You don’t REALLY like that shyt then.
Gonna jump back on ER now that I'm done with Horizon.
I think I fukked up on my build though.
As an almost day 1 fan of the 'Souls-Like' genre, Bloodborne is objectively the WORST 'souls-like' game of them all despite being a great game...

That’s just japan.I think we were both wrong @MeachTheMonster
Atlus themselves didn't ship enough copies as they even thought that it wouldn't be a huge seller. It ended up being WAY more successful than I even thought.The word of mouth was very strong on this shyt. Ended up selling more than million copies.
They only predicted the shyt to sell 75K?????
"During its first week on sale, Demon's Souls debuted at second place in the charts with over 39,000 units sold, coming in behind the previous week's top-seller Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2. The game sold through 95% of its shipment during its debut, selling out in several stores.[63][64] According to Miyazaki, initial sales for Demon's Souls were slow in Japan, which combined with negative reactions from trade shows made the team fearful that the game would be a failure. However, positive word of mouth eventually allowed the game to sell over 100,000 copies, which the team considered a success.[1] It sold 134,585 copies in Japan by December 2009.[65]
Atlus had estimated the game's sales at 75,000 units,[66] only preparing initial shipments of 15,000 units before positive word of mouth and critical acclaim caused sales to take off.[28] In North America, the game was the eleventh best-selling title during its month of release, posting sales of 150,000 units.[67] By March 2010, the game had sold 250,000 copies in North America.[28] According to Atlus, the game sold triple their original estimates by April 2010.[66] During their fiscal year report, Atlus' parent company Index Corporation reported profits of over $3 million. This was almost entirely attributed to the commercial success of Demon's Souls.[68] In September 2010, Atlus announced that Demon's Souls would be released in North America under the Sony Greatest Hits label with a price cut following strong sales, higher than previously expected by the publisher. Its status indicated regional sales of over 500,000 units.[69]
In the United Kingdom, the game's special edition sold out very fast apart from "dribs and drabs". This was classed as a success by Namco Bandai Partners, particularly due to the long delay between the North American and European releases. While units sold did not reach hundreds of thousands at the time, Namco Bandai were confident in the game's future commercial success.[70] Demon's Souls favorable review scores made the fiscal performance of the game unique because of the lack of a supporting marketing campaign. Gaming analyst Jesse Divnich commented "Demon's Souls is probably one of the most statistically relevant games released in the gaming world as it helps answer an often asked question: how much would a high quality game sell if it was supported by no mass marketing, released by a little known publisher, and was a new intellectual property."[71] As of 2011, the game has sold over one million copies worldwide.[21]"
I stand corrected.
They shipped enough after that and did a price cut and re-release as a “playstation classic” or whatever and it slowly marched to 1 million over time.
Compare that to Uncharted, GOW, etc that Sold at least 3 million easily.
I don't know why preferring bloodborne means you're not really a souls fan. I personally think Dark souls 3 was the best before elden ring, but I wouldn't knock anyone who liked bloodborne more.
I don't even know what this means, the series always had technical issues. Demon Souls had frame drops into the single digits. Blighttown was damn near unplayable in dark souls. The hit detection in dark souls 2 was broken. What technical issues did bloodborne have that makes it lesser than the rest of the series?
It was really a word of mouth game. People got into the series hearing other people talking about it. There was never some mass media campaign hyping them up.
It was spelled out in the OP, then in my post.
Objectively it’s the worst performing From game. It wasn’t just framerate drops. The frame pacing was broken so the game CONSTANTLY stuttered even in the rare occurrence that it held 30fps. It still stutters on PS5
Frame rate was fukked, Loading times fukked, Lots of bugs and crashing. Game breaking shyt
Even if you liked the gameplay more(which doesn’t even make sense as it’s the same as a dex build in souls) The technical shyt should make it impossible to be the “best souls game”
Especially considering at this time DS1 and 2 were in PC at a smooth 60+fps. With none of the other technical shyt.

Stop the cap goddamn
I recall vividly how much of a shytshow blightown was on the og ds1. nothing in BB is that egregious, nothing.
I never said the game sold a lot, it took a long time for dark souls and demons souls to sell.Follow your logic breh, it couldn’t flop if lots of people bought
It only sold as much as it did due to critical praise and word of mouth, then when lots of people got their hands on it they said it was too hard and weird, kinda the same as Elden Ring recently. Just on a much smaller scale.
The fanbase only got bigger with each game. People didn't just jump on board with bloodborne
Bloodborne didn't even sale a massive amount of copies, Dark souls 1 sold more. Most of the people who bought and praised bloodborne were already fans of dark souls. This forum didn't even exist when demons souls and dark souls 1 released, and by the time dark souls 2 released there were already alot of people here that were fans of the game.
This argument makes no sense.

It was not just one area. It was the entire fukkin game. It ran like shyt
Blighttown was subsequently fixed. Bloodborne is still fukked on PS5
You are literally lying breh. I would post videos about the performance of the souls games before bloodborne but I forgot who I'm arguing with.It was spelled out in the OP, then in my post.

Nah bro he's right. Miyazaki has even said Bloodborne can't get a remaster because of how janky it is overall. There is no single area as bad as Blighttown no, but how the graphics were optimised they are unsynchronized which is why the frame rate is all o er the place. They would have to completely remake the game and with Elden Ring being such a huge success at this point why bother.Stop the cap goddamn
