Horfeepee01: BLOODBORNE.

Horfeepee01 12.20.19	PSN is theroninsoul_, add if you wish.
Aerisavion 12.20.19	Game is amazing, soundtrack is too.
JohnnyoftheWell 12.20.19	You're sure to be in a fine haze about now, but don't think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good. You know, it's just what hunters do! You'll get used to it...
Jamdbz 12.20.19	This is my most played game of the decade easily. Enjoy the ride!
zakalwe 12.20.19	Only game I’ve ever ‘platinumed’ Classic stuff.
Slex 12.20.19	easily my favorite From game
DamnVanne 12.20.19	Well shit, I’ll start it this weekend! I picked it up at a game store like a month ago and haven’t played at all yet
WompState 12.20.19	Best one after Sekiro for me. Dark Souls is vanilla, DS 3 is bourbon vanilla, DS2 is a sample of vanilla, Bloodborne is some kind of dank chocolate variant and then Sekiro is a cookie ice cream sandwich with sprinkles.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.20.19	i just wish the map was more interesting - only major gripe with this one but soulsborne games are GOAT so whatever
unlimitedpwr 12.20.19	Still my favorite FromSoftware game, but Sekiro came pretty close to topping it.
Source 12.20.19	i've been wanting to play this but i have an xbox -.-
JohnnyoftheWell 12.20.19	"i just wish the map was more interesting - only major gripe with this one" Already had this convo and I don't disagree but bonus points for Hunters' Nightmare + Central Yharnam level design and [oops, near spoiler]?
brainmelter 12.21.19	Ye game is awesome, it’s the easiest From Software game imo, haven’t played Sekiro yet tho
Trebor. 12.21.19	I see Bloodborne and I smash that motherfucking like
DDDeftoneDDD 12.21.19	Def will get this one and witcher before ps5 Add Hath and tomb mold sophomore here. Theres bloodborne references there.
polyrhythm 12.21.19	Greatest game of all time tbh imo
samwise2000 12.21.19	The way the mythos of the game slowly unravels is what I love best about this Souls series, and this game may be the best in the series in that regard. Oh, and the gameplay, sound and level design is brilliant.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.21.19	" it’s the easiest From Software game imo," the fuck no way. this is probably play-style dependant tho i guess.
JohnnyoftheWell 12.21.19	Bb has the highest skill floor in any From game other than Sekiro but once you're there you're there, I guess
polyrhythm 12.22.19	I had a rough time with BB (my first Souls game), right up to the bitter end... but my friend played it (also his first Souls) and stomped the final 5 bosses on his first go. Unreal Thought he might just be a better player than me, but then he found some DS1 and Sekiro bosses very hard that I found very easy I think the difficulty of these games being play-style dependent is exactly right
Aerisavion 12.23.19	Bloodborne is dodge heavy with no shields + ranged weapon and Dark Souls is pretty block heavy so the two naturally differ in play style anyway.
JohnnyoftheWell 12.23.19	This is true, but the real Dark Souls starts when you throw away your shield (/or play Grass Crest and on your back only)
Slex 12.23.19	will straight up admit i couldn't play Sekiro, that shit was literally fucking impossible lol
Aerisavion 12.23.19	I’m intrigued by how apparently Fallen Order is heavily Dark Souls-esque, haven’t got around to buying it yet. Dark Souls style gameplay w/Lightsabers just sounds amazing.
Slex 12.23.19	the dodging/timing, checkpoint system, and map layout are where it's influenced by DS very fun game
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	the real dark souls is when you dual wield greatswords in nothing but a loincloth johnny u coward
zakalwe 12.23.19	Face facts, Sekiro is shit.
