This game is really disappointing so far

Nigga, Upper Cathedral Ward was kino

I disagree, as do a lot of people, but it's fine. If it's not for you, it's not for you. Unfortunately, you probably went in with too high of an expectation. It's overrated, sure, but I think it's far better than any Souls.
I also enjoy the blood vial system, it gives more incentive to fight the enemies you encounter as they're often an item drop that acts as and additional reward. Rlden Ring in particular could have benefit greatly from something like that.

>So this game is hailed as the holy grail of soulsborne games
By people who don't even like the rest of the series unironically and think Lovecraft is high literature. The cancer of that game was replicated in DS3, but thankfully Elden Ring corrected the direction the series was going.

Its not coming to pc. Stop begging.

Elden Ring already has enemies drop flask charges. But I think certain tough enemies in the dungeons could drop charges, like revenants, and it’d be better, or hide waaay more scarabs in the dungeons.

Still the best combat in the series, right after Sekiro

You're forgetting the dexfags that love it because its peak dexfaggotry. Strchads, shieldfags, and magicbabbys typically hate it though.

Mostly groups, which is fine, but warming stones exist and aren't a common drop when they could be. Not only that, but there's not really a reward for playing effectively, so lot of the time it's easier and more appealing to just run past everything. In earlier games, the levels weren't as open, so running past posed a bit of a risk unless you knew when to time it right.
Elite mobs and hidden scarabs would be nice too though.

no one said anything about botw you obsessed fag

the mechanic that attacking heals you is genius and should be implemented more often

Blatant nonsense. Str is great, int gets some cool shit and the best MLGS. It suffers from typical souls progression where lategame rewards it a lot more (with its own unique melee form), but it's still there.

Dark souls 1 was always overated Junk , not a single boss in darksouls 1 that does not have glitchy ugly animations that breaks all immersion .

Combat is nice. As you said, level design is so uninspired, repetitive and predictable except Yahrnam and the swamp. The dlc is pretty dope, and the pizza cutter is the best weapon From has ever designed.

Strength is fine. It actually is the one build that makes combat more closely resemble other souls games.

You genwunners are beyond cringe. kys

You're not playing the game, you're just trying to farm (you)s. It's highly unlikely that you've even touched a game in years, you're guaranteed a millennial that spends all day seething at people who don't fixate on old nintendo shit as hard as you do. So here's your (you)

Holy dogshit taste

>The blood vial system is awful and the level design feels so damn soulless.

What is your actual criticism?

Its better than "spam parry to win" sekiro too.

It's the only good Souls game. By far the best gameplay in the franchise.

as tiresome as it may be to hear, the blood vial system really is just a case of gitting gud. you should not have any problems with blood vials once you git gud because by that point you can easily loop the game to mergo's loft: middle and just do a single run for a ton of blood echoes to buy more vials than you need. so while it is frustrating for new players, it'll be a non-issue for most of your playtime if you want to platinum the game (thus doing 2 other runs minimum)

Yes, like botw. Console war shitters are legit retarded, glad you agree

cuckhammer's hitbox is awful doe

People only like because of
>LE GOTHIC LOVECRAFTIAN ONIONS

t. filtered by the easiest soulsborne game

>So
Opinion disregarded

If you consider only animations, as opposed to near identical weapons with different numbers, Bloodborne has the most weapon variety in the franchise. The trick weapon system alone, and how moves flow into each other, offers so much variety

Gascoigne is tearing me a new one, fuck his beast form. I got this after 2 playthroughs of DS1 on the Switch (just bought a PS4 for the rest of the souls series) and fuck me this game is really fast paced. I guess after getting used to the gameplay I'll have an easier time but so far I'm having a hard time.

So why is this game considered the best again? Would it even have a good reputation if it weren't Sony exclusive?

You need to turn your brain off to play bloodborne well

>The blood vial system is awful
True, it was terrible while aging terribly and it's really telling how they immediately went back to Estus flasks. The game has some stupid shit that brings it to a 8/10 but gay fanatics will say it's a 12/10 anyway.

What other Sony exclusives are actually talked up here? They're largely shit on, so the fact that Bloodborne is praised even on Yea Forums should let you know it would receive this praise regardless. If anything, the anti-exclusive people likely give it more shit solely to spite sonybros.

user, I'm a fellow non-snoy shitter. I agree with what you said. I still think BB is phenomenal, but I think it has some serious flaws that put it below DS3 and DS1 imo, but far far far above DS2. I'd say it's probably closer to DS3 in terms of quality.

Some of the most major flaws include the blood vial system which you mentioned, main game bosses being very samey (DLC bosses are very good), some atrocious boss design, terrible damage balancing around Yaharg'hul, very samey color palette all throughout the game, and the level design taking a shit around Forbidden Woods. I do think the level design prior to that is very good all the way up to the Woods. I definitely commend the game for having the best OST out of all Fromsoft games, a very good lore, some amazing visuals, and interesting mechanics, but I don't see it as being anywhere near the level of DS1.

Objective ranking: ER > DS1 > DS3 >= BB > Sekiro > DeS >>>>>> DS2

Whats wrong with the blood vials?

>the blood vial system is awful
Blood vials were a mistake but it shouldn't be a big issue. There are enemies that drop vials deliberately placed on every boss runback, and after the midgame you can purchase them very cheaply with echoes.

>level design feels so damn soulless
I don't know what you're talking about. The only objectively bad area is Yahar Gul. There are some rough spots in other areas but overall the level design is the most consistently good in the franchise.
