From a leak, should be official at MS's conference Sunday:

I got into the open world, wondered around aimlessly. Couldn't figure out WTF i was suppose to be doing. Finally found something that looked like i should kill it and then proceeded to get my face kicked in.
Same. Got through the training. Was excited about the game. But first opponent I see in the open world. Basically 1 hit kills me.
I have played some tuff games but damn. Guess I need to try again with the strategy of run and hide. [Reply]
Don't know what Miyazaki was on about saying the optional content bosses of the DLC would be much harder than the mandatory bosses. Bayle, Midra, and Metyr combined took me less than 10 attempts. Messmer was well over 20+ attempts and I've lost track of how many times the final boss has wrecked my shit. [Reply]
Finally beat the final boss. What an awful fight. If that's their new idea of 'difficulty' I'll probably refrain from SoulsBorne in the future. [Reply]
