Why are people so obsessed with Bloodborne?

Everyone knew about the souls formula when DS2 released in 2014 before Bloodborne which came a year later
Lmao. Sure buddy, everyone. You know there's levels to this shit, right? Bloodborne was a major touchstone in that normalization of the souls formula, with Dark Souls 3 a year later being even bigger (which is why you can feel the impact in AAA games like Jedi Fallen Order) and then Elden Ring absolutely dwarfing everything else and making even the Fifa and CoD crowd know about Soulslikes.

btw i play it just once and platinum the base game and im here still waiting for at least some enhancement to play the dlc on ps5 but i guess im gonna wait forever. unless i play it on pc with emulation but its not the same for me :S
 
I love how people question about why people obsess with Bloodborne and yet no one here questioning why the obsession with games like Skyrim which had dog shit gameplay.
 
Played it, finished it on PS4. Honestly its just okay but yeah the obsession about it being the savior for PlayStation is just weird.
 
I spend an hour or so catching up on all of this recent stuff, this thread, the news about bluepoint, the rumours about the remake etc...

I get my tinfoil hat out bros. You know what? I been thinking.

Sony apparently OK'ed a remake but Fromsoft said no. They were apparently unhappy with Bluepoints remake and such.. What if, hear me out..

Sony wants a new exclusive like Nintendo is getting with Duskbloods. What if Fromsoft told Sony they would only do another game if they got rid of Bluepoint? Could the rivalry go that deep?

I've always felt like it was considered as the best Souls gameplay, by making it faster, riskier and without shields, it became more entertaining than the average souls gameplay.

Sekiro is Fromsoft's best game by a million miles and Miyazaki Unfiltered to me though.
 
honestly, I blame GaaS. This generation has been conditioned to think that unless a game keep getting updates ad infinitum, it's "dead".

This is so brain dead stupid, but gamers these days eat up talking about gaming news as much as they actually play, if not more.
 
+1.

Sekiro is easily From's best game and is the absolute distilled perfection of their combat mechanics.

It's also completely badass.
There's a reason why Ongbal plays all these hardcore games in the most horrifyingly insane ways and yet its always Sekiro that he comes back to.

No other game has the level of combat and can make u feel like a badass like Sekiro does.
 
Same people think old game has more "souls" than remake, tbf i doubt if bloodborne being remake now it can do better number than something like nioh 3
