It is hard, but not in an artificial way like "Nintendo hard." Any deaths are a result of poor choices on your part, not because of bullshit mechanics, so over time as skill increases the game becomes progressively easier.

Yeah, your first run through, everything actually stays about the same difficulty the whole way through because you should be getting better at the same rate it gets hard.
Any other runs through the game just get progressively easier and easier until now where people have played through it blindfolded.

bed of chaos isn't really bullshit design

it's just a really fucking stupid idea

The mechanics surrounding it aren't bullshit, it'd be fine if the arms just did damage and didn't knock you into instadeath pits, or just knocked you into pits with enemies or something.

i can only be glad we've already got confirmation they'll try to avoid that for dark souls 2

Asked whether From Software and Namco ever considered a Wii U port, Miyazoe bluntly replies: “No.” When asked why, he explodes with laughter. “Wii U never came up, and we never doubted that (decision) either,” he says. “It was more of a company decision, so I wasn’t the one that decided this, but I think the audience for the Wii U is a lot different from the audience for Dark Souls.”

Soooo...Dark Souls?
Sorry for the bump, but I Just got this game for Christmas (a couple years late, I know), and I must say, it's AMAZING. My favorite weapons so far are the Drake Sword, Zweihander, and Uchigatana.I mostly go for strength builds, but I've made a few dex builds as well(how I discovered the Uchi). Also, fuck Blighttown.

Blighttown wasn't too bad except for getting lost. I think I'm selectively blind when it involves ladders.

But how else will he have all the MLP characters as playable characters?

The four kings were so easy for me the first time. Why does the jump in difficulty between new game and new game plus seem so much bigger for them than everyone else?

Oh right, I still have this to finish. Though my choices are between Seathe's Archives (fuck that), Demon Ruins (fuck this), and Tomb of Giants (fuck everything).

Four Kings went down like nothing though with a +10 Great Scythe.

Man I just speedrun tomb of the giants till I get to the last bonfire before Nito. It is in no way worth it fighting anything in that area.

I speedrun Blighttown too because lol framerate on ebox
