I was like that until I played Bloodborne and just bashed my head against the wall and grinded through the first boss (who was extremely difficult). Afterwards the game "clicks," and you get used to the difficulty. Then it becomes a rewarding experience.

I consider the original Dark Souls as one of the best video games ever made (I quit the first time I played it on Ps3). I played it again after playing Bloodborne, DS2, and DS3. And it aged very well. Sure, some parts are clunky, and it is missing some quality of life features found in later games. But it's a classic.
