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

What challenge level are you playing at on Witcher 3?

Death March. I'm going for the Platinum. It's not the difficulty of Bloodborne that puts me off though. I like that it's difficult. I'm a trophy hunter and I always play games on the hardest level. It's that it feels like the devs blast you back so far after a death just to add to gameplay length. That's the frustration.

You do know you can speed run to the boss right? kill it and you will open a new checkpoint. It's even more central and from there, you can open several short-cut gates and all you're problems are over. you don't need to kill anyone to progress, you can skip it unless if you wanna level up which is a good idea.
The game is a bit of a drag in the beginning, but as soon as you beat the first 2-3 bosses the game will turn into a blast. I play Witcher 3 at the hardest level, and the frustration was even more real then bloodborne so i doubt it that you did, but i give you the benefit of doubt

 

But isn't frustration relative? Also, why would I want to just run past everything when leveling up is integral to surviving in this game? 

Not if you want to fight a boss. The frustration i had went away after 3 bosses and each monster could be slain with 2 slashes and i learned all of their movements. the frustration turns into playtime
