[Mr.Sumal]

From the IGN Review:

Due to the late arrival of review copies, our Bloodborne review is not yet complete. Above, you’ll find our impressions after the first 40 hours of play - we estimate there’s as much as 40 more where that came from. You can expect to see our completed review later this week.

GOD DAMN

What the hell!? What about the guy who finished it in 22 hours at a leisurely pace?

 

[R3TRO]

Now work is going to feel long tomorrow.

Neoseeker - 9/10

[Lunar15]

Not sure if this was posted, but:

GameZone - 9/10

This was written by my friend who is a gigantic souls fan and has written and filmed guides for Demons/Dark/Dark II. He actually played through the game twice before writing the review. I think he's a very, very good indication of how the more hardcore souls fans would take the game.

 

[E92 M3]

Purchase validated. Thanks numbers!

You crack me up

 

[Tarkus]

Who?

Some casul

 

[TWrecks310]

Review scores look good, buying tomorrow confirmed. =D

 

[jony_m]

Good is a Geek 5/5

Digital Spy 5/5

 

[LycanXIII]

Stevivor- 7.5

http://stevivor.com/2015/03/review-bloodborne/

Actual quote about the graphics:

On top of this, the game is as ugly as hell. It looks like a PS3 offering rather than anything that you’ve seen from the likes of The Order: 1886. The easiest way to show this off is to show my character in the buff.

 

[Duxxy3]

First killer app of the generation?

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

The Curse has been broken!

pretty happy to see a game score this high

just 2 more hours

What a boss

 

[texhnolyze]

Is Lik posting from his phone or something.

I guess this will be another locked review thread.

Anyway, 93 so far on metacritic.
Amazing.

Ugly-ass visuals. Are they even professional critics?

 

[HIR0]

I mean it's still early but I fully expect it to settle in the 90s.

Yeah, I agree.
I think it'll be more in line with the Souls games

 

[Ishan]

I dont remember which one but one review in progress said its taking him too long to finish ... did the reveiw copies go out late or is the guy just slow ... hadnt noticed a review in progress be in progress because of that reason before. (normally its wait for mp etc etc)

 

[UberTag]

Giantbomb probably wont review it at all. Brad never finishes any long games and Jeff hates the series. Maybe Dan will review it, I dont know how he feels about the series though.

They should really get out of the video game business seeing how they're either inept at everything or hate everything.
Just talk about wrestling or other shit full-time.

 

[sn00zer]

Stevivor- 7.5

http://stevivor.com/2015/03/review-bloodborne/

Thats fine...this series really isnt for everyone....its perfectly fine if it just didnt click with someone

 

[FF Seraphim]

Will this be the highest rated Next Gen game so far? Not counting remasters of course.

 

[todd360]

The OP in the other thread was sleeping at the wheel lol.

Its like bloodborne threads are cursed. I pray for your safety lik-kun

 

[TimeEffect]

So long loading times are what I'm seeing brought up, but apparently there's going to be a patch to reduce load times??

I dont see anything outside of that that reviewers are bringing up as a glaring issue, so good!!

I'm not expecting too much out of the chalice dungeon, especially compared to actually designed levels, but that's fine.

This is finally THE must have exclusive on PS4, hope Sony does it justice with advertising, because it looks like it could be a big seller, no?

 

[~Kinggi~]

I guess this will be another locked review thread.

Nah no need. Get there eventually. Or a mod can do it.

 

[Mr.Sumal]

ugly ass visuals

What?!

 

[Revengineer]

The Gamespot review by Kevin VanOrd is very well done. A fine read.

Kevin's stuff is always a worthwhile review to me. He's the Jeff Gerstmann of Gamespot with a more serious, straight-shooter style to him. I'd also venture to say he has a much wider interest in gaming and I can rely on his reviews more for things like Souls games or RPGs.

Also he's very entertaining to watch play IMO.

 

[Darksol]

Holy guacamole

Neoseeker - 9/10

http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Games/Reviews/bloodborne/

Jesus I haven't heard of Neoseeker in forever

 

[Afrodium]

I think this series is gonna be big this gen.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

Bloodborne will eat up my life and there's still more awesome games to come this year

jesus....

 

[Gen X]

I like this quote from Destructoid.

From Software is still one of the only developers left that makes you work for your satisfaction, and Bloodborne is damn satisfying.

 

[Auctopus]

Ahh there it is. I wonder what polygon will give it lol.

I think Polygon will score high as Mike McWhertor is handling it who is a true Souls fan.

 

[Fbh]

Looks like what everyone expected was right.
The first must have exclusive on Ps4, and a damn fine one at that.

Can't fucking wait for tomorrow

 

[Koh]

The only way i was going to skip on this game was if people reported it was broken on release.

Based on these reviews I'm not only going to buy it, but I'm legitimately hyped.

 

[Nameless]

Gerts about to hit us with that 3/5.

 

[bede-x]

It's looking good and Jim Sterling with excellent taste as usual (I presume).

Can't wait.

 

[FTF]

From the IGN Review:



GOD DAMN

I'm so confused...ign saying 40+ hours possibly 80...nzgamer says they beat it in 22 hours. lol huh?

 

[Bunta]

Some casul

Lol. Thanks to GAF I somehow know about biogamrgirl (or however you spell it) but I've never heard of this site. I guess it shouldn't be surprising, there's a decent amount of gaming sites out there I've never heard of.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Framerate and loading issues? I'll wait for the PS5 remaster.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Ugly ass visuals.

The wording cracks me up.

 

[paxromana]

"ugly ass visuals"

hmmm.

HMMMMMMMMMM.

 

[Gorillaz]

Very interested in what the GiantBomb crew thinks. I know Jeff hates it but Brad has recently gotten in the souls games along with Vinny

 

[Manmademan]

Will this be the highest rated Next Gen game so far? Not counting remasters of course.

I can't see anything passing it in the near future, especially not an original IP.

 

[nib95]

Do you believe in miraccclessss

I think that's even more impressive given reviews across the board seem to have been much harsher, with higher standards comparative to previous generations.

 

[Aces&Eights]

Jim Sterling's server room.

 

[TheKastorian]

Fantastic reviews! The first PS4 masterpiece!

 

[Vooduu]

First killer app of the generation?

*giggles* Literally.

 

[OléGunner]

Looks like BB may end up at/near masterpiece status at this rate.

Enjoy the game to all playing at release

 

[PBY]

ugly ass visuals

What?!

Technically unimpressive. Lot of shimmering.


I love the art tho.

 

[FATALITY]

Game's not for everyone. This is very true.

Game is technically not very impressive. It's art does a lot to carry it, but if it's not your jam, that's fine.

Why are you dying? It's a review, and a 7.5 is a fine score.

they gave 9.0 to ds 2 which looks like ass

 

[E92 M3]

They should really get out of the video game business seeing how they're either inept at everything or hate everything.
Just talk about wrestling or other shit full-time.