JohnnyoftheWell 12.23.19	don't give me that OP greatsword bs U coward, I completed a full run of DS1 and most of DS2 roleplaying as a character with a broken/unusable left arm:'[
Gyromania 12.23.19	Masterpiece
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	sekiro looks amazing, you probably just suck zak. "I completed a full run of DS1 and most of DS2 roleplaying as a character with a broken/unusable left arm:'[" thats pretty fuckin gangst ngl
Slex 12.23.19	Sekiro is spectacular, just legit too hard for me
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	from what i've heard and read its not really a matter of being "hard" rather that it just demands that you actually learn the mechanics of the game. i gather pretty much every boss is weak to a specific mechanic so it's exponentially easier once you start actually using your brain.
Gyromania 12.23.19	Sekiro is also a hard 10/10.
MeatSalad 12.23.19	Sekiro is very good, probably my third favorite From title with BB and DS3 just ahead of it
Gyromania 12.23.19	Can confirm that you just need to git gud at the mechanics. With enough practice it feels really fucking good to deflect
JohnnyoftheWell 12.23.19	"thats pretty fuckin gangst ngl" full disclosure, I ruined it by going INT build :[ Yeah, Sekiro's reaction timings are a bitch even when you get the mechanics down, but the resurrection mechanic is such a huge safety net the overall experience is arguably slightly easier than some Souls
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	"git gud" amen
MeatSalad 12.23.19	You die much more easily in Sekiro though so it balances out. Only gripe I have with the game is the lack of build options/replay value
Slex 12.23.19	i tried so many times, just don't have the patience at all lol
Dewinged 12.23.19	Sekiro's last two bosses were a nightmare but thinking back, the first Bloodborne run was harder. And thinking even further back, the first Dark Souls was even harder than any of that. And Demon's, that game is fucking hard too.
MeatSalad 12.23.19	These games get easier the more you play them, skills from one generally transfer to the others in some capacity
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	anyways thats probably why bloodborne wasn't my favourite souls game. my playstyle in demon and all the darksouls game has almost always been tank. i virtually never even acknowledged the parry mechanics in darksouls, so when i first played bloodborne i made the mistake of going the ol' flamethrower route over spending the time to master gun parrying mechanics and i feel that it eventually caught up to and crippled me in the DLC
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	so im going to go into sekiro knowing that i need to focus on that shit instead of avoid it. should play through bloodborne again with that in mind too.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	"Only gripe I have with the game is the lack of build options/replay value" fashion souls forever
MeatSalad 12.23.19	Yesss Ain't got none of that in Sekiro sadly
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	yeah that is v sad
JohnnyoftheWell 12.23.19	"Ain't got none of that in Sekiro sadly" Uh, Suzaku umbrella gang where u at?
brainmelter 12.23.19	‘the fuck no way. this is probably play-style dependant tho i guess.’ ok calling it easy is disingenuous but I had the least challenging time with it, I will say tho is that final DLC boss is probably the hardest boss I’ve played in a FromSoft game. Oh and those cthulu spell caster things (sorry haven’t played it in a while) that give you frenzy and melt your health bar from just being in their vicinity were pains in the ass
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	all i have to say is FUCK Lady Maria she is the only souls boss i have ever permanently given up on lmao
Gyromania 12.23.19	Lady Maria is easy once you get the parry times down. Oprhan and Laurence are much harder
JohnnyoftheWell 12.23.19	you got through Ludwig and couldn't hack Maria??
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	see my previous comment
JohnnyoftheWell 12.23.19	Ah gotcha, tankboi. If you do replay BB and get past Maria, hope you're ready for the saltmine the other side of her
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	yeah ludwig was cake compared to maria for me but again arguing boss difficulty for these games is pretty retarded considering how playstyle and build dependant it is.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	i played all these games parallel to my roommate at the time and we almost never shared the same boss struggles. he'd warn me about a certain boss that fucked his life for a couple days and id beat it first or second try and vice-versa
Dewinged 12.23.19	Ludwig was cancer personified.
zakalwe 12.23.19	Fucking amazing boss though. The ones in Sekiro were rubbish.
