Bayonetta 2 and Super Smash Bros for Wii U.

Neither are original. They're sequels.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I guess I see where you are coming from. Regardless, my point was Playstation fans haven't seen a score like this since two years ago.

No, your point was that the Wii U doesn't count for some reason, which is why you decided to exclude it when people corrected you.

Bloodborne looks absolutely amazing but let's not pretend other systems and games don't exist.

 

[JudgmentJay]

LOL, just went there. Had a few good laughs. 3 posts about the game on the first page
- 1 discrediting sites that gave it a perfect score
- 1 Talking about reviews being paid
- 1 just talking about how this is the only good exclusive the Ps4 will ever have

I have a few friends who are big Dark Souls fans are also PC elitist (so basically /V/) and are allways on /V/. Whenever they shit on the Ps4 on Facebook you only have to mention Bloodborne to get them into Buthurt mode.

Console fanboys are truly the worst.

Courtesy of the Hardcore gamer review btw

so i have no clue about " bullshot "

 

[VanWinkle]

Correction? First new IP since 2013 to earn above a 90 on consoles.

Well, there really haven't been that many high-profile new console IPs in the last year, have there?

 

[Alebrije]

This game is nothing like DMC

Of cuourse not, but it has some elementents that share with DMC so he could enjoy it , for me Bloodborne goes beyond DMC and is the reason that if you like DMC would like BB

 

[Auctopus]

This game is nothing like DMC

Ignore him, he constantly spreads misinformation.

 

[Xpliskin]

What's your point ?

 

[Booshka]

some mixed reviews on the graphics. are they bad ya think?

It's From, so they aren't going to be technically amazing, but the art design is what they absolutely nail.

 

[shinobi602]

Reviews seem alright.

 

[Pathfinder]

Good lord.

I step away for 30 minutes to cook dinner and look what's happened.

 

[VanWinkle]

Neither are original. They're sequels.

He said "original" meant "not a remaster/re-release".

What's your point ?

That it's not all that shocking that there's been no 90+ MC new IPs for consoles in the last year, since there really haven't even been very many new IPs for consoles in the last year.

 

[LiK]

Lol, why is the 7.5 listed first?

No offense, LiK. Know you're just trying to keep up.

^_^

 

[BlackGhost]

Why isn't this review included in Metacritic?

Bloodborne Review. This game is BRUTAL! 1.03/10

This literally had me laughing out loud

 

[StoopKid]

Well, there really haven't been that many high-profile new console IPs in the last year, have there?

Well titanfall and sunset.

 

[Bunta]

Reviews seem alright.

 

[TomShoe]

Still waiting on my Polygon review

 

[kayos90]

I'm glad I can finally talk about this game. It's so fantastic. Absolutely loved it from beginning to end and I can't wait to build more characters to play with.

 

[GHG]

Any reviewer that has a swear in his text automatically loses all credibility.

Its just a stupid ass review. Ignore him.

 

[Bsigg12]

I don't get it?

He thinks it's too early for a review and should be played longer or something?

Well, I don't believe any of the multiplayer aspects have been turned on. At least I haven't read anything about them other than people saying that they haven't been able to use them yet. So maybe something regarding that?

 

[Novoitus]

1 hour away omg

 

[Vire]

Huh? What are you talking about duder.

Taking things way way to personally, I legitimately forgot about Wii U. Not a joke.

 

[chrono01]

Thanks for the thread, LiK!

Bloodborne. It will consume us all.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Not IQ wise though right? Do you know what AA method it uses?



Just asking.

Definitely not that good looking IQ wise in the retail game, played it for about an hour and half today and the technical stuff is my only problem with the game.

 

[Hasney]

Ok?
I thought the person was only talking Ps4/xbone when he was asking if this was the first game to get a 90+

Why would they? The Wii U is a console.

 

[N.Domixis]

Well titanfall and sunset.

If susnet counts than infamous should to. They are 1 point difference.

 

[Deified Data]

Why isn't this review included in Metacritic?

Bloodborne Review. This game is BRUTAL! 1.03/10

This is quality.

 

[Gen X]

has there been anything that's scored higher so far that wasn't a cross gen title or a remaster?

TLoU
Halo 3

Just off the top of my head.

 

[threelights]

Welp, the game delivered.

Now I'll leave before reading anything in the thread because by the amount of pages this already has this thread must not be healthy.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Never thought I'd read a review that quite literally said "ugly ass visuals."

