The game goes from classic horror like werewolves and vampires to more HP Lovecraft eldritch horrors by the end. It’s the first game I ever platinumed and it’s fantastic

Fun fact: I used to think that Bloodborne was supposed to mean "born by blood" but the way it's written actually mean "transmitted through blood" because the term "borne" is used in medical field to describe how certain diseases spread, you know airborne, waterborne... *Bloodborne.* So given how a certain fictionnal disease and blood are both very important in the game, this title is actually even better than I though.

The weapon in the last trailer is know officially as the 'Whirligig saw' however seasoned hunters refer to it as the 'Pizza Cutter' You can probably guess why

This game in my opinion is the best game from the soulsborne series. The story is so engaging and you just get so lost in the world and its a challenge too and graphics and the fights from tiny enemies all the way down to the big bad bosses. This game never disappoints. Im always returning to experience it over and over 🥰🥰

The Old Hunters expansion you saw at the end is amazing. The whole game is good but the expansion manages to step it up. It's some seriously cryptic stuff about something someone did to someone somewhere long ago, now you deal with it. The game is more so about Lovecraftian stuff than vampires, but there are sort of vampires in the game aswell, but they're called the Vilebloods of Cainhurst. The surface level story is basically about someone finding some god blood when realizing that it cures all illnesses. A church is formed around it, then it turns out that the blood turns people into spooky beasts so the church hires the hunters to go around purging. Thats a very simple surface level version of events.

Love bloodborne especially since it starts off feeling like a Gothic London werewolf game and ends up turning into creepy cosmic horror.

Definitely have to watch all the souls borne trailers starting with: 1.- demon's souls 2.-dark souls 3.-dark souls 2 4.- dark souls 3 (All the trailers for each game) At least bloodborne is done good job 🖒

This game, and Dark Souls, were written by Hidetaka Miyazaki. as a kid he loved reading fantasy books but couldn't read english perfectly so he just made stuff up to fit the gaps, which is something reflected by the stories of his games. they give you these story breadcrumbs and puzzle pieces and leave it to you to figure out how it all fits in the grand picture. Gives it a great sense of mystery

Favorite game, flat out. Top of my list for best of all time. RE: Weapon - All weapons in the game are 'trick' weapons, having two forms, there are combos where you can switch back and forth, giving you more combat options. The Saw-Cleaver has a hinge in the middle that flips open and closed, like an oversized straight razor. Edit: Vampires/werewolves/Blood etc - The game focuses on body horror and blood contagions, not actual vampirism (though they hint at the subject), so as people partake of blood as medicine or are exposed to it, they become more bestial...

I used to laugh at people who got so angry with a video game that they would break their controllers. Then I played Bloodborne. Almost gave me a stroke playing this game, seriously.

Asking for an "all boss fights" reaction is a little optimistic considering the amount of bosses and the time it takes to beat them normally, but if you're interested in more Bloodborne, you should check out Ludwig the Accursed and Vicar Amelia boss fights.

This game takes serious inspiration from the works of H.P. Lovecraft

YESSSSS I'm so glad to see this in my recommended! This game is a masterpiece of the highest caliber.

Yes just yes This is literally one of my favorite games of all time literally top 3 love you guys so much thank you I always enjoyed yalls reactions its adorable and especially for this game thank you :)))

If you two ever get the chance to react to all the Bloodborne bosses, that would be sooo awesome, it would take a while but it'd be worth it! the boss designs are unlike anything I've ever seen and super intense ^^

“This would be a fun world to explore.” No this world would be your worst nightmare ever. This is a world overflowing death, corruption and insanity and you would be alone to soldier through an beasts and eldritch abominations that will eventually destroy your humanity. The world of Bloodborne is honestly a love letter to HP Lovecraft and there’s great attention to detail. This is probably Hidetaka Miyazaki Magnum Opus because it’s beautifully, haunting and disturbing in the best way possible.

bloodborne has such a great atmosphere and you both would love the lore. I suggest diving deep into the lore behind bloodborne, some stories are really sad. as it is for all fromsoftware games.