Gyromania 12.23.19	Lol Sword Saint was rubbish? Guardian Ape, Divine Dragon, Genichiro, Gyobu, Demon of Hatred?
JohnnyoftheWell 12.23.19	Demon of Hatred was s a l t Divine Dragon is the best From puzzle boss and those others are dope fo sho though - Great Shinobi & Father fights too! Ludwig is probs a top 5 From boss though hmm
zakalwe 12.23.19	Yep. Let’s go from the moonlight greatsword wielding corrupted member of the church to an ape throwing its own shite.
JohnnyoftheWell 12.23.19	Absolute top 10 mechanic
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	Similarly, zaks whinging often reminds me of an ape throwing it's own shite
zakalwe 12.23.19	I’m more like that slag who flies about in the dojo thing. Wrinkled, decrepit and permanently due on.
MeatSalad 12.23.19	@Gyro, the Owl fights as well are fucking ace
aydross121 12.23.19	IMO DS3 has the best selection of bosses: Dancer, Pontiff, Gael, Twin Brothers, Abyss Watchers,etc... At least mechanic wise. Also can't understand souls fans not liking Sekiro... It is the same concept but you just gotta hit L1 instead. Amazing game.
MeatSalad 12.23.19	DS3 has the highest concentration of quality bosses fosho, main reason why it's my favorite of the bunch
aydross121 12.23.19	Also thought the bosses in Sekiro were quality all the way through, although it seems a bit focused on minibosses just as much as actual bosses. The Headless are not fun at all though, those water ones are just the worst and lamest shit, thank god they are optional.
Gyromania 12.23.19	Gael and Dancer are so fkn good. Feel like Aldrich is really overlooked
polyrhythm 12.23.19	BB is my favourite overall, but Sekiro has the best combat (suck it Zak) and some excellent bosses DS3 had the best bosses DS1 had the best map DS2 had the best fashion souls and build viability (shame the game sucks lol)
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	Agree about ds2 having best fashion souls but it's also up there for my favourite map, the bandwagon hating of that installment is obnoxious
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	Ds2 is also the funnest to NG+
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	Some of the best dlc too
brainmelter 12.23.19	You’re going to hate me but I played DS2 once and got hit and died by something that shouldn’t have hit me and I was just like NOPE. In Dark Souls if I die it should be my fault not faulty hit boxes.
JohnnyoftheWell 12.23.19	All the DLC is great but I think DS2 benefitted the most from it - all three, esp Brume tower are perfect endgame challenges in a way the rest of the game doesn't scratch
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.23.19	@brainmelter sounds made up u probs just suck
CosmicPie 12.23.19	Sekiro is a beauty. I've been wanting to invest a little more time into it. These games are a commitment.
polyrhythm 12.23.19	I'm not a bandwagon DS2 hater, I genuinely tried to like it, but it just straight up has half the charm and double the flaws of any other Souls game
polyrhythm 12.23.19	Sekiro was fucken baller man, what a game
brainmelter 12.23.19	what poly said about DS2
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.24.19	Yeah no it's the same as all the souls games that's just nerd clout shenanigans
aydross121 12.24.19	"BB is my favourite overall, but Sekiro has the best combat (suck it Zak) and some excellent bosses DS3 had the best bosses DS1 had the best map DS2 had the best fashion souls and build viability (shame the game sucks lol)" Bloodborne maybe has the best lore. The whole thing about the two churches trying to use different methods to achieve transcendence is sublime. One is a bit like Christianity with the whole blood consumption thing and the other is like an evil Buddhism-like religion, but it's handled so well and with so much care. Haven't played either Demons or DS2 so I cant' comment there.
aydross121 12.24.19	duplicated
zakalwe 12.24.19	DS1 lore is amazing and definitely has the best map. I genuinely think that was my main gripe with Sekiro. No levelling up skills and shoddy map.
