"Dark Souls is Not Hard"

A souls game is hard the first time you play it as it doesn't explain anything. I didn't even know you could jump until 30 hours in, after restarting my first 20 hour attempt as I had leveled all the wrong stats and was pretty much stuck by lack of any explanation.

Now if you read a guide first, the game suddenly becomes very easy. You still need plenty patience though. (Shoot dragon tail 100 times from a safe position and other nonsense like that)

There's an "explain" button when levelling ... and it does teach you how to jump ... 

Did they add that later, I never saw an explain button, nor did it ever tell me how to jump. It happened by accident a couple times and then I started experimenting to figure out how to reproduce it. I remember it well, no clue how to get magic working in my first attempt at the game.

Dark souls was a lot of fun in the end, so the frustration was worth it. However I still haven't started Bloodborne. Kinda had enough of the series after DS2. I don't mind the dying, I do mind reload times. If it would reset instantly I would play it. Why does it need to reload the level anyway, just reset the enemies.
