Souls? !! Is the hype justified ???

So first to me as a player. I've been playing about 15 years active on console or PC and have already played several games of the genre (Soul series, however, not yet) and was accordingly have heard of the "difficulty" of the Soul games not too worried as I am.
When it came to bloodborne publication and the game was sold out immediately, I had to decide it overpriced classifieds, selling on eBay or similar or my first ever buying a game the Soul series, to give me a general impression of whether I could like such a game.
So it has come about that I've bought Dark Souls 2 on a beautiful Friday morning at the nearby electronics retailer. (I did not want to wait on Saturday that it comes via Amazon). First of all I can say is that I had until the first review to bloodborne and some occasional other reviews on Bloodborne not informed me of the Soul games and thus actually had no premonition of what would because really expect. (The cover reveals now honestly not much). I was therefore absolute Soulnewbie and thus one or the other, which it is also so maybe therefore be of help.
Arriving home, placed in the game console, skipped Insolvency Law Lecture, made beer cool, identified mobile, blinds down and off you go.

1: Character Creation: I can not and will not have much to say ... look of the character I was never really interessiert.2 clicks and you're done. Exciting it was in the class selection. There you have the choice of about 10 start characters, but as far as I can judge now is not always on the play that was later preferred effect. (One has more life, the other more strength, the others will etc etc, so not quite pointless to think about now, what I want to do that later). I am looking for classic fighting in melee. My first character was a warrior so. Everything went smooth, more words are at this point waste.

