My next two hours of Bloodborne, played several hours after the first, went surprisingly well. In fact, I only died once. The area which had gotten the best of me in my last attempt was my first challenge this time around, and I cleared it with relative ease. By this time, my baiting skills are pretty good, having learned the ropes through notable failures. Afterwards, I was confronted by the bridge. First, however, it is time for a bit of honesty.

Bloodborne: My Story of Hope and Despair, but Mostly Despair (Part One – Lessons Learned)
As I sit here typing, my eyes hurt a bit. I feel tense and a bit stressed. Why, you might ask? Well, I just played my first two hours of Bloodborne. If this is your first time reading about my experience be sure to click here to read the prequel to this series which explains why I decided to take a dive into Bloodborne. Well, now that you have done that, let me detail my experience.
Bloodborne: My Story of Hope and Despair, but Mostly Despair (The Prequel)
I am a fool. I have never played any of the Dark Souls games (or Demon Souls) and in general, I am not good at difficult games. Typically, I will play things on an easier difficulty so I can ensure I play-through it with little trouble. When I go back to a game I will play it on a higher difficulty, but I only like being challenged by something I have beaten before. Well, it is time to accept a new challenge and get my ass kicked. I bought Bloodborne.
Bloodborne Impressions (Part One)
If I could sum up Bloodborne in two words, those words would be buy now! Not only is From Software’s newest entry the video game/PS4 exclusive we deserved and needed, it is the game that we have wanted!!! I am only about 12 hours into well over 50+ hour game, and already I want to give this game a perfect rating! However in the interest of fairness, I break down my first impressions of this game into two main categories, gameplay and story/graphics.
Impressions – Dragon Ball Xenoverse (Part Three)
As I play this game I grow to love it and seem to gain another reason to be frustrated with it. Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoyed my 20-30 hours so far as a Saiyan, now level 46. This game is a great fighting game. The RPG elements are nice, but they could be a lot better. However, the moves are just getting better, even though the difficulty is spiking like no other.
