Bloodborne is my single favorite game on PS4, but it's not everyone's thing. It would absolutely be my pick if you like the Souls games, or gothic/cosmic horror, but if you want an also great, but much more approachable game, you should go for God of War.

Update:

The night I posted this an update came out, and since then I have not had the game lock up again.

The slowdown and occasional hitching persists, but I’d call it minor performance issues instead of major at this point

I'm glad it's working better for you now!

Ice Cream Beat in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep HD. I hear it actually worked better on the original version, but on PS3 there was some nasty latency you had to just instinctively learn, and it's a rhythm game...

I don't have the game so this is just a shot in the dark, but I wonder if hard lock is related to where the game is loading from?

@zuldim@quipido@secondpersonshooter are you running off sd card or builtin memory?

64GB Samsung microSD card

I'm also running off of an SD card.

@secondpersonshooter: I've played in both, but primarily in handheld as well. That's very strange, I've had the aforementioned hitching, and I had sound completely stop until a relaunch once, but I haven't had any hard locks or major frame drops. Maybe I'm just lucky?

Weird, is this more a problem in later levels? I've being playing it for the past few days, but haven't noticed anything except occasional hitching when I open a door for some reason, but I've only made it past the second floor once or twice.

@drflapjack: Ok, you're the first person I've seen who said they also caught it, so I'm glad to know I'm not crazy. Maybe it's petty, but it really took me out of the movie.

@frostyryan: That's true, there is so much run-of-the-mill crap that the films with ambition always stand out. And, I mean, I'm a horror fan, I've fallen into that trap of overhyping things before myself.

I'm glad people found it so scary, and it has been a movie that I've thought a lot about since I saw it. Horror is so subjective, I definitely think it's a well made film, just maybe not one that worked for me.

I liked the movie, but I don't think I liked it as much as everyone else seems to. I like my horror movies to be scary/unnerving throughout, but most of the movie felt like a decent family drama with a horror movie tacked onto it in the last act. The acting is genuinely great throughout, and watching the film deal with grieving in such a raw way was intensely hard to watch.

A few negatives:

  • I don't like it when movies have that scene where someone is sitting in lit class, having some book described to them, but *actually* the teacher is describing what the themes of the film are going to be, and this did that. "Is it more tragic to think that *I can't remember what book they were supposedly talking about* was in control of his own destiny? Or that he was just a cog in the machine and had no control at all?" foreshadowed the cult manipulation angle so hard it felt campy to me.
  • I almost wonder if this was a problem with my screening somehow, but I don't know how it would be? There were four or five lines throughout the film that were so obviously dubbed in post due to a last minute dialog change, that the actor's lips didn't match AT ALL. Scenes where the actor would be facing the camera head on, and the line delivery clearly wouldn't match their lips in the slightest. If it's actually in the film, it was the most amateurish thing I've seen in a wide release movie in years given the frequency and obviousness of when it happened... If it was a problem with my screening, then obviously that's on my theater, but it seems like it would either all be poorly synced, or none of it would be? It was incredibly distracting. Also there's a scene where it's supposed to be 1:45AM, but the whole thing is lit like it's like 7:30 in the morning, and that was goofy.
  • Once the movie starts actually shifting away from family drama into proper horror with the seance it really does have some excellent scares, but that's like over an hour into the movie. I know it can be argued that the first hour is setting the tone, and the slow start is unnerving the audience, but I didn't find the first hour to be particularly unnerving in a horror way, just... Well, difficult to watch. Which is good film-making, and acting it just wasn't the kind of film I thought it would be.
  • Peter's actor gives a great performance, except he can't convincingly cry at all, and it was kind of hilarious.

The ending is killer though. Honestly it's a weird film. I think if I'm evaluating it as a drama, it's pretty excellent, but it sold itself as a horror movie, and I don't feel like it delivers on that promise until the very final moments. I feel like I got it oversold to me, because horror fans are one of the more excitable fan-bases out there. I feel like this happens about three times a year, where a horror film that has ambitions beyond jump scares (and, indeed, wants to be about something) comes out, and horror fans immediately sell it as THE BEST HORROR FILM IN YEARS, and then I see it, and I'm like... Yeah, it's fine. It happened for me with The Babadook, It Follows, A Quiet Place... All good movies that my personal experience with suffered, just because I'd had them oversold to me.

Good film though.
