I just got this game yesterday. It really is difficult; expect to die often. Part of the frustration in the game is that you need "souls" for just about everything, it's like the in-game currency. They're easy to obtain and collect, but they're also just as easy (if not easier to lose).
Combat is quite challenging since everything you do takes away energy. You'll have to manage that besides attacking, defending and evading. The parry -> riposte gets to be an extremely integral part of survival even just ten minutes into the game. Or at least, it does with the Thief class.
It's true, it is addicting. I found myself going back to the console about 10 minutes after I turned it off.
