Here's me fighting the tutorial boss which surprisingly some people had issues with from what I heard.
I fricken messed up so much in this battle but I still managed to win XD.

That boss was so easy. It was actually one of the easiest boss battles I've ever encountered.
I remember thinking that Dark Souls wasn't going to be so bad. It wasn't even so bad once I got out of the tutorial. I had a little bit of trouble between the Asylum Demon and Tartarus Demon (mostly because I didn't know that there is essentially only one path you can take if you don't want to get slaughtered right away). But then I got to the Tartarus Demon and got annihilated instantly. So I made my way back there again (I didn't see any 30 second shortcut either which is weird cause I always explore everywhere possible in games) and decided to be much more careful and promplty got utterly destroyed again. At this point I was rather agitated but I went at it again and attempted to kill him with bombs which was decently effective but then I ran out of bombs and he proceeded to kill me again. For my fourth go at him (I was getting really annoyed because I had to go through all of those mobs every time I died) I found the ladder that leads to the tower and I remember laughing a bit to myself because I though I would get away with climbing up that and throwing all my bombs and shooting him with all my arrows without him being able to attack back. Needless to say I was entirely wrong and he jumped up right away and destroyed my life again.
At that point I was raging so I took the disc out and threw it on the ground and went to watch some Netflix. A few days later I decided to give it another try. I figured I would just grind (which is something I despise BTW) and kill mobs to level up so I could have better defense and afford enough bombs to kill him. I spent the next 2 days (3 couple hour sessions) leveling my character up until I felt confident enough that I would beat him. I went back to the boss and proceeded chucking bombs at him and trying to avoid his attacks. That didn't work either because he drained my health before I could beat him and killed me again.
That was pretty much the breaking point for me. I took the game out of the tray and put it back in the case and went ahead and put it on craigslist.
And that pretty much sums up my experience with Dark Souls

Maybe its the class you played? I remember trying the boss one on one - it didnt take me more than a minute to kill it (because it involved me climbing the ladder and jumping on the boss and dealing dmg).
I also have a separate save file/character that I use to play multiplayer with my friends - the boss only lasted 10 seconds despite the increased HP and difficulty lol.
^ Talking about the Tartarus demon.
The only downside imo is that you can miss a lot of things such as the reinforcing the flask at the firelink shrine or the path you have to take (my first visit to the shrine I went down the graveyard and got destroyed in a matter of seconds).

Yeah I didn't know anything about dive bombing the boss (I don't remember about any dive bombing in the game at all actually. Must have missed it during the tutorial). I'm sure dive bombing would have made it significantly easier though.
I was the Knight class.
