Every detail in Bloodborne is a work of art.
Where are you in the game?DS3 is multiplatform but it’s not cross platform. PS4 players can only play with other PS4 players, Xbox with Xbox etc.
I’m doing my first play through of DS3 right now and it’s the deadest multiplayer experience I’ve ever had in the series. I played DS1 & 2 at launch so it’s not that surprising, but I played Bloodborne a full year after its release and it was still pretty active. But I guess that DS3 is almost two years old already.
How far did you get and do you like the other Souls games?I've played it a few hours and don't get the hype at all.
Where are you in the game?
I just finished Ashes of Ariandel and The Ringed City and both had a decent population of players. Maybe that has to with it being dlc.
How far did you get and do you like the other Souls games?
Imo you must be pretty decent to beat Gascoigne so it's not a case of you being terrible at the game.Never played Dark Souls. Big time Armored Core vet. I got past the fight in the graveyard, Germain or something.

Just not a game for you I guess.
Im playing it now, and do not feel it's s better than dark souls like many others do. The final few areas are really lame imoNever played Dark Souls. Big time Armored Core vet. I got past the fight in the graveyard, Germain or something.
Bloodborne will be free on PS+ in march, for those PS owners who haven't played it.
I'll confess, I had a 15 year old next to me telling me to stock up 15 blood vials before fighting him and cluing me in on some attack patterns.

I never played any of the dark souls before, so the learning curve was brutal, but I also knew what I was getting into, and this game blew me away. I even preferred it to Dark Souls 3. This game was incredible.Well, it's all a matter of taste of course, but here's some reasons (on top of my head) why it gets the critical acclaim it does:
- The insane worldbuilding
- The obtuse storytelling, which is a welcome breath of fresh air in an industry filled with games that constantly hold your hand and feed you boring tropes over and over again
- The Lovecraftian/cosmic horror/even satanic themes that are woven into its core. Bloodborne isn't just a 'gruesome horror' game imo, it also is a very dark and grim piece of art that touches on some subjects and goes to places that even Dark Souls doesn't dare to go (which isn't exactly Mario Party to begin with)
- The distinct weaponry
- Tight combat
I think it's an incredibly deep and ballsy project in this era of the lootbox craze. I sure hope Miyazaki's next project is as out there as BB. I love Dark Souls to death, but I truly hope he never makes another one in his life and keeps focusing on new and daring projects.

I didn't really like DS3 but to be fair, I never played the DLC. DS3 just didn't draw me in and the PVP was such a clusterfuck that it made the game unenjoyable at times.For sure. I loved every minute I put into Dark Souls III, but I enjoyed BB even more. You'll hear no argument from me.
