>it was still the best game nominated
Right, because game journos and the awards themselves are a meaningless pissing contest over who can make the most progressive cinematic experience

BB isn't even the best game on PS4. EDF 4.1 and 5 are better so B is #3. can't you guys PS4 correctly?

I actually teared up on Ludwig and Orphan in this game (I met them for the first time on NG+) because the fights were so long and so exhaustingly intense the whole way through. My eyes don't go red / face doesn't flush or anything; tears just well up and appear on the far edges of my eyes for some reason and my hands start shaking while gripping the controller.
The controller shaking also happened a few times in Sekiro but I don't remember any involuntary tearing up like that. Maybe it's the music that really brings it to that level. In Souls and BB, the boss music is written at a tempo that matches the timings of the bosses attacks, so often the moves seem to sync up with it and it looks glorious

All the best loot is in the chalice dungeons. Making a VIT twink and beating them all at low level to access said loot and become an absolute beast in low level coop / PVP is the patrician way to play. Also exploring the ultra dangerous randomly-generated dungeons with coop buddies is super fun.
It is a slog going through the stupid story chalices every time you make a new character though

They brought back intricate level design of DeS too, despite being noticeably linear than DaS1. Great bosses. Best DLC FROM has made. Good art direction. A lot of passion was put into BB, and even Miya developed a boss all on his own. What's not to love?

Maybe the game isn't super super difficult as you think.

Major flaws
- Require internet/guide help (no one could think of the umbilical cord, father g music box and castle invitation in the clinic)
- First 2 areas are great then it becomes horror autism mixed with dull forest
- DLC weapons should have been included in the main game
- the hospital/asylum in the DLC is garbage and it has nothing to do with the bloodborne setting it's just mindless grind autism

that said it's a solid 7.5/10

p.s: there is that super hard npc 1v1 in the cathedral but you must talk to that other npc hunter on the outside. most people missed that too

Tell me what your response is if I didn't beat it then?

Nah cunt. Just cause I speak the truth doesn't mean you get to reject it.

it fucking sucks. I only use it because I have to when I play a Bloodtinge build, since its the only primary weapon that does pure blood damage until the end of the DLC

I'm going to dismiss what you say because what you're saying is retarded contrarianism and lying about having beaten the game doesn't change that

That's because it is.
Its all flash and no substance.

My only issue is by the time you get to the cooler weapons/tools you would have killed most of the bosses in the game so then you're left with nothing to use them on. Yeah you can go into NG+ but everything just becomes a damage sponge then unless you autisticly grind for gems that require online to find decent glyphs

Awful lot of projection here

The health drain is why it sucks. And the tricked moveset, some of the swings miss even when the enemy is right in front of you because you swing it so far to the sides and so not horizontally enough.
It's also very weak 1 handed as a BLT build

What slip exactly? You dismissed my opinions as having not beaten the game and I should git gud when I said they were simple.
Were you not the one to bring up difficulty?

after playing 95 hours the only 2 weapons i liked were ludwig blade and axe
everything else is flawed

Many games have things that take trial and error to find out. Majorca mask for example, which is praised and was before le internet walkthrough. If you needed or couldn’t figure out the music box you might be brain dead

>You dismissed my opinions as having not beaten the game
Correct
>and I should git gud
You have literally imagined this

Yeah I know. But I had unfortunately come down to your level as apparently it's too big brained for you to understand that it's not that good of a game.

>The health drain is why it sucks.
It's .85% of your max health per second. It's negligible at best. With 50 BLT and some Damp BLT Gems, the Chikage's damage output is unmatched.

The only thing i missed out of these is the music box, i actually ended up getting all 4 of the cords cause i found about the Iosefka entrance too late and i didn't trust her enough to send anyone there except the guy that you find on a literal pile of corpses. The other 2 cords are easy to find (one is given to you after the boss and you'll come across the other one if you search every place thoroughly).

Basically I just kited him until he did his shooting attack, after he shoots at you he does one of two moves I forget the other one but the one you gotta wait for is when he jumps in your face real fast. It has an almost slowmotion effect giving you ample time to sidestep behind him and get your visceral attack in, then it's just rinse and repeat until the second phase.

