Bloodborne

No PC release

it borrowed too much from the souls games and ended up being a clusterfuck

There's no way to save Eileen.

This is a shitposting thread, but I'll reply seriously anyway.

The camera gets stuck inside parts of the map far too often, this wasn't a problem in previous games, so it's very jarring.

Hitboxes seem much bigger than they should be.

Loading times seem longer than previous games, but it mostly feels that way because there's no item descriptions to read to pass the time.

Framerate shits itself occasionally, mostly when going through fog doors.

That's about it, other than those few problems it's GOTY.

>>291160104

not enough build and equipment variety.

most items you explore to find are disappointing making exploration feel a bit bland.

other than that though, it's great fun, just wont have the same replayability as the souls titles.

Every boss can be easily defeated by spamming your gun.

It makes other games look worse by comparison

Paid SONY shills overhyping the game.
That's what happened.

My only major complaint besides technical issues like loading or frame rate (which honestly, besides Old Yahrnam doesn't bother me that much, it stays pretty close to 30 most of the time with an occasional hiccup), you really start to feel the pain of limited resources. Blood vials were an interesting idea, but my god sometimes I just want Estus back. What really kills it for me is that if you're doing a boss fight where you get hit often and heal often, you essentially have a limited number of attempts at the boss fight. It's kinda the same for the bullets, but I can understand bullets being limited.

Nothing kills my enjoyment faster than dying to a boss only to respawn at the lantern with so few vials that an attempt on the boss would just be a waste, so I have to stop fighting the boss and go farm for a bit. If it weren't for that one thing, I really wouldn't have any major complaints with the game.

No variety in general

But no Souls game was a complete experience before the DLC. So maybe this can be fixed.

>>291160104
Next to no playstyle variety (you have melee and guns, melee with a little extra guns, or melee and guns with items)

Artificial difficulty that surpasses even the worst moments of Souls games. Literally everything can stunlock you and kill you in a single combo. A lot of deaths feel unfair rather than you feeling as if you lacked skill.

It honestly isn't that long. There's only a handful of bosses, and most of them have pretty easy mechanics.

This is just a personal gripe, but to me it feels like there's a big lack of environment variety. Everything feels so.. same-y.

>Artificial difficulty that surpasses even the worst moments of Souls games. Literally everything can stunlock you and kill you in a single combo. A lot of deaths feel unfair rather than you feeling as if you lacked skill.

This entire thing can be avoided by moving and dodging. It just sounds like you aren't that good at the game. Artificial difficulty is a buzzword and does not belong in the same sentence as BB. At no point did the game feel like it was fucking me over with super health enemies or one hits I didn't deserve.

Bloodborne is the best example of difficulty without making it feel forced, just like Demon's Souls and Dark Souls(the latter to some extend since it had it's share of shit).

The game is so similar to Dark Souls that the last 1/3 is boring just like it, but has an amazing and hype as fuck final boss. Bloodborne is Dark Souls 1 pretty much without it's flaws.

>>291160104

That image kind of sums up what I hate about Bloodborne's visuals. It definitely looks better than the previous games, but this particular scene is an ugly, blurry mess. Gameplay doesn't look quite as bad, but the edges all lack definition and have this weird color transition...it looks like bad image compression than any particular effect.

>>291167281
That is just a bug or a glitch, it's not artificial difficulty, it was not intended by the devs for that enemy to do that.

Also, the player's going the hardest way, if you come trhough the door in the middle you can trap the enemies in it.

>>291167824
They fill the game with blur the hide the fact that PS4 can't handle AA, it makes close-up scenes or motionless screenshots like this look really weird, but the game itself has this shitty blur filter and it shows, but they had to do that because i fear if they forced the PS4 to do any more graphical processing the load times would be shittier.

Not that much.
Its way more polished and consistent than any other souls game.
The gameplay is perfect, the level design is the best in any souls game, the lore and setting are excellent.

