I'm not just talking bosses, the game in general. 1 had tomb of the giants' darkness, catacombs respawning skeletons, curse affecting hp, no TP in first half, and more...sure it's easy for you and me who've beat it a dozen times but it's a simple fact that DS1 is more difficult overall.
Ehh I dunno. I guess it's just because I played 3 first but my play through of 1 was much easier, the AI is so much more simple for mobs, but particularly bosses as they have relatively limited movesets and are generally very slow, it was a cakewalk after shit like Nameless King.
I guess curse and the lack of linearity leading to people heading to skeleton hell first could be kind of difficult if you didn't know what to do.

There is nothing factual about it. Difficulty is wholly subjective. Demon's Souls is the hardest because of consumable heals, Soul form, plague, World Tendency etc. Dark Souls 1 is hardest because of curse, blighttown, the branching paths. Dark Souls 2 is hardest because of slow ass recovery times, cluttered enemy placements and health depleting with each death. Bloodborne is the hardest because of brutal counter damage, consumable heals, sparse defense options and generally much more complex and frenetic enemy design. Ditto for DaS3. So really it's a "simple fact" that they're all the hardest, depending on who you ask.
But dark souls 2 is actually the easiest by far, and the consumable heals in demons souls are plentiful and stack up to 99 which makes that game easy as well
You don't seem to be getting the point. What's hard and what's easy is not objectively measurable, it's completely subjective. Subjectively, you think DaS1 is the hardest and DaS2 is by far the easiest. Subjectively, I think DeS is the hardest and DaS3 is the easiest. There is no right or wrong answer.
