Just so you know he became president in May which was after DS2 released. In all cases he was most likely still hard at work on Bloodborne while giving a glancing eye at ds2.

Thats an incredible perspective he has but that doesnt mean something isnt creepy though.

Just realized that this game comes out during my spring break.
What in the hell is that from? I can't stop watching that GIF.

Examples of where ive straight up said Dark Souls 2 is shit out of context or when not replying to another poster's opinions on the game?

Love the consumable aspect to resources this time around. Blood vials don't recharge, bullets don't recharge, and gadgets (which are basically spells it seems) don't recharge either. Every use of an item will require at least a bit of forward thinking and risk/reward.
The rats from the alpha were gross though...

LOL GAF has gone nuts:
Hahaaahahahahhaha...best post of thread. I'm excited as the rest of you but lets maintain minimum decorum here guys and gals! You can come on back now RL!?!?!
*opens door and uses the "come along" gesture (gestures beckoningly with a slow moving hand)
Fbh complaining about complainers = the irony.....
hypocricy confirmed.
Good for you for taking the plunge. Doesnt sound like you are afraid.
You will be young skywalker...you will be!
Um, they said that the game has a surprise around every corner and as such they said the replayability would be less in their opinion? (not vets of the game obviously.) That's all they were saying but GAF goes batty from one guy's post that erronneously assumed it was about low weapon counts, which wasnt likley and is now confirmed to be false:

What's creepy with Miyazaki's games is usually the atmosphere/environment. More like the fear of the unknown enemies lurking in the shadows and around every corner.
Actually going face-to-face with the monsters and enemies in Miyazaki-designed games has been more empathy-related as opposed to feeling disgust and revulsion.
For example:
While you might see this enemy as creepy, I see this enemy as a diseased individual driven mad by his symptoms and about to be put out of his misery.
This is the sort of artistic direction that I like: one that has me respect my enemies as opposed to just completely writing them off like what Battlefield Hardline ended up doing.
Which rats do you mean?

Can i have the link to where you got images for the Bloodborne hunter figure?

Yes, being a diseased indvidual being driven mad is indeed also creepy. Its a good thing. The quote before about the maggots, it wasnt creepy as much as it was nasty. Creepy is a good word as it get as the definition states, causing an unplesant feeling.What's creepy with Miyazaki's games is usually the atmosphere/environment.

Quote about less replayability is a little worrying. Otherwise, you know, that all sounds very good.
Sorry can't find an image. They were in part of the alpha that some players managed to glitch into. They looked like the rats that have appeared in all the videos except that they had
a large sore on their backs that was filled with pus. The sore even jiggled around
Context people, context.
Yuck! pus filled rats are dignified?!?!?? I mean has no one played Demons' souls? THere were maggots, aborted babies, flies, filth an mosquitoes all over world 5 in Demons' .....all of the games have conglomerated masses of zombie-like horrors merged together in one pile of shit creature......something tells me some are taking his "dignity " quote out of context. He was talking only about the dragon there....obviously the Valley of defilement was a different setting, nothing about that place is dignified ...nothing. Neither was the real King Allant elegant or dignified, quite the opposite actually. Seems like there is a time and a place, a certian context, so to speak for elegance and dignity, and other situations where, disgust, horror, and repulsion are the contextual pieces he is going for. Prepare to Fly (or Die....but more from heart failure than the actual enemy) appears to be the mojo of Bloodborne....Sorry can't find an image.

They're holding some type of Bloodborne event in Japan right now
where'd you find these?

Dont worry, 40-hours in and still no finish is already great.
And how would they (EDGE) know what comes after the credits? I bet there will be a surprise for us.
Cant wait
it will be my first new bought PS4 game.

So I caved in and watched the first 18 minutes video (wasn't too spoilery). I'm sure a lot of other people feel the same, but it's like this game was made for me! So hyped right now!

Hmm, because the only things that looked like a "rat" in any of the videos thus far is this one from the reveal announcement:
And the creature in the gif is a diseased dog. The in-game dogs still looked like dogs though.
Excellent post. I agree. With even the most grotesque and deranged enemies in a Miyazaki game, you get the distinct impression they're more tragic than despicable. Victims of circumstance and such. You feel for them as you're forced to fight them.What's creepy with Miyazaki's games is usually the atmosphere/environment.

The character and monster designs are the best of the best imo. Miyazaki has the world's leading videogame concept artists and designers. I can't think of anything else that is on their level.
Looking specifically at monsters in games, the last great designs were from Konami's Silent Hill team perhaps.

one of the better ones, actually. some of the other themed ps4s are atrocious.

Guys, I know that I posted it in every Bloodborne thread, but I will seriously do a 48 hour livestream on www.twitch.tv/videogamesforu
See my misery, rage, hate

Its definitely not as great as Demons Souls and Dark Souls.
Dark Souls 2 is great. Not as good as Dark Souls 1, but I'd still choose Ds2 over most other games.
Only by some that can't accept that a game can be good even if it's not at the same level as its prequel.
Don't miss Dark Souls 2 if you like Bloodborne. It's an awesome game.
Dont need no impressions after 40 hours to spoilerfy me.
Ive seen the game play, its KF/DS with a super fun Van Hellsing vibe. Im down.
Someday soon enough anyways.... When I get a used ps4 for super cheap and I can swim in a pile of super cheap used games, like Scrooge Freakin McDuck.

The way some people talk about it you can be forgiven for thinking they liken it to RE6, reception-wise.
(I had fun with RE6 though)
Dark Souls 2 is great.

(Non-gross) rats are shown in the following monsters and mini-bosses IGN video:

Dark Souls 2 is an excellent game, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Did you see any for that remark?
So they saved the good ps4s for themselves?
Not hated. Just a bit of a let down following the masterpiece that was Dark Souls. It's still well worth buying if you enjoy Bloodborne.
where the hell are you preordering from?
