I cant even put into words how much I loved this game and how grateful I am for the community that formed from this playthrough. Thank you. See you all with RDR2 soon 🧡 Amber
I gotta say, I feel like I've watched every blind playthrough of every From game, and only a few are really worth the time. Yours is one of them. Great streamer, great content. Keep it up! And I really hope I eventually see you playing Dark Souls!
Congrats Amber!! I can't wait to be able to watch this episode. But more importantly I should remind you of that lore podcast I told you about, "The Paleblood Hunt"! I have ADHD like you so I trust that my reminder was needed lmao
I've seen dozens of Soulsborne blind playthroughs, and this has been my favorite. Fantastic humor, gameplay, and pacing of the videos. I'm glad TH-cam recommended this channel to me. I can't wait to watch you get through the rest of the Fromsoft titles.
I'm more than a year late, but I just finished watching your entire playthrough, and I have to say this has been the most fun I've had watching anyone play Bloodborne! Your insight (no pun intended) really brought a lot to the experience for me, and I can't wait to watch more of your series now.
It’s absolutely unbelievable how much your skills developed over this series! Your insightful approach to literally everything is so amazing, so many things that flew over my head you caught on your first play through, and if you ever decide to play another souls game I will be excited to watch every minute!
2:24:55 Hi Amber! The man-spider you met in the Research Hall is Patches, a long-standing FromSoftware tradition of sorts. A version of him is in nearly every game they make, including Dark Souls and Elden Ring. He's not a man-spider in the other games though. But in all versions, he messes with the player in various ways, often putting them in danger. However, he also tries to make himself seem like a helpful ally (after begging for mercy). He usually is helpful, to a point. In Bloodborne, he's the one that asked Amygdala to 'have mercy on the poor bastard', which landed you in the Nightmare Frontier the first time. You also spoke to him through the door you found him at here, but from the other side. It's not essential, but there is an encounter with him you missed in the Nightmare Frontier. You saw him dangling in the distance, but didn't walk around the area that triggers it. I wouldn't want to spoil the details for your NG+ playthrough, so you can find him later. On a related note, I recently murdered Patches on Eldin Ring, before I realized who he was. I didn't find him until mid-late game and his first encounter is a boss fight (with him). I cut him down in like 3-5 hits, and sadly didn't realize he was calling for a truce by the time they all landed. I missed his dialogue and questline entirely. RIP Patches (you lovable bastard).
2:26:00 that was Patches, a recurring character through all the Soulsborne games that FromSoft has made, ever since Demon's Souls. He very famously leads the player to places with "Treasure" where he'll leave them to die.
I know I’m late to comment on this series. But I’ve only recently discovered it and every video of this series that I’ve sat down to watch, my cat has shown up to snuggle in my lap. I guess he’s a fan too. We’ve both enjoyed this blind series and this is one of my favorite games. Keep doing your best with the channel as I’m looking forward to watching your other playthroughs! ❤
I am SO impressed by your showing. Fromsoft games are not for the weak of heart, but when you get going it's addictive and it's hard to resist that challenge once you've broken through that barrier. You were a natural, and I loved seeing you absolutely kick ass. Girl you made it look easy, especially for a first time player. Now play Elden Ring!! XD I would LOVE to see you run through that one too.
Noooo, I’m not ready for this to be over 😭 Thank you for this fantastic playthrough of Bloodborne, it has been such a joy to watch you experience all this for the first time. Highlight of the series was watching your combat skills grow. The confidence you gained in fighting when you got used to everything, when everything clicked, when you found your sort of weapon? Freaking awesome. I cannot believe how quickly you melted some bosses, girl, it was amazing stuff! But also the time that Shaun had a mind of his own and chucked that pebble at the locked door in perfect comedic timing lolol See you for RDR2, I can’t wait!
Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you so much for playing this game, and recording your first experience with it. And congrats on completing your first From Software game, it's always a good achievement! Last year it took the spot of my favourite game of all time (previous was Jet Set Radio Future, another great game, great unique art style, fun mechanics, highly recommend if you can get an OG Xbox but unfortunately the game can be expensive second-hand), and I absolutely love watching people fall in love with this game like I did. Favourite part of the series was you fighting Ludwig, he's my favourite game boss of all time, especially the music. You had such a fun/funny reaction especially to phase 2 haha! I think you said in this video it might not happen, but I definitely recommend Elden Ring, and other games in the souls series from From Software. They're similar to Bloodborne, but the earlier entries are much slower, and you can definitely feel their age. That said, they're still worth checking out, even if just to see the other great games from the same company. Happy to see you've heard of and seen Vaati's videos, he does great stuff. If you do check out other From Software games at some point I definitely think he's one of the best places to find lore videos and just interesting stuff about the games in general. If you're interested in more mechanical stuff instead of lore stuff, then check out Zullie the Witch, who picks out small abscure parts of the game via datamining, seeing how the game is put together etc., based on stuff you've said in this series I think you might find Zullie's stuff pretty interesting. And finally (sorry for the long comment btw lol), can't wait for the RDR2 playthrough! It's yet another incredible game with a beautifully written story (especially the characters!) and an absolutely stunning, dense world you can get lost in for hours.
I know I’m a year late but I’ve also played through bloodborne for the first time this year and I’ve REALLY loved watching your playthrough. I think you’re really sweet and intelligent. You’ve picked up on so many leads that I missed and finished so many bosses so so much faster than I ever could. Hope you’re doing well and sending my love
"Not the best player in the world" Better than me, for sure. You did pretty damn great from start to finish. Hope these videos keep going. Favorite part, or at least a moment I really enjoyed to watch was the kidnapping part.
favorite part: you realizing this game is something you’d love and interested in. So many laughs and shared tearful moments, it’s a wonderful game. But top moment is you trying and seeing how your preferences evolve and how the core favorite style(s) reach out further than LoZ.
You’re a joy to watch, it is funny to see your unique playstyle bulldoze through challenges that seasoned fromsoft players spend hours on. Keep being you, keep having fun, may the good blood guide your way.
Congratulations Amber! Finishing your first Fromsoft game is always a special experience. Welcome to the club! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your let's play. Hopefully, this won't be the last Fromsoftware title on your channel.
Amber you absolute blood drunk hunter legend! This was the best Bloodborne playthrough i've seen! You will soon see that Bloodborne has made you a better player and other games will seem easy to you (except Sekiro because it has much different mechanics than other From games). Can't wait to see you play Rdr2 👍.
Every time I tune in to this series I’m astounded. I’ve played through this game probably 5 or 6 times and beaten every boss and Amber still managed to find things I’ve never seen and figured out stuff that took me dozens of hours to get. Especially with certain bosses like Laurence and the Orphan I remember being like “god I wish I had played this the way she did because she figured it out so quick.” Truly an amazing series and one of the few that made me want to stick with a channel
Congrats, Amber! I think my highlight was just seeing you be so open about the whole journey. That, and you loving oft-hated areas to bits. It's so refreshing to see someone smile and laugh in places that some people curse themselves through. I was so stressed while playing this game at first and now it's become my comfort game. I haven't even finished Elden Ring yet and I keep coming back to Bloodborne to try out different weapons and builds. If you're enjoying the dungeons, remember that there are a few especially challenging (and fun!) bosses you haven't seen yet.
Sad that this is over. Bloodborne was a masterpiece and you made it even more enjoyable with your cheerful character. A note about Elden Ring is that it takes most of his gameplay from Dark souls trilogy with an upgrade to everything. Also, it is a very very long game, so if you want a short one for your next Fromsoft game, you should play Dark souls like you said (or Sekiro!).
Hi Amber, I love watching game streams, but can barely tolerate most streamers. You’re one of the few streamers who feel authentic and you have such a positive aura. Keep up the good work!
After like the first two videos I was inspired to give this game a shot. I ended up pausing my watch of your play through to finish my own. Like you, I didn't think this game was for me. But watching you play helped me see I could enjoy it. Thank you!
