Hey what's up! We're back with another Years Later Retrospective - Bloodborne! I covered this game a few years back, but I never got into much detail with it, so here we go. Yep... an hour... who here was around when my average video duration was like 5 minutes? Who'd a thunk it? What video games would you guys like me to cover next in this format? This video doesn't contain any discussion on PVP or Chalice Dungeons. Those are 100% optional, and very subjective. I like the Chalice Dungeons a lot, but they can get pretty samey after a while. But, it's a nice slice of free content that would have otherwise been ripped out of game and resold for $20 bucks. I'm looking at you at Activision and EA. PVP has never been my thing; it's, honestly, pretty gimmicky in BB with the gun mechanic and all. Sorry I don't have more to say on the matter than this. Thanks for watching all, take care.
Bloodborne is currently my favorite soul’s game (until Feb25th) but for me the biggest downside was I felt Bloodborne needed more content. I love the old hunters dlc but Bloodborne needed 1 more dlc of equal size/content.
ehhh. not really. as much as i love bloodborne it has issues alot of the fanbase refuse to admit to. from the repetitive and dull grey color scheme/environment variety to the repetitive atmosphere, low build variety and godawful pvp. the framepacing and framerate in general made combat worse than most of the other games imo. how can a game be worse than ds1 on ps3 in those regards ffs? ill always prefer ds3 and sekiro over bb for some or many of these reasons tbh. ill play bb again once they remaster it, otherwise ill probably never play it again.
love the dumbass youtubers that keep milking out the same content over and over because they have nothing original to put out, Keep seeing people making these dumb videos of (Why this game is a masterpiece), (Playing this game [insert how many years later]), (Is it how I remembered?), it's legit just dumb because they take games that are very popular and just say the same stuff that they already did in a previous video they did of it or just stuff that everybody already knows about it.
@@JBrandonMercer123 it's simply the most memorable line that encapsulates the plot. It's funny to me how people go around shitting on people without realizing they sound the fool.
The Bloodborne DLC is the greatest, most finely-crafted, most genius add on content I’ve seen in any game ever. It is difficult to overstate how clever it is, especially the unbelievably genius way it recontextualises the plot. Absolutely stunning.
The Research Hall is one of the most memorable places in any game for me. Such an awesome, disgusting, interesting premise in an already incredible game,
Bloodborne player, at first: "Okay, let's see what all the hype surrounding this game is all about." Same player, 5 hours later: "The sweet blood, oh, it sings to me! It's enough to make a man sick!" Same player, 30 hours later: **puts on Mensis Cage** "What we need... is _more eyes..."_ Same player, 100 hours later: **is literally a baby alien slug**
No more like. Player starts playing Bloodborne "How hard can it be" 20 minutes later "I wanna die irl" 😂 Haha jk. Still thou, Bloodborne is brutal compared to other souls games.
We don’t deserve Bloodborne, such an incredible masterpiece. It makes me super excited for Elden Ring, knowing the quality Miyazaki is capable of putting out.
I agree with you. For me, Elden Ring will also be the first FS game I go in blind. The rest I saw gameplays before I played them as I didnt have a ps4 at that time. But for ER, I only saw a Vaati video where he informed about where you can summon the phantoms (like the monkeys we saw in the trailer) and thats it. I am a little scared and I must stop thinking about the platinum on my 1st playthrough. Just enjoy and stop folowing a list of trophies to get. But, yes, so far Bloodborne makes me clutch my chest and shed a tear for it sooo good.
With Elden Ring coming out soon I decided to do another run on Bloodborne a couple of weeks ago. And with this new save I finally got the remaining trophies I needed and got the Platinum trophy. My proudest Platinum yet. Can't wait for Elden Ring.
@@aidenmclaughlin1076 that sht sounds so corny and weird "we don't deserve bloodborne" and why dont we deserve a video game? Lmao or are you saying that cause this same UA-camr said it and you're looking for a like? Lmao we dont deserve a video game, it's to good oh my man shut up stop playing then I'm pretty sure some of the "real" bloodborne players would agree that no one wants to cooperate with a lame softy. Guaranteed 95% of ppl that say we dont deserve "a video game" are betas that live in their parents basement.
Bloodborne is still my favourite game of all times. Sekiro is the only thing that came close...but otherwise I've never played anything like Bloodborne.
@@rickybobbyroode9814 Bloodborne is similar to the Souls, but they are very different in a lot of aspects. Different enough that is honestly not appropriate to say "Bloodborne is just another Souls game".
I agree. Elden Ring got close, but the combat and pacing in Bloodborne and Sekiro still have it higher in my mind. Now I want a Bloodborne or Sekiro sequel with Elden Ring's level design as that would be insane. Neither sequel would need to be Open World, as a linear approach would work leading to massive areas to explore both horizontally and vertically.
I mean, I can appreciate the game but I know it’s not for me. I bought it pretty early after it came out. I proceeded to die to the first wolf for the next hour. I haven’t played it since
@@UnhumanNewmanthat's unfortunate ma G you're one of the good ones who actually played it but realised its not for you and just left it be others will say bad things about the souls series just cuz of the simple fact that they died.
@@UnhumanNewman You don't have to replay it at all, you don't have to like it. But I will say, you aren't really meant to kill that wolf at the start. You can if you're experienced, but you're really meant to run past it to get to the rest of the game. That being said, the start of the game is super tough and I gave up years ago. I never beat it until this year and it is now one of my favorite games. Again, you do not have to play it but I would recommend giving it another go at some point
The thing about Living Failures and their meteor attack is that it always comes from the same direction. So if you stand behind that middle pillar it cant hit you..
i didn't see the whole video, did he really complain about that? I also didn't understand the complains about input buffering. If you don't have the timing down and accidentily dodge more than you wanted than that's just your fault, not the games.
I'll never forget running into that little cathedral filled of giant spiders hanging from the ceiling. I immediately ran out and almost had a panic attack. Lol that was straight out of one of my worst nightmares. Bloodborne is a masterpiece of cosmic horror.
I must have finished Bloodborne more than 20 times now. I keep coming back couple of times a year. I think it'll always be my favorite game. It was the reason I bought a PS4 and haven't regretted it since. Hoping Elden Ring surpasses my experience with Bloodborne but I doubt it. Bloodborne will always have a special place in my heart. It's my comfort zone for the past 6 years. Might sound weird but playing this game actually relaxes me after playing through it multiple times. Makes me feel at home.
@@hfc9991 Absolutely love Elden Ring. Have mixed feeling on some things but overall it satisfied my expectations. I haven't finished it yet but time will tell if it'll replace Bloodborne as my #1.
Same dude, it’s got a very unique feeling. Do you start new characters or have like one character on like ng+100/whatever or a bit of both?? Re elden ring: do you notice a lot of bloodborne inspiration in elden ring? Like a spiritual successor but then again all fromsoft games are spiritual successors of each other. After putting 300+ hrs in elden ring I still say bloodborne is my fav fromsoft game. We’ll have to see if any dlc comes out for elden ring
@@lewisalexander6120 I think I have like 4-5 characters in ng+3. Inspiration from their previous titles are definitely in Elden Ring. But I would have loved a faster paced combat like in Bloodborne. Slow pacing feels clunky and unfair time to time. But they are totally different games in that sense so no need to compare them on that point and be disappointed. I also loved that they ventured deep into cosmic themes in Elden Ring. It's not as preeminent as in Bloodborne but still gives you the sense of cosmic horror.
I noticed that many people that played through this game missed the hand lantern that lights up the surrounding area with out the need of holding a torch on your left hand. It only costs like 2000 blood echoes. It’s not as bright as a torch but it is still quite useful.
The evolution of perfection in action RPG gaming, best and most tense, exciting combat in a video game ever made, nothing comes close, smashes games like God Of War to pieces in terms of playability, atmosphere and gaming satisfaction. A true gaming masterpiece, one of the best video games ever made in history.
I think that sekiro's combat is at the same level as far as enjoyment and tension. With that being said bloodborne is still overall the best game i've ever played
@@papastalin7346 I disagree but each to their own, in my opinion Sekiro is too difficult and is essentially a blocking/defence combat game only. Its a crime sekiro also got game awards and BB got nothing, that is just unfair as its a superior game.
@@markfowlermusic I definetly agree that bloodborne deserved game of the year at the game awards. As for sekiro i initially thought that it was extremely hard too .But then like bloodborne and dark souls 3 something clicked.However it took way more time. Its has an extremely satisfying combat and the mechanics are very well implemented. I wouldnt call it a blocking combat game. The combat has much more to do with rythm and reaction (deflecting, attacking, jumping,using mikiri counter all at the right time, avoiding attacks etc) and to a certain degree good use of stealth. Plus the grappling hook, ninjustus, combat arts and prosthetic tools add another layer to it.I can totally understand though that it is not a game for everyone to an even greater degree than soulsborne.
