Tell me /v/, what is it with this game?
BloodBorne is a decent Souls game that is hailed as the most perfect game ever on this board.
After some time I finally got around to playing the game while keeping an open mind about it, I wasn't that impressed.
Don't get me wrong it's not a bad game, the performance on the PS4 though and the second half of the game (chalice dungeons etc.) keep it from being even close to a masterpiece.
Why is it that people still talk about this game? Are they all just trolls trying to rile up XBox and PC players or do PS4 people actually have low standards?

I just recently got a PS4 and played it and thought it was great. masterpiece no, but one of the best games I've played that has released in the past handful of years.
I do think it is blown out of proportion by a lot of people, whether it be people saying it's complete shit or the second coming of jesus.
>>384249752
This game really is that good, especially coming after Dark Souls 2. Miyazaki is always at his best with new IPs and this absolutely delivered
>>384249752
Never played it or any souls games, but a lot of it is due to it being exclusive.
It sold ok/badly and doesn't seem to have stayed too popular with people outside of v.
It probably is good though.
ITT: your gaming sins
post them and you'll be absolved, no matter bad they are
I'll start:
>I always play Strategy games on Easy difficulty because I'm shit at micro and get rekt by AI easily unless I turtle for 30 minutes and build up my army
TBS is up to your speed and they're better simply because they're not dead.
I never craft or do mage shit in rpgs
>>384250673
That's not a sin, crafting is immensely boring 99% of the time.
Game companies are getting pretty desperate for digital pre-orders.
Damn where do I sign up?
>>384249641
Xbox One. Desperate times for publishers trying to sell games on a system nobody seems to play.
Why digital console games the same price as new physical discs?

Because retailers don't want to lower their prices to compete with digital storefronts and threaten publishers with not stocking their games if they try that, and retail sales are still too significant a part of the market to lose.
>we can reduce the price to match what it costs us
vs
>we can milk those fucking retarded moneybags more and they'll be happy to be milked
i sure wonder. really fires up my frontal neurons.
Any tips or tricks? Just started playing this in anticipation of Shadow of War.
>>384249465
>Tips or tricks
Not really. The game is pretty straightforward.
You'll become OP halfway through the game. Besides that it's a fun orc slayer and the nemesis system makes for an interesting setting.
>tips & tricks for a video game produced after 2007
I dunno, just press a direction on the joystick I guess.
>>384249594
>straightforward
I can't count how many times I've started and stopped playing this game. I should stop buying open world games but SoM is good fun in short bursts, hunting down Orcs, setting up ambushes. In at least a year of ownership I've only just met Gollum.
>>384249465
Try and gimp yourself ability wise, I spent a long time playing without the health upgrades because the game can get very easy, and it makes the "boss" fights more entertaining.
Now that we look back, was the gameplay really that bad?
Can we talk about how awesome onion bro is for a sec?

Why are healers in xiv so fucking pissy all the time? Literally every last one I met has either been:
>uppity entitled bitchy "im the only one keeping you alive/oh guess what? No heals for you"
>screams at me and party to get the fuck out of aoe
>blamed tanks for everything
>talk shit to new players who don't know shit
Is it just my god damn imagination?
>>384248967
that just healer in general
they are either passive retards who say nothing meaningful, or passive aggressive fucks who blog about his "unthanksful" role at every turn.
>>384249139
>his
On my part its always the girl in our groups, irl
I won't say it's every single one of them but there sure do seem to be a lot of them. Really makes you think.

Not scary anymore.
>Claustrophobia: The Game
I'm really trying to give this game a chance since half of the people that shit on the game probably didn't play it, but I need to vent. The way the early part of the game is designed is disgusting. The enemies soak damage and are notably more aggressive than in DS1; I'm ok with that. What really makes my dick bleed is the fact that nearly every encounter before the second part of No Man's Wharf takes place on a platform surrounded by a pitfall. This is gay as shit, because it makes the beginning of the game a chore for magic users (speaking as someone who went with soul arrow). The game feels like it wants you to be in the enemy's face at all time which takes the fun out of non-tanky/high stam builds at the start. I swear, I've died more times trying to get some breathing distance than I have actually getting killed by an encounter. Does this shit get better? I'm ok with the aggressive mobs, and the high health enemies, but the level design in this game so far is lame as fuck.
>>384248629
Play Dark souls 1 or 3, they are way better.
>>384248629
>but the level design in this game so far is lame as fuck.
lol it's designed to help you deal with the ambushes. get gud my friend

useless post kys

Put ~250 hours into DaS and ~100 into DeS. Just haven't felt like playing DaS3
>>384248813
I'd accept that if I were dying to enemies over hazards. Like, totally-not-undead-burg handled ambushes right. I also like how NMW ambushes are after the bridge area.
