  Never had any trouble with the babes (Orn+Smough) tbh. Only took like 2-5 time to beat them. I died A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT more in Demon's Souls.

  
  
  You should try revisiting demon's souls. For me it was harder in memory than in actuality. Demon's souls is still my favorite though.

  I thought the new DK was way harder than the first, on Demon's Souls' level.

  
  
  Too many waypoints and too few invasions in NG. Some bosses really need some accustoment though. There are some relatively difficult places like the arena fight in Harvest Valley, but overall mobs are very managable. I had a far harder time with Undead Burg than any DS2 region I've been toyet, which is as far as early Black Gulch and through Shaded Ruins.
  
  I didn't play Demons, so I dunno, but I find DS1 definitely harder than DS2.

  Its a fun game, until players drop into your world and start killing you.

  I have been bored lately and I wanted to play a challenging game. I have done everything in Skyrim and it's too easy I wanted something more challenging.
  
  
  Should I get Dark Souls II? If any of you have it tell me your opinion on it.

  
  
  I'd say skip the PC version, and get console version because the port is pretty bad especially the control scheme.
  
  If you enjoy challenging game on PC, I would recommend XCOM-Enemy Within.

  The PC version is perfectly fine with controller and definitely superior to console. It is pretty terrible with keyboard and mouse though. They took one step forward and two steps back in that department when compared to the first game.

  I would disagree. Ornstein and Smough death count: Probably over 100 just on NG. Highest death total on Dark Souls 2 bosses: 4. Of course its preference. Just beat it tonight, amazing ass game. You will not regret it unless you arent good at the game.

  
  
  I died a lot to pre nerf Smelter Demon

  There are mods to fix the PC controls and the performance problems. DSfix and DSMfix make the game playable without a controller, but it's still recommended.

  I was pure melee so it was a pain.

  Dark Souls 2 is not a bad port, and the m/kb controls are better than the first game

  That's for Dark Souls 1, not 2.
  Dark Souls does not need anything optional so you can get a normal experience.

  The mouse controls are better but the key settings are shit. Due to that using jumping attacks and shield breakers is completely random.
  
  Too bad the 360 controller is a load of rubbish too, otherwise I'd have switched to that.
  
  
  Also today I happened upon two hackers during jolly cooperation. They gave me lots of stuff. I deleted the gear, but kept the silkies and effigies. Now I got three old whips and two chaneller's tridents...