I know this was uploaded awhile ago but I just want to say THANK YOU so much for reading the trophy description for the ending , it really helps give you context as to what you just became and what is gonna happen . You have no idea how many countless people just skipped the trophy description and were just left completely clueless about their ending . But enough rambling I LOVED your playthrough and I love your personality . Subscribed 😊
Congratulations Amber! I’m so glad that you loved this game as much as I did! This has been one of my favorite play throughs of any game! 🧡 thank you for all your hard work!
Awesome! Well done, this video series is excellent! You SLAUGHTERED Gehrman, took me like 50 tries LOL. I've seen your DS1 play through, can't wait to see whatever FromSoft game is next for you and this channel.
Honestly this was an amazing journey. First playthrough of ANYTHING that I've followed so closely and enjoyed so much. If I had to pick my favorite moment it was probably when you started noticing all the cosmic horror elements of the game, especially with Iosefka's clinic and the supposed "alien invasion" x). I'll definitely start watching some of your other series now!
"It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be." The real difficulty in FromSoft games is more one of mindset than of skill. Not everyone is willing to try repeatedly, to see failure as progress, to view lost xp as no real setback. And that's okay. Games intended to appeal to everyone tend to be too bland for anyone to really enjoy. So, yeaf, Bloodborne isn't for everyone. But I suspect some of those who avoid it due to its reputation would enjoy it if they gave it a chance.
No, the real difficulty of most from games is perception, patience and mostly for bosses pattern reading. The reason why any from game is easier if you played at least one is because you start to take it easy and be careful, I'm guessing for her, being a game dev she was playing the way the game wanted her to play from the start.
@@nekkofrost1419 I don't disagree. But I believe that most players have the capacity for that patience and perception. But, whether due to conditioning by other games or simply being unwilling or uninterested in a more thoughtful gameplay, they don't approach FromSoft games with the necessary mindset :)
@@jonathancapps1103 I totally agree! If my bro didn't put me in this mindset i wouldn't have enjoyed any from games or possibly nioh and monster hunter.
@@jonathancapps1103 i agree with all you said. I feel elden ring is proving it even more. A lot of people decided to pick the game up because its open world, however, those who have never played a fromsoftware game are split. Some love it while others feel its confusing more than hard. But i do believe that people like you and me enjoy not fully understanding everything but enjoying the game and its depth and that feeling that no one is holding your hand. All you have is yourself and your creativity. Peace brother!!
Yay! Great job, Amber! Can’t wait to see you play more fromsoft games! Ds3, ds1, and demon souls remake would all be great choices. After playing all fromsoft games I still can’t decide which is my favorite. Each one is unique and magical.
Brilliant series. It's your reactions to what's happening that are most interesting to watch. I think that's why Bloodborne was perfect. Because the story isn't as in your face all the time (relative to other games) you're mostly reacting to gameplay and that's where your personality is allowed to shine best.
You're the best parry shooter I'ven watched so far in all the blind playthroughs. It's definitely a fun to watch new players found the true power of this move and enjoys it and destroys the enemies. If you feel you're op at this state I suggest try NG+, with better understanding of the familiar enemies, to experience a new balance and challenge in a totally freshing way. Also, it will allow you more time to read item descriptions to think about the true story behind the main game and the DLC. It absolutely amazing and heart catching once you understand all, and the Childhood's beginning is the best ending after you understand it. This is a very enjoyable playlist, I love it. Hope you keep on playing for us, thank you.
Loved watching this playthrough so much. What I love about Fromsoft games (but Bloodborne most of all) is how the games feel tailor made not just for "emergent gameplay" but like genuine serendipitous moments, where the gameplay, environmental design/storytelling, and playstyle create moments where the player feels like their are learning, discovering, and progressing naturally, not just being fed down a pipeline of choreographed scenes. I think it's the confidence in their game design philosophy that allows them to be more than happy to let a player miss 50% of the "content" so long the player feels like they are exploring a world that existed well before their character was created, and will continue on after you stop playing. I feel like a tourist passing through Yharnam, and even though I've seen several people on youtube play through the game completely, my first playthrough still feels like MY first playthrough. That's all a tangent just to say your playthrough had that magical serendipity to it, so many great moments & open minded determination. Everyone's first playthrough of Bloodborne is special and their own, but after watching several full playthroughs and experiencing my own, I genuinely think you had the attentiveness & attitude & resilience to have had what felt like one of the most special first playthroughs I think anyone, alone or with an audience, has had.
This is easily one of my favourite playthroughs for someones first experience with a Souls game. It's always delight seeing the game click with somebody and sink its claws into them. Bloodborne is a different beast from Demon's Souls, the Dark Souls trilogy, and Elden Ring, but it shares enough of the same mechanics that it isn't completely separate from the rest; and I'd be excited to see you tackle the others too. Bloodborne is my favourite Souls game, I have over 450 hours in it and I HAD NO IDEA YOU COULD PARRY A WINTER LANTERN!! That was cool. Again, such a fun play through, too many good moments.
I know I'm a couple of years late to this playthrough, but let me just add to all the others who have already said it -- FANTASTIC playthrough, one of the very best I've ever seen. The diligence and attention you gave this game was superb. That's exactly what Fromsoft games require most, even more than skill at the gameplay -- and you developed a HUGE amount of that too! So cool to see you slowly but surely become an absolute Visceral Master over the span of 18 videos. Since this was 2 years ago, you've probably played it plenty since this first time. If not, though, or if any of the following seems like unfamiliar territory still, then the next time you're in Yharnam, investigate: - The wall beside where the elevator with the broken door descends past in Upper Mergo's Loft. - The elevator that appeared on the bottom floor of Mergo's Loft. - Try attacking the blood-covered man you spoke with outside the windmill in Forbidden Woods. Alternately, invite him back to Oedon Chapel and introduce him to the other NPCs. - Wait to go speak with Imposter Iosephka until after the Blood Moon rises (aka after you beat Rom). - Win the fight with Henryk (the hunter in yellow in Gascoigne's graveyard) and don't let Eileen die. Later, find her again in front of the main cathedral (where you fought Vicar Amelia), then proceed inside. - When you get to Old Yharnam, don't go up the tower to kill Djura (the chaingun hunter). Later, when you unlock the shortcut behind Darkbeast Paarl, take that back route into Old Yharnam, and then go up Djura's tower. Edit: LOL!! I wrote this comment as soon as you hit credits. If I'd watched the rest of the video, I would've realized that you addressed the two most important of these right away!
Brilliant walkthrough, Amber! You began the game so cautiously, but got to grips with it pretty quickly, surprisingly even getting passed the pain-in-the-arse Father Gascogne without too much trouble. I commented back then that I stopped playing as I could never defeat him. So it’s been quite a journey seeing you persevere, grow in confidence, develop, and master such a demanding game. I might even give it another shot myself 😊
This was a fantastic playthrough! You played really well and had a lot of great insights to share. I hope you're planning on going through the rest of FROM's games, because I'm here for it!
I have so enjoyed watching you play this game. The highlight for me was playing through in parallel to your play. Felt like I was playing it with a friend like I did games growing up.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this game! I hope your next playthrough, whether on your channel or just in private, is just as much fun as the first time you played it. I love this game so much, and it's so lovely seeing other people love it just as much as I do 🥰
Dear Amberborne, congratulations!! I am so glad I was able to watch your first Souls experience. From Software is my favorite studio and I’ve played every game of theirs from Demon’s Souls onward. With that said, I have to say you did an amazing job for your first time. I really hope you continue to play those titles because I’ll definitely keep watching. Too many people don’t even try and they’re missing out on some of the best games ever made. I hope you’re proud of yourself. ❤️❤️❤️🗣🗣🗣
The greatest game of all time! Glad we all got to experience it with you. I’m always down to watch a first run of this gem. No easy feat. Really pleased to see you enjoyed it!
Thank you for one of the very best Bloodborne play throughs I've ever watched! I felt your experience powerfully for the entire thing, it was joyous. I often wish I could forget Bloodborne just so I could play and experience it again, now I want that but for your playthrough too!
This series has been so awesome to watch! My favourite part was the utter chaos of the Shadow of Yarnham fight. Can't wait to see your playthrough of RDR2 as there are some pretty incredible moments in that game.
