Currently playing it for the first time. It's a good game, but it's nothing special relative to the other Souls games.What was the idea of making the flasks/vials stack up to 20 and not just have them cap out at like 8 or 10 and have them re-stack automatically after you die anyway?Also, having to go back to the Hunter's dream each time you want to teleport to a new zone is kind of annoying.The setting is also not as breath taking as it is in Elden Ring. It feels more like Dark Souls 3 in that department.Even the boss music is reused on a couple of bosses, although it is a nice to listen to.What do people like more about it, compared to the others?
>>719397416This is one of those mid games you play and then stubbornly defend when it's inevitably outclassed in every conceivable way
>>719397870Yeah, Elden Ring is garbage.
>>719398385exhibit A
>>719397416It's DS3 for retards.
The main game is a miserable experience, honestly. They frontloaded the game with one of the best areas and one of the best bosses, and it's a long while before you reach a peak like that. The DLC is some of the best souls though.
>>719397416>Also, having to go back to the Hunter's dream each time you want to teleport to a new zone is kind of annoying.it's the same thing as Demon's Soulsfuck outta here newfag
>>719397870elden ring is dark souls ii 2 thanks to yui tanimura and it sucks
>>719399720>>719399835>the predecessor of the genre has it, so it must be goodFucking retards.
>>719397870>pre rendered loading screens
>>719400587Damn, Elden Ring looks like THAT?!?
>>719397416crazy how bloodborne specifically got a co-opt by troons and now sits at the top of rankings and ratings, and is considered the most "artful" and "deep" soulsborne.Even though it's pretty much the same shit
>>719404073It's a deadly combo of snoys and trannies. Same goes for Demon's Souls.
>>719397416It absolutely is special to me at least and one of my favorite From games along with Sekiro. BB easily has some of their most interesting weapon designs, with each weapon having a different mode, transform attacks, and just a lot of character in general. The combat was probably one of From's best implementations of "dodge and punish" so far and the ranged gun parries are satisfying. The atmosphere and level design is masterfully done but I guess that kind of thing is subjective and comes down to one's own preference. It was designed more like Demons Souls in regards to healing being consumables and the hunter lamps just being basic checkpoints. They give you 20 max from the start, but enemies constantly drop them and they want you to favor aggression with the rally heal system. Thematically, I think they wanted to have the blood be more like a rationed resource so that's why it's not like estus. Music was top tier, especially "hail the nightmare". In my first BB play-through, I died to the bagman and got sent to the gaol. Slowly wondering out as that track gradually got louder set the mood perfectly and is one of From's best atmospheric moments to me. Bosses were overall well designed and the expansion is From's best one imo. It's not a game a with huge open landscapes like ER but I appreciate the tighter world with all the fat cut out. I still love ER along with all of From's games since the original DeS but BB is one of my favorites. I own multiple platforms, both Sony and Nintendo along with PC as well, so me loving Bloodborne is not some sort of console war nonsense. It's a really good game to me but everyone has their own preferences.
worst Souls game by a country mile>30fps with massive input lag is totally unacceptable in a fast-paced action RPG>huge lack of item variety>huge lack of build variety>no shields and a complete lack of armor and weapon variety>huge lack of magic/pyro/sorc/miracle variety>lack of environmental variety. Way too many dark, dank, gothic labyrinths>PvP is practically nonexistent>items go up in price way too fast and way too high. Killing a boss midgame gives you enough blood echoes for a measly 2 (TWO) sedatives>can't activate lamps as a checkpoint or use it to respawn enemies>have to fast travel twice instead of just being able to fast travel directly from lamp to lamp>a lot of shortcuts still require 2-3+ minutes of continuous sprinting to get to the boss>some cheap and just overall annoying mechanics (frenzy ohkoes you unless you have 30+ vit and full health, and even with tons of frenzy res, you have to spam sedatives)>a lot of bosses are just too weak and underwhelming>sometimes killing a boss (amelia, BSB, etc.) arbitrarily opens a door halfway across the world with absolutely no indication that a pathway was opened at all, let alone where >multiple enemies are reused multiple times with just higher HP pools. Overall lack of enemy variety as well>chromatic aberration>chalice dungeons are repetitive and uninspired>whole game has serious balance issues that I never had with Souls. Some grunt enemies do arbitrarily high amounts of damage, while big, slow guys in the same area do less than the smaller grunt enemies. Tough enemies drop few blood echoes, while easy enemies drop loads. Seems to be bizarro balancing all across the game and especially in chalice dungeons
Faggots consider it special because not everyone can play it due to it being a console exclusive.
>>719404547t. the fox and the grapes bitter pc vegan
Some of Bloodborne's structure lends itself to Demon's Souls again, especially with the mentioned "return to the Hunter's Dream a lot" bit (return to the Nexus a lot) and the needing to farm consumable heals (moon grasses)
It's a shitty version of DS3 but they all play the same so there's nothing special about any of them.
