The Monster Multiverse

After playing through Dark Souls II, what I feel about it is... disappointing compare to the Dark Souls. Mainly because of characters that barely make your attract to it.

The poise system barely work, a dagger can stagger a full heavy armoured character. The soul memory success in prevent high level character invade a beginner. But it also allow level 150 character paired to level 800 character.

It doesn't stay up to its hype as Fromsoftware's B team tried to mimic A team while focus in "Difficulty" rather than making you feel "immersed" to it.

I don't dislike the game, it's good. But not that good.

Enough about Dark Souls II, Fromsoftware's A team lead by Miyazaki are working with Sony to create a PS4 exclusive.

I bring you, Bloodborne.

With the new setting, I am sure it will feel new and interesting again. Gonna get PS4 next year

I need to buy a PS4 for this now...oh god its 1800$ here in Brazil X_X (thats like 4000 Brazilian reais).

the taxes here...are quite high, so high that the console is only worth 40% of the price it is right now, the other 60% are TAXES from the Brazilian government.

THX government.
but yeah, I am hyped for this.




I think Dark souls 2 was better from a gameplay stand-point, it added a lot of cool mechanics like the powerstance and a lot of more versatile weapons, except they completely screwed up DEX builds because DEX has the weakest scaling in the game.
they screwed up the story, its not as immersive as it was in Demon souls and Dark souls.

but it did improve in some parts, and those are greatly appreciated. now lets hope BLoodborne delivers on this

The gameplay are indeed improve like guard break and powerstand. But some part of the gameplay like really way to overwhelm the melee user and focusing them to use ranged.(Darklurker, Dragon Shrine and Shrine of Amana) And the PVP balance are really bad too.

PVp balance is quite broken yeah, a lvl 150 invading a lvl 800 is always a bad experience, but It wasn't a problem for me since I only ever capped myself at lvl 200 on both dark souls and dark souls 2. back in dark souls 1 if you were lvl 200 you mind as well have been playing offline since everyone capped themselves at lvl 120.
but now on dark souls 2 I can find online activity at lvl 200 and im so happy for that, but yeah I see the problem of matchmaking.

and yeah the game is balls hard for pure meele, and really easy for ranged, fucking dark lurker

I'd like to try a game like this. Looks fun. I was debating on Thief since it's $15 on Steam, and passed up Dark Souls 1 several times..I just can't decide on a good dark horror game.

Dark souls 1 is like high fantasy medieval game. If you have PS3, a good dark horror would be Demon's souls

Ah okay, I'll try them both eventually. I like fantasy medieval also. I always get Demon Souls and Dark Souls mixed up.

Is that so? Huh... maybe that's why I lose so much in PvP situations.
That or I just need to git gud already...

That aside, I'm a big fan of the Souls series, so I'm a little excited to see what Bloodborne has in store. Plus it would be my best excuse to get a PS4 eventually. I do wonder what, if any, connections there will be to the previous Souls games. I wouldn't mind Trusty Patches making his triumphant return, for example.
