I barely played DS1 but found not being able to pause to be an instant turn-off. I expected hard from the game and series, but I didn't expect it to be tense in like the scary sense and I have a low threshold for that in video games. Not being able to pause to minimize that feeling was too much and I think it's a weird design choice anyway, so I dropped out of it early.

Dark Souls is cool to many people! Just not gonna be a game for me. I recommend trying it on sale sometime to see if it's your speed or not -- seen plenty of parents enjoy the series too.