>>719397416>it's nothing special relative to the other Souls games.It only has the best setting and concept compared to the rest of FromSoft soulslike (Sekiro isnt a soulslike tho).
>>719404623Nostalgia and contrarianism aside, do people honestly prefer this over the way other Souls games do it?
>>719404814Not really, hence Bloodborne never sold well enough that Sony paid any particular special attention to it and Demon's Souls' remake ended up as a fart in the wind (quite probably in large part from canceling a PC port after the "whoopsie!" of announcing it for PC when it was revealed)
>>719397416Bloodborne and Fromsoftware in general is crap. I have finished Bloodborne 2 or 3 times, i think? The difficulty in Bloodborne is bad, leveling up your health is pretty pointless since later in the game you get hit for such a large amount you might as well not level up your health.
Play the better version that released a couple of years ago. Bloodborne is too busted to play and ugly to enjoy.
>>719404414Lest demented Fromcultist troon.
>>719405150I'm not a "cultist", I just like videogames. If you don't like their games then that's fine but I just wanted to post why I liked the game.
>>719397870Yeah I agree with everything you said about the picture you attached. Not sure with what that has to do with Bloodborne though
Trannies overrate shit games and are a loud minority who are chronically online. Bloodborne is one of those games that you don't see anyone liking outside tranny circles.
>>719405150Impressive how quickly "cultist" got ran into the ground as an insult on /v/ and now it means literally nothingTo say nothing of "troon", nobody using it knows it was supposed to be "I am a transsexual Something Awful user" after the sharty and Kiwi Farms adopted it and turned it into insult gibberish
It's a masterpiece.
>>719405513>the troon lashes as he is called outWhy don't you spend all that time in therapy instead of grooming kids on discord or over hyping absolute dogshit games?
>Hard but fairAAACK
>>719405150>anon writes a positive post about his experiences with a game he enjoys>buzzword spewing mouthbreather immediately jumps in to insult himsuck a knife, dude
Bloodborne was the point where Fromsoft stop giving a shit about quality and started pushing slop out year by year.
>>719405515Why are these games so ugly? Where is the contrast in color? Why is it always foggy/blurry trash in these screenshots?
>>719397416Trannyborne lol
Why are Midborne fans like this?
>>719406417100% of Bloodbornetroons are men who think they are women and groom kids.
I dropped this game because it is too ugly to look at. There's a reason why it flopped like Concord.
Bloodborne came out before DS3 and is pretty much the first modern fromslopper. It was a watershed moment from DS2 to BB but since then it's been more of a gradual refinement leading to ER. So even if it feels old now it feels a lot less old than the FROM games just prior to it.
>>719397416Recently played it for the first time and I loved it. As someone who usually plays the Souls games more defensively I liked how much it rewards being aggressive. I agree on the vials though. All it does is make it so that if you're having a particularly rough time with a boss you'll need to go somewhere else to farm. I'm sure even the devs realized the system was flawed since sometimes they'd have some easy enemy before a boss that drops a few vials as a fail safe. I also wish they were more magic options, it seems a lot of them are only in the late game areas.
DS1>>>>>>>>>>>>the restWho the hell cares since they all play the same. Somehow they got worse over time and aged horribly. No Demon's Souls doesn't count since it's a snoy meme too.
>>719407068Least delusional DS1 faggot
>>719397416It came out 10 years ago. No shit, if I was playing call of duty 4 modern warfare in 2017 I wouldn't be blown away either.
>>719406247It's London.
Why even play Bloodborne when Sekino exists?It does the whole fast pace "Souls" experience much better than it, and it's also actually different from the usual Souls gamesI swear people who keep saying that Bloodborne is le different have a collective IQ of 50Being able to dash and having a weapon with a slightly more varied moveset still isn't enough to differentiate it from the classic Souls formula
>>719407680japan is gay
>>719407389DS1 is the only tolerable one out of the batch and I don't like souls games.
>>719407680Because they're different games and they're both enjoyable.
>>719407680And it also has a much more consistent and interesting bosses roster compared to Bloodborne which was quite pathetic before it had its DLCGimmick boss upon gimmick boss for 3/4rd of your playthrough where you can't exploit the combat system fullyPlus Folding Screen Monkeys is literally the best gimmick boss From ever did
>>719407924Sekiro is 100 times better.
>>719397416It's no masterpiece
Sekiro>DS1>DS3>ER>DeS>DS2>BB
>>719404414This is what having no taste looks like.
>>719408373I have taste, I'm just not a tribal faggot that pledges his alliance to one game only. I like many games and yes, Bloodborne was very good.
The gameplay is okay, it's hard carried by art direction DESU and still to this date has some of From's most detailed work.
>>719407680i don't care about samurai shit, sorry
>>719407767>>719409117t. got assraped by chained ogre
>>719409187>t. can't read
It aged like shit after DS3.
/v/ is pretty much unusable now.
