Bloodborne - Bloodly Dark Souls (Zero Punctuation) 

Hotsex spy yeah! me to. can't wait to play it! more dark souls please.

I always loved Yahtzee's way of describing things

Ikr

***** Which means I'm not going to play it since it's the same as Dark Souls.

Hotsex spy lol then you have not played almost any game that's not indie from this and last generation

The Rotten, The One Reborn, those fucking cages in DS3 and Godrick

You mean happy after you smack the wall at the dead end

@@DatBoi-mo9vc you mean happy after smacking every single wall leading to the dead end

Because at least the dead end didn't instakill you.

Minecraft? Any JRPG with exploratory elements?

not really. every fucking dead end means i went in a circle

Yay

And ironically they now give you more to read than the title.

@@dwhite8005 Yes it is because now the text serves less purpose than if it had been there originally.

@@dwhite8005 Y, if it been there before it would have served the purpose of distracting the player from being annoyed by the long loading times, now you barely have time to read them.

@@dwhite8005 I think you are missing the point.

Simile.

CrashSable Metaphor is used very often now, so people like this still exist i guess.

CrashSable I think it's because we use the word like to much.

+HORRIOR Did you worship papa bones today ?

Wow seeing how he didn't diminish the game before doing this review, but still even tho it was a joke, kinda still "spoiled" what type of blood your using is.

Zachar Art The last made mine ;p

Mine was at 2:35 ...ish. And yes, I'm trying to make a pattern.

Zachar Art "Ha!"?

Zachar Art But thee are no sentences since there are no punctuation marks. The whole video is the first sentence!

Zachar Art The whoel thing is one sentence.

sammeboy11 When you were Grimace for that brief time... did you make a cheeseburger? Wha wha Whaaaaaaa!

***** ME2 loading screens... now those were dark times indeed...

***** ..and what year did Mass Effect 2 come out?

Paradox Acres Considering it's a game based on the concept of learning from your mistakes, you can consider it "reflection time" and/or a "time to cool off". Not justifying it of course, but might as well look for the positives while you wait for them to fix it.

Paradox Acres January 26th, 2010

If anybody's interested, the next update coming to BB is supposed to cut down loading screens and handle the whole thing more efficiently. Just *how* efficiently is yet to be seen though.

+Stinger Johnny Eh, as best as they could have been I suppose. Loading times were only slightly reduced and having item descriptions only breaks the monotony in theory.

Really? For me the load time was only a few seconds

+Stinger Johnny too bad they never fixed the whole warping thing.

I have no idea what your talking about, warping? Im guessing it wasn't a problem for me :P

Stinger Johnny I'm talking about being forced to warp to the hunters dream instead of being able to directly warp between lanterns.

Sounds like terrible weeb shit, no thank you.

Cue to Microsoft's E3 2018 presentation...

Did you just... predict the future?

umm

@@peterheck2429 holy shit sekiro?

As someone who excels in blooding blood guys, I can confirm that this is accurate.

Wait, what's *that* smell?

@@CapraDaAlbaRegia it's blood

Reeks of blood.

who would name so many things after blood

shazb0lt its fixed

How dare you?? I remember everything, REMOVE THAT PROFILE PICTURE!!

Nice profile picture you have there bud

I'm a little late but please don't remind me of 177013. Not again

shazb0lt You get a like for a very good profile pic. I see you have a refined taste in reading, my good sir.

@@dragensen2348 I thought he was referencing demon's souls' moon grass things

Werewolves are also verrryyy lovecraft. Like pikemens model

Yes, but only when you're about 10-20 hours in. You've got the angry townsfolk, werewolves, a couple of super werewolves in graveyards and cathedrals, a deserted town with a machine gun and a big monster, another deserted town with a bunch of witches, big spooky snake forest, and then suddenly you're fighting unknowable godlike spiders, hiding from a brain in a nightmare which drives you mad if you look at it, and there's lanky eldritch bastards hanging off the walls. And all the clues are there if you go back and look for them - the lanky eldritch bastards have statues in the cathedrals, for instance - but still. If you didn't expect Lovecraft going in it would be quite a while before you spotted it.

