How's Bloodborne in 2023? 

Man I really should play a Souls games one of these days

bloodborne creators like this is another reason i love this game. So many people still so passionate about this game

Bloodborne and dark souls 3 helped me with my depression. I can't explain it, but i think it takes your focus off your problems and teaches you to keep trying no matter how hard it is. You eventually will triumph.

It's been years and nothing still tops Bloodborne. Goodness gracious.

I always play in October just for the vibes. Recommend 10/10 I want a sequel so badly

Bloodborne has been my first souls game and is still my favourite. Even after all my time playing it I'm still terrified of the upper cathedral ward. Those brain suckers just give me the creeps

Still my favorite Fromsoft game. At 950 hours and counting, probably my favorite game ever.

This game will never die. Even if we never get a sequel or even a remaster.

The only game I've 100%ed. Loved the gameplay. Recently learnt more about the lore. I know that Miyazaki drew upon some strong artistic influences but the overall universe, storyline and delivery of story detail and clues within the game is genius level.

The amount of people coming back myself included is insane. Normally i don't do multiple playthroughs but this is my first and i have dark souls 3 and Elden Ring (which i bought upon release)

Just started an Arcane build yesterday. This game has gotten BETTER after coming back to it after playing multiple fromsoft games *bloodborne was my introduction to fromsoft*

Just started my first play through a few days ago and it’s by far the best game ever I love it so much

Thanks for the video! Bloodborne is still my favorite souls game. Nice to see fresh takes still.

Great video! After platinum’ing, the chalice dungeons become one of my favorite things to revisit on subsequent playthroughs. Create a random one and see what’s around the corner, or farm rare blood gems.

u really appreciate the boss music in this game because the music is used sparingly, the gameplay is king, nothing really scratched the itch ever since. idk why sony is holding this game hostage and not giving us a pc port, this exclusive sold many ps4 console and sony keeps disrespecting it. #justiceforbloodborne

This was a great video man. It was in depth, analytical, and had humor mixed in. I love listening to other people review/examine one of my favorite games of all time, keep it up, i’ll subscribe too

Without even watching your video I can say it's still amazing, it's one of my all time favorites. I just played it twice a month ago. I tried an arcane build which I've never done before, it was a bit tedious but the payoff was outstanding.

Ds1 was my first, elden ring was my second only a month after beating ds1, then after 6 months of elden ring i bought Bloodborne because of all the things i had been hearing about it. Didnt like it at first cause of healing, but after a second try a few weeks later it became my favorite game of all time. Sitting at 1.8k hours rn. Done every build possible, done some challenge runs, and i love every piece of lore within the game, (and explaining it to people) masterpiece

This video is so sick! I hope you get more followers. Loved it

of all the games ive played bloodborne is probably my top 5 for favorite games ever, maybe number 1. It has everything I like in a video game, and then some. It's also a very focused experience despite the interconnected map, it didnt feel bloated. Aesthetically and narratively it is untouchable imo, as a HP lovecraft buff i like the take on cosmic horror here, while mixing it up with action. And the twist when you really learn whats happening is one of the most scariest, dreadful moments ive experienced in a video game.

One of the few games I was motivated to platinuming. I started the game a day or two before Halloween in 2015 and it blew my mind how much I loved the world. I played an arcane build and was surprised when people claimed that Orphan of Kos was one of the hardest alltime soulsborne bosses given that I beat him on my first try. On the otherhand, I spent a couple of weeks trying to beat Laurence, The First Vicar. I still have the game installed on my PS4 pro so I can occassionally log on and hang out at the Hunter's Dream with the Moonlight Melody playing. Anytime I have trouble sleeping, that track is one of my go to songs to easily fall asleep peacefully.

The reason you have to keep going back to the HUB area is because of the conversations you can have with the Doll and Gehrman, after certain events take place in game.

I’m currently playing it for the first time and I gotta say I’m having a blast!!

My favorite game of all! I'm a dodge player, and the game play makes it seamless to get out of the way! I consider this game to be a 10!

Great videos 👍 bb is still my goat fav. Terror ost at wma2 watchdog is my fav moment in gaming. That boss made me "gud" in everything in life 😅

You have the charisma and speaking ability to be a big personality on youtube Please keep at it because this video was very enjoyable

You get a sub for your opinion. Ive been playing bloodborne since im 9. Its what made me fall in love with the souls gsmes.

