'Bloodborne' launch trailerBUT HOW HARD IS IT, DAVE? I hear you ask. STOP TALKING ABOUT THINGS WE DON'T CARE ABOUT.Well, OK. Up until Paarl, I was actually finding Bloodborne a relatively gentle ride. As is customary in a From game, I died at the hands of the very first enemy, but from then on actually found the combat relatively simple. This isn't to say it was easy—a word that to some of the Souls community is synonymous with terrible—but familiar in a comforting way, like that first sip of tea after being away.To the point I reached, I beat most bosses on the second or third attempt. Very few enemies, large or small, gave me much trouble. But I was nevertheless dying. A lot. The action, which is much faster than its predecessors and focuses on quick reactions over defense, can easily get out of hand. Especially when you get cocky, which will happen.Bloodborne punishes you when you make a mistake—it's not out to stack the odds against you, it just simply shows you the rules and asks you to play by them. So, yeah, Bloodborne will make you its bitch if you accidentally get too big for your black leather boots.
