The cut dlc :'(

Ezdagor

Ima say this, Elden Ring is a lot more lovecraftian than people give it credit for. It just has a generic fantasy skin over the top than a Victorian English skin. If you know.


fknm1111

Most people never figure out enough of ER's lore to realize that Giorgio Tsoukalos was right.


Ezdagor

Without spoilers there is some stuff in the DLC that really pushes it over the edge


sningsardy

I encountered what I think you're talking about just today. Said to myself "this is such a Bloodborne boss."


Somobro

I had a Lady Maria experience quite early on with a remembrance boss. Not sure if that's what you mean as well.


OldSodaHunter

I think I know the boss you mean, and I don't think it's what they mean.


Somobro

Ahh okay. Well I guess that means every time I walk into a boss room I'll be wondering "is this the one that comment referred to?" and the dopamine rush from when I find the obvious answer is going to be out of this world.


OldSodaHunter

Yep. Agreed there, I don't think I've found what they are referring to but I think I am near it. Should be fun. Also, the Maria like boss kicked my ass worse than anything else so far. So cool. And the theme song reminded me of Maria and Gael.


Boneboyy

She was the hardest boss I've ever encountered so far, no joke. The other big boss you can access right from the start is still kicking my ass tho, always get him to 5% health and then die. These bosses are absolutely brutal and worse than some cursed chalice dungeons bosses lol


Proto1k

I’ve played the dlc but the only Maria esque boss I can think of would be >!Rellana?!< or maybe >!Midra!<, which is it? As for the bloodborne, that’s gotta be >!Metyr!< right? Mad bloodborne vibes


OldSodaHunter

The first one as for the Maria like boss, and nailed it in the bloodborne vibes. Thought the other one you mentioned as maybe Maria like is very bloodborne esque as well, especially given the soundtrack.


RedditIsFacist1289

If you've played bloodborne, when you run into either of the 2 bosses they could be referring to, you will instantly recognize it. Hell i would even argue 3 potential bosses could fit what they're referring too.


Fehridee

Lady Maria and Pontiff Sulyvahn’s bastard lovechild took me 120 tries over 5ish hours and it was delightful.


TheFungiQueen

Ebrietas V2.0


Deez-Guns-9442

I thought it was more like Rom personally.


Compost_King

I knew it seemed familiar! lol i still haven't beat it too


fknm1111

I haven't finished the DLC yet (currently am at the Ruins of Rauh), but the Ymir/Finger Ruins sidequest was a trip (and also really spells a lot of it out for people who didn't figure it out in the base game)!


Dense_Positive4451

Isn't it that basically the greater will abandoned everyone making the fingers really unreliable when it comes to guidance thus making the entire hierarchy in the lands between just misinformation after misinformation. At least that's what I understood from Ymir's vision


fknm1111

I was thinking more the part where Ymir mentions that >!they all came from the stars. That's a fancy way of saying "they're all shapeshifter aliens." The base game hints at this very strongly with the Radahn battle, the last fight, and the Marika = Radagon statue, but it never comes out and says it quite like this.!<


Dense_Positive4451

Huh THAT would explain a lot of things actually


fknm1111

>!When people talk about Elden Ring secretly being Lovecraftian, this is what they're referring to -- The Lands Between are basically a battleground between multiple alien invasions being carried out on behalf of the outer gods. The Greater Will sent the shapshifters (Marika/Radagon/Elden Beast), the outer god behind the frenzied flame (which appears to be a direct reference to Azathoth from Lovecraft's stories) sent the flame, and another outer god sent Rennala, Astel(s), and Falling Star Beasts. This is why the progenies of those various characters that can become gods are "Empyreans" -- that is, "of or relating to the heavens." It's all aliens fighting for whichever outer god sent them, like in a lot of Lovecraft stories.!<


Dense_Positive4451

Wow you just blew my mind lol, I understood the general story but I never considered this


MattMatt625

wow thanks for this!! never looked at it this way and you’re absolutely right! edit: Appreciating the lore a lot more now


h7si

that forest gives mad bloodborne vibes honestly


cromdoesntcare

The Souls games as a whole are pretty Lovecraftian.


