Only Dark Souls, and unfortunately the frustration completely sucked the fun out of it for me. :(

Smear campaign? Lol, what.

This is the main problem with most people talking about The Order and any Order-related threads. There is always some sort of excuse that people want to jump to in order to try and defend something.

I've seen plenty already, such as this one that I saw for example:
"Oh, it's because the PS4 is selling the best that people want to hate on the game".

There is no bias, or "Smear campaign" or whatever you want to say. It's cool if you like the game, but plenty of reviewers reviewed it for what it was and what they thought of it. Just because you don't like that it got bad reviews doesn't mean you need to try and make up so many excuses for it or try and say that they were all biased against it.

Also to get back on topic if Bloodborne is a successor to the Souls series then people should already know what to expect.

Hmm, was it the difficulty of fighting the creatures/bosses or the learning curve in it that you found frustrating? I'm just figure out the specifics behind your frustration with it.

It was how easily I could be killed and having to retread ground when I did.

Yeah, it's unforgiving in that regard. No check points or saves to load. I find that sort of fun. It makes tiptoeing around dangerous areas all the more exliterating but to each their own. It's not for everyone.

theres a ring now to fix that particular feature

From likes to keep tweaking Souls - especially Dark Souls 2 - that's something I like about them, and something I don't see RAD doing with the order

but anyway back on topic (sort of)

The  only downside for me that I can see for Bloodbourne is that I'd only be able to play it for two weeks until they release DS2 - Scholar of the First Sin on PS4 and XB1

DS2 prettied up, switched up, and cranked beyond 11 with all DLC?

count me in,

I'm afraid - for me - Bloodbourne will just have to wait.

As for the Order? Possibly next year. maybe.

By some critics it was just like some critics gave the order a 2/3/4/5 out of 10

how was the shooting unique? tha only original thing I remember was the thermite gun everything else was generic

I didn't know that they added in a ring for that. The feature shouldn't of never been there in the first place. I stopped playing before the dlc released once I realized that I had to keep making new characters or avoid killing anything at a certain point. I already beat the game plenty of times. Personally, I'm looking forward to bloodborne and I'll probably pick up DS2 later on again for all the dlc and stuff I didn't see. 

The guns,  the way the bullets moved through the air,  the in cover shooting,  the cross hair.  I'm an fps veteran and i never thought I'd play such a fresh shooting game ever again.