I love the look when the dog came out at the beginning. Your face just sank right in and that is the emotion that strikes at people with Bloodborne; disgust, fury, anxious, scared, surprise (especially with the bosses....lol). Also, I am gonna try and find a video with ALL of the bosses because this is a game you can't afford to miss anything about it.

Ah yea, the greatest weapon in the game: the feculent pizza cutter

A couple of questions answered: 1. The weapon that bethany wanted to know is called the saw cleaver. Every weapon in this game has two forms. 2. The boss that screams alot is called the cleric beast and is based on a wendigo! 3. The weapon Ken likes is called the whirligig saw (not a typo lmao) 4. The baby is not the last baby! But I won't spoil anything If you guys ever decide to play it please learn what stats do what and how weapon scaling works. It's a little hard but learning it will save you the effort of restarting a file because you learned too late. It's my #1 game but it is not easy so prepare yourself. Love you guys and your content

I would love to see you guys play this game and discover one of the most amazing and twisted stories ever created, it is a completely mindblown of an experience! Now you need to react to the whole Dark Souls intros! they are amazing!

You gotta love the ambientation, not only does it has an amazing victorian scenery, but also a haunting lovecraftian and cosmic horror that creeps out through the whole game.

Thank you so much for reacting to my favorite game, your theories about the game's plot were really fun to hear! If I have to summarize the game's story, I'd say it would be something like this: We create our character, a foreigner who travels to Yharnam, the city where the game is set, to seek a remedy for their illness. Yharnam is runned by an institution called the Healing Church, who uses a mysterious blood as a healing medium, known as blood ministration. Though as you heard in the trailers, the blood is foul, and people start turning into hideous beasts. This is where hunters come into play, their job is to kill any beast they encounter roaming the streets, but most of the hunters become blood-thirsty and transform into beasts, too, which turns this beast hunting into an endless cycle. Our character arrives in the worst of nights. There are nearly no survivors in the city, the few who are still human are locked up in their houses and the beasts rule the streets. Your character has to make their way deeper into the city to halt the source of the scourge and put an end to the chaos. The story gets way more intricate and convoluted the more we advance, shifting from a victorian gothic beast-hunting plot to a lovecraftian cosmic horror, so that's pretty much what I can summarize. Cheers!

The beast you so lovely call "that thing", is called Cleric Beast. In one trailer it even states its name on a health bar at the bottom

BloodBorne. One of my favorite games of all time. It’s very heavily inspired by LoveCraft horror. It has a good bit of cosmic horror and other things you can connect to old HP LoveCraft stories. It’s really fun and brutal as hell. It’s just really fun game that I got all the trophies for, even the old hunters DLC. Many moments in that game that I will forever remember experiencing. Especially 2 specific bosses that gave me so much trouble but I eventually took down alone without help. That being The Orphan of Kos, and Ludwig the accursed. Oh man Ludwig’s music is just too too good.

Bloodborne is a classic and you've opened a can of worms looking at this game. And yes you can play with other people. You can summon 2 other players that can help you go through areas but you can also summon players that will try to kill you as well.

The first trailer would have had the perfect ending with the blackout and the gunshot in the background.

Glad you’ve done Bloodborne! I had a feeling you two would do that compilation one day. :)

Bloodborne is one of those projects that could not have gone better. The ad campaign especially introduced the plot while painting the atmosphere and setting so well without even hinting at the twist that would make the entire story so amazing.

Yharnim, Lordron and Lotheric were so fun to explore! I need to pick up playing Bloodborne again

yall bought to make me act up with this one. the whole soulsborn series is one of my favorite games ever the stories are so god dam good its unreal

With the way things are going you’ll be at 100k in no time!!!! Keep up the good work guys! It’ll be interesting to see where you guys will be in just a year!

I LOVED the reaction when the dog came walking out.

greetings from Turkey. Keep going like that

KZfaq randomly recommended your video to me and now I really want to see you react to the full game. Bloodborne has one of the hardest platinum trophies to get (that doesn't involve a lot of boring fetch quests or crafting--looking at you, Kingdom Hearts) and the aesthetic is off the CHARTS. as it is, I really enjoyed seeing your reaction to the trailers and I hope at some point you get to experience the full story for yourselves.

