Is demon souls the right game for me?

The game can be frustrating because you can and will die easily and often from "noob" enemies, not just bosses, but once you get to know how the enemies behave and since there is no randomization in the enemies stats or placement, it's trial and error.

 

The above is "why" people find it difficult and get frustrated, like I said, you need to learn the enemies, but you will die a lot as you go through the game, if you do not learn from your mistakes, you will repeat them, and will lose all your souls, I know a few people who stopped playing after they died when trying to get their souls back..

Also - sometimes you bite off more than you can chew with the guys, the (can't remember if it was a blue eyed or red eyed knight in first level) totally raped me, and I tried to get my souls back and failed miserably... that sucked.. 

 

 

If they wanted to make it really difficult, they could have randomized stats on some enemies as well as placement.  They could add immunities to certain enemies.  They could make it so that when you die, you lose all of your souls and your items.  That would be pretty crippling.  If they wanted to make it absolutely insane, you'd lose all of your stat points along with your souls too, but that's crazy talk.

 

Sssshhh... Altus may be listening, and may incorporate the above ^^  - Though Random stats and immunities would be really really cool :)  Or if they managed to do a Diablo thing (random dungeons) that would be cool as well, as well as sadistic lol
