Have you ever quit a game due to difficulty?

Ahh, I resorted to over leveling in DS2 to get past the cheap parts, yet that rendered the rest of the game too easy. Hence falling out of love with the series. Cheap and unbalanced is what DS2 left me with, with a less interesting level design compared to dark souls.

I'm set on playing the original on PS5, if that gets me to love the series again, Bloodborne will be played!

Atm I'm still plodding through Ghost of Tsushima, very pretty and nice combat mechanics but it's worse than a AC game in repetitive things to do. I ran away from Tiki island, don't think I'll return to complete that part. Just focusing on completing the main game now. It never ends! Just too damn much, ruining the game tbh. (That and unskippable repetitive cutscenes, forced slow walking parts etc)

Oh, not for nothing, but there are rumours of a PS5 remake/upgrade for Bloodborne in the works by the same team that did the Demon's Souls remake. So there's that. However, uh, I wouldn't hinge your future love for the series on Demon's Souls. it is a very good game and I LOVED it, but many of its design decicions were...well, it's the originator of the souls series and it feels like it. Item Burden is a thing, and the upgrade paths get ludicrous. Magic breaks the game, though. You can cruise through 90% of the game just with the royalty class starter equipment and spells. 

As for Ghost, holy shit I knoooowww. I loved that game, every minute of it, but I'm not even done the 2nd island/area yet and I already feel the game is about 15 hours too long. Looks pretty, plays well, I don't have any critiques of the game except the whole thing needs to be compressed to about half its size and length.
