The game is hard but not impossible and it never feels cheap. If you are stuck just sumon other players and look for guides and walkthroughs online. It makes the game much easier.
@alkusanagi: The blacksmith is gone, but you can find others latter in the game. You can get through the catacombs by rushing past the ghosts and killing the guys summoning them. It can be tricky but that's the way i did it.
I think your problem is the weapon you are using, not so much your stats. Try getting the Drake sword (get under the bridge where the dragon is and shoot it's tail with arrows about 20+ hits, you can find guides online), or upgrade your weapon, and get a better shield. The same thing happened to me a bit later on the game. I had to get a better weapon and things went smooooothly after that (as smooth as they can go in a game like this).
@beaudacious: This game isn't for everyone, the game is design to F*** you up! Ghosts that you can't hit, disguised enemies, evil lava, creatures that curse you and reduce half your health PERMANENTLY (until you get uncursed), bosses that can kill you with one hit, ambushes... The difficulty isn't cheap, if you die it's because you messed up. The way you build your character, what items you equip and upgrade, and the way you aproach enemies is key to succeding. This is not a button mashing game where you are supper agille and can bash your way through. Batman is an action beet em up game, Dark Souls is an action medieval fantasy survival horror RPG game =P This game is probably not for you, if you give it a chance it might grow up on you, or you'll end up hating it even more.
If you like hard games with super slick controls you might enjoy Devil May Cry 1 and 3 (Don't go near the new shit)
