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?

It's true, if you play it blind you WILL die fairly quickly to most anything. I prefered Demon's Souls as it had the right "elements" for me, but Dark Souls was just irritating sometimes. To those who have played blind, lower town boss gate to the enclosed courtyard vs a capra demon and 2 direwolf style enemies.