Some cons:
-PVP is well balanced but almost non-existent. Invasions are gone (now you can only invade people who are willing to be invaded) and there is only one arena. A shame
-While the game is carefully (almost maniacally) detailed the performances will still be mediocre due to the weak fps.
-There aren't that many weapons. It wont bother you that much since they're all extremely diverse. They should have added reskins and stuff, just for the sake of exploration
-The game is shorter than Dark Souls 1 and it lacks of replayability. It's still a pretty long game (it will take you up to 40 hours of youre really good at the game, a second playthrough without exploration could take up to 10 hours maybe). Chalice Dungeons helps but non that much. Thats obviously due to the lack of a decent pvp infrastructure.

It's still a god tier game and it can be easily the best souls game ever released.

Yeah it's a fantastic setting, atmosphere and camera angle, but looks poor due to hardware

Chalice dungeons are a real let down imo. They could've done so much with that but its basically same shit different lay out every time. They could've made it so you have an increased chance of getting invaded while inside a dungeon or something.

>>291168593
I'm not saying it's ok, i'm saying it's some shitty bug due to the devs incompetence, not something added to make the game more difficult.

>>291169000
By your logic, "easy difficulty" is an oxymoron

>>291168448
Am I the only one who is dissapointed by the lack of rewarding exploration?
I mean 90% of the stuff you find is coldblood and madmans knowledge or other junk. They simply let you buy most of the armor set/weapons, instead of placing them in the world.

>>291169000
Rom is the only shit game design choice, godamn is that boss battle the worst in the game.

Not as shit as most of Dark Souls 2 and Bed of Chaos tho, but still shit.

>>291169124
I'm not the guy you originally responded to, but where did you come to that conclusion?

>>291169145
Nope. Feel the same way. Most of the time if I miss an item I don't go out of the way to get it because I know its just more bullets or coldblood.

>>291169259
The guy starts to imply "artificial difficulty" means difficult as if artificial means more difficult rather than being a descriptive term for the type of difficulty. Similarly, "easy difficulty" doesn't mean more difficult either, as easy is just a descriptive term for the type of difficulty, rather than some kind of enhancement or exaggeration

>>291169425
Did you come here last week or why do you think that "artificial difficulty" has any other meaning than "I couldn't beat it first try, therefore it's shit"?

>>291169145
I agree with that, I've only just beat Paarl but it seemed really odd that they give you the Tonitrus in Hypogean Gaol and then give you almost the same thing for beating the boss.

Demon's Souls is about the same in loading times.

1/5th of the game is loading screens, and unlike Souls they don't at least have item descriptions. It's like the team was so proud of the game that they wanted to remind you that you were playing it. Nonstop.

I guess I'll wait a bit.

I just beat the hunter for Eileen in the Grand Cathedral by discovering a really stupid method.

Since he was able to 2-shot me and nothing I could do was able to get him to flinch much, I waited for him to switch his weapon to the mode that drains his health, and then I ran away. When he stopped fighting, he didn't bother to stop draining his own health like a dumbass. He had 3607 hp.

>mfw finally beat Amelia's ass

Felt so good. Got her down to 50% and then unleashed all my ammo on her from the Flamesprayer +3 and killed her. That thing is OP as fuck, goddamn.

>>291161452
If you're having issues with Vials during bosses, try this:
1, don't heal when facing the boss the first one or two times. I don't use a vial until I can survive to past 50% HP

2, by the time you've died a couple times to a boss, you're probably a pro at their level. Kill off a ton of enemies and head back to the dream and drop that shit on some vials.

It's easier to buy them than farm them, killing the pigs and drowned villagers going from the Shadows of Yharnam boss lamp to the middle of the Forest is a good way to do both, 2-4 vials per pig, chances at 1 vial per villager, and loadsaechos too. Ring your bell if you're in the range of the boss too. I did that and after 4 boss kills I had enough echos to max my vials and have 20k left over.

>>291172940
I daresay that's how most people do it because they just can't be assed to do it properly.

some of these comments are on point. The game is certainly not for casual gamers and the huge marketing push has mislead a lot of people into buying the game. But the assblasted comments complaining about bad game design is priceless.

Ultimately the biggest problem with the game is it's not on PC. With a better frame rate and shorter load times the game would be easier to play and less frustrating. And of curse the PCuckcs won't stop sour-graping this until they can emulate it.

