I wouldn't really even bother with this if the lack of reading comprehension it displays wasn't so hilarious. Bloodborne is an action game. People make a point of praising it for its combat. That has nothing to do with why I praise Resident Evil, and I knock its combat because it sucks...

I've not done anything more than respond to things others have said. Yes I think Resident Evil is a fantastic game. Yes I think it's far better than Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, etc. etc. etc. This topic has made that viewpoint relevant. It'd be silly to directly compare these...

And the way I see it, most people have their head up their asses worshipping Bloodborne. I just think this thread asks a stupid question (and if it came from Jim Sterling I'm not surprised) and deserves a stupid answer.

No the Souls games have always been shit. Comparing Bloodborne to Resident Evil is an insult to Resident Evil. Man that was easy. Also using Lovecraft is easy, using the ideas is easy, using them well, using them appropriately is another matter altogether and Bloodborne is no Siren. The...

The major difference being RE puts you back there with the exact items you had. A Design necessity by all means, because that game has no means of respawning items. (I of course only really want to talk about pre RE4. I pretty much don't accept RE4 as an RE game let alone the ones that followed)...

Lol. No. There is absolutely nothing in Bloodborne or the Souls games that make them survival horror in the slightest. Nothing that makes them scary either. No idea where people get this from.

I don't see it as censorship but rather taking one complaint far too seriously, which to me is very ridiculous and makes me ask how much this company could be trusted to stick to their own guns creatively in the face of any kind of adversity. And it is my business in the sense that they want...

Didn't stop someone from finding it offensive and complaining about it. Didn't stop Obsidian bending over backwards to appease them for no real reason.

I only played the Beta myself, but my view of it kinda of the micromanagement is way worse in Pillars. It's not even due to the lack of party AI, it's the fact even fighters need maintenance during combat, whereas in BG fighters would basically be left to do their thing, as buffing them before...

Yeah, whilst I get some of Do Po's points most of them really don't even pertain to Baldur's Gate and IWD vs PoE. When it comes to playing Pen & Paper role playing I'm not even really into it and prefer other games. But we're talking about the videogames and I'm still not remotely convinced...

Oh, the real fun didn't start on Ninja Gaiden Black/Sigma till hard to me anyway :p But I'd still say on normal it's harder than Souls because it still demands skill from the player that they need to learn. Dark Souls is simply about learning patience and whilst that was a challenge for me to...

I think it's about time the notion that it needs excused is dispelled altogether. It's so utterly silly that people make such a big deal out of some sexualised art. And I like these games, and WayForward a lot. Shantae is a very fun character, and the games have lots of variety to them. They...

Boredom's a killer. Seriously though, it's generally the only way to have an accepted opinion. If you want to criticise something you don't finish there will be a small army of guys always dismissing it based on that. And in my case, someone who probably knows how to play my psychology...

You're speaking to someone who beat both games. Not the hardest games I played by a long shot, but disappointing, as there was certainly good aspects there. But people way overstate the worth of the atmosphere and story of the first game, it wasn't hugely anything special that way. And I'll...

It's as valid a suggestion as playing them, and I only stated what I think of them. I at least did suggest alternatives with some logic to them, games where exploration and atmosphere are just as key, and games that are much better designed as far as I'm concerned. You want a reason why I say...
