Isn't dark souls an extremely hard game from a couple years ago? I gave it a try but it was very difficult to go through
Yep, it's kind of hard. But the game is great because it rewards you for being good. There is no difficulty settings there and you have to play properly to make anything in it.
At the begining the first fights are extremely hard, you might end up getting killed every 5 mins ir even sooner, but then after a while you get used to the mechanics and become more comfortable so it gets much easier and you can advance.
Anyway, I like the game because it's something more challenging then most of the games targeted to the least skilled retards in the gaming industry.
