Fair enough, I definitely never beat it! I did love what I played of it though, and doing a weird dance and pretending there's no relation at all gameplay-wise between it and the Souls games seems kind of weird to me

The relation between Souls and Bloodborne is about the same as was relation between Resident Evil 2 and the original Dino Crisis. I wouldn't call Dino Crisis a Resident Evil game but it would be foolish to ignore the fact that one was built off the other and share mechanics.

So my copy of Yakuza 0 was delivered today, apparently. The only package I got from Amazon was a copy of Highlander 2: The Quickening which I haven't ordered and the game is now out of stock on their website. loving what?

It's not that they're not related, there are similar elements, but how they're handled and the way the game encourages you to engage with them are entirely different.

It's like comparing a street fighter game to something like guilty gear or blazblue. There are similar elements at play but one encourages and rewards aggression, speed, and mobility far more than the other.

I go back and forth between the PS3 and PS4 and the DS3 gets so much more life it's not even funny. I leave the DS4 plugged in permanently now.
Yeah I can leave my DS3 off the charger for weeks, and get many hours of playtime when I do use it. I got one of the stands for my PSVR that has a built-in charger so charging the DS4 isn't an issue unless I'm doing a marathon session, and then I also have a Scuf I can switch to if the DS4 dies.

Still kinda sucks, though.

Fucks sake this is really annoying though. I have to send it back to get the money in like 7 days (less if I get an amazon gift card) and then maybe manage to get it from a reseller for more than it would have cost new. Or GAME if they have it in.

Anybody know of somewhere that has any sort of discount on digital RE7 codes? I could just get it off Amazon for a discount since I have Prime, but for some reason they have digital versions of every platform except PS4 :shrug: I'd rather not get a physical copy if I don't have to.

I would honestly call BB a souls game through and through- it's has the same director and game engine for God's sake.

Not only that because it obviously builds from the previous three games branches off on its own thing, with the rally mechanic, focus on evasion and so forth as you mentioned. It's the fact that DS3 takes lessons from BB as well and injects it back into the main series- gives the gameplay that nice progression from one game to the next and helps keep things fresh.

There's not really a good comparison for what BB is. Not quite a sequel, not quite a competitor- it's not made to ever compete with the DS series like your analogy with the fighting games.

Like a weird game bastard stepchild.

This is a good way of putting it. I think it comes down to that the type of game that Dark Souls and Bloodborne are is becoming its own genre, but a lot of people have yet to think of it like that so you see a lot of "oh that's like Dark Souls, clearly it's the same thing/a copycat."

I'm really curious how you interpreted that game as a collectathon. Nothing from either the first game nor the demo indicates that at all.

Because you can (obviously) feel gravity and gravity is a danger. It's why flying around as Superman in a game will never feel as fun as something like getting huge air in jumps or webswinging or flying a plane.

I got Yakuza today and went to install and boot it up. The hard drive started making noise like crazy on my Pro. I have no idea if i can just hear it more noticeably because it's on the table right in front of me, but it's really weird. No other game I have on disc has done this. I assume it's because of all the movie data it needs to display? The game seems to work fine, otherwise.

It was my loving birthday present to myself as well is the cherry on top. I get a lot of joy from stuff going to poo poo so I am kinda cracking up about it myself. Still was looking forward to beating up some Yakuza goons tonight though and hope the price of the game doesn't go up too much while I do the Amazon return bullshit.

It all started because I said Uncharted is the best exclusive on the PS4 because it is more accessible to a general audience. I didn't even say BB was a bad game. I said they were the two best games, but one was better because more people would like it. Souls fans are very strange and protective.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
This is cool. I put the RE7 disc in my OG PS4 and the console now sounds like a prop plane. It's vibrating harder than ever before and the disc isn't even doing anything; it's all installed, it's just making a racket even when the disc aught to be idle.