Why is it so hard to understand that it's possible to have played the game and to think its mediocre at best?

Epic brainposter showing le snoy fromdrones what's what xD

it takes like 100 hours of farming the same stupid enemy to get those gems. And you can do pretty much the same damage with LHB, standard 27% phys gems and a 50-50 STR/SKL quality build

>mfw i went and fought him the moment he spawned so he could 2-shot me while i had to get like 10 v.attacks on him
Felt so good after i killed him, still using BoM.

why would you finish a game you think is mediocre

The other one requires you to send Arianna to the chapel, go back there after you kill Micolash and kill her baby.

Why is it so hard to understand that you have garbage taste regardless of whether or not you've played it

Flawed because you didn’t like it?

>Play music to make boss confused
Yes no one thought of that shit. It's a shit mechanic and besides most people living outside of Britanistan don't know priests have multiple wives

You mean the most powerful weapon in the game sucks?

People kept telling me I had to finish it and it will be better so I did. Still wasn't that good.
Why don't you consider maybe your taste isn't all that good if you think this is the pinnacle of games.

Tell me 1 weapon that has crowd control and does not require meme gems to do good damage

No, there's a Damp BLT Gem (5) in the base game that gives you around a 22% BLT attack boost. It's not as good as the gems you'll find in the Chalice Dungeons, but it's still really good.
>And you can do pretty much the same damage with LHB, standard 27% phys gems and a 50-50 STR/SKL quality build
This is true, but the Chikage is still one of the best weapons in the game. The Reiterpallasch is the bad one.

If you're not a moron, hit the spiders in the rear for extra damage. Kill them off until there's few enough of them to be ignored and just bumrush the boss.

Why would I bother arguing with you at this point? You've repeatedly dismissed my experiences because you cannot handle the fact they don't align with yours.

The Chikage and the Bowblade are better than both of those.

>how can you say it's bad if you didn't finish it

I've dismissed them because literally the only argument you've made is "it sucks because I don't like it and you need to accept that it sucks," which means you're either baiting or you're a complete fucking retard and not worth engaging in either case

Yeah, i sent everyone to the chapel cause Iosefka seemed suspicious after i talked to her again (kudos to the VAs) and i figured it'd be the usual "creepy-looking guy is actually the good one" story, so i got her cord too with no guides. And i was lucky (or maybe unlucky?) that i found the back-entrance to Iosefka's really fucking late (i rushed through the woods the first time cause i kept getting lost) so she was already on the table when i got there. I do agree about anons point about the DLC weapons though, they're way too fun.

The former doesn't have BLT scaling and the Rakuyo has better trick string combos.

Not really though. It's not even better than any souls game.

DS2 and 3 are pretty bad, though.

For a twink build, wheel is OP as shit in pvp because you can put brainsucker gems on it that can add like + 208 flat arcane damage to every hit, and that just combines with its regular arcane damage. The hitbox is huge and lingering.
Also it is the only weapon in the game that can really apply poison effectively. The tricked dash attacks all hit 2 or 3 times par attack. These multi-hits allow you to slow / rapid poison any enemy very fast, even ones that are supposed to be immune to it if you do it enough.
I also use it on my 25-50 STR / ARC character because the R2s and dash R1s destroy pthumerians of all types, and most phthumerian dungeon bosses.
I don't use it untricked much though

I thought it would be way harder but I guess having an agressive playstyle that fucked me up in dark souls might be helpful in bloodborne

This strategy is a pain in chalice dungeons

You didn't beat BSB, Ebrietas or Logarius on your first try.

Oh come on BSB is definitely first-try-able, thing is a retard.

Ebrietas for me. Maybe i was over-leveled but i killed her first time completely blind. Logarius did rape me for a couple of hours though.

I've played a bit of Nioh, I got bored because it didn't have the awesome worldbuilding that most From games have.
I've never heard of Death end Re;Quest before. What is it like?

These answers conflict with
Maybe Sekiro is similar quality so preference is subjective?

why, Cory said easy mode is how it should be played?

