Utterly Mad

I am replaying the first dark souls game. Compared to bloodborne it is so easy I am practically gliding through it.

Is it easier? Or is it just that you've gotten better? There's also the bit where you are replaying it, you know where everything is. The surprises are gone.
I have the same issue with monster hunter. The old games seemed so much harder, It would take the full time limit of a mission to fight a monster. Now though, I can beat almost anything in less than ten minutes with the weakest weapons and no armor.
