I eyed upDemon’s Souls,tempted.

It’s so hard that I just don’t have the patience for it, and I know it.
It’s Okay Not To Be Challenged
I’ve been gaming for about 30 years now.

Games have changed since then.
Demon’s Soulsisn’t like that.
It’s known to be unrelentingly hard.

I want to love that concept.
Life has its own challenges.
You probably feel like that too sometimes.
Your Spare Time Is Precious
Spare time is limited for many of us.
There’s always a lot going on, right?
Demon’s Soulsworks on the basis of pattern recognition.
Kind of like howSpace Invadersand other ’80s arcade classics depended on you memorizing how things played out.
To succeed at it, you oughta devote many hours to learning the patterns and react accordingly.
There’s simply too much to focus on and too little time.
Demon’s Soulsalmost had an easy mode included,according to the developer, Bluepoint.
At least, not with such vitriol.
If you have friends who game, they may well be encouraging you to stick withDemon’s Souls.
It’s okay for you to feel that way, too.
There are plenty of other games out there to keep us all happy.
You dont have to justify yourself to others about how you wish to spend your time.
Go play a quick 10 minute mission inSpider-Man: Miles Moralesinsteadits a ton of fun.
