Is this game actually good, or is it just /v/ version of Baneposting?
It's ok.
>>322302972
>baneposting
I'm sure you like using the word "buzz"
I don't know because I don't have a PS4. Like everyone else on /v/
It drags a bit at the beginning, and the whole Beast Hunting thing feels tedious. But if you stick around long enough to kill some of the later bosses, things get far more interesting.
>>322302972
Sales, critics and users a like have said it's incredible so you can bet it's a great game for it's genre unless you are one of the few people who don't like it which is fine since not everyone likes every game that every claims is the best
You know where most Souls games start off great, then the second half of the game is mediocre as fuck? Bloodborne is the opposite. It starts off mediocre as fuck, then it kicks into high gear and things go crazy.
If you can play it long enough to get to them parts, then yes it's good.
>>322302972
im sick of seeing threads like this over and over again on /v/. yes it's a great game.. stop being a nigger and if you want to play it fucking BUY IT instead of making worthless threads
It's GOTY so yeah OP it's worth it.

It's fucking great, but I think EDF 4.1 is the better PS4 game
>>322303797
I like your opinion
>>322303412
What makes this game so much better than the Souls games? How come Dark Souls 2, for example, wasn't as praised as Bloodborne?
>>322303762
Let us sit and shitpost about ideas of the new realm.
>>322304767
Dark Souls 2 has absolutely shit level design and simply increases difficulty by throwing millions of enemies at you at a time.
Bloodborne has much better level design, atmosphere, enemy mob sizes, and bosses.
>>322303797
I hated the woods. Not that I think it's mediocre or anything but it feels a bit like a grind. So big and takes the longest to get through if you're going for a 100% completion. It drags on forever too.
>>322306053
What was the purpose of that little area behind the gate basically i think north of the 3 shade bosses in the woods?
>>322306053
I think the woods is the best designed area of the game. Especially the beginning of the snakes half.
>>322306174
It's a shortcut to an earlier part of the woods.
>>322303447
I would buy but $410 for one game is a little too much for me.
>>322306270
Fair enough. I'll agree with you that the DLC was absolutely superb. Amazing level design. Best DLC I have ever purchased.
>>322306360
PS4s are 300 dollars anon
And bloodborne is like 20 now
>>322304767
Because Bloodborne was its own thing instead of retroactively fucking up element from the story in DS1. Im not hating on DS2 for being a bad game. Its gameplay mechanic improvement and weapons make it a solid 8/10 in my book. Its a great game, just a mediocre Souls game
>>322306303
It's one way though, which means it's fairly useless. The one time I used it I though I'd found a secret, then I realised I just had to run past all the snakes I killed already.
Instead of a drop it should have been a ladder you kick down, so repeat visits to the forest (which you have no reason to ever do) would have more pathways. Or serve as a boss shortcut for people who didn't find the second elevator.
It's an average tier game in its own right
Worst in the series when stacked against other Souls titles
>>322307245
>didnt find the second elevator
If Central Yharnam didn't teach you that searching for shortcuts to open is central to progression, I wouldn't know what to say.
But I feel ya on not liking the Woods. Kinda refreshing at first but it got old fast.
>>322307002
Dark 2 is an OK game. I no way it is great. It's a rushed, unfinished, hastily patched together mess.
>>322307314
>Worse than Dark Souls 2: Remake In Less Than A Year Edition.
>Baneposting
I just wish it would stop. It isn't funny. Its the "just pretending to be retarded" of forced memes.
>>322302972
Oh it's great! It really starts to kick off after Vicar Amelia. Once you get down with the gameplay, it'll be fun. Granted if you run headfirst into this game you won't like it. So plan out your moves and you should be good.
>>322306360
>>322306451
just buy darksouls 1 or 2 its all the same shit
>>322307245
CAVE PART IN FORBIDDEN WOODS, THE WOODS WERE EASY THE SNAKES IN THE CAVE ARE NOT. PLEASE HELP.
>>322304767
DaS2 stripped DaS down to its barebones structure and gave you extra helpings of its most basic gameplay principles.
