anyone agree this game is harder than 1 and 2?

[Average Juice Enjoyer]

I can personally say after completing no death runs in both dark souls 1 and 2 that this game is much harder for me, maybe i'm not used to the combat just yet but it at least seems that way

[SnusHead]

Agreed.

But once you learn the combat system and the movements of the enemies it's slightly easier than the 1st imo,

[Bunshi]

Depends on how you play,it seemed fine to me,nothing compared to the Darklurker ,still have nightmares about that one.

[Ackerlight]

Yes it is - Agreed

I think the bosses are easier, but the normal enemies are much harder.

[Phade]

The only reason this game is harder is due to the fact that the game focuses much more heavily on dodging than blocking. It feels like they're tried to smash bloodborne and souls together, because theres literally no point to armor, no matter what armor you have you'll still take the same amount of damage if you get hit.

A shield + weapon can get you through the game, you can easily play the rest naked.

[No One]

No, it's not as hard. For example you don't even lose health when you die, or the fact that you can farm to get infinite souls...

The base game is harder than 2 anyway, but the DLC bosses of DS2 were harder than the ones in DS3.

Well you could do that in DS1 as well, and in DS2 it was unrealistic to run out of mobs to farm, and the CoC covenant even allowed you to keep farming.

All 3 games are hard the first time you play them, afterwards if you know where to go, what to do, what items to find, it becomes a cake walk :3.

But...
wasn't that the case in DS1 too?

not really, i believe DS 1 only reduced health when you were cursed.

My difficulty ranking from hardest to easiest would have to be:
Demon Souls
DS3
DS1
Bloodborne
DS2

Not counting DLC, of course. That throws it way off.

Although maybe some of my difficulty with 3 is coming from the bugs and stuff, have to see after all the patches

True that. DS2 DLC was really hard, but I'm also hoping DS3 DLC will be hard too. I think this game is on par with DS1, enemies and bosses are really aggressive but when you get used to dodging you can handle them. Fights are 10x more intense though

[Facu]

No.

The Nameless King is one the most awesome bosses in the game, if the DLC's will have more like him, i can't wait \[T]/

[Melodious]

Normal enemies are tougher. Bosses are easier though. NG+ doesn't have much in a way of difficulty increase either.
