Many games today are very forgiving with the player. I guess in an attempt to captivate more players, they turned gaming more acessible. Not everbody have years of experience and pratice with a joypad.

But growing on the old days of NES and arcades, I am simply too hardened for a game which doesn't put some opposition. If the game is simply too easy I can't stand playing it.

Dark Souls isn't just hard, it's a game made to be hard and thus, it's challenge is rewarding. You need both skill, patience and even a bit of strategy. It's really a game for gamers who are used to the ins and outs of the medium.

I am happy this kind of stuff is still made today.
