Bloodborne is pretty alright so far. Exploration and combat is sweet but the boss battles are just tedious and I feel the game would almost be better without them. It's like this annoying thing you have to pass every hour or so, just so you can get back to the actual cool stuff. At least they look cool. At least place a checkpoint or something before the boss rooms. Running the same route and killing the same enemies again and again is neither challenging nor fun. It's just annoying and tedious.
Overall I feel the game is great, perhaps even quite amazing when you're just exploring new areas, but it hardly makes every other game out there seem boring in comparison.

Killed my first boss in Bloodborne. Like this A LOT better than DS so far.

is that the kid that shot a bunch of people in cali a year or two ago?

An hour or so. Depends on your playstyle. You can go guns toking but that feels like cheating.MGS Ground Zeroes would be so much better if it didn't try so hard to be grim and edgy. Still a pretty enjoyable stealth game though.
I just started playing it, how long is it?
There are some things absent in it that are making it less fun for me compared to previous mgs games... I wanna hear the guys say "huh... what was that noise?" lol. It's not metal gear without it!
And I miss the Alert/caution meter, it made it more tense. Now it's just like I kind of sit in the shadows and the guys go away.

A new game every two to three years is hardly milking it. Not to mention that it won't be a direct sequel either.

No no not that guy. He kicked my ass once and I never returned. The one I'm talking about is inside an old church or something. Right before you reach the blacksmith. He wasn't hard to kill at all, just really intimidating to look at.
Black Knight? Alone at the top of a short, small tower? He's so great when you first encounter him. Just fucking destroyed me...kept coming back to him and finally felt like a king when I first took him down. Black Knight armor was my favorite in the game, most likely because of that.No idea why I keep returning to Dark Souls. Finally figured out the combat (I think) and made it to a blacksmith. Also killed some tall guy in black armor and unlocked an elevator back to the starting area. Yasss.

We need a thread tbh. I would make one but I don't have thread-editing powers anymore, which would be kind of handy in a thread like that. To update the OP with conference times etc.
I'll make a thread as we get closer to E3 :)
Yassss.

They could re-release Fallout 3 with a new map and I'd still be excited. It's Bethesda.

Wowsa, looks amazing!

unholy feck i got platinum trophee on mortal kombat x, my first one ever
-
I killed mom for the very first time on Binding of Isaac. Still feel the game relies way too much on luck but nevertheless I'm really starting to like it. Also currently chasing down evil Kevin Spacey and getting rid of his horrible weapons of mass destruction in COD. Overall I'd say both games are equally good.

It was a false rumor. MS dude denied it a few days ago.Silent Hills rumored to be wanted by MS as an Xbone exclusive.

It better fucking not go Xbone exclusive, that'll be like a double kick in the nuts after it getting canned the first time... I'm still angry about Konami canceling it.

Self-control is cool.

They're very different in the style of combat required/possible. Obviously the controls and 'feel' of the games are VERY similar, and the slow methodical style of Dark Souls is definitely not for everyone. If you're enjoying Bloodborne, Demon's Souls might be more your speed, but it's still very close in fighting style to Dark Souls. Plus, you need to have a PS3.
Aaaaaand, giving Dark Souls yet another (last ever) try fixed this right away. Different strokes I guess, but at least I saved me some monies.I have no idea why I'm suddenly so interested in Bloodborne, considering I hated Dark Souls with a passion. I'm at a point now where I know I'm getting it and I can already feel my blood pressure rising to a dangerous level. Tsk tsk...
Dark Souls is one of the least enjoyable games I've ever played. I guess I can see why someone would enjoy it, but I still think it's absolutely terrible. Doesn't seem to respect the player's time at all, which all the reason I need to stop playing it. Being challenged by a game is not something I'm very interested in these days either, so that famous feeling of "accomplishment" one's supposed to get from beating a boss in these games is completely lost on me. So yeah, despite the sweet visuals I'm quite sure Bloodborne would be a total waste of money from me. Not a popular opinion, I know, but eh...
Appreciate the input though <3

It's good if you can accept that it's pretty much just a polished and refined Far Cry 3. Taking over outposts is a lot more interesting this time around though because of all the toys they give you (i.e. helicopters and elephants). And the world itself is a lot more fun to traverse because of the verticality of it all. I like it.
Is FC4 good? I've been wondering about it, but I've heard mixed reviews. That's the only game in the series I haven't yet played..But it's okay and cool because it's Nintendo.
OT: Far Cry 4 (good) and Race the Sun (also good). Good good.

Yea I've spent a lot of time joining other people's games and helping them with bosses. The bosses themselves have so far been relatively fair (except for that poison thing in the old church, that was just stupid) but I just can't stand running the same routes over and over. You already do that quite a bit in the first place when trying to figure out where to go, so forcing the player to do it after each try at beating a boss is horrible design, given that it adds nothing to the game. At least there are shortcuts.
I've just entered some place called the Unseen Village or something but I think I might return to the forest and look for more treasure. That place is huge.
