Jesus christ, this game is far from extreme or 'too difficult'. It's a challenge yes, but so long as you have a working brain and reactions faster than a sloth, you'll do fine. It is a steep curve from most games but it's no Devil May Cry/Street Fighter.
Lol Street Fighter, you don't need a brain for that
Spoken like a five year old who's never played it.
Go read a book
the storyline is pretty weak but the lore is fantastic.Virtua Fighter I agree on, but the rest are lol... Mortal Kombat and Tekken are just a mash fest on one anothers block until you land a launcher, and then a rediculously easy juggle combo for most their HP. The fact you think Tekken takes more skill than Street Fighter proves you don't know anything about the genre and you've most likely played the aforementioned games through arcade and think your the best.
You'd never do a fadc or a 1 frame link on Street Fighter, ever.
Exactly this, if you find Dark Souls too hard, hang up your controller and take up gardening or something.
Or play something much more instantly rewarding and fun
I can't think of anything thats rewarding when it comes to video games except difficulty, and I can only think of 4 difficult games off the top of my head.
Complete opposite, you get little to no recognition and you'll know the enemies that will rip you a new one the second you see them, the cretins you find throughout are just fodder to catch out the newbs.
Lol, its absolutely nothing like that, maybe you've only just started and understably are not at the level to beat it yet? Laws of nature, no?
Very few people will pick up and play this perfectly, its a moderate amount of trial and error, with the average level of patience and average level of skill you'll get through this easily enough. If you find yourself getting killed enough to get angry, you either have little patience or little skill, or both.
I'll never forget Patches the Hyena, ****er had me in both games.
Yeah, its the total opposite of that, you get called a brave hero once or twice by the occasional damsel in distress, otherwise everything tries to kill you and eat your souls.

That completely differs from person to person though, the only boss that killed me twice was the Lava Centipede, everything else was one death or no death and figuring them out on the fly as you said. You can't really make a sweeping statement saying that everyone is going to be in situations where you 'have to spend a huge amount of time just to get back to try something again with minimal chance of succeeding' as myself and a few people I knew back on Xbox never suffered from that.
Once you grab the Drake Sword the game is lols, and when you eventually grab a lightning weapon its even more lols.
A Lightning Zweihander + 5 could 1 shot most mobs, and handle most bosses in three or four shots on the first NG.
I remember actually fighting nine Demonic Minotaurs (first boss you'll meet, only theres nine of them
) and getting bored with how easy it was to divide and conquer.Dead Rising 2 is very easy just farm until you reach lvlv 50 bring a few books/decent weapons with you & most take 3-4 shots to down. The game designers really want you to reach lvl50 before you can fully enjoy it
Or go grab the Tiger.
Plenty of shortcuts to open up to greatly cut down the time it takes to get your souls, when you learn the bonfire locations you'll easily plan ahead for each boss for a fast route back should you die.
Which Dragons were these? The Helkite on the bridge and the blue sleeping Dragon on the cliffside?
The one difficult boss I remember was the Fallen Hero (giant blind swordsman before the super big flying manta ray thing), god that guy infuriated me. The end boss of Demon's Souls was just as lackluster and anti-climatic as Dark Souls. That's opinion though, if you can parry compitently, Gwynn is a complete joke.
They did give the Helkite a melee option in Dark Souls though that was easy enough. The little guy was unpredictable though, but with some decent flame resistance and stamina even his breath can be blocked efficiently, same can't be said for Demon's Helkite.
That's what I mean, the Dark Helkite could be melee'd, the Demon's Helkite from my experience couldn't, personally I just took it with a bow as it flew over.
I think what was most annoying was that in the very first area after 20-30 minutes of exploring you can practically turn left and open up a short cut, or turn right and a big dragon goes 'BLARP NO' and fries you. It's like, ffs dragon!!!
There is another moment like that in the next area where you are walking along these 'battlements' and this big dragon goes 'BLARP NO' and toasts you.... soooo annoying!
From the point you said 'BLARP NO' I read the rest of your post in Arnold Swartzenegger's voice!
Nord nonsense!? Why you puffed up, eeegnorant...
Off the Record adds tons to that, aswell. Plus you can be Frank which is awesome... I mean he's covered wars ya' know.
Love how I basically cannot play this game until I get a gamepad, no way am I even going to try on keyboard + mouse, the damn Asylum Demon almost killed me, I felt ashamed.
I don't get why they are moaning, what do people expect, to die and respawn behind whatever killed you? There is a bonfire basically right next to most boss fights, I don't understand...
Didn't play God of War I & II HD and then III I presume? One of the best damn gaming experience of my life. Only reason to have a PS3 IMO.