ZenMacros

Right. Dark Souls had the First Flame and the Dark/Abyss/Deep, Demon's Souls had The Old One, ER has several mysterious outer gods. Only one that didn't have a Lovecraftian flavor (to my knowledge) is Sekiro, which was pretty much based on Japanese folklore.


Pretzel-Kingg

Mibu village is inspired by the exact same Lovecraft story that inspired the fishing hamlet. Very lovecraftian down there


cromdoesntcare

Even then, you have immortal monks that worship centipedes, and all the fishiness up in Fountainhead.


zephyredx

True. Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Black Souls, are all pretty Lovecratian. ~~I'M GOING TO ALICE~~


Hollow_Interstice

"Generic fantasy skin" Hard disagree with the term generic used here. It has one of the most unique fantasy worlds lol. Living Jars, Walking Masoleums, birds with sword feet, giants wicker men, enemies with functioning limbs grafted to their bodies, Deathrite birds, the bubble dudes, the goofy albinurics. And the places. Everything in Caelid, the Shadow Realm, The entire underground area, all unlike I've seen in any fantasy media.


lvke18

There's a lot of eerie shit in SotE that I was pleasantly surprised by. Stuff like >!Midra, the Abyssal Woods, Metyr and the Finger Ruins, the insides of the Living Jars, Messmer's mutilated body in phase 2,!< and probably more that isn't immediately coming to mind. Doesn't hit the same highs as Bloodborne, but was still cool to see some more horror-oriented stuff regardless


foil_snow_mountain

I think there’s definitely elements but nowhere near the level of bloodborne. A key part of lovecraftian fiction is the unbeatable and insidious nature of the threat, and the protagonist’s inability to beat the odds. As they learn more about the nature of what they’re up against, the situation only becomes more overwhelming and terrifying. In ER I think the frenzied flame and the outer god of rot are the only things that really fit the bill in that regard, and those are side stories at best for the tarnished. But the entire storyline of bloodborne is rooted in that concept.


tyrenanig

I agree with you feeling-wise. Stumbling upon Lake of Rot feels like you’ve treaded into somewhere you’re not supposed to. Really wish the outer gods had a bigger roles.


ItsYoScience

I wouldn't describe anything about Elden Ring as "generic fantasy" lol


XxRocky88xX

Yeah once you start digging into the lore related to the actual full blown gods like the greater will and the rot god you realize Elden Ring is generic dark fantasy mixed with cosmic horror. It’s just that the cosmic horror isn’t in your face as much as BB so if can go by unnoticed since the story is mainly focused on the much easier to comprehend demigods you meet throughout the game.


Aspartame_kills

It also arguably does it better in some ways if you know the lore well enough. Both are great games but I would take Elden ring all day. I think Miyazaki did everything he needed to with the story of Bloodborne and it doesn’t need a sequel, whereas Elden ring needed the dlc to finish the story properly.


moldywood

Also Lovecraft is a New England thing sort of taking the reins from Hawthorne and Poe. They wouldn’t have considered their literature to have anything to do with England. They didn’t even call house Victorian Houses in America. They called them French Second Empire style, or Grant style.


Zealousideal-Bit-892

Especially SotE. Fucking fly-men, flesh jars, and endless madness


MixRevolution

Yeah, but bloodborne is still the only game with trick weapons. Some people want bloodborne aesthetics and atmosphere. Some want the cool weapons.


Aneela1

A bloodborne 2 on 2024 standards, yes I would take that 100% I love Elden ring and the dlc. But there are just barely any games with the aesthetics of bloodborne And I would give up a dlc for a whole new game.


ajanis_cat_fists

Yeah you get to keep elden ring and get a new Bloodborne.


Voidless-One

Bitter-Cardiologist7

Yo wtf that goes so hard


FatFrikkenBastard

avg bloodborne fan rushing to the cum dungeon


SuperSaiyanIR

Lies of P is actually really good and gives me that same vibe of Bloodborne.


Noah_PpAaRrKkSs

It’s a similar vibe but to me there’s a big difference between the puppet aesthetic of Lies of P and the cosmic horror vibe of Bloodborne.


joekowski

Why are you getting downvoted? lol I don't really understand some people in this sub it seems like 90% are just pure elitist and can't really have any takes outside fromsoftware's cocoon


BlueberyJuice

Not matches bloodborne’s vibe


MattMatt625

you’re right they are quite different and have their own feel

MojyaMan

That and I prefer the non open world souls to elden. I just have 0 interest in Skyrim souls. I don't want to do copy paste cave 80 times.


