Why is Bloodborne so overrated? It's not better than the trilogy preceding it. Is it because of the casualization, just mashing buttons like a hack & slash and lack of builds?

literally and unironically the best game of all time and is the prime case for videogames as art
holy cringe and zoomerpilled
Game is shit.
>hit boxes are moronic
>blood vial farm
>some of the worst boss designs i've seen
Definitely 2nd worst fromSoftware game after Demon Souls
>Keeps getting hit
>Needs to stab himself with vials 24/7 despite Rally being a mechanic
>The best dodge in the brand next to Sekiro
If you need to constantly farm vials, you're doing something wrong. The game shits them out all the time.
>The best dodge in the brand next to Sekiro
You guys are aware side stepping and rolling(even compared to DaS dodges) has the exact i-frames right? It's just an aesthetic difference. Side stepping also covers less distance and maybe a little bit faster but that's it. Rolling and side-stepping feels same to me.
Skill issue
I agree Sekiro is probably the best. But I didn't even need to farm herbs in Demon Souls 1 and I thought it was a shit game.
As for bloodborne
>The best dodge in the brand next to Sekiro
What a load of bullshit. There are still adds and bosses where the doge does not even work.
Stop protecting your garbage as game that has problems. I'll only give you a pass for the story
The dodge works wonderfully. You just suck.
No it doesn't. I haven't even got to the stunlocking argument when you get into a group of adds.
The dodging is an absolute joke.
You're just showing how much you suck at it
I don't. I've played all FromSoftware games without any issues. Then jumped to this game and ran into a lot of bullshit
vial farm
Stops being an issue after the first level in the game

Bloodborne is probably the worst of the Souls-like games.
BB takes a lot of story from Demon's because originally it was DeSII. The conceit of losing your humanity and turning into a monster is part and parcel of Demon's whole point. Because guess what guys? Demon's and BB have the same ending. You replace the old boss and become the new boss. They only added an obscure mechanic in order to obfuscate who the real boss was.
Are you still mad about this?
IT SHOULD BE USABLE, WHAT THE FRICK WERE THEY THINKING JUST MOCKING ME, AND WHY ISN'T THERE ARMOR SETS?
How about you start being a good plank and begin to man up instead, you shield-loving homosexual.
Console war shit. I think it was one of the first ps3 exclusives so it introduced a lot of players to souls games and most of them wanted to feel superior for their purchase and thus proclaim it is the best one.
Bloodborne enjoyers want the masterpiece on PC more than anyone so we can improve the latency and fps
>Bloodborne enjoyers want the masterpiece to be patched for PS4 Pro/PS5 more than anyone so we can improve the latency and fps
?? homosexual
This. I would love to replay it on PC at a better framerate. Plus I could do things like cheat in bloodstone and just frick around with all weapons or get a modem that let's me fight the unique Chalice dungeon bosses without slogging through that shit.
>so we can improve the latency
thousands of hours played bloodborne on a base ps4 and not once have I thought "hmm this needs lower input lag"
It's just that good.
Because it’s the elusive one
It’s the only souls FromSoft game that isn’t on PC
its the second best fromsoft game after dark souls but man is it lacking
i probably have like 250 hours on BB in the last year but jeez, fromsoft just put lightning in a bottle with DS and have never been able to recapture it
ds3 is so fricking bad lmao
It's unironically better than Dark Souls, Anon. I can tell Prepare to Die was your bandwagon into the series.
I played dark souls on Xbox 360 without internet in the winter of 2011, cope and seethe
I played BB for the first time last yera and completed DS3 for the first time last year after being unable to finish it on release because of how fricking unfun it was
havent played ER because not going to download win10 and it looks so genuinely tedious and unfun I don't wana even borrow my gf's ps4 to play it like I did bloodborne
I played through BB on three characters with three builds, did all the chalice dungeons and got to queen Yarnham, I can speak on it all I want
it has a lot of shitty game systems like having to farm bullets and blood vials as opposed to just respawning with them like estus, early game can be trivialized with press r1 and rally, I beat cleric beast by literally transforming my axe and mashing r1 til it died without dodging anything
the game does such a bad job of teaching you its own mechanics in central yarnham i didnt really 'know' how to play the game until around amelia, I just brute forced gascoigne and cleric beast with rally or dodging
it's also just generally lacking in lack of playstyles
weapons are really scarce and your magic is tied to a few shitty items, I would really like there to have at least been an arcane gun that can parry and is just a little potshot cantrip
no reason blacksky eye couldnt be a gun for example
EVERYTHING is super casualized all the weapons scale with evry stat half the time and the lack of upgrade paths being replaced with gems meaning that you dont have to actually find or spend resources on upgrade mats really, and you'll get all the gme souy need to play the base game/dlc from just beating enemies and exploring so why even bother with the system when its usually just flat upgrading damage up
>error: field too long
hol up
>I don't wana even borrow my gf's ps4
fricking kys
what type of incel are you to pick that statement out
>consolebab mad that someone doesn't own a PS4 for literally 1 [one] game
>neverhadagf seething at the mention of women
>ERgay mad I dont want to play the game
I kneel to my predecessor, DeSfren
I didn't know about souls games when I still owned a ps3 and obviously don't have a ps5
if I can snipe a ps3 for under 100$ on ebay I will buy DeS and give it a go since I've been meaning to for literally over 11 years now
I understand enough through osmosis that DeS and DaS are vastly vastly different games, and I can't actually rate anything about DeS without playing it, other than that I can say it looks like another fun slow calculated slogfest like DaS just without the interconnected world [probably the strongest point of DaS's an BB's superiority over everything else tbh]
I like you, fren
>Dark Souls was my first game
And it shows. People praise it way more than it deserves because it is unironically baby's first Souls game despite being unfinished and already doling out training wheel mechanics.
