Current playing Dark Souls. So far it hasn't been bad. I've died a total of 4 or 5 times. I just beat the Taurus Demon (which I died twice to) and sniped off the dragon's tail from under the bridge to get the Drake Sword. Although another 2 or 3 of those 5 deaths were from falling to my death trying to dodge roll away from a monster and then off a cliff, the game is more difficult than it's predecessor.

So far it's pretty fun, and quite rewarding. I'd be farther if I had more time to play it.
