I know they do... but it's RE4! I thought everyone considered it unmatched.Dude, this forum loves the shit out of Bloodborne. I'd be shocked if it wasn't at least close between the two of them
Resident Evil 4 does have some detractors. A few did see it as the end of survival horror Resident Evil, as great of a game it is
Oh, i thought you were talking about the bad weather, the cults and also tentacles coming out of your chest. Good to know at least some of it is representative.I dunno, I'm Spanish and we weren't paying with Pesetas the time the game is ambiented on, we don't speak in a strange accent (which doesn't sound spanish at all), we don't live in a middle-age setting (at least not in Barcelona)... The part about trying to kill Americanos at first sight is true though...
Well yeah, I was talking about the ambition of creating a big, expansive and full of possibilities game. BotW is more ambitious when talking about what the player can do and how much meaningful content the game offers. Re4 was more ambitious on creating a tightly-paced and full of really fun encounters game. It was gorgeous when it released (it is gorgeous now too) and the change over RE3 or other older RE games was really ambitious too (same can be said about BotW evolving from SS).Also I fundamentally disagree with the assertion that RE4 is less ambitious. Everything about RE4's encounter design, offset camera angle screamed ambition to me. At least most certainly for its time.
Bloodborne is an amazing game, one of the absolute best of this generation. But Resident Evil 4 is one of the absolute peak, all time great games. Like, Super Mario Brothers level of incredible, genre & control defining, timeless video games.
I almost suspect that people favoring BB more played Resident Evil 4 after it initially released with Bloodborne at release. As someone who played both as they released, Resident Evil 4 I think takes it.
I honestly need to go back and play more Bloodborne, and I'm actually kind of surprised that RE4 isn't winning this.
Oh shit, Ya es hora de rezar and I'm here writing posts in a gaming forum...Oh, i thought you were talking about the bad weather, the cults and also tentacles coming out of your chest. Good to know at least some of it is representative.
I dont mind that because each weapon has a bigger moveset than any previous Darksouls weapon but you are talking more about the build than the actual weapons (like being a long range mage or whatever). I prefer that honestly because id rather have a bigger moveset than having more build paths that I wont use but that is just because im more input focused than rpg focused.One of my biggest gripes with bloodborne is coming from Dark Souls I absolutely hated how Bloodborne railroaded you into playing a very specific way. I think one of Dark Souls best strengths is the vast number of ways you can go at the game. Sure, each of the trick weapons had their own cadence for attacking with it but the game still very much revolved around just dodging and using the gun parry. And that bummed me out.
Ehh...if someone isn't used to how it plays or is more used to more modern third person games instead, I can totally see them having a tough time trying to get used to it. I think it plays just fine but, when I hand it over to friends, some of them struggle a bit, at least enough for them to not enjoy it as much as I doI never got the RE4 aged badly comments too. Someone who has never played RE4 before should still be able to play it today and appreciate its perfection. The encounters are carefully designed around its mechanics so limitations like not being able to move and shoot should not really matter for someone willing to learn the games rules and respecting it.

Just voted to put RE4 in the lead. lol
Why would anyone willingly use the light theme
Bloodborne now that I think about it like a balance between RPG and action with full RPG being Darksouls and Sekiro being full action so it does depend on what side of that you like more so I get it if you want to do more weird stuff with your character. I definitely look at Bloodborne first and formost as an action game so the RPG stuff for me is just fashion and weapon styles. This was actually an insightful exchange lol.And I think that is maybe were we differ on that because I look at the souls games as RPG's first and formost that just happen to have a pretty good combat system. Funnily enough I actually really enjoyed Sekiro quite a lot but I think that's because they kind of went allllllll the way into just full on action game and dropped the stat building aspect pretty much entirely.
I doubt that, I'd be willing to bet the average age of people on these forums is over 30.I'd be willing to bet most people voting bloodborne weren't even able to hold a controller in 2004.
Most folk here are old men who need a cane to get around. I somehow doubt that :PI'd be willing to bet most people voting bloodborne weren't even able to hold a controller in 2004.
Not really. RE4 defined the position of the camera, but everyone who tried copying it failed to learn anything from it. It led straight to Gears of War and Uncharted which turned out to be much more influential, to the detriment of the entire genre.That said, from sheer impact on the gaming world, Bloodbourne is nothing. RE4 didn't just reinvigorate one game series, but it basically defined all third person action games from then forward. Bloodbourne doesn't have that legacy, and it's unlikely to (but again, who knows what time will tell on that I guess)
If you're into retro sure
As all things should be.
And..? Even better they're (we're) able to play RE4 without nostalgia and see it as the middling game it is.I'd be willing to bet most people voting bloodborne weren't even able to hold a controller in 2004.
RE4 is a wonderful game today, with or without nostalgia. Hell, the fact that is 50/50 on the poll after almost 15 years proves how important the game is. I'm sure than in 10 years, BB won't be as half as popular and well-regarded as RE4 is now.And..? Even better they're (we're) able to play RE4 without nostalgia and see it as the middling game it is.
