9.5/10 http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3336668/bloodborne-review/

 

[i-Lo]

I've been playing offline since Friday and hopped online when the servers turned on at about 6 hours ago. Can't say the load times have changed at all.

Patch was love when I first started it and there hasn't been another update since.

Thanks

So this is as long as Dark Souls, right? 50+ hours from what I gather.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Polygon really likes the game I am not seeing -a rating lower than 8

 

[Nabbis]

Well, it better be good since i basically bought my PS4 for this. Also MGS5, but they announced it on PC as well...

 

[Jawbreaker]

It varies from person to person, just like all three souls games. Some reviewers beat it in 30 hours, others were 40 hours in with a ways to go. Also keep in mind that the chalice dungeon can increase your play time if you get into it.

 

[Fiend]

That means more souls like game in the future for us. I'm in.
Bloodborne will probably be the first game I'll get for my PS4.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

The hype is real

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Fuck it, going to download it now. Going in blind, have never played a Souls game, wish me luck.

Go to the OT for help.

So this is as long as Dark Souls, right? 50+ hours from what I gather.

If you include Chalice dungeons which have unique bosses, enemies and weapons/armour than its the longest Souls game by far. 60-70 hours to complete all the set ones if my numbers are correct.

I know. I really don't wanna give them any attention but I guess just did :X

 

[Brohan]

Some of those salty user reviews must be satire.

 

[banofypie]

When is the EDGE review out? Their reviews are always a pleasure.

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Damn that's some fine review scores for this.

Welp looks like I'm forced to buy my first ever From Software game.

Going in blind folks!

Bitter people, more likely.

Either way, that stuff makes me laugh.

[DryvBy]

I'm assuming after reading that IGN review that their final score will be 8.x or something due to load times and frame rate.

What is the frame rate like for most? Sub-30fps?

 

[GlamFM]

Who's reviewing it for GB and when is the review coming?

 

[SighFight]

This guy deserves 1M sub.
All of his reviews are funny as shit.

He sure does deserve more views. While being funny and weird he is still spot on. I guess I fall into his latter category and will stay away from this game. It just does not appeal to me but I wish everyone a pleasant time.

 

[DryvBy]

I wouldn't do that. You need to expect what you're getting into or you might end up hating it like ol' HipHop gamer.

 

[NEO0MJ]

With a meta of 93, does this make BB the highest rated non-crossgen game?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I wouldn't do that. You need to expect what you're getting into or you might end up hating it like ol' HipHop gamer.

He/She will learn. If Jeff Green can do it anyone can

 

[timetokill]

Great scores. Hope I get to play it someday.

 

[Bedlam]

I wouldn't do that. You need to expect what you're getting into or you might end up hating it like ol' HipHop gamer.

Going blind into the Souls games is the best gaming experience ever. Only seek help if you're really stuck. And in that case I suggest asking fellow gamers and not turning to a guide.

He should go back to spending quality time with his son, or play Destiny, which apparently gives him the same amount of joy as the former.

 

[maquiladora]

Brad I guess?

 

[LifEndz]

Wow. Went to Amazon to purchase and they're out of stock. First exclusive mega hit for the ps4. This'll be my first souls type game since demon souls.

There will be a decent amount of people making similar comments by tomorrow night. Most games are not challenging at all.

 

[Thoraxes]

Mario 3D World is also at 93.

It also has more than double the reviews of Bloodborne.

Tied with Wii U Super Mario Bros.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Oh yeah, I forgot to check Mario. Highest I saw was Bayonetta 2 at 91 before it.

 

[Bornstellar]

Taking that a bit too personally methinks.

 

[Klart]

Those are some sweet sweet scores.

No more "PS4 has no great exclusives".

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Great scores, a real shame they couldn't nail the technical aspects.

 

[kenji_sama]

Those are some sweet sweet scores.

No more "PS4 has no great exclusives".

This turns out to be "PS4 has only one great exclusive" .

Btw, the most acclaimed PS4 game comes from Japanese dev. That's damn good.

 

[Renekton]

When is the EDGE review out? Their reviews are always a pleasure.

By pleasure you mean them giving a harsh 7/10 D:

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Amazing scores as expected! Looks like this is the real deal, after the slight disappointment that was Dark Souls 2 for me.

Definitely a reason to consider getting a PS4 sometimes soon for me.

 

[Godan]

Nice scores. Much better than what i was thinking. Going to pick this up on Monday as I am away over the weekend so wont really have anytime to play it.

 

[MormaPope]

lol, what the fuck did he do to you?

 

[Jigorath]

Uncalled for.

 

[DamagedInc]

I've only looked at the review scores and not had chance yet to read any reviews but it's great to see a game finally living up to the hype, sold!

 

[Boogalogist]

Density is THAT good, huh?

 

[aravuus]

Just woke up

Holee shit, these scores are fucking insane

 

[d9b]

Excelent scores all around! I have to wait till Friday to play :/

 

[madmackem]

Like hip hop gamer this game is going to catch a lot of people out, these games ain't for everyone just this morning I watched a twitch stream with a dude saying its shit because he couldn't equip his weapon. Gonna be a lot of uninformed people crying because the game doesn't hold their hand and point them down a corridor.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I've decided I need this game. I only played a little Dark Souls, like an hour or two. But I've never been a shield guy, always a dodgy-rolly player. This game sounds fantastic from that angle.

 

[Orniletter]

Fantastic scores !

Finally a PS4-exclusive that delivers.
