Games that will have a hard time escaping the shadow of their forebears

Let me tell you Bloodborne is going set up the bar at a new height for future Souls games, Dark Souls 3 and (a hopefully being made) Bloodborne 2 are going to be measured on Bloodbornes greatness.

I wish. All I know is that Dark Souls is a timeless masterpiece with the best dungeon design I've ever witnessed in a game. It will be extremely difficult for Bloodborne to top that, in my eyes. I loved Dark Souls 2, but it was nowhere as good as DS1.

I've only played Dark Souls 1 and I really liked it, but Bloodbornes setting appeals much more to me as well as that the game is more offensively oriented and faster, so the cards are definitely in Bloodbornes hand to at least for me personally become a game that I'll enjoy more than Dark Souls. Also I'll most likely be going in blind with Bloodborne, with Dark Souls I have to admit that I sometimes peaked into some walkthroughs to get an idea on where to go next, I think that also took away something from the experience.
