Yes

Kill yourself

It's Dark Souls without the shield.

I've never played it, but you're better off reading and watching reviews than asking this shithole of a board.

To be honest, there's some good discussion here on Sup Forums, but when it comes to console exclusives, you will not get an opinion which isn't driven by console war mentality. PS4 owners exaggerate the quality of the game because they feel that they have to prove something about their choice of gaming platform (this is called autism), and everyone else shits on the game to compensate. Outside of shitposts, I've only heard good things about the game.

1) Sure.
2) It's like Dark Souls with the atmosphere and the way people die.

And by die, I mean fuck up.

It's worth buying if you buy the dlc as well. Also, the changes made to this game really sets it apart from dark souls even if they share a lot of similarities.

An Hero please

Ok but is the gameplay actually fun or do people like the game because it is really hard?

yeah every thread on here is bait right

>best gameplay
>best pve
>best dlc
>best weapons
>best art design
>best atmosphere
>best soundtrack
>best endgame content
>funnest souls game

but are soul games even fun

Define fun, faggot

>no
>no
>yes
>maybe
>yes
>yes
>no
>no
>impossible to allocate any level of objectivity

stuff that is fun

Yes. But for $20 it's worth trying out. I put like 12 hours in before I got bored with the artificial difficulty.

Dark Souls as a series has merits beyond being difficult.
The series encourages exploration and minimalizes tutorials. Although there are RPG elements, the bulk of the game can be navigated and conquered through player skill alone. Enemies and bosses are designed to give players issue the first time they are fought, but, once their patterns and attacks are learned, they can be defeated flawlessly with the proper reflexes.

Bloodborne is probably the worst in the series if you're looking for multiplayer or replayability, but it's still a very fulfilling single player experience. There are a few character archetypes and build paths that remain, and all of them are quite satisfying. There are very few weapons with copied movesets, unlike other Dark Souls games -- the rest are unique. There's more of an emphasis on dodging and counterattacking, so much that shields are almost entirely done away with. Mixing guns into your swordplay is refreshing.

I got into the series on Bloodborne, after spending years feeling alienated by the "difficulty" and the sluggishness of the combat in the other Souls games. Bloodborne was more up my alley -- fast-paced and combo based. After finishing Bloodborne, I went back and played the rest of the series with the ability to appreciate them for more than what a glance would have you surmise.

I recommend you play Bloodborne as your first Souls game.

Yes, the gameplay is fun. Yes, the game is hard. People aren't all the same person, so some of them like the game for different reasons. I like it for both.

Both of these posts are correct. The game is beautiful, and has engaging, fast-paced gameplay with unique weapons and an engrossing setting and score. However, it falls short in many aspects that made the other games in the series good.
I recommend it for beginners.

I can see where you're coming from. It gets really fucking annoying when you realize that every boss has some sort of grab with phantom range that instantly 1 shots you. Still not as bad as ds2 with the artificial difficulty tho

>Is it like dark souls where people only like it because it is hard?
if that's what you think of dark souls, then no, it's not worth buying

bloodborne especially is NOT hard

just stacking potions and being average will get you through

imo yes, especially after mastering the mechanics (i-frame dodging and parry timings), the oppressive atmosphere and epic bossfights are not found anywhere else in gaming. Fun is subjective though, some people will never get these games.

>or is it like dark souls where people only like it because it is hard

don't get bloodborne, we don't need people like you playing these games anyway

what are you gonna do about it?

If you think Dark Souls is hard don't event think about getting Bloodborne, especially the DLC.

eh don't know how you can deny it has the best pVe, well at least melee pve (even though I find broccolli man arcane build fun as fuck).

It seems like he's going to suggest people like him shouldn't play it.

uh, not recommend him the game dummy

that's what he asked for so I gave it to him

Salty pcuck tears

I think Dark Souls is hard and I love all Souls games and Bloodborne and have a platinum trophy in all 5 games. What's wrong with that?

Vicar Lawrence man. Rekt my asshole for three days. I beat Orphan first attempt ng+ but I just couldn't git gud for ages on Lawrence. Second phase ripped me a new one.

It's harder than dark souls? Damn that sucks. So you guys do only like it because it's hard then, oh well I'll stick with skyrim

If you have a PS4 then you have to get BB. If you don't you might as well get xbox one or even better a PC.

pve covers bosses and normal enemies. bloodborne's normal enemies are pretty boring. the base game also has a lot of boring bosses, save for gehrman and logarius. all of the good bosses were added in the dlc. it's pve is still better than demons and ds2 though

Dark Souls is a fucking cake walk compared to later games.

the only hard bosses in bloodborne are the dlc ones. the base game is probably the easiest of all the souls games

Worth as fuck, I love it. Finish it was an awesome experience, bro. Just buy it without being a reviewtard

Dark Souls isn't hard, it's just an alternate action game to play when you're kinda buzzed out by more intense action games and want to chill out for a bit.

You seriously have to be fucking brain dead not to recognize basic telegraphing in Dark Souls. Unless you're still stressed out by the likes of Legend of Zelda, I guess.

I think you should play the other Souls games before bloodborne, the contrasting gameplay mechanics really give you a view on how different bloodborne is to the others and appreciate the design choices

Yes, it's basically DaS with better, faster and more satisfying combat.

