I bought the first one of these with some trepidation thinking that it probably wasn't going to be for me but everyone loved it so I gave it a go, I got bored after perhaps ten hours play and never went back to it. I did the same with the second one. This looks so pretty that I'll probably get it thinking that this time will be different and I'll stick with it. I reckon there's a less than 1% chance I'll ever finish it. |

Post subject: | Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4 |
And I think this is one of my favorite quotes from a review (From Jim Sterling) Quote: The weapons you can acquire are not as abundant as they were in previous Souls titles, but every single one is gorgeously designed and more flexible in its use. Each gun and melee weapon behaves differently, and the latter is always able to switch between two forms. One standard weapon, the Saw Cleaver, may be used as either a short-ranged hacksaw held against the forearm, or extended to produce, obviously, a cleaver. My personal favorite, Ludwig’s Sword, is a relatively unassuming longsword that makes swift attacks, with an unusually huge scabbard mounted on the Hunter’s back. When transformed, the Hunter reached behind, sticks the small sword into the scabbard and brings it forward, because that sheathe was, itself, a giant sword.
Bloodborne is a game that lets you put more sword on your sword because you need Too Much Sword. |

I have never played DeS or DaS2. I enjoyed DaS1 until I got to the second or third boss, when the cunt of a camera put me off and I never went back. I probably shouldn't buy this but by lord, the hype train has me by the balls. |

Post subject: | Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4 |
I tried and failed to play Dark Souls. Must have played over those first 30 minutes at least a dozen times. And each time I stopped because I...I don't know why. I think I was overcome by that fear I was missing things. I was doing things wrong. I was getting a half-fat experience, which I felt was a waste of the 30-odd hours the game would demand from me. All of which I know is stupid, and large part of a souls game is trying, failing, exploring, discovering, muddling through your own way. I don't like hand-holding, far from it. I just don't think I'm the right player for the game. It's not you, Mr Souls, it's me. You dirty bastard. |

Dark Souls 2 will probably turn up on PS+ for the PS4 eventually but I might not have a sub at that point. Or I could pirate a PC games for the first time in about ten years! Except that I don't really care that much. |

I don't wish to sound rude (but I'm going to anyway), but if you found TLoU too hard, don't even bother with these games. |

I'd concur. If you don't like games that will repeatedly kick you on the teeth until you've learned how to be good enough to stop them, it's not going to appeal, regardless of how much you might like the world and the like. |

Well, yeah, I totally assume this will be the case which is why I haven't bothered picking any of them up at any point. It would just be nice to at least have tried them out given how much of a talking point this series is in general over the last few years. As for that evergreen 'ha, Bamba's shit at games' meme, it's possibly worth noting that TLoU is the only game I've ever had to drop down to easy to finish since, well, since I can ever remember. So I don't know if I am generally massively cack-handed at games or was just frustrated by TLoU specifically for some reason. Not that I have an issue with that being the case if it is, I'm just not entirely convinced given that I do finish the vast majority of games I play and I do it on the normal difficulty level. Fake edit: actually, that's not true. The other games I've given up on due to, partially at least, the difficulty have been Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Dante's Inferno and Guacamelee so there's that evidence for the prosecution. |

Post subject: | Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4 |
Of those, the only one I've played was Guacamelee. Which I also gave up on. Not so much as it was too hard, but more I just didn't much like the fighting style. |

I didn't enjoy the combat style much either which was a contributing factor to my frustration. There were also a couple of platforming sections I had to practise over and over and over again to get through where you had to chain a load of different techniques together in what felt like a very small time window. I wasn't very far through at that point and assumed it was just going to get more ridiculous as time went on so just gave up. Which is a shame because after the sheer joy that was Shadow Complex I thought Guacamelee might be a genuinely decent new metroidvania to get stuck into but it wasn't for me. |

There's definitely a few puzzles that need lightning reflexes. As a DmC aficionado I was capable of pulling them off (just about). There's no penalty for death (as far as I remember) so it was never that bad anyway cause you'd revert to the room entrance. |

Post subject: | Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4 |
Guacamelee was the best non-Castlevania mmetroidvania i've ever played, and it had some of the best boss battles. Interesting that so many people didn't liked it. |