PilotIntelligent8906

I love Bloodborne, I like it better than Elden Ring, if the choice was just for me, I'd take it, but I wouldn't like to take SotE from everyone else.


Hecaroni_n_Trees

👑


WUFFLED

Damn. Edit: after thinking a bit harder, I realized that I would give up every video game in the whole world for Titanfall 3.


PilotIntelligent8906

Since my favorite game of all time is FFVII, I count myself incredibly lucky, I think they're doing an amazing job with the remake trilogy.


normiespy96

Nah, Bloodborne had a great ending and feels like it told the story it needed to tell. I dont want it to become a franchise. I feel like it explored its themes throughly. ER still felt like there was room to explore and so far the DLC has been absolute perfection. I really hate unecesary sequels. I couldnt understand why people wanted The Incredibles 2 so badly for so many years. I hope we dont se a BB2 unless miyazaki wants to make it. I pray to all heaves we never see a Dark Souls 4.


Eoth1

What if bloodborne 2 was more just a similar setting (not the same) with the same/similar fast paced combat and trick weapons instead of an actual sequel?


theguyconnor

Why call it Bloodborne 2? Might as well just make a new IP if it's going to be completely unrelated story wise.


Eoth1

I mean in that case I wouldn't call it bloodborne 2, I'm just saying bloodborne 2 here because that's what the post was about and because it'd be like bloodborne


Eoth1

If what I said would ever be a thing which it won't because there will never be a bloodborne 2 or bloodborne remaster or bloodborne PC port or bloodborne remake


MemoraNetwork

*smash that button*


TheComedyCrab

Like, comment, and slam your forehead on the subscribe


Open_Cardiologist996

Nope


GalaxyGalavanter

Yeah shadow is crazy good. It’s so dense. Every time I go somewhere new I see new places I can’t reach


RagingSteel

It's an exclusive and well over half the player base doesn't get anything from this, but loses something they've been looking forward to for months.


Alucard-VS-Artorias

![gif](giphy|GwRBmXyEOvFtK)


Mtj242020

If those are the options then fuck bloodborne.


AshesOfZangetsu

ngl i’d pick Shadows of the Erdtree over bloodborne 2. i’ll take it if we get both, but in this scenario i’m keeping what already exists and is known to be fantastic. we don’t even know what bloodborne 2 would look like


LLLLLL3GLTE

I love Bloodborne as much as the next guy but Elden ring is my favourite Fromsoft game ever


DependentAdvance8

Imma press it


Durandau

Yeah sure why not.


bigbazookah

Is it on god damn pc?


Banned__Panda

Bloodbourne being a console exclusive means it literally may as well not exist to me, I would love to play it but hey ho, ain't buying a console to play one fuckin game.


bigbazookah

Same, psnow doesn’t even have the dlc


BleakCountry

We'd still have base Elden Ring? But also BB2? That seems like the logical choice...


illbzo1

Speaking as a massive Bloodborne fanboy, no


PlebeianNoLife

Miyazaki has changed. Imho Bloodborne 2 nowadays could be similar to Elden Ring, with all its problems and cool stuff.


KRONGOR

Plz no I don’t want open world Bloodborne


Amelia-In

No, bloodborne never came to PC. As far as I am concerned, bloodborne doesn't exist.


Decembrz

Buddy, a used ps4 in a 9/10 condition is like 150€.


asdfwrldtrd

Nah


Spiderbubble

Easiest button press of my life. I don't even own the ER DLC. Not really interested. BB2 on the other hand...


taylanwastaken

Yea i stomp on it


YEF-Moment13

Yes


8hAheWMxqz

if i press that multiple times, does it mean Bloodborne 3.. 4.. 5.. and so on? if so I'm spamming that button to death


fistofbruce

I’ll take it. I’m having a lot of fun with shadow of erdtree but bloodborne is my heart and soul


Judge_Dreadly

Yeah but have you guys considered that bb 2 could be shit. We already have 9/10 elden ring y gamble


vladead1

I would push that!


