This game... Cant wait. First review coming out tomorrow from Edge :)

Abriael3333d ago

It's not a review. The "verdict" part was misleading. Just a preview with interview.

TitanUp3333d ago

Not sure why you got disagrees Embargo doesn't lift for another week.

breakpad3333d ago

what i see is that they kept the blood intact ..that a good thing

Tedakin3332d ago

Yeah I saw the VERDICT and was like... this isn't a review? Extremely misleading on their part.

I read it, it's not a review since they couldn't do co op, pvp, and the chalice dungeons. They said the review will come out like a month later after tomorrow. Judging from what I read though, they love it. Their first playthrough took about 40 hours and that's without the co op, pvp, and chalice dungeons which means a single player only run is about 40 hours which is fucking awesome. This game will keep me busy for a while.

SpinalRemains1383333d ago

40 hours sounds exactly on par with its predecessors.

Of course most put in hundreds of hours to maximize fun and playability, but 30-40 hrs is exactly where the main story should be.

That's a great sign, because I wasn't aware of the standard length for this title.

Thank you.

vishmarx3333d ago

they actually said they played for 40hrs and it doesnt look like theyre even remotely close to the ending

assdan3333d ago

I'm hoping 40+ hours. And from knows how to make a great 40 hours.

TOPRPGNUT3332d ago (Edited 3332d ago )

40 hours in. And still no end near. That's what was said. :)

Maxor3333d ago

I thought reviews don't matter....

thorstein3333d ago

They don't. Watch Dogs, The Order and this will prove that. Don't worry though, we are already seeing hate articles for Bloodborne. And it was predicted by many users a month ago. This isn't a review.

Mega243333d ago (Edited 3333d ago )

My body is ready, I even played Dark Souls from start to finish just to be prepared, just two more weeks.

@below Dark Souls 1 is just as hard friend, can't say the same for DS2.

Ripsta7th3333d ago

U played the wrong one lol
This one is suppose to stay true to Demon Souls

SpinalRemains1383333d ago

I disagree.

Maybe its because I played Demons' Souls prior to the wiki and guides, and because it was my initial baptism into the Souls universe; but hands down, Demons' Souls was the hardest of the three.

Forn3333d ago

Agreed, though I love them both for different reasons. Bloodborne is going to be incredible, I can just feel it. Excited to sacrifice another few hundred hours of my life to it haha.

assdan3333d ago

If this game were as hard as Demon's souls, I would be so happy.

Nucler1003333d ago (Edited 3333d ago )

I neeeed it. Sooo cloose. Yet sooooo farrr.

etownone3333d ago

Waiting for reviews.

Looks great so far

FullmetalRoyale3333d ago

Waiting for my game to unlock. ;)

GiggMan3333d ago

Seriously? Waiting on reviews?

I'm guessing people don't make their own decisions anymore. This generation of gamers is lost.

thorstein3333d ago

I think they do. Sales of games shows this to be true.

etownone3332d ago

Yeah waiting on reviews.

Like I did with The Order... I think I woukd have been pissed spending full price for that shirt campaign with all those cutscenes.

fonduktoe3333d ago

This game looks so good it makes my penis cry.

Clover9043333d ago

Think you might have the clap.

The 7 Best Souls-Like Games - Mastering the Challenge

The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?

toxic-inferno24d ago

Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.

kevco3324d ago

Still DS1? You don't feel it's been surpassed yet?

Demon's Souls has the remake of course, but DS1 has surely been outdated?

Smellsforfree24d ago

I think that the DS1 remake is better looking than DS2. The interior lighting matched with the low resolution textures in DS2 is very garish, IMO.

Besides graphics, what do you mean by DS1 being "outdated"? I'm someone who played through Elden Ring and just recently played through the DS series, and as far as gameplay went, there were all very similar.

Cacabunga24d ago

I haven’t played many but Bloodborne and NIOH1 are on top of my list.. had a blast with these 2

toxic-inferno23d ago

For world design and interconnectedness (that's a word, right?) DS1 is yet to be beaten.

9 Years Later, Does Bloodborne Deserve All The Praise It Gets?

Saad from eXputer: "Almost a decade later, it's time to take the nostalgia goggles off and accept that Bloodborne has long been surpassed by its successors."

jznrpg25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Yes, yes it does. It’s still a great game. Elden Ring isn’t better just different and a bit easier . I like that you have to be aggressive but smart in Bloodborne

thorstein25d ago

I literally replayed it recently and it's better than I remember. I think it's like going back to a beloved book and noticing things I hadn't before.

raWfodog25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Yo! I was getting ready to reply with the exact same four words you started with lol. Yes, I think Bloodborne has withstood the test of time and remains a great game. That’s why all the fans are hoping for a sequel someday. Hoping that we can catch that magic again with a new storyline.

Leeroyw25d ago

Yes. Just replayed it a few days ago. My first Platinum. And yes. I rage quitted so many times and called it BS too when I started. It's tight. The combat is amazing and the lore is rich.

