You should have said it in your review, after all it's your opinion and I'm sure some would have agreed with you.  it was okay for a new entry but compare to the other soul's series, it was definitely lacking in that area.  Add to that that there is only one level 10 bloodstone per playthrough which can be found at the last level.  You have to decide carefully as to which weapon must be applied knowing that you won't find another one until your next playthrough, that means that you will have to stick with that weapon another playthrough.  Apparently you can find some in chalice dungeons but I haven't had any  luck yet.  BTW One trophy left for the plat.


haha My friend already got the platinum and im still working on it.  Just a few more to go.  I rarely go for 100 or platinums so it speaks on how much i liked the game xD  As for the bloodstone i agree, there should have been more than 1.  Also adding to that, they should have allowed your to re-spec so you can go for different builds instead of making you do a whole new character

Why dont these games appeal to you?  Its fine that they dont, just curious


Too gritty and unrelenting for me.  In fact, there are only a few fantasy styled games that appeal to me.  Namely Dragon's Dogma and the Fable sreies (not quite the same genre but still).  I couldn't even enjoy titles like The Witcher II or Baulder's Gate Dark Alliance.  Hell, I may be the only guy that couldn't make it through the Lord of the Rings movies.


I havent played Dragon Dogma but a lot of people seem to like it.  Ill try the new one and see what all the talk is about.  But youre a terrible person for not liking the Lord of the Ring movies so you know :P lol jk

Truly great game I hope there will be a sequel at some point led by miyazaki. Which game do you think will top bloodborne first? Witcher 3 maybe?


This year, Metal Gear Solid is looking really good to me.  Witcher III looks pretty good too, but i havent played the first or second one.  I own the 2nd one, just havent played it.  Is the story really important to the Witcher franchise?

Yep MGS looks amazing indeed, can't wait till it releases. The story is pretty damn good in the witcher 2 but as far as I know they don't really tie together necessarily. The first two are based on the books iirc and the witcher 3 takes place after the books. Honestly I think 1 choice I made in the witcher 1 had one very minor consequence when I played through the witcher 2. You could jump straight into TW3 without having played the first two i'd say, although I really recommend you play TW2 if the game looks interesting to you, it's an amazing game imo, one of my favourite games of all time.



Enjoyed the Youtube review. Nice video capture and editing. I hope you had good fun playing Co-op. Are the enemies harder with Co-op or does Co-op genuinely make the game easier? I hope your Youtube channel gets a good following. Problem is, I suppose, you need to have a gimmick to get attention on Youtube. You either need to be insulting or funny, or both. You could actually do an unbiased review i.e. all facts and no opinion (every game scores a 5, because that's right in the middle ) followed by a proper review. Deadpan humour is a legit format and you have an opening for that with your review title.

This made me lol: "the game is from By Software" tee he he.

Also one little pointer, you sometimes use is and are incorrectly. Actually it's mostly saying "is" for a plural subject, when you should be saying "are". But it only happened a couple of times.

lol Doesn't surprise me, i'll def need to work on that.  Thanks man!

Im not sure how to get more viewers at this moment, but yeah id like to see it grow over time.  Im not that consistent with doing reviews on a regular basis so i know that doesnt help




       

I've watched both IGN and Gamespot's video reviews, and concluded I probably won't like the game. The style is too black and grey and dark blue and dark brown for me. Then I read an opinion article by one IGN editor who tried to like the game because of the hype, but just couldn't enjoy it. Maybe I'll give it a shot some day, because there's a line in the OP that really caught my attention:
"And that is the thing, in many games we play, we are pushing through loads of gameplay that we may not enjoy that much just to reach the next cut scene, but in Bloodborne you are there simply to have fun, a game through and through."

The "An Unbiased Review" part is just the catchphrase Jay uses for his reviews. Of course it's not an objective review, because there is, by definition, no such thing as an objective review. My god, why do people get so hung up over one tiny little detail?


Its annoying. Its like someone saying "Im totally unbiased when it comes to consoles, but the PS4 is better than XB1 and WiiU"


So what if someone trys hard to be objective and still comes to the conclusion that one console is better than the others?  Are you saying it is impossible for one console or game to better than another, or are you just mad he didn't say your favorite game is the best?



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

What counts as "this gen"? The game is definitely the best AAA title on the PS4, but overall? Now that's your opinion, but after making such a statement I would like to know how many other "AAA" games this generation you've played.

It really is true.  There is so many games going this cinematic story telling route, but in Bloodborne its all about the gameplay and it truly accels in that category.  If you do end up trying Bloodborne out I hope you enjoy it as much as i did :)
