“My only complaint is I wish there was more of it”. My exact words after getting platinum.

I love Ludwig's fight so much. Most of the bosses in this game become more erratic and wild as your fight progresses. But Ludwig does the opposite. After he sees his sword he regains some of his humanity and you two have a proper sword duel. He dies with dignity and that is beautiful.

The thing I love about blood borne is that’s it’s a game first and foremost, too many games nowadays are trying to be 8+ hours movies with a game around it. It’s so nice to actually PLAY a game instead of watching it half the time

I hope that all the love and attention this game is still getting after all these years will eventually push Sony to release a remaster.

My dad got me Bloodborne and Sekiro for Christmas, and I’ve been loving it. I had to watch fightincowboy’s guide to figure out how to go through central Yharnum since I didn’t know what I was doing, but now I’m in the area past the portal door after you go through that school thing where the weird “amygdala” grabs you. Also, the way you described the difficulty is spot on in my experience. If I’m playing Sekiro and I’m struggling to beat a boss (like Genichiro for instance) I can keep dying to him, then randomly the fight just clicks, and I can hit all of the parries I used to think were just bullshit attack strings. It’s weird, but I love it.

The only bad thing I can say about bloodborne is the 30fps, the frame times, no alternative port?!?! And the fact that I didn't play it sooner. It was the reason I got a PS4 besides waiting for KH3. 10/10 such an amazing game. Will play again, it's like the perfect Halloween game. Oh and congrats sir, you get a sub.

bloodborne was actually my first ever souls game and it’s still amazing for me. I still come back once a year for a new playthrough

I'm hoping KZfaq pushes this like it pushed the last one. Either way, just keep doing what you're doing and keep covering what you genuinely enjoy. It makes a good watch, and deserves the attention the Fallout video received.

Bloodborne also has the greatest voice acting in all of videogames. Every single character is perfect.

Loved this video dude. Bloodborne is also my favourite game of all time and at this point I’ve lost count of how many hours I’ve put into this game. Yharnam is just so captivating as a setting and the gameplay is some of the best I’ve ever seen in a video game. I love to hear others talk passionately about this game.

I love the combat in this game. I’m currently playing dark souls but the combat compared is just a lot more boring compared to bloodborne combat wise. The bosses are really good tho

This title Is what I’ve been feeling since I first beat Cleric Beast. The literal best setting ever in a game.

Another cool thing I discovered while doing my BL4 run is that sometimes an enemy's second attack is easier to parry than the first. Dodge once, parry and Gehrman goes down.

I was so scared to play this game for so long, but watched my ex play it and fell in love with it. finally decided to try it a few weeks ago and i'm obsessed. you also perfectly explained that aggressive playstyle we're forced into. Also, the beasts don't move like AI at ALL!!!! Love your video's dude, great quality and wonderful execution (and opinions)!

I appreciate your love for this game. It definitely deserves it. The shadows of yharnam are a great boss though imo.

i tried playing bloodborne in 2017 and it was so hard for me cuz i couldnt get past central yharnam so i didnt touch it for years. then last year i was like i really wanna try it again and it ended up being my favorite game of all time! also has the best FS story/lore imo. gr8 video!

You nailed that tumbnail haha. Way to play the algorithm

Your video makes me fall in love with Bloodborne by proxy as I don't have a PS4. Very well done and enjoyable watch. Looking forward to your next video and subscribed

"I found a few movies and books here and there that have gotten close to giving the same feeling as Yharnam does" *shows a clip of the movie that inspired Miyazaki to make bloodborne*

i swear every other month there's a new bloodborne video essay

Love the video (and the sneaky FFX background music)!!

This video is really well edited and makes me want to play Bloodborne somehow more than I already do. Congrats! Edit: in watching more, congrats on completing the dungeons XD

Goddamn I wish there was more too. I've pumped so many hours in this game and it always surprises me an hits the feels hard. Great video dude, love it.

Great video, just finished my first playthrough and I can't get enough of the game. I didn't mind any of the "bad bosses" you named; instead I appreciated the variety. And for most of those, you have the option of an NPC summon if you want to make them less ganky. The Chalice Dungeons are fun during a first playthrough if you want to go hunting for better gems and loot, but once you get through the main story there's little motivation to play them and they become tedious quickly. My main negative is how few Blood Chunks and Blood Rocks you can get in a single playthrough; it would be nice to be able to experiment with other weapons more easily. But that's true of all Fromsoft games. Oh and no character respec in this one either.

