Well, it's understandable, it is your first soul game. The thing that you felt with dark souls were the same thing that I felt with Demon souls since it was my first souls game. After reading a lot that you would die countless time, that only motivated me to tried a new type of game never experienced before. I played demon souls over and over again, couldn't stop playing it. When I played Dark souls, felt that it was a good game but not at the same level as Demon Souls, maybe because I already knew how to play the game, so I didn't find it that difficult. The struggle was nowhere near what I had with Demon Souls.


The thing with me about Demon's Souls was not the fact that I had prior experience with Souls and therefore things got easier; that's something I can understand, despite having core differences both games (By the time I got to Dark Souls 2, I didn't have that much problems beating it, to be honest). My thing about Demon's Souls is that, while the lore feels more powerful than Dark Souls, its dungeon design wasn't nowhere as brilliant in my eyes, and ending bosses were way too flashy but with zero substance (not all of them, mind you). You kill a certain boss by pressing two buttons, then slashing him once when he's down, for example. There's another one that commits suicide in front of your eyes. That's awesome from a lore-perspective, but not so much when it translates into a turn-off when playing.

i did find the bosses in demon souls way too easy, some bosses can be beaten with just the compound bow, I think the thing that I loved about demon souls was how much you would struggle to get to that final boss because you knew that one mistake meant to start the level all over again and if by that time you had a good chunk of souls accumulated and died near the boss, you would take extra precaution just to get to those souls, I only experienced few ocassions of losing my souls in dark souls.  But I agree, the dungeons and bosses were better in dark souls overall.  It's just that the sense of rewards was bigger with demon souls than dark souls in my case.  I haven't tried dark souls 2, waiting for the ps4 version.