This is my favorite game and now this is my favorite playthrough of it! I’m so happy that it had the same profound impact on you as it did for me and so many others. I totally get the feeling, how hard saying goodbye to it is, but every new playthrough still gives the same sense of wonder and awe and I’m happy you’ll be giving it another go in your own time. I hope you have a similar experience with Hollow Knight! The atmosphere, music, gameplay, and the sense of discovery all carry so much of a similar feeling as this and other fromsoft games. I wish you the best and I’m excited to start the next let’s plays! May you find your worth in the waking world.
Epic Finale! The new Bosses, the old Bosses, your summations, your reactions (Brain of Mensis), ALL, Top Notch! Most People get that feeling after completing their first Soulsborne game. Typically, People jump back in, which is EXACTLY what you did! You can't get enough. Take your time on the next Souls game. They are just as epic. I strongly suggest doing them in order (or an abbreviated version, Dark Souls 1 Remastered, Dark Souls 3 then Elden Ring). No matter the time it takes, I will watch these type, of games. Brador was drinking "Lead Elixir" making any attacks "bounce" off. It is a consumable and restricts your movement drastically yet improves defense, a whole lot. Great Catch on Master Willem's chair/office! and finally meeting PATCHES!! "What is friendship but a chance encounter", brilliant! No Matter, You shall meet him MANY more times, in your journeys! Gab Smolders has back up computers for her back up computer. Since she is Full Time, her downloads, to TH-cam, take FAR less time. She is Awesome! However, I sometimes prefer Part Timers more, due to the gaming "burnout" which inevitably happens. Gab somehow makes mostly ALL of her productions with the right amount, of excitement. Enough about that. Point being please take your time, with your vids. Creativity is best enjoyed with the proper amount, of time given! You do this well! Thanks for ALL your work you put in, for this amazing playthrough. You are a super smart individual and I really love your style, with your work. You are kind and sensitive and portray that, in your narration. One can really feel your white aura, through all the screens! Cheers from Angel 53, from across the Pond. Oh and Symbalily is an Awesome name! OK, "We're finished", for now!
This let's play, was clearly one of the best. And I am sure even the developpers themselves would be very happy to see someone like this go through their games. The challenge of games are enjoyable by all, but many people fear it, afraid of how people would react to them struggling, or afraid of thinking to themselves that they just suck too much. But a challenging game is not just hard. It makes you feel like you can do it. That it's not impossible, and that the process of beating it, is, in itself, fun.
Omg this run back to the Laurence fight is downright hilarious. Such good laughs. Edit 1: The worst thing about Bloodborne is having to farm for Blood Vials. I love the music in the Laurence fight it's soooo freaking good! You almost had it on that third attempt, Darn! Edit 2: "Thank you for Lavaling the floor, I appreciate it!" Had me rolling!!! OMG lol, Great job killing Laurence in 4 tries!!
This will be the third comment I've left on one of your Bloodborne videos. Probably my fourth or fifth comment ever on TH-cam, after around a decade or so of using the site. Came here for Bloodborne, it was fun to see a fellow first timer making their way through. Subscribed and stayed for Amber. Your attitude to the games you play, your inquisitiveness and your unique design perspective, it's infectious and makes me want to play this game all over again. I cannot wait to explore the rest of your content. What a fantastic channel and host.
So happy to see others enjoy Bloodborne as much as me its my favorite game. Years later even after platinuming the game I still jump into the chalice dungeons. My soulsborne experience started with Bloodborne, then Dark Souls 3 and Dark Souls Remastered after that and I don't regret any part of it. I'd also recommend the Nioh games too!
Sad it's over -- been enjoying having these streams on in the background while I'm working; but also looking forward to see what you play next. Many thanks for the countless hours of entertainment! Edit: Just saw it's RDR2 - w00t! :)
My compliments to Sgt. Nicholas Angel for ascending the hunt and becoming an infant great one. Loved your whole Bloodborne playthrough. The highlight of the series was watching you become the Parry Queen. I have played and finished all souls games and I have never been able to grasp parry timing as naturally as you did.
I just finished your play through and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed sharing this experience with you. Your mastery of the bosses was the most impressive part of the gameplay. I hope you do play Elden Ring. It’s such a fun game. I’m getting ready to start your Dark Souls play through. Thank you!
Congrats Amber! I immensely enjoyed your playthrough of the game. The way you see Bloodborne's world and its design is so entertaining and insightful, even to those who played the game multiple times before. Your grasp of the lore from just playing the game is admirable too, usually players just end up cruising through the game with no understanding of the lore. About lore, if you want to read what's probably the most detailed Bloodborne lore document, check out "The Paleblood Hunt" by Redgrave (it's a google doc). It covers the entire in-game Bloodborne and the most popular speculations and will likely answer your remaining questions. There's a superb narration of it by Jay Britton on youtube as well, if you wanted to listen to an audiobook-esque version instead. Excited to see you play other FromSoft titles and Hollow knight! Thank you for the awesome playthrough, absolutely loved it!
I've loved every minute of this playthrough and have watched every other video as a result. I love your videos, I'm sure there's more great stuff to come
Bloodborne hadn't clicked with me for years until I started watching your playthrough. Decided to give it another shot and it immediately clicked with me and I love it! Recently completed it too. Anyway, I really enjoyed this series, personal favourite fights of yours were Vicar Amelia, Lady Maria and Orphan of Kos (He gave me so much trouble). Currently watching your Dark Souls playthrough, going super well!
Just wanted to say it’s been a pleasure watching you play through your first FromSoft game. Know it’s may be daunting, but I for one will be eagerly awaiting your Elden Ring play through!
Congratulations on beating BB for the first time. It was fun following you on your journey through it. Hope you continue on and have fun playing NG+'s on your own time - and Dungeons as well (although they're a bit less fun, but some bosses are awesome). If you wanna look more into lore, there's a whole bunch of sources, but I reckon a good place to start is The Paleblood Hunt by Redgrave. Just bear in mind that it's all in good fun. If you have your own theories and head canon, don't let anyone tell you that you're wrong. It's mostly theories and head canon on everyone's part.
Loved this series, and am super excited to see a Holliw Knight play through. Such a beautiful game. My son and I enjoyed sharing secrets that we discovered and boss strategies.
I absolutely love when people get emotional over these games wether thats after beating a boss, making it through a hard area, or beating the game, because these games show us that we can face adversity and come out on top. I subbed because of you're first BB video and you should absolutely be proud of yourself for completing a Fromsoft game, especially BB. You're amazing and may the good blood guide you're way. 💗💗💗
"Why do I feel like that was the bad ending" That's the fun part, there is no good endings in Soulsborne games. It's all different levels of morally questionable choices. Even the closest to "good" endings definitely aren't good for everyone.
At the beginning of the game you're told to "transcend the hunt" and I feel like this is the ending where you do that most fully. Is it good though? Who knows.
I’m so glad TH-cam recced this series to me! - I’ve watched a bunch of Bloodborne let’s plays, notably the ones by the Game Grumps and Jack Septic Eye because I love the story but epically suck at the game itself 😂 - honestly, your playthru is my favorite so far! Not only are you preternaturally good at this game, but you also just seem like a genuinely nice and cool person that I can’t help but root for! I will definitely be watching more from your channel! Your playthrus of Dark Souls, Subnautica, and Hollow Knight are already in my cue 👍
Awesome job! Glad you didnt let the toxic ones get you down. Theres still the chalice dungeons if you want to keep it going a bit but those are optional. Dont stop here keep going down the rabbit hole with Dark Souls, Sekiro, and Elden ring :D If you want to get everything give New Game+ a go too on your own some time, its honestly where the difficulty gets picked up lol. Glad you had a blast hope to see more!
