They teased Bloodborne with Marvelous Chester in Atorias of the Abyss, they teased Sekiro with the 'eastern hunter' in Bloodborne. They have a running trend of teasing future content in existing stuff. Buuut they also reference older stuff with things like the Moonlight Greatsword from Kings Field. Were it just the "Blood and Bones" book i would assume reference, but the doll and monster making 'contact' talking about 'an unfinished tale' and 'escaping the dream'? Bloodborne wasn't about escaping the dream. It was 'seek paleblood' and overtime you learnt about the nightmare of mensis and all the child kidnapping and shit. If anything the Blood Drunk Hunters in the Old Hunters DLC could apply to this but the doll in BB never aided them and Kos wasn't quite keeping them trapped in that layer of the dream either.

Personally im conflicted, sour grapes meme aside i genuinely consider BB the best action game made in the last ten years no question. But do we really need a sequel? look at the shitshow of DS3 and its nightmare of trying to balance story and not turn into a 'I KNOW THAT REFERENCE, I KNOW WHAT THAT THING IS!' style bullshit i dont think BB needs that. Look at online shit like the famous Paleblood Hunt essay and they story is pretty much explained. Do they need to expand on it in ways that could easily taint the purity of its self contained story?

Man i honestly don't know. But fromsoft has a 3rd game in the works, most seem to want/assume armoured core but who knows?

Bloodborne was a shallow experience even after the DLC release purely supported by a good core gameplay. It's 7/10 at best, but the absolute fanaticism it inspires in some people is a goddamn sight to behold. I mean just listen to yourself, OP. A VR experiment confirming bloodborne 2? This is beyond grasping at straws. Also,

>not turn into a 'I KNOW THAT REFERENCE, I KNOW WHAT THAT THING IS!' style bullshit

Guess you missed all that about the werewolves and the lovecraftian aliens. Literally pre-existing pop culture references.

What the fuck did you expect? You started this by overhyping the game. No shit some anons were going to disagree.

The character in this game has arms, you can make machines with arms in the Armored Core series, therefore this VR game confirms a new Armored Core game coming soon this is how retarded you sound

I know the dank souls community tears up every bit of lore they find, but call me when a new game actually comes out.

I liked Bloodborne a great deal a few years ago. The twist on Lovecraft's themes and the twist on Darksouls' game mechanics made a game greater than the sum of its parts. I don't ever want to play anything on a console locked at 30 fps with frequent stutters ever again. That is all.


897ca8  No.15733700

I'm torn. I kind of want more Souls games, BB or otherwise but at the same time I want them do move onto other things like Sekiro. Its a straight up action game, with less RPG and exploration than the Souls series. It will be interesting to see how well From Software shift fully into the character action genre, whether they will surpass some games in the genre or fall short.


339405  No.15733725

I kind of don't want another Bloodborne game just because the first one's true ending leaves stuff open for fan interpretations of what your character does next now that they're basically an infant god.

But on the other hand, seeing another region of the Bloodborne world going through a different sort of thing would be cool to see.

Personally I just want a new Armored Core or Tenchu. I still don't know how to feel about Sekiro being a spiritual successor to Tenchu.

While I hate sony for being kikes, you now can't talk about any games on their systems that were good.

I liked Bloodborne because how much new interesting things in added to the stale Souls gameplay like trick weapons, rally system, guns, and enemies stealing your souls. However I fucked hated how much less freedom you had in designing builds. No poise, only like 8 magic spells that only use 1 stat, no armor upgrading, no armor impacting rolls.

At least the trick weapons provide a lot of distinct play styles with a lot of diverse movesets but I still felt like Bloodborne is more of an action game compared to the souls series.

I am genuinely concerned about that possibility. I already try to avoid souls games on PS4 since I don't want to pay to play online, so a BB sequel locked on the console again would mean I'd miss out on either the entire thing or the entire online component. Time will tell I guess.

>>15733912

It's kinda more of an action game, but you definitely still have choices for your build. Trick weapons are great because even though there are less of them than the weapons in the souls games, they're all really unique and not just clones with slightly different hitboxes or damage values. Offhand weapons provided a bit more in the way of diversity as well, allowing you to pick from a variety of options like the flame sprayer, torch, pistol, blunderbuss, or one of the two cannons. Any of which would greatly influence how you approach combat situations. As for poise, I don't mind it being gone. Heavier weapons have hyper armour on certain attacks, and rally makes very safe to take trades. It works kinda like how it does in DS3, but in a more unified way. Similarly, one having one roll/dodge speed is also something I couldn't be upset about. It meant you didn't have to worry about one piece of armour putting you over your equip load, or having to pick between using a heavy weapon or having decent damage absorption. But, more important than either of those things, was that every boss could be designed with that dodge speed in mind. Certain bosses in the souls games feel either stupidly easily or stupidly difficult depending on which speed tier your build fell into. One of the best example is the sanctuary guardian in DS1. If you have a fast roll, it's a tight fight that feels fair. But mid or fat roll, you'll get fucking clobbered over and over. Bloodborne levels the playing field in that regard and as a result has some of the best boss fights in the whole series. Magic could definitely have been better though. It feels pretty shit as is.
