Dark Souls was worse than Demon's Souls. Dark Souls 2 was worse than Dark Souls.
This looks worse than Dark Souls 2.

Just wait for release day and warily check out /v/ threads or other websites with immediate feedback to see if people are having similar difficulties compared to DeS/DaS/DaSII

When someone who thought DSII was "very challenging" says that Bloodborne feels "very easy" in comparison, that's when it's time to really start panicking..

>>285443467
I read his opinion

>Whilst playing, I found it much easier to dodge attacks, as well as the fact that most attacks did not come close to killing you if not dodged; those attacks that can seem to be so slow that if you pay any real attention, there will be no problem dodging them.

It seems that he thinks Dark Souls was hard because of bad game design (dodging not working 100%/stupid hitboxes). This "Cpt Eccentric" guy sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about. Difficulty doesn't lie in bad game design, it lies in good game design.

"Dodging is too easy" - this doesn't make any sense.

>>285444639
>this doesn't make any sense.

It does if attacks are slow and overly telegraphed.

>>285443467

>The main reason why Dark souls became such a hit was the immense difficulty

So not the interconnecting map, story setting, mood, straight to the point game play without movies, online design, art direction, adventuring, and fair win-lose conditions for progress? Just "muh difficulty"?
And really, Souls game? Difficult? Does he measure "difficulty" in "died like a bitch"?
Can a "souls fan" be any more of a faggot?

I'm the biggest faggot following this game before it was even announced

Here is what you take from this post:
>>285439246


A while back, a few months ago, you faggots remember From Software saying they were still looking for a "penalty for death"?

them saying this now means they couldn't find a penalty for death, or Sony didn't want a penalty for death, so dying might mean you lose your souls and that's all.

nothing like DaS2/DeS where your health would get reduced for dying

that is ALL this article means.


on a personal level, Sony is funding development of this title directly so Yoshida himself probably requested little punishment for death.

>>285439494
You sound like a faggot, OP.

all this means is you don't go "Hollow" when you die and need to do some ridiculous stupid side-task in order to become human and summon people for co-op again

a couple of months before OP, there was this article

>>285446136
I played the demo at gamescom last year, and it sure as fuck wasn't braindead easy. Also it was like the first 20 minutes of the game.

One of the reason DaS2 was bad was because people were just equating the franchise to "muh difficulty" and from capitalized on that instead of the cohesion of the world and level design. And looking at Bloodborne footage, it doesn't seem to be less challenging anyway

>>285439687
DaS is objectively better than DeS gameplay-wise.
BB is shaping out to be better than both of them.

Kings Field and Armored core made them what they are today.

Souls is turning them to shit.

Fuck off, seriously. I'm done with the Souls community defending poor design for the sake of difficulty alone as many did for Dark Souls 2. It's completely asinine, difficulty was never the point of the series. It was just a means to an end and the end was to create climatic moments. I trust Miyazaki to make the game he wants to make. I trust him to make the game challenging but fair enough to give us that sense accomplishment which helps create said moments. The last people on this planet I trust with design decisions are your average Souls fans.

King's Field and Armored Core are both garbage franchises, though.

Every boss is Old Monk

at the end of the game you transform into the boss that killed you the most and go and fight another player and try and stop them from beating your dungeon

The PR has been riding it. But Dark souls was never created with that in mind. It wasn't made to be a "LOL SUPERHARD GAME". It's just a game. People say it's hard but it's really not.

Because Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were both excellent games, directed by Miyazaki. This game is also directed by Miyazaki. Dark Souls II was trash, and not directed by Miyazaki. So yes, I am excited for Bloodborne, a title in a long established, well regarded franchise made by the original director. The same way I'm looking forward to Metal Gear Solid V, a title in a long established, well regarded franchise made by the original director.

Talk to me once you played the demo :^)

I knew this would happen. This is what happens with all developers. The series becomes more popular, and so they have to start catering to the lowest denominator. That's how it works. From was no exception. You guys should have known.

If they were really trying to create a genuinely good game, it wouldn't be a PS4 exclusive and they wouldn't even be considering making the game easier. They're just like every other developer now, in the sense that their games are now always going to be held back by business decisions that they have to make for various reasons.

That does it, I can't take the false claims and bullshots anymore. Fucking dropped.

THEY SAID THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT DS2

IGNORE PC SHITPOSTERS

The reason I like DaS better than DeS and DaS2 is that it doesn't have soul memory or world tendency or non-respawning enemies which apply permanent punishment to poor performance or not knowing what you can't learn in one playthrough. Just a straight up moderate progression loss.

Glad I seen this thread I had a PS4 in my Amazon cart. Fuck this shit

>>285439246

Oh wow, that sure is something. It's too bad they said literally the opposite thing dozens of times in other sources.

