SPOILERS

First 18 Minutes of Bloodborne (IGN First)

Metacritic: 94.

GAMESPOT: 9/10

"I finished Bloodborne in less time than I did Dark Souls II, yet I treasure it more in spite of its few missteps. In death there is life, and in blood, there is redemption. More hyperbole, yes, but for a game this theatrical, only hyperbole will do."

Jimquisition: 10/10

Destructoid: 9/10

"From Software is still one of the only developers left that makes you work for your satisfaction, and Bloodborne is damn satisfying."

CGMAG: 9.5/10

Escapist: 4.5/5

"Bloodborne, like the rest of the Souls games, isn't going to be for everyone. But, if you're the patient sort and are willing to put in the time and effort to get good at Bloodborne's complex and punishing combat, you'll find Bloodborne nearly impossible to put down."

Digital Spy: 5/5

Game Informer: 98/100

"Bloodborne is a blood-drenched horror gem that has only the faintest of cracks in its façade. Bloodborne succeeds through sparse storytelling, lush atmospheres (conjuring up notions of the best of Lovecraft’s work), and tight combat that forces you to be aggressive."

EGMNow: 9.5/10

Massive thanks to both Charizard and Slashkice for helping with the content in this thread.

What is your hype level for Bloodborne? Think it will be the next Demon's Souls and get game of the year here? Or will it be yet another Playstation flop to add to the pile?! Let's make this a truly hyped game!

COOP!

Group Co-op!

So here are psn id's of folks wanting to coop on Bloodborne! If you add anyone here, make sure to send them a message just saying who you are so they won't just auto ignore or whatever!

Bloodborne in coop works similar to the Souls games, in that you use a bell to summon others or be summoned to others Worlds. New to Bloodborne however is the ability to easier match up with your friends using passwords. So we can coop easier with each other; make sure to use the password:

very nicely done. 10/10

Yus! Finally.

Nice thread too man, looks great!

I'm going balls out with AAAA motherfuckers.

Though AAA is probably the safe bet here, but the game looks dope and I'm gonna enjoy my hype.

It will get a 9/10 at least.

AAAAE

Pre order collector edition. 9/10

sweet finally the hype thread showed up

so 10/10 right? cows don't underhype this DONT U DARE UNDERHYPE IT stop playing it safe hype this game where you feel its at we need to be prepared for the floppage

AAAA

**** everyone, AAAA!

Going AAAe on this one! I'll be shocked it if gets lower than an 8.

Hyping 10/10, because it's From and Miyazaki.

That said, not clicking any trailers or links in the OP, I've tried my best to be on a media blackout so far.

Great thread, man.

AAAE. Would be great to see it get AAAAE, but I don't see that happening.

Nice thread. AAA.

What chess said.

AAAA, this is my reason for owning a PS4.

Really well-made thread. Hyping a 9. I bought a PS4 for this game goddamnit.

inb4LuLu

Wait for it... Waaaaaaait :)

AAA

If LuLu and Krelian get in here, you're gonna have a hell of a time tracking scores man. You should make a sticky just for them to argue in lol.

Was gonna make the hype thread but right now I'm pretty happy I didn't.

I'll go with AAAAe. I think it'll score a 9 but dick the pussyass shit. 10 with Miyazaki is highly probable.

Just don't respond to him. Please don't. I'm tired of reading posts....... that read......... like this............

A

inb4 cows try to low ball this and pussy out. I fully expect to see major cows not post at all in this thread or hype AAe.

I'm not fond of these types of games but from what I understand of it.....I'm guessing a 9/10 at least.

Man, it's been a while since I've been so hyped for a game not called Metal Gear Solid 5.

Really can't wait for this shit!

Yeah this has the look of an AAAAe. That's my vote

Jesus, the hype is legitimately at AAAAe right now.

Sony did good to secure this game.

This game is the main reason I decided not to sell my PS4.

Guess my post didn't go through?

Anyway, going with AAAe on this one.

@inb4uall: Chill out you try hard.

What is your own hype?

Thank you sir.

Is the 10/10 your hype for the game, or you rating my thread?

This is and MGS5 will be the highest scoring titles of 2015. If there's a chance of a 10/10 its these two. Hyping it AAA and if it gets an AA i'll cut my veins (foxbat and blackace will be happy).

AAAAE

Enough enough let see what the game hs to say for itself.

I have none. I have a 360, Ps3, and PC. I didn't buy demon souls, dark souls, or darksouls 2 despite ample opportunity. Putting bloodborne on a system that has gotten nothing but flops in terms of exclusives has done nothing to change views on this type of game.

AAAAE from me, day mother fucking one, whole week off for this bad boy.

Also nice work on the thread!

It just depends on who reviews it. I'm sure Vanord would find something to cry about. I'll go with AAAe, though.

Cows are wimps. The amount they ride the From Software dick, it's AAAAE hype from all of them.

Going to score 8/10. My hype is AAAAE because that's the hype it deserves.

AAE. I just got that feeling. Hype trains always crash hard.

AAAAe

GotY contender alongside MGS5

I find the lack of bovine in this thread humorous though. Finally a great looking PS4 exclusive, where are you guys?

If you need to explain why it's going to be a good game and why people need to be excited for it; there is already a problem...

This is just how good hype threads are typically laid out. You can click on it knowing nothing about the game and come away from it having a good idea of what the game and hype is all about.

This game comes from a strong pedigree, looks to be improving upon its predecessors in meaningful ways, and (according to most gaming media outlets) is very much one of the most anticipated games of 2015 for many.

I'm not sure what it is that you're perceiving as a legitimate problem here, but feel free to share.

AAA

Got mine paid up and ready to download

They are still licking their wounds from The Order debacle.

With they way they were hyping that trash from the start, I was expecting AAAE hype, not that piddly AE hype it got.

Cows always play it safe, because they know their hype is never achievable.

This game is hyped within a small isolated group of people, if you're expecting to indoctrinate people who clearly already know all about this game and the franchise it is following; that hype you're engaged in will still only remain within that isolated group. Everyone already knows about this game, few care. The 99th percentile couldn't give less of a sh*t about Bloodborne just as they didn't give a sh*t about either of the Dark Souls games or Demons Souls.

You have a niche hype train which is exacerbated even further by the fact that everyone knows this is niche and you people are attempting to spill your hype out into the mainstream where no one could give less of a damn, it's an annoyance. The game may be rated well, it may be a success in the community of people who care about it. However when you consider that 99 out of 100 people don't care about this game or the games before it, it's doomed to failure before it even releases.

Yeah The Order was underhyped.

But this game? So far we have a close race between AAAAE and AAAE. So for this particular instance, I'm not really seeing an issue of underhype.

I have to say this has shaped up to look pretty damn good.

Hype thread just started and the major cows haven't shown up yet. No conclusions to be made here, yet.
