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"


He is a xbox fan, everyone know this.  It's just his opinion like any other review out there.

I do agree with the score. BB > the others soul series in term of gameplay, atmosphere and design but the othe souls series are better in weapon selections. I played 3 playthrough with the axe because I never felt the other weapons were worth it in terms of damage, I may be wrong though. NG ++ was really are real challenge, enemies are very aggressive.

As an Xbox fan... this is actually true  

OT: If I ever grow some testicles, I'll play this game; I heard it's not as hard as Dark Souls, or the other one. From what I saw, I like the seemless transition in weapons that require different scenerios to be played out and utilized. 


I'd say that the non-optional content is less difficult than DS. However optional bosses, more challenging chalice dungeons and NG+(+) are really tough. It was probably a good choice, so that everyone can enjoy the game, at least in its core experience.

 

Btw nice review, I agree. Maybe XCX can make me change my idea about the "best AAA exclusive" thing, but I'm not so sure :P

I think its a lot harder if you try to platin it, because that requires you to play the chalice dungeons and killing extra bosses

Nice review Jay. I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's refreshing to witness how you're able to ignore any console preferences when commenting on/reviewing games. In this case with Bloodborne though I don't think it's the best 8th gen exclusive at least not from a personal point of view. Objectively I can see why Bloodborne is one of the best in its field/genre but I suck so hard at these games. Unfortunately my patience is shit.

For me Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony's best exclusives so far are Super Mario 3D World, Forza Horizon 2 and The Last of Us Remastered (Driveclub in case TLOU doesn't count) respectively.

 

Off topic: The Empire thread is really impressive. Do you have experience with running websites/blogs? Maybe Gooch could learn a thing or two XP Have you considered making your own website (or paying someone to) with coverage of general gaming news and sales? I do play mostly on PS4 (I'm a sucker for Naughty Dog) so a potential future thread/website covering PS4 as well would be quite interesting.