I'm pretty sure having it out also makes your visceral attacks do more damage, at least it does if you put +thrust gems in it

I'm not saying Sekiro is a bad game, but you deliberately chose the second Genichiro fight to highlight the game, when it is the mechanically most boring boss that is in the game. Even Emma forces you to sidestep once in a while.

There will be times when Rom will cast arcane spells from above just quickly move out the way from them. Especially, when she changes position. Spin around her a lot and whack her with the Tonitrus charged up her health will drop down an assload.

This is never really stated. It's only stated that Laurence wanted to commune, most likely with Oedon, but not that he wanted to ascend humanity. The ones trying to make humans evolve are Byrgenwerth and the Choir which re-adopted its methods; Laurence and Mensis didn't want the same type of evolution.

A huge assumption, especially when Oedon seeks blood. Makes no sense for the blood Oedon is seeking to come out of Great Ones. Most likely it's the blood of Yharnam, but that's just speculation.

Laurence was a part of Byrgenwerth and was a colleague of Willem. They part ways because they have disagreements on how humanity should ascend; Willem fears that the Old Blood is dangerous and should be feared and that Insight is the way to evolution (he was right), whereas Laurence felt that the Old Blood was the proper path to evolution. Laurence leaves Byrgenwerth and forms the Healing Church which is rooted in using the Old Blood. The Healing Church undergoes a schism which consist of The Choir, who carry on Willem's work in the Upper Cathedral Ward, and the School of Mensis founded by Micolash who continue work with the Old Blood.

We know that Ebrietas was a source of the Old Blood, since she's contained in Upper Cathedral Ward.

It's... vacuous. Like Rom's mind.

Whatever you say sweety.

If Ebrietas belonged to the Choir, then what was Mensis' source for Old Blood? I was under the assumption that Ebrietas provided the Healing Church with most of the blood that they administered.

You realize the harder you try the more obvious you get right

You can avoid everything he throws at you by dodging to the left.

She's R1: The Boss. The only thing she has going for her is presentation. Living Failures is unironically a more interesting fight.

At least in BB you are agile. It's a great boss, requires your spatial awareness. In low BL runs, they are casual filters.

The best boss to fight is unironically Sir Alonne and the Penetrator. Fume Knight is a honorable mention as well as the Soul of Cinder. All other answers are neglible save maybe the Orphan of Kos and Lady Maria.

How much END does the player even have in that fight? Besides, she can hyperarmor through your attacks and has parry slashes.

>>same voice actor and design as the doll
It's part of the fucking lore dumbass.
>>yet another hunter boss
They are the best bosses in the game though?
>>third phase is Keeper of the Old Lords except shittier
Weak bait, nigger
>>weapon is literally the Chikage except without blood (adds blood anyway)
Imagine thinking this lmao.

It's actually more likely the Shadows were originally the boss for the forest and they tried adding the snakes later. The forest was originally going to use chalice dungeons enemies and might have been an entrance into the dungeons.

Byrgenwerth would have been accessed through the caves to the side of it.

wait a fucking minute... her cross slash that ignites is identical to the Sekiro Umbrella slash, particularly the Spirit Umbrella and Suzaka Umbrella

Thank god that didn't happen.

And?

>They are the best bosses in the game though?
Not really. There's plenty of great beast bosses.

>Weak bait
You don't even know what Keeper of the Old Lords is, do you?

>Imagine thinking
It's literally the description. Maria is from Cainhurst but she didn't like using blood because she's such a noble gal so she got a unique sword which made her an even bigger weeb.

Then she uses blood on her fight anyway.

Is that what the unused concept art in the bottom right is?

>unused
It's still in the game. Remember the area between the forest and the clinic? Didn't you find it weird how it looked completely different from everything else, like it was a separate area?

That has got to be one of the ugliest box arts I've ever seen.

Yeah, it also has enemies that entirely unique to it. So that was originally going to how the player accessed Byrgenwerth?

is this harder than ds3?

Depends on your build. If you stick with the Saw Cleaver the whole game, it's the easiest.

