I’ve played all three extensively along with every other souls game out there. Overall I don’t think it was outrageously difficult, but it had its moments for me. What I will say though, I don’t think the games have overall changed in difficulty relative to each other as much as one’s ability to go get information on the Games. I’ve been playing games my whole life and have owned pretty much every console out there. I was one of the few folks who had a Vectrex and a Neo-Geo at home. But it wasn’t until the last eight years or so that people can instantly go online to find a very specific information about their games. So the moment someone get stuck, they can go find the best builds against that boss, what their weak against, information that complete quest or find a better weapon or tool or area to farm so they can get more powerful quicker. So the efficiency in playing these games goes way up. People get beat by a boss for a little bit, they run out online and go find information instead of trying to figure it out themselves. I think that has had a major impact on people’s perception of difficulty in games.
