POPULARITY
It won't end nicely. Not this time. Welcome back to the podcast! Today, on a special epilogue episode, we're going to be taking another look at Bloodborne. This is a FromSoftware action RPG, tragically confined to the Sony ecosystem, but still containing a lot of the genre trappings of the games related to Dark Souls. However, the combat has ben retooled to be faster and more aggressive and the setting has been moved from medieval dark fantasy to gothic and Lovecraftian horror. Similarly to Sekrio, From, even when experimenting with genres and themes outside of their typical wheelhouse, manages to create a shockingly complete package. The mechanics of the notoriously difficult series play into the unfathomable nature of cosmic horror, the gothic werewolf stuff has a consistent narrative throughline into the otherworldly stuff, it's all very well considered. It still uses the Dark/Demon's Souls style of storytelling that leaves the burden of interpretation on the player, but it works especially well in a world in which clear answers would run counter to the game's themes. It's a fantastic game and one we wanted to take another crack at given that it's been eight years since our original episode. We're going to be talking about the interplay between the studio's signature style and the game's themes, how the weapon mechanics change the way you approach Bloodborne compared to other Soulslikes, and we give a massive shoutout to our boy Floory. Thank you for (re) joining us again this week! Without accounting for some anomalies here and there, we've released around three hundred episodes of this podcast over ten years and Bloodborne has been one of those that seemed ripe for the epilogue series given its age relative to how much we like it as a game. If you haven't played the game yet, is it because you don't own a Playstation? That would be a good reason. If you do own one, what's up? Do you hate quality? Let us know in the comments below or over on our Discord! Next time is an extremely special episode leading into some also special announcements, given that it is Episode 200 and on the cusp of our ten year anniversary, so we're finally playing the game that we are the last two people on Earth to have not played, Minecraft! We hope you'll join us then, and keep an eye out for the upcoming news.
Listen here meow, Super Troopers 3 is coming, but not right meow. Gamescom is in full swing, and opening night live did not disappoint. PlayStation is joining its rivals, in raising prices on its 5 year old console, but at least the ODSTs are dropping into Helldivers 2? Plus Casting news for Scary Movie 6, The Hunt for Gollum and Avengers Doomsday. That and more, come take a listen,
FromSoftware vender tilbage til rødderne, men er det besøget værd? Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon er et mech-baseret action spil udviklet af From Software, og udgivet af Bandai Namco.Fires of Rubicon er det 16 spil i Armored Core franchisen, men der er gået hele 10 år siden den sidste udgivelse i serien, som var Armored Core ; Verdict Day, og som udkom tilbage i 2013 på PlayStation 3 og Xbox 360.Men hvorfor er der gået så lang tid? Det skyldes formentlig, at FromSoftware kom på landkortet ved at skabe en helt ny spil genre i spil industiren. En genre der blev født i FromSofts Demons Souls fra 2009, og efterfølgende er blevet døbt "Souls Like genren". Siden har FromSoftware lavet den populære Dark Souls trilogi, det PlayStaton eksklusive Bloodborne, det anmelderroste Sekrio og fænomenet Elden Ring fra sidste, (et spil der også var Arkadens Game of the year i 2022).Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon føles derfor som et kig tilbage til FromSoftwares rødder. Armored Core VI er allerede den bedst sælgende titel i franchisen, men om det skyldes spillets kvaliteter eller det navn FromSoftware har opbygget, er spørgsmålet? For kan man i dag spille et FromSoftware spil uden at have visse forventninger? Kan Armored Core VI stå på egne ben? Og er det overhovedet et godt spil? Lyt med og få svaret på det, og meget meget mere.
Hans's pick for August was Phasmophobia, and the guys get gabby about ghosts. Ah Wai is built different. Alex thinks there is only three Bash Bros. Hans wants to believe. Nick almost bought Sekrio for everyone. ***** OFFICIAL PARTNERSHIPS Gamer Wear: https://gamerwear.com/pages/_go_?ref=3314:132640&discount=BashBros ***GET 10% OFF WHEN YOU USE CODE 'BashBros' AT CHECKOUT*** ****** SOCIAL MEDIA Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/nssbashbros Follow us on Twitter: @NSS_BashBros Follow us on Instagram: @nssbashbros
