A "hard but fair game", on the other hand, is great. Dark Souls has extremely good gameplay, which is why it can be hard and fair. Sure, it's hard to explain that on the back of the box! But any reviewer or journalist who fails to get that point across, in my opinion, failed to review the game properly.
The reason I ever picked up Demon's Souls Day 1, to begin with, was precisely that IGN properly explained that the game was hard but fair; that every death was avoidable and your fault. That's why I jumped on board! If they'd only said "The game is hard" I might never have picked it up.