There are several times in the IGN videos in which devs say "The level of challenge will be similar to demon souls"

All console exclusivity does is force you to use a specific controller, and it makes you buy a $400 special piece of hardware to play the game. It's fucking stupid.

This article came out in August and has been contradicted by other From statements since. Even then, they said literally the exact same thing about Dark Souls and DaS2 and both were harder than DeS

He said they were skirting the line between disappointing the hardcore and getting it more mainstream.

If that means getting rid of shit that is hard just for the sake of being hard then what's wrong?

>At PAX Prime 3,500 people tried the demo, and only 20 managed to kill the Cleric Beast at the end. Moving forward to Tokyo Game Show, things went a little better, with 1,250 attempts across the four days and about 40 victories.

The biggest thing was the community was better. Halfway through the life cycle nobody grassed or kept grass to a 3 maximum, even if they've never dueled before. During my whole tenure in DkS/DeS it was the fucking opposite... Only finding the occasional vet that wasn't a faggot. In DkS it was nonstop gank squad estus/humanity chug faggotry. Not to say I expected people to play by gay ass house rules, but in DeS people did for the most part because it was fun as fuck instead of every duel degenerating into some pussy game of hide abd seek while your opponent runs off to chug estus.

Instead of complaining that future games won't be as good as their previous installments, you can, oh I don't know, GO BACK AND STILL PLAY DARK/DEMONS SOULS. The games didn't dissappear, and they are still there and still fun. They were good experiences, and all had their own strengths and weaknesses.

Please don't turn every "good" or "fun" franchise into fucking Call of Duty. The last thing we need is more cookie cutter rehashed dog shit flying around. Let them make original and new concepts for you to try - change is inevitable.

>>285450632
Well, I wouldn't say Demon's Souls is still here. Online is pretty much dead. Dark is still thriving though.

PVP is already confirmed.

When you beat the game, you transform into the boss that killed you the most and invade a random player's world and try to stop them from beating the level

when you play the game the first time you have no way of knowing if the boss you are a fighting is a player or not

Pretty sure they're going to be lamp posts now (IGN 18 min video), and probably only serve as teleporting to different areas/back to the dream hub world instead of being a HP restore.

I could be wrong.

>Multiplayer
They've said there is Player vs Player, and we already know how summoning works from the Alpha.

I hope original darkwraith type invading is still available. There's also speculation that a gravelord covenant will be available, but the "gravelord" will turn into a beast whenever someone invades his world to rid the curse or whatever. That's all speculation from a development monitor shown in an IGN video.

Fucking Christ these japs are complete idiots.

hi

i am one of the beta testers at Sony Europe. I had a chance to beta test bloodborne and recently we've been testing online functionality to make sure the servers are ready for launch

basically when you open yourself up for co-op there is no friendly fire so the pvp is basically you needing to trust your partner not to kill you when you least suspect it

it sounds lame i know but i think it will make co-op more of a trust thing than before

>tfw jealous angry shitposters make you smile because you get to enjoy things they aren't allowed to enjoy

..except it hasn't. also, its only sold a pittance of what the ps2 sold. also, enthusiasm for it already waned. since they just sit there collecting dust, and those numbers are not likely to increase. it's also barely above the xboxone, so if you're going to say the ps4 is a success story you might as well start saying the same for the xbone. in all honesty though, shit's a failure.

I would imagine it would be. You can invade like that in Demons, and the devs keep regurgitating the "Bloodborne is Demon Souls 2" thing in videos over and over.

If it isn't, I would be sorely disappointed. The game will still be awesome but lack of random invasions or AT LEAST duels would be shitty. I doubt they wouldn't include it, seeing as how much the mechanic is loved.

>>285455372

it sold well at launch because microsoft shot themselves in the foot by trying to ram that kinect b.s. down people's throats, so people automatically bought ps4 just because "it was not microsoft!". Now that all those casuals know what a piece of shit it really is with all the bricking that happened, and they're getting to experience "waiting for games", just to end up with trash like The Order 1886, don't expect those numbers to go up.

Every time Miyazaki has been asked about the difficulty of his games, he's always stated that they're not about difficulty or punishment, but about challenge and accomplishment.

The former are merely indicative of the latter, notice that in all of Bloodborne's previews ''difficulty'' is barely mentioned, challenge is what they're selling. This is how based Miyazaki and Yamagiwa are.

>>285459629

>>285451896
It's sad that it had to come to this.
I never thought Japan could be the land of the casuals but they are.

The PS2 sold 20 million in Japan
PS3 8 million (200k short from 9 million, and was also beaten by the 3DS)

And the PS4 is on its way to perform worse in Japan.

It's funny that FFXV depends more on western sales than its Japanese sells (despite it being the most hyped game over there).
