Poll As devastating as this may sound, Bloodborne is the best game ever made. (65 votes)

Agree 25%
Disagree 75%

Was on the tubes, and got a random recommendation of a fellow og SW'er, and to my surprise, Bloodborne is his fav game as well. Haven't played the game since mid to late 2016, so it has been a long time, but just having watched 10 minutes of the video, it reminded me how superior the art direction is in this game when compared to anything ever made. And they really didn't skip on anything in this one. Monsters design, boss design, armor design, weapons design, amazingly fitting music and even the menus and the little icons for bleeding, poison, etc looked so stylish.

This is how you create a magnum opus for the future generations to remember for a long time.

Tell us something we don't know already. Everyone knows the reason to get a PS4 is for Bloodborne😎

That's an opinion I can respect, but I may not share it. It's up there along with the best games in moving the needle.

It still gets more monthly players than much of Sony's current-gen first party lol.

@hardwenzen: Yeah it is because it won GOTY in 2015 (I know you live by that stuff) oh wait, no it didn't, apparently Witcher 3 beat it to GOTY.

Damn not even the best game in 2015 let alone ever 🤣

You don't win anything. The fact that after almost 10 years this game is still so popular, and talked about all over the place, should tell you something about its quality. At this point i wouldn't be surprised if more people wanted a sequel or a remake of the original than Half Life 3.

@hardwenzen: So popular that it sold as many copies as Driveclub (2 million) and Sony shut down that dev. You're lucky Sony didn't own From or they would have been shuttered too.

It would have been the best game ever made, if only the Frenzy ailment didn’t exist. I gave up in the Nightmare of Mensis area since Frenzy kept destroying my HP bar.

Terrific game held back by 30FPS and abysmal load times. They should port it to PC so it can be played properly.

Back when it came out, Souls was still very niche, and Sony didn't market the game very well at all. Never knew Sony shut down Fromsoft🤭

@fedor: definitely needs a PC port, or at least a next gen upgrade patch on PS5. I'd even take a re-release on PS5 over this "do nothing" approach.

The fact that this hasn't happened yet demonstrates complacency and incompetence on both Sony and From Software's part.

To bad Sony hates it. Would love to see a proper PS5 version. In the meantime I’m playing Lies of P which really does the Bloodborne vibe quite well. Fantastic atmosphere and really solid gameplay.

In extremely rare occasions, you gotta do what needs to be done and accept SUB 30fps gaming. If this game ran on the Demon's remake engine and was capped at 60fps, it wouldn't be just the best game ever, but the bast game in the universe, which makes it very unfair for all its competition.

I felt like it was ignorant for them to not release a ps pro update for this game. I enjoyed it a lot. A PS5 remaster would of been great as well.

Probably related to their garbage engine/code. There is no shot that after all this time they still haven't released anything for this game, even tho, even if you're barely following gaming, you will hear a load of people talk about the imaginary remake, especially every time there's a sony event, game awards and the summer games fest.

I'd agree if it wasn't stuck to shit hardware and if sony cared. I'd buy a ps5 if a bloodborne remake or remaster is exclusive to it.

Hey I love the I.P. can't help it.

That game is a blast with friends BTW. Kind of reminds me of spies vs mercs from splinter cell chaos theory days. Love playing as The family, the cook is amazing and I like the mechanic of having to feed grandpa blood to use his Sonar to find em lol

Niche game, loved by a few fans…ignored by most.

You’re just enthusing about old games because Sony is in a huge drought.

You talking about droughts when your brand is soon going out of business? And BB is the most requested remake/remaster of any game ever made. There isn't many more old titles that are in conversations of many as often as bloodborne, but you already knew all that, and you're just salty as shit from yesterdays leak🤭

Sorry Wenzen, but we all agreed the consensus greatest game of all time is The Last of Us.

I do think on the same list Bloodborne got 4th place behind only TLOU, BOTW and whatever else got third.

Its very high up there on any GOAT list just not #1.

I personally think Elden Ring is above it. Maaaybe Sekiro too.

top 5 game of the PS4 generation for sure though.

Its either in your top 3-5 favourite game of the generation, or you don't have a playstation.

There's nothing inbetween. Bloodborne is fan favourite game if I ever met one.

Bloodborne is also the most requested remaster, remake and PC port of all time.

That game and bf4 not getting a PS4 pro patch had me irritated. They need to come out with Bloodborne 2 badly for ps5. The fan base is there and for them to keep stalling Soo long by not having a patch for the PS4 pro or even one for ps5 can cost them. Not mentioning anything about the game will get people to move on to other games and forget about it.

@Mozelleple112: If Bloodborne was in every ps4 owners top 3-5, it would have sold more than the 2.5 odd million copies it did.

You can try to tell me that those 2.5m players think it’s the best game ever, but that’s the very definition of a niche product; a minority of people who are over enthusiastic about something.

In no way; graphics, sales, reviews, lore or gameplay does Bloodborne represent one of the best 5 games ever.

@hardwenzen: Strange. Your poll fell flat on its face for the best game ever though. BB could well be the most requested remake (doubt it) which just goes to show how janky it was on ps4.

Is that the same brand that’s been according to cows going out of business since 2001?

Its either in your top 3-5 favourite game of the PS4 gen, or you don't have a PS4, or you haven't played it.

Sales don't make a game good, unless you think Spider man 1 is a superior game to Halo CE? it sold like 3 times as much, if not more. Maybe you think Minecraft is vastly superior to Zelda: Ocarina of Time?

Bloodborne's combat system, bosses, enemy variety, boss variety, atmosphere are all absolutely best-in-class, and worthy of a very, very high position on a "GOAT" list.

@Mozelleple112: You’re making figures up that simply aren’t backed up by the facts. Spider-Man 1 sold 13m copies from a user base of 120m. Halo sold 6.5 from 24m which is a way higher attachment rate. Still, more people will argue that Sp1 was a better game because it had a bigger player count.

Both were extremely high rated big sellers that were widely regarded as “system sellers”. Bloodborne was neither.

Again, I have no problem with people thinking it was the greatest game of all time. You’ll find more people claiming the same about their own favourite games.

It was pretty good. Some of the boss fights were great, the theme was fun, and I enjoyed the twist in the middle.

Beyond that, it was just a Souls game with better combt but less variety, less content, and some really rough/rushed areas that weren't particularly fun.

Not going to lie, I bought the game when it released because the PS4 had a game drought at the time. I think I played maybe 2 hours of the game and have yet to pop it back into the ol PS4

@sealionact:

If Spider man 1 only sold 13 million copies, then that means Miles Morales has sold 20 million copies.

Spiderman + Miles Morales have sold 33 million units between them.

20 million (be it Miles or Spiderman 1 that holds that number) is more than 3x what Halo CE sold. If Halo was so great it should have sold more systems. Attachment rate is not a good metric.

its absurd thinking Spiderman games bare better than the original Halo. even though 20 million >>> 6.5 million , I bet more people have Halo CE as their favourite game than SpiderMan as their favourite game.

Likewise,

Bloodborne has sold 2.5 million, but I'd wager my house more people have it as their favourite game than games that have sold 5, 10, 20, 50 million copies.