Bloodborne was my first Soulslike. I remember my brother bringing his PS4 over to the house and telling me to play this new game he got. I had seen him play Dark Souls 2 once before for like 10 min but it looked too “nerdy” for me (I played games like CoD, Madden and the occasional popular spg). Anyways, I played thru like half of Central Yharnam and fought the Cleric Beast. And holy crap it was an enlightening experience. I had never played a game like it and it was so refreshing. I later played DS2, quit after getting stuck in the Forest of the Fallen Giants, went back after like 6 months and clocked in over 300 hours. And the rest is history. I still need to beat Sekiro tho. That game is so hard 😭

Cool that there are other ppl enjoying BB. I'm playing the game, currently on ng++ cycle. About zones reset: might be an issue early game when you get little to no blood shards, later isn't an issue as you can stack on BHMs and use them without remorse to reset areas. About blood viles: idk, seems pretty okay-ish? In dark souls series you can't loot the estus flasks from dead bodies, so you have to be even more cautious as long as I remember correctly. It is demon's souls which is generous with stacking up herbs. You also have rally mechanic to make it more manageable. Without diving too deep, the real thing that I dislike the most is weapon upgrade mechanic: too much grind and random IMO. Also, the winter lanterns xdd... Those actually have some decent gems for weapons, so yeah. Had to grind those annoying mobs and dungeons as well.

Is my new favorite game of all time and found it after playing Lies of P.

another point to why i think bloodborne nails it with the world design is the hunters dream. the peaceful melody just feels like a real safe haven cause you know you are safe from all the horrors you see outside of it. the world of bloodborne is gruesome and horrifying and exactly that makes the hunters dream feel so special.

First thing I did upgrading to a PS5 last month was replay Bloodborne. The DLC is worth every penny.

After being introduced to FromSoftware through Elden Ring in 2022, I’ve played through each game. Even with the 30FPS, Bloodborne has the best combat & atmosphere hands down. Overall I’d say Elden Ring, BB, & DS1 are perfection. I’m also very partial to Demon’s Souls! But yeah man, even without a remaster & with the lower frames, BloodBorne is absolutely glorious.

As someone currently going through a serious chalice dungeon addiction I command you for having picked up the game again and finished it. You should join the "return to Yarnham" movement that will start in March. It's a fun event that occurs every year for people in love with bloodborne who want to experience it again with more players around.

The only thing that holds this game back for me is the 30 FPS. It genuinely causes eye strain. Outside of that, its GOATed game.

I am replaying it for the hundred time. It needs a refresh, it feels old.

I never get tired watching Bloodborne contents. 🖤

I think, because of how Bloodborne basically launched with the PS4, they had no choice but to force the loading screens between the Hunter's Dream and playable world, especially with how interconnected so many areas are. If you don't take a lamp, you can travel all the way through Iosefka's Clinic through Central Yharnam, through the sewers, past Oedon's Tomb and into Cathedral Ward into Hemwick Charnel Lane, and if you've unlocked Yaharghul, you can run through there as well, AND you can go up to Upper Cathedral Ward if you have the key. It's an absolutely huge, sprawling, connected area, but the amount of memory it would take to load and keep all of that must have been a big stress for baseline PS4. It also doesn't make much sense lore-wise to allow resting at lamps to not transport you somewhere, but I digress. I think it was more of a technical limitation than anything. I also am one of the very few people who enjoys the blood vial mechanic. I've heard every complaint, but I kind of just think Dark Souls enjoyers are spoiled and set in their ways. I don't mind farming a tiny bit, and as you get better at the game, that need disappears- the beginning farm, around Father Gascoigne most likely, helps attune you to the game. I like being able to pick up vials as I kill enemies and run through an area, instead of trudging back to a bonfire each time with hat in hand, and being forced to reset the enemies I just cleared if I want my flasks back. It also changes how you play. Do you charge in after getting hit to try and rally some health back, or do you back off and use a vial? When you have to work for each vial, that decision can be weighed differently than "oh, if I die, I can just get all my flasks back, it's not worth fighting and I should just start over." I've seen so many DS/Elden Ring players just lay down their weapons when they have a single flask or no flasks left, because they don't feel it's worth it to continue and there's no other way to regain their health. And, if you really can't be bothered to farm, I see that you've played online, which means you can get into the online chalice dungeons and can get at least 80k echoes in under a minute. If the player truly doesn't enjoy the vials system, they can eliminate it for themselves by stockpiling- by either buying or farming.

I just finished this game for the first time ever after having bought it on release when I was in highschool due to the hype around me. I lost track of how many times I deleted the game off my ps4 because I couldn’t get past the cleric beast. I hated it. I picked it up again after playing Elden Ring and Sekiro, and ended up SMASHING through this game (and found out the boss I spent 8 years rage quitting to was fucking optional). It really is such a fantastic game, my only criticism is that the big main story bosses were all incredibly easy. Including the DLC, the only boss (excepting 6 years of wipes to CB lmfao) that took me more than 5 tries was the Blood-letting Beast in the final chalice dungeon, so I wish some of those memey fights were more challenging (Rom, the tower knight reskin, witch of hemwick, celestial being, to name a few). Such a fantastic story and world though, I’m already replaying it!!!