Enjoyed this way more then other playthroughs by other players, thank you. As a conceptartist I enjoyed watching you appreciate the work of the art / assets etc. Actually I wouldnt have minded a playthrough where you'd go into technical detail, share what you know, what you want to learn from the game and such, I think your job background is a seldom quality among streamers. Needles to say you give off a very comfy, humble vibe on top and it was fun to watch you go from stumbling to counterqueen. Hope to see more art on you A.station soon ;)
Haven’t watched the full episode yet, but awensome choice of attacks during the couple last rounds against laurence! Saw a few clever choices and it was really fun to watch! I think the Rakuyo fits you nicely 👍! Also, 🔥 Laurence traumatized me on NG +9 so it made you victory look even better!
Really enjoyed this whole playthrough! You´ve pointed out details in enviroment that I personally never noticed during any of my playthroughs. Thank you! Hopefully we´ll get to see more of your first time experiences with FromSoft games. And never let anyone tell You (anyone reading this) that these games are "too hard for you". No "gamer" skill is required, just time and a little dedication to do it, learn from your mistakes and try again.
My favorite part of the series was the fact that I stumbled upon your play through as I coincidentally had just started my very first play through myself. It was really fun going through an area or defeating a boss and then coming to watch you experience it. Obviously not everything happened in the same order for me and I most certainly wasn’t as good as you 😂 but it was really cool to play this game and have this experience and I can’t believe I beat my first fromsoft game!
Thanks for the excellent series, hope you will pick up another FromSoft game in the future those blind playthroughs are always worth watching, more than most other single player titles.
i tried bloodborne years ago after beating all the souls games but i just couldnt get on with it. Due to your vids i chose to start it up again in jan and im thankful i did as i loved it :) so thanks for bringing me back to an amazing game that otherwise i would of discarded, this playthrough has been a great watch
Congratulations on beating bloodborne! It also ranks as one of my favorite games ever, the mood it sets, the actual gameplay itself, the really fun Lovecraftian story in it, all really really great. I’m really looking forward to whenever they do the remaster/remake, not just because higher frame rate etc… which of course will be nice, but because it’ll give me another excuse to revisit such an amazing world. My standout for your playthrough was just how much you really got immersed into the game, your attention to the worlds details and truly wondrous attitude in each area made every episode a genuine joy to watch! It’s been so great watching you dive into each area and truly improve in your play style! You became really good at parying, which not a ton of people are, so well done there! I think you’ll like other fromsoft games, but they are generally much more slow paced in combat. But the basics of the games are very similar. Plus level design concepts are as well. Really excited for you RDR2 playthrough, it’s another incredibly big game, but it’s really well done. Fantastic story and great characters abound. Plus a hollow knight playthrough will be great as well! It’s a shorter game (comparatively) so I think it will do well alongside a big long one like red dead. Anyway thanks for all the really great content! Always a true joy to see a new video show up! Keep on being awesome!
I completely agree with the Zelda comparison. I have replayed this game so many times for the same reason I replay Zelda. The world is so fun to replay, and the bosses and locations are fun. Also so many different builds to do. Good luck on future playthroughs!
I also Just finished my First Fromsoftware Game which was sekiro and absolutely Loved it. So If you ever decide to tackle that, I'll be there for the ride. Comgrats and good Work!
My favourite thing about the from soft games is how amazingly interconnected their worlds are. Pretty cool to see an environment artist freaking out over the same. I did tools and core tech during my time in games.
Well done, Skeleton! Amazing first playthrough! You keep talking down about your skills but you're much better than most people btw! Now for the rest of the FromSoft catalogue!
Your comment about finishing the game as a beast . . . i just realized that would actually be very fitting, since when you fight Gascoigne, he says there are beasts all over the shop, and that you'd become one of them. Other NPCs say similar things as well throughout the game.
So I didn't want to watch this video because I didn't want it to end. Bloodborne is my favourite game to play and you did amazingly and it was do great to watch someone's first playthrough of this and having you discover everything about. I loved the theory that Brador killed Laurence, it's quite intriguing. But I am proud of you for getting through the game as you did and that you loved it as much as the community does :)
It was great to see you play Bloodborne. Your playthrough was way better than my first playthrough when this game came out. I even made a new character to play along.
I usually only watch a clip of a certain boss to see reactions but this is the first time I ever watched a whole playthrough from beginning to end, you've got fun energy like hangingout with a friend on a weekend night, looking forward to your sekiro laythrough if you ever will.❤
Heyhey! Superlate to the party, but the TH-cam algorithm has blessed me with a video from this playthrough and after watching a little bit I then proceeded to binge it all in a few sittings cause I loved it 😊 It was wonderful to see you experience the game for the first time and whilst I don't have a particular favourite moment off the top of my head, in general I really appreciate the way you immersed into it and took everything in like the environments, item descriptions, connected the dots with lore... You've connected bits of lore in one go around that took me several playthroughs and watching some other playthroughs, so I'm really amazed how full this first experience was in that respect! And it was very enjoyable to see how the combat clicked with your playstyle and you really flew through some fights after getting the mechanics down. I'm so sorry that some people were very petty about how you played the game and that it affected you at times, but I'm very happy that overall it didn't sour your first experience with this game. Anyways, seeing as I'm more than a year late to this playthrough, there's a good chance you won't see it. However, on the off chance this does reach you, I just wanted to let you know that I very much enjoyed watching you experience Bloodborne for the first time. Now I'll hop onto more recent stuff and watch you kick ass in Dark Souls! 😄
Thanks for this whole play-through, Amber. It makes me so happy to see people still struck with excitement and wonder when playing this, just like I was when I first played it. Oh, what I wouldn't give to play this game for the first time again...
Hey, just wanted to let you know I binged the hell out of this series after playing the game for the first time myself. This was absolutely delightful. You're charming and a natural at the game. Sucks to see that you had to deal with a bunch of negative assholes, but I wanted to let you know you are really appreciated. I can't wait to watch your Dark Souls LP now
Rolling credits on your first From Soulsborne game is such a special feeling, we all go in worried that it'll be too much, that we're not up to the challenge but once you get through the first few hurdles and your mindset adjusts to what the game wants from you it becomes enjoyable and fascinating and then when the credits roll there is a release and then... The Hunger for more sets in. I'd definitely recommend Sekiro, I think it'd suit the skillset you built up in BB better than Elden Ring.
1:29:15 She probably doesn’t remember being killed since the altar said “time _reverses_ for this scrap of flesh,” which implies she just reverted to her previous state which never was killed. 1:45:20 Honestly, you rocked it in playing it! You probably played better than most first time players! For me, I probably died 10-20 TIMES more than you! You did crazy good!
What a nice adventure. I really enjoy your playthrough, you have very good skills and I would love to see you in another fromsoftware game. Congrats for finish bloodborne! Much love

I cant even put into words how much I loved this game and how grateful I am for the community that formed from this playthrough. Thank you.
See you all with RDR2 soon 🧡 Amber
I dont usually watch playthroughs but i really enjoyed your content. Youre doing great work.
RDR2 is a masterpiece! Can't wait for you to experience it for the first time
I gotta say, I feel like I've watched every blind playthrough of every From game, and only a few are really worth the time. Yours is one of them. Great streamer, great content. Keep it up! And I really hope I eventually see you playing Dark Souls!
Congrats Amber!! I can't wait to be able to watch this episode. But more importantly I should remind you of that lore podcast I told you about, "The Paleblood Hunt"! I have ADHD like you so I trust that my reminder was needed lmao
RDR2 gonna have you crying all the time lol
I've seen dozens of Soulsborne blind playthroughs, and this has been my favorite. Fantastic humor, gameplay, and pacing of the videos. I'm glad TH-cam recommended this channel to me. I can't wait to watch you get through the rest of the Fromsoft titles.
Ahhh that's so cool to hear 😊 Thank you!
What les said!
I just love how the moon presence parallels the first wolf enemy in the game. It pretty neat.
@@SymbaLily same here on what he said I just got your channel recommended and I am glad it did
I watched all your Bloodborne playthrough and don't mind about the comments of the bad people. You're absolutely loveling cute ❤️
Of all the possible finishes, getting off a massive visceral against Moon Presence was just perfect for you. Very well done!
