I think lies of p doesn't really want to be bloodborne as badly as the overall bloodborne-feel makes it seem, given that they really wanted to make the parry thing matter so much that they included these red attacks that can only be parried, not dodged. it took me not understanding why I kept getting caught by the huge boss guy's sweeps for like 3 hours before I started to see their intended vision for play lmao

if I'm honest, I'm kind of more intrigued by its own vision than I was when I thought it just wanted to be bloodborne 2. but I also think it's set itself up for an uphill battle convincing people to play it in a way they wouldn't have played bloodborne

(not to disparage anyone who just wants to make bloodborne 2. I will never in my life say no to more bloodborne)