@@randomloverofcheese MHW is the only system that I'd say rivals it, but miles morales... Yes very good combat, but it's not as exciting with the risk/reward as a from software title, to even mention/compare a spiderman game to BB is obscene.
Your analysis of the intro level was very good, i do have one improvement. I learned the exact opposite lesson on the bonfire enemy pack. If you are fast and aggressive enough, you can kill the packs of enemies before they have a chance to congregate, the resulting melee is against ~3 enemies plus snipers instead of 10. That part of the intro level was meant to teach aggression, because if you passively wait for each monster pack, they will gather into one large pack.
Reminds me of those mofos in DS3il in the undead city or whatever, standing around a huge piles of corpses. First try I got wrecked, second time said screw it and just went in blasting.
Everytime I get reminded of the games that fromsoft made I get more and more excited about Elden Ring. No other game franchise in history other than Souls and early CODs made me begging for more. I still play souls games even though I played 2000+ hours on each game! That's how you know it's good. + Mods make it 200x better.
A few weeks ago I finally got the Platinum for Bloodborne. I don't usually chase after Platinum trophies but for a game so near and dear to my heart I had to.
Ahh good ole Bloodborne, I remember that one. 700 hours in, ng plus so many times I lost count. Man I miss Yarhnam. I'm actually considering taking another victory lap through bb after watching this. Great video. Your experience of how you slowly got in to Bloodborne and didn't beat it initially are very similar to my own circumstances with how I came to love Bloodborne. I actually disliked it at first and quit playing for quite a while but as you said, it gave me an empty feeling and it was like the game was calling me back, I was even dreaming about it everything. I eventually started making progress and getting better and now it is definitely in my top 3 video games of all time if not my first. It's crazy to think that I almost gave up playing my favorite game of all time in the first level for many months and How lucky I am am to have decided to keep going or I would have missed out on of the best gaming experiences ever created imo. Wow, what a time. Thanks for the vid, brought back many wonderful memories.
Straight up, this was me. I quit Bloodborne 3 separate times, took breaks ranging from 6 months to a year and a half yet every time I came back and I got a little bit better. Eventually getting to the point where its now my favorite game of all time.
I remember struggling so hard in the first area and got lucky with one of the early bosses. It wasn't until I fought a boss at the top of a castle that I looked up how to beat him out of frustration and that's when I learned about i-frames. To this day, I don't know how I got that far not realizing that I-frames were a thing. That was when everything clicked and I was hooked on FromSoftware ever since.
Man any advice for navigating the early game? Tried it for the first time last month but quit when I got destroyed by some giant dude on a bridge. I wanna give it another go.
The poise mechanic is only weird and confusing in the way you describe in dark souls 2 and 3. In ds1 poise is a pretty straightforward and transparent mechanic. It's just a stat given to you by armour (there's also one Ring that gives you poise and a couple buffs that give you poise) and you can see your poise stat in the menu.
Exactly, poise in DS1 was easily understood and that’s why you saw so many Havel Moms and Giant Dads. DS2 seemed to have completely broken it though which is way meta builds that relied on poise didn’t really appear in the pvp, at least so far as I remember. And in DS3 while it was certainly better than in DS2, it was still a rather confusing, and in some ways questionably functioning system that seemed to work somewhat inconsistently.
@@stitches1110 and now, in Elden Ring, poise seems like it's garbage again because so many weapon arts and regular weapons do ridiculous poise damage. Additionally, we're back to the DS1 armour system that seems to encourage super heavy armour with light weapons, which directly punishes builds using heavy weapons. Again. Like always.
@@dinohunter6450 heavy strength weapons were always going to be struggling against that. The only way that you can correct that is to make it so that roll speed is locked to armor weight and not encumbrance. Which I think is a far more limiting system because light armored players would need to use fast weapons to not get caught during the slow swing of a heavy weapon where as heavier players would have to use heavy weapons because they need to be doing more damage than they are taking by not being able to dodge as effectively.
@@robyhentz9870 .......you do realise that sprinting, backstepping, dodging, and jumping are all mapped on circle? if you change it from "de PS menu" that will make you dodge and sprint with L3, it has to be from an in game menu so you can specifically map the jump action and only the jump action to L3, in the PS menu all you can do is change what button a certain button registers as, for example making O do the same things as X
@@wilian. Oh yeah, why would I ever want a seperate movement action, that you usually use in situations that require precise timing mind you, available only from run that you initiate with a circle, available on a tap of a stick Im already tilting to move around, You know, for convenience's sake? No, instead let's make the jump button the same circle button that You have to hold to run in the first place, so the player has to awkwardly double tap the button like a stupid, idiot, bufoon loser. That seems like a FANTASTIC idea. Yeah I hate the circle jump and died many times because of it, how could you tell?
You remember how they did it with Dark Souls? They didn’t even bother to re-skin the key bindings from xbox. It was raised middle finger to PC players. This should give you an answer…
Watching this after playing ER, I still think BB has the best world out of all fromsoft games for me personally. Now I wonder if they'll ever do a BB 2 with the level of ER and how that would look like. Amazing video btw. Made me relive the game I love so much with how detailed the video is.
Even 7 years later, Bloodborne is still my favorite FromSoft game despite me finding myself playing Dark Souls way more frequently. Eldritch horror is a personal favorite, and Dark Souls is one of my favorite games. Putting them together is a match made in heaven for me. Now if only we could get a PS5 patch or a PC release.
Something I have to say: I've played every FromSoft game extensively and I've NEVER been able to parry in any, except for Bloodborne. The gun-parry is just so much better than the shield parry.
There's a good explanation to this, actually: parrying in every other game involves matching the parry frames of your tool with the parriable frames of an attack. In bloodborne there are no parry frames, there's just a bullet, which makes it MUCH easier since you can visualize it.
There is one way you can avoid the meteorites in living failure. The meteors usually come from one direction so you can hide behind the big plant tree thingy and avoid the whole attack. I love vid! Always awesome to come back to nostalgia :)
7 years.. i haven't done my own playthrough of this masterpiece... i dont have ps4 but i do have pc i have completed DS1, DS2, DS3, Sekiro, and Demon Souls on ps3... the closest thing i have touched Bloodborne is probably the PSX or Demake version from fan one. its amazing
Every single person I've seen talking shit about Bloodborne or saying "I don't think it's my thing" have started singing completely different tune after playing it. It deadass is my favorite game ever made, an outlier in an otherwise immersive sim ruled Top 5 of mine.
Im one of those people or i used to be at least, didn't get the hype before i played it and thought it was super overrated but then i got a PS5 and managed to try it out for free with PS+ and boy was i wrong its a freakin masterpiece, after that i started playing all of the souls games from the demon souls remake all the way up to DS3 and while they were great none managed to beat bloodborne, checked the release date and saw that it came out in 2015 and started cussing out loudly like why the Fu*k does this game not have a sequel out already?! Right now im gearing up for elden ring and am pretty hyped for it but part of me really wishes they made BB2 instead of ER
I respect and admire bloodborne, but I haven't been able to get past Gascoigne once. So, I would conclude it's not for me. Dark Souls 1, on the other hand, I'm a huge fan. I haven't beaten it, but I've gotten past Ornstein and Smough at least. Another side of this is my job is stressful and exhausting enough as is. I have to be in a very specific mood to subject myself to stresses of a soulsborne game. So, I think I default to souls 1 since I know the layouts of a lot of areas.
Ya XD his whole thing on defending the frame rate reminded me SO MUCH of the devs for The Order 1886 saying that they intentionally made the game 30 fps for a more "cinematic feel" and everyone made fun of that for years, and he legit just made the same argument. Games aren't movies, they look and feel like garbage at 24 frames.
@@davenic2471 To be fair, The Order was pretty much a movie. There used to be a running joke back in the day that said 1886 was not the year the story was taking place in but the number of seconds during which you were in control of the game
The PS Now version is trash. You'd be better off buying a used PS4 and just play it offline. I honestly think we'll eventually see Bloodborne on PC given how it's pretty much Sony's only console exclusive left.
@@tylerramos7633 why do you say that? if elden ring sells millions of copies on steam they will 100% try to port. the literal bloodborne psx mod had 100k downloads in a day. i think sony has to consider it
Im a first timer, i bought it with no prior fromsoft experience, i got up to vleric beast and dropped it after not being able to kill it. A few months later i picked it up again and now, a week later im absolutely obsessed with it and it has manifested itself as my favorite game ever. Its a masterpiece.
