Wow despite its problems it seems as though you still enjoyed it. I can't wait to get my copy around summer to play this.
Unlikely, since it was SCE Japan Studio who came to FromSoftware with the idea of Bloodborne as they wanted to work together with Hidetaka Miyazaki, as they did with Demon's Souls. Since this is the case, Sony funded most (if not all) of Bloodborne. So this is more of a Bayonetta 2 situation wherein the game wouldn't have been made in the first place.Sheo_Dagana said:
Man, Yahtzee is so unpredictable. You'd think he'd rip off Hardline's scrotum, be he just gently caressed it. You'd think he lick the armpits of Bloodborne, but he stuck a big "MEH" up it's bumhole instead.
But you can realiably count on him hissing at console games from a fortress made of pc towers, and even more when the rear wall is made of single player based story centric games with him directly pointing a canon at multiplayer ANYTHINGBob_McMillan said:
I understand that his works are subjective but it's hard to enjoy his works when 8 times out of ten the reviews usually get summed up as "it's not pc so it's shit" the remaining 2 times being split between "this game is just plain terrible and bad and you shouldn't buy it but that's okay since it makes me funnier!" and the oh so very rare "damn son this game is so fucking good I can't stop playing"
Except he said all he needed to about the Monster hunter series in MH:Tri. I'm as much of a fan of the series as anyone but really, Review one Monster hunter game You've reviewed them all.Haru17 said:

From what I heard that just nets you a load time that is MAYBE five seconds faster.Funcakes said:
I'm holding out on the hope that Sony will look back a year from now and go 'We could make a ton more money if we ported this to PC now' I'm willing to wait, honest.
That and I really don't want a PS4, not right after I just built a PC and got a Wii U last year.
The load times don't seem to bother me so much, they're certainly not 40 seconds long, maybe 20 seconds at max, but maybe I'm just more patient than most. And where are all these countless enemies stitched together from various malformed body parts Yahtzee is talking about? I'm right at the end of the game and I can recall maybe four or five enemies out of what must be 30 or 40 (including bosses) that had that sort of design. It's hardly being overused.
What I will agree with is the blood vial farming criticism - going through old areas just to farm resources is not my idea of an enjoyable time and not what makes this game so great and why I play it, so why have it in there at all? Farming for souls to get a few extra levels isn't too bad, as that's progressing my character (though even that sort of grinding I do only a little of when absolutely needed) but farming resources when you had a perfectly workable health mechanic in the Estus flask from Dark Souls? It was the wrong call for definite. Same for the lack of fast-travel between lanterns, it just doesn't make any sense.
Still, its an amazing game, these mistakes only stand out more because of it, which is a good thing. It shows how high-quality every other element of the game is.

The balance is maintained, the circle is complete!marioandsonic said:

Umm, yeah, not sure where I was going with that.
Nah, they're kind of adorable. Even the doll (the local version of the maiden type thing that does all the upgrading for you) points that out. And you can outfit them with silly little hats.Rex Dark said:

If you have a sword as ridiculous as that then it makes sense that you couldn't find a proper sheath for it. You would also be too dumb to do more than wrap a few thongs around or be able to form words well enough to ask for help. Because that's one hell of a stupid sword.Remus said:Why do so many games wrap swords in bandages? Are the swords wounded? By how some weapons are wrapped, they must be hemorrhaging, on the edge of flatline. See:
Besides which, running EVERYTHING on that SSD causes the lifespan of that SSD to drop rather dramatically and it is exceptionally poor value for money to use anything other than the OS and some frequently used programs on the SSD unless you use a HDD in conjuction for bigger, less frequently accessed stuff like media and games which is impossible on a PS4.Funcakes said:
