The lore is fantastic but presented in a terrible way. Dark souls for example, you know why youre fighting all the time, your objective and how to get there, even if in a vague form. You also understand the background enough to motivate you.
The gods screwed up, had to light the fire, fire is fading, we need someone to lit it again. To do that you need to open the kiln, which requires getting the 4 big souls which requires the lord vessel which requires ringing the two bells of awakening. Thats it.
With bloodborne you cannot do it. You need to rely on crazy internet theories because the game does not even give an objective properly.
But I love the game though... its a masterpiece and it got in my mind in a way that at certain point I just wanted to finish it soon so I could finally leave yarnham... it was disturbing.

I never once looked at videos until this thread got me thinking and I understood the story just fine on my own back in 2015. The videos I did watch last night and this morning came to the same conclusion I did, mostly. One particular video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjWOy6ioVHI
That guy nailed it and didn't add anymore than needed like some others on YT, 90% of his lore dive is accurate to the game with only small sprinkles of him assuming.
Also, Id recommend the chalice dungeons as some of the best bosses down there and they're so much fun to run through.

I have no idea how you could understand the plot and your objectives with only what the game gives you in one playthrough, specially the events after you defeat Rom. The game goes nonsense and (more) disjointed after that.
