re: Official Bloodborne Thread (spoilers)

I’ve nervously recommended Bloodborne to a lot of readers over the past week or so, ones who were worried that their lack of history with Souls games would prevent them from enjoying it. Given that I was in the same boat, and now nearly 40 hours later, it’s one of the best games I’ve played in years, I figured I should advise that others should give it the same chance I did.

Through my own experience, what I’ve actually found as time goes on is that while the game is certainly never “easy,” it certainly does get more manageable and methodical as time goes on. For me, the first few hours were the most frustrating by far, but after that, you sort of settle into a rhythm and are able to make consistent progress at a much more brisk pace once you learn how the game operates, and your own limitations.

I figured it would be wise to write a post that teaches a few lessons to my fellow Bloodborne virgins about what to expect as time goes on with the game. Not in terms of spoiling content, but just some of the insight (hah) I’ve gained along the way. Perhaps this would be better coming from a Souls veteran, but at least you can find comfort in knowing that I’m in the same boat as you.
