Is anyone going to watch my 49 minutes video critique of Bloodborne?
I would! Unless it was just "IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOO...." [45 minutes later] "...OOOOOOOOOO BAD!" |

The only thing I will agree with is that Ludwig's Holy Blade is ridiculously good and makes stuff like the saw cleaver pointless. The saw cleaver just does mildly more damage than Ludwig's silver sword, but with Ludwigs you can switch from a heavy two-hander that hitstuns larger enemies like the asshole guys with the bags, or a one-hander that does alright damage and lets you use your gun. Basically it's all you need.

Is there a single reason to play NG+? I beat three bosses and didn't see anything new, other than the weapon you get at the end of a normal game.
This is the argument for it being the weakest game in the series. There is no depth at all.

Enjoying this game as I get further into it. Currently up to Cainhurst (flea men are bullshit), Byrgenwerth (spiders are bullshit), and the Nightmare Frontier (rock throwers are bullshit). These three zones definitely feel more un-fun than the others before due to how bullshit rock throwers and flea men are, but I guess it will pass. I definitely enjoyed the game the most as it opened up post-Gasgoine.
Now all they need to to is make a game with these mechanics, and Diablo's itemization, and we'd be golden.

"An action RPG that basically is Dark Souls but isn't called Dark Souls to trick people who hate Dark Souls into trying out Dark Souls". ** BEWARE - FULL OF SPOILERS ** Bloodborne - Honest Trailer |

You're really gonna love Nightmare of Mensis. Your rock throwers plus extreme bullshit advanced werewolves that shit out snakes when they die. Will make you look back with nostalgia on the "flea men." |

From what people are saying aside from some lore and a bit of technical stuff like frame data, damage modifiers, and Beasthood stats, and confirmation that a couple of the items that had no discernible use don't actually have any use, it doesn't sound like there's anything in the guide that hadn't already been discovered.

Incoming DLC. Or "expansion" as we used to call them, and they are too. Anyway, it looks amazing.

I couldn't get past the circa-2005 character graphics in the character creator.

Bloodborne is good.

Yeah, see, that's the thing. It's good. It's not great. There are just too many things out there vying for my attention in this day and age, good no longer cuts it.

I've decided Demon's Souls ruined games for me.
Hopefully Fallout 4 solves that problem.
But I've finished precisely fuckall since DS came out.

I'm hard pushed to think of better than Bloodborne right now, apart from Witcher 3. I'm not even a huge fan of the genre but that game is just so well designed and put together. |

How so? FO as none of the gameplay value of DS. I mean, they're shooters, for one. I don't know if the RPG elements will be closer to NV or Skyrim, but you better hope it's not the latter. The best thing about these games is the environment/emergence. Something DS lacks...but makes up for in every other way. Anyways.. Bloodborne. I don't have a PS4. Looking for things that make it worthwhile. Is this it? |

I would also say it is great. Best Soulsy game since Demon's Souls. I wasn't overfond of Dark Souls 1/2. |

To me it's the opposite as I still prefer the Dark Souls to Bloodborne (and Demon's Souls more than all of them), but Bloodborne is still a great -not just good- game.
We live in an era where all major releases suck, and it's gotten harder and harder to agree on what is 'fun' as we all find solace in random and often minor things. In this bleak scenario, Bloodborne is still the best thing to come out in 2015 except maybe Metal Gear V.

I've only discovered two somewhat-distinct playstyles in Bloodborne. I chose one which doesn't seem very effective.

Screw it. I have all kinds of action games to play, but I get a jonesing for any AAA RPG. Hopefully it's not complete shit like DAI. I can deal with it being so-so like FO3. |
