Are souls games really as hard as everyone says? (lemmy.world)

I want to play Bloodborne because quite frankly it looks really cool. I'm told the game is going to be way too difficult for me. I usually play games on standard or easy difficulty. Should I even bother? Is this game even going to be playable to a noob like me?

the thing about souls games is that people on the internet insist that the only REAL way to play them is through extra difficult self-imposed challenge runs (summons? resin? pyromancy? you didn't beat the game)

ignore that and you can temper the difficulty down a lot, though you'll likely still need a good amount of patience and perseverance, especially if it's your first time playing

I've beat frustrating games before so I think I have the required patience. It was a different type of game but it still applies I think.
