I finally ponied up for a PS4 and I think Bloodborne might be the best Souls game in the series, rally and quickstep are both fantastic additions to the core combat system and trick weapons are extremely fun to use. The visuals & sound design are both god-tier Demons Souls level too, in retrospect I can see why people were a little lukewarm on DS3 coming off the back of this extremely powerful gaming experience.

yeah, its a class apart. ds3 was made by a different team, probably the same or similar team that did ds2. ds3 is very good though

a few months ago someone was talking about a pvp character called buff man who would just use every buff possible on itself while the opponent sat there and watched

anyway, this made me think of that

Wowee.

quote:

The Ringed City opens up on a confusing mess of upturned buildings and jagged grey terrain, where civilizations from all of time and space are converging on a single point far below the surface—what I imagine as a kind of fourth dimensional toilet flush[...] There’s still no boss in sight, and if The Ringed City is truly bigger in every way than Ashes of Ariandel—more bosses, more weapons, more areas, and more everything, as I’m told by the Bandai Namco rep on hand—then this descent might be a long one. ‘More’ sounds great, but I just hope it’s a fitting journey down.

It would be really cool if they put something from Bloodborne in.

I think the big parallel in the series tying stuff together is hollowing/beast sickness and someone played through everything up to the 1st boss of Ringed City and uploaded a vid and there are definitely what feels like some bloodborne callbacks.

i think ludwig is probably my favorite boss. artorias is definitely up there, maybe even 2. defiled amy is the biggest surge of adrenaline i've ever felt beating a souls boss.

defiled amygdala, manus, and orphan of kos are the only bosses I've spent a long, long time getting the hang of. Even Artorias was a shitload easier.

they're just so loving fast