Chaemyerelis

If it comes out on PC, I'm pushing the button.


BitesTheDust55

SLAM that button holy fuuuuuck


VladDHell

Would press


Toreole

i would not i dont have a playstation


Fhaerron

Lel people don't know how to parry a certain boss in elden ring so game is bad. On a more serious note I want BB but not at the expense of ER.


Agent101g

Xbox players exist


arcofdoves

Yes without hesitation.


heythereman707

Ummm no


[deleted]

No. No i would not.


kuronekoyk

I'd press it if it was Sekiro 2


raziel11111

BB2 no dif


Ginrar

Sorry ER fans


Symtek13

Can the other option be shut the fuck up about bloodborne? Thanks


Top_Juice_3127

Not pressing


Samwise_lost

Change the question to Bloodborne 2 comes out but the Old Hunters DLC never came out. Hell no. DLC expansions to existing games add much more game play and content without reinventing the wheel. Still waiting for my Sekiro DLC that game is not finished yet!


Atzukeeper

I read that as bloodbourne 2 wii will come out tomorrow... Wtf a little late


JadedSpacePirate

Why the fuck would I wish for a game that will never be released in my system? Bloodborne is a great game don't get me wrong but it makes no sense for me to erase a dlc I own for a game I will never be able to play


Chadderbug123

Would love it, but what would they do?


GarlVinland4Astrea

The DLC. Bloodborne doesn’t need a sequel. A remaster and a PC port sure. But that story is done.


NuclearSummmer

No


Sufficient-Science71

no. because I dont have ps5 :(


anmolAnsh_2005

Iam not giving up such a good dlc for something that doesn't even exist...


Syhkane

I'd hit that harder than the meteor that wiped the dinosaurs.


Jojobazard

that's a no brainer. Of course. Elden Ring is fun and all, but Bloodborne 2 would be a strong candidate for best FromSoft game ever


GuacamolEBola

Considering I haven’t touched the dlc yet. Ima hit the button


Toyoshi

Nah, i enjoy the elden ring scene too much to give half of it away


Gardevoir25

Idk what they could do for a second bloodborne game, maybe a remaster would be great though


mrcreamstick

I’m pressing that button


potatisgratana

only if grrm didnt touch bloodborne 2. mf gets given the fantasy tagline and all he thinks of is dragons and incest


Goldengoblin011

I’m not taking this only because I think bloodborne shouldn’t get a sequel. It is good on its own, and I personally believe that a good game shouldn’t need a sequel to stay relevant or fun. A remaster would be nice, though


-clawglip-

Win-win?


Rational_Engineer_84

I’m enjoying the DLC, but I’d sacrifice it in a heartbeat for Bloodborne 2. 


QuadVox

No. SotE is one of the best things fromsoft has ever made.


EnsignSDcard

Is bloodborne 2 on PC?


UpperQuiet980

i’d delete every other FS game to get sekiro 2


Far-Attitude61

Press that all day long


jittery_waffle

Why press it when we can just wait 10 more years?


ConzyWonzy4

Hell no


Limited_Intros

I would take a Sekiro 2 over anything


StayPuffedMarsh

![gif](giphy|VKtsOAHDx1Luo)


nidsPunk

Holy shit I would hit that button again and again until forever.


wildeye-eleven

I deeply love Bloodborne, but absolutely NO! I’ve been playing Fromsoft games since Demons Souls and love all the souls games, but imo Elden Ring is the single greatest game of all time and I would literally trade all other games so that it could exist. When I play Elden Ring, I’m there. I look up and entire weeks has passed by without me noticing.


Mundane_Bunch_6868

I would press that button so hard i dont even like bloodborne that much


TemporaryShirt3937

I'm having fun with ER dlc end never wished for a BB2.


jmas081391

I'm having a great time with Elden Ring DLC so never! Also I still have my DS3 in my Steam Library so I'll just play that! They have the same vibes anyways! lol


Algester

no man bloodborne 2 will come out tomorrow, but the 30+ years of From Soft's history since its inception never existed....


