"Circle, R1, R1, R1, dead. For bigger enemies just repeat as needed." & "I've mashed R1 to win plenty of times and with maxed endurance" & "If I get hit by a boss, most times I just keep swinging and gain my health back." -- WHAT??? This right here proves you haven't even seen the game in person, let alone played it
Might give it a look on PS4 IF the campaign mode is decent…Otherwise…PASS
@360ICE
Valid load times/frame rate issues aside, a reviewers like/dislike of a particular game style or genre should NEVER factor into their final score.
And the only legitimate criticism of this game are load times and frame rate issues…And if you believe those 2 issues should knock down a game's final score 30% then MOST of the games from the 7th & 8th gen were WAY OVER scored
Its the future of ALL platforms…Either Platform makers are going to have to go with SUPER expensive tech to out-pace PC's & loose tons of money. (think: PS3 Cell processor & the original price tag & how much Sony lost)
OR
Platform makers take off the shelf tech that are already behind PC's & make okay money (think: PS4 x86 & better price & Sony making money)
Not to mention everybody knows the profit isn't i...

"Spencer also went on to say that Sunset Overdrive didn't achieve what Microsoft wanted either, but that it was still a solid entry into the Xbox One game library." Last line of the article

@gangsta_red
Phil Spencer did say that Sunset Overdrive didn't achieve what Microsoft wanted. So that would certainly mean that Sunset's sales "weren't phenomenal"
or, since Insomniac has control over the IP, a multiplat sequel???

"True but aside from BB on PS4, I don't see anything major either on the PS4 front (sorry but I'm not counting The Order or MLB- others might). "
I can't argue with that statement, but at least Playstation tries to put out major games throughout the year. Outside of Titanfall (which Microsoft didn't have full control over (Pub:EA, Dev:Respawn)) there has been no effort on Microsoft's part to release a major game on the ...
@Septic
Ori seems to be a great game but it isn't "exactly going to put immense pressure on" PS is it?
My point is, Xbox doesn't release major titles that put "immense pressure" on its competition till Holiday. But the first, approximately 7-8 months of most years doesn't bring anything major
@Tedakin
"Microsoft's holiday lineup dwarfs the PS4s.... even without Quantum Break." -- 2 things:
1) Thats yet to be seen since no release dates have been mentioned for any Xbox games (outside of Halo 5) & who knows what Sony can bring for Holiday 2015.
AND
2) The only reason why that might be a possibility is because Microsoft will have done nothing for the 1st 7-8 months of the year
@HAMM3RofBUDDHA
I never played a "souls" game until this…and I LOVE it!!!!
Having never played a "Souls" game I was ready to get rid of the game after the first couple hours…I HATED it & it was because I was playing the game like it would bend to my will. And I promise you, this game will torture you until you learn to play by BloodBorne's rules. But after those couple hours, I learned the Bloodborne way of combat & I'm...
@Perjoss & @Manubiggs
That is the EXACT reason why this game is as good as it is. Even when your not "PROGRESSING (in the traditional sense of the word)" this game is still a BLAST!
Elite Dangerous has already been confirmed to be heading to PS4 according to Frontier boss David Braben's tweet: http://www.vg247.com/2015/0...
@AngelicIceDiamond
What @Fries1223 is trying to say is: Microsoft relies more heavily on 3rd party exclusivity (both timed & multiplat turned exclusive) than Sony does. And because of that their "money hatting" does indeed appear worse than Sony's.
@KarmaV12
Since when did Xbox fans brag about free2plays & DLC…I thought Xbox fans said that the only games that could be talked about were FULL AAA exclusives. If we're going to talk about ALL games (which includes full AAA's, BUT ALSO INCLUDES free2plays, lower budget, and yes INDIES) then PS4 does have a huge 2015
And ALL games should count since Ori & the Blind Forest should have shown Xbox fans that lower budget/Indie games can be VERY F...
@Gamer1982 & @elda
I completely DISAGREE…Reviews should mention the difficulty & that the game isn't for everybody in the sidebar (or footnote). You DO NOT dock a game review points just because that particular game doesn't appeal to certain gamers
Example: Because I'm horrible at (or don't like) racing games should every review site go back and dock DriveClub & Forza review points for the people like me? No…At most, they put that...
The bad things this review has is:
1) The game walks a fine line between fun and frustrating.
2) Definitely not one for everyone.
3) Load times.
1) It's a "Souls" style game so "frustrating" is part of the territory…So how is that "Bad"
2) How is it "Bad" that its not for everyone…There has NEVER been a game in history that is "Definitely for everyone"
3) He has a l...
@Lamboomington
You have to remember. This criticism (which I agree has validity to it) is coming off the heels of the completely bogus "It only has 5 weapons in the whole game" criticism. Which came behind a bogus "downgraded" criticism. So to some it looks like people are actively trying to find places in this game to take shots
But I agree that this issue, in and of itself, is a legit issue BUT I hear the day 1 patch addresses loading t...

I will say the website is LYING and CLICK-BAITING…All I need to do is go to this website's review of Battlefield Hardline…10/10!!!! You can't tell me Battlefield Hardline is 10 out of 10 but Bloodborne is 6.9 out of 10…No effing way!!!!!!!!!