For the run back to martyr logarius after dropping off the ledge and taking some damage try just making some blood bullets and then using a vial that way it's not such a waste. Obviously it's nice to have the extra bullets for his fight too

You bet it was perfect and till now it is perfect. My very first souls game 😍😍😍

My first time playing it was close to two months ago around mid September and 30 minutes into it. I loved it. Honestly before fromsoft makes new projects I say games like Demon souls, Sekiro and Bloodbourne deserves sequels. All three of them HONESTLY need sequels.

It's an amazing game now just as it was 2015. You would never guess its age from playing it. The graphics are still extremely good because From Soft's design team is so talented that they could even create a masterpiece painting with only 100pixels with only two different shades of yellow. Everything about this game screams perfection.

I love bloodborne, BB put me into video games. Turned me into an avid souls enjoyer, the only reason I have a PS5. EVERYONE MUST TRY THIS GAME ONCE.

Great video! How do you go the entire video not discussing the DLC? I personally found the DLC a good extension of the base game and with some of the best weapons (whirligig saw, rakuyo). Some laude the DLC as the best DLC of any game ever. Perhaps another video for you to do in the future?

It still amazes me that people criticise the blood vial system when actuallyyou can simply buy infinite blood vials right from the get go. Instead of spending all your souls on levelling up, try doing a 80/20% split. Spending 20% of your blood echoes on blood vials every time you go to level up will make sure that you never run out of them and making your life so much easier

I freaking loved amygdala in fetrid rotted cursed lol 1 hp. I freaking got so good at that fight. Literally had to play perfect. But that thing had my gem I needed

beat it 5 years ago. went back and got platinum last night. AFTER getting one in Elden Ring. Bloodborne is my first Souls game and unrivaled in almost all other categories too.

Father Gas Coin. Great video, enjoyed a lot.

really fun video. I dont understand your follower number. Your video is just better from like a bid amount of video about souls games. I hope your channel will improve

I don't know if you knew this because you didn't mention it in the video, but stock up on Bold Hunter's Mark's. Using them resets the area and puts you back at the lamp without losing any echoes. It's not the same as DS obviously, but it does the trick for farming.

This is my favorite game ever. I would pre order 2 in a heart beat

I beat it for the first time a few weeks ago. I bought the ps4 to play it in the first place way back and got stuck at rom (and because i spread my stats too much). I restarted from the very beginning and has a good time.

My first souls game and also still my fav game of all time

I'll pay for a remaster. I've been avoiding replaying it in hopes that it will be fresh by the time they release one. The framerate is the one thing holding this game back and it's crazy that they haven't made the effort yet to let us enjoy bloodborne at 60fps.

To be fair you can use bold hunter marks to reset the area. Which of course presents it's own issue having to farm to buy them.

Try some lore vids by Charred Thermos, I love his different take slightly outside of Lovercraftian influences

Elden Ring and Bloodborne are equally special in my heart. Bloodborne for the masochist in me, Elden Ring for the high fantasy.

Wow I just started playing Bloodborne two days ago, I’m in love..

Bloodborne 2023: Unrivaled Lies of P: HOLD MY BEER

I'm still playing bloodborne ever since they gave it out for free on ps plus. Mostly because I have not 100% it yet for that sweet sweet platinum

i’ve always wanted more from BB, there are many dead ends to the story that are interesting to follow through, imo the game felt more like a shelf project, rushed and never fully finished and was undermined by Sony. It is a masterpiece nevertheless and it leaves me wanting more of it. (i got it in 2015)

to reload an era you can use the bold hunter's mark ! :)

4:51 Exactly! This! I see so many people disagreeing with me but finally I found someone who does not! One of the reasons how Elden Ring could be better, is if they’d cut the music in areas and the world, because sounds and ambience creates more atmosphere than music. Besides, boss themes and bosses generally would hit harder when you don’t have constant music playing between each of them. There’s a reason that Demon’s Souls PS3, Dark Souls 1, and Bloodborne are known for having the best atmospheres in the series, a good amount of the reason is their visual artstyle, but another is because of how much they shy away from using music. Big W!

Really great video! I am on my 36th playthrough and i find it interesting what other people think about the game. Also what is the music at 24:45

20:38 bold hunters marks can reset the area, although they are a usable item which is kinda annoying

It's funny how I was really into Lords of the Fallen but only one video at the bottom of the recommended RU-vid videos on the right named: Bloodborne: Nope. Now I only watch videos and I'm OBSESSED with playing a Lovecraftian dark fantasy RPG in the streets of Victorian London. I'm just waiting to know if the 60 Fps mod is viable and maybe a PC release who knows...

