Bloodborne is absolutely unbelievable. I started the game for the first time about a year ago and didn’t play anything else for the few weeks until I got the platinum and then I was so sad when it was over. I just want more.
I love Ludwig's fight so much. Most of the bosses in this game become more erratic and wild as your fight progresses. But Ludwig does the opposite. After he sees his sword he regains some of his humanity and you two have a proper sword duel. He dies with dignity and that is beautiful.

YES!! I only have so much time to play games and I dint want to watch most of it(red dead 2, witcher 3
My dad got me Bloodborne and Sekiro for Christmas, and I’ve been loving it. I had to watch fightincowboy’s guide to figure out how to go through central Yharnum since I didn’t know what I was doing, but now I’m in the area past the portal door after you go through that school thing where the weird “amygdala” grabs you. Also, the way you described the difficulty is spot on in my experience. If I’m playing Sekiro and I’m struggling to beat a boss (like Genichiro for instance) I can keep dying to him, then randomly the fight just clicks, and I can hit all of the parries I used to think were just bullshit attack strings. It’s weird, but I love it.
I hope that all the love and attention this game is still getting after all these years will eventually push Sony to release a remaster.

The original dark souls is just really old so will definitely feel clunky. Same with DS2 DS3’s combat is my favorite since it can be so varied. Bloodborne is great and pretty different though with the Hack & Slash feel, rally mechanic to heal after getting hit, 20 blood vials, ranged parry, and the dash being a lot easier to time since you don’t roll (unless you want to roll) I think only a few DS3 weapons can give you that feeling but personally liked the varying feel both games have. (I like that the Hunter is fast & agile, while the Ashen One can be agile or in the middle or heavy)

I appreciate your love for this game. It definitely deserves it. The shadows of yharnam are a great boss though imo.
i tried playing bloodborne in 2017 and it was so hard for me cuz i couldnt get past central yharnam so i didnt touch it for years. then last year i was like i really wanna try it again and it ended up being my favorite game of all time! also has the best FS story/lore imo. gr8 video!

If you want a book that gives you a Souls/Borne feeling, read The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. He did this in the 80s, and Miyazaki was the only game dev to get wise and put that atmo into a game.
Great video, just finished my first playthrough and I can't get enough of the game. I didn't mind any of the "bad bosses" you named; instead I appreciated the variety. And for most of those, you have the option of an NPC summon if you want to make them less ganky. The Chalice Dungeons are fun during a first playthrough if you want to go hunting for better gems and loot, but once you get through the main story there's little motivation to play them and they become tedious quickly. My main negative is how few Blood Chunks and Blood Rocks you can get in a single playthrough; it would be nice to be able to experiment with other weapons more easily. But that's true of all Fromsoft games. Oh and no character respec in this one either.

I kept discovering more things so you can imagine the awe I felt when I started discovering the rest of the game, I spent hours just exploring the opening area

I love this reply. I'm someone in the "every non-Sekiro souls game" camp. I enjoy parrying but not so much that I want an entire game centered on it. I'll take agility and rolling every time.
My Bloodborne starting experience was the same way lol. It was my first From Soft game, so once I lost about 3 times to Gascoigne, I left for about 5 years, tried it again one day out of boredom, having beaten Demon Souls Remake, and wanting to like it like everyone else, and it is now my favorite From Soft game. The OST, the costume designs, the environments, the combat mechanics, the elusive story, the disquieting NPCs... I adore it so much.
amazing video man you have earned a sub and aslo Bloodborne has got to be one of the best games ever made the combat is nice and smooth the story is amazing but confusing the gothic and dark location this game takes place in really sets this game apart from other games the transforming weapons has got to be one of the best parts of this game that's what makes Bloodborne so unique from other souls games and also the outfits are amazing each outfit has his own design and feel I was also struggling the first time I played it but look at me now having beaten the game 4 times and having the platinum in just 3 months
cool video, good luck with the channel !
yupe it's also my favourite games of all time..after bloodbourne i started to love darksoul and elden ring games... first play ,after died soo many times i thought i'm gonna quit playing but turns out i'm obsessed with this games after learn the games strategy and how to become powerful hunter.. the gothic environment is one of the factors that turns me on..
This game is also my favorite game ever and you sir have done a great job of giving it justice while keeping it short. Excellent!

