Apparently this is on sale in the ps4 store.

I love Bloodborne so I have to ask if ds2 is worth getting?

How are the graphics and mechanics compared to Bloodborne?

And I have to ask, how are load times?

Some like it, some don't. It's not up to the standard of the earlier Souls games, but it's not a bad game either. DaS2 has, compared to Bloodborne:

- Slower paced combat with more focus on stamina management. Shields are actually useful. Be aware that dodging in DaS2 is tied to a stat unlike in BB and earlier Souls games, and IMO the controls are not as responsive overall. There are some hitbox issues, but they are not game-breaking.
- Less complex level structure. Can't compare the graphics with BB because I've not played the PS4 version. PS3 version was not very refined graphics-wise.
- Larger variety of weapons and armour.
- Mostly easier bosses.

I just finished Bloodborne and have started DS2:SotFS, about 30 hours in. Here are my impressions:

-I would say it is worth getting if you're a fan of the genre in general.

-If you've never played a 'Souls' game before, you might want to look into understanding the whole "hollow" effect as coming from Bloodborne, you might suddenly be wondering why you have only half your health bar.

-For the most part, you need to take any fight slower than you would in Bloodborne. Mistakes are painful, and there's no "quickly attack your enemy to get your health back" mechanic. Even going back into a previous area, if you're trying to rush through and make a mistake in a pack of enemies, you're more than likely dead.

-I played a dual wielding build for Bloodborne, and am going tanky for DS2. It just feels right with the need for stamina management and shields play a huge role in survivability.

-Your character is slow. S.L.O.W. Which goes along with the tanky feel.

-I am playing the PS4 version - it does not look as nice as Bloodborne overall, as it was developed for the previous generation initially, but it plays at a SOLID 60FPS the whole time so far an doesn't really look bad; I think it's mostly a change in the art style. You can tell it's playing better than on the PS3 and better than Bloodborne. With that said, I find the controls are responsive in the PS4 version.

-A lot of weapons and armor to choose from, which might make it seem overwhelming coming from Bloodborne. Rest assured you can complete the game with any single one really, so just focus on which one has a move set you like.

If you like to PVP, it's still pretty active.

tl,dr - get it. It's fun.

Bought it since it was on sale. I started playing it and found the first 10 minutes to be OK.

Once I am totally done with Bloodborne, I'll probably make DS2 my new addiction.

Unfortunately, I decided to buy Rocket League also. RL is super addicting.