I didn't like this game. I played Dark Souls and loved it, but this game was too fast for me, and the setting was kind of ugly IMO. I was unimpressed by the starting city because it looked like there were lots of repeated assets used to make it, so it had a lazy feel. Sad!

Best game I've probably ever played. Been gaming since the master system.

>Compared to
Good thing I'm just comparing it to a general gamer's level of skill and not just pushing to look for brownie points and bragging rights on an anonymous imageboard.

I fucking suck at video games though that's the problem with this game

this desu and more just dodge dodge dodge it's pretty boring

I dunno, outside of a very small number of bosses the Dark Souls bosses are all just as easy/easier.

It's not any better with a shield.

If you're just dodging and not moving for the kill then thats your shitty technique

BB is all about speed and aggression

i guess that's true. a lot of people seem to think that bloodborne is the hardest though, when it really is just as easy as the others, atleast if you find the others easy

the chalice dungeons are definitely harder than anything in the other games

"pretty boring", so objective. BB mobs in general have faster attacks and more follow-ups. Also down-playing down BB's best content because it's DLC. Fighting Ludwig and Orphan are the peak of Souls pVe imo. Also prefer the gun parry system in BB cause I hardly ever use it in souls because it's not worth it but on a few enemies. Trick weapons are also way more fun to fuck around with. Idk, I guess a lot of it is subjective though.

Dark Souls in general is pretty overrated in terms of difficulty by itself, all it takes is patience and paying attention to environments.

>Dark Souls in general is pretty overrated in terms of difficulty
No shit but that doesn't mean it's "the piss easiest game ever created", that's just being a contrarian because you don't want to agree with anyone who's obnoxious and that's an awful way to be.

it's just because it doesn't hold you hand all the time and normal mobs do actual damage. Kinda how games used to be but people are so used to coasting through content that they shit themselves at having to pay attention to a game without putting it on instant death difficulty.

the chalice dungeons are garbage and lazy tho. they reuse the same bosses multiple times but give them a shit ton of attack and hp. some of the bosses are even normal enemies with ramped up attack and hp

cool how you diss my points for being subjective, and the follow up with subjective points, then immediately admit to it. don't see the point in that but you're obviously the smartest person so ill let it pass. also I wasn't downplaying the dlc. the dlc is some of the best content in the series. the reason is separated it was because the op was asking about buying the game and getting the dlc would double it's price, smart one

Bamco really fucked up the public perception of Souls games with how they marketed it as "the most hardcore and difficult game ever". The appeal of Demon's Souls to me was the exploration and immersion, the difficulty was just the cherry on top. Some of the following games tried to hard to play up to the series' reputation and just came off as forced, just look at DaS2 and its global death count.

eh it's just train of thought user, wasn't really trying to "win" an argument about how good a game is. Also BB mobs having faster attacks isn't subjective, neither is ranged parries being more useful (better debateable though).

better is*

Agreed.

I didn't like it when I first bought it and gave up after a few hours but after all the Bloodborne threads these last few days and watching some early game playthroughs I want to try it out again.

I'm saying it's the easiest game ever you retard, I'm saying it's not hard and it isn't: all it asks from you is patience and basic spacial awareness. It punishes your easily avoidable mistakesand doesn't spam savepoints. That doesn't make it hard, it makes it fair.

>le contrarian
Having a different opinion doesn't make you or the other person a contrarian, you retard.

Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne are all just modern NES games

>fun game
>great atmosphere
>cool multiplayer
>interesting lore
Worth buying
>not on PC
It's shit

*I'm NOT saying it's the easiest game ever.

what era of history was Bloodborne based on? Victorian England?

>Is it like dark souls where people only like it because it is hard?
This is bait and anyone who responded to it should feel bad, including me.

But all dark souls games are hard already.

>I'm saying it's not hard and it isn't
Except
>all it asks from you is patience and basic spacial awareness.

Things get easier when you get better.

I swear the amount of people who refuse to acknowledge or understand such a basic thing are getting larger every day.

I hope Dark Souls 4 allows the protagonist to travel to future European dystopia where it is invaded by Middle Easterner demons and fight their way to restore control of their homeland.

Just got the game.

When I level up using echoes, does enemy HP level up too?

If so, doesn't that defeat the purpose of levelling up?

Patience and spatial awareness are skills every human being uses literally every day. If you can't use them to play a game that doesn't make the game hard, it makes the player an impatient retard.

>When I level up using echoes, does enemy HP level up too?
I don't believe so. Items will get a lot more expensive though.

Meant for

>sonyggers

Kek, Bloodborne is literally a casualized Dark Souls, kill yourself.

There is no level scaling

It's liked because the art direction is fantastic. Most people who even play these games don't think they're hard at all, they play them for the world design, lore, pvp, etc.

You're seriously overestimating every human being or trying to look ignorant for the sake of bloating your own sense of skill by not knowing how anyone could be "worse" than you at videogames.

Whatever your goal, you look and sound like a faggot and I'm done with this conversation. Goodbye.

It's worth buying.

its one of the lovecraftian games i like
yeah its worth it

>all I'm saying is DS really isn't hard if you take your time and are attentive, just a fair challenge.
>end up getting fucking psychoanalyzed on a camboyan knitting forum
Dear God man I'm sorry I don't agree with you.

>muh PvP

When will the PvPenispuffers die? It's a secondary feature.

I didn't beat the first boss: the post