Just started playing this a couple days ago, best soul's like game IMO

Nice video, couldn't disagree more about the extra damage during dashing, game gives you plenty of ways to get back your health. It punishes spam dodging. Just have to adjust and not panic. Which is pretty much the formula for success in these games.

Ijust love playing bloodborne in my room. My own vibe a warm blankey. And a hot coffe

Still phenomenal done another play through and absolutely dominated ludwig after letting my friends try for a bit.

Nothing can be close to bloodborne. I beat the game two days ago . Masterpiece ❤

Bloodborne and Sekiro are the GOATs. I got burnt out of Elden Ring after one long ass playthrough. Yet another dragon and giant filled dark medieval fantasy setting combined with identical Dark Souls rolling gameplay was so tiresome and stale. Praying for a spiritual successor or sequel to one of these games in the future.

Have you ever watched the sky in any area while making contact with the moon?

What I want to know is is it still active online I recently got bloodbourne on my ps4 and I want to do a playthrough on it but I like chaos I want to be invaded I wanna summon in co op players and I’m hoping that would still be the case in 2023 because ngl I just recently played DS3 on steam and I barely found anyone and as a result rarely got invaded as your on the bottom of the invasion pool if you don’t have a co op partner. I hope that’s not the same case for bloodbourne

Bro the dlc is a must it has the best bosses

Man i love bloodborne. And this is only base game adding the 10/10 DLC to it makes it even more of a perfect game. Still waiting on that remaster From

I've been playing it again recently Clowned on OoK using the cannon

In MY OPINION blood borne is one of my favorite games of all time. Top 3 at least. But I have to say that I have become a masocist for the bloody crow. He is brutally difficult and probably one of the hardest npc fights fromsoft have ever made, if you don’t cheese him. Which I personally never have as I didn’t know it was an opinion. However I love just how difficult of a fight he is. As someone who has played through blood borne multiple times and can beat nearly every boss first try every time. It is refreshing having an enemy that will always be there waiting for the duel of a lifetime.

I actually had no idea what from soft was about A friend at work told me bloodborne was free on PlayStation one day, so I decided to check it out. And that’s where the love affair began. I actually love it so much that I felt guilty taking it for free so I went and purchased a brand new physical copy just to give them my money. That’s how amazing this game is to me.

I still play it a few times a year for a speedrun. I ignored that its 30fps

Bloodborne was my first soulsborne and also my first platinum.

Lies of P would like to have a word with you

Gee...what an original video !

Actually, the pig chalice boss has some unique attacks, in difference from the og maneater boar

8:43 I think they want you to land on the fence to lot lose health but risk falling;)

When the heck will we get a port to pc tho? I don’t have ps5 and my ps4 is going to explode next time I turn it on

I don’t know man, I played 4 times now and I kinda hate it, and love DarkSouls but this feels super easy with the regen after hit mechanic, i suffer with the DS series but with BB I just breeze thru I will probably just give it another try but I don’t know what I haven’t got me, also armor and sets feel very samemy

That extra damage during dodging makes sense. They don’t want players to abuse the tech.

You absolutely nailed it,mate👍🏻 - imo Bloodborne is the best game ever made (ok,besides Silent Hill 2) and I put over 2.500 hrs into it. Unfortunately you can play it as much as you want to,you'll never experience the athmosphere and excitement from your first playthrough😕🤷🏻‍♂️ - however,great job,keep it on👍🏻

The most simple way I can put it is that Bloodborne's combat want you to be down right VICIOUS!

I'm confused about the "farming for healing items" just save up like 100-150K BE and buy a shit load. You hold 20 (unless you have a rune) and the rest goes into storage. Every time you go back to hunters dream it'll auto refill your inventory. Did the same for bullets, molotov, antidotes, etc.

Yes please bloodborne 2 please fromsoft gods answer our prayers.

You state you cant reset an area while on screen the hunter has a Bold Hunter Mark in the square button slot lol. Eileen gives you some right away and you can reset areas. There is no long loading while farming for vials. Central Lamp thru gate, 2 brick trolls. Then upstairs brick troll and 2 scourge beasts. Bold Mark repeat.

Its so good it doesn't need a sequel

Can we be friends pls 😂? I couldn’t agree more, all of that I’ve said previously to my friend group when I religiously was talking about the game trying to persuade them play it! Really good video dude

Bloodborne is in my top 3 games ever, The goat souls game.

Try using the wooden shield with the bloody crow of cainhurst. It blocks his gun.

Goddamn I love bloodborne. I'm also delusional. It's absolutely perfect for me and my tastes. Nothing to hate for me. A lot of people hate the dungeons but I think of it as semi-fresh content for a game that I want to keep playing. I think the consistent dungeon layouts are familiarity, not laziness. If I get bored with Irithyll dungeon, I skip to Iz. Such a great feature.

half of bloodborne is running to the boss fight the lack of campfires makes it unenjoyable
