Easier than what? Dark Souls isn't hard either. Based on my beta impressions, I'd say they're around the same difficulty. In fact, I probably died more in the beta than I would in an average Dark Souls playthrough, but I'd say that's mostly attributed to playing the game as if it was the original Dark Souls and getting fucked over by the gameplay changes as a result.
So does you being a balkno extend into other parts of your life, or do you just keep it to video games? I can totally imagine you buying an ice cream, eating it, and then complaining that the ice cream sucked because now all you have in your hand is the little stick. Or doing a crossword puzzle and then complaining that it was terrible because now it's been filled in.

It's almost as if you're trying to say that Dark Souls wouldn't be a great game without being difficult. Why are you such a balkno?
No. What I'm saying is that you have this bizarre tendency to judge video games after you've essentially exhausted them - and then retroactively applying those judgments to the game as a whole. It makes no sense. Dark Souls is absolutely a very difficult game, and you've probably stated as such at least half a dozen times on the old site. It may be simple for you now, but that doesn't mean that the game magically became easier, it means that you got better at it after playing it so much.
You're mistaking being bad at video games for the game being difficult. Granted, I did so as well, and only later did I realize how mistaken I was (there was some fanboy mentality as well). I could pick up a game like CoD and do absolutely terrible in it, but that doesn't mean the game is hard. I'm just bad at it. As for Dark Souls, I just don't see what's that difficult about it; there's no one-hit deaths, enemies don't hit you very hard, you have an ample and constantly available source of potent healing items which can be used in very generous timing windows, there's no RNG and there's nothing in the game that's mechanically challenging in execution (at least in PvE). Moreover, the upgrade system makes you outscale the power of your enemies very easily.
Mind you, that's not a "judgment" of the game. I just happen to think the game is fair, that's all. I absolutely do not believe it would be a better game if it was harder. It's just a little annoying to me that Dark Souls is just a "difficult game" for a lot of people when it succeeds on so many other levels.
