If you are going to reply to me, at least counter what I am saying... T_T  I don't need to play it directly to have that knowledge about the game. 

and no one will be hating on Bloodborne like The Order. 


I already countered, with knowledge from playing the game, not regurgitating the troll material that goes around.

As for hating, you can count on me for hating on Bloodborne. Disgusting game that I wouldn't even claim if free on PS+.

Troll material that is present in many reviews?  Are they all paid to hate on the game or something.  Is that what you really want me to believe, because you played it unlike them?  Get a grip.

And idk why'd you would bash/troll Bloodborne like that. You have not even played it.  Sounds hypocritical bud :(

Nope, all popular From Software games get awesome reviews.

defenetly not. People know exactly what to expect from Souls games and they like it. Will probably be the most high quality entry in the series, too. I expect good reviews from this game.


fixed that little bit at the beginning =D.

And i must agree form the very little that i have seen from this game i also expect it to be the best souls game to date, and the one with the best reviews as well, and thats saying a lot since Dark Souls 2 got a 91 on meta and DaS 1 and DeS a 89, the funny thing is that acording to the fans DaS 2 is the "worst" souls game (its not bad but its at the bottom of the list).



No, I have not seen any of the reactions to bloodborne as I have seen for The Order 1886...

After playing the Order I see where some of this criticism comes from, however, I still can't get over how some people piled on it, it's not an amazing game, but it has its moments... it's not so much the over all score it got (except some strangely low or high scores it got) but the tone of the conversation around it that was just irritating as people interested in the game would not be allowed to grant it any possible merit, it was pre-judged in so many people's mind.



The vultures will be out for sure. This appears to be tough pickings for them but I assure many an attempt will be made.

Lets see:

-it doesnt have QTEs
-Souls games can be played for over houndreds of hours
-Souls games have a LOT of replayability
-They have a unique approach to multiplayer that i have never seen in any game before, (and Bloodborne is improving upon this).
-the cutscene to gameplay ratio is almost non-existent since souls games have almost 0 cutscenes, its just the one at the beggining of the game and the one at the end.
-for a Souls game this game has gorgeous graphics
-they have improved the combat (made it more responsive and fast)
-added new elements to the game that affect gameplay like transforming weapons and some that are just nice details like the blood getting all over youre character.
-character customization is still there and more ind-epth than before
-the level design seems to be awesome like DaS 1 or maybe even better (need to play it to confirm that)
-its open world (something that shouldnt matter but reviewers seem to like this approach more)

i really hope this game both Sells well and gets awesome reviews (which will help it get better legs).




Any smear campaign would have started by now. If anything, casuals will cry "too difficult."

Wow, now it's a conspiracy and smear campaign that made the Order a bad game. Just after the reveal the evil gaming media broke in Ready@Dawn rooms and deleted the awesome game so they had to make a short game missing gameplay in a hurry.

The Order was more hyped than it could deliver. Bloodborne isn't as much hyped as the order to begin with, so it has to be a pretty bad game to get the same negativity.

Well, the article is wrong right off the bat in equating both games as must-play exclusives. Bloodborne might be just that, but The Order is very very far from it. Even without judging games themselves, From Software has a proven track record, while RAD only had experience in making ports for handhelds.

Also, it is tough to call The Order being smeared...Sure, most previews were negative, and many negative articles were written.....and in the end - they turned out to be correct.
Bloodborne has the looks of an excellent game, and will most probably become the highest scoring AAA exclusive. It had many previews and hands-ons, so if the game were, we would surely already have read about it.

Personally, I'm a bit sad I am not into Bloodborne and that type of games in general, but I am sure both critic and user feedback will be excellent.



If bloodborne gets less than 90 on méta, it will only be because of the exclusivity
