It absolutely has a story.
It does have a story, and it's a great story.
The story is basically the healing church infected the city with a disease to get them reliant on a new type of cure the church discovered.
The cure started turning everything into beast so the church trained hunters to kill the beast before everyone found out to cover their asses.
It goes alot deeper but that's the simplified version.
It doesn't have much story, and I love the game. You can dig for info but half of the game is heavily "inspired" by Lovecraft.

Bloodbourne was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. I no longer have that time nor desire of masochism from a From Soft game ever again lol.
I'm making it sound harder and stressful than what it is. Actually very fun but nah lol. I think one From Soft game to complete is good enough for a life time lol.
Edit:
Now if someone grabs the formula and makes it more lite. I'm willing to give it a shot.

Fam like I said half the shyt in the game is jacked from Lovecraft. The story aside from that isn't anything special.

I still haven't finished this hard ass game. 
It pisses me off too damn much.
I forgot where I am in the game because I haven't played in almost a year.

The game is definitely inspired by lovecraft, but what aspect of the story is jacked from it?
I can explain exactly what the story is, and it's not just some lovecraft shyt strung together with no rhyme or reason.
The setting is lovecraftian, but the actual story unique and gets deep.
Love this game. I wish they update for 4k with hdr support
The whole Great Ones/Healing Church aspect of the story....which is basically the entire second half of the game....is a direct jack of Lovecraft. Even uses the same name. The Insight/Frenzy mechanic....Lovecraft. Madman's Knowledge....Lovecraft. The DLC? Based on "The Shadow Over Innsmouth". The snake cult in the Forbidden Woods....inspired by "The Curse Of Yig". Rom being imprisoned under water at Bergenwerth...."The Call Of Cthulhu".
I could do this all day man.There's literally dozens of videos on Youtube that break down how much the game took from, or was "inspired" by, Lovecraft.
The hunt/blood aspect of the story is really the only original thing about it. And even that's not 100% original.
I love the game but it took more shyt from him than any other game that isn't directly based on his work.
Fred.
Like I said, the game is obviously inspired by lovecraft, you claimed that it didn't have a story.
Linking all the lovecraft references in the game is not proof of anything. The game uses those ideas and created a story that all fits together.
Taking inspiration from something for the story doesn't mean that's all it is.
To expand on your hip-hop metaphor, "Bloodborne" is Jay-Z and Lovecraft is BIG. It's not a line or two. It's not some random, generic hip-hop catch phrase like "keep it real". It's specific Lovecraft references. Dozens, actually. Multiple game play mechanics. The DLC. Damn near the entire second half of the base game.
I never said it doesn't have a story. I said it doesn't have much of a story. And it doesn't if you remove everything inspired by Lovecraft.
Fred.
And for the record I'm not shytting on the game at all. I love it. It's the main reason I copped a PS4. But cats cannot be familiar with Lovecraft's material, to be downplaying what this game took from his stories.