I'm more than a year late, but I just finished watching your entire playthrough, and I have to say this has been the most fun I've had watching anyone play Bloodborne! Your insight (no pun intended) really brought a lot to the experience for me, and I can't wait to watch more of your series now.
Thank you!!
It’s absolutely unbelievable how much your skills developed over this series! Your insightful approach to literally everything is so amazing, so many things that flew over my head you caught on your first play through, and if you ever decide to play another souls game I will be excited to watch every minute!
A hunter is a hunter even after they have finished the game. Congratz!
Now Elden Ring?
Should play souls before, after elden ring, everything feels so small
2:24:55 Hi Amber! The man-spider you met in the Research Hall is Patches, a long-standing FromSoftware tradition of sorts. A version of him is in nearly every game they make, including Dark Souls and Elden Ring.
He's not a man-spider in the other games though. But in all versions, he messes with the player in various ways, often putting them in danger. However, he also tries to make himself seem like a helpful ally (after begging for mercy). He usually is helpful, to a point.
In Bloodborne, he's the one that asked Amygdala to 'have mercy on the poor bastard', which landed you in the Nightmare Frontier the first time. You also spoke to him through the door you found him at here, but from the other side.
It's not essential, but there is an encounter with him you missed in the Nightmare Frontier. You saw him dangling in the distance, but didn't walk around the area that triggers it. I wouldn't want to spoil the details for your NG+ playthrough, so you can find him later.
On a related note, I recently murdered Patches on Eldin Ring, before I realized who he was. I didn't find him until mid-late game and his first encounter is a boss fight (with him). I cut him down in like 3-5 hits, and sadly didn't realize he was calling for a truce by the time they all landed. I missed his dialogue and questline entirely.
RIP Patches (you lovable bastard).
2:26:00 that was Patches, a recurring character through all the Soulsborne games that FromSoft has made, ever since Demon's Souls. He very famously leads the player to places with "Treasure" where he'll leave them to die.
I know I’m late to comment on this series. But I’ve only recently discovered it and every video of this series that I’ve sat down to watch, my cat has shown up to snuggle in my lap. I guess he’s a fan too. We’ve both enjoyed this blind series and this is one of my favorite games. Keep doing your best with the channel as I’m looking forward to watching your other playthroughs! ❤
I am SO impressed by your showing. Fromsoft games are not for the weak of heart, but when you get going it's addictive and it's hard to resist that challenge once you've broken through that barrier. You were a natural, and I loved seeing you absolutely kick ass. Girl you made it look easy, especially for a first time player.
Now play Elden Ring!! XD I would LOVE to see you run through that one too.
Noooo, I’m not ready for this to be over 😭
Thank you for this fantastic playthrough of Bloodborne, it has been such a joy to watch you experience all this for the first time.
Highlight of the series was watching your combat skills grow. The confidence you gained in fighting when you got used to everything, when everything clicked, when you found your sort of weapon? Freaking awesome. I cannot believe how quickly you melted some bosses, girl, it was amazing stuff!
But also the time that Shaun had a mind of his own and chucked that pebble at the locked door in perfect comedic timing lolol
See you for RDR2, I can’t wait!
Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you so much for playing this game, and recording your first experience with it. And congrats on completing your first From Software game, it's always a good achievement! Last year it took the spot of my favourite game of all time (previous was Jet Set Radio Future, another great game, great unique art style, fun mechanics, highly recommend if you can get an OG Xbox but unfortunately the game can be expensive second-hand), and I absolutely love watching people fall in love with this game like I did. Favourite part of the series was you fighting Ludwig, he's my favourite game boss of all time, especially the music. You had such a fun/funny reaction especially to phase 2 haha!
I think you said in this video it might not happen, but I definitely recommend Elden Ring, and other games in the souls series from From Software. They're similar to Bloodborne, but the earlier entries are much slower, and you can definitely feel their age. That said, they're still worth checking out, even if just to see the other great games from the same company.
Happy to see you've heard of and seen Vaati's videos, he does great stuff. If you do check out other From Software games at some point I definitely think he's one of the best places to find lore videos and just interesting stuff about the games in general. If you're interested in more mechanical stuff instead of lore stuff, then check out Zullie the Witch, who picks out small abscure parts of the game via datamining, seeing how the game is put together etc., based on stuff you've said in this series I think you might find Zullie's stuff pretty interesting.
And finally (sorry for the long comment btw lol), can't wait for the RDR2 playthrough! It's yet another incredible game with a beautifully written story (especially the characters!) and an absolutely stunning, dense world you can get lost in for hours.
I know I’m a year late but I’ve also played through bloodborne for the first time this year and I’ve REALLY loved watching your playthrough. I think you’re really sweet and intelligent. You’ve picked up on so many leads that I missed and finished so many bosses so so much faster than I ever could. Hope you’re doing well and sending my love
"Not the best player in the world" Better than me, for sure. You did pretty damn great from start to finish. Hope these videos keep going. Favorite part, or at least a moment I really enjoyed to watch was the kidnapping part.
favorite part: you realizing this game is something you’d love and interested in. So many laughs and shared tearful moments, it’s a wonderful game. But top moment is you trying and seeing how your preferences evolve and how the core favorite style(s) reach out further than LoZ.
You’re a joy to watch, it is funny to see your unique playstyle bulldoze through challenges that seasoned fromsoft players spend hours on. Keep being you, keep having fun, may the good blood guide your way.
Congratulations Amber! Finishing your first Fromsoft game is always a special experience. Welcome to the club! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your let's play. Hopefully, this won't be the last Fromsoftware title on your channel.
My favorite blind run of Bloodborne hands down, loved everything you did and loved your reactions! Amazing work and everything on this series.
Amber you absolute blood drunk hunter legend!
This was the best Bloodborne playthrough i've seen!
You will soon see that Bloodborne has made you a better player and other games will seem easy to you (except Sekiro because it has much different mechanics than other From games).
Can't wait to see you play Rdr2 👍.
Every time I tune in to this series I’m astounded. I’ve played through this game probably 5 or 6 times and beaten every boss and Amber still managed to find things I’ve never seen and figured out stuff that took me dozens of hours to get. Especially with certain bosses like Laurence and the Orphan I remember being like “god I wish I had played this the way she did because she figured it out so quick.” Truly an amazing series and one of the few that made me want to stick with a channel
Congrats, Amber! I think my highlight was just seeing you be so open about the whole journey. That, and you loving oft-hated areas to bits. It's so refreshing to see someone smile and laugh in places that some people curse themselves through.
I was so stressed while playing this game at first and now it's become my comfort game. I haven't even finished Elden Ring yet and I keep coming back to Bloodborne to try out different weapons and builds.
If you're enjoying the dungeons, remember that there are a few especially challenging (and fun!) bosses you haven't seen yet.
Sad that this is over. Bloodborne was a masterpiece and you made it even more enjoyable with your cheerful character.
A note about Elden Ring is that it takes most of his gameplay from Dark souls trilogy with an upgrade to everything. Also, it is a very very long game, so if you want a short one for your next Fromsoft game, you should play Dark souls like you said (or Sekiro!).
Hi Amber,
I love watching game streams, but can barely tolerate most streamers. You’re one of the few streamers who feel authentic and you have such a positive aura.
Keep up the good work!
After like the first two videos I was inspired to give this game a shot. I ended up pausing my watch of your play through to finish my own. Like you, I didn't think this game was for me. But watching you play helped me see I could enjoy it. Thank you!
I know this was uploaded awhile ago but I just want to say THANK YOU so much for reading the trophy description for the ending , it really helps give you context as to what you just became and what is gonna happen . You have no idea how many countless people just skipped the trophy description and were just left completely clueless about their ending . But enough rambling I LOVED your playthrough and I love your personality . Subscribed 😊
You did incredible, its been great to be along with you on this journey. Now the Elden Ring calls you...
Congratulations Amber! I’m so glad that you loved this game as much as I did! This has been one of my favorite play throughs of any game! 🧡 thank you for all your hard work!
Awesome! Well done, this video series is excellent! You SLAUGHTERED Gehrman, took me like 50 tries LOL. I've seen your DS1 play through, can't wait to see whatever FromSoft game is next for you and this channel.
