It takes me like two tries to clear a boss, whereas it took me about a week to beat Ornstein and Smough.

I still can't clear half of the bosses in the original. They're quite objectively, far more difficult. That is because they actually have different attacks.

The sissies in Dark Souls II have variations of swinging their fists or blunt weapons as 90% of their move pool. That is not creative and it is not difficult.

I've just beaten the dual Dragonriders and I'm wondering when Dark Souls II is going to actually be difficult. I'm not even doing a very good job.
