i almost just want to shake these morons and point out the entire reason they are so enthralled by the world in bloodborne, but can't remember what they did for an entire 20 hours in other fantasy games is because of the more intricate characterizations that come from not just making everything evil for no reason.
it's like that bit from the rlm videos about how you don't notice, but your brain does. if the characters are capable of complex motivations, then there's a reason for the player to care why the game world is the way it is and an underlying logic to how everything functions. you can actually infer and extrapolate things from the game world which is why there are a bajillion lore videos for bloodborne while nobody gave a fuck what the aliens in crysis were doing.
