People who complain about dark souls difficulty are mad.
That game has so many crutches for new players its almost silly.. Super powerful weapons that you can get within 30 minutes of gameplay, npc summons that pretty much solo bosses for you, giving you buff items that let you kill the level bosses in about 5-10 hits (pine resin wrecks the taurus demon)
@skhirloloemr Because the souls games don't ascribe to the idea that games have to be tailored to the player.
They are the developers vision, and that is why they shine. If demon souls had a difficulty slider i'm damn sure i would have used it back when i first tried it. And it would have entirely ruined the series for me.
The souls games entirely changed how i view difficulty in games. Instead of changing a slider, i changed the way i approach games in general.
