I want to play Bloodborne because quite frankly it looks really cool. I'm told the game is going to be way too difficult for me. I usually play games on standard or easy difficulty. Should I even bother? Is this game even going to be playable to a noob like me?

Souls games aren't hard if you can slow down, observe, and be patient. Exception might be Dark Souls 3, but the original and Dark Souls, and Dark Souls 2 reward thoughtful, methodical, and cautious play.

Dark Souls 3 however is too fast paced for me, it changed the formula too much. Bloodborne is more approachable, but still fast.

Elden Ring is the perfect balance.

Sekiro is for masochists with a good sense of rhythm.

2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