However, it neglected to put you in a cohesive, captivating and artful setting with a (comparatively) logical layout and consistent theme.
Instead of an Ouroboros of interconnecting believable levels and mythical creatures that could make you shit your pants in a 1v1 (even monsters that dont qualify as minibosses) and felt like worthy opponents in their own right, the DaS2 levels felt like linear obstacle courses whose challenges and enemies never served a purpose other than existing to wait around to ambush you on a narrow bridge.
Imagine that the devs of STALKER had a truly awful read on what people saw in Shadow of Chernobyl, and decided the sequel should borrow heavily from Call of Duty and throw you into a corridor shooter theme park campaign.
>>322307314
OFFICIAL TIER LIST OFMYENJOYMENT:
Demon's Souls = Dark Souls > King's Field IV > King's Field II > Bloodborne > Shadow Tower Abyss > Dark Souls II > King's Field > Shadow Tower > King's Field III
if you liked the souls games you will love bloodborne so yes it's good if that's your kind of game
>>322308920
I think the thing that gets me the most about Dark 2's world design is how fake it feels.
Demons and Dark 1 managed to immerse you pretty well and make everything feel tangible and believable. In Dark 2 the seems are so obvious that it feels like you're just running through a doll house.
But the one thing that prevents me from replaying it is the basic character control. Just the most basic character movement is fucked. You feel so stiff and out of control, as though you can only walk in four specific directions, or you're playing using a Dpad. It's just not fun to move your character around, which is a pretty big fuckup for any kind of game.
>>322303348
>Sales, critics and users a like have said it's incredible
KEK
I liked the Dark Souls games, absolutely hated this one. Thought it was terrible.
But most of the internet, /v/ included, seems to like it a lot so I guess it's just me.
>>322310475
What didn't you like about it?
>>322302972
Just finished the DLC.
This fucking game, man.
It's the gift that keeps on giving. I'm doing another playthrough right now focusing on arcane, I just can't get enough of it.
>>322311845
>tfw stuck on orphan
>>322310475
It's an obvious falseflag, anon.
Quit before sonyggers get mad.
>Singleplayer
Arguably the best in the series. Excels at literally everything it sets out to do.
>Multiplayer
Co-op is fine, but PvP is delegated strictly to those who ask for it. Meaning you can't invade little Timmy's game and rape his newbie ass like you could in previous games.
>>322312095
>learn to parry his two slowest attacks on first phase
>you'll get to a point where you can beat the first phase without losing vials
>2nd phase go in to the sea so you can see the electric storm coming
>LITERALLY fucking stick to him ALL the time
>slap the fuck out of him with a fast weapon
>dodge as best as you can
>get lucky
that's the best strat i found
also as a tip on the first phase, when he does th jump attack walk towards him a little and he will jump over you every time, then you can backstab him easy
>>322312685
What is "asking for it"?
>>322312210
>.gif
Why? Why include that shitty ailment? It's a good idea, getting fucked over by lovecraftian insanity.
But why does your head explode and 80% of overallhealth falls?
If it was me I would have just made it so the hunter just grabs his head in anguish for a little while leaving him open.
>>322312779
You have to ring a bell to trigger the "I want invasions" line of code.
>>322312095
Easily the hardest Souls boss
>>322312902
Am I the only one who found Ludwig to be way harder?
Even Amygdala was way harder for me.
I had to co-op Maria and Ludwig but I did Orphan of Kos solo.
>>322312874
Not always, if there's a bell ringing woman in the level (like Nightmare Frontier) you can have unsolicited pvp
>>322312902
Just use Augur of Ebrietas on it, it makes humanoid bosses a walk in the park to get viscerals on.
>>322302972
I got tricked into buying a ps4 basically just to play this since i have a PC and don't like weebshittotally worth it, game is fucking fantastic.
None of the boss fights felt "holy shit I have to fight that!?" so far.
The one reborn feels like a Gaping Dragon rehash.
Shadow of Yharham is bell gargoyle 2.5
Am I just spoiled by Dark Souls's magnificent presentation and achievable challenge?
