Dark Souls Kills 1.19 Million Units At Retail

This game looks awesome but I am not going to put up with the high difficulty level. If it was more casual I would have bought it.

I bought the first one and spent about 15 hours really trying to get into the game, but the difficulty just made it no fun. The game isn't bad at all just extremely difficult. In fact,t he hardest game I ever played. I had to return the game.

I 100%'d it. It's really not that tough once you know what you're doing. I mean, sure, you die. But death isn't costly. It happens. It's the little shock that tells you "don't do that."

I don't really get why people are surprised and think the game is abnormally difficult, it's about as hard as any PS1 era game.

What happened to us? When did we become such babies when it comes to difficulty?

Battletoads?
Ghosts & Goblins?
Castlevania?
Contra?

Anytime we come across a somewhat taxing modern game we throw in the towel and whine about not being able to complete a game without dying. Yet we look back at the original controller breaking games with awe and nostalgia

With the increase in storytelling, the drive is more to get the 'complete experience' rather than experiencing the path.

you know 3 of those are arcade games right? made hard for the sole purpose of squeezing more money out of you, and no other purpose, why would you want that again?

The game is not difficult, it only requires: Patience, Strategy, Perseverance and Optimism.

Once you defeat some tough-looking foes (this is the hardest part), you then start to trust in your skills and the desire for challenge becomes higher, and makes you keep playing. I'm happy it sold well, I want to see more of this.

I got to pre-order this for the PC if I can.
