My favorite FromSoft game, the combat system is satisfying as fuck, the weapons feel different enough to make it worth to try new builds. The world building, story/lore and level design are amazing and has some of the best bost fights of any Soulsbornekiro.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Bloodborne. The lore is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Lovecraftian Horror most of the astral beings will go over a typical player's head. There's also the Hunter's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Nietzsche's literature, for instance.

The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these stories, to realize that they're not just wierd- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Bloodborne truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the depth in Micolash's existencial catchphrase "Plant eyes into our brains," which itself is a cryptic reference to Lovecraft's story "From Beyond". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Miyazakis' genius unfolds itself on their Playstation 4. What fools... how I pity them.

And yes by the way, I DO have a Bloodborne tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the big tiddy goth gf's' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