It was the exact same for me. But when I beat it the first time. I immediately clicked new game plus and beat it 3 more times back to back. I had never done that before with any game, and haven’t done it again since
Dark Souls 3 does NOT have an uncapped frame rate. It's capped at 60fps. There's a mod that lets you uncap it though. Also, there is literally no argument for a lower frame rate. Movies are a different story, but in games you don't get better "immersion" by having your character react slower, things stutter more.
Honestly, I never agree with the arguments with the movies being 24 frames. It made sense back when film was physical reels, but I'm dead certain that a hundred years, people are going to be as baffled by 4K 24 FPS movies, as we are nowadays with those 'artistic' movies shot in black & white & mono, despite cheap color & stereo film, because that was what several generations of film makers grew up with and they thus incorporated as 'real' movies. There's no technical reasons for it anymore.
@Jinxed Swashbuckler I got lucky and managed to snag a PS5, which does manage to maintain 30fps throughout, and it's pretty night and day, even just having that consistency in the framerate.
@@LORDOFDORKNESS42 idk maybe people’s will evolve to make it look less weird as time goes on, but movies shot above the standard get a real uncanny valley sort of effect. It’s what reality tv shows are usually shot in.. it’s just too real and you lose a lot of the emotional punch that having a more dreamy cinematic feel of the 24 FPS.
This review is definitely worthy dude :D very entertaining and insightful, pretty colorful descriptions you used to describe the palette, characters and theme. Great work :)
As close as it gets to a perfect game for me. The ideal in terms of gameplay and presentation for a videogame. I think i have probably played like 500 hours and i will play 500 more
Personally I think the one game I’ve played that tops it is hollow knight but bloodborne is a close second for me. I don’t think base game bloodborne has the best bosses or areas but it has the best combat with a very solid array of areas and bosses. Honestly I think the base game has the second worst roster of bosses in the series. The dlc on the other hand has some of the best bosses in the series as well as areas and is only really even rivaled by the ringed city dlc. Besides atmosphere and combat I don’t feel the game really excels at any particular part but manages to provide a very solid experience for most categories while most other games in the series excel in one area but are lacking in others.
Used to play shooters and easy single player games only. A few days ago I bought BloodBorne and I love it already. It is hard for me but i'll accept the challenge. Am at the blood starved beast right now
I love the in-depth analysis. Even after all these years, there's something about new Bloodborne videos like this that keeps me coming back for more. Bloodborne truly is a one of a kind work of art that will continue to age like fine wine. One gripe, though - I cringe when I see people use the "pulling" strategy on the Central Yharnam mob and say that's the intended design of that encounter. I disagree, and here's the way I think it most natural and fluid to accomplish: Go up the stairs to the right, just behind the gunman sitting behind the carriage as you enter the area. Follow the walkway to the end, whereupon a break in the fence will drop you to the mouth of the large door upon which the Brick Troll bangs. Certain parts of the mob will notice you and give chase onto the walkway, allowing you to dispatch them as a small group rather than a horde. Half of the mob will have patrolled out of the area as you were fighting on the walkway, and two enemies will have patrolled into the mouth of the doorway. You can wait for them to walk back out and be oblivious to your presence as they continue to patrol before you drop from the walkway, or you can go in and kill them if you're feeling aggressive (though you risk the dog and potentially the ground-level gunman joining the fight if you choose the latter). Most likely, only the two enemies will fight you should your presence become known in the archway of the door. From here, you can then defeat the dog (preferably with Molotov cocktail or throwing knife) and ground-level gunman from behind, after which one or two other enemies around the pyre will approach you. If you can afford it, Molotov the gunman atop the carriage for a quick kill while you handle the ground forces. Otherwise, a dodge or two as the gunman shoots at you may be required as he surely will see you fighting the two ground troops. Once the ground guys are done, sprint up the stairs and murder-kill the gunman with a delightful running R2 for style. If you didn't kill the first two patrolling enemies back at the large door, you will likely have to handle them now as they will have walked up to this area (if they didn't notice you kill the dog and attack you back on the ground level). At this point, the half of the mob which patrolled out of the area will be returning, only to see their compatriots strewn dead across the plaza and your miserable frame soaked in their blood and hauntingly illuminated by the flames of the pyre. Now, the mob has been reduced to a smaller group, which you can then massacre with ease, all without relying on the cheesiness of "pulling." I prefer to play games as immersively and efficiently as possible, and pulling is one of the things that breaks immersion for me. Regardless, I like your video and appreciate the hard work you put into it. I enjoy the connection you made between 30 fps being more cinematic and even dreamlike. It makes Bloodborne look more like a painting rather than a video game. I also like the way you designed your female character for some of your clips - very fashionable.
@@dblsomeday I’m amazed someone actually read that whole thing haha. Yes, that was my first play through as well, although much clumsier. I’ve replayed Bloodborne so many times now that I forget other people have their own ways of playing it, so the pulling technique always surprises and unsettles me when I see it.
The framerate is so gruesome that I actually thought my ps4 was broken but after playing for a couple of hours you get used to it and then you barely notice it
Hey Tone, I love your gaming videos, but your cooking videos honestly gave me so much inspiration! I’d love if you’d bring back that series, they were great videos and make me take cooking more seriously
Righteous isn't a bonus against Kin, it's a bonus against a few select enemies that are deemed as opposition to the church. Mainly righteous is good against the enemies in cainhurst. In bloodborne we have serration/fire for beasts, righteous for vilebloods, and thrust/elemental for kin.
You know whats sort of mental about this game's world design? They had planned for many of the city areas to be BIGGER and more interconnected. I lurked a lot in the modding and data mining community of the soulsborne games, and you won't believe this, but Bloodborne could have been even more incredibile that It Is. Briefely listed: -the Grand cathedral was supposed to be much, much larger. You know how in the DLC you ascend the clocktower (not the astral one) above the cathedral via the Altar-elevator? That was supposed to be in-game. You know how to reach ebrietas you awkardly smash a window and then take a random elevator to an absurd Place? There used to be a second cathedral beyond and above the main One and It even had it's own area. This remains in the game in the form of a random cluster of buildings beyond the cathedral that you can see whenever you can see the cathedral from the exterior (think upper cathedral Ward or hemwick). The astral clocktower, the one you can see from back in central yahrnam, used to be much more important, and should have been accessibile in some way in the base game. Cainhurst was much bigger of and area, It Is almost certain It could have included more of the Castle walls, and an entire Wing of the Castle with an elevator shortcut. Oh, and where you fight Logarius Is actually above what was originally Annalise' throne room. If you look above from the entrance of the Castle by the bridge, you Will see a huge Building with closed but inaccessibile Doors. That's It. -This One Is very famous now, but the door from cathedral Ward to central yahrnam used to work as a shortcut. Though, It Is speculated that the other end of the great bridge could have led somewhere at some point. -Hemwick charnel lane used to be the starting area. -As you correctly assumed, Byrgenwerth was much bigger and important. It used to include the great hall and some more structures that Is now impossible to know what they were. Also, the cave with the Giants in forbidden woods was 90% located here originally, as the concept art book puts It here. -some weird sheneinegans happened with the way yahar'gul was accessed, and the placement of the old abandoned workshop. -Yahar'gul and old yahrnam have been rotated and shifted position during developement, tho this only impacts the view you can have of these areas from other areas. Brief note on the dream lands, there Is a big chance the Nightmare Frontier and the Nightmare of mensis were One big area. You probably started by amygdala's arena and worked your way up. Also, Nightmare of mensis seems quite bigger in the concept art. Finally, here Is some of my speculation. First, you know the big weird structure atop the cathedral in yahar'gul? It is made a big deal of visually, but all you can do Is reach the lantern in the balcony and take some Path from there. Well, in the concept art there Is a picture of the interior from the viewpoint of the entrance, and if you compare It side by side with how the Altar-elevator in the DLC Nightmare cathedral looks, you will see that the windows in the back (in the absid) go up in much the same way. Knowing the absurd lenght they went with the lore and visual storytelling with bloodborne and its details, I wouldn't be surprised if they at least thought of It. Second, I think they originally wanted the chalice dungeons to be accessible physically from the 'overworld'. It Is strange that this so so important place Is reacted via teleportation to me, and with how intricate yahrnam and sorroundings can get, there would have been no shortage of possible accesses. Finally (fr) I think much of all that I wrote wasnt achievable due to PS4 limitations. I Hope you found this comment interesting :) (and Sorry for WoT)
A charged heavy is not a visceral attack. The riposte after parry is known as the visceral. The locked 30 fps is not an artistic direction. The base PS4 just simply couldn't handle it. Quick step is very useful, reference vatividya or fightincowboy. It is well known that poise in DS goes up with heavy armours and rings. Living Failures meteor attack comes from the same direction every time. You can avoid them easily.