One thing people dont give bb's healing system is that youre healing items are kept sepearte from your inventory. Meaning you have more room to use other stuff. I can fit all my hunter tools and other items and i never have to cycle back just to switch to my healing item like with elden ring
As a fellow “brotherhood of the wolf” fan. It was nice to see that reference in there with similar feels.
How tf do you make videos for games I love & basketball?! Subbed
Your points on rally are really good but also it is additionally a tool for skilled players allowing those that know when they can take a hit and keep attacking to both regen health and deal extra damage. It can really make the game feel like a blood bath all out brawl
Fantastic video! You should make the next video about Sekiro! Looking forward to future content

Dude! Thank you. I had never played a souls game previously and had just downloaded Bloodborne with my PS Pro account a couple days ago. I rage quit yesterday twice, first after just dying over and over when starting out and then again after dying 10 times in the Father Gascoigne boss fight. Your pep talk really inspired me and reminded me how I always tell my kids that you have to be willing to be foolish at something first if you ever want to get better at it. And I’m not exactly sure what happened - maybe it just took my stress and anxiety away - but I just started it back up a few hours ago and killed my first boss on the first try (the optional one on the bridge in the first area) and then took out the Father on my second attempt. It’s like the game slowed down for me and, instead of being terrified of dying, I simply embraced the fact that I needed to to get better. Surviving the werewolf transformation for the first time was so invigorating. Thanks again!

wow I'm glad I could help. I remember a big thing that helped me was shifting my perspective on dying in the games. Realizing that it's part of the game and part of learning not a failure.

I just want to point out the chalices required for the platinum the ones most people do since unlike me most people seem to ignore the root chalice dungeons are not actually procedural. They are set in stone. They were crafted by a person and not random.
One of the only games i was dedicated to platinum, the defiled chalice was something fierce but so worth it. Love this game so much and the dlc was amazing.
"Why did Blood Vials go back to being a consumable healing item when they had already invented the Estus Flask?" This bothered me for the longest time. Like you, I could never understand why they made this seemingly bad choice. Recently it finally dawned on me. It's because of Rally, which is unique to BB. Every design choice in BB is meant to encourage aggressive play, including Rally; when you take damage, Rally will encourage you to behave offensively rather than defensively as you would in Dark Souls. And what better way to encourage this even further than to make the healing item consumable? Now, the player will REALLY prefer not to waste a consumable item, so they are even MORE likely to go on the offensive to get that health back for free.

Жыл бұрын
It is still a poor design choice in my opinion. If you learn or/and struggle with a boss you get punished even harder having to farm blood vials after a few tries if you run out of them. This quite often ruins the great boss experience you would otherwise have in this game.