Honestly this was an amazing journey. First playthrough of ANYTHING that I've followed so closely and enjoyed so much. If I had to pick my favorite moment it was probably when you started noticing all the cosmic horror elements of the game, especially with Iosefka's clinic and the supposed "alien invasion" x). I'll definitely start watching some of your other series now!
"It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be."
The real difficulty in FromSoft games is more one of mindset than of skill. Not everyone is willing to try repeatedly, to see failure as progress, to view lost xp as no real setback. And that's okay. Games intended to appeal to everyone tend to be too bland for anyone to really enjoy.
So, yeaf, Bloodborne isn't for everyone. But I suspect some of those who avoid it due to its reputation would enjoy it if they gave it a chance.
No, the real difficulty of most from games is perception, patience and mostly for bosses pattern reading.
The reason why any from game is easier if you played at least one is because you start to take it easy and be careful, I'm guessing for her, being a game dev she was playing the way the game wanted her to play from the start.
@@nekkofrost1419 I don't disagree. But I believe that most players have the capacity for that patience and perception. But, whether due to conditioning by other games or simply being unwilling or uninterested in a more thoughtful gameplay, they don't approach FromSoft games with the necessary mindset :)
@@jonathancapps1103 I totally agree!
If my bro didn't put me in this mindset i wouldn't have enjoyed any from games or possibly nioh and monster hunter.
It's more about having appropriately leveled gear and learning movesets than anything else. As long as you have those 2, you'll get through.
@@jonathancapps1103 i agree with all you said. I feel elden ring is proving it even more. A lot of people decided to pick the game up because its open world, however, those who have never played a fromsoftware game are split. Some love it while others feel its confusing more than hard. But i do believe that people like you and me enjoy not fully understanding everything but enjoying the game and its depth and that feeling that no one is holding your hand. All you have is yourself and your creativity. Peace brother!!
Yay! Great job, Amber! Can’t wait to see you play more fromsoft games! Ds3, ds1, and demon souls remake would all be great choices. After playing all fromsoft games I still can’t decide which is my favorite. Each one is unique and magical.
Brilliant series. It's your reactions to what's happening that are most interesting to watch. I think that's why Bloodborne was perfect. Because the story isn't as in your face all the time (relative to other games) you're mostly reacting to gameplay and that's where your personality is allowed to shine best.
You're the best parry shooter I'ven watched so far in all the blind playthroughs. It's definitely a fun to watch new players found the true power of this move and enjoys it and destroys the enemies. If you feel you're op at this state I suggest try NG+, with better understanding of the familiar enemies, to experience a new balance and challenge in a totally freshing way. Also, it will allow you more time to read item descriptions to think about the true story behind the main game and the DLC. It absolutely amazing and heart catching once you understand all, and the Childhood's beginning is the best ending after you understand it. This is a very enjoyable playlist, I love it. Hope you keep on playing for us, thank you.
Congratulations on beating the game! It has been an absolute delight to watch you play this! You’re amazing!
I've loved watching and playing alongside this series, congrats on beating the game 🥳🐌
Loved watching this playthrough so much.
What I love about Fromsoft games (but Bloodborne most of all) is how the games feel tailor made not just for "emergent gameplay" but like genuine serendipitous moments, where the gameplay, environmental design/storytelling, and playstyle create moments where the player feels like their are learning, discovering, and progressing naturally, not just being fed down a pipeline of choreographed scenes. I think it's the confidence in their game design philosophy that allows them to be more than happy to let a player miss 50% of the "content" so long the player feels like they are exploring a world that existed well before their character was created, and will continue on after you stop playing. I feel like a tourist passing through Yharnam, and even though I've seen several people on youtube play through the game completely, my first playthrough still feels like MY first playthrough.
That's all a tangent just to say your playthrough had that magical serendipity to it, so many great moments & open minded determination. Everyone's first playthrough of Bloodborne is special and their own, but after watching several full playthroughs and experiencing my own, I genuinely think you had the attentiveness & attitude & resilience to have had what felt like one of the most special first playthroughs I think anyone, alone or with an audience, has had.
This is easily one of my favourite playthroughs for someones first experience with a Souls game. It's always delight seeing the game click with somebody and sink its claws into them.
Bloodborne is a different beast from Demon's Souls, the Dark Souls trilogy, and Elden Ring, but it shares enough of the same mechanics that it isn't completely separate from the rest; and I'd be excited to see you tackle the others too. Bloodborne is my favourite Souls game, I have over 450 hours in it and I HAD NO IDEA YOU COULD PARRY A WINTER LANTERN!! That was cool.
Again, such a fun play through, too many good moments.
I know I'm a couple of years late to this playthrough, but let me just add to all the others who have already said it -- FANTASTIC playthrough, one of the very best I've ever seen. The diligence and attention you gave this game was superb. That's exactly what Fromsoft games require most, even more than skill at the gameplay -- and you developed a HUGE amount of that too! So cool to see you slowly but surely become an absolute Visceral Master over the span of 18 videos.
Since this was 2 years ago, you've probably played it plenty since this first time. If not, though, or if any of the following seems like unfamiliar territory still, then the next time you're in Yharnam, investigate:
- The wall beside where the elevator with the broken door descends past in Upper Mergo's Loft.
- The elevator that appeared on the bottom floor of Mergo's Loft.
- Try attacking the blood-covered man you spoke with outside the windmill in Forbidden Woods. Alternately, invite him back to Oedon Chapel and introduce him to the other NPCs.
- Wait to go speak with Imposter Iosephka until after the Blood Moon rises (aka after you beat Rom).
- Win the fight with Henryk (the hunter in yellow in Gascoigne's graveyard) and don't let Eileen die. Later, find her again in front of the main cathedral (where you fought Vicar Amelia), then proceed inside.
- When you get to Old Yharnam, don't go up the tower to kill Djura (the chaingun hunter). Later, when you unlock the shortcut behind Darkbeast Paarl, take that back route into Old Yharnam, and then go up Djura's tower.
Edit: LOL!! I wrote this comment as soon as you hit credits. If I'd watched the rest of the video, I would've realized that you addressed the two most important of these right away!
Brilliant walkthrough, Amber! You began the game so cautiously, but got to grips with it pretty quickly, surprisingly even getting passed the pain-in-the-arse Father Gascogne without too much trouble. I commented back then that I stopped playing as I could never defeat him. So it’s been quite a journey seeing you persevere, grow in confidence, develop, and master such a demanding game. I might even give it another shot myself 😊
Great play play through! Way to persevere
This was a fantastic playthrough! You played really well and had a lot of great insights to share.
I hope you're planning on going through the rest of FROM's games, because I'm here for it!
I have so enjoyed watching you play this game. The highlight for me was playing through in parallel to your play. Felt like I was playing it with a friend like I did games growing up.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this game! I hope your next playthrough, whether on your channel or just in private, is just as much fun as the first time you played it. I love this game so much, and it's so lovely seeing other people love it just as much as I do 🥰
Dear Amberborne, congratulations!! I am so glad I was able to watch your first Souls experience. From Software is my favorite studio and I’ve played every game of theirs from Demon’s Souls onward. With that said, I have to say you did an amazing job for your first time. I really hope you continue to play those titles because I’ll definitely keep watching. Too many people don’t even try and they’re missing out on some of the best games ever made. I hope you’re proud of yourself. ❤️❤️❤️🗣🗣🗣
The greatest game of all time!
Glad we all got to experience it with you. I’m always down to watch a first run of this gem.
No easy feat. Really pleased to see you enjoyed it!
This by far has been my favorite playthrough of Bloodborne to watch. You're amazing Amber! Can't wait for even more games from you.
Thank you for one of the very best Bloodborne play throughs I've ever watched! I felt your experience powerfully for the entire thing, it was joyous. I often wish I could forget Bloodborne just so I could play and experience it again, now I want that but for your playthrough too!
This series has been so awesome to watch! My favourite part was the utter chaos of the Shadow of Yarnham fight. Can't wait to see your playthrough of RDR2 as there are some pretty incredible moments in that game.
