Its true, a lot of people are not acquainted with this type of game, and its not for everyone.
Notice how Mr Hiphop gamer says its his first hour. First hour out of 40+ hours. You can tell when someone has never played a Souls game

Their current cover article is pretty much a review already, but the score will be in the next issue (which will be out in two weeks or so).
Expect a 9 or 10. They love it.

I am Korean.
I'll admit I was surprised when I couldn't find any weapons and ended up getting shredded in the next room over from where I woke up.

Dual wielding my fists was kinda funny though.

Never played a souls game either. Having played around an hour now and having a blast. Died three times already but I think that will happen a lot more often.

This turns out to be "PS4 has only one great exclusive".
Btw, the most acclaimed PS4 game comes from Japanese dev. That's damn good.
Yep, something I like to see. You would never have thought it.

I was taking what they wrote as not looking up really what these types of games are. Because there's been a few already saying this isn't their type of game. Otherwise, I agree. I've watched 2 total trailers for this game and I've skimmed the reviews until I get to experience it.

It looks as if it's time for me to grab a ps4. Can't miss out on this game.

After playing a bit I feel the load times themselves knock off two points on a 10 point scale. They're the bad.
Ironic how two of the most likely best performing PS exclusives this year are going to be Japanese games. FIrst this, then P5.
I hope this sends a message to Sony to keep investing talent and chances into Japanese game development. They have been focusing on western studios for a decent while, but in Japan, there's still a treasure trove, a wealth of talent to be found there

Amazing.
Lets not ask for more exclusives.
Why not? Seems at the very least if this does well commercially another partnership would be pretty cool.

If you like in europe/germany, you can buy a PS4 + Bloodborne Collectors Edition for 379.
Because it would be nice if there was another Souls game that people who owned other platforms got to play?
Why do you want it to be exclusive?

Nope. I'm quite comfortable with exclusives. Bring them on.
But how does that help list wars? You clearly aren't putting enough thought into this.
I'm not a rampant fanboy so that doesn't concern me much.

Remember this series started as an exclusive anyway with Demon's Souls. I'd say Bloodborne is it's own game, a clone of it's self. So I'm fine with it staying an exclusive. It's a Mewtwo in the gaming world.
But the Dark Souls saga will more than likely continue to be on all platforms. I can't imagine it not.

Yup, Bloodborne, P5 and MGSV are all going to be top rated games I think, and all Japanese.
Btw I think Sony has alreayd gotten the message. Nearly all their collaborations have been with Japanese devs (Deep Down, DDO, Bloodborne, L5's game (possibillity), likely involved with DQH in some way) and NIS also said how they are even helping them a bit with funding smaller games.
Japan needs the help and its good that someone is doing that.

I would assume Dark Souls 3 would be that eventually? Also why not want it to be exclusive if the results are something like Bloodborne which I'm enjoying quite a bit at the moment.

There will be other From Software exclusives for PS4 and a Dark Souls 3 for everybody.
Shuhei fucked up with Demon's Souls. Without his fuck up, who knows, maybe their would be no Dark Souls.
You'd be cool with the next big FROM game being exclusive to PC?
Woke up to the review thread this morning.
I feel ya....I'm my way to work. Going to be a llloooonnnnggg day. Even got my surround sound correctly setup last night. So pumped!!!
Bloodborne wouldn't have been made if not for Sony funding. From was contracted, basically.

Sony wanting FS to develope another Bloodborne prevents another Souls game how exactly? Isn't that Bandai Namco's call?
Dark souls is already a thing and is multiplatform. You have no reason to be worried about it becoming exclusive. And i'm sure there will be other multiplat games too.
As long as Sony is helping fund new games that would not have been made, we should be encouraging of that practice as it gives From additional ways to put out games, and helps soften the blow from putting resources into those multiplat projects you want. They get money from Sony funded games, they spend that money on games you want to see as well.
Sure.
If every platform had the exact same game library it would make multiple consoles existing redundant. A platform having a unique game or reason to own it is fine by me.
What's that in the corner lol

This is such a backwards way of thinking I don't even know where to begin.