Bloodborne is my favorite video game of all time. It got me through a very dark time in my life. I found a strange comfort in it's own darkness. I have over 300 hours in it and feel like I could still play it for another 300 hours. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. Thank you.
I just bought a ps5 2 weeks ago and the art design of this game on ps plus peaked my curiosity even though it is so old. I already beated all souls games and was playing elden ring last week. This game was too brutal for me at first until i watched your video and understood game mechanics. I didn't even know u could parry with ur gun and it is something so easy to do too:) the most important tip for was dodging to the sides or front not backwards. Thank you so much i just feel im playing on easy mod after watching this and i can finally experience the best designed video game of all time in terms of art direction.
Great freaking video man, i got you in my recommended and after seeing all the hard work you've poured into making this video I immediately subscribed and want to see more of your content! Absolutely amazing stuff, may the good blood guide your way!
I feel like I understand this game now. Thank you for this video. I love the souls games but haven't made it very far on them. Understanding the mechanics now I hope to get past the learning curve. Please make a video about the mechanics of Elden Ring if you play it .
My favorite thing about the game is that it does Lovecraft better than any other game or medium to be released. It fundamentally understands the themes of cosmic horror and the terrifying nature of the unknown.
Bloodborne combat and game setting are unmatched. I like Elden Ring as the devs managed to solve a lot of problems earlier fromsoft games had, but Bloodborne is on another level despite its imperfections.
i really liked this video you did a great job of expressing your feelings for the game and mechanics. i do have three things i think i would disagree with that you said. first i dont feel like fat rolling and poise are out dated (under explained yes like a lot of things in these games) but i feel they were omitted because fromsoft wanted fast melee focused combat so they removed /limited the options to play the game otherwise. two i dont think input buffering is inherently bad, i honestly dont know it getting rid of it would be something i want as i dont know if it would make the games better even with faster framerates and such. lastly i 100 % disagree that fromsoft do not have a progressive learning curve. although the game can feel sink or swim early on, its all well crafted as you mention to teach people but also to improve your skills at a rapid pace, later levels are harder and even in the first level you can find good progression in difficulty. its all designed to push you from beginning to end but is always intended to feel accomplishable each step is just put a little further them most people comfort zone including the first levels.
Yeah, just like how rolling was essentially nerfed Sekiro, poise and fat rolling just don't make sense in Bloodborne. They at least added a shield, which can actually be useful in a handful of situations. The combat in Bloodborne and Sekiro have not been matched in any Souls/Ring game yet, but that would be difficult given the massive amount of weapon choices in those game.
@@clrl936 The remake of Demon souls will come to PC, a multimillion dollar company does not make such a mistake in a trailer that is previously reviewed by hundreds of people, they saw that PS users did not like it and they postponed it
@@telacreiste984 I dont think so. But lets see. The only reason Horizon and GoW got PC ports were because those games were about the get sequels. Sony strategy was to get the PC players experiment those franchises and then buy the PS5 to play the sequels. If we get a bloodborne 2 or demons souls 2 I can see they porting the first games before the sequels are release to expose the franchises more and build up hype. If not, I dont see them doing it with the way they've treated their IPs so far.
One thjng that made me sometimes chuckle when playing Bloodborne is when names like "Eldritch Horror" pop up. And I'm like "uuuh ok...what isn't freaking Eldritch Horror that I come across so far? You could a gave that name to like 50% of monsters in this game". Anyway, very well put together video. I'm sad you didn't actually cover the chalice dungeons as while everyone hated them I actually ended up spending like over 200+ hours diving deep DEEEEEP into them after finishing the game. I like the way they were made. I like discovering glitchy unfinished bosses because I'm so far beyond where even the game designers excpected me to venture. And I played the game as an arcane build the entire time and modified all my weapons to scale with arcane which I honestly can't say I saw anyone else do. Most people who played arcane settled on the moonlight blade or the broccoli head after all. I mained the whirly boi saw and ya...I can't wait to get it as Ihear it's in Elden Ring too!
I have been playing souls games on and off for the last 7 years, starting with Bloodborne. I am finally back into BB after a 4 or 5 year break and I finally understand this game. It is a dance - you do not mash buttons mindlessly, you flow with the movement of your character and the enemy, with every action being intentional yet happening almost always subconsciously. This is flow state in it’s most absolute form, and I wish it didn’t take me so long to figure this out.
@@Mlewdog1123 It always seemed to me from my experience and talking to friends, that your hardest fromsoft game is your first, since as you play your first one you gain a lot of the necessary skills required along the way and then when you move to your second game you’re starting with all those skills instead of building them up from nothing. I spent forever getting through blight town, and fighting the gargoyles and Sif my first time through darksouls, but with the exception of Laurence I breezed through blood borne. The only exception to this I feel is sekiro since that has a different combat system. Although again this could just be me
@@CutieCake_ yeah I played bb first and it was definitely the hardest for me. I pretty much blasted through ds1 and 2 after that. I've yet to play 3. Very interested in knowing how you found sif challenging of all bosses though.
@@CutieCake_ BB was my first. It helped me get into the souls series because it's more accessible and holds your hand more with healing. Same with my wife. She has only played a few games here and there, not really a gamer, and beat BB within a few days and couldn't beat DS remastered at all. BB is fundamentally easier with excessive blood vials and rallying alone. Parrying is spammable on so many enemies including bosses.
To anybody that plays any soulsborne type game the roll/dash isn’t delayed the sprint button is mapped to the same button therefore the s/roll start when you let go of the button not when you press it
I can understad this being an exclusive for the life of the PS4. But, at this point, anyone buying a Sony system JUST to play Bloodborne for the first time is doing so second-hand. If there are even any of those people left. However, EVERYONE who owns a PC who has already played it and paid for it once is BEGGING to pay for it again, and the fact that they won't do it is perplexing.
My guess and hope is that it's being remade entirely. The combat was designed specifically for the capped 30fps frame rate. I'm sure they already tested a 60fps patch and realized the game was much to easy with the improved frame rate so they have to rebuild it from the ground up
I only realised relatively recently that the insight feature changes how you experience different enemies and areas of the game, like low insight means you can't see the Amygdala's or the Cathedral enemies only shoot the energy balls at you on higher insight. And I think if you're insight is higher you take more frenzy damage. It really is one of those games where if you only played it once you won't have even scratched the surface of how intricate it is!
Bloodborne in my opinion is the easiest and more direct to platinum compared to dark souls, i think is better because we dont need to do multiples NG+ to pick rings or covenant quest to acquire the platinum.
Thank you so much for putting so much effort into this video. Bloodborne, by far, is my favorite game of all time. And to see someone else care as much as I do for it is nice.
While I heavely disagree with the 30 fps make for a more cinematic experiance I really enjoyed this video, well edited, super in depht and very funny overall! Well Done!
I love how every from game inspires people so heavily. This isn't just a look back at a game from years past, it's an outright love letter to bloodborne and I agree with every word. We still need a remaster with uncapped frames.
Hey what's up! We're back with another Years Later Retrospective - Bloodborne! I covered this game a few years back, but I never got into much detail with it, so here we go. Yep... an hour... who here was around when my average video duration was like 5 minutes? Who'd a thunk it?
What video games would you guys like me to cover next in this format?
This video doesn't contain any discussion on PVP or Chalice Dungeons. Those are 100% optional, and very subjective. I like the Chalice Dungeons a lot, but they can get pretty samey after a while. But, it's a nice slice of free content that would have otherwise been ripped out of game and resold for $20 bucks. I'm looking at you at Activision and EA. PVP has never been my thing; it's, honestly, pretty gimmicky in BB with the gun mechanic and all. Sorry I don't have more to say on the matter than this.
Thanks for watching all, take care.
Thanks for the deep dive, Tone. Impeccable, as always.
Did you check out the Bloodborne PS1 demake?
Oh no, long man bad. Just kidding, long man good of course.
Hell yes Tone, so keen to see a new video. Keep up the good work.

@@mr.goodcat1810 Honestly, I see all of them in there. Sekiro, DS, BB, they're all in there. It is sad to hear people saying it's another DS
Imagine making such a perfect masterpiece game that the only bad thing is the frame rate.
it's not even the 30fps. it's the wonky frame pacing. other 30fps locked games don't feel as janky as bloodborne.