2: Getting Started / graphic / control: character created and go. An ugly warrior enters a not so well-lit clearing. Striking I found right that has no NPC greets me but that I was really alone initially. Taken Analog Stick, going gone, all the buttons on the controller pressed again in order to understand at least a couple of functions. In the tall grass and quickly came the first opponent, dogs (there were really dogs?) To me and wanted me directly to the leather. There were three, and after several minutes back and forth pebbles, Geschlage, new sightings, they had me on the ground, unfortunately. Me cheerfully greeted a message on the screen that I supposedly should still read often. "They died". Yes class I thought, starts well, maybe have all the reviewers, but not exaggerated with respect to the level of difficulty. I was seized of ambition!
Nagut. Second Try! This time, individually and thus successfully! We went through the initial area. The controller works great liquid and the commands are executed immediately! In my view, in a game with a high proportion of very, very important fight! Absolute plus point for the game. At this time I was about 20 minutes in the game, only to find there too that my graphics seemed doomed frumpy. In the end, I was aware that there should be a new edition of a Ps3 game for Ps4, but the graphics so real 0.0000 had what PS4 graphics, has me but then very surprised. So far as I can tell in advance, there's really no point in the game that would have impressed me graphically in any way. Really absolute Ps3 level. As one might regard graphics in the remake of "The Last of Us" cut off one or perhaps several slices ... Who wants to have a grade. More than a 4- I can not forgive for the graphics, unfortunately! Oh I would give it a controlling 2+ that just so on the edge.
Next we went through tall grass in the first hut and there greeted me and the first NPC (from here I go a real spoiler not on anything a). This tried me roughly to explain my role in the game, not very insightful :)
3: The Tutorial. After attending the first NPC came but half a "Tutorial". I was the individual commands of my controller shown again. Super! In my eyes totally ridiculous, but I've already fought, if I had not taught me alone commands to the dogs, I could not beat the dog ... Nagut whatever.
4: First Main Station. After the tutorial, I arrived in Majula. Not much more than a small old village. There I learned some NPCS know and can tell at this point that the village Majula should be one of the starting points for my entire trip. Short conversations with NPCs, the well as planned, could not provide all too much information. Real quests, as they are known from MMOs there is not the way. Thus, no quest log or similar. You have to find everything independently and see if something happens, if you have found something new. Sounds like a lot of work? JO is also ... A lot of work, a lot of time needed to find new ways to new areas, items, keys etc. There is not a predetermined path of the game. Along the lines of learning itself, find the way / object or maybe not ...
5: The first real opponent. On the journey of discovery through Majula it was time. The first real opponent came up to me, it was the defeat. Souls 2 connoisseurs will grin at this point ... 3 Little Pigs, standing behind a house in Majula attack me. Super funny I thought. If only her. Well Nope. Another approximately 5 minutes fight against these 3 little pigs, but in contrast to the dogs at least could not defeat me. What a cramp ... The conjecture about the difficulty of the game at that time was almost certainty. At this point I must reiterate that I am (I also prefer Cs.1.6 instead source played because the gameplay was horny) but here in Souls on the PS4 and a 60 inch television absolutely no graphics fanatic I was really really disappointed and have from that time regularly bothered me to the poor graphics ... Well again I will not hack it around!
6: The first "boss": It quickly became aware after the pigs, that I had to buy me a gun! This I got (a hand ax). For this I allowed myself a plate! From this point on, everything really changed ... everything. With weapon and shield in hand, I wandered through the first region (Forest of Giants) and hit the first boss. Short video sequence with nice sound and there you go. A gigantic figure (to match the area of ​​the forest of giant ?!) came up to me and wanted to take care of me. By now I had killed about 150-200 Trash opponent to get to this monster. The fighting was thus no stranger to me, and also the first movement pattern of the enemy had burned into my brain. The fight went about 1 minute .. left a little less ... The attentive reader to fall, 1 min for a Boss, 5 min for three mini-pigs ... Well what can I say. A sense of achievement was not the boss. Well well, why should the first boss also be difficult I thought me and off we went. (Short scoreboard for anyone interested ca 2h Playtime at this time and further 2 death (a total of at that time after the first Boss 3 death).
7: The second boss of the persecutors (do not worry for this boss I do not count on any further!) Not too long after the first Boss and other trash opponents I came to the second Boss. This I mention again separately, as this is the most difficult opponent in the game was for me. Very interesting, to me hitherto unknown attack patterns of Bosses, meant that I unfortunately I had to go the way to the boss for a further 3 times, because this has really totally bashed me in the first two tests) I actually felt something like "satisfaction" than I could give him the final blow with my ax and he broke up in smoke! (The score is approximately 4 hours playtime, death: 6)
8: The other bosses: Tjo from now a stark jump in my narrative. But I also do not ... why all the other bosses, were harder to 0%. ALWAYS really always always always the damn same game. By far the Boss his attack patterns ca 30sec memorize, make 1-2 punches refrain await attack patterns, making 1-2 punches after the pattern I have defeated all the other bosses in Dark Souls 2 .... I am actually at no other boss more than 2 times died. Happiness in a boss kill, as I had, at least initially after defeating the prosecutor did not come on. The final boss I want to mention again separately, since this was the absolute highlight of the whole negative bosses in the game in my eyes. Boss Design was in almost all bosses "okay" but this boss was not only outwardly totally uncreative but also its capabilities were for a final boss really an underground operation. Nash Andra had unfortunately after 1.5 min the temporal bless ... Well.
9: Summary. a) I died at the end of the game 27 times. b) The difficulty of the game arises not by strong raid bosses, but unfortunately only with a ridiculous amount of trash opponents who often can be fatal but individually a joke, but in a large pack. c) control the whole game I personally liked about. d) I was able to play the whole game with the hand ax, which I got after 1 hour. (Upgrading the weapon was possible), whether one is positive or negative, everyone must decide for themselves, d) graphics in a nutshell: Maximum Ps3 level, e) Bosse: multiple discussed: With few exceptions, ridiculous, f) A mass of Items that could be found, I have almost never needed one. Pharros Wahrheitsverkünder and perfume sectors, much more was useless. g) story was rather lacking, unfortunately by the few NPCs.

Conclusion: In my opinion, a good game, especially now without pierce through anything out. Except perhaps the needed game time you have to spend when you "blind" play the whole game. Personally, I would advise all interested parties to bloodborne. I myself have to bloodborne the odd Lets Play looked at and the bosses saw there clearly much more demanding. Graphically seen of course in a different league. Enjoy spoiled for choice!
