Do you live in Asia or Europe? If so then you shouldn't have a problem finding a bundle. If you're in the US then you're just going to have to buy the game and console desperately. SCEA doesn't do too many official bundles.
There's going to be creepy plague turned baby enemies, aren't there.
FUCK THAT. I hate those fuckers. Dead Space, Dying Light, now here. NOPE.
From/Sony are killing it with the taglines for Bloodborne, between that and "So the nightly hunt begins..."
Makes the game easy as hell to market.

although this game is being made by an esteemed developer in a now established and made-popular genre, it is a new IP exclusive to Ps4, as was driveclub, and tomorrow's order. I hope you are right though.
i mean hell - LBP1&2 got great reviews, and LBP3 sure dropped the fucking ball. slightly irrelevant but you get my point.
the vegas line?
most impressions for the order were good as well, although it was mostly the graphics. only very close to its release date did the controversies about its lengths arise. i don't know how long people have been flank about the QTEs though.
Nooope. I'll resort to a resounding faceplant. I'll wait for a deal on the ps4 until the game launches then.

I got myself that silver headset bundle on amazon it arrives tomorrow XD btw bestbuy starting Sunday ps4 comes with a free ps tv.
Already have two weeks booked off starting from the release date. Completely unrelated and booked it randomly, but that timing!
Well you know Demon's Souls already had that but the area it's in is spoilery. But yeah their plague babies are crazy.

what are you doing waiting around then.
Whaaaaaat the media were shitting all over the order months back pretty much the first time they played it they were all over it.

I've never played Dark Souls or Demon Souls but Bloodborne looks great. Looks like i'll be picking this up on day 1.
That's okay I'm sure they'll remaster Demon's (with 6th archstone) and Dark 1 for PS4 soon.

I don't remember them dogging on it that badly.
Nah....they were shitting on it since the first gameplay reveal.

Just going by the demo, you'll have 'enough' to use for situations where you might need to use it, but you won't be able to spam it like you could with arrows and bolts from Souls. Which to be fair, they're not meant for damage anyway.
Maybe there might be a shop to buy them but for now you get them from looting.

Yes, you need ammo for firearms. In the alpha, there was a 20 round carrying capacity and bullets weren't scarce, but you definitely couldn't go around spraying shots everywhere.
Thanks!

Oh. You were serious.
I have zero concerns regarding how Bloodborne will be critically received.
The Artisan

they were doing that with Kz2 too because it was a prerendered sequence (from my understanding it was also a target render, and they definitely met the target) but when that game released it got very good reviews.
Eh. PS4 leading console and exclusive.

In the alpha, ammo was available at a steady rate. But they don't necessarily explain to you that the gun is meant to parry and stun, so I found myself shooting when I shouldn't have, expecting to kill things with it. Because of that, I ran out quickly. Subsequent playthroughs, however, I was never running out.

Bloodborne is the 6th archstone confirmedddddddd
The Artisan
Member
yeah. I was.
I'm confident that this game will get good reviews (I also had that confidence for dc and lbp3...) but there is still a chance it will get something lower than most expect. I just hope that isn't the case.
yeah, so why are you disagreeing with him?

All I know is that RAD was showing a demo to press a while back at various events and all the impressions I read were concerning and they were underwhelmed by the game mechanics.
What?
The Artisan

he said it's pretty much guaranteed the game will be positively received, but the 'eh' in your post signified you didn't exactly agree

LBP 3 was not developed by Media Molecule, though. We have the main all star cast creating Bloodborne. Besides, how can you not watch that video and see that game has been created with great care and devotion to the Souls style of gaming? Honest question.
Edit: fuck all to review scores imo. I'm not going to let some Internet voice tell me what is good and what is not. All I have to do is watch some footage and I can make my own determination. From the bias and freebies, thinking that an Internet personality is going to give a fair and honest review is crazy. Even if you found one who would, I doubt we have the exact same tastes.

Ok can we stop worrying about this game because a game that has nothing to do with Bloodborne,except being a ps4 exclusive, got bad reviews?Unless its that "concern trolling" stupidity.
You might as well worry about every other game that is coming this year because thats how irrelevant The Order is with Bloodborne

that is a good point actually, MM did not make LBP3. evo had a history of making racing games though.
I'm not trying to take away from the authenticity of this game. I want it to be a critical success and ever since it was still project beast (with all the hype), seemed like it would be the first big hit for Ps4. and it's shaping up to be just that.
but with Ps4's streak of lowly reviewed exclusive games, I think it is still a legitimate worry. I'm hoping for the best and that bloodborne will be universally acclaimed.
The Artisan

i'm hoping the actual bloodborne disease will be incorporated in the storyline.
They are lowly reviewed because they aren't very good, not because they are exclusive.

Stop concern trolling
I don't think that game will have any serious narrative. Will probably boot everyone's curiosities to the Wiki. Pure gameplay. I like it.
yea it definitely looks more like a stun which is why I wondered if you could pretty much do it at will. Can't wait!

Don't do it! Playing a Souls game (completely) blind is one of the best experiences you can have. I know it's hard but don't spoil anything for yourself. It's been hard on me too but I've managed not to watch any previews/trailers since the announcement at E3.

Against smaller, weaker enemies like the dogs and old crones it's also a knockback.

I would be extremely distrustful of any reviews from the majority of publications in regards to games like Bloodborne (or even Dark Souls or Demon Souls). Sure they review highly but I don't actually feel as if the reviewers have an understanding or can talk in depth as to what makes the games so good.
And to this point, Dark Souls 2 is rated similar to Dark Souls 1 but I'm sure the major consensus is that DS1 is the better game. The nuances that separate the two games just don't get covered by most reviewers. I feel its always been a hollow high score in that regard and I expect Bloodborne to follow that trend.

I thought at least with dc that it's agreed upon the game's not bad, and didn't deserve as low of the scores that it got.

Also i would like to add that Amazon US randomly has the 2 games with PS4 deals. Dying light & Mordor were added to the TLOU bundle randomly so i would keep an eye open for bloodborne randomly being added in.
I do not agree with that. I think among people that loved DkS1, sure, but the superior tutorial, less-linear opening, less arbitrary or subtle zone gating, fast travel earlier, and better balance between builds helped make the game far more accommodating to new players. No low points like Blighttown or Lost Izalith also helped.
Shrine of Amana and Harvest Valley would like to have a word with you.

You are in the minority though. The poll we had on Neogaf was essentially showing DKS>= Des >>>>> DKS2 and honestly I'm sure this is reflected in the Souls community.