This is my favorite game and now this is my favorite playthrough of it! I’m so happy that it had the same profound impact on you as it did for me and so many others. I totally get the feeling, how hard saying goodbye to it is, but every new playthrough still gives the same sense of wonder and awe and I’m happy you’ll be giving it another go in your own time.
I hope you have a similar experience with Hollow Knight! The atmosphere, music, gameplay, and the sense of discovery all carry so much of a similar feeling as this and other fromsoft games.
I wish you the best and I’m excited to start the next let’s plays! May you find your worth in the waking world.
Epic Finale! The new Bosses, the old Bosses, your summations, your reactions (Brain of Mensis), ALL, Top Notch! Most People get that feeling after completing their first Soulsborne game. Typically, People jump back in, which is EXACTLY what you did! You can't get enough. Take your time on the next Souls game. They are just as epic. I strongly suggest doing them in order (or an abbreviated version, Dark Souls 1 Remastered, Dark Souls 3 then Elden Ring). No matter the time it takes, I will watch these type, of games. Brador was drinking "Lead Elixir" making any attacks "bounce" off. It is a consumable and restricts your movement drastically yet improves defense, a whole lot. Great Catch on Master Willem's chair/office! and finally meeting PATCHES!! "What is friendship but a chance encounter", brilliant! No Matter, You shall meet him MANY more times, in your journeys! Gab Smolders has back up computers for her back up computer. Since she is Full Time, her downloads, to TH-cam, take FAR less time. She is Awesome! However, I sometimes prefer Part Timers more, due to the gaming "burnout" which inevitably happens. Gab somehow makes mostly ALL of her productions with the right amount, of excitement. Enough about that. Point being please take your time, with your vids. Creativity is best enjoyed with the proper amount, of time given! You do this well! Thanks for ALL your work you put in, for this amazing playthrough. You are a super smart individual and I really love your style, with your work. You are kind and sensitive and portray that, in your narration. One can really feel your white aura, through all the screens! Cheers from Angel 53, from across the Pond. Oh and Symbalily is an Awesome name! OK, "We're finished", for now!
This let's play, was clearly one of the best. And I am sure even the developpers themselves would be very happy to see someone like this go through their games.
The challenge of games are enjoyable by all, but many people fear it, afraid of how people would react to them struggling, or afraid of thinking to themselves that they just suck too much. But a challenging game is not just hard. It makes you feel like you can do it. That it's not impossible, and that the process of beating it, is, in itself, fun.
Omg this run back to the Laurence fight is downright hilarious. Such good laughs. Edit 1: The worst thing about Bloodborne is having to farm for Blood Vials. I love the music in the Laurence fight it's soooo freaking good! You almost had it on that third attempt, Darn! Edit 2: "Thank you for Lavaling the floor, I appreciate it!" Had me rolling!!! OMG lol, Great job killing Laurence in 4 tries!!
This will be the third comment I've left on one of your Bloodborne videos. Probably my fourth or fifth comment ever on TH-cam, after around a decade or so of using the site.
Came here for Bloodborne, it was fun to see a fellow first timer making their way through. Subscribed and stayed for Amber. Your attitude to the games you play, your inquisitiveness and your unique design perspective, it's infectious and makes me want to play this game all over again. I cannot wait to explore the rest of your content. What a fantastic channel and host.
So happy to see others enjoy Bloodborne as much as me its my favorite game. Years later even after platinuming the game I still jump into the chalice dungeons. My soulsborne experience started with Bloodborne, then Dark Souls 3 and Dark Souls Remastered after that and I don't regret any part of it. I'd also recommend the Nioh games too!
Sad it's over -- been enjoying having these streams on in the background while I'm working; but also looking forward to see what you play next. Many thanks for the countless hours of entertainment!
Edit: Just saw it's RDR2 - w00t! :)
Absolute parry queen. Glad you enjoyed BB and I hope you'll play through the rest of FromSoft games as well. They are very enjoyable to watch
My compliments to Sgt. Nicholas Angel for ascending the hunt and becoming an infant great one.
Loved your whole Bloodborne playthrough. The highlight of the series was watching you become the Parry Queen. I have played and finished all souls games and I have never been able to grasp parry timing as naturally as you did.
Congratulations Amber! You're a full fledged Bloodborne veteran & true badass now! It's on to Elden Ring & the lands between now! You'll luv it!!
Just finished my binge of this series, and it's been a joy to watch you progress and grow to love the game.
I just finished your play through and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed sharing this experience with you. Your mastery of the bosses was the most impressive part of the gameplay. I hope you do play Elden Ring. It’s such a fun game. I’m getting ready to start your Dark Souls play through. Thank you!
Congrats Amber! I immensely enjoyed your playthrough of the game. The way you see Bloodborne's world and its design is so entertaining and insightful, even to those who played the game multiple times before. Your grasp of the lore from just playing the game is admirable too, usually players just end up cruising through the game with no understanding of the lore. About lore, if you want to read what's probably the most detailed Bloodborne lore document, check out "The Paleblood Hunt" by Redgrave (it's a google doc). It covers the entire in-game Bloodborne and the most popular speculations and will likely answer your remaining questions. There's a superb narration of it by Jay Britton on youtube as well, if you wanted to listen to an audiobook-esque version instead.
Excited to see you play other FromSoft titles and Hollow knight! Thank you for the awesome playthrough, absolutely loved it!
I've loved every minute of this playthrough and have watched every other video as a result. I love your videos, I'm sure there's more great stuff to come
Bloodborne hadn't clicked with me for years until I started watching your playthrough. Decided to give it another shot and it immediately clicked with me and I love it! Recently completed it too. Anyway, I really enjoyed this series, personal favourite fights of yours were Vicar Amelia, Lady Maria and Orphan of Kos (He gave me so much trouble). Currently watching your Dark Souls playthrough, going super well!
Just wanted to say it’s been a pleasure watching you play through your first FromSoft game.
Know it’s may be daunting, but I for one will be eagerly awaiting your Elden Ring play through!
Congratulations on beating BB for the first time. It was fun following you on your journey through it. Hope you continue on and have fun playing NG+'s on your own time - and Dungeons as well (although they're a bit less fun, but some bosses are awesome). If you wanna look more into lore, there's a whole bunch of sources, but I reckon a good place to start is The Paleblood Hunt by Redgrave. Just bear in mind that it's all in good fun. If you have your own theories and head canon, don't let anyone tell you that you're wrong. It's mostly theories and head canon on everyone's part.
Excited to watch this. Hope to see you play the rest of the series soon enough. One of my favourite playthroughs to have watched of the game.
Loved this series, and am super excited to see a Holliw Knight play through. Such a beautiful game. My son and I enjoyed sharing secrets that we discovered and boss strategies.
I absolutely love when people get emotional over these games wether thats after beating a boss, making it through a hard area, or beating the game, because these games show us that we can face adversity and come out on top. I subbed because of you're first BB video and you should absolutely be proud of yourself for completing a Fromsoft game, especially BB. You're amazing and may the good blood guide you're way. 💗💗💗
"Why do I feel like that was the bad ending" That's the fun part, there is no good endings in Soulsborne games. It's all different levels of morally questionable choices. Even the closest to "good" endings definitely aren't good for everyone.
Such is life
At the beginning of the game you're told to "transcend the hunt" and I feel like this is the ending where you do that most fully. Is it good though? Who knows.
Age of the stars is the closest thing to a good ending
I can’t believe it’s over! It was amazing and you were brilliant. Don’t leave us high and dry though…more Fromsoft games in the future maybe? : D
I’m so glad TH-cam recced this series to me! -
I’ve watched a bunch of Bloodborne let’s plays, notably the ones by the Game Grumps and Jack Septic Eye because I love the story but epically suck at the game itself 😂 - honestly, your playthru is my favorite so far! Not only are you preternaturally good at this game, but you also just seem like a genuinely nice and cool person that I can’t help but root for!
