this game is not hard, its unfair

[Jazz the Goose]

the game is 80% abushes where you cant see enemies. its like trial and error. youll, repeat 15 minutes, die 1 minute later and repeat. this is just terrible. i bought this game for challenging fights, not a whole group of hellebardes carrying undead to lure behind walls with other undead throwing a million fire bombs at me. you cant even fight. i mean that all would be ok but you die in 2 hits since youre always half life. do you at least a mod that removed the 50% hp cap?

you may take the more challenging route as the first area by accident.. like for the first dark souls game, graveyard first before undead burg is insanely difficult. for dark souls 2, take forest of fallen giants first before heide's tower. Yes, there will be a lot of unfairness, gank squad, etc.. but isn't dark souls about overcoming all those hilariously overwhelming odds stacked against you? well ok, except for capra demon at DS1. now that fight is UNFAIR.

uhhh isn't it mean to be heide tower first for it to be more difficult?

dark souls 2 is better than dark souls 1 in such matter

[Bader]

This .. this right here reminds me of my first play tthrough .. good memories. Anyway, it will take time to learn how to play this game. The first thing i recommened you do is summon other people to help you, if you dont want to summon others, take your time to learn all the enemies attacks so you can dodge them easily. And as everyone said, you can recover your health by using a Human Effigy. You also should keep in mind that you are playing Dark Souls, you will die over and over like everyone, but one day, you will beat the game :)

I hope the best for you in the game, and remember, never go hollow!

sorry i wasn't clear about that.. what i want to say was for starting dark souls 2: forest of fallen giants is easy, heide tower is hard.

Unless you have a Mace. Or a Club.

The first game was way harder, and this game is easy if you go prepared

In Dark Souls 2 everything is unfair. That's how game is designed:
-spear hollows - You would think that if someone is using spear he/she/it can not track You down while You are moving sideways, they can not only turn but also attack at the same time by 180 degrees or more
-mace old knights in heide tower or later in Dragons Shrine(or whatever it is called) - no recovery time and that means as melee character You have not any time to safely attack. This is the best example of bad enemy design, plus like spear guys they can easly track your position and hit you
-Red NPC invaders- even early invaders have 2000hp! and can 3 shot You, can chug, have poise from... NOTHING, if Lance had such a great tracking and follow up r1's like Maldron has You would not see even a single katana in PvP.
Everything is unfair and unbalanced just to make things harder not challenging.

Now look at Dark Souls 1.
Silver/Dark Knights - easy to backstab and parry, THEY HAVE POISE, high defences but low HP
-spear hollows- can not track You and turn by 90 degres while attacking

Just think how easy most bosses in Dark Souls 2 would be if You could fight them one by one
Gargoyles? pff
Ruin Sentinels? pff
Even Freja without small spiders is so simple... but they had to add the small just to make it harder
The only good designed enemy in Dark Souls 2 are Golems in third DLC(without head, are blocking the chest with Curved Nil Greatsword)

yeah please show me where the bad dark souls touched you.

[Cool!]

If effigies are your concern, get the agape ring, host a fight club at the iron keep wearing it and as they kill eachother you get human effigies. No health loss then
