the tower knight is easy, i don't know why people think hes godly...

Because the first time anyone faces him, they try to tackle him head to head. 

It's not only through a process of trial and error that you actually find that he's a bit of a pushover, if you know where and how to tackle him.

Now Flamelurker...that's godly xD.

No, Flamelurker is not godly. Thankfully none of the bosses are Godly and I like that design choice. It satisfies me that the part to boss is ultra-hard but the boss is "normal".

I had the hardest time with those demons who become two or three after a while. Died about 25 times until I cheated by reading my guide on how to position myself.

If you don't have the correct build for him, he is godly. And trust me, on NGplus, it seems he gets even worse (mostly because he has more HP, thus his Berserk'd last stage of the fight carries on for longer).

Different people have different troubles in Demon's Souls bosses. I've seen a lot of people hating the man-eaters, but to me they were the easiest bosses in the game, even without using the mist gate glitch. 

And yeah, i'm mostly a sword user. At the time I fought him on my first time, my dexterity wasn't as high as it should, so I wasn't carrying an bow with me. Had to beat him with a Crescent Falchion with a couple of Sticky White Stuff.

With a sword guy how do you even reach Storm King?

Easy, there was the Storm Ruler Long Sword on the northern part of the arena where you fought him.

From NGplus forward, though, I used a bow exclusively. A Sticky Compound Long Bow plus 5 is an amazing weapon indeed

Hmm... why is my memory of that Storm Rules Sword so vague? I remember seeing it and maybe picking it up too, but was it maybe that I couldn't use it due to stat restrictions?

Stormruler had no stats restrictions, but it could only be picked up during the boss fight. If you didn't pick it up before killing Storm King, then the sword would disappear for that playthrough.

well, unlike most people, when i saw the archers, i thought to myself "hey i'll kill those archers first so then me and the boss be 1 on 1" and then i figured him out easily.

Yeah, most people would only realize that those archers were the actual nuisance in the battle, after dying a couple of times.

I died on my first time because, after killing the archers, I was trying to pick up some of the Herbs as my stock was pretty low, and TK killed me with his charged sword throw attack. On my second try, I went straight for his back after dispatching the archers and the fight was pretty manageable.

Ahh, dam, that's it! So would it have been usable further in the game had I picked it up?

The sword itself is pretty weak, and it's special effect only activates against the Storm King and his Manta minions in that fight alone. So even though it's usable, I wouldn't recommend it at all.
