Message: [QUOTE="Ian Naxieas, post: 36429, member: 4966"] I just mentioned elsewhere that it is one of my top games, but Bloodborne (and by extension all the Soulslike games) did not start out being something I enjoyed. I rented Dark Souls for the 360 shortly after it came out. I fuckin' hated it. I somehow missed the path up to the Undead Burg, so I kept bashing my head on the graveyard before the Catacombs for a couple hours. It did not spark joy in me, so I returned the game the same day and got Soulcalibur V instead. I decided to give the series another shot with Dark Souls II when it was released, mostly because a friend wanted to play it with me. I made it to the Cardinal Tower bonfire and tried initiating co-op with my friend. Neither of us knew what the fuck we were doing, so after an hour or two of frustration we gave up on trying and that was it for my DS2 campaign. I gave both DS1 and 2 a few more chances eventually and while I got further, they never clicked with me. Finally, I got a big bonus at work and decided to splurge on a PS4. I picked up Bloodborne on the behest of a friend and some other games I can't remember for the life of me. I didn't bounce off Bloodborne as hard as DS1 and 2 initially, but eventually I ended up hating it. I gave it a few more chances, still hated it, but a few weeks later I decided to give it one last hurrah and something just clicked. It very quickly grew on me and it wasn't long before I was completely hooked. It was a bit of a rough journey because of my lack of real experience with the Soulslike genre, but I beat it and made many new characters, spending hundreds of hours in it. It was also the first game I ever got the Platinum trophy for. Afterwards I went back to DS1 and 2 and ended up loving them, got DS3 and the rest of the Soulslikes on release and branched out into other deveoper's Soulslike games too. Remains one of my favorite genres to this day. [ATTACH type="full"]11517[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