GamingSinceForever25d ago

Elden Ring was easier? I don’t know about that at all. I remember leveling up in Bloodborne and breezing through it. In Elden Ring no matter how powerful I got I was still catching a beat down from every boss.

thorstein25d ago

That's due to scaling enemies. I remember not doing Haligtree untill near the end and having enemies withstand almost a full blast from Azur's Glintstone Staff Comet Azure. My level was quite high.

Melee characters are not fun in that game, especially for the Elden Beast.

MeteorPanda25d ago

Considering l did a run 2 months ago? Yes.

Bloodborne's Potential Remaster Continues To Be Sony's Biggest Missed Opportunity

"Sony is missing out on a hugely profitable opportunity by ignoring fan demands for a Bloodborne remaster and PC port," says Ahmed from eXputer.

thorstein54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

Bloodborne came out on the PS4. It is owned by From Software. What missed opportunity? I am sure the people at From Software know what they are doing. Especially since they are hiring devs instead of laying them off.

Maybe do an article about that instead of writing a hit piece on them acting like they don't know how to run their business.

54d ago
-Foxtrot53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

To be fair Hidetaka Miyazaki said in an interview

“Unfortunately, and I’ve said this in other interviews, it’s not in my place to talk about Bloodborne specifically. We simply don’t own the IP at FromSoftware.”

So the ball kind of is in Sonys court, it feels like a missed opportunity because it’s something people really want and Sony just hasn’t really been bothered to get it off the ground. There was rumours it was at one point but it all went silent.

Cacabunga52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

Sony has been missing nothing but opportunities for a few years now.. since GOW release, it’s worrying silence we’ve been getting..

As for Bloodborne, imo it would be too soon to release it because PS4 game still looks phenomenal..

Bloodborne REMAKE I think will be PS6 launch title by Bluepoint. I truly hope so! 2 gens later we can get the same wow effect as Demons Souls.

Eonjay52d ago

He is right because it is Sonys IP but a little further back he also explained that they only work on one game at a time. This means that From must also be available. In other words it could already be in the pipeline. Ecen if that is the case, it's still up to Sony to reveal it when they are ready. As ever, I prefer not to hear about it until it's about 3 to 6 months from releasing.

CrashMania53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

'Bloodborne came out on the PS4. It is owned by From Software'

Actually Sony owns the IP, same with Demon's Souls. I think they'd prefer if From did the work on any future of both of those though, but if Sony wanted to they could have those off to anyone else to work on them, like the DS remake.

thorstein53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Yeah. Thanks for the info.

But I still think that remasters should wait a generation. And Blue Point did Demon's Souls which was superb.

It can be a huge risk. And I think Hidetaka Miyazaki hinted that it would be a PS6 title. I don't he has no say in what happens, it's a partnership.

--Onilink--52d ago

To be honest, if there is a remake/remaster (not that it needs one) I would prefer someone else to handle it, like they did with Demon Souls

From many perspectives From Soft is an amazing developer, BUT, on a technical level they are far from impressive, both in terms of dated visuals (again, on a technical level, not art/design) and usually poor performance.

And what is the point of a remake/remaster if not to provide a visual and performance enhancement to a game that already nailed the rest?

Michiel198952d ago

@thorstein what huge risk? Part of one of the most well known ip's in gaming nowadays, there's not much risk there when it comes to a remake.

thorstein52d ago

@Michiel

I meant remasters in general are a huge risk, not Bloodborne.

Bloodborne isn't, but I think it's going to be on PS6, like how Demon's Souls went from PS3 to PS5.

Sorry for the confusion.

thesoftware73052d ago (Edited 52d ago )

Thorstein,

Wow, your post seems angry..relax it's an opinion.

And btw, it is on Sony, they have the exclusive right to the game, on top of that, they could have easily, at bare minimum, offered an official 60fps patch, with a few extras and charged people $10 to upgrade or $30-40 for new buyers.

I believe I saw an interview where , FromSoft said it was all up to Sony on a sequel and other dealing with the game.

A "hit peice", that serious huh?..relax lol.

thorstein52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

Wow you seem angry. I responded to crash 2 days ago about the remaster and who did it.

Why do you care what other people think in a moment about some journalism. Calm down, buddy, it's just my opinion. From 3 days ago.

Edit: I just went back through my comments and found 2 where I call out the author in the past month. Wow, I'm a rageaholic.

potatoseal53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

It will be a launch title on PS6 just like the remake of Demon's Souls for PS5 launch

OhReginald52d ago

Sony realizes people will flock to buy ps6s for a bloodborne remake. Easy money.

jznrpg52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

Rumored it’s slated for PS6 launch. Some say PS5 Pro. Who knows ?

P_Bomb52d ago

Highly requested, unfortunately neglected.

jznrpg25d ago

Some say we didn’t need TLOU2 remake but that was a PS4 game and now we need a BB remake but that was a PS4 game. We send mixed signals
