Demon's Souls is actually hard. By that I mean, I only really find the minor platforming hard in Dark Souls such as Sen's Fortress and navigating that invisible bridge if you don't know about it when pursuing Seath. Dark Souls is hard, but once you know the strategies, and you have a play-style that you're good at (Magic/Swift Pikesman) then you are mostly fine and you shouldn't die thousands of times, let alone more than a 100 or so. Demon's Souls is vicious though and the last boss which inspires a few bosses in Dark Souls is a pain in my opinion. >_> so much hate.
