You know, I'm surprised they didn't have vampires in this game.

Considering the themes of blood and human evolution with space monster help, and outright using HP lovecraft monsters (the Mi Go at Bergenwerth), it seems like they could have fit the in.

Not like, classic vampires, but monstrous creatures with tentacle trunk bodies that feast on blood exclusively. Star vampires.

>>376620675
I think the vilebloods were inspired by vampires, but I don't think they were straight up monsters though

>>376620675
there were cainhurtst vilebloods that could be argued as being vampires in a sense but its more like being just an invader

Why is half of this game optional? Seriously, I just beat it start to finish in ~2 hours because I knew where to go. I didn't realize how short it was until now.

They do. Vilebloods were given "vampire" powers.

>>376621431
is it optional if you don't know if it's actually optional on your first playthrough?

>>376621998
I guess not. But it just feels strange because my first playthrough I happened to go straight to Mensis, ended up missing Upper Cathedral, Hemwick, Cainhurst, Nightmare Frontier, Gaol, all of the chalice dungeons and probably more stuff. When I beat Mensis and the hub world caught on fire, I thought I was at the halfway point until I looked it up and realized I just beat the game.

I feel like they could have implemented more stuff from the chalice dungeons into the main game (like the dungeon-exclusive bosses) or at least make it so that you have to beat both nightmares before you can progress. I don't know.

Do you want me to hold your hand?

But anon you are the vampire

>>376621431
What do you mean you knew where to go? Did you watch a fucking speedrun first or something? I don't even want to know. If you don't understand the purpose of optional content and replayability then there's nothing I can say to you.

>>376621431
What's wrong with it being optional? I don't see anything wrong with it even if you can go straight to the final boss. As long as the game has the content to support a full experience then I would imagine that is what matters. Besides, I'm pretty sure you can speedrun all the souls games pretty damn fast.

How many insights are you on right now?

Not a speedrun, I just didn't like how it ended so abruptly. I played Dark Souls 1 before buying BB and it would be like if you could fight Gwyn as soon as you pick up the Lord Vessel. I guess there's nothing wrong with it but you still have to go out of your way to get to optional places like Cainhurst. I wonder if anyone on /v/ got there without looking it up.

Kosm

>>376624290
i'm going to say you're wrong, purely just because I absolutely remember going down there without dropping the brain.

Whether that means it wasn't supposed to happen, you're incorrect, or it was something that was patched later, I don't know.

>>376621431
I agree that too many areas in the game are hidden. Just playing through the mandatory areas results in a fairly short game, much shorter than Dark Souls. I think Upper Cathedral Ward should have been mandatory (with Ebrietas remaining hidden behind a breakable window), and the Cainhurst invitation should have been placed somewhere along the main progression path.

She's the one who summons lighting during the fight. That's why the lightning always strikes directly on her body, no matter where the Orphan is. The Orphan is calling for help, and she answers.

Oi, i just got a ps4 the other week (only have ratchet & clank and HZD so far)

I played the fuck out of DS1, easy 200 hours, couldnt really get into 3 and didnt like 2 all that much besides the pvp. Think BB is worth buying?

>Think BB is worth buying?
It's one of my top 5 games of all time, so I'd say yes. I think it's better than DS1, which is my second favorite of the "Soulsborne" games behind BB.

>>376626238
if you already have the console yes

>>376626238
>ratchet & clank and HZD
why did you buy that garbage?

>>376624521
I'm pretty sure a lot of people got there on their own through sheer enjoyment of exploration. I find it hard to believe that you weren't just trucking through the game without ever stopping to read item descriptions or checking other paths in case of secrets or what not if you beat it that fast and didn't find a single optional area.

I know this is lost on most people nowadays because most people will just hit up a wiki and start looking up everything they missed as soon as they finish a game, but actually discovering whole new areas on your own on a second playthrough is really exciting and makes the game much more memorable and enjoyable to replay.

It's an old school game, a lot of modern players just wont get it.

Yes, but only if you buy the GOTY version.

>>376626238
Bloodborne is by far the best of the Soulsborne games, no contest. I loved the others but BB is legitimately one of the best all around games I've ever played.

>>376626238
>has a ps4
>doesn't have Bloodborne
oh shit what the fuck are you doing

also buy the DLC

>>376626527

Those things always saddened me. They're some fucked up version of a doll and some messengers. Like, they believed in a hunter who failed them. It's pretty fuckin sad. In fact, why the fuck is literally EVERYTHING so fucking depressing in the game? I get the general idea, but it's hard to considering "depressing" good writing unless there is a metric with which to gauge it. There needs to be at least one or two consistent things in the world.

I guess you could count the doll if you really wanted to, since depending on your ending she isn't going anywhere, but still. The only other people that are conceivably not fucked is like Eileen and the Vileblood bitch/Albert. Surely the world isn't that empty. It just makes it feel "incomplete" to me. I'm not asking for happiness, I'm just asking for perspective.

That video is awful
It's literally just nostalgiafag crying
The new ratchet and clank is a fun game that looks amazing
Nothing wrong with it, it's a reboot anyways, not a straight up remake

Also the game sold so well that it literally saved not only the series but the entire genre

God bless Sony

>>376627448
Look into Nioh, it's kinda like souls but better combat and such
Yakuza 0 is amazing, last of us is a must as well, if you don't have it already
I'll also be getting god of war 3 but only because that game is fucking insane and I still can't believe that it was on the ps3

Uncharted 4 is the best looking game ever made, has fun gameplay but is very slowwww to get going

I also got a PS4 recently and am catching up with all the awesome shit on it

>>376627448
Oh and I forgot to say, yes of course bloodborne is worth buying
One of the best games ever made that's for sure
Go in blind

>>376628204
Everything in the video is correct through. The new Ratchet is soulless, annoying, designed-by-committee shit with no personality, and to top it all off it runs at 30fps so it feels like shit to play.

>>376620336
> big eye

>>376629403
Story in a game matters nothing compared to gameplay, which is great
The story is shit, but I don't remember the first games being any fucking better that's for sure because it's the gameplay that I played it for

30 fps is also fine altho 60 is better of course

How about you play the game before you write it off pal

>>376630053
>I don't remember the first games being any fucking better
But they were though, WAY better, which is why people even remember those games in the first place. If the Ratchet reboot didn't have the Ratchet name attached, NO ONE would even remember it exists in a couple of years time.

>>376630294
Idk man, most people, even those who played the other games generally love the new one

Guess it's a few nostalgia fags that like to complain

Besides the story, the new game is very fun and beautiful
