Hopefully it will also stop those adding the "u" becuase tey think it is related to Bourne movie series.Hopefully the trailer clears up the game's title.
You'd not believe the number of people who are like, "wait, why did they add an 'e' to born?"
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.
Exactly, unless the reviewer has played the 3500 hours many have invested over the years, they likely wont figure out the nuances that made the series an immediate cult classic...when even the vets with all those hours invested cant agree, it also speaks to the unlikelihood that a reviewer will have relavant things to say to the vets. The masses on the other hand? THis is a contentious topic...does the "community" want dumbed down game? Its nice to have numbers and strength in veto power, but will this mean a deterioration of what Souls was from the beginning? One thing that is consisent through all games is that none were carbon copies of the others before it. This iteration will have many peculairities and interesting points of discussion I am sure!
I agree, I like the outskirts, and any area that is tough, even on the border of cheap, simply becuase it mixes it up and challenges me to think outside the box and use whatever tactics I can to get by. If it was cheap design, i will use cheap means, even if it means black firebombs for bed of chaos, poison arrows for Amana, or the chameleon spell (forget what its called in DS2) for the Outskirts. I was a big fan of coming to Blighttown with a slumbering dragoncrest ring and cheesing those zombie things from behind...very satisfying.Shrine of Amana is one of the best areas of the game.
Um. as unlikely as it is, it could easily be bad if many of the complaints about the other games culminate in this one, or there are worse issues with which we are unfamiliar. THat said it is unlikely for the following reasons.There's no way this game can be bad, right?
a.) FROM has had a long time for this title, much more than the other titles, especially ds1, which ironically some think is the best, and of course in many ways it is. Still it was rushed.
b.) The story is fresh
c.) the changes we know are coming make sense to souls fans - i.e. losing the shields is something most players do anyway.
No game will help you improve more than souls game.I hope I can play this....but I suck at video games....
If you enjoy Bloodborne when it comes out, please do yourself a favor and play the Souls games too
Something tells me that those new to souls will catch the bug.
sorry couldnt resist
