I preordered this on Steam but hadn't really gotten around to playing it until this weekend and then it sucked up all the hours.
Started with a Knight as I am not great with these games - patience is not one of my virtues. First 5 bosses down (Last Giant, Dragonrider, Old Dragonslayer, Flexile Sentry and FINALLY Pursuer). I am always so paranoid about upgrading weapons, but finally started upgrading my flame sword. The Drangleic armor was a HUGE help which I combined with the Old Knight's Shield and I can take on a lot more now.
Got invaded a couple of times, both times killed the invader rather easily which was a big difference from the first Dark Souls. I don't think I ever got invaded by someone who I even had a chance of defeating.
So far Bosses seem much easier (except Pursuer - fuck that guy), but I have died a lot more to the "normal" mobs in the game.
Have you tried the internet? It's made out of millions of people missing the point of everything and then getting angry about it
