I think the problem we are seeing now stems from the fact that the Souls series gained too much popularity and is now something that all the posers and crybabies that comprise the casual gaming crowd have set their sights on.
All of From's games thus far have not been technical marvels by any stretch, and Bloodborne might not be any different. The game looks amazing in much the same way Demon's Souls and Dark Souls looked amazing. Now we have a bunch of people looking for benchmark nonsense.
I remember before Demon's Souls became a thing, we had threads with many excited fans who couldn't wait to play the game because the world and gameplay looked superb and fresh. Now the same threads are littered with people who are focusing on graphical fidelity above all else. We have a bunch of people coming in here to say they are not interested in the game, but the game looks bad and boring. I wonder how many of the naysayers are paid astroturfers.