Demons is dogshit compared to holy souls 1
There being an arcane scaling gun would be fricking insane. Arcane would be so OP. I already love arcane builts but that would be the cherry on the top. Otherwise they are pure parry tools with no damage.
just make arcane not fricking scale to 99?
balance the tools to softcap at 50 like everything else and make blacksky eye a gun
there are bloodtinge guns that do assloads of damage, why can't arcane have one
So now the spells are shit? The whole reason why they are good is because they keep scaling since there's no casting tools. Using them at lower levels feels like garbage in my experience.
There would be no reason to go bloodtinge would be my point, aside from the bloodtinge specific weapons which are outclassed by quality builds anyway.
make them scale better? make them reach their level~70 damage at level 50 and make th em scale like shit past it, just like every other stat
you are moronic
>there's no reason to go bloodtinge
if youre not going quality you can literally rush your main stat to softcap and just start dumping in bloodtinge for repeating pistol/evelyn damage
There's no reason to go bloodtinge if you just removed the only negative arcane builds have. Glad you weren't in charge of balance.
the reason is
because you want to use the weapons and guns
woah, holy frick
are you a pvptard or something that you can only think about muh damage output muddafugga
It would break pve balance too though
Arcane can still use guns for parries
Decent but I'd swap 2 and 3
moronic tier.
Demon Souls and Blood borne should be at least C. Dark Souls 2 and DS1 could be placed higher
DS is better than the sum of it‘s parts. It succeeds as a gesamtkunstwerk. It understands you need to tell an adventure with an arc, hence why you descend to quelaags layer and instead of teleporting you have to walk all the way up and through sens to anor londo.
It understands soul. Characters like andre aren‘t just placed at firelink to be tped to whenever you feel like it. They have their own distinct place in the world that isn‘t always accessible which makes it a real treat anytime you see them.
Good post. DS is definitely the peak of the franchise so far.
My first Souls game was Dark Souls 2 and I still think DS1 is the best. Alongside DeS.
It's really not. It does the whole ''action Souls'' thing better than DS3 and ER combined.
I like the game but after you stop fighting beasts around the beginning, it really takes a dip in quality.
most fun fights are all the small fast humanoids tho, fighting big beast monsters in this game is literally the least fun
Orphan, Gehrman, and Pthumerian Descendeant are SOVL and really fun
Darkbeasts, watchdog of the old lords, the one reborn, Laurence, all fricking dogshit unfun slogs fights
When I refer to beasts talking about the early game transformed people fights. Ludwig was probably my favorite fight of the game. I thought Gehrman was kino, and I guess I'm the only person who thought the Lady Maria fight was really fricking boring and stupid.
why bother the gem system to change my weapon to bolt dmg when I could just put a lightning infuse instead, it's bloat and complexity for the sake of difference
fast travel unlocked from the start but ONLY to the hub and back out, no selected warping, meaning you have to sit through load screens upon load screens to do anything besides just run from area to area, this includes getting items out of your storage because most of them just don't restock themselves from your overstock, because they just don't. except the ones that do, because consistency is unnecessaryThe game is fun, the setting and atmosphere are masterclass, but it could be better, much better.. 8/10 would play again, second best game after ds1
Maria's fight was 'tense' because she does damage and has flashy combos to surprise you your first few attempts but she can be parried easily and I find her to be just kinda 'there' like amelia or bsb or something, a roadblock to a much better fight past her
gehrman was very fun to fight tho, because how much he dashes around and swaps weapon stances and shoots you, it literally was the closest any fromsoft game i've come to fighting my 'clone', his playstyle was so similar to mine despite our weapons being so different my first playthrough, he shot when I would try to shoot or would've thought to, he rushes in when I make distance, he does jump attacks when I'm being wienery
he's literally me bros.....
