Imo, (i've platinumed the game) and i think the game was very hard. and thats mainly because of the lack of checkpoints. i mean you have to restart again from the beginning of the level and it takes ages.
imo, its a good game, just too time consuming - the ammount of times i died on the Valley of Defilement or the Land of the Storm Kings (whatever its called). i love the dark atmosphere of the game -
but the difficultly is doing everything perfectly again and again.
i really hope they rectify this with Dark Souls for a more enjoyable experience imo. but i found the Maneater boss fight and the Valley of Defilement ridiculously hard!! i didnt know how to change soul tendancy etc, until late in my playthrough sadly!