The use of kh2 tension rising theme is the reason I subscribed

When I first started bloodborne, it was my first souls game. I thought the starting area of yarnham was the whole game. It was so massive, and there was so much to do. I kept discovering more things so you can imagine the awe I felt when I started discovering the rest of the game, I spent hours just exploring the opening area

My Bloodborne starting experience was the same way lol. It was my first From Soft game, so once I lost about 3 times to Gascoigne, I left for about 5 years, tried it again one day out of boredom, having beaten Demon Souls Remake, and wanting to like it like everyone else, and it is now my favorite From Soft game. The OST, the costume designs, the environments, the combat mechanics, the elusive story, the disquieting NPCs... I adore it so much.

This game is also my favorite game ever and you sir have done a great job of giving it justice while keeping it short. Excellent!

You’re spitting facts man. I went from quitting at the first enemy years ago to beating every non-Sekiro souls game 10 time 😅

So glad I found this video. I played bloodborne in covid lockdown and it's been my favorite ever since, even got a tattoo of my boy Spider Patches. Great video dude, happy to sub

amazing video man you have earned a sub and aslo Bloodborne has got to be one of the best games ever made the combat is nice and smooth the story is amazing but confusing the gothic and dark location this game takes place in really sets this game apart from other games the transforming weapons has got to be one of the best parts of this game that's what makes Bloodborne so unique from other souls games and also the outfits are amazing each outfit has his own design and feel I was also struggling the first time I played it but look at me now having beaten the game 4 times and having the platinum in just 3 months

yupe it's also my favourite games of all time..after bloodbourne i started to love darksoul and elden ring games... first play ,after died soo many times i thought i'm gonna quit playing but turns out i'm obsessed with this games after learn the games strategy and how to become powerful hunter.. the gothic environment is one of the factors that turns me on..

😅 I love the chalices and Yahargul for their lore implications. The one reborn makes me laugh with it's funny sounds - and the chanting in that area is WICKED

If you want a book that gives you a Souls/Borne feeling, read The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. He did this in the 80s, and Miyazaki was the only game dev to get wise and put that atmo into a game.

"Why did Blood Vials go back to being a consumable healing item when they had already invented the Estus Flask?" This bothered me for the longest time. Like you, I could never understand why they made this seemingly bad choice. Recently it finally dawned on me. It's because of Rally, which is unique to BB. Every design choice in BB is meant to encourage aggressive play, including Rally; when you take damage, Rally will encourage you to behave offensively rather than defensively as you would in Dark Souls. And what better way to encourage this even further than to make the healing item consumable? Now, the player will REALLY prefer not to waste a consumable item, so they are even MORE likely to go on the offensive to get that health back for free.

I love being summoned with my old hunters gear with the beast cutter

The posibilty of a Bloodborne Pc Port is the reason I get up in the morning.

I love the fact that he’s editing in kingdom hearts 2 boss music periodically

Lady Maria is hands down the best boss encounter ever made. Ludwig is a close second

Seeing so many people playing this game in the last months and appreciate it makes me so happy! It's one of my favourite games of all time, a true classic and it deserves all the love

one of my favorite platinums i’ve obtained, if they dropped a 60fps patch i’d go back and replay it

Dude! Thank you. I had never played a souls game previously and had just downloaded Bloodborne with my PS Pro account a couple days ago. I rage quit yesterday twice, first after just dying over and over when starting out and then again after dying 10 times in the Father Gascoigne boss fight. Your pep talk really inspired me and reminded me how I always tell my kids that you have to be willing to be foolish at something first if you ever want to get better at it. And I’m not exactly sure what happened - maybe it just took my stress and anxiety away - but I just started it back up a few hours ago and killed my first boss on the first try (the optional one on the bridge in the first area) and then took out the Father on my second attempt. It’s like the game slowed down for me and, instead of being terrified of dying, I simply embraced the fact that I needed to to get better. Surviving the werewolf transformation for the first time was so invigorating. Thanks again!

"A hunter must hunt" Played a lot of Games, 36 years of gaming, started with atari, Sega, Master S, Drive, all Nintendos, all PlayStations but my favourite game ever is bloodborne 10/10 !!!

Your points on rally are really good but also it is additionally a tool for skilled players allowing those that know when they can take a hit and keep attacking to both regen health and deal extra damage. It can really make the game feel like a blood bath all out brawl

The world is split into two kinds of people when it comes to Bloodborne. People that realise it's a masterpiece, and people that never gave it a chance or didn't play it

About the Chalice Dungeons you go through to reach Queen Yarnham, those actually are handcrafted by actual humans. As for the rest, the Tomb Prospecters community discovered that they were, in fact, not procedurally generated and that there is just a ton of them. Oh, and they mapped every single one of them

I just want to point out the chalices required for the platinum the ones most people do since unlike me most people seem to ignore the root chalice dungeons are not actually procedural. They are set in stone. They were crafted by a person and not random.