>And?
It explains the existence of the Doll and gives some character to Gehrman.
>Not really. There's plenty of great beast bosses.
I firmly believe so. NPC battles like Gascoigne and Gehrman are absolutely brilliant and fun. It doesn't feel like I'm wresting a camera during these fights too.
>You don't even know what Keeper of the Old Lords is, do you?
I've fought the keeper before. She does not fight like maria.
>It's literally the description. Maria is from Cainhurst but she didn't like using blood because she's such a noble gal so she got a unique sword which made her an even bigger weeb.
You said Rakuyo and Chikage are the same thing. They're not, they have different movesets. Also the rest of what you just said there is just retarded. How is giving Maria cool moves a bad thing? The blood motif should be symbolic of something anyway, but I'm not that big of a lorefag.

It's possible. There's a unopenable trap door in Byrgenwerth. There was also going to be a Willem boss fight at some point. Most likely the Lecture Building was also part of Byrgenwerth or designed for it, since the area is incredibly small in the finished game.

Bloodborne went through huge changes through development. Check if you want to have look at it yourself.

>huge changes
It's normal and routine for games to shift their focus. Every game out there if datamined enough will reveal a slew of cut content.

>There was also going to be a Willem boss fight at some point.
Not gonna lie, that sounds kind of cringey. I really like the way they handled Willem in the final product.

>a Willem boss fight
Yea, I'm glad they changed that.

Are you really cheesing Micolash, the easiest fucking boss in all of Soulsborne?

>It explains the existence of the Doll
That didn't need to be explained.

>gives some character to Gehrman
It makes him pretty pathetic.

>It doesn't feel like I'm wresting a camera during these fights too.
Not every boss in the game that isn't a hunter is BLB and Paarl.

>She does not fight like maria.
Their final phases are literally just add fire.

>You said Rakuyo and Chikage are the same thing.
I didn't say that, the game did.

>How is giving Maria cool moves a bad thing?
How about giving her abilities that don't contradict the characterization they're trying to set up? Or how about giving her abilities of her OWN instead of putting Gehrman, Keeper and the Chikage on a Doll shaped package?

Parrying was a mistake.

Once you learn how to parry in any souls game, it'll be a crutch. Dodging is more fun.

Yeah, but I still think it's a huge oversight that most bosses in BB have no way to escape parry locking.

I've literally gone through the game without parrying, even with Logarius. It's just there to give you an extra dimension on how you approach bosses.

Obviously it's possible to go through the game without parrying, but I wish it was implanted in a way that didn't feel so cheap to use. It's so good to the point where I actively try not to parry because it feels cheap.

Not the same user but it's clear that Bloodborne isn't finished by looking at Cainhurst. The game has a lot of cut content, we even found bosses and stuff. The game is still great on it's on but it's technically unfinished like every other Souls game

The only thing unfinished about it is the covenant and the maybe the lore. Even then, there's great explanations for it.

Attached: cainhurst slaughter.jpg (588x800, 146K)

Every game ever made has tons of cut content. The content is cut for a reason, most of the time.

Yurie is cute too.

Of course. Bloodborne is the best souls game, but it's sad that interesting things like the moon prescence's worldly form was cut

It's worse than his form in the final game though. Just a floating mass of tentacles.

Hunter of hunters, I would get pulled into worlds of people who killed other hunters in lieu of them getting a partner for the boss

Demon's Souls best level is Tower of Latria, and Bloodborne is Tower of Latria: the video game, thus Bloodborne is better.

How active is the online? I want to jump back into it again. What's the meta for consistent invasions and where?

Every level of Demon's Souls is the best level while Bloodborne has no good levels till Byrgenwerth.

Damn it.

1-2, 2-2, 4-2, and 5-2 are all awful

Sudoku yourself you tasteless swine.

Fuck off I love Demon's but it has plenty of shitty areas

Byrgenwerth is the most disappointing level in the game. You hear it hyped up throughout the entire game and it's literally one room.

Central Yharnam is literally the best Souls level

This, although CotD is a close second.

Eat shit you subhuman. You aren't a DeSufag so stop lying.

It was the first one I played you absolute faggot you probably don't even know what the levels I mentioned are