Bloodborne just has a "hmm preatty cool" feel to it's bosses and third time around you preatty much win.
Granted I just only beat amy..
But still at this point in DS I was still jawdropped.
>>322307701
>It's a rushed, unfinished, hastily patched together mess.
So, it's just like DaS1?
>>322303797
i'm with this >>322306053 guy, woods were second shittiest place after yahargul, IMO.
fucking loved cainhurst though, that snowy castle shit gives me a hardon, especially fighting logarius up on the roof like that.
>>322314138
Dark 1 has rushed areas, but the game as a whole is well crafted.
Dark 2 is 100% rushed areas, right down tot he basics of the combat and character control.
>>322309052
How is King's Field IV? It and Shadow Tower Abyss are the only ones I have yet to play and I've been curious how they are.
>>322314030
You are probably in ng. I beat most of the bosses in ng on first try as well, except a few like Ebrietas. Do yourself the favor and play ng+ once you're through, for me ng+ feels like the intended difficulty. Where in ng I wouldn't even notice the bosses' transformations at times, ng+ has taught me to respect what I considered pushovers in the first playthrough (hemwick witches, paarl, etc)
>>322314642
I think they're speaking purely from a spectacle standpoint, not so much about difficulty. As an example, my favorite boss in terms of spectacle would be the Tower Knight in DeS
>>322314030
The One Reborn fights nothing like the gaping dragon
Shadows fight nothing like the gargoyles
You've just played too much souls
>>322315909
>The One Reborn fights nothing like the gaping dragon
I'd say they are, seeing as how the most efficient way of killing both is to move to their side and spam attack, and moving out when it starts to stomp.
>>322302972
It is awful.
>>322302972
with old hunters it's the best in the series
without old hunters it's worse than Dark Souls 1 and severely lacks variety
>>322315909
I will list the similarities I see.
>cutscene makes you think you're going to fight something small at first
>throws up acid a fucking lot
>has a hard to tellegraph charge attack
>ToR's inner limbs harm you like Gaping's rib/teeth
>>322316372
Almost all of bloodborne's bosses are strafe left and whack it.
You're a blood guy.
>>322314398
I have never played a souls game, but the fact that you compared them to King's Field makes me want to. Shit, the Prepare to Die edition is cheap on Steam, so I might as well.
>>322302972
Mediocre at best.
Repetitive gameplay, no variety, horrible control, casual pandering combat etc.
>>322303797
Upper Ward was creepy as fuck.
>>322316502
Almost all of Dark Souls' bosses are dodge forward and whack it.
>>322316450
Old Hunters was great, but it didn't add THAT much.
BB was my GOAT to begin with, but I can't imagine how you could hate it before Old Hunters and then think it's undeniably the best afterwards.
>>322316693
I didn't hate the base game. It just desperately need the weapon variety that old hunters adds. 16 tricked weapons in the base game. Having that boost of about 11 more tricked weapons really extends the replayability and variety. This is on top of old hunters have some of the best bosses in the series.
Old hunters is probably the highest quality thing from has ever produced. If I had to rate them all, I would say
BB + OH > DaS1 PTDE > DaS1 > BB > DeS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. anything DaS2
>>322316502
It's more like, move back when his baby legs kick, then move back in. Much like Gaping Dragon, you don't really need to move much.
>baneposting
Spotted the newfag.
It's a really good game, DLC is even better, it's just jealous PCucks shitposting like mad because they don't have it (just buy a PS4, are you that fucking poor and underage?).
Hell PC has XCOM 2 I guess, go play that instead of shitposting.
>>322316931
I really liked the Sunken King DLC.
Could have taken or left the other two, although they had a few cool bosses.
>>322316569
They're wonderful games! Demon's Souls was virtually a spiritual successor to King's Field for the new generation (KFIV was a PS2 game, DeS is PS3). The only huge difference between the two games is that the Souls games are definitely more action-oriented. The elements that made KF great, such as: really cool level design, secrets, traps, etc. are all still present in the Souls series however.
>>322316569
They're the kind of games where after you play them, if you successfully get into them, everything else feels bland and shit.
