Bloodborne Again
🕑 Added 2018-11-27 02:42:02 +0000 UTC Whew, it's been a bit of a tiring holiday. I admit, a LOT of that was my fault cause I get into this mode where I like shopping for deals. And NEVER actually buying anything. It happened a good amount this weekend, I like imagining what I can do with this or that device. And rarely do I end up picking it up. It's one of the issues with being a tech geek. You look at reviews and study a lot of things. And it's a lot of time spent looking up things you're not going to buy. And deals weeks are particularly dangerous times. Still, it's very much a first world kind of problem.The ps4 game Bloodborne got onto my attention again because I was watching some old Game Grumps videos. I just remembered how cool that game was. And it's great how it went from gothic horror to full on Lovecraft madness, gradually throughout the arc of the game. There's a way the game will introduce to you a new section that completely surprises you and upends the entire style of the experience and you think "Oh I must be near the finale, this is getting completely bonkers." But nope, you're just a boss battle away from experiencing yet another completely insane location.
It's an action game, first and foremost. And it's a very good one. But how it handles the environments and the challenge elements, make it one of the most well realized Lovecraft games released in recent memory.
If you haven't seen it, I posted a pretty cool related piece on my tumblr.

Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.
