Of course there is, just like Dark Souls and Demon's Souls had an easy difficulty.

It's called summoning other players to kill a boss for you while you hide in a corner.

Well, that's not much fun. And I don't play online anyway.

Yup easy games are the norm, and guess what?  They're boring.  You may as well just watch a movie.  The rush when you finally defeat a challenge is what keeps me coming back, not mindless button mashing a baby could pull off

Isn't weapon customization a new feature in Bloodborne. Would definitely explain the lack of base weapons.

This dumb myth that Souls games are insanely hard, a grind and "masochistic trial and error bullshit" is really getting old.
The thing is Souls games CAN be played as trial and error games if you decide to run head long and not play attention.
But that doesn't mean that's the ONLY way to play these games, being careful will minimize deaths during a playthrough.

As long as you progress slowly, don't attract more than 1-2 mobs at a time, manage your stamina, block enemies and circle around them for backstabs, it's easy as hell.
Same deal for bosses, just hug them and move to the right and most of the early ones don't even require you to roll, they will simply miss with most attacks.

Also, many bosses have clear shortcuts you can open when you reach their general area you can simply run back to them without needing kill any other mobs.
Effectively you only need to beat an area once and you're done with it unless you're looking for rare drops. And on subsequent playthroughs when you know where the shortcuts are you can just run by most enemies and open them up, that's how these "60+ hours games" can be beaten in 45 minutes by speedrunners.

Ironically games like DMC3+4, Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising are harder then all the Souls games when played on their "Hard" setting.

Bayonetta hard? Use Witch Time and you are invencible for life (use evade any time you will be hited and Witch Time will happen every single time)... the hardest difficult without Witch Time? Equip a sword and just hold triangle to kill any enemie in the game (80% one hit kill and you can hold triangle again before the move ends so infinite move each 1-2 seconds to kill the two/three hits enemies).

Bayonetta is the esiesty hack'n'slash I ever played in my life... easy Platinum with few hours.

You know, the guys complaining, why don't you give the game a go? Just don't hush and be at a slower pace. I'm pretty sure you all would be able to beat the game eventually!

For the record, I was not complaining (speaking for myself only). I know what the game is, I know what to expect, and I know that it is not a game for me.

As I said originally, I lack both skill and patience for it.... So, I do not want to play a game at a slower pace, get killed constantly in hope to beat it eventually... I don't find that fun. I play games like GTA, Tomb Raider, Far Cry, Dying Light etc., ones I can enjoy while progressing without frustration. I tried Lords of the Fallen, as people said it is similar to DS, and gave up after two bosses. It was hard, I died a lot, but that's not why I quit. I'm sure had I persevered, I would have beaten the game....but I just couldn't muster the patience to progress at a snail's pace...

No need for Dark Souls fans to feel upset by my preferences. Bloodborne looks like a wonderful game...I just don't think I would enjoy 40+ hours of dying, dodging and taking it very slowly...

I hope all fans enjoy it, I actually hope it becomes GOTY, I just know I will never play it. 

Give it to me already. ;~;