@@englorious thats a possibility, yes. In practice, I personally find it extremely rare to actually run out of them. The game provides you with a ton as you explore, and then I usually buy a few with whatever I have left after leveling up. But for someone who is struggling, it can indeed be pretty punishing.
Spitting facts. I was stuck in central yarnam for so long, thinking how the hell am I going to advance in this game. After the darkbeast thunder boss, i coasted through the rest of the game. The Cainhurst Reaper boss and Ludwig gave me some trouble, but im finishing up the DLC and then going to finally beat the final boss and start my NG+
Underrated channel, you'll definitely get a lot bigger, and I believe that will happen very soon. Much love, and remember us lol
Super super dope video man! Absolutely love this game. Nothing quite like it.
You and I have the same story when it comes to Bloodborne. I was horrible at Bloodborne the very first time I played. I knew nothing about how anything worked and started to think I was being punished for dying. I had given up on it for 7 years. Then I picked it back up and started learning about the dodging and the parrying. I even realized that the reason things were getting harder was because my weapon needed to be repaired. Now I still struggle on some parts but, I can beat most bosses the first try.
The posibilty of a Bloodborne Pc Port is the reason I get up in the morning.
I I must have a good 700+ hours in bloodborne, and to this day!! I did not know you could talk to Ludwig's head with the church outfit on for dialogue! Side note, I just looked at your subs, the quality of this was so good, I just expected you to have like 70-100k at least! Oh well, add one more :)
I personally love the shadows boss fight. Only because it's the transition from gothic horror to cosmic horror.
About the Chalice Dungeons you go through to reach Queen Yarnham, those actually are handcrafted by actual humans. As for the rest, the Tomb Prospecters community discovered that they were, in fact, not procedurally generated and that there is just a ton of them. Oh, and they mapped every single one of them

I love this game. as someone who has played these games since ds1. I thought for the majority of the playthrough it was just hunters and beasts. But then the game exposes you to the cosmos. And it did all but grow eyes in my head because I was NOT expecting it. Not to mention this was the first time fromsoft had completely alien animations. Even Elden ring has very dark souls animations. AND THE MUSIC! I may be different here but this game has some of the best OSTs. and those who evaluate them can tell almost you the story of the bosses from just listening. The horn sections bring up themes of grandeur and royalty but it has an underlying deceptive nature to it. This game was one of the most original pieces of art to come from fromsoft. And that says something given it’s company. Great video you had many good points that I agree with. Btw love the final fantasy X music when you used it
Great vid bro
3:26 I agree with this point for sure. I’ve tried Bloodborne twice I think before now and each time didn’t make it to Father Gascoigne. Before my first playthrough I had played Sekiro and first tried got my PS4. I tried it again after playing Elden Ring. Both times I had trouble getting into the different weapons and combat system. Still besides Bloodborne I’ve only played Sekiro and Elden Ring both a few times and no other full FromSoft games. I’ve started Demons Souls on PS5. After I finish this playthrough of Bloodborne which I am really enjoying now that I am enjoying the combat and found a weapon I enjoy…. I’ll probably move to finish Demons Souls as well. Hopefully I’ll be able to adjust to it as well. But my original point of the comment… I definitely needed to work to learn and eventually enjoy the combat. Once I did… I really started enjoying it.

Just played through the game again, it was just as good as I remembered. I was really happy when I beat the Orphan of Kos on the first attempt, I was dreading that fight.
Bloodborne is by no means flawless, I’d say HK is the closest I’ve played to a game like that, but in art I don’t want no flaws, I just want something special. Which is why bloodborne is my favourite game ever and probably always will be
The love I have for this game is out of this world I had only played one “difficult” game prior to the souls games and it was cuphead and it left me wanting more of the same. Then I played dark souls 3 and while I was able to scrape a full playthrough of the main and both DLCs I still didn’t comprehend the full picture of souls games my next stop was bloodborne and it’s the game that made me into the monster I am today.
The insight system is the perfect video game version of the sanity system from the Cthulu games. The more you experience the more you see until you suddenly are seeing the "world" for what it is and it's horrifying.
This game looks epic! Cool video!
I love Shadows & Rom 😭 My fav’s are Ludwig & Mikolash!
People just need to understand how these games work. There is no auto save like we are all used to. You have areas with a save spot. And every time you die, you restart there. So scour the area for items, kill enemies for currency to spend on leveling up and purchases. then it’s time to fight a boss. Make sure you spent all your money so you don’t lose it all dying to the boss over and over. Once you get it, it’s the most rewarding game series. I never thought I could beat any of them now it’s the opposite. I beat them all, including DLC. You will be learning new things for years to come including story elements. And the people that play these games are a great community.
As a huge Fromsoft fanboy........... you are correct. Good video man
