Bloodborne: Lore and Gameplay Retrospective

Welcome back to Arkham666’s channel, everyone. Today, we are taking a deep and dark dive into the blood-drenched world of cosmic horror and exploring one of FromSoftware's most beloved games, Bloodborne. At the dawn of a new console generation, Miyazaki and his team were approached by Sony to make a new game for their next PlayStation. The fruit of this labour was a dark, baroque horror-fantasy game that saw the player exploring the city of Yharnam, the ancient Pthumerian tombs beneath it, and battling all kinds of monsters mutated by the cursed blood of the Healing Church. Over a decade later, this game still sticks out in the minds of Souls fans and gamers of all stripes as a one-of-a-kind, slightly flawed masterpiece that suffers from being locked exclusively to PlayStation and 30 fps. But, as the old Bethesda saying goes when releasing an Elder Scrolls game full of bugs, "Modders will fix it." As such, I had the pleasure of playing this game on my PC in glorious 60 fps thanks to the ShadPS4 emulator, and it was an incredible experience. As with all Souls games, the story is a mystery that needs to be explored carefully, something that can be be hard to do when almost everything around you is dead set on ending your life. So let's take a slow and steady walk down this dark and winding path together and see if we can't uncover what the hell happened here, and exactly how and why this game, more so than any other, has become the favourite of Souls players. #bloodborne #gaming #soulsborne —---------------------------------------------- Links—----------------------------------------------------- Thesummerofmark’s youtube channel    / thesummerofmark   Sputnik34's YouTube channel    / @sputnik34   Folding ideas video about Bloodborne.    • Minisode - The Endings of Bloodborne   How to setup Bloodborne on your pc    • How to Play Bloodborne on PC - New shadps4...   ShadPS4 https://shadps4.net/ Bloodborne launcher at nexus mods. https://www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/... ------------------------------------------------- Chapters----------------------------------------------- 00:00 Start 07:09 Development 18:58 Setup 30:11 Character creation 41:00 Level design 44:53 Making friends (NPCs and quests) 56:50 Pthumerians 01:11:43 The workshop 01:30:11 Fight like a hunter (combat) 02:00:43 A spider named Rom (Boss battles) 02:09:09 The Great Ones 02:17:25 Cainhurst Castle 02:29:18 The Source 02:41:35 Patches 02:54:48 The Old Hunters 03:06:06 The First Hunter 03:12:18 Conclusion -------------------------------Super awesome Socials for cool people ------------------------------ Support me on Patreon and help me make this my full time job patreon.com/Arkham666 All the hottest takes on coca cola are here https://bsky.app/profile/arkham666.bs...
