So is this game more around 22 hours or 40+?
And framerate isnt too bad is it? Any word on if it's getting patched like the load times?
I was also curious about the level variety since we've only been shown one place, but I'm going in blind.

It depends, my friend who reviewed it is a huge veteran and didn't have a whole lot of trouble with some bosses that gave other reviewers a bit of pause. He finished the game in around 22 hours the first time and 16 the second time.
THAT BEING SAID, as he even admits in the review, there's tons of content out there that he most likely missed. There's so much hidden content, it's ridiculous. He couldn't even find a covenant on the first go around.

From what I've seen, there's a pretty strong correlation, but it's even bigger than that. This is the first AAA title critically regarded as amazing for the XB1 and PS4 that isn't a remaster. I can see this shocking a lot of people sales-wise.
There have been some good games, but I think this is going to easily earn that title.

Actual quote about the graphics:
I'm not someone who's bothered by review scores one way or another, but nothing says learned, professional reviewer like the use of phrases such as "stupid long, "ugly-ass," and "...as all hell."
You know what this means. PS4 finally has games.

This is absolutely not a 22 hour game, especially if you're new to Souls.
Signs point to 40+
I've read more about people finishing it in 40, 50 or even 60 hours than something low as 22 (which I never did)
Are they much harsher?

What does that emote even mean. Shu it's gonna be k.
I think the OP should bold his links like you have. They stand out more. Add the Metacritic score image in for added panoply lol.

Someone had alink in the other thread that was an update from From and they said they were talking about a patch to improve load times. I;d link it but there are about 42 Bloodborne threads in the graveyard.
EDIT:changed performance to load times.
Well some of the reviewers said they had access to the press online to test those mechanics. So some of these reviews do include the online portion of it.
Actually, from the Gaffers impressions, this game's opening hours are not linear at all.
Some people actually missed bosses.

Really wish these sites wouldn't plaster their reviews with screenshots of bosses. Beware the gamespot review.

Shouldn't be long now until a "Sony must buy From Software" thread pop ups.
Wouldn't be surprised if Sony is planning to

Ah ok. Shame.
I'm guessing he is blown away by the response.

Question, technically isn't the waste of skin class the best since it allows you to level up straight from level 1 so you don't have to worry about increased costs that escalate for every level you go up since you're starting at level 1?
See my post from the last page.
Hopefully they get it up soon and it helps out because it honestly sounds like that could be the only thing keeping this game from a 10 on many sites.

Most reviews are clocking in at 40+. Guaranteed that reviewer didn't do all of the optional content.
Framerate is the best a souls game has ever been on a console.
No idea about variety.

Okay, more like the one game you really need the PS4 for.

Based on consensus from ther reviews. Closer to 40 hours than 20, but it really is a case by case basis.
I for example, will probably take upwards of 60 hours.
"From what you can gather?" That line is what my grandpa says when he's trying to figure out them darn vidyagaems.
Do you write for a site who's audience is grandpas lol?

I was expecting very good reviews, but not this good. Nice.
Looks like the PS4 finally has its first exclusive killer app.
