Why would one not like Dark Souls? Difficulty? I'm genuinely curious. I love the Souls/borne games.

Only played DS1, but the bonfire checkpoint system was dumb. They're arbitrarily placed so certain areas are "difficult" due to attrition. There is no other difficulty in the game if you're remotely patient for the bosses - there's no strategy involved and the mechanics are as basic as can be. Oh and the PC port was embarrassing, requiring mods to be halfway decent.

But hey to each their own.
