Actually no, I think the game was a bit easy. They gave players a one hit kill weapon at the beginning of the game which you can use for quite a while. Look, if you're looking for a hard game and if you actually try to become better at it then Dark Souls isn't all that hard. Challenging yes but not as hard as you say it is. Demon's Souls was much harder.Your point is valid but you still have to admit that the game is lil harder which is the main down point.. and the only reason by which guys break the disk into pieces
The Souls series is for the hardcore gamers who have had enuf of games holding their hands through missions and objectives, its for those people who want to test their skill when they are placed in a ruthless world that shows no mercy for the weak. Play it only if you think you're ready, I've seen a lot of guys who wanted to play Dark Souls and ended up hating it cuz they went into a game with a "Heard it was hard, I'll give it a shot" mindset. They got killed too many times and just gave up on the game but then they came back with a "This time, I'm gonna beat it" mindset, and they utterly enjoyed themselves. They resent themselves for hating the game the 1st time they played it, its all about what you're in the mood for.
