Ngl I was always hoping for a bloodborne 2 but lately im thinking maybe give me those dlcs and then make an entirely different game.

I am thinking maybe a rogue like or something would be awesome. Imagine just you have 1 life and go deeper and deeper into some unknown cave all the way till hell.

Not saying I want them to make a shooter just I am afraid they will go the money route at some point

You can skip most of the "main bosses" too you only really need to kill 2 shardbearers in the first half and youre done, then beat Morgott, Fire Giant, Melekith, Godfrey & Radagon.

Then u done.

Wonder how much some ppl missed.

Its not about the way of story telljng its the loteral story

Its a basic body guard samurai tale for the most part with only a few deeper interesting things here n there

While souls, bb & er stories are way more expansive, crazy & unique

Agreed.

I dont really count the dungeons as a knock when u ignore them mostly on later playthrus, because that first playthru with all of them was BRAZY

But yeah agreed, the bosses & level design in the second half is way more expansive, in depth & crazy to me too. While the first half was mostly "general souls" affair which is still good, but wasnt amped or broadly new yet.

Nah bro I already had 60 vigor and was using everything the game gave me to help when I was complaining, I just got better at the game I went through the 2nd new game playthrough in no time, s*** was a breeze.

Though I swore up and down I was gonna beat Malenia first try but hell nah she still took me like 15 attempts

I didn’t explore Haligtree AT ALL first playthrough because I was just getting f***ed by everything but I explored every inch of it this time and my god I love that area

I wasn’t really feeling all the other areas that you mentioned except for Leyndell until my 2nd playthrough, they all f***ing SLAP

I loved the bosses and the environments in this game so much bro, I think it’s easily their best and most ambitious game

Ig if you put it like that it sounds simple but you could do that for most games

If it was my personal wish i would want BB2 after all the ER dlcs, then a new ip.

I really think the next game or game after is gonna be sci-fi mech souls tho with Armored Core getting the Soul treatment (even if it isnt literally called Armored Core) like how Sekiro is Tenchu with the Souls treatment.

Which i would also be down for. I would love a sci fi souls game, all the sci fi souls likes out there suck ass but FromSoft could obv pull it off.

It blows me away that they keep getting better and better at their craft, how have they not peaked

What’s wrong with Micolash

I like his lore and his fight is a little mimicky but it’s solid

Yeah i enjoyed it too, plenty of gimmick fights in the series

Holy s*** thats more vig than me even in ng+ i think im at 50

Real lmao glad you eventually got to appreciate those levels later on n got better, i can see it being intimidating or frustrating trying to explore those areas if you feel like youre getting killed constantly or hitting a wall all the time.

I throughly explored EVERYTHING in my og playthru i literally only missed two dungeons, but yeah Haligtree is top 3 of the game to me its so good and intricate & the descent down is awesome. Plus the added lore bonus of the Haligtree trying to bevome a replacement of the Erdtree is so dope too.

Leyndell, Haligtree & Azula are in the top 10 soulsverse areas period imo & Godfrey Hoarah, Melekith & Dragonlord are in the top 10 soulsverse bosses period imo

In NG+s the second half is way more exciting n interesting than the first half too.

His lore & char is good

His fight is f***ing terrible

Micolash is pretty terrible tbh.

His lore is really cool though, doesn’t make up for the s***ty fight imo

Agree entirely

They killed this s*** man, I knew it would be good but never thought they’d make the best game I’ve ever played

Exactly lmao.

People complain about Elden beast "running away" while that is literally all Micolash does & if you dont know what youre doing you will literally run endlessly with mobs chasing you for a long time because you wont be able to position him into the balconies. And when you do fight him up front he f***ing sucks but somehow has the chance to one shot if his attack hits you a certain way, which restarts the chasing all over again.

Literally the worst boss to me.

@Mace

What’s the beef with his fight it’s not really difficult and all his spells fit with his madness

If you can’t lead him into the room idk what you doing tbh it’s not complicated. If that throws you off idk how tf you didn’t rage quit on that one troll catacomb/dungeon in ER I was lost for an hour

I would 100% rather fight Elden Beast than Micolash, EB is getting s*** on pretty hard but personally I love it and think it’s a cool assfight

Cant believe they pulled off open world design so f***ing well to the point they ended up becoming open world design leaders of the industry

S*** is amazing man cant wait for how hard the DLC gonna go, it met AND surpassed my expectations

Elden Beast fight is f***ing cinematic as s*** I love that fight. Get a few hits in, he runs, dodge his massive spells and get back in there. Rinse repeat and it’s beautiful

There’s nothing hard about him, it’s just boring and anticlimactic after going through this cool ass area thinking you’re about to fight some kick ass boss but you end up having to fight this cage head f***ing loser like come on man they could have done something much better

But that’s just my opinion

I explained it above u.

Its just a s*** design lol n everything people complain about in ER n act like its unique to ER, Micolash literally has almost all those "issues" to an imo extreme degree. Micolash would have been way better off as just an npc like how they ended up doing with the blind rocking chair dude who was originally gonna be a boss. Removing the fight would not have been a lost.

Its just s*** design & a waste of time.

Worst boss gameplay n mechanical wise of the entire soulsverse to me.

Same, i liked it as a closer fight n thematically. Not a top 5 boss to me or anything like that in the game but still enjoyable.

Int abusers mad because it resists magic

The level area would have been even 5 times better if you just straight up fight Mergo after the level with Micolash taken out

@Mace
His design is f***ing menacing lmao look at that s*** this mf creepy as hell. You can literally chase him for days without his marionettes touching you I’ve never had a problem with him

But fair enough I guess I can’t argue he’s not the “worst” boss in BB but that’s cuz BB has incredible bosses all around, and I wouldn’t say he’s the worst in all the soulsborne games

4 kings worse to me f*** them clowns but idk I don’t know what’s the worst boss in all the games

I thought it was a cool touch on how the nightmares don’t even follow normal logic like this mf was running through mirrors and s*** I feel like they could have expanded more on taking advantage of the setting being a “dream” and done some absurdist s*** like doing done MC Escher s*** running on upside down stairs would be dope
