That’s pretty cool, he’s working so hard to turn the xbox brand/xbone around. Who knows we may see a Xbone exclusive “Souls” title.
“New IP” lol.
Bloodborne ain’t no “new IP” lol… Is he unaware of the spiritual predecessors that are ON the Xbox?
Are you guys really arguing wether Bloodborne is a new IP or not?
Technically it is but, in the context of that tweet, it’s dumb to call it that. It’s a Souls game; it’s indirectly part of a series. It didn’t sell 1M as a “new IP,” it sold it as a spiritual successor to DeS/DS.
Spencer speaks as and for everyday consumers , not necessarily telling DS fans that : “o hey gratz!”.
While there is no doubt sales have been boosted because it is a “souls game” , it hasn’t sold as fast/well just because of that.
Good example :
The Yakuza games are the spiritual successors to the Shenmue games , And Yakuza didn’t sell as well as it did (atleast in japan)
because it originated from the Shenmue games , the Yakuza games sold well because they were good games.
Yeah I mean, from a business perspective, it is a new IP completely. Since it has a different name and no “part 2/3” on the title, it means the average consumer doesn’t know what to expect. And guess what, the average consumer is the largest contributor of sales, especially for AAA games.
With the information flow of today I find it hard to believe the average joe didn’t know shit about it. Especially with twitch and all the youtubers talking about thegame. It’s pretty much the equivalent of a new FF; characters and setting may be different but the backbone remains the same. People knew it was a Souls game and weren’t lead to believe anything different.
So my bro is goin out of town for 4 days, campin at the grand canyon and guess who gets the borrow the PS4. Time to dig out my Hunters gear.
Aaaawww yea, ready to bust some skulls now.
All people know about Souls is “it’s hard”
People don’t know jack shit about the game if they haven’t played it, which is probably most gamers still. You guys forget that games like GTA sell over 40 million. Compared to Bloodborne just now breaking 1 million.
LOTS OF GAMERS DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT IT. Lots of gamers don’t even check game news websites. They just see a big release and go “lol I guess I’ll get that cause I’m people say it’s cool”
Headless bloodletting beast is incredibly annoying. Anyone else fought this bastard yet?
Is that different from just “Bloodletting Beast”?
Yeah, there’s an alternate version. That is very annoying.
What’s an ‘Xbox’? #DeS 
He can shoot projectiles, different attacks patterns, he’s missing a head, and at 50% you’re in for a surprise.
Even though his head is missing, you can still hit the hurtbox of where his head is supposed to be and you can even do a V.Attack. It looks pretty weird since you stuff your weapon in the air and blood is gushing from nowhere.
Spoiler
Eventually it turns into a parasite Resident Evil monster.
Chalice Dungeons are starting to kick my ass. Ran into Rom again; he’s easier and harder this time, since you can pick off the spiders and get clean shots at him, but he spams Arcane worse than before.

I’m level 80 and starting the chalice dungeons for the first time. I feel woefully op lol
Fuck those red eyed dogs. Just had to fight two of them at once.
Yeah, they’re balanced to generally match your story progression. Depth 4 and 5 are like NG+ and NG++
Have fun fighting him in the cursed chalice dungeon, lol.
Spoiler
you only get 50% of your total health and everything pretty much ohkos you
