Why u starting trouble? Sony owns Bloodborne and commissioned a game from From.

Is the Gametrailers review spoiler free?

Purely the text:

Talks about the total amount of weapons.

Describes mostly the feel and details some mechanics.

Describes chalice dungeon in detail, which you might want to be surprised by.

The video has some spoiler stuff so if you just have it on in the background to listen to, you'll be good.

 

[KainXVIII]

The most important review is still absent

You mean BioGamer Girl!

 

[silva1991]

BioGamer Girl deserve their own thread

 

[BulletTheory]

I'm happy the game is getting such a great reception. It does however make the wait until Friday in the UK almost unbearable.

I feel you brother Any chance Amazon uk preorders will turn up before friday? (this is the first game I've preordered in about 5 years!)

 

[DC1]

I have never heard of Stevivor. Are they reputable?

Just remember that:
-All is fair in love.
-Hate is just a silly game.

This thread has allowed me to witness Bloodborn without turning on my PS4.

Where was I port begging? Somebody was asking for a sequel that would have been exclusive and I said we shouldn't ask for more exclusives. I'd rather see FROM freed up to do something multiplatform rather than focusing more effort on exclusives. I thought people would have generally agreed that the more people who get to play FROM's games, especially from the so-called 'A team', the better, but I guess not.

Hey, Seanspeed. The way you say "the so-called 'A team'" lends me to believe you say that sarcastically and don't really believe there's a difference between the two teams. If so, let those blind A-team supporters continue to get stuck with overrated Miyazaki's efforts. You and others can simply enjoy so-called B team's multi-platform games knowing you were too smart to fall for that A-team hype

Me though, the wait for Bloodborne is killing me. Seriously though exclusives add charm to each system imo. It sucks when you can't play a game, but we're all smart gamers on this site and we make our choices.

Isn't continued port-begging bannable ?

 

[Shabad]

I cannot wait to see Polygon's review ^^

6.5/10
- More of the same
- Atrocious loading time
- Not as pretty and stable as The Order

I don't even know if it has to be continued. I thought even if it was a one off you could get chopped.

Well based on their article they put out already, it looks like they like it bunches.
We'll see though.

We're not quite ready to publish a review of Bloodborne, as we've only had access to the game for a few days and have spent too little time with the PlayStation 4 game's multiplayer components. But having played the game for nearly 40 hours, exploring the vast dreary world of Yarnham, it's clear that Bloodborne is an incredible, beautiful follow-up to From Software's Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.

So are you gonna eat one of those giant belly-dragging Yharnam crows when they give it a 9 or a 10?

Those things creep me right the fuck out.

Extending my axe to maximum length when I fight those. I don't want them touching me.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

GUYS Please stop with the polygon crap. No way they'll rate is as bad as you think when you look at their "Thoughts on the first 40 hours"

Stop it, please.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

He was making a joke...cause polygon is normally critical of PS exclusives

 

[SerTapTap]

That one reviews (slightly) negative point about 22 hours of length makes me want to pick it up actually... Love the art, monster design but a 50+ hour dedication is a pretty big deal. 22 hours is sounding more approachable and these seem to have great replay value if I want more.

 

[oddington]

Oh wow. I might have to buy this.

 

[njean777]

Those reviews. Jesus christ.. I wasn't interested that much, but now I somehow really really want this game right now. Even though I know it'll kick my ass.

Unfortunately I promised myself to not buy any more games until I finally get a job. Being unemployed with a fucking master's degree in your pocket really sucks

I was there a few weeks ago, keep looking and don't give up! Although I only have a bachelor's degree.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Software!

Out of curiosity, who wrote the article?

 

[adixon]

Polygon's review will be high, it's being written by McWhertor. He voted for Demon's Souls as game of the year back in 2009 and most of the rest of Kotaku thought he was crazy.

Unlikely with Amazon, though I think I've have games a day early once or twice there. Simplygames and Shopto are most reliable for early deliveries in my experience.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Michael McWhertor. Arthur Gies isn't going to review any From Software game in the future he said.

Edit: too late.

Be forewarned that other reviewers have spent upwards of 40 hours and expect to spend 40 more, so reports of length seem to vary.

Tbh I doubt they fully explored everything the game has to offer. You can clear Dark Souls in 4-8 hours if you mainline the regular quest and do not explore.

 

[Kosma]

How long the game is really depends on your skill I think.

 

[Cavalier]

Nice. Can't wait to see what Dark Souls 3 will be like

I wasn't waiting on reviews to decide or anything, but good for From that they're so positive!

I thought people would have generally agreed that the more people who get to play FROM's games, especially from the so-called 'A team', the better, but I guess not.

This is basically future port begging and salt that the game is exclusive.

 

[TimeEffect]

Why is this? DaS seemed to take minimum 40 no? Reading so many reports of low end numbers mixed with high end

That seems odd to me

 

[rawd]

It saves constantly. You can drop out of the game any time you like and resume exactly where you left.

Excellent thanks

 

[Randam]

Lol at the people getting this now because of the reviews.

All souls games had good scores.
Dark Souls 1 and 2 over 90% too.

FFS!

From From Software!

Yes, but there are some out there, myself included, that fucking despise the bonfire system, and so are interested in this game more.

Yeah, Sony have marketed a 'niche' game (I know the audience is now mainstream) to a wide audience who have never played a Souls game, the casualties will be high, haha.

The posters that are like "I might have to pick this up now." - If you'd never been actively interested by the Souls series and the GAF hype hasn't already got to you then the game probably isn't for you. I phrased that in a very elitist way but I'm actually more impressed that Sony have managed to market this to so many people who were previously disinterested in the series.

 

[Blinck]

YESSSSSS




From what i understand, its more Demon's Souls than Dark. There's no area that goes blighttown levels with those constant sustained types of drops, which is already a good thing. Yeah i'd say from what i've heard, it was around Demon's. It definitely has drops and slowdown, but never really sustained and not enough to really impede enjoyment

Thank you! Good to know it's not like Dark !
Still hoping for a patch that might improve it a bit!
Either way can't wait to get my hands on this game
cheers!

Demon's also. You can't forget Demon's.

 

[tattooed_dwarf]

Well this really is system seller for me. Looks so great and seems to be everything and more than I expected.

All this snarky Polygon slamming seems unnecessary and bit insecure though.

 

[Deified Data]

That seems odd to me

I don't think their expectation of another 40 is wholly accurate, just reporting what they said.

I expect 50-60 hours (making time for co-op/PVP shenannigans) for a first playthrough like any other Souls game, really.

 

[eot]

Polygon's review will be high, it's being written by McWhertor. He voted for Demon's Souls as game of the year back in 2009 and most of the rest of Kotaku thought he was crazy.

Polygon scores aren't just determined by the reviewer though, I think they workshop it based on how the text reads or something.

 

[Toxi]

Yes, but there are some out there, myself included, that fucking despise the bonfire system, and so are interested in this game more.

Uh, this game basically has bonfires. Hope you manage to like it anyway.

It sold me a PS4. I was waiting until now to see if it was the behemoth that I thought it would be. It is. Probably going to stop at Best Buy after work, and see if Bloodborne hasn't sold all the consoles out.

They might just be looking for an exclusive title to play on their PS4 for once. There haven't been many good ones after all. Who knows? They'll like it.

If Polygon didn't give people a reason to look for bias, people might not look so hard for it.
