Bloodborne review (PS4): From Software channels the spirit of Dark Souls | Digital Spy

DS:
Bloodborne, the latest release from Dark Souls developer From Software, is a game that constantly forces you to do things you don't want to, things that you're too frightened to do, things that sometimes fly in the face of Dark Souls conventions.

You don't want to confront the snarling beast waiting by the alter of a desolate cathedral, but you've got no choice; you don't want to investigate the bloodcurling shrieks and moans coming from the room below, but there's nowhere else to go.

Right...someone help me come up with an excuse to leave work early.

I call it now; highest rated metacritic game of 2015.

SaveFerris3368d ago

I think it will be between this and Ori.

Gazondaily3368d ago

Ori is at 89 on metacritic. This will be not go lower than 91.

MasterCornholio3368d ago

@Septic

Your right about that. Bloodborne already has a ton of reviews and a meta of 93. It would take a lot of low reviews to bring it below 90.

93 is a lot on metacritic and it will be difficult for anygame to come close this year.

bomajed3368d ago (Edited 3368d ago )

Bloodborn looks like a great game, it got high scores so far, but I think Witcher 3 and Batman: Arkham Knight may reach the same score or more!

WeAreLegion3368d ago

Tell them you have explosive diahhrea.

Gazondaily3368d ago

Tried that. Almost got sent to Guantanamo Bay. Never again..

Summons753368d ago

Just say you are sick (103 temp, fierce vomiting just to cover your bases)or your car broke down on the road and AAA is going to take 3 hours to get there. =]

Hellsvacancy3368d ago

Fall over "ouch I've hurt my leg, NEED to go home play... I mean, rest"

slappy5083368d ago

tell your boss "I can't come to work I have a wee cough"
then He'll reply "you have a wee cough?"
Then say "I have a week off! gee thanks boss!"

Gazondaily3368d ago

Lmao! Now that's brilliant.

affrogamer3368d ago

tell em you have bloody diarrhea LOL

nucky643368d ago

i don't know about highest rated; but, i think bloodborne and witcher3 will be in a class by themselves- maybe co-GotY

one hour before i can pick up bloodborne!

ThunderPulse3366d ago

Bloodborne is amazing, can't stop playing it. Already wrecked 5 of the bosses and each is totally epic.

kurruptor3368d ago

Halo 5 is probably the only chance to beat this (AAA title at least). First 4 games were 97, 95, 94, 87. It appears the game gets lower scores each release, so maybe not... but you never know.

Gazondaily3368d ago

Slightly controversial but I will be VERY surprised if Halo 5 gets a 90+.

It will take a lot for a FPS, especially Halo, to get high scores across the board in this day and age. Too much politics and a few haters too. Remember Quarter to Three? The guy that had ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE about Halo and gave Halo 4 a 2/10?

Drekken3368d ago

Well some of that has to do with Bungie passing the torch. Bungie knew how to make a Halo game.

uth113368d ago

Tell them you have an illness, a blood-borne illness

spicelicka3368d ago

I think this game is the highest rate game of this gen so far!

I'm dying a lot, it's too damn difficult, also there is too many buildings in Yharnam.
4/10.

SamPao3368d ago

Sounds just like a professional reviewer :D

Light,

Did you miss the plethora of articles, and advertisements talking about how difficult this game was going to be? They've been using that as one of their biggest selling points for months. They said over and over, harder than Souls. How could you not have known how tough it was going to be?

Blackleg-sanji3368d ago

Anybody else waiting for ign bullshit review? I feel like it's in progress for a reason..

Gazondaily3368d ago

Well I heard loads of people crying about how Gamespot would dock points or Gamesradar etc etc and they were the first to publish their high score reviews.

IGN tend to dole out high scores to Sony exclusives (decent ones, that stuff like The Order).

How about sequels instead of just replaying the same games with better performance and fidelity?

I would’ve taken a Dead Space 4 over Dead Space 1 Remake, especially knowing the sales on 1 Remake killed anything for the future.

xHeavYx12d ago

I agree, but there are some games that would really benefit from the new tech though, like the first 2 InFamous games. Some of the old Tenchu games (for us old people)

darthv7213d ago

No remasters needed... things can be upgraded with post release patches and DLC. There should be more new games or at least sequels that people have been asking for. Give me Bloodborne 2 over a remaster any day.

anast13d ago

I agree. But, sadly, at this point, I would day 1 a Bloodborne remake or remaster.

neutralgamer199213d ago

There are many new games being released monthly so there is space for remakes and remasters

MinnesotaFatts13d ago

You say that, but the only way I can get 60fps on Bloodborne is with a cracked console.

D0nkeyBoi13d ago

This is the most boring console generation yet. I can only ever find new games on Steam. PS5 and especially Xbox are boring right now. Less more remakes please.

anast13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

I enjoy renting a new janky CRPGs on PC from time to time. But, I've been playing new games on the PS5 since it came out, and a lot of those games people want to come to PC because the game selection sucks over there.

Fishy Fingers13d ago

PC game selection sucks?

Come on bro, its cool to like your console but but no need for the obvious passive aggressive comments. PC and Nintendo are basically the only platforms with exclusives these days. PC is getting all the big console (PS5/XB) games sooner or later.

anast13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

All the CRPGs I care to play/rent have come to console for the most part. No need to use my gaming PC much these days. Now, those old games are severely overpriced on console which would be a point to argue.

slayernz12d ago

what you on about mate???? lol, i never said anything about AAA only being on console, i replied to original post from donkey saying heaps of games out there, ....just chill out bud

slayernz13d ago

think you should open your eyes mate, there are a ton of games to play, i havent played a so called 'AAA' game in about a year, been having way too much fun with indies

anast13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

I play Indies on console. My eyes are open. You might need the eye opening if you think only AAA games are on console.

Friendlygamer13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Remasters are interesting for less accessible titles, things like silent hill 4 the room, alundra, viewtiful joe... remastering stuff that's already avaliable is a bit of a waste. I would love a kings field/shadow tower collection

truthBombs13d ago

A simple update or port on more powerful hardware is enough. Improve framerates to 60+ and that's good enough. I would love to play Bloodborne on Steam Deck.

anast13d ago

If they optimized Bloodborne like they did with Doom. I would have that game on every device in the house.