fricking thank you, DS1's world crafting is absolute best in show, the GOTYAY, ds3 'gamified' it too much, it was just a fast dark souls because zoom zoom big sword slash fun dodge roll pow, DS3 was playing dark souls on bloodborne's speed, when all the engagement in dark souls comes from the slow methodical playstyle of learning the enemies and the world, the loopingback on itself is litearlly what makes the world feel so alive and fleshed out
Maria didn't really elicit any strong feelings character wise. The fight I thought was pretty easy with parrying, when she started floating in the air surrounded by blood it really jumped the shark. I died just because me and my older brother were laughing our asses off. Orphan and Ludwig carried the DLC in my opinion.
Also, Mohg is just a better version of her fight.
Playstation exclusive.
>Is it because of the casualization
it's harder than any of the Souls games
>just mashing buttons like a hack & slash
clearly you've never played it if you think this is how the combat works
>and lack of builds?
really when you think about it the builds are just the same as dark souls but more refined and the trick weapons blow away any of the weapons in Dark Souls
obvious jealous PCisraelite thread is obvious
seethe
cope
dilate
>It's harder than any souls
How? The quick step is an insanely good form of dodge and you have rally, parrying with the gun is also far easier than parrying with a shield. The only thing BB has over souls is arguably Orphan who is very difficult but there's Souls/ER bosses that could be considered harder.
>harder than any of the Souls games
Literally two of the starting weapons are fricking over powered what are you talking about?
>overrated
Stopped reading there, that word is completely devoid of all meaning and isn’t an actual criticism or valid argument
It has meaning because the human collective happily puts it above the 3 dark souls games that came before it, so they are rating it higher than something.
It's 2023 homie how do you still not have a PS4?
The chalice dungeon just killed my interest I think. I was swiftly progressing now that I work my memory, got Ludwig holy sword, felt queen of the world.
Then killed a giant boss inside the Chalice dungeon and it turned out there's still 4 floors more and I got stuck, dropped it.
Its rated correctly. Its the best souls game after the DS1
zoomers and morons still seething over Bloodborne 8 years after its release how did Miyazaki do it bros?
Oh nooooooo
man, I wish DaS2 didn't play like a shitjank capcom action game from the 2000s
if it ran like DS1 i think it would be a very firm 3rd place for from games, leagues ahead of ds3's anime bullshit simulator
it has such good fricking lore way better than 3's, a fricking shame it's the worst designed game of them all
I adore Bloodborne, but it's fans think the game is immune to criticism and shit on every other FromSoft game for issues that Bloodborne still has. It's hard to call it overrated since I still think it's one of the best games of all time, but holy shit you aren't allowed to say anything negative about it
It's better than dark souls 1 and that's saying something
>It's not better than the trilogy
It seem like someone didn't play the game and is just talking shit. Very typical of a Gankertard to be contrarian even at the expense of looking like a moron.
I recently finished Elden Ring. How does Bloodborne compare, difficulty-wise? In ER you can grind runes and trivialize all but a couple of fights by overleveling it, not to mention stuff like Mimic Tear and Tiche, builds like magic or bleed one breaking the game, etc. Is the same the case with this game, or is the default difficulty fairly higher?
The difficulty curve is much more consistent throughout
Bloodborne is only difficult because its locked at 27 FPS. Other than that its a garbage easy game
was ER your only fromsoft game? you will weep like a child because your hand is unheld
base bloodborne is a lower level game than the rest tbh. finishing around 75 (give or take 10) was never uncommon.
you can grind souls/echoes and overlevel in all of these games if you want
Now that's a face I haven't seen in years
It starts a little harder, then gets moderately easier than elden ring throughout, it's also more consistent and generally more fair than elden ring.
Aesthetics.
I am 31 and its the only game that has come out in like 15 years that has given me the feeling games did when I was young. People just love it.
thats because it runs like a game from 20 years ago
Holy shit BTFO
You were not even alive 20 years ago homosexual, you don't know how those games ran, shut the frick up.
can't relate, ds1 was the first time i had such a sense of wonder and accomplishment since shadow of the colossus
>yes, i played sotc at 10 years old
>m-muh overrated...
Get a real personality homosexual.
GETSUGAAAA
TENSHOUUUU
>It's not better than the trilogy preceding it
Well I definitely know I can discard your opinion now. Only souls 1 comes close.
I have to say it every Bloodborne thread unfortunately.
