Why dying makes you stronger: A Bloodborne story

SPOILERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS!

Not even that long in the macabre master piece Bloodeth Borne. Wait, the producer just told me it is Bloodborne?

We don't speak like that in the oldeth country? Do we?

Anyway Bloodborne is incredibly hard. And I have never played many Souls games. I played Dark Souls 2 and died on the machine pig so many fucking times. I did also  look at Demon Souls when my friend was playing it.

And all the while the deaths piled up. I was terrified.

And like an awesome fool I bought Bloodborne. I knew what I was getting into and as I type this I am enjoying the hell outta monsters that take almost all my health away. There's a satisfaction not unlike rainbows when you kill a boss. That rush of adrenaline and oh fucking shit I am dead. And oh holy shit I am so close to  death. I see it and it winks at me. Bloodborne tromps on other gaming genres. It challenges us as gamers to be better and all together horribly immaculate in boss battles. I am kind of a maschosit. I must be because I took on Rogue Knight and died over and over and over and over and over a million times. And I wanted more.

Too many games don't try to do what the old games give. Earn your victories is what the slogan should be. Spill your blood over and over and over and over again like a bloody ocean calling to you. Bloodborne should just be brutally amazing. And thus far it is everything and more.

Just the minions will murder you and when you're off screen they'll still hack at what was your bloody carapce.

I wanted to use capricious in a sentence, so here I go. The bosses to me are quite capricious . Detecting movments are ridiculous. See Father Casicgone for an example. He is a wealth of what did he just do? Tracking his movments is really hard. I mean you can but you can't . He laughs at you and then when he's done with that shoots you with his 'ye olde gun'. And that makes for a very hard fight. He's agilie and you bettah dodge, son, you bettah dodge kinda way.

I have so much more to write but this is my story thus far. I am not so far into the game but have damned two bosses to hell.

Bring it on Bloodborne. I await death. I choose it.

I still need to take the plunge and buy a copy, but not until I get some other shit handled.

I figured out the other day what keeps me away from platformers and games like this. It's the repetition. I think if it was the only game I had for a while though, I would keep putting it down and then coming back to it and eventually get through it. As it is though, I stop and immediately start something else from Mt. Backlog. That being said, I will probably get Bloodborne sometime just to see the art design. Will I beat it though? I kinda doubt it.