Eight years later, the hype is still as great as it was after one year.

Spitting facts. I was stuck in central yarnam for so long, thinking how the hell am I going to advance in this game. After the darkbeast thunder boss, i coasted through the rest of the game. The Cainhurst Reaper boss and Ludwig gave me some trouble, but im finishing up the DLC and then going to finally beat the final boss and start my NG+

Bloodborne is by no means flawless, I’d say HK is the closest I’ve played to a game like that, but in art I don’t want no flaws, I just want something special. Which is why bloodborne is my favourite game ever and probably always will be

One thing people dont give bb's healing system is that youre healing items are kept sepearte from your inventory. Meaning you have more room to use other stuff. I can fit all my hunter tools and other items and i never have to cycle back just to switch to my healing item like with elden ring

You and I have the same story when it comes to Bloodborne. I was horrible at Bloodborne the very first time I played. I knew nothing about how anything worked and started to think I was being punished for dying. I had given up on it for 7 years. Then I picked it back up and started learning about the dodging and the parrying. I even realized that the reason things were getting harder was because my weapon needed to be repaired. Now I still struggle on some parts but, I can beat most bosses the first try.

I personally love the shadows boss fight. Only because it's the transition from gothic horror to cosmic horror.

I I must have a good 700+ hours in bloodborne, and to this day!! I did not know you could talk to Ludwig's head with the church outfit on for dialogue! Side note, I just looked at your subs, the quality of this was so good, I just expected you to have like 70-100k at least! Oh well, add one more :)

How tf do you make videos for games I love & basketball?! Subbed

As a fellow “brotherhood of the wolf” fan. It was nice to see that reference in there with similar feels.

"Till you're on a t-shirt" LMAO

6:25 Made me laugh. I like your sense of humour.

Underrated channel, you'll definitely get a lot bigger, and I believe that will happen very soon. Much love, and remember us lol

I remember the first time I came into Ludwig’s arena and fought him, the music, the boss or just everything about it just clicked (Ive fought him 23 times since then)

Bloodborne was my first soulsborne game, I remember starting it just stressed and intimidated because of the amount of people talking about how hard these games are. I ended up playing through maybe to before or after rom I just stopped because how hard it was I took some time off and eventually went back to it and I just fell in love with it because of the lore, the story, the cosmic horror behind it, it was just amazing. I’m glad to say that I’m a huge soulsborne fan now and when I went to play dark souls 1 I did it with no shields so thanks bloodborne

3:26 I agree with this point for sure. I’ve tried Bloodborne twice I think before now and each time didn’t make it to Father Gascoigne. Before my first playthrough I had played Sekiro and first tried got my PS4. I tried it again after playing Elden Ring. Both times I had trouble getting into the different weapons and combat system. Still besides Bloodborne I’ve only played Sekiro and Elden Ring both a few times and no other full FromSoft games. I’ve started Demons Souls on PS5. After I finish this playthrough of Bloodborne which I am really enjoying now that I am enjoying the combat and found a weapon I enjoy…. I’ll probably move to finish Demons Souls as well. Hopefully I’ll be able to adjust to it as well. But my original point of the comment… I definitely needed to work to learn and eventually enjoy the combat. Once I did… I really started enjoying it.

I loved the video and Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time as well next to Majora’s Mask, but I have to ask, what is the song used for the Mike Tyson clip? I’ve been trying to find it for years but I haven’t been able to.

People just need to understand how these games work. There is no auto save like we are all used to. You have areas with a save spot. And every time you die, you restart there. So scour the area for items, kill enemies for currency to spend on leveling up and purchases. then it’s time to fight a boss. Make sure you spent all your money so you don’t lose it all dying to the boss over and over. Once you get it, it’s the most rewarding game series. I never thought I could beat any of them now it’s the opposite. I beat them all, including DLC. You will be learning new things for years to come including story elements. And the people that play these games are a great community.

My favorite souls game as well, also I noticed those Berserk volumes, man of culture

Just found you through this video my dude, and it was hella entertaining, so I'm on for the ride. +1 Sub

My frustration in trying to get my brother to play this game is high. Especially since he played and enjoyed Elden Ring.

My Rom advice: play it like you run the ball in Madden. Hold the sprint button while running through the spiders like Barry Sanders, go in for a couple hits, run away, repeat. It's one of my favorite fights now

Bro the tshirt comment had me laughing so hard 😂

This is a very well edited, scripted and crafted video. You are absoultely as good as big youtubers, i really enjoyed this. Keep the good content up!