I will definitely be watching more from your channel! Your playthrus of Dark Souls, Subnautica, and Hollow Knight are already in my cue 👍
Awesome job! Glad you didnt let the toxic ones get you down. Theres still the chalice dungeons if you want to keep it going a bit but those are optional. Dont stop here keep going down the rabbit hole with Dark Souls, Sekiro, and Elden ring :D If you want to get everything give New Game+ a go too on your own some time, its honestly where the difficulty gets picked up lol. Glad you had a blast hope to see more!
Enjoyed this way more then other playthroughs by other players, thank you. As a conceptartist I enjoyed watching you appreciate the work of the art / assets etc. Actually I wouldnt have minded a playthrough where you'd go into technical detail, share what you know, what you want to learn from the game and such, I think your job background is a seldom quality among streamers. Needles to say you give off a very comfy, humble vibe on top and it was fun to watch you go from stumbling to counterqueen. Hope to see more art on you A.station soon ;)
Haven’t watched the full episode yet, but awensome choice of attacks during the couple last rounds against laurence! Saw a few clever choices and it was really fun to watch! I think the Rakuyo fits you nicely 👍! Also, 🔥 Laurence traumatized me on NG +9 so it made you victory look even better!
Really enjoyed this whole playthrough! You´ve pointed out details in enviroment that I personally never noticed during any of my playthroughs. Thank you!
Hopefully we´ll get to see more of your first time experiences with FromSoft games.
And never let anyone tell You (anyone reading this) that these games are "too hard for you". No "gamer" skill is required, just time and a little dedication to do it, learn from your mistakes and try again.
My favorite part of the series was the fact that I stumbled upon your play through as I coincidentally had just started my very first play through myself. It was really fun going through an area or defeating a boss and then coming to watch you experience it. Obviously not everything happened in the same order for me and I most certainly wasn’t as good as you 😂 but it was really cool to play this game and have this experience and I can’t believe I beat my first fromsoft game!
That was an impressive playthrough, and a rather entertaining one! Thank you for sharing this, and congratulations on completing the game! ^_^
Thanks for the excellent series, hope you will pick up another FromSoft game in the future those blind playthroughs are always worth watching, more than most other single player titles.
Time to jump into the VaatiVidya lore videos now to answer all your questions, congrats! What a fantastic watch all the way through 😁
You did an excellent job of adapting to Laurence! You really got very good at the game by the end. Great series :)
i tried bloodborne years ago after beating all the souls games but i just couldnt get on with it. Due to your vids i chose to start it up again in jan and im thankful i did as i loved it :) so thanks for bringing me back to an amazing game that otherwise i would of discarded, this playthrough has been a great watch
Congratulations on beating bloodborne! It also ranks as one of my favorite games ever, the mood it sets, the actual gameplay itself, the really fun Lovecraftian story in it, all really really great. I’m really looking forward to whenever they do the remaster/remake, not just because higher frame rate etc… which of course will be nice, but because it’ll give me another excuse to revisit such an amazing world.
My standout for your playthrough was just how much you really got immersed into the game, your attention to the worlds details and truly wondrous attitude in each area made every episode a genuine joy to watch!
It’s been so great watching you dive into each area and truly improve in your play style! You became really good at parying, which not a ton of people are, so well done there!
I think you’ll like other fromsoft games, but they are generally much more slow paced in combat. But the basics of the games are very similar. Plus level design concepts are as well.
Really excited for you RDR2 playthrough, it’s another incredibly big game, but it’s really well done. Fantastic story and great characters abound. Plus a hollow knight playthrough will be great as well! It’s a shorter game (comparatively) so I think it will do well alongside a big long one like red dead.
Anyway thanks for all the really great content! Always a true joy to see a new video show up! Keep on being awesome!
I completely agree with the Zelda comparison. I have replayed this game so many times for the same reason I replay Zelda. The world is so fun to replay, and the bosses and locations are fun. Also so many different builds to do. Good luck on future playthroughs!
I also Just finished my First Fromsoftware Game which was sekiro and absolutely Loved it. So If you ever decide to tackle that, I'll be there for the ride. Comgrats and good Work!
My favourite thing about the from soft games is how amazingly interconnected their worlds are. Pretty cool to see an environment artist freaking out over the same. I did tools and core tech during my time in games.
I’m glad you enjoyed Bloodborne! It’s my favorite from software game. You did such an amazing job. My favorite part was all of it.
I could never play this without a PS console but this was satisfying as it was fun to watch! Thank you for the wonderful playthrough Amber!
Well done, Skeleton! Amazing first playthrough! You keep talking down about your skills but you're much better than most people btw! Now for the rest of the FromSoft catalogue!
Your comment about finishing the game as a beast . . . i just realized that would actually be very fitting, since when you fight Gascoigne, he says there are beasts all over the shop, and that you'd become one of them. Other NPCs say similar things as well throughout the game.
So I didn't want to watch this video because I didn't want it to end. Bloodborne is my favourite game to play and you did amazingly and it was do great to watch someone's first playthrough of this and having you discover everything about.
I loved the theory that Brador killed Laurence, it's quite intriguing. But I am proud of you for getting through the game as you did and that you loved it as much as the community does :)
It was great to see you play Bloodborne. Your playthrough was way better than my first playthrough when this game came out. I even made a new character to play along.
I usually only watch a clip of a certain boss to see reactions but this is the first time I ever watched a whole playthrough from beginning to end, you've got fun energy like hangingout with a friend on a weekend night, looking forward to your sekiro laythrough if you ever will.❤
Heyhey!
Superlate to the party, but the TH-cam algorithm has blessed me with a video from this playthrough and after watching a little bit I then proceeded to binge it all in a few sittings cause I loved it 😊
It was wonderful to see you experience the game for the first time and whilst I don't have a particular favourite moment off the top of my head, in general I really appreciate the way you immersed into it and took everything in like the environments, item descriptions, connected the dots with lore... You've connected bits of lore in one go around that took me several playthroughs and watching some other playthroughs, so I'm really amazed how full this first experience was in that respect! And it was very enjoyable to see how the combat clicked with your playstyle and you really flew through some fights after getting the mechanics down. I'm so sorry that some people were very petty about how you played the game and that it affected you at times, but I'm very happy that overall it didn't sour your first experience with this game.
Anyways, seeing as I'm more than a year late to this playthrough, there's a good chance you won't see it. However, on the off chance this does reach you, I just wanted to let you know that I very much enjoyed watching you experience Bloodborne for the first time. Now I'll hop onto more recent stuff and watch you kick ass in Dark Souls! 😄
Thanks for this whole play-through, Amber.
It makes me so happy to see people still struck with excitement and wonder when playing this, just like I was when I first played it.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to play this game for the first time again...
What a great play through! Keep up the awesome work I've come to really enjoy your channel!
Hey, just wanted to let you know I binged the hell out of this series after playing the game for the first time myself. This was absolutely delightful. You're charming and a natural at the game. Sucks to see that you had to deal with a bunch of negative assholes, but I wanted to let you know you are really appreciated. I can't wait to watch your Dark Souls LP now
Rolling credits on your first From Soulsborne game is such a special feeling, we all go in worried that it'll be too much, that we're not up to the challenge but once you get through the first few hurdles and your mindset adjusts to what the game wants from you it becomes enjoyable and fascinating and then when the credits roll there is a release and then... The Hunger for more sets in.
I'd definitely recommend Sekiro, I think it'd suit the skillset you built up in BB better than Elden Ring.
1:29:15 She probably doesn’t remember being killed since the altar said “time _reverses_ for this scrap of flesh,” which implies she just reverted to her previous state which never was killed.
1:45:20 Honestly, you rocked it in playing it! You probably played better than most first time players! For me, I probably died 10-20 TIMES more than you! You did crazy good!
Congrats, Hunter!!! Getting through this is a serious accomplishment, loved seeing it through to the end. Looking forward to whats to come!!!
PS - we'll watch anything you play, so long as you're playing!
What a nice adventure. I really enjoy your playthrough, you have very good skills and I would love to see you in another fromsoftware game.
Congrats for finish bloodborne!
Much love
