There are just a few games that burn themselves onto your skin like a tattoo you'll forever display with pride.
Those games are like your favourite books, TV shows or films.
Bloodborne is one of those.
I knew Bloodborne was a Souls game. So I was not quite 'turned' to go and buy it. But then I could not stop looking at the game. So I did it. And finally bought the Hit version of it.
And I got prepared to die.
And I died, and keep on dying a lot.
But I don't mind. I just keep on coming back and playing the same enemies over and over again.
Why!? Because next time I'll advance a bit more and the moment you manage to discover a new short-cut, you win that battle you've been losing for the past 10 or more tries, you feel like on top of the world!
And the Bloodborne world is a beauty.
The details are infinite like you get lost in them each time you pass by.
And Bloodborne is the only game nowadays that made me watch more videos on YouTube besides the walk-through kind.
I've been watching many dissertations, thesis and other philosophical videos about the game than every other game before. It also helps that I didn't have YouTube or even the internet when I used to play other consoles...So yeah!
And why I watch the videos!? Because they remind me of the old times when we used to discuss the games for the games. And that can only happen because the game appeals to a more adult audience but also a kind of different hardcore gamers, besides the FPS hardcore gamers. It's a mix from the old days Arcade gamers that tried to pass those platform/RPGs games that ate our coins like the Cookie Monster.
I've seen people caring for the game like I've seen in a long time.
And I'm in love with the game. That much that I don't mind being killed all the time and even just watching other people playing.