What I love about Bloodborne is that the game never ends.......once you hit the 'ending' it does allow you to replay but you must start from the beginning and everything and everyone gets slightly harder.

Madness: Combat *Bloody, crazy, grim KZfaq channel "KrasniyB" *Dark TF2 animations; skim until something catches your eye

The weapons in this game made this so unique, like very few weapons had the same mechanic as others

"I think it's vampires..." It's so, so very much worse than that... 🤣

Some scholars found an "Great One" a God, in a labyrinth. They use its blood like Tylenol but eventually they turn into beasts. That explains the blood thing, but the story goes way deeper.. youre basically on a mission to kill a ghost baby that doesn't physically exist, that why the cradle thing was empty. It's one of the those games where you gotta watch like 10 KZfaq videos that break down the environmental story telling and secrets and stuff to understand what's happening.

If you haven’t noticed, the man at 13:35 is Father Gascoigne, the hunter that helped you in what I think was the 2nd/3rd trailer. He can be summoned to help you in the area before you inevitably fight him

I still say that Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time. And as you can tell by my picture, the Soulsborne series in general. I've platinumed them all. A shame my PS4 that had all my Bloodborne data doesn't work anymore. Still my favorite game though. The best bosses, OST and gameplay style I've ever played. The Old Hunters DLC content is without a doubt a must have. I envy anyone who has yet to play it. I'd give anything to experience it again for the first time.

This video is a year old so chances of you seeing this are low but when you all immediately commented both loving the setting and music it made me hope to see you guys give bloodborne a play through one day it is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played

IMO, The BEST game from the last generation and definitely one of the best games of all time/ever made. And the soundtrack is just...a truly mindblowing masterpiece.

I've died so many times in this game it took my will and my soul after not knowing how to advance for a day. And after that one day I knew where to go and I just past all the enemies just to walk into the boss fight and got chills in you in the back of my head

Absolutely loved the reactions! Looking back, Fromsoftwere did such an excellent job with these trailers.

Gotta love how your reaction are same as many people seeing bloodborne trailers first time and thought this game is vampire/werewolf type of game. Also, a bosses reaction video would be interesting as well.

Great reaction, as ever. Yeah, there are so many awesome creature designs in this game. As someone who's been fascinated with Wendigo myths for a while now, the Cleric Beast is a definite favourite, though Mergo's Wet Nurse, the Blood-Starved Beast, and the One Reborn are also standout creations.

The game also seems to have a theme about losing sight or visions because there are a lot of enemies and characters that are either blind (hence the blindfolding/bandaging of the eyes) or have bad or even non-functional eyes (like the one with a gun to it's head at the end of the first trailer, you can see the eyeball rapidly rotates which seems to be a symptom of nystagmus or "dancing eyes" a condition where you can't control your eye movements and lead to reduced vision)

Fun fact: the cleric beast (the one who is screaming) is the first boss of the game, there many more much darker things in the game

I know this is 1 year old now, but I need to say this is probably one of the best games I've ever played. The story mainly starts with this kind of disease which is transmitted through blood and turns people to this werewolf like beasts. In the story, blood transfusions were popular as a way of healing diseases. So, as everyone recieves blood from everyone, disease spreads and the city ends in this nightmarish place. That's how it starts, but the story goes deep into many Lovecraftian themes and is honestly a masterpiede of a game if you can look over the enormous amount of blood in the fights.

To answer your question, you can play Bloodborne with up to two friends if you are in the same general area and have a specific item that lets you summon them to your "world". Essentially each player's save game is a separate world, so helping another player kill a boss in their world won't affect your own save, and you'll still have to kill it in your game. Also summoning players or npc phantoms does come with a cost. Co-op does make the game easier when it comes to getting to the boss, but the boss itself will get a buff to its health to compensate for the extra target to focus on. I do highly recommned playing this though. I love just about all the Souls games, but Bloodborne is quickly becoming my favorite.

I'm so happy you watched these!!!!

your exhaustion from watching this is what I went through 2 years to finish this game.