@@Dracinard the item description of madman's knowledge is a pretty big spoiler. Considering it literally read "the great ones". I was already more than familiar with lovecraft, so after hearing that, i knew what I was getting into. Due to that for me, it was a Lovecraft experience from start, considering all of lovecraft's stories start with madness or physical transformation, both being very visible all throughout yharnam

Even funnier now 8 years on. Wonder if in a decade or so he'll have his passion for the genre re-ignited and it becomes his favorite type of game again

Nephi-O Dandy yo whatup how's Lehi-O?

A . Tingey damn i was hoping nobody would make that joke. i am not associated with that stuff at all. my name is Egyptian.

Nephi-O Dandy "fucked up monsters with hammerhead sharks instead of toe nails" is my favorite, a description he used for dark souls 3.

Really what brought their company up in Japan... Shame they've seemingly abandoned the series.

Its our time again, ARMORED CORE VI :)

@@TheBlackAshTree Armored Core VI fires of rubicon

And let's not forget METAL WOLF CHAOOOS, shall we?

Luke DiDomenico Never in a million years. EAT MY MISSLE PUNCH!

+zbo900 To be fair, King's Field, their 1995 game for the PS1, is another of the Dark Demon's Blood group, as you put it. It is literally the 1995 incarnation of the From Software game - I had my doubts when I saw the logo on the opening screen, then I played it, and after about five minutes I was like, "Yep, this is another version of the From Software game." XD

+zbo900 Also that awesome NES Zelda homage, 3D Dot Game Heroes.

Let's not forget Tenchu, Shadow Tower, and Chromehounds.

***** You, uh... Don't really understand the meaning of "time machine", do you? It doesn't matter when he said it. Either way, it was an unexpected bit of Sony-not-being-an-ass, that happened well after he wrote and recorded the clip. Well, From Software not being an ass, more likely, but either way, I am aware that it predates any reasonable way for him to learn about it. You see, Yahtzee talked about his Time Machine this time, leading to the premise of the comment. Congratulations to you, person shorter than this joke.

AusSP This video came out a week ago. You may want to check your sources before you open your mouth. Especially if it's an insult.

Nathan Cassidy What insult? I had a chuckle at Yahtzee's crass cynicism not holding up for once. You didn't even read the whole comment, and clearly didn't understand the intent. It's not like I insulted him, or said anything about his mother. Are you here to protect Yahtzee from what the mean people say?

AusSP This is the Internet. "Insult" and "Attempt to correct information" might as well be the same thing.

AusSP They said they were going to fix the loading times, the day after release...

Same, lol. Loading times way improved compared to the PS4 gameplay I saw that made me want the game. I like it and Sekiro both more than Dark Souls.

@@SolaScientia sekiro is my favorite fromsoft game

@@XillyWonka I like what I've played of it and I need to get back into it. I need to figure out how to parry properly since I'm bad at it. I also hit a wall in the form of that first chained ogre in the Ashina Outskirts area. I went and started doing the Hirata Estate in the past bit instead.

@@SolaScientia Yeah fair warning; the Hirata Estate can get a bit difficult. For the ogre though, fire works really well on him

@@XillyWonka I tried fire, but I'm super low on the talisman things for the prosthetic tools. I'd gotten the flame vent tool and bought some oil urns from the talking pot in the water, but I didn't have much luck. As for the Estate, right now I'm stuck atop a tall tower just past that bridge guarded by the two guys with the massive shields. I got up there to get to safety, then I saw just how many guys were across the bridge, and then I saved and quit, lol. there's 5 or 6 or so from what I can tell and I'm out of gourd uses. I could try to stealth past them to try to find the next statue to rest at and then retrace my steps back to there. I explored one area and the guys with spears give me trouble too.

