It ' s completely alright to have a PS 4 just as a Bloodborne dongle for your TV , imo . It may be personal preference , but I love that game so much . I love Dark Souls , too , of course . But I personally prefer the victorian setting , the more active , faster playstyle and the bosses and you won ' t believe it I even think the music is better . I don ' t want to hype you up too much to heights , where the game would ultimately disappoint you and make you regret your decision , but IMO , it ' s one of the best games ever made . But even if you know Dark Souls , there is still the danger , that this will be a let down for you AT FIRST . You are used to silky smooth 60 fps on your PC and a sharp image . Bloodborne runs at 1080 p , but with a lot of artistic filters , blurring the shit out of it and it struggles to achieve 30 fps . So your eyes will have to get used to it . You won ' t see it after an hour anymore and will even appreciate its beauty later , but at first it might scare you away a little . So keep that in mind . Also , the game feels very spinoffy at first . Kinda like a Dark Souls Lite . And I won ' t lie to you , the customization options aren ' t as wide as in Dark Souls . There are only like four or five different builds that make sense with smaller variations , you will always be an agile hunter with no shield There is a shield , but it ' s a joke xD and never a fatrolling tank . On top of that , there are less stats and it seems as if there is less equipment and weapons at first . But without spoiling , you will find other ways to customize your character and weapons , later in the game . And speaking of weapons , the variety is actually really big . There is just no redundancy with five different swords , that actually have the same moveset . You will later notice , that the changes to the Souls series are actually meaningful . And try parrying with a gun . Sounds strange , but you will see . Other than Bloodborne , you should try the exclusives that seem fine to you . I absolutely have to recommend the Uncharted series . It ' s a lot like Indiana Jones and really feels like it . It ' s much higher in quality compared to the Tomb Raider series and also more lighthearted and funny . It ' s hands down one of the best series ever made and just for everyone . When a colleague bought a PS 4 after years of only PC playing , and played Naughty Dog games Uncharted and The Last of Us , he asked me if Naughty Dog is for PSgamers kinda like what Valve is for PC players . And that captures it quite well .
