I think Dark Souls 2 should be more like Demon's Souls

[lapan]

If the Dragon God is one shotting you, that is entirely your fault as you haven't raised your vitality and/or endurance enough. For example, my character got hit once or twice, but it only took off half my health. Oh, and his attacks can be avoided. The walkway has pillars at regular intervals that you can shelter behind. Just sprint between those.

I only noticed his eyes changing color after he detects me once friends told me how to do him. Also at first i only hit the pillars once or twice and didnt think it did anything to him so i tried to fight him directly while getting oneshotted.

Was more annoying to me than Bed of Chaos since it was less obvious what to do.