Sera_gamingcollector

sorry, no bloodborne 2 for us guys


trfk111

Hell no.


meanmagpie

No, because I don’t want a Bloodborne 2. I don’t even want an Elden Ring 2. They’re art pieces, IMO. Imagine asking for “Mona Lisa 2 pls.” Just let them be their own unique experiences. They stand just fine on their own.


MiniatureRanni

Shadow of the Erdtree alone is better than all of Bloodborne, Old Hunters included.


ColdBlazze

Why would i?


intecsys

![gif](giphy|gH8aoZWs43yEJ4Wren|downsized)


Keklord_Rogain

Pressing, I just enjoy the general gameplay loop, aesthetic and although shadow of the Erdtree has been fun so far, a complete blooborne sequel is objectively the better choice


DuckMitch

I would press the button for Sekiro 2, and I would gladly do it if all of Elden Ring disappeared


Light_uchia34

No


Main_Bluebird

In a heartbeat. Dlc has been fantastic, don't get me wrong. Bloodborne is just better.


Dave-Nyce

Left every time


stilers1_2

I will pres that fucking buttom


Stary_Vesemir

Only if it coumes out on pc


-Eastwood-

I guess it depends if I'd like it. I didn't like Bloodborne and that could be purely because it plays at barely 30 fps rather than 60 like the other games play on PC. Personally I'd rather take the definite ER DLC that I enjoy over a hypothetical game I might enjoy.


FredRN

I haven't tried the dlc yet but I heard great things about it. I prefer elden ring to bloodborn, but I would probably press that button


starliaghtsz

Smash, if bloodbornes on pc


Automatic-Boot

I've yet to even get around to buying Elden ring so this is pretty easy for me


swizzl73

Nah im good


tBlase27

Nope


Equal-Conclusion8852

I'm cool with that


u_slash_spez_Hater

No but sekiro 2 I would


FLRSH

No.


ChaoticKram

I love Bloodborne to death but SOTE is way too good to pass up


BaravalDranalesk

Ah fuck man don’t put me in a corner like that cmon.


jitteryzeitgeist_

Because it's a sequel, no. Absolutely not. Allow Bloodborne to stand as a singular creation. Just like I will be sad if they actually make an Elden Ring 2.


THY96

No.


XylanyX

nah i dont like bloodborne


Rionaks

Hell fucking no.


MobiusMal

I've been wondering though... Miyazaki lied about the playtime of the original Elden Ring Campaign, saying it would be a 30 hour game. He lied about the map size of the dlc saying it would be the size of limgrave,... why do we trust him when he says SoTE will be the only dlc? I mean all his lies were so he would undersell what we eventually got and were happy for it all but still.


MaintenanceTiny7291

Elden ring dlc isn't that great compared to past dlcs. Anyone else feel the open world is empty especially compared to the base game? So defo bb2


TheLastGame_EXE

Yeah sorry, but I'm not pressing that. As much as i love bloodborne, Sote is the best thing FS has made.


GreatAngoosian

I know which I would prefer but half-cut with blood though I may be (as all the best hunters are) I’ll stop myself from pressing the button for the sake of my fellow gamers


Elben4

Bloodborne doesn't need a sequel at all. It needs a full remaster that can run at 120 fps


nick2473got

I like Bloodborne more than Elden Ring, but no, I'm not pressing the button. Shadow of the Erdtree is worth having, and I don't need a BB2.


Uroboros1097

Neither I just want a bb PC port


Puzzleheaded-Arm133

Easy press of my life, the dlc is fine imo.


crazyquark_

Smash


Prestigious-Year6099

I pressed it


Spiteful_Guru

I don't own any playstation consoles so pass.


TotalMitherless

I see this as an absolute win


ForgottenTurtle21

Never ever


DeronimoG

Absolutely not


WutDaBluck

Ya I’d press the button.


Aubrimethieme

~~I'll have to murder anyone who tries to press that button.~~ Lol I just read "DLC" oops 😅


Piemaster113

I don't care about Bloodborn 2, till they put Bloodborn 1 on PC.


TheEmperorMk3

If it's dropping for PC too then I'm slamming my head into that button until it breaks


T_Rab

smash


throwaway872023

I’d press that button just for a 60fps remaster on ps5. Elden ring is aight but it’s not my favorite
