    This game comes from the man who really made Dark Souls and Demons Souls what they were/are. He didn't really do much (but consult maybe?) on Dark Souls 2, and I think you can really tell.

    This will be a "Souls game" at its core, but don't expect a 1:1 comparison between Bloodborne. I would venture to say if you like "Souls games" then you will enjoy Bloodborne. I know I more than likely will. If you didn't care for the games then I would say you will probably be in the same boat.

    Ok thanks i think ill skip it personally im not someone who plays game for a challenge at all its actually my least fav part. Story, Characters, Atmosphere. I dont really enjoy challenging games all that much i actually sometimes prefer to play games on easy if im replaying them just for the story like a few rpg's.

    @bcooper21: Now, there is plenty of story in the Souls games, but most of it is only as known as you want it to be. I have no idea how this will be handled in Bloodborne, but I don't expect it to be any different.

    I only played demon souls i got to lvl 30 then stopped i cant say anything about other games but story was very minor at least for start and its not main part of the game you really have to look for it.