It's one of those games where the experience is enhanced if you scream constantly while you play

@@theatomicbonbon3717 relatable

Yes but it’s stuck on the piss 4 so it can’t be played at it’s full potential

@@daneverharen1694 you can get a PC emulator if you know where your looking

@@emeraldblack842 Do you have any suggestions please? Because I sure would prefer a non-scam emulator over having to use Sony's fucking PSNow bullshit...

Tower Knight If they've already made the game, I can only imagine that they'd make more money by porting it over to other consoles. It's like filming a fantastic movie and then deciding you don't have the funds for the discs they get copied to.

Atler the Dark Depends who funded it. If it was say; EA (just an example) then yeah it would be multiplatform but since it's Sony, they've got their choker tight around FromSofts neck in order to sell it's console. And it's working.

***** LOL!

Travis Bewley It's true, ds2 was a huge dissapointment.

MrBombastic799 To you personally perhaps, but not as a matter of fact.

hahahahahaha

mikejonesnoreally so cunning you could strap a bushy tail on it and call it a fox?

capthavic And Tenchu though the King's Field games are really where the Souls ones come from. Hoping for more of pretty much all the other games still lol.

You mean blood cow.

capthavic Otogi II I'll always remember.

capthavic Metal Wolf Chaos is a From Software game? That does it, now they gotta make a Dark Souls in America game now!

capthavic I miss badass robot/mech 'slposion mashups games (Mech Warrior/Amoured Core). hopefully they make a comeback like NEStalgia games (Shovel Knight), space sims (Elite Dangerous/ FTL), Old-School FPS' (Wolfenstein/Shadow Warrior/Brutal Doom) and MetroidVania games (Ori and the Blind Forest).

Deathprone01 My guess is 0.3 nano seconds in reduction

Xecium Games ^ unless the patch fixes how shitty the PS4's hardware is, the load times aren't going to suddenly become as nice as Dark Souls 2 on PC.

Nokturnal Lex Indeed they won't. Inedd they won't

***** Much as I enjoy Souls games, I don't enjoy them enough to waste hundreds of dollars on a piece of shit toaster so I can play the newest one. I got other PC games to play in the meantime.

Before that patch the load times were 13 seconds. Big fucking deal. You're a cry baby bitch if you're gonna complain about 13 seconds.

Kurt Horsting Should've had something like the phantom views while loading.

Kurt Horsting its been patched so there are descriptions now during loading

richter3456 And? That... doesn't fix the problem... or really help it.

Read what he said. He stated "What bb did wrong was not have item descriptions during loading." And I'm simply telling him that they patched the game so now it does have the descriptions. So the problem is resolved. Not that hard to understand

richter3456 Ah, my bad. I completely blanked that part and stuck with the loading time. Sorry.

+ForeverLaxx You're an idiot...

+ForeverLaxx No he knows the difference. Both are very important to the story. Just look up the Umbilical cord item and think about the implications. That didn't spoil anything, right?

+ForeverLaxx The fact that you don't understand why I said menstruation and not ministration is enough proof you don't know Bloodborne well enough. Yeah, they're two completely different things. Menstruation blood and the Pthumerian Queen Yharnam are directly tied to the story and of blood MINISTRATION. There has been countless videos made on this theory, so to say it's "dead and stupid" simply proves you don't know what you're talking about. So before you start trying to be a smart ass, pointing out the obvious (we know dude, menstruation and ministration are two different things) maybe you could actually know about the game in question? Cheers brah.

+ForeverLaxx It's ok if you don't understand, I will help you. Just take my hand?

+ForeverLaxx You're still not learning! Brah, let it go and don't reply. I dare ya big man ;)

He's talking about The other game's not just bloodborne

You can buy healing items with currency (souls) in bb

Cami Diago Surely the currency should be blood!

