BigBossBalrog Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Funny But the point is still there. It's the implication. The fear of the unknown. That's what Bloodborne gets so right compared to other media that tries to do Lovecraft. They might get the design down, but it always ends up "LOOK IT'S CTHULHU *Ten minutes of exposition* HE"S CRAWLING TOWARDS US SO FUCKING SCARY!!!! And the "LOOK AT THAT SCARY MONSTER BE AFRAID" versus "These people have been brutally killed...what did this to them?" But with BB it's the perfect blend of the horror behind the implication, and knowing stuff. It dosen't throw you a random monster, and is like "LOOK AT HIM, WE WON"T SAY A DAMN THING BUT ISN'T IT SCARY" BB gives plenty of information, but leaves just enough holes for you to come up with your own answers. And heaps and heaps of environmental storytelling. It's probably the best horror game ever made in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Indeed, I can’t stroke it enough tbh. The Hypogean Gaol/Yahar’gul is my favorite level for that reason. Creepiest by far and gets even crazier later on and makes you forget you (sort of?) backtracked. Doesn’t count tho since you only see it if you suck lol and get killed by Duffle Bag Boi early on. Very happy I did that authentically though. I sucked all on my own, no help. "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cthulhu got canonically run over by a Swedish fisher and ran back to Ryleah like a bitch, he's one of the weaker gods ironically 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 That was the best part for more reasons than one. Nuthin like having your crackpot theories confirmed to be canon "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I bet most of us managed to suck on our own. They purposefully made it so that the enemy who takes you doesn’t look too tough but then turns out to have a really unpredictable attack pattern and hits hard enough to two-shot us at that level. That fucking kick... 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the one in the Cathedral Ward entirely on my first go. The one who got me was near a cliffside over near those annoying hunters with the blunderbuss and shock mace. I thought he was just a random heavy mob and attacked him while getting shot at by a sniper. Bad move. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelKillaBee Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 The amygdala and insight mechanic is my favorite thing about the game. Ballsy. "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 It’s like some artsy indie game thing, like in hellblade but it works really well in both "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Call me simple, but one of my favorite mechanics is the trick weapons. You could make a build for every single one of them and they’d all feel distinct and satisfying. Creatively, though, the insight thing is definitely one of the best. It’s such a crazy moment when you figure it out. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish they did more with it. It's basically a sanity meter. There's a few cool unique events (like being able to see the Amygdala or the baby crying), but they could have cut out the stupid Chalice Dungeons and just add a whole heap of unique interactions with it. Cant complain though, since what's there is so good, and accurately shows the player going crazy. The day and night cycle is pretty sweet too with all the interactions with NPC's changing. It's a shame Dark Souls 3 ended up cutting away that feature, since from what the data mined content says about it, it would have been fucking crazy and even more detailed then Bloodbornes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
