I have an Xbox 360, and I'm looking for a game with amazing boss fights, that are really fun and challenging. Shadow of the Colossus is out of the question, and it seems that the only 360 game that is going to offer this type of experience is Dark Souls. However I am a bit hesitant about getting it because of the things I have heard about Darks Souls and its predecessor Demon Souls. Both games are supposed to be very hard, and tell you little about how you are supposed to deal with an enemy, you die a lot and potentially lose a lot of progress with each death. It especially the last part that makes me nervous. I don't want a game that will constantly punish me to the point that I will end up hatting the game. I won't mind if I have to play parts over again as long as I find them fun though.

Am I better off looking somewhere else, or should I get Dark Souls?