Xecium Games blood echoes

yanipheonu if you heal a lot, the problem is ultimately that you are bad at the game. As always.

All Hail Glorious Masterracists Yeah yeah yeah, sure. But I can see why it would be frustrating not having replenish able health. Like Yahtzee mentioned in the video a big part of Souls is getting stuck in places and ramming your head against a wall for a while. It's unreasonable to expect a person to NEVER be hit and every hit you take in Souls games takes away a good chunk of your health. Based on what I am seeing from Bloodborne it also has less room for tanking and shielding so its even more possible that you will be losing tons of health. Granted you can get it back by being aggressive and attacking enemies to get it back. So that means you need to be able to heal, but those healing items are a pain to get. Luckily it looks like the enemies you farm the items off of drop them consistently for the most part so you don't have to grind as much as you did in DS2 trying to kill fucking Drake dudes in Shrine of Amana to get Twinkling titanite only to have them despawn so you have to bonfire aesetic the area to get more, making them a fucking PAIN IN THE ASS TO KILL IN NG+ WITH EVEN MORE STUPID POISE DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ONLY WEARING A ROBE. >.> Sorry some of my salt is showing

+Jacob Byus He meant that he would have liked not to have to enter the Hunter's Dream every time he wanted to fast-travel.

The loading screens are so short now that it is pretty much the same speed as Dark Souls overall.

+Jacob Byus *note, this review was published at least 9 months ago so it's safe to assume that he played the game during the period in which the loading times were horrifyingly long. Even I can remember that and I didn't even have a playstation 4 back then...*

Paladin Leeroy I saw them in Angry Joe's gameplay video. They were also boring (the loading screens). They used to show only the game title. Now at least they show some item descriptions while you wait.

CaitSeith I even wondered why they didn't show item descriptions like they did in Dark Souls. Bloodborne seems a bit weird because they didn't implement things that they improved on with Dark Souls 2.

it's worth it man trust me

+eNDMyLifE bOi i'm itching to buy s ps4 just for this, but then i will feel the need to justify the price of the ps4 by buying other games.

+Blaze Blue Uncharted is good, if you like cinematic, story-driven kinds of games. Best part is you can get the first three for the price of one.

Bloodborne deserves it tbh.

You, Sir, are wrong. The prices of items in the shop are NOT static. As you progress through the game/die, the in-game time moves forward into the night. The deeper into the night the game goes, the more expensive do items become. Given the fact that what Yahtzee is referring to is the situations, where you are trying to beat a boss for about a week (i.e. me and Watchdog of Old Lords) and you suddenly find your bottomless box empty with no money in the bank. If that's the case me running through the entirety of Yharnam just waving my blades of mercy to mobs and picking up the pots they drop would be faster than actually grinding blood echoes in higher level areas and risking dying on a fluke and increasing the cost of the pots altogether.

I paid 150$ for a ps4 Pro refurbished and 11$ for Bloodborne on eBay, what the fuck are you looking at LMAO.

A used PS4 is not gonna cost ANYONE $400 in this day and age

Lmfaoooo dead ass bro @@pentexsucks43

+Loyal-TF-Fan _ Yes it was hilarious, I laughed so much.

+Loyal-TF-Fan _ Improved, certainly not fixed, nowhere NEAR that. It's still excrutiatingly long, and endlessly obnoxious, even though it's more tolerable. Guess that's all they could squeeze out of the PS4.

Aedd Gynvael Oh no, if you want to complain about loading times then go on about AC: Syndicate. The worst part of it is that their is a lot of loading screens and they stick you in an area to run in, personally that just drives me insane.

