It's free to play and runs on a toaster. If it would be a Xbox exclusive game costing 60 bucks the numbers would look very different.

It does. If it wasn't any good, people would quickly abandon it, and they don't, instead they keep playing more and more, attracting more and more friends. The same way GTA5 wouldn't sell so much if it wasn't that good, Witcher 3 wouldn't sell like it did, CoD wouldn't get those crazy high numbers each year, and Minecraft wouldn't be close to half a billion. You can deny facts but you'll only hurt yourself in the process. Good games sell, a ton, or speaking even more generally - good products and services sell, always, this rule applies to every single business out there whether you like it or not (you obviously cannot swallow it).
And I don't even want to talk about how Fortnite (and Minecraft as well) is a worldwide phenomenon that reached much broader audience that gaming nerds, just like Pac-Man, Marion or Tomb Raider did years ago, an average Joe knows what a Fortnite is, or at very least heard of it, whereas while asked about Bloodborne people will think you're talking about some rock band or Jason's Bourne sequel... Maybe for YOU Bloodborne is the best thing to come to this planed, but that's just you vs the rest of the world, stop being an ignorant and deal with it.
That you personal alternative reality, not the actual facts, so I have no actual reference to discuss here, sorry.

Probably my favorite game from this generation (toss up between it and The Witcher 3). There are things I like better in Sekiro and even Dark Souls III, but as a complete package, I think Bloodborne is their most consistently good game throughout.

Good game but I wouldn't say it's the best anything.
The Witcher 3 is the more honored game from that year. As is Fallout 4:

Statistically, the most people find it to be better than everything out there. I know that GOTG, GOTY, GOAT et.c are subjective matter for each peron, but putting sentiments aside and using purely objective statistics, that's just how it is..
No, that would mean that it is designed to appeal to a wide audience of individuals. What people find better than something depends on their frame of reference which is subjective. And even if you or i share a common frame of reference (by playing similar video games), we're influenced by countless biases and personal traits which make us unique as individuals, so there's a pretty good chance that, for example, you won't agree with me that Gothic 2: Gold Edition is one of the greatest RPGs ever conceived even if you've played it to completion.

Bloodborne is 5 years old in three weeks.
Imo it is the best game released this generation. The atmosphere is great, the blood upgrade system is intriuging and the weapons are the best and most fun I ever had with a game.
Pizza cutter in action
I mean dark souls 3 is solid and sekiro enjoyable, but bloodborne reigns surpreme. The random generated catacombs were also a brilliant idea when you were tired of the main map.
Some old youtube clips i found of me playing it.
Could be one of the Best Thanks to Japan Studio magic's touch.
But the honor of the Game of generatión is Gravity Rush 2 for many things.

First of all, I never said Fortnite was a bad game. Second of all, you're arguing for how popular the game is. No one is denying that. Third of all, I never once mentioned Bloodborne nor do I consider it the best game of the generation.
It's like you literally didn't read anything I said in the previous posts.

I still need to finish it (and didn't play Sekiro yet) but I love the action and the focus on parrying and countering. Also, there's less loot but much more meaningful, which is good.
The progression, though, it's a bit "whatever" at times, with unprompted difficulty spikes and some areas of questionable usefulness. I feel that Dark Souls was a more focused experience, while in Bloodborne there's some bit of trial-and-error to find the correct areas to explore.

For me it‘s the best game of all time, so yes.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
As crazy as it sounds I don't hear anything from casuals or even regular gamers about Bloodborne, only that so much of it is based on difficulty bottom line it's not MY game of the generation and you have to accept that. People want what the best game of last decade is and in terms of moving the medium forward I will say Breath of the Wild, open world was a great chance for Zelda and they took it, memorable bosses, and again mainly because of the open world environment and you can tell Nintendo is on the verge of doing something great, possibly with Breath of the Wild 2.

oh cmon, dark souls 1 is multy and i'ts one of the best game of the last 2 gen, being exclusive doens't mean shit in these cases.
if bloodborne was on pc too with better performance etc. it would be even more loved than he is on ps4 where performance are mediocre at best.

Bloodborne for me wasn't as good as Dark Souls 1.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was the best game I have ever played though.

Thats fine but all of fromsoft games at there core are hack n slash/character action games that limit movement. There extremely light jrpgs most people run the same 2 or 3 builds and thats it the combat around those games is hit,dodge,collect/level up the end. Iv played every fromsoft souls game from demon souls on and what they bring to the table is just that I would say Nier automta is the final form of what souls games should be difficulty can be hard with tons of rewarding combo options and weapons to switch in and out plus a leveling system that builds on top of creating a faster and more option base game play. You arent limited by a stupid stamina bar most people dislike souls games because of the fast combo heavy bosses that can throw out a 10 hit stun lock combo and the only thing you can do block,dodge or is eat the damage. In nier I can run around,parry,dodge set up a frame perfect starting combo ect.

No, it runs like shit on the PS4 base at least. I really like the game though.
A solid 9/10 still from me.
To me the best game is God of war. Come at me!

Eh, I'm sure it is for a lot of people, but not for me. I could see it being one of them for a ton of people, but BEST? Really?
Yeah, that's how I've always been with FromSoftware's Souls and Souls-like games. I personally don't care for them whatsoever. But I love the universe, art, music, sounds, etc. The gameplay just does absolutely nothing for me. I was always told that I'd probably like Bloodborne the most out of the other titles, I figured Sekiro was even a possibility. But I dunno, I just never felt the urgency to give them a shot. Maybe one day!

What a stupid post.
Comparing 2 very different games as if they were the exact same genre.
What's next? "Battlefield is better than Dark Souls, they are the same thing, but Battlefield is 1st person, and instead of melee weapons and magic it has guns and is not medieval fantasy inspired."

Pretty up there. You'll never get anything close to a consensus about a game being the best, but it's pretty unanimous that Bloodborne is in the elite plateau.

I LOOOOVE NiER Automata (My personal GOTG) but I agree with you, Automata going for a very different gameplay style compare to Bloodborne and even Sekiro. Its like comparing Vanquish to Uncharted, yes both are third person shooters but its very, very different gameplay styles.

Not that I agree, but going by both Metacritic user scores and Steam reviews it’s the Witcher 3.

Made with L.O.V.E and passion, has Soul written all over it. Unlike Sekiro it´s loved by everyone. It´s also smaller in size than Sekiro, has more DLC and it got thousands of awards unlike Sekiro ...
I´m to some extent trolling, still though BB is much better in every aspect. Just accept it already, BB >>>>>>> Sekiro <<<<<<<<<<<<< Tenchu 1, 2

I like both equally, but there are things in Bloodborne I enjoyed more and there are things I like in Sekiro more. For example I like the combat in Sekiro much more but I like exploration in Bloodborne waaay more.

If you like walking simulators and prefer mediocre cover shooters, sure.
The environments in TLoU are very detailed, but never impressed me in the way Bloodborne did fin terms of level design and atmosphere.
