The only Souls games I played were Demons Souls on PS3 and I got like halfway through before I got frustrated.

I played Nioh on PC for about 4 hours before I got really frustrated, but I've heard people say that Nioh is more jank than Bloodborne

I am about halfway through Ghosts of Tsushima on hard and it is tryjng me but I'm digging it still. I know not the same, but how hard is Bloodborne?

I never really put the time into making a good build with Demon soul's, and I was a lot more stupid as fast as those kinda games go.

Ive beaten the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy on normal btw. Also beaten som pretty hard SMW romhacks (look up Akogare Mario World or Grand Poo World 2).

Bloodborne is one of the best in the "series". Feels a lot better to play than demon's souls. I recommend.

It's easier than Nioh 1 imo, but if you didn't like that or Demon's Souls I can't imagine you'd like Bloodborne.

It's well worth the price, especially if it comes with the DLC. It's worth $10 at least six to eight times over.

Actually should I get that or Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen? It's half the price? I've never played either.

Isn't DD a hack and slash?

Put everything in Vitality and shoot humanoid enemies to interrupt their attacks

Your main sources of damage boost come from Bloodstone & Blood Gems, moreso than stats

Best of luck, hunter!

I think after playing 4 hour Mario levels I'm a lot more open to playing hard games and a lot more patient.

I've heard that Bloodborne is a lot more friendly for the people who like to rush through versus the defensive type playstyle, which rushing in is often my downfall in these type of games

I might buy Dragons Dogma just because it is only $5 and I know it isn't gonna be as frustrating. As much as I love Capcom I don't know why I haven't played it yet.

Is the PS4 version vastly worse than the PC? I like to have game on my PS4 because it is small and mobile and I go to my friend's house and it's easier to bring it than my PC

Elden Ring was the first FromSoft game I beat and I'm ready to make up for lost time.

This, but for $10 I say go for it. The difficulty will ramp up about halfway through though.

Bloodborne>most other games

For $10? Worth having in your collection. As someone else said, both is the answer.

People who call Bloodborne and Nioh jank sound super uptight >_>. Unless it's not being used as an insult....cause some jank usually just means "This video game actually feels like a video game and not a movie"

I listened to this audiobook on Spotify about Bloodborne and it was very cool and made me want to start a new playthrough soon!

Bloodborne is a very interesting game from many perspectives. Depending on what you know about vampires & monster hunters in fiction, and if you go into it looking for that. I think it offers a rather unparalleled experience with an eldritch twist, focused on "Beasts". Who knows. Maybe this will be a great entry for you if you aren't into that stuff.

I find Bloodborne to be both very correct, and also progressive in terms of this kind of media, even beyond video games. As a reader and a movie watcher, I dig Bloodborne. It's a property worth having an opinion on. Even if you don't like it,

IMO it picked up the pieces in a lot of places where other media left off like 15 years earlier (including werewolf hunters, and taking the Cthulhu Mythos mainstream, Victorianpunk, etc) and that's the main attraction for me. That's the best part of BB. So you don't like FromSoftware Souls games?

I find it easier to recommend Bloodborne than almost any other related media (especially a modern game) but I did play Dragon's Dogma first, so I have to wonder if that and Dark Souls II didn't color my enjoyment of it a bit, and clarify the genius of Bloodborne's epic gameplay philosophies. It's definitely an advanced game tho. Not a lot of handholding or coddling. Can't think of a better place if you wanna "get good" and Demon's Souls didn't cut it for you though. Or you just find Souls too dense as an RPG.

I think Bloodborne is a much less frustrating game and helped spark a small wave of Victorian vampire games which came after too

Coming from Demon's Souls?

The level-up system is simplfied
The movements are smoother
The equipment & defense system is simplfied
They removed the shield so you don't have to worry about standing there and tanking attacks anymore
The graphics and enemy designs are superior
The community is one of the best out there
Etc
There's a dedicated jump mechanic for platforming this time!

etc

Not to step on any toes tho, Dragon's Dogma is getting a sequel soon, so if you haven't played the original, now is a good a time as any

In Bloodborne, there is a counterattack system that allows you to recover all of your HP after being attacked, so you don't have to chug Estus and Moon Grass. What they did with the firearms is amazing too. For 15 bucks, you could basically teach yourself to crush other games like it, and have a lot of fun along the way!

People get really excited by and swear by both games as GOATs

Dragon's Dogma has some of the best monster climbing mechanics in the industry. Up there with Shadow of the Colossus. And there are monsters, dragons, chimera, and ogres to climb aplenty. Also, you can cosplay as Guts! Like, they literally have armor & weapons from Berserk in the game!

Consider looking at Sekiro after you play, if you play