This is insane I was just playing this game. There's some weird cosmic synchronisation going on here and it's scaring me.

Ah yes, my favorite game of all time. I could not recommend more. There's so much to find and learn about the game, so easy to just get lost for hours upon hours. I've beaten the game over a dozen times and I still turn it back on every couple weeks for another go.

In game lore you are a hunter in a town that is infected with a blood plague that transforms them into monsters and drives them insane.

Yes! Thank you. This game is so absolutely amazing, you two are gonna love this!

LOL.....i am so glad you reacted to this. Just repeating what I said but I knew you would enjoy this.

you guys have good chemistry, Bloodborne is my favorite game

I fell in love with Bloodbrone at that very first trailer. now, I've got around 1000 hours. definitely one of my favourite games of all time, and I'm not even much of a soulsborne guy

"We are made by the blood . Undone by the blood. Our eyes have yet to open . Fear the old blood" got that was sick

The baby isn't that important iirc. The story of Bloodborne is really hard to explain, but the gist of it is that there is a beast plague that turns all those who consumed blood into beasts. The reason for the continued consumption and use within the world is because of the medical benefits. As a hunter, it's your job to go out at night and kill the beasts, only for some reason this night is the worst of the whole. You don't really have much of an origin story beyond what you choose in the character creation, you're just some guy/girl who's decided to go to Yharnam (the home of blood healing). It doesn't really have much of anything to do with vampires beyond the consumption of blood. What the game is trying to teach you is really up to the player's own perspective as Whether any character in this story is a/the Hero or Villain is entirely up for debate, as many of the bosses we kill are not particularly villainous. In particular a lot of the optional bosses are just minding their own business when we bust in on them and start wrecking up the place. The one that always stood out to me was the Blood Starved Beast. We come across another Blood Starved Beast strung up crucified and being worshiped by other Beasts that emulate BSB by wearing Bedsheets over their head and have a clear semi-priestly hierarchy going on, to the point that the big ones can even fulfill the role of Clerics in most RPGs and Heal their comrades. When we find the Living BSB we find him in a dilapidated church just sitting and waiting. It is not restrained, or in any way locked in this church, I mean there isn't even a door and its looking right at the exit you arrive through. It's like it is in a Self-Imposed Fast, preparing itself, starving itself, to be sacrificed as the previous one was. All of this hints pretty well that the Beasts are in fact still intelligent, and even beginning to organize themselves into their own society. Though there are other hints throughout the story that could point otherwise to many different conclusions which is what makes it so special in my opinion. The story as a whole is so hard to understand and navigate, but it's one of the best there is honestly. Thank you so much for reacting to it!!

Never played bloodborn but always loved the ambiance and style of this game

"It's an ent!" *looks decidedly not like a tree*

The best notification for the best channel❤️😘

You couple pick the right choices to watch Bloodborne. Love your reaction.

Adding my voice to the requests for the dark souls 1, 2, and 3 opening cinematics. And the Dark Souls 2 announcement and curse of the dark trailers. No rush, keep up the great content!

The lyrics of my favorite Bloodborne song summarize the game perfectly: "AAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

This is one of few games I give an absolute 10 to. Top notch story and lore, story twists, design choices, music, multiple endings, "optional" bosses, side characters that make the world breathe, and a DLC that introduced one of the toughest bosses in gaming

This is a true masterpiece barring the performance issues, hopefully a remaster soon.

I love this game, i am glad you guys are exploring more of the horror Ganre of games. This one is definitely worth it. Also i feel sorry for Beth, that monster scared the crap out of her when it busted out of the wall on the dock part of the video lol!

Some of the footage was in early development. You shouldn't be able to see Amygdala in Yharnam but it was in the background of gameplay trailer.

The baby is the child of an Old One, the child of Yharnam. It's all a very abstract and horrific disassociation of concepts as is illustrated by Lovecraft in his life. Mergo herself is a stillborn, only conceptualized within the Nightmare that was created with its umbilical cord by a madman, whom you kill after entering it.