Except, you know

No builds whatsoever means the game is a piece of shit you'll put away after you're done with it, it has no lasting power

Convoluted invadind mechanics killed early fun pvp and late pvp revolves around one shot kills, and the lack of builds means everyone plays the same anyways

Farming makes the game a chore and makes attempting to kill bosses on your first try pointless since you'll die and then you'll have to farm the consumables you wasted

Absolutely forgettable setting, story, and characters, there isn't even a CGI intro for fucks sake, shows how much they don't give a shit

Pathetic amount of weapons and armors means there are no rewards for exploring besides consumables

Absolutely unfair bosses that are made more of a chore by the fact there are no shields and you're forced to play a playstyle that might not be for you, the only playstyle there is in the game (fast edgy thief)

Game itself has about 1/10 of the content and depth of a real souls game which makes it a shovelware throaway title instead of a cult classic.

The list goes on and on. GOTY? Nah, mediocre 7/10. If we count it as a souls game, a 3/10, an abomination and blunder of the year.

Blade of Mercy, while not having much range, has been more than enough to get me through most anything. When I start attacking and put the enemy through the blender, it's sort of over.

If you can get the stagger the Blade of Mercy is a blender, but you won't be knocking most enemies out of their attacks.

When I used it, I found it best to dodge inside enemy reach and use the dodge attack and then go to town.

Sadly I felt BoM wasn't for me, even after spending most of the start of the game wondering when I would get it. I found the Reiterpallasch first, and like every other souls game, I fell in love with the rapier.

You can focus on strength, skill, bloodtinge, and arcane, each stat has different weapons that are best for it, along with weapons that work well for quality builds between them.

>Convoluted invadind mechanics killed early fun pvp and late pvp revolves around one shot kills, and the lack of builds means everyone plays the same anyways
They needed a better way of explaining how co-op and invasions work, not pointing you to the insight messengers is a mistake. Most PVP actually revolves around flow and healing, and doing your best to keep up the attack and push that advantage.

>Farming makes the game a chore and makes attempting to kill bosses on your first try pointless since you'll die and then you'll have to farm the consumables you wasted
A change of tactics is best here, part of the game is managing your resources, you're complaining that you need to manage your resources.

>Absolutely forgettable setting, story, and characters, there isn't even a CGI intro for fucks sake, shows how much they don't give a shit
The setting stuff is purely your opinion, and it's find for you to have it. I don't find most of the NPC's overly engaging, but I love the setting, and the story of how things went to pot has been interesting to find and discuss in the threads. As for the CGI, they've got the two trailer ones for leaving the opening menu on.

>Pathetic amount of weapons and armors means there are no rewards for exploring besides consumables
There's fifteen trick weapons in the game, each (mostly) with it's own style and feel, using the Reiterpallasch is totally different from using the Blade of Mercy, for example. I found it best to think of each trick weapon as a weapon class, they simply did away with you having to get the new sword with the better numbers.

They're optional for a reason

>Absolutely unfair bosses that are made more of a chore by the fact there are no shields and you're forced to play a playstyle that might not be for you, the only playstyle there is in the game (fast edgy thief)
You don't really have an example of how a boss is unfair, so I'm going to ignore that point until you present something for it. As for playstyle you generally have to be a dodgy mother fucker yes, but certain weapons can use other mechanics to alter that. For example, a prime way of using the Kirkhammer or Hunter Axe is to charge up their transformed R2. The attacks have hyper armor on start up, meaning even if you eat a hit, you'll still attack. The attacks deal so much damage that you'll heal yourself of all the damage you took in the hit with the Rally mechanic. With heavier weapons you can become a counter hit machine. This is not a souls game, you are punished for not being aggressive. Play like you've got a pair.

>Game itself has about 1/10 of the content and depth of a real souls game which makes it a shovelware throaway title instead of a cult classic.
It has I think three fewer bosses than the other games, takes about the same amount of time to complete, even with speed run glitches like fence jumping. The biggest thing that I've seen taken away is how Covenants work, this time around they feel very barebones, with no one to tell you how they work, you're basically left on your own for how you want to work within them.
