I wish Fromsoftware make more unique game like bloodborne .

[Uboa]

Im a big fan of souls game and especially bloodborne , after seeing the "lies of p" gameplay and the constant praise that this game look like bloodborne . I have to say "no ! this game does not like bloodborne" , it may look like bloodborne but it does not have the thing that make bloodborne truly feel different than other souls games . Im not talking about the victorian era , im talking about the gamepaly . The skills that require to play bloodborne are quite different than the skills to beat dark souls and elden ring . let me give you videos for examples .

Did you see how the eldenring gameplay look very bland when comparing to bloodborne ? Elden ring and dark souls is very standardized and lack the wildness of bloodborne combat . In bloodborne , the "pressing at the right time" skill is just contribute 40% of how well you fight the boss unlike dark souls is like 90% , you have to be constantly moving around , positioning yourself to outflank the boss . The boss attack is not tracking you at all but it have ridiculous range and very unpredictable make what you leaned souls games almost throw into the trash can .

Well if From made more games like Bloodborne, Bloodborne wouldn't be as unique!

Kinda a good take yea, MAKE BB2

[königplatzen]

I picked BB lately again and I love how brutal BB is in the beginning in Yarnam, when you are facing the whole city as big mob, 2 very tanky wolves, you have to get around, unless you find the hidden shortcut, Alot of deadends. getting lured into the fight with Cleric Beast, which doesn't help to progress much. The side story with Gascoigne, Gascoigne fight itself. The weird layout of Cathedral ward, Old Yarnam, BSB etc.
If you would bring this game today, everybody would cry, how mean and hard it is.

But, the gameplay is not soo great, tbh, esp. because of the flashy 30 FPS.
I mean flashy literally, because it flashes in your face, when turning the camera. It's not like 30 FPS from other games. I tried to mitigate via monitor settings and it's getting better, but good it something else.

I wouldn't call BB that unique in the "FromSoft Ludomatic Universe", at least not mechanically. The rally-mechanic allows for a more aggressive and reckless approach to combat, but otherwise approached the game pretty much the same as with DS3. It's Demon's/Dark Souls with a different coat of paint for the most part, which isn't a bad thing at all as far as i'm concerned. I felt very much, like i was playing another soulsgame but with more eldritch horror-elements, set in victorian england.

On one hand I would love a Bloodborne sequel. On the other hand it would be bittersweet because BB is such a perfect morsel on it’s own and it ties up quite nicely. I even had a dream after Elden Ring came out that there was a hidden Bloodborne II leaked content add on ingame where I unlocked like, a weird whip sword as well as a pair of sheers propelled by a long, extending spring.

And then theres also the chance they could screw up certain things that made BB fantastic, but I think DKS2 and ER are kinda the only titles where that threat occurred, and it was relatively smaller in error.

BB is just the Souls formula with a focus on aggression rather than turtling; it took your shield, encouraged you to 2H your weapon out of the gate, and absolutely *demanded* you git gud with the parry mechanic, which was executed with a gun rather than a shield.

Otherwise, it's the same beast as what came before it; the same machine with a different coat of paint and a slight adjustment to the gas pedal. It's iterative, not revolutionary.

Which is not a bad thing. BB's a great game, and would be something truly special if they'd ever officially push it past its sub-30 console performance.

But unique within the context of the Soulsborne franchise? Absolutely not.

Are you comparing a end-game boss fight like Maria with the guy in the "middle" Morgott video recorded by Shirakko during his first Elden Ring clear? needles to say we are talking about a low level character.....

Im sorry you have 0 valid points and im typing this as someone who loved and enjoyed Bloodborne and now has a max RL Elden Ring character.

This is what high RL combat looks like (if you actually use more than one skill/spell)

Thats a video i uploaded for its comedy value oh my god!

Do you like Shirakko OP? I love his videos and Iron Pinneaple! But man you should watch some Low Tier God ones and actually listen to the man.

Nice try, but... no.

[The Icecream Snowman]

The main thing which held Bloodborne back was being a PlayStation exclusive. The vast majority of From's fans have and will never play it, as we don't own PlayStations.

That leaves them room to make something new, something similar for PC and we'll all think it's fresh and shiny.

Funny thing is, the one, they put in the game as a joke still is decent, because the ability to block is pretty strong in general for these types of games. The shield from the DLC is downright good vs non-physical attacks.

Parrying is not necessary at all, it just looks cool. Doesn't even work against most bosses.

There are 2 mods, if your PS4 is hackable: One that fixes all framepacing issues with the 30FPS cap for ALL FromSoftware games on the system (BB, DS3, Sekiro) and one that just increases the FPS cap for BB to 60 as well as lowering resolution (The PS4 Pro is pretty much needed for that, though).

Honestly just port that game already. It's literally leaving money on the table for Sony at this point. What makes even less sense, is how there isn't even an enhanced PS5 version yet. Makes me wonder, if that has something to do with how Sony just closed it's Japan Studio-dev team for no apparent reason (co-developed DeS and BB).

Edit: Typos.

IKR! its ridiculous, i really wish they'd remake it at this point. It felt horrible to play on ps4, i dropped it as soon as i finished the story. They know we'd practically throw money at them for it.

I show you lady maria because she is the most similar to dark souls , also , she is a quite easy boss even way easier than Morgott . But somehow they make an normal difficult fight in this game feel so intense and nuance

Unique? BB is the same game design formula which other Miyazakis directed Souls game use. FromSoft literally either makes Souls games, Hipster quirky games or A.Core mecha games so better get used to it.

Careful. Only clowns point out the obvious.

Wut? Well, OP clearly does not know what does terms like Formulaic Design means so I am enlightening him.
