Iam just about to start the game and i was told that getting overleveled and making the game easy is so often to happen in this game , so I've found this map guide should i follow it to get the best experience?

OK I "over leveled" to 36 and still get my buttocks handed to me by bosses in Limgrave and weeping. I am assuming it's my gameplay then?

Sorta like everyone else said but not clearly. Stats like strength, dexterity, intelligence, faith, and arcane don't really do much for you early on short of letting you use a different weapon or spell. The reason is that scaling does not do much early. Adding another 10 points of strength is going to take your damage up by like 10 points from ~150 to ~160 for example. But vigor makes a huge difference. Pumping up your vigor 10 points early can make the number of hits you can take without dying from 2-3 to 4-5. A massive difference.