 

[IAmtheFMan]

No, your point was that the Wii U doesn't count for some reason, which is why you decided to exclude it when people corrected you.

Bloodborne looks absolutely amazing but let's not pretend other systems and games don't exist.

C'mon man. Clearly the Wii U doesn't count because of some sort of arbitrary distinction and lol Nintendo. Except for Bayonetta. Never forget that they stole our game with that one.

 

[Scrawnton]

Amazon still hasn't shipped my copy but still says estimated delivery for tomorrow. I'm fully prepared to cancel my order tomorrow and setting it to download while at work.

 

[EightBitNate]

Neither are original. They're sequels.

Bloodborne is basically a sequel to Dark Souls tho isnt it

 

[ec0ec0]

... ps4 definitely has no games!!

those scores. i have a friend (who has a ps4 ) that's probably going insane right now.

 

[JJD]

Any good youtube reviews guys?

Bloodborne is basically a sequel to Dark Souls tho isnt it

It seems to me it's more of a sequel to Demon's Souls considering the hub world.

 

[hastethedav]

So I just went to pre order on best buy....


"We're sorry. Due to high demand this item is sold out and has been removed from your order"

This is for in-store pickup.

What the fuck

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Huh? What are you talking about duder.

Taking things way way to personally, I legitimately forgot about Wii U. Not a joke.

I'm definitely not taking it personally and if you legitimately forgot about one of the three consoles (how this could actually happen is beyond me), then cool.

 

[ricelord]

Still waiting on my Polygon review

"getting popcorn"

 

[Zaventem]

Well titanfall and sunset.

High profiled for all the wrong reasons.

 

[Toxi]

Neither are original. They're sequels.

The poster was really meaning just remakes and remasters, like The Last of Us Remastered.

Also, Bloodborne is basically a sequel to Dark Souls in the same way Dark Souls was to Demon's Souls, iterating on the mechanics of previous games. It might be a completely different world and not have the name "Dark Souls 3", but it's a sequel in my eyes.

 

[prwxv3]

Bloodborne is basically a sequel to Dark Souls tho isnt it

not this again. No its not, its a new IP.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I found this article from Edge. I got it from a quick Yahoo search, but when you click on the link, it takes you to another article. The actual article only shows up when you click on the cached page.

He's not really talking about localizing there. Those are just his initial impressions of the game. While he runs SCEWWS, he doesn't actually control what is and isn't localized. That why he'd tell people that he hoped that Oreshika was localized. He didn't actually have control in making it happen. But there's no doubt that Sony made a mistake by not localizing the game in the first place. Especially after the reaction from players once people started importing it. It was clear at that point that it was something special.

 

[braves01]

Is it fair to call this a new IP?

It's definitely debatable. In that gamespot vid Brad says it's basically DS3, so there are some out there who've played it and think that.

 

[Moze]

Ugh, yes, because it is one.

I guess it is technically, but let's not pretend this game would exist without Demon's/Dark Souls.

 

[MetalGuardian]

I have $200 in amazon credit that I would absolutely use to get a PS4... if only I had an HD TV Yes, I've somehow been a passionate gamer for two decades and still only have an SD. Neat!

This game looks so beautiful ;_; Super happy for all of you passionate souls fans that this seems to have turned out so spectacularly well.

Hopefully I can join the hunt sometime this summer - until then, I'll be eagerly devouring all of your impressions!

 

[Aeana]

To be fair, games journalism has come a LONG way from just a few short weeks ago when The Order scored poorly and it was time for reviews to go away and reviewers to pull their heads out of their asses

Recommended for modhood.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

I'm not one to get really that invested in metacritic, but that 93 be blinding

 

[Reset]

Why would they? The Wii U is a console.

Why are you telling me this? Maybe if you bothered to read you'd see that the guy says it himself that he wasn't counting the wiiu because he forgot that the WiiU existed. Which is why I said yes if you ignore the WiiU ot's the first game to get a 90+
I don't care if you count the WiiU or not.

 

[NullPointer]

With these scores I just may give this a shot.

I know the load times are shit and there's a patch coming (which I'll wait for), but how about performance otherwise? Tearing? Framedrops? Jaggies?

Any reviews that cover those aspects well without spoiling things otherwise? I'd prefer to jump in blind, knowing almost nothing.

 

[SexyFish]

"getting popcorn"

Check out the Overview video posted above to hear some of our thoughts on Bloodborne, which we'll be reviewing in full later this week, once we're done getting murdered by werewolves.

You'll be eating that popcorn for a while.