Bloodborne is currently my favorite soul’s game (until Feb25th) but for me the biggest downside was I felt Bloodborne needed more content. I love the old hunters dlc but Bloodborne needed 1 more dlc of equal size/content.
The FPS makes me so sad
And being an exclusive
ehhh. not really. as much as i love bloodborne it has issues alot of the fanbase refuse to admit to. from the repetitive and dull grey color scheme/environment variety to the repetitive atmosphere, low build variety and godawful pvp. the framepacing and framerate in general made combat worse than most of the other games imo. how can a game be worse than ds1 on ps3 in those regards ffs? ill always prefer ds3 and sekiro over bb for some or many of these reasons tbh. ill play bb again once they remaster it, otherwise ill probably never play it again.
I love how every few years everyone just remembers this beautiful game and we all just stuff our head full of eyes all over again.
Fear the old blood
love the dumbass youtubers that keep milking out the same content over and over because they have nothing original to put out, Keep seeing people making these dumb videos of (Why this game is a masterpiece), (Playing this game [insert how many years later]), (Is it how I remembered?), it's legit just dumb because they take games that are very popular and just say the same stuff that they already did in a previous video they did of it or just stuff that everybody already knows about it.

We don’t deserve Bloodborne, such an incredible masterpiece. It makes me super excited for Elden Ring, knowing the quality Miyazaki is capable of putting out.
I agree with you. For me, Elden Ring will also be the first FS game I go in blind. The rest I saw gameplays before I played them as I didnt have a ps4 at that time. But for ER, I only saw a Vaati video where he informed about where you can summon the phantoms (like the monkeys we saw in the trailer) and thats it. I am a little scared and I must stop thinking about the platinum on my 1st playthrough. Just enjoy and stop folowing a list of trophies to get. But, yes, so far Bloodborne makes me clutch my chest and shed a tear for it sooo good.
@@muskularchicken I’m right there with you man!

It’s a great game but all Souls games are extremely similar. Play Souls and there you go, you have three games just like BB.
@@rickybobbyroode9814 Bloodborne is similar to the Souls, but they are very different in a lot of aspects.
Different enough that is honestly not appropriate to say "Bloodborne is just another Souls game".
@@A_d_e_k i agree. after all, we started calling them soulsborne games. it a separate entity within a family and has its own mystifying identity
I agree. Elden Ring got close, but the combat and pacing in Bloodborne and Sekiro still have it higher in my mind. Now I want a Bloodborne or Sekiro sequel with Elden Ring's level design as that would be insane. Neither sequel would need to be Open World, as a linear approach would work leading to massive areas to explore both horizontally and vertically.
@@A_d_e_k second that. They are different in the very aspects that are crucial for me to acknowledge Bloodborne as the pinnacle of FS games
You know a game is special when no matter how much you have played it you'll always have a great time with it.

@@UnhumanNewmanthat's unfortunate ma G you're one of the good ones who actually played it but realised its not for you and just left it be others will say bad things about the souls series just cuz of the simple fact that they died.
@@UnhumanNewman You don't have to replay it at all, you don't have to like it. But I will say, you aren't really meant to kill that wolf at the start.

I never beat it until this year and it is now one of my favorite games. Again, you do not have to play it but I would recommend giving it another go at some point

I must have finished Bloodborne more than 20 times now. I keep coming back couple of times a year. I think it'll always be my favorite game. It was the reason I bought a PS4 and haven't regretted it since. Hoping Elden Ring surpasses my experience with Bloodborne but I doubt it. Bloodborne will always have a special place in my heart. It's my comfort zone for the past 6 years. Might sound weird but playing this game actually relaxes me after playing through it multiple times. Makes me feel at home.
What do you think?
@@hfc9991 Absolutely love Elden Ring. Have mixed feeling on some things but overall it satisfied my expectations. I haven't finished it yet but time will tell if it'll replace Bloodborne as my #1.
Same dude, it’s got a very unique feeling. Do you start new characters or have like one character on like ng+100/whatever or a bit of both??
Re elden ring: do you notice a lot of bloodborne inspiration in elden ring? Like a spiritual successor but then again all fromsoft games are spiritual successors of each other.
After putting 300+ hrs in elden ring I still say bloodborne is my fav fromsoft game. We’ll have to see if any dlc comes out for elden ring
@@lewisalexander6120 I think I have like 4-5 characters in ng+3. Inspiration from their previous titles are definitely in Elden Ring. But I would have loved a faster paced combat like in Bloodborne. Slow pacing feels clunky and unfair time to time. But they are totally different games in that sense so no need to compare them on that point and be disappointed. I also loved that they ventured deep into cosmic themes in Elden Ring. It's not as preeminent as in Bloodborne but still gives you the sense of cosmic horror.
How's everyones feelings now
I noticed that many people that played through this game missed the hand lantern that lights up the surrounding area with out the need of holding a torch on your left hand. It only costs like 2000 blood echoes. It’s not as bright as a torch but it is still quite useful.
I think the reason people (including myself) like bloodborne so much is because it pays homage to gothic horror the best.

@@papastalin7346 I disagree but each to their own, in my opinion Sekiro is too difficult and is essentially a blocking/defence combat game only. Its a crime sekiro also got game awards and BB got nothing, that is just unfair as its a superior game.
@@markfowlermusic I definetly agree that bloodborne deserved game of the year at the game awards. As for sekiro i initially thought that it was extremely hard too .But then like bloodborne and dark souls 3 something clicked.However it took way more time. Its has an extremely satisfying combat and the mechanics are very well implemented. I wouldnt call it a blocking combat game. The combat has much more to do with rythm and reaction (deflecting, attacking, jumping,using mikiri counter all at the right time, avoiding attacks etc) and to a certain degree good use of stealth. Plus the grappling hook, ninjustus, combat arts and prosthetic tools add another layer to it.I can totally understand though that it is not a game for everyone to an even greater degree than soulsborne.
Sekiro, monster hunter world, spiderman miles morales, sifu just to name a few all have better combat systems by far
@@randomloverofcheese MHW is the only system that I'd say rivals it, but miles morales... Yes very good combat, but it's not as exciting with the risk/reward as a from software title, to even mention/compare a spiderman game to BB is obscene.

Damn right it is, this game will truly make you go through some shit lmao
That it is, I'm on my first playthrough. My 1st souls game. Luckily, I'm good at parry and rolls already.
Hell, it's a way of life.
Your analysis of the intro level was very good, i do have one improvement. I learned the exact opposite lesson on the bonfire enemy pack. If you are fast and aggressive enough, you can kill the packs of enemies before they have a chance to congregate, the resulting melee is against ~3 enemies plus snipers instead of 10. That part of the intro level was meant to teach aggression, because if you passively wait for each monster pack, they will gather into one large pack.
Reminds me of those mofos in DS3il in the undead city or whatever, standing around a huge piles of corpses. First try I got wrecked, second time said screw it and just went in blasting.
LET US CLEANSE THESE FOUL STREETS
7 years later and this game still looks as fantastic as when we first stepped into it.
Everytime I get reminded of the games that fromsoft made I get more and more excited about Elden Ring. No other game franchise in history other than Souls and early CODs made me begging for more. I still play souls games even though I played 2000+ hours on each game! That's how you know it's good. + Mods make it 200x better.
A few weeks ago I finally got the Platinum for Bloodborne. I don't usually chase after Platinum trophies but for a game so near and dear to my heart I had to.
Ahh good ole Bloodborne, I remember that one. 700 hours in, ng plus so many times I lost count. Man I miss Yarhnam. I'm actually considering taking another victory lap through bb after watching this. Great video. Your experience of how you slowly got in to Bloodborne and didn't beat it initially are very similar to my own circumstances with how I came to love Bloodborne. I actually disliked it at first and quit playing for quite a while but as you said, it gave me an empty feeling and it was like the game was calling me back, I was even dreaming about it everything. I eventually started making progress and getting better and now it is definitely in my top 3 video games of all time if not my first. It's crazy to think that I almost gave up playing my favorite game of all time in the first level for many months and How lucky I am am to have decided to keep going or I would have missed out on of the best gaming experiences ever created imo. Wow, what a time. Thanks for the vid, brought back many wonderful memories.
it calls me, every autumn.
Straight up, this was me. I quit Bloodborne 3 separate times, took breaks ranging from 6 months to a year and a half yet every time I came back and I got a little bit better. Eventually getting to the point where its now my favorite game of all time.
