I've beaten Demon Souls only and I don't like how you often have to run through a whole difficult level to get to the boss if you die to the boss. It forces me to not want to do new things or take risks and instead just lame it out. It does look like Dark Souls 2 improved upon that a bit (haven't seen much of DS1).

"There is nothing in the entire series that is “cheap.”": Well thats not true...getting invaded by someone way stronger than you? Trap Chests? Cheaply placed enemies/traps that are almost impossible to avoid? Just because there are bloodstains, doesn't make it any less cheap.

The Souls series however does have some of the best handling of death in any video game though. However DS2 went and made it worse by chipping away at your health bar each time you die @.@