SingInColours 12.24.19	DS1 lore is more vast but BB's is very slick and sexy. It's a smaller package but a tighter one I think. For me that puts them on par. Haven't played Sekiro yet but I think BB and DS1 stands firmly above the rest of soulsborne.
DamnVanne 12.24.19	Yo this is HARD
polyrhythm 12.24.19	Damn I thought Sekiro had a great map. It had leveling up too, of a kind... moreso just unlocking new prosthetic tools and combat arts. That gave me plenty of a sense of progression, more than just bumping up numbers actually. Agree hard on BB's lore. It's what elevates the game from a great game to a transcendental one.
polyrhythm 12.24.19	DS2 felt like sifting through a basket of bruised fruit. Wish I could have liked it more, this being my favourite series and all
aydross121 12.24.19	Yeah in Sekiro you unlock game mechanics instead of leveling. So you have stuff like Mikiri Counter that you can learn slowly on the go instead of just having a bunch of complex things at the beginning. Thought it was much better than the rpg stuff on the others.
aydross121 12.24.19	My only true complain with the game is the obvious one: Sekiro feels way less replayable. After NG+ there is no much reason to play it again.
polyrhythm 12.24.19	Other than to get the different endings or try out a slightly different play style, yeah I agree.
DamnVanne 12.24.19	Is there a second checkpoint in this game or do I play through this whole adventure in one take like Burdman?
DamnVanne 12.25.19	Nevermind, I quit
aydross121 12.25.19	Probs joking but yes there are other checkpoints they are just a bit apart.
pjquinones747 04.04.23	what up long dead list i am yanking you from the grave to help me pass the next couple hours. bloodborne kicks ass.
DavidYowi 04.04.23	The greatest game ever
pjquinones747 04.04.23	just beat the one reborn and got to the nightmare of mensis. so far its living up to the name.
DavidYowi 04.04.23	Be prepared to meet a goofy fucker
asanisimasa 04.04.23	@aydross121 I get what u mean but I actually find Sekiro really replayable because of how easy it is to jump into and skip anything you don't like and just like beat the game in a day. and the combat is addicting
JayEnder 04.04.23	The greatest game ever [2] One of the very few I would consider a masterpiece.
CugnoBrasso 04.04.23	Just two weeks ago, I talked about Bloodborne with one of my high school students. He told me he hates Mikolash, but I thought it was a fun boss fight, I loved that castle.
pjquinones747 04.04.23	my body is ready for the pain. unfortunately that same body is still stuck at work for three more hours.
CugnoBrasso 04.04.23	Yahhp I understand your pain, I'm currently playing Elden Ring and my job is sucking up a lot of time.
JayEnder 04.04.23	Micolash is such a troll boss fight lmao
pjquinones747 04.04.23	@Cugno once you get high enough level respec to a faith build and get blasphemous blade and all your problems will be solved. elden ring on easy mode
CugnoBrasso 04.04.23	I already cheesed Radahn with scarlet rot and I'm not planning to cheese any other boss (Radahn was just a pain in the ass to deal with, I basically sneezed right behind him and he died of covid). I just reached the mountain tops last week, the capital was glorious. The last time I played a videogame was I think in 2020 or 2021 but my muscle memory is still there.
pjquinones747 04.04.23	dont lose hope against fire giant. if your first run is anything like mine was he might take you a while. i've seen many deal with him easily though, so who knows.
SaveBandit 04.04.23	Bloodborne is a 10/10 no doubt. Love the enemy variety and just how gnarly and disgusting everything looks, top tier atmosphere. Currently working on my third character on Elden Ring too. Decided to go strength/faith on this one to go full caveman and unga bunga people with a club. Just gotta finish the Haligtree area and then I'm on my way to the final couple bosses.
pjquinones747 04.04.23	haligtree has got to be my favorite area in the game. so challenging and fun. each new area in bloodborne pretty quickly becomes my favorite so i cant say accurately which of that game i prefer so far lol
