Bloodborne, is the game really that good? I've seen the YouTube reviews and they talk about how great it is, but from what I see it doesn't seem all that interesting.
Looks like a guy (you) running around linear maps, fighting mechanic heavy bosses...that's it. Not once in any of the videos did I even hear an NPC speak. How's the story? Can someone give me a no bullshit review?

I have the game but haven't really played it. Felt the same way you do regarding what I've seen of it. People here love it like everything I've read elsewhere on the inter webs
It's pretty much the opposite.
The maps, and story for that matter, are not linear.
Literally every enemy in the game has the ability to kill you very quickly. It's not like a game like God of War where you just hack and slash. You have to draw enemies away from each other and take them on in small numbers or you will get butt raped.
I have finally gotten around to playing through the Metal Gear Solid series with the intention of playing Ground Zeros and MGS5 to finish up the series.
Going back and playing the old PS1 version is hard as shit because the controls are so archaic. No analog stick control. Moving is not pressure sensitive, so you either run full-speed or you are stationary. Square for attack, including shoot, instead of right trigger.

Yeah, I understand the difficulty. I was just hoping maybe the story or lore of the game would make it worth the price and the eventual smashing of my controller lol
The story isn't easy to pick up on, if you don't read everything you will get lost.
It's THE game to buy for ps4 though and that's been the popular inter web opinion for a while.
I'm for real excited to sit down and get into it. Although they are different games, I got so hooked on fallout 4 I just been playing strategy type games on PC or rocket league or hell divers.
I have witcher 3 (played 5 or so hours) or blood borne to get hooked on next
As amazing as both games are, Bloodborne is going to ruin The Witcher 3 for you. The combat in Bloodborne is so much better you won't enjoy The Witcher 3.
Oooh, makes me think I should play witcher first. I'm definitely excited for boss fights in both.
Witcher is one of my top games ever. Bloodborne is too. You can't really go wrong with either.
I recently bought an Xbox One, so I decided to get Dark Souls III instead of Bloodborne. I realize they're roughly the same game, but with DSIII your friends can co-op with you.
ITS HARD AS HELL!
ITS HARD AS HELL!
You can do that same with Bloodborne.
They're basically the same game in terms of mechanics and what you can do. In fact it's made by the same company.
BB is a much faster game. DS3 is slower and methodical.
FUUUUUU
Just realized I have been playing DS3 for about 12 hours today.
And I don't know all about that, several times I have went back to a broad sword to get some speed. Really, both games don't have many speedy weapons.

Bloodborne encourages a much more aggressive style of combat compared to the souls games.
Combat wise it will. Bloodborne is so much more fluid, W3 will seem very stiff.