Aedd Gynvael I have to say, for me it was fixed. Each for their own, I guess. :)

SuperArppis It's not a subjective preference, 30 seconds (in some situations) is still painfully bad. Hell, even chalice dungeons load slowly when you warp to them, which is completely stupid, as any one of them is way smaller than the game's world. Warping to the Hunter's Dream is way less time-consuming, but because they refuse to give you lantern teleporting and vial/bullet restocking on successful co-op or PvP, you still have to waste time traveling there and it still feels too long warping to and from. I guess that I might be less annoyed by it if I had played all the previous games on console, but the only one I did was DeS, and I don't remember it sticking to me that it loads too long. (I think it was faster than BB loads now) DkS1 and 2 on PC load for about ~3-5 seconds from when you select your character, or after you travel/respawn at a bonfire. That's what I'm used to.

*brofist*

Andrew Watson I wish From Software will give Armored Core another look-see. That game is fun and hard as all hell.

I never did play Armored Core a lot, but what I did play was awesome. I think I'll go dig up a copy at a local game shop.

Andrew Watson And they were a different time when things were different. Who'da thunk?! Nowadays PCs and consoles have interchangeable parts and From has more money than God thanks to the ginormous and obsessive Cult of Souls fanbase meaning they can p.much give that old stereo company a fond farewell.

Andrew Watson Yeah, seriously they've been doing the same game 10+ times in a row for 25 years (armored core being the exception), polishing it like a bowling ball buffer, and aged like fine wine. Yahtzee, do your research! Bah humbug!

OMG THANK YOU! No one else in this entire comment section has known about King's Field besides me! :O

Lee Ragdoll it has better weapon and enemy and boss variety tho the areas are also better put together and the move sets for weapons are just fucking badass and that's why bloodbourne is better then dark souls

Those backsteps you mentioned don´t really bother me at all. I´d rather take a lot more quality over a little more quantity, because that´s what BB gave to me. Weapons are all cool af and completely viable. Enemy design is creepy and beautiful at the same time. Game is oozing with atmosphere and all around just brilliant.

Tony I hope the PS4 has the TRIM command.

Tony from what iv heard the 40 second load times are WITH SSDs

WHAT THE FUDGE

Whilst being more expensive, with less space and minor improvement! If you've seen how much space gaming takes up these days anything under 750GB is laughable, since you can't have two hard drives in the PS4 that's a problem! Also unlike PCs and Xbones the PS4 uses SATA 2 (as previously mentioned) so it's a whole lotta money for little gain...

・ﾍﾘｵﾃﾞｨﾝ That's fine and all but SSDs will always be a viable upgrade for any hardware. If you have an SSD in your PS4 the load times will be cut almost in half, and that's incredibly significant considering the amount of times you will be expected to go through them. You are literally wasting your life the longer you have to sit through loading screens which is why I never want to go back to hard drives.

malanare He's referring to the previous games, there's an amalgam boss in pretty much every souls game i.e. Gravelord Nito, The rotten, Leechmonger etc

Not sure why he didn't just do that. Could've fought the stronger enemies and bought more blood vials with their blood echoes.

Or just dont use all your blood vials, abuse visc for full heals

AJ Nisich I'm not, exclusives are bullshit unless there is input limitations like with a Wii(mote) or PC(k&m).

Hey i want it too. Just good to see sony has something

AJ Nisich you care more for Sony's business than the consumer.. why?

AJ Nisich A timed exclusive, considering that some dedicated fans found some information for a PC port. As for sources: www.ign.com/articles/2015/03/24/amazon-france-lists-bloodborne-for-pc www.kdramastars.com/articles/80705/20150406/bloodborne-pc-release.htm But I agree that it is about time the PS4 (heck any console) got a game worth playing. The main problem that I have with it is that rather than just make good games, the companies resort to tactics that make them look pathetic and desperate because they know they are offering a product that is just flat out sucks in comparison to their competitors.

***** Actually... thats a good point. Screw this. Exclusives hurt

WeeWeeJumbo I think he just didn't beat it yet or he wouldn't have lol.

They are also extremely cheap to buy and easy to farm at the beginning of the game.