I’m still trying to beat bloodborne and it has inspired me to make a character that I’ve worked for a quite a long time but I have to say everything about is awesome but story and lore is quite interesting Also the 3 people that are fighting the boss is father Gascigonie (sorry I misspelled that) he is a Hunter like you and well I don’t want to spoil the rest but I good channel I recommend is VaatiVidya he talks about the lore and characters of fromsoftware worlds

"What is that thing?" "Just the local priest."

Oh 🤩 Another one of my favorite games appeared on this channel.. You got everything I love , Apex, Hitman, Lol, Warframe, Witcher, and now bloodborne You guys keep surprising us 🥰🥳

Honestly I would love to see a beat your head against the wall playthrough of Bloodborne. Because I always love to watch those no matter what.

Ah yes, Bloodborne. So glad you guys enjoyed this. I myself love all From Software's Souls like games (this, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Sekiro, the upcoming Elden Ring) but this is my absolute favorite. The Victorian Gothic Horror vibes are on point and very well done, I love me some true Gothic Horror, the atmosphere is great, the combat is fast paced, bloody, and awesome, just an all around excellent game. I will say it's only straight Gothic Horror for roughly the first half, then it starts becoming more Cosmic Horror(think H. P. Lovecraft/ the Cthulhu Mythos), but definitely all the way creepy as hell. A couple notes relating to comments and questions you had. It's not really about vampires, per se, yes, blood vials are your healing item and blood itself is super important to the setting and story, it being a blood borne(hmmm) disease that turned everyone into werewolves and other beasts, and led the world to the state it's in, but you're not a vampire. You're a Hunter. A baby is also super important to the story, but not quite in the way you were thinking, oh my beautiful, befuddled Ken!😁 Finally, it's an RPG, so regular monsters can conceivably be fought indefinitely, but bosses like the Cleric Beast (the first super big thing you saw in the long gameplay segment, you were debating whether it had antlers(it does)) you fight once and that's it. Also, it is multiplayer, but online only, no 2 player couch co-op, sadly, though the multiplayer aspect IS completely optional. Think that about covers it. Happy Hunting, you crazy kids!

Definitely need to watch Vampire for this month since you go for the scary stuff this week. I'm sure you'll like it cause it has some similar concepts like Bloodborne but focused more on the plot/story and characteres.

The little guys that you thought were 'creepy' are actually there to help you.

Damn, what a game, what a deep lore it has. It was my first PS4 game back when i was 14, i need the second part to be released someday

The weapon with the buzzsaw on it is called the whirligig saw. First game I platinumed on playstation.

Yeah, you guys should do a livestream playthrough of this one. That would be fun!

I want to see you guys actually play this game. People love watching players play this game for the first time with no guides.

If you want something dark and filled with blood you have chosen correctly 😂👍

i can still dream all the bloodborne trailers and cinnemetics, played this game way to much

SO excited for this one

Bloodborne summarized: an alcoholic is coaxed into killing a baby by a hell alien squid and it’s old man pet

It's worth react to Ludwig the accursed boss fight(or, maybe even all boss fights in main game+dlc? they all disgustingly good). But Ludwig design, music, setting. It's the highest point From Software ever reached in their games.

"The last human baby they had to keep alive" lol

I do agree this would kick butt made into a series.

Oh, I'd like to suggest something, if it's okay! Since we're on the month of scary things, I suggest you two check out Little Nightmares or Little Nightmares 2! I think the second was scarier, but they're wonderfully unique pieces of horror gaming! Love your content!

If you like this, you will absolutely enjoy the remastered “Undead Lullaby” for dark souls.

Just a little info From Software isn't owned by PlayStation, Japan Studio was closed by PlayStation and the members of Japan Studio was added to the other PlayStation Studios teams but most of Japan Studio games and members was merged into Team Asobi by PlayStation, and Sony Computer Entertainment is now Sony Interactive Entertainment

This osts of bloodborne is insane

How have you not played bloodborne... Must be a beast, shoot um...

1:40 "god I hope it's empty" Well I have good and bad news.

One of my favorite entries. I wonder if we’ll get a Sequel at some point.

The real challenge is understanding the story of these types of games.
