Dark Souls is made out to be this ridiculously difficult game with bosses that will annihilate you again and again.
[spoiler]I've been playing Dark Souls for the past week or so, and I've come to the conclusion that the majority of players are simply overselling the whole thing to make it seem like it's nearly impossible to play.
The only reason I can imagine this game being nearly as difficult as everyone claims it to be is if someone isn't at all noticing and adapting to enemy attack patterns, or if they're taking on areas or enemies that they're entirely unprepared for.
New Game+ and beyond, however, may be different, but I've yet to experience that for myself.[/spoiler]
What are your thoughts? Is it as hard as people say, or is it all just a huge over-exaggeration?

I picked up 2 blind. Didn't know crap about the game. I made about 6 different characters the first 2 hours of play. I had no idea what was going on. When I watched walkthroughs and talked to friends it got easier. But it is basically unforgiving to people that don't know. I watched a walkthrough of 1 and the guy basically speed ran the thing only healing from fall damage because he had every location memorized and knew which order to get items. He made it look like Sonic the HedgeHog.
