I am interested in why people are interested in this game. I’ve never played it, but from the lets plays I’ve watched it looks neither fun nor entertaining. In addition, it’s kind of ugly. Is there something I’m missing about it? What makes this game great?

I'm kind of with you on this one. Also, the difficulty doesn't sound fun to me. I mean, I like challenge, but you cannot get a review that doesn't talk about dying a lot. Sounds frustrating to me.

I didn't find the game that difficult (at least for its reputation). What made me really love specifically the first Dark Souls is its extraordinary world design (maybe the best i have seen in any game, i can only think of the first metroid prime coming close) as well as its 'lore based' storytelling (there is no traditional narration but the world and its characters suggest everything story-wise).