This was exactly my experience with dark souls 1 back in the day. Quit for a month or two and gave it another shot and it became my favorite series
I remember struggling so hard in the first area and got lucky with one of the early bosses. It wasn't until I fought a boss at the top of a castle that I looked up how to beat him out of frustration and that's when I learned about i-frames. To this day, I don't know how I got that far not realizing that I-frames were a thing. That was when everything clicked and I was hooked on FromSoftware ever since.
Man any advice for navigating the early game? Tried it for the first time last month but quit when I got destroyed by some giant dude on a bridge. I wanna give it another go.
I’ve always told my wife, “Bloodborne will be the game I show my grandkids.”
My All time favorite.Well built video!
The poise mechanic is only weird and confusing in the way you describe in dark souls 2 and 3. In ds1 poise is a pretty straightforward and transparent mechanic. It's just a stat given to you by armour (there's also one Ring that gives you poise and a couple buffs that give you poise) and you can see your poise stat in the menu.
Exactly, poise in DS1 was easily understood and that’s why you saw so many Havel Moms and Giant Dads. DS2 seemed to have completely broken it though which is way meta builds that relied on poise didn’t really appear in the pvp, at least so far as I remember. And in DS3 while it was certainly better than in DS2, it was still a rather confusing, and in some ways questionably functioning system that seemed to work somewhat inconsistently.
@@stitches1110 and now, in Elden Ring, poise seems like it's garbage again because so many weapon arts and regular weapons do ridiculous poise damage. Additionally, we're back to the DS1 armour system that seems to encourage super heavy armour with light weapons, which directly punishes builds using heavy weapons. Again. Like always.
@@dinohunter6450 heavy strength weapons were always going to be struggling against that. The only way that you can correct that is to make it so that roll speed is locked to armor weight and not encumbrance. Which I think is a far more limiting system because light armored players would need to use fast weapons to not get caught during the slow swing of a heavy weapon where as heavier players would have to use heavy weapons because they need to be doing more damage than they are taking by not being able to dodge as effectively.
I bought a PS4 just to play Bloodborne and I can honestly say it was money well spent. This game is just amazing.
My favorite game of all time. It is simply a masterpiece.

Something I have to say: I've played every FromSoft game extensively and I've NEVER been able to parry in any, except for Bloodborne. The gun-parry is just so much better than the shield parry.
There's a good explanation to this, actually: parrying in every other game involves matching the parry frames of your tool with the parriable frames of an attack. In bloodborne there are no parry frames, there's just a bullet, which makes it MUCH easier since you can visualize it.
git gud
Ong the shield parry is so garbage
There is one way you can avoid the meteorites in living failure. The meteors usually come from one direction so you can hide behind the big plant tree thingy and avoid the whole attack. I love vid! Always awesome to come back to nostalgia :)

Im one of those people or i used to be at least, didn't get the hype before i played it and thought it was super overrated but then i got a PS5 and managed to try it out for free with PS+ and boy was i wrong its a freakin masterpiece, after that i started playing all of the souls games from the demon souls remake all the way up to DS3 and while they were great none managed to beat bloodborne, checked the release date and saw that it came out in 2015 and started cussing out loudly like why the Fu*k does this game not have a sequel out already?!
Right now im gearing up for elden ring and am pretty hyped for it but part of me really wishes they made BB2 instead of ER
Yeah I've seen a few comments in the past from people who couldn't beat gascoigne so they gave up and said the game was trash.
I respect and admire bloodborne, but I haven't been able to get past Gascoigne once. So, I would conclude it's not for me. Dark Souls 1, on the other hand, I'm a huge fan. I haven't beaten it, but I've gotten past Ornstein and Smough at least.
Another side of this is my job is stressful and exhausting enough as is. I have to be in a very specific mood to subject myself to stresses of a soulsborne game. So, I think I default to souls 1 since I know the layouts of a lot of areas.
In a perfect game the music really stands out as super perfect.
I don't think frame pacing issues were a part of game's artistic direction, mate.
Ya XD his whole thing on defending the frame rate reminded me SO MUCH of the devs for The Order 1886 saying that they intentionally made the game 30 fps for a more "cinematic feel" and everyone made fun of that for years, and he legit just made the same argument. Games aren't movies, they look and feel like garbage at 24 frames.
It wouldn't be much of an issue if the framerate was stable. 30fps generally don't feel bad unless it drops even lower.
@@davenic2471 To be fair, The Order was pretty much a movie. There used to be a running joke back in the day that said 1886 was not the year the story was taking place in but the number of seconds during which you were in control of the game
THANK YOU
Lady Maria is my favorite all time fight in this game and even the Souls titles. Great video! Thanks for putting this together.
i cant believe its been 7 years!!! with each passing day, im hoping to playing it, they didnt release it for PC so my chaces are slim.
Download PlayStation plus app on your pc. You can stream it and play it.
@@Dadbot just from the playstation app? a triple A game?
@@PartyQuest well. It’s a paid subscription service but yes.
Ps now has it which you can use on pc but tbh idk how to get it to work. It just won't start on my pc.
The PS Now version is trash. You'd be better off buying a used PS4 and just play it offline.
I honestly think we'll eventually see Bloodborne on PC given how it's pretty much Sony's only console exclusive left.
They have to be working on a remaster or something.
One of the greatest games ever made, hopefully they announce a PC port once the Elden Ring hype dies down
Probably won’t happen but with PSNow you can play it on your pc.
The ps now version is a disgrace to the game with how bad it runs
@@couragetheeggplant4684 fr plus over here in Aus we don't even have PS Now
@@tylerramos7633 why do you say that? if elden ring sells millions of copies on steam they will 100% try to port. the literal bloodborne psx mod had 100k downloads in a day. i think sony has to consider it
@@phrench64 Aussie here also and had no clue what they were talking about. So big rip indeed.
Edit: Australia is usually always late to the party :(
Im a first timer, i bought it with no prior fromsoft experience, i got up to vleric beast and dropped it after not being able to kill it.
A few months later i picked it up again and now, a week later im absolutely obsessed with it and it has manifested itself as my favorite game ever. Its a masterpiece.
It was the exact same for me. But when I beat it the first time. I immediately clicked new game plus and beat it 3 more times back to back. I had never done that before with any game, and haven’t done it again since
Cleric beast crucified Jesus confirmed
Haha, same for me
Had to try more than 50 times to beat it but the satisfaction after that was definitely worth the effort
Dark Souls 3 does NOT have an uncapped frame rate. It's capped at 60fps. There's a mod that lets you uncap it though.
Also, there is literally no argument for a lower frame rate. Movies are a different story, but in games you don't get better "immersion" by having your character react slower, things stutter more.
Honestly, I never agree with the arguments with the movies being 24 frames.
It made sense back when film was physical reels, but I'm dead certain that a hundred years, people are going to be as baffled by 4K 24 FPS movies, as we are nowadays with those 'artistic' movies shot in black & white & mono, despite cheap color & stereo film, because that was what several generations of film makers grew up with and they thus incorporated as 'real' movies. There's no technical reasons for it anymore.
@Jinxed Swashbuckler I got lucky and managed to snag a PS5, which does manage to maintain 30fps throughout, and it's pretty night and day, even just having that consistency in the framerate.
@@LORDOFDORKNESS42 idk maybe people’s will evolve to make it look less weird as time goes on, but movies shot above the standard get a real uncanny valley sort of effect. It’s what reality tv shows are usually shot in.. it’s just too real and you lose a lot of the emotional punch that having a more dreamy cinematic feel of the 24 FPS.
This review is definitely worthy dude :D very entertaining and insightful, pretty colorful descriptions you used to describe the palette, characters and theme. Great work :)
As close as it gets to a perfect game for me. The ideal in terms of gameplay and presentation for a videogame. I think i have probably played like 500 hours and i will play 500 more
Personally I think the one game I’ve played that tops it is hollow knight but bloodborne is a close second for me. I don’t think base game bloodborne has the best bosses or areas but it has the best combat with a very solid array of areas and bosses. Honestly I think the base game has the second worst roster of bosses in the series. The dlc on the other hand has some of the best bosses in the series as well as areas and is only really even rivaled by the ringed city dlc. Besides atmosphere and combat I don’t feel the game really excels at any particular part but manages to provide a very solid experience for most categories while most other games in the series excel in one area but are lacking in others.
Used to play shooters and easy single player games only. A few days ago I bought BloodBorne and I love it already. It is hard for me but i'll accept the challenge. Am at the blood starved beast right now
You beat game yet?
@@BarcodeGamez yes I did! First run in about 25 hours. Im playing dark souls 3 now
fantastic video my guy! Really loved how you broke down the combat, you should compare/contrast the entire series in a separate vid
"Gone is the 30 FPS video game" someone should let Microsoft know.