You deserve more subs man great video

Fantastic video! You should make the next video about Sekiro! Looking forward to future content

I love this game. as someone who has played these games since ds1. I thought for the majority of the playthrough it was just hunters and beasts. But then the game exposes you to the cosmos. And it did all but grow eyes in my head because I was NOT expecting it. Not to mention this was the first time fromsoft had completely alien animations. Even Elden ring has very dark souls animations. AND THE MUSIC! I may be different here but this game has some of the best OSTs. and those who evaluate them can tell almost you the story of the bosses from just listening. The horn sections bring up themes of grandeur and royalty but it has an underlying deceptive nature to it. This game was one of the most original pieces of art to come from fromsoft. And that says something given it’s company. Great video you had many good points that I agree with. Btw love the final fantasy X music when you used it

The insight system is the perfect video game version of the sanity system from the Cthulu games. The more you experience the more you see until you suddenly are seeing the "world" for what it is and it's horrifying.

I recently played BloodBorne for the first time after playing Dark Souls 1 and 3. I was one of those players with the finger costantly clutching the L1 button, so I was a bit worried about not having a shield. I was so wrong. The game makes it a point to make you feel strong, you are the hunter and they are the prey. The rally mechanic is incredibly good and I actually like the blood vials system, as it allows longer exploration. I ended up finishing the game and obtaining the platinum, having killed most of the bosses on my first try (including defiled Amygdala). All in all, incredible experience, 12/10

After consuming 3 umbilical cords… god I love this game 😭😭 For real though, genuinely awesome video, I hope this vid helps you get the recognition you deserve, this is so much better than most content on the platform

One of the only games i was dedicated to platinum, the defiled chalice was something fierce but so worth it. Love this game so much and the dlc was amazing.

I never thought about it, but I feel for Ludwig the same way. 5 or 6 playthroughs and I've never once been able to bring myself to tell him the truth about the church hunters... Great video, even better game

Exactly about giving it time to click. I always remember back when I first played Dark Souls it took me 8 hours to ring the first bell. By the time I beat the game and went for play through 2 the first bell took 30 min or so

i just fkn LOVE first time bloodborne players telling their experiences with the game.

cool video, good luck with the channel !

Welcome to the club bro.

Central Yharnam IS the most brutal area of the game.

This was my second fromsoft game after Elden Ring. I’d been scared for so long to play them, and tbh, if you’re a gamer in the sense of just playing CoD or sports games you’ll definitely struggle with these games, but I came from the n64/ps1 era and over the years have played every style, and I have to say that these games just feel so refreshing and nostalgic, it reminds me of an old games challenge. Idk why I was so scared to play all these years

The love I have for this game is out of this world I had only played one “difficult” game prior to the souls games and it was cuphead and it left me wanting more of the same. Then I played dark souls 3 and while I was able to scrape a full playthrough of the main and both DLCs I still didn’t comprehend the full picture of souls games my next stop was bloodborne and it’s the game that made me into the monster I am today.

Absolutely! Just started myself and I think it's fabulous 🤩

I love Bloodborne so much I got hunters mark tattoo , it's so much more than a game

Really enjoyed this video and subscribed too :) BB is also one of my favorites of all time.

10:00 1000% agree! That’s why I personally feel the bosses in Elden Ring DLC are weird cause the fast pace doesn’t fit the mechanism of ER so well, no mention those crazy AOE.

great video dude, this was the first game i ever platinumed.

This video really came at the perfect time. For the past few weeks I've been re-hooked on Bloodborne. It really is the Best. Good Video. Love the memes and usage of FFX music.

18:08 yeah i can feel why people don't like the healing system, but in my opinion the vials's system is pretty accurate to lore: you're a hunter who continiously takes beasts/monsters's blood, and blood (not the church blood) is basically a medicine for the hunters.

title of video: subscribed! other than my nostalgia picks yeah bloodborne is in my top 5 definitely my favorite fromsoft title ever. I'm guessing yarhagul unseen village is the part in the middle that was disliked easily my least favorite area in the game

As a huge Fromsoft fanboy........... you are correct. Good video man

I just gotta say this..... my first full playthrough of this game was with an arcane strength character XD very fun

Imagining Bloodborne remade like the Demon’s Soul’s remake makes my hair stand up

Great vid bro

How... how after all these years are amazing bloodborne videos still coming out

11:10 I loved Game of Thrones for 4 seasons.... You immediately get a THUMBS UP!!!

After I finish Elden Ring I might give Bloodborne another shot, thank you for the perspective
