It's Just a Game - Bloodborne Tribute

I made a remaster of this video, you can watch it here: • A Tribute to Bloodborne :D
I can usually tell what I like or don't like about a game and why I like it or not, but that's not the case with Bloodborne. I just can't express the love I feel for it, and as much as I can spend a lot of time thinking about the perfect words to describe it, I'll leave that for you. Share in the comments your thoughts about this masterpiece, I'd love to know your experiences!
"Bloodborne is like a friend to me, the kind of friend that makes you sure things are gonna be okay."

and if you enjoyed the video, please consider giving it a like! it was really tough to make since I edit on the cell phone, I know it's far to be perfect, but I tried my best. anyways, I hope you enjoy it!

Now we only nee a remaster for the actual game

[@Abysswalker8220]

Aye. The night and the dream were long. Aye the age of fire burned longer then it should’ve. My friends, we’ve been Chosen undead, Bearers of the Curse, Unkindled Ash, Good Hunters and Lonely Wolves. We’ve soared to the heights of Anor Londo and delved to the Depths of the Chalice dungeons. We’ve met every challenge with an unbreakable will to rival that of a certain Wolf Knight. and now as we head into a new world with new trials I beg you to Hearken unto that which we’ve accomplished. To the bonds forged and the Prey Slaughtered. So what do you say, Tarnished? Shall we venture forth together into this new realm together?

[@Halberick]

I'm not able to type such a deep text with a deep meaning, but indeed, my friend. we lived all of this, and now we have a new world to conquer. may the good blood guide our ways fellow hunter, because in just a few days we're going to be part of something bigger, and of course, we'll do that together.

@@smoker5989 It was the first Souls Game I ever beat, I often times chose to stay home and play it instead of going out to do pills with my “friends.” My love for that game that they use to make fun of me for actually is part of why I won over an ex-girlfriend of mine as the passion I had behind showing it to her and explaining the lore of the game/how the lore of the game helped with my depression is something she adored about me. Even though the relationship didn’t work out we were together for 4 years and she made me a better man. The community and people I met within it also helped me grow as a person. I can go on and on, but if I never downloaded that game I would NOT be here right now; or who I have become at the least.

After my fathers passing.. I sold my bike and got a ps4.. I was out of gaming since school. I had no idea.. I thought ill play some racing games, a bunch of shooters to pacify my mind and stay away from emotional stress. And then the first game without knowing anything about it i bought was Bloodborne.... It was a privelge fellow hunters to hunt with you... to slay you in Mergos loft, to assist and invade... and to know, after all i love fashion souls too.. And that though the nights may be long, souls maybe dark, unkindled or lost humanity - there is a warrior in all of us.. Godspeed Fellow Hunters.. May the good blood guide your way.. The music still haunts and I get still get chills when i hear those boots, tbose footseps treading to slay... ❤

[@shmixedNshmooved]

Still my all time favorite game, even after the release of Elden Ring. This world will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@locallfreak4444]

Same here, elden ring is a close second but I don't think it has the capability to pull me into its world and immerse me into the lore and settings that Bloodborne does so beautifully

[@linah1998]

same here! Elden Ring is like an enhanced Dark Souls title and really shines in that aspect. However, Bloodborne's lore, characters and setting still appeal to me more :) (and I think it has more replayability, especially the DLC)

[@KerkenSoda]

It's not just a game, it's also a way to fight against life and escape from it at the same time. They are not just games, they are feelings, experiences and a salvation from this dry reality in which we live because, despite everything, just like the hunter, we must rise from sleep and continue fighting our own beasts.

[@darkmelusina8388]

I really love this. I think I realized this game was truly special when I discovered Gascoigne's story, and his whole family's tragic fate. I love the fact that the player never gets to know the truth about Viola : did Gascoigne kill her, or did he go mad after finding her dead body ? Both options are equally tragic, and I think Gascoigne's story really sets the tone for the whole game. It's a real masterpiece.

[@ravenclaw3439]

It truly hurt when I saw the older sisters body at the bottom of the latter after giving her her sister's blood stained ribbon. It felt like I was personally responsible for both their deaths even though there was nothing that could have been done. No way I could have know.

[@Failsafe99]

None of those who don't play these games understand what these games are to us who do play them. To us, they are a life we never lived, yet we still experienced through the eyes of the characters we play as. They are a life we lived, even if we didn't Live it.

[@theonewhouploadsnothing1704]

Couldn’t agree more. My latest play through of Bloodborne had me follow a subconscious story for my character. From making a pure strength build for the lols, to fighting every corner of the world to prove that strength. Trying other weapons for the fun of it but always going back to the Kirk hammer when in a tough spot. Just wanting to collect the beast claws for fun and wanting to see them at their most powerful. Falling in love with the Claws, boosting them up so high. Feeling their power when tearing through bosses and upgrading them in the DLC. Fighting pvp with them but could never beat the guy with Gehrman’s Scythe. Continuing the story up to Mergo’s Wet Nurse and killing her with aggressive ease from the claws. Now finally walking up to Gehrman for the second to last fight, but… I couldn’t. I wanted to see the strength carry on and beat him and declare myself Great One of Beasts. But talking to him and his mercy. I knelt. In my final moments, I didn’t feel that strength. I felt the weakness of giving myself up to the beast. I wanted to continue that character in new game + but I couldn’t. He chose humanity in the end. He chose rest. I can’t believe that a game made me so emotional over a initial meme build but. It happened and I couldn’t be happier for it.

[@thundageon5962]

Even though Elden Ring is Fromsoft's magnum opus, Bloodborne still has a perfect place in my heart.

[@amazed_consumer3176]

This game is my all time favorite. The story demonstrates the folly of making power our only focus, as so many different factions strive to ascend to the status of great one, but in the end, they all fail, and everyone ends up as mindless beasts, or worse. It shows us to be content with what we have and what we are, and to realize that we are who we are for a reason, and we don't need to ascend to some superhuman version of ourselves to be valued in this world. Gascoigne's daughter at the beginning of the tribute brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for this

[@Halberick]

I agree with every single one of your words. and thank you for sharing that. I'm glad you felt something while watching, I definitely got emotional while editing too. this game is a masterpiece.

[@DRSethFCM]

It also shows that to ignore the physical, the mental, the spiritual, any aspect of life is folly. The scholars sought liberation of the Mind from the Body, the Church sought to elevate the body, and the soul, but was ignorant of the Eldritch Truthes and their dangers, and the hunters ignored the soul, honor decency, in pursuit of the old blood in the village of Kosm. All of them fell, because they lacked something, the 'Good Hunter' is strong of mind and body, and in the ascendance ending pursues awakening and secrets without giving into madness or seeking an 'easy' way out. Besides that, they do it having come there a weakened person, unable to carry on and seeking salvation, but in the end they saved Themselves, the game shows that rather than trying to 'transcend yourself' the only way to Ascendence...is to elevate yourself, to become the better You through effort and perseverance, that no matter how strong the 'medicine' the only true cure...comes from within you.

The hardest thing is seeing those who helped you on your hunt devolve into madness from the clutching oppressive nature of the Great Ones. No matter how hard you try, you can't save everyone, even worse those that you do save are only spared for a while longer and may be subject to even worse fates than being devoured by beasts. Bloodborne feels truly and utterly hopeless, there's nothing you can do for this suffering world around you other than simply watch and suffer with it.