I love the in-depth analysis. Even after all these years, there's something about new Bloodborne videos like this that keeps me coming back for more. Bloodborne truly is a one of a kind work of art that will continue to age like fine wine.
One gripe, though - I cringe when I see people use the "pulling" strategy on the Central Yharnam mob and say that's the intended design of that encounter. I disagree, and here's the way I think it most natural and fluid to accomplish:
Go up the stairs to the right, just behind the gunman sitting behind the carriage as you enter the area. Follow the walkway to the end, whereupon a break in the fence will drop you to the mouth of the large door upon which the Brick Troll bangs. Certain parts of the mob will notice you and give chase onto the walkway, allowing you to dispatch them as a small group rather than a horde. Half of the mob will have patrolled out of the area as you were fighting on the walkway, and two enemies will have patrolled into the mouth of the doorway. You can wait for them to walk back out and be oblivious to your presence as they continue to patrol before you drop from the walkway, or you can go in and kill them if you're feeling aggressive (though you risk the dog and potentially the ground-level gunman joining the fight if you choose the latter). Most likely, only the two enemies will fight you should your presence become known in the archway of the door. From here, you can then defeat the dog (preferably with Molotov cocktail or throwing knife) and ground-level gunman from behind, after which one or two other enemies around the pyre will approach you. If you can afford it, Molotov the gunman atop the carriage for a quick kill while you handle the ground forces. Otherwise, a dodge or two as the gunman shoots at you may be required as he surely will see you fighting the two ground troops. Once the ground guys are done, sprint up the stairs and murder-kill the gunman with a delightful running R2 for style. If you didn't kill the first two patrolling enemies back at the large door, you will likely have to handle them now as they will have walked up to this area (if they didn't notice you kill the dog and attack you back on the ground level). At this point, the half of the mob which patrolled out of the area will be returning, only to see their compatriots strewn dead across the plaza and your miserable frame soaked in their blood and hauntingly illuminated by the flames of the pyre. Now, the mob has been reduced to a smaller group, which you can then massacre with ease, all without relying on the cheesiness of "pulling."
I prefer to play games as immersively and efficiently as possible, and pulling is one of the things that breaks immersion for me. Regardless, I like your video and appreciate the hard work you put into it. I enjoy the connection you made between 30 fps being more cinematic and even dreamlike. It makes Bloodborne look more like a painting rather than a video game. I also like the way you designed your female character for some of your clips - very fashionable.
I agree, that’s pretty much exactly how it happened on my first play through.
@@dblsomeday I’m amazed someone actually read that whole thing haha. Yes, that was my first play through as well, although much clumsier. I’ve replayed Bloodborne so many times now that I forget other people have their own ways of playing it, so the pulling technique always surprises and unsettles me when I see it.
The framerate is so gruesome that I actually thought my ps4 was broken but after playing for a couple of hours you get used to it and then you barely notice it
Here's hoping for an official PC port!
@B T R When did they ever say that? But KBM has been fine since DS3, it was great in Sekiro, and is good in DS1 remastered. DS2 was bad though.
i'm pretty sure bluepoint is working on a remake for ps5 and pc
@@telacreiste984 that'd be sick!
Hey Tone, I love your gaming videos, but your cooking videos honestly gave me so much inspiration! I’d love if you’d bring back that series, they were great videos and make me take cooking more seriously
Those videos are what introduced me to Tonald. Super hilarious and actually informative at the same time.
Righteous isn't a bonus against Kin, it's a bonus against a few select enemies that are deemed as opposition to the church. Mainly righteous is good against the enemies in cainhurst.
In bloodborne we have serration/fire for beasts, righteous for vilebloods, and thrust/elemental for kin.
I recently discovered that on the lake in the fishing hamlet you can see buildings like yharnam, creating a feeling of a higher plane.
I have never seen someone defend 30fps lmao
I never revisit this masterpiece because of the frame rate
I really want to play it, but it looks like a PowerPoint even on my PS5. I guess it's just Elden Ring until some sort of update.
You know whats sort of mental about this game's world design? They had planned for many of the city areas to be BIGGER and more interconnected. I lurked a lot in the modding and data mining community of the soulsborne games, and you won't believe this, but Bloodborne could have been even more incredibile that It Is. Briefely listed:
-the Grand cathedral was supposed to be much, much larger. You know how in the DLC you ascend the clocktower (not the astral one) above the cathedral via the Altar-elevator? That was supposed to be in-game. You know how to reach ebrietas you awkardly smash a window and then take a random elevator to an absurd Place? There used to be a second cathedral beyond and above the main One and It even had it's own area. This remains in the game in the form of a random cluster of buildings beyond the cathedral that you can see whenever you can see the cathedral from the exterior (think upper cathedral Ward or hemwick). The astral clocktower, the one you can see from back in central yahrnam, used to be much more important, and should have been accessibile in some way in the base game.
Cainhurst was much bigger of and area, It Is almost certain It could have included more of the Castle walls, and an entire Wing of the Castle with an elevator shortcut. Oh, and where you fight Logarius Is actually above what was originally Annalise' throne room. If you look above from the entrance of the Castle by the bridge, you Will see a huge Building with closed but inaccessibile Doors. That's It.
-This One Is very famous now, but the door from cathedral Ward to central yahrnam used to work as a shortcut. Though, It Is speculated that the other end of the great bridge could have led somewhere at some point.
-Hemwick charnel lane used to be the starting area.
-As you correctly assumed, Byrgenwerth was much bigger and important. It used to include the great hall and some more structures that Is now impossible to know what they were. Also, the cave with the Giants in forbidden woods was 90% located here originally, as the concept art book puts It here.
-some weird sheneinegans happened with the way yahar'gul was accessed, and the placement of the old abandoned workshop.
-Yahar'gul and old yahrnam have been rotated and shifted position during developement, tho this only impacts the view you can have of these areas from other areas.
Brief note on the dream lands, there Is a big chance the Nightmare Frontier and the Nightmare of mensis were One big area. You probably started by amygdala's arena and worked your way up. Also, Nightmare of mensis seems quite bigger in the concept art.
Finally, here Is some of my speculation.
First, you know the big weird structure atop the cathedral in yahar'gul? It is made a big deal of visually, but all you can do Is reach the lantern in the balcony and take some Path from there. Well, in the concept art there Is a picture of the interior from the viewpoint of the entrance, and if you compare It side by side with how the Altar-elevator in the DLC Nightmare cathedral looks, you will see that the windows in the back (in the absid) go up in much the same way. Knowing the absurd lenght they went with the lore and visual storytelling with bloodborne and its details, I wouldn't be surprised if they at least thought of It.
Second, I think they originally wanted the chalice dungeons to be accessible physically from the 'overworld'. It Is strange that this so so important place Is reacted via teleportation to me, and with how intricate yahrnam and sorroundings can get, there would have been no shortage of possible accesses.
Finally (fr) I think much of all that I wrote wasnt achievable due to PS4 limitations. I Hope you found this comment interesting :) (and Sorry for WoT)
A charged heavy is not a visceral attack. The riposte after parry is known as the visceral. The locked 30 fps is not an artistic direction. The base PS4 just simply couldn't handle it. Quick step is very useful, reference vatividya or fightincowboy. It is well known that poise in DS goes up with heavy armours and rings. Living Failures meteor attack comes from the same direction every time. You can avoid them easily.
This video was just poorly researched in some aspects.
Here I go watching another bloodborne analysis let's gooo
Bloodborne is my favorite video game of all time. It got me through a very dark time in my life. I found a strange comfort in it's own darkness. I have over 300 hours in it and feel like I could still play it for another 300 hours. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. Thank you.
Same. Bloodborne was like playing video games for the first time again for me. Same with Breath of the Wild. Two best games of the 2010s imo.
I just bought a ps5 2 weeks ago and the art design of this game on ps plus peaked my curiosity even though it is so old. I already beated all souls games and was playing elden ring last week. This game was too brutal for me at first until i watched your video and understood game mechanics. I didn't even know u could parry with ur gun and it is something so easy to do too:) the most important tip for was dodging to the sides or front not backwards. Thank you so much i just feel im playing on easy mod after watching this and i can finally experience the best designed video game of all time in terms of art direction.
👍👍
The reasons the moonlight sword is my fav item
It has a thrust attack
A projectile
Looks cool
Strong
Big range
And the lore, best lore of all soulsborne games.
@@geovanneteixeira100 yeah
Great freaking video man, i got you in my recommended and after seeing all the hard work you've poured into making this video I immediately subscribed and want to see more of your content! Absolutely amazing stuff, may the good blood guide your way!
