Just came to say I am blown away
Elden Ring was my first ever FromSoft experience. It changed the way I look at gaming and I’ve sunk nearly 500hrs into it over the last couple years.
Finally decided to give Bloodborne a shot last night. At first, I thought the graphic differential with a 10yr old game might make it too difficult to play, not because of aesthetics (it still looks cool) but because precision in combat is so important in these games and I was worried the lower quality graphics by current day standards might make it frustratingly difficult to read attacks, time dodges, etc.
Within about 30minutes or so all these concerns flushed away completely. I am blown away by how fun this game is. I played for like 6 hours last night after work mostly just running around Central Yharnam, no idea where I was going, very little idea what I was even supposed to be doing other than “hunt,” and just taking ever side route I could find. Easily the most fun I’ve had and most engaged I’ve been with a game since my first Elden Ring playthrough, and I’ve played lots of games in between. Other games are just not quite the same (even when they are fantastic in their own right)
Cannot wait to discover all Bloodborne has to offer as I’m still just scratching the surface
FromSoft is. The. Shit.
