Bloodborne is a mediocre to below average game at best, I would be happy if this was true anyway

>>378573494

It'd be hilarious, that's for sure.

don't worry, when it doesn't happen there will still be shitposting about all the people that were expecting it

>>378573961

Eh, it's better than mediocre but it being put on a pedestal as a "never ever" exclusive from PC is just shitposting. It's a pretty good game but not much to get salty about, you'll live if you never play it just like any other exclusive that's not on one's platform of choice.

>>378574139
Source? That sounds fucking weird.

Please no. I adore Bloodborne, but as Dark Souls 2 (and 3 to a lesser extent) have taught us, these games do NOT produce good sequels. Original concept or bust.

Dark Souls was a spiritual sequel to Demon's Souls, which in and of itself was a spiritual sequel to King's Field. I wouldn't say that it has to be full blown original.

>>378574805
You're misunderstanding. Dark Souls, Demons Souls, and Bloodborne were all fucking fantastic. Dark Souls 2 and 3 were the inferior games, and my theory on that is because they were 'actual' sequels. (Well, 2 had way more problems)

Even another dark, fantasy game would be fine if it just wasn't fucking set in the Dark Souls universe, though I want them to keep exploring other options.

>>378573494

>>378574941
Half the descriptions given by the original post were literally copy pasted from PR shit for absolver.

>>378574696
Something went wrong with BB's postprocessing, because it only looks good when you're walking. And yes, I have played the game.

I hope it doesn't happen because DaS2 was really shitty and DaS3 was mediocre and mostly recycled ideas

>>378573494
You've just demonstrated that you don't need Bloodborne 2 In order to shitpost so who cares?

>>378575072

6/10 is better than mediocre, and having played actual mediocre titles like Remember Me, Fragile Dreams, Clocl Tower 3, Nights of Azure and the Senran Kagura games Bloodborne is most certainly above that middle of the road lot. That said it's not really worth worshipping either, or at least not to the degree that /v/ seems to. Fuck knows how much of it is false flagging and shitposting, though.

>>378575113
It has nothing to do with being sequels. It has everything to do with who they were working with.

Demons and BB were done as joint projects with Studio Japan.

Dark was a rush job that ended up with half the game unfinished.

>>378573494

Bloodborne's quality depends on how good your reflexes are, and how well you can time the input lag. You have to press buttons at exact moments, but a half-second before you'd think.

>>378575812
>and it's better than demons and bloodborne
No wonder you think the second half of the game being shit is a meme. You're delusional as fuck. You even admitted that 90% of the second half content is shit in your own post.

>>378575812

>second hald meme
>proceeds to say over half of it is shit

I do agree that Duke's and New Londo were passable, though. Disagree on it being better than Demons', though. Shrine of Storms and Valley of Defilement were fine, much better than Stonefang Tunnel, and False King Allant remains one of the best bosses in the series.

>>378576261
Fuck off back to the reddit newfag

>>378575913

I've never felt that when playing it but if you say so. The Souls games in general have pretty deliberate inputs so you play enough of them and you get used to it.

>>378574828
Well, Dark Souls 2 was basicly it's own world. Some references and items aside pretty much everything else was it's own thing.
Unlike Fanservice Souls 3.

>>378576591
Bloodborne's animations are excessive, and quickstepping/rolling has very clear input lag. If you can't notice it, there's something wrong with you.

It means you can't just spam it without consequence

ironically, bloodborne compared to das3 is hilarious because das3 you are immune while you mash roll, whereas bloodborne, mashing roll or dash won't save you're ass from being hit at the end of it

das3 if you keep mashing roll especially with bloodborne you are invulnerable

This isn't a real leak, this is the description of some ps1/ps2 game

>>378577104
You already can't spam it without consequence because you have a stamina bar, and dodging the wrong way will get you hit. Delayed response doesn't add any kind of "balance."

>>378577016
Literally never played Bloodborne then as it is literally the only game Fromsoft has made that is anything close to it in terms of pace, feel, structure and everything

>>378577264
the delay exists in all the games, it's a part of the check for whether you're holding or pressing the button because of how sprinting is setup

>>378577264
Have you seen how many rolls can be spammed in DS3 with the initial starting stamina?

>>378576976

I prefer DeS' more personally for its more arcade-like progression, like you're picking a stage and it's sequenced into subsections as opposed to the more mixed open/linear progression of the DaS games. I also prefer DeS' level/visual design, though DaS is more refined mechanically and on average has much better bosses. It could go either way but DaS' back half being garbage really sours it for me.

>Leaks and rumors spawning just before E3

>>378577418
Sprinting should have been a different button then. A critical movement to keep you from dying should have a dedicated button.

>>378573494
I don't even understand what they'd do with the story.

would it actually be a prequel with the Pthumerians? or would it be like it's own thing entirely.

It really really sounds like you're bad at videogames anon

People have been well aware and adjusted to this delay in the roll press > action since Demon's Souls.

It requires more skill to do something before the beat than it does like a monkey on the beat. You should know in your muscle memory when to press the button to execute the roll ingame. It comes naturally to those good at videogames.

It sounds like you're bad at videogames. You're not bad at videogames are you anon?

>>378577186

Dark Souls was a breath of air in a time where the game industry was filled with easy, generic and safe games, the game was unique and atmospheric. Bloodborne tries to recreate this and ends up being a bipolar game which it doenst know if it wants to be a hack n slash or a action rpg

also the framepacing is unnaceptable

>>378578023
>good enough

Dark Souls 2 was 'good enough'

also, I want fucking starting classes with small pieces of equipment that fit with it.

I disagree. DS2 was hot garbage.

>>378578135
>also the framepacing is unnaceptable

the what?

>hack n slash or action rpg

What the fuck is this. Bloodborne plays fundamentally no different to the other games. All that is different is distance parries, and more moveset options like backstep r2's and such.

Dashes are faster than rolls but have less iframes than DaS3 rolls and massive counter damage at the end of them if you fucked up timing, and stamina is plentiful and weight is non existant

How are you then putting it into hack and slash? It's exactly as much action rpg as any of the other games were and are.

I don't use "difficulty" to defend bad mechanics and bugs

>>378577789

Nah, it's about half and half. If we're cutting it down to major areas it'd be

>Undead Burg, Blighttown, Sen's Fortress, Anor Londo

vs.

>Tomb of Giants, New Londo Ruins, Duke's Archives, Lost Izalith

Of course there's a bunch of smaller/supplementary areas inbetween like Depths, Undead Parish, Darkroot Garden, Crystal Cave, The Catacombs, and the like but for all intents and purposes the important places are roughly half and half.

How about we take a break from souls or anything like souls and let Miyazaki work on his own thing

>>378578448
You sound incredibly new.

It's not a bad mechanic or a bug. The roll button is also your sprint button and is also your jump button. You need to be sprinting to jump, and you need to time your rolls properly.

I literally just said you suck at videogames anon, you should maybe try and start with Dark Souls 2 instead as your first series entry as it might be more your flavour since jump is mapped to it's own input and the movement is more clunky and predictable for you

>>378578312
inverted commas, it's a decent game, but compared to the rest of the series it's hot garbage.

I don't want Bloodborne 2 falling into that kind of situation.

>>378578380

No, its much faster (not necessarily good). The sense of danger and opression is gone, its like playing a poor man dmc

As a ps4 owner i can happily say bloodborne is over rated as fuck

>>378579387

I basically see Undead Burg/Parish as one big area. You can swap the names out since Parish is where you ring the first bell. In fact, it probably would be better to list Parish over Burg in retrospect, despite Burg being the first real area you go to.

>>378579467

Yeah okay there Anon. Bloodborne wasn't any easier than Dark Souls and had the added difficulty of the chalice dungeons. Whether you like the chalice dungeons or not is another issue but they are far more difficult than anything else the soulsborne games have to offer.

It's really not but perhaps you have that misconception because you spend too much time on /v/. If anything Dark Souls is the most overrated having a terrible second half.

>>378580303

Fair enough, though I suppose that's not much different from splitting Catacombs and Tomb of Giants, Demon Ruins and lost Izalith or Duke's Archives and Crystal Cave - you could do that but what is there really to be gained in it? They're different but for simplicity's sake I'm just sort of lumping them together. If anything's the dividing factor on which half is bigger it's probably Darkroot Garden.

>>378580598

DeS is enough of its own beast to be considered better or worse on its own terms, it's not just "DaS but older". Its approach to level design and progression is rather different, much more streamlined and less open than the DaS games.

>>378580819

That only four of dark 1s areas are shit. You could lump dukes archives and crystal cave but that would imply that dukes has a garbage part and crystal cave has a decent part and neither is the case, same with catacombs and Tog and I don't think that dies justice to with area

>>378580832

Whether they're shit or not wasn't the particular argument being made anymore, but rather whether or not there's more to the game pre-Anor Londo than post, to which I'd say it's about roughly equal, or at least equal when including Anor Londo into the first half.

>>378581859

Nah. I think DaS is the best Dark Souls, and I think Demon's Souls is the third best Souls behind it and BB.

It's just an opinion, man. I really like the nexus and archstone layout of the game, and that was missing in all future iterations.

>>378576798
If they managed to pull of that twist and fool us all again I would be fucking impressed.

Then again considering it is fromsoft I would be expecting it. They'd need to do something completely different for that to work.
