Dark Souls

Dark Souls II will be a huge hit. A mega hit. This will be the game that makes the Souls series mainstream (for better or for worse). The developers surely know this and Dark Souls II is destined to sell like hot cakes. However, if the developers were to decrease the difficulty they will destroy the hardcore appeal to the series. Hardcore gamers carry with them majority of the hype. I truly feel that if they release an easier Souls game with Dark Souls II, the series will hit its climax in terms of sales, and only continue to drop from there. However, if they were to maintain the difficulty or even increase it a tad, they will have a very long lasting profitable franchise.

Thoughts?

Am I the only one who find Dark Souls not that difficult?

It isn't very difficult once you understand how it works. If you resorted to gather information from outside sources, such as wikis or forums, the game becomes very managable.

Getting to that point, however, is where the difficulty is.