What's funny is how much better Bloodborne is compared to elden ring imo.
7 years later. I invest on a PS5 just to get back into Bloodborne. Thank you for this Video!
I feel like I understand this game now. Thank you for this video. I love the souls games but haven't made it very far on them. Understanding the mechanics now I hope to get past the learning curve. Please make a video about the mechanics of Elden Ring if you play it .
This reflection of Bloodborne was very well done, I’ll be looking forward to your analysis of Elden Ring in a few years time
the conflict was "betrayal." wilhem took laurence leaving as a betrayal.
My favorite thing about the game is that it does Lovecraft better than any other game or medium to be released. It fundamentally understands the themes of cosmic horror and the terrifying nature of the unknown.
Greatest game of last gen. Needs a remaster desperately
Bloodborne combat and game setting are unmatched. I like Elden Ring as the devs managed to solve a lot of problems earlier fromsoft games had, but Bloodborne is on another level despite its imperfections.
i really liked this video you did a great job of expressing your feelings for the game and mechanics. i do have three things i think i would disagree with that you said. first i dont feel like fat rolling and poise are out dated (under explained yes like a lot of things in these games) but i feel they were omitted because fromsoft wanted fast melee focused combat so they removed /limited the options to play the game otherwise. two i dont think input buffering is inherently bad, i honestly dont know it getting rid of it would be something i want as i dont know if it would make the games better even with faster framerates and such. lastly i 100 % disagree that fromsoft do not have a progressive learning curve. although the game can feel sink or swim early on, its all well crafted as you mention to teach people but also to improve your skills at a rapid pace, later levels are harder and even in the first level you can find good progression in difficulty. its all designed to push you from beginning to end but is always intended to feel accomplishable each step is just put a little further them most people comfort zone including the first levels.
Yeah, just like how rolling was essentially nerfed Sekiro, poise and fat rolling just don't make sense in Bloodborne. They at least added a shield, which can actually be useful in a handful of situations. The combat in Bloodborne and Sekiro have not been matched in any Souls/Ring game yet, but that would be difficult given the massive amount of weapon choices in those game.
It’s not just the low frame rate, it’s the bad frame pacing. God damn, this game needs a remake/remaster!!!!
7 years later, still no PC release. It's truly amazing.
I'm pretty sure bluepoint is working on a remake for ps5 and pc
@@telacreiste984 There is no reason to assume a remake would be ported to PC if the Demons Souls remake wasnt
@@clrl936 The remake of Demon souls will come to PC, a multimillion dollar company does not make such a mistake in a trailer that is previously reviewed by hundreds of people, they saw that PS users did not like it and they postponed it
@@telacreiste984 I dont think so. But lets see. The only reason Horizon and GoW got PC ports were because those games were about the get sequels. Sony strategy was to get the PC players experiment those franchises and then buy the PS5 to play the sequels. If we get a bloodborne 2 or demons souls 2 I can see they porting the first games before the sequels are release to expose the franchises more and build up hype. If not, I dont see them doing it with the way they've treated their IPs so far.
@@clrl936 uncharted...
One thjng that made me sometimes chuckle when playing Bloodborne is when names like "Eldritch Horror" pop up. And I'm like "uuuh ok...what isn't freaking Eldritch Horror that I come across so far? You could a gave that name to like 50% of monsters in this game".
Anyway, very well put together video. I'm sad you didn't actually cover the chalice dungeons as while everyone hated them I actually ended up spending like over 200+ hours diving deep DEEEEEP into them after finishing the game. I like the way they were made. I like discovering glitchy unfinished bosses because I'm so far beyond where even the game designers excpected me to venture.
And I played the game as an arcane build the entire time and modified all my weapons to scale with arcane which I honestly can't say I saw anyone else do. Most people who played arcane settled on the moonlight blade or the broccoli head after all. I mained the whirly boi saw and ya...I can't wait to get it as Ihear it's in Elden Ring too!
The absolute mental gymnastics to justify the 30fps not being so bad. Worst part is blood borne isn't even consistently able to reach that 30fps.
i adore the art and design of bloodborne, i love how it looks and feels. no other game has quite captured that perfect aesthetic for me.
Which is why I would hate if a sequel had a different setting
I have been playing souls games on and off for the last 7 years, starting with Bloodborne. I am finally back into BB after a 4 or 5 year break and I finally understand this game. It is a dance - you do not mash buttons mindlessly, you flow with the movement of your character and the enemy, with every action being intentional yet happening almost always subconsciously. This is flow state in it’s most absolute form, and I wish it didn’t take me so long to figure this out.
I started playing it yesterday god i underestimated how hard it was
It's the easiest FromSoftware game so strap in if you plan on playing the others.
@@Mlewdog1123 It always seemed to me from my experience and talking to friends, that your hardest fromsoft game is your first, since as you play your first one you gain a lot of the necessary skills required along the way and then when you move to your second game you’re starting with all those skills instead of building them up from nothing. I spent forever getting through blight town, and fighting the gargoyles and Sif my first time through darksouls, but with the exception of Laurence I breezed through blood borne. The only exception to this I feel is sekiro since that has a different combat system. Although again this could just be me
@@CutieCake_ yeah I played bb first and it was definitely the hardest for me. I pretty much blasted through ds1 and 2 after that. I've yet to play 3. Very interested in knowing how you found sif challenging of all bosses though.
@@CutieCake_ BB was my first. It helped me get into the souls series because it's more accessible and holds your hand more with healing. Same with my wife. She has only played a few games here and there, not really a gamer, and beat BB within a few days and couldn't beat DS remastered at all. BB is fundamentally easier with excessive blood vials and rallying alone. Parrying is spammable on so many enemies including bosses.
@@Mlewdog1123 Its not the easiest. The areas might be easier than some of the other games, but the bosses are much harder
To anybody that plays any soulsborne type game the roll/dash isn’t delayed the sprint button is mapped to the same button therefore the s/roll start when you let go of the button not when you press it
I can understad this being an exclusive for the life of the PS4. But, at this point, anyone buying a Sony system JUST to play Bloodborne for the first time is doing so second-hand. If there are even any of those people left. However, EVERYONE who owns a PC who has already played it and paid for it once is BEGGING to pay for it again, and the fact that they won't do it is perplexing.
If they ported God of War they'll port Bloodborne for sure
My guess and hope is that it's being remade entirely. The combat was designed specifically for the capped 30fps frame rate. I'm sure they already tested a 60fps patch and realized the game was much to easy with the improved frame rate so they have to rebuild it from the ground up
I really enjoy videos like these. You seem to find all the words I would want to use to describe this game to a friend. great stuff keep it up!!!
Higher framerate is better. I couldn't beat Ishiin on Sekiro until I played it on PS5 lol.
I only realised relatively recently that the insight feature changes how you experience different enemies and areas of the game, like low insight means you can't see the Amygdala's or the Cathedral enemies only shoot the energy balls at you on higher insight.
And I think if you're insight is higher you take more frenzy damage.
It really is one of those games where if you only played it once you won't have even scratched the surface of how intricate it is!
Elden ring don’t hit the same after I played bloodborne
trick weapons and the quick/aggressive combat style of bloodborne in elden ring would have been perfect for me.
The PVP, when it acted right, was some of the most exhilarating in the series.
It's also great when the host misbehaves. If you invade 3 and they hit you while you bow or wave, it's on. Time to punish them.
Finally got my Platinum yesterday!
Perfection. The only game I ever Platinumed. And it was on accident. I literally did everything I possibly could have on accident.
same here, lmfoa
Bloodborne in my opinion is the easiest and more direct to platinum compared to dark souls, i think is better because we dont need to do multiples NG+ to pick rings or covenant quest to acquire the platinum.
Thank you so much for putting so much effort into this video.
Bloodborne, by far, is my favorite game of all time. And to see someone else care as much as I do for it is nice.
While I heavely disagree with the 30 fps make for a more cinematic experiance I really enjoyed this video, well edited, super in depht and very funny overall!
Well Done!
I agree with him about 30 fps looking more cinematic.
I own a PS4 just because of Bloodborne, and i didnt regret it ever (got the ps4 used from a friend, but my point still stands)
Still hoping it gets a PC port...
It’s coming. Makes no sense not to put it after having God of War on PC and the enormous success FS games had since Dark Souls 3 on PC.
@@CerealKiller yeah but its a game from 2015, many people lost hope
I love how every from game inspires people so heavily. This isn't just a look back at a game from years past, it's an outright love letter to bloodborne and I agree with every word. We still need a remaster with uncapped frames.
