I've come to realize that the "Souls" games and Bloodborne are terrible games...

More like they're not your kind of games and you didn't even try to learn its rules and mechanics.
Yeah, big guys hit hard, that's why you have to avoid being right in their faces. Based on your post, you didn't even really try. Bloodborne's gameplay is about quick reactions, dodging, hitting at the right time. And these "huge guys with a brick" are among the easiest mobs in the whole game. Same for those dogs.

Well said.  I'm new to the souls series, and Im someone that absolutely hates dieing and losing progress. I died alot at the beginning and took me over an hour jsut to get to the cleric, lots of frustration. I even had to level myself a crap load to beat gascoigne lol   But i soon learned the mechanics, and how to read mobs without running in gung ho and getting myself slaughtered.  it wasnt long before i was killing Yarhnam herself lol  and had loads of deaths along the way, and almost broke a controller vs logarius lol

Bloodborne is an absolutely brilliant game from mechanics to atmosphere, its just rather hard and doesnt tell you anything about how to improve lol  it doesnt have any hand holding, just throws you to the wolves lol
