Yeah, this is kind of a no-brainer. If you're not willing to commit an enormous amount of effort, you won't succeed or enjoy yourself. I just sank 80 hours into the thing, and I hardly think I've mastered it.
Still, a 5 is pretty harsh IMO. The fact that Justin didn't like it wasn't due to it being a bad, game, just that he does not enjoy this kind of experience. I do agree that a good amount of game mechanics in Souls games are obscured and unexplained, making it all too easy for newcomers to go completely wrong.
