I was in a very similar situation to you a couple of years back when Bloodborne came out. Of course, at the time Dark Souls 3 hadn't been released but I wanted to get into the Souls-like genre. So I bought Bloodborne for $15 a couple of months after it launched. And I enjoyed the setting and Gothic styling to it a great deal. The gameplay took some getting used to as my first Souls game but I got the hang of it and enjoyed exploring the world for the opening of the game. Then it happened...
I hit Father Gascoigne. And this wall was a wall I have never gotten passed. I've made more than 100 attempts. My play time in the game is well over 25 hours and I'm just stuck. I put the game on the backburner and planned on going back to it another day.
This year I got Dark Souls 3 in January. I'll say this - the difficulty of Dark Souls 3 is set a lot more immediately. The first boss and mini boss are all experienced within the first half hour of play. But it's a difficulty that scales much better with both character progression and gamer skill progression. I managed to work my way through all of Dark Souls 3 and even beat all the optional bosses in the base game. It was an amazing experience.
After having accomplished that I recently went back to Bloodborne for a couple of 3 hour stints of getting beaten by Father Gascoigne time and time again and have put the game on the backburner yet again.
But that's just my experience. A lot of what people have said about your play style with games does matter and I'm always a more defensive and methodical player vs someone who can react in the moment well.

Quite fascinating indeed.
As an aggressive playstyle type of person, I beat Father Gascoigne on the first try. Nameless King on the other hand was almost impossible for me to kill solo. If I tried 100 times then I win maybe 1/100 with my 2h axe.
