I like bloodborne a lot! The things that drag it down are chalices/random drops, "instant" enemy attacks and getting stuck on terrain without defensive options, lack of build variety, the sinister bell system, and farming for blood vials

a shield is fine, unless it engenders passivity.

I think I mostly like the aggressive combat and the setting/atmosphere/theme

I played MHW on the PS4 and I couldn't get into it. The combat didn't feel fun and I felt like I was straining my eyes.

Dark Souls 1 has a cute bug where you parry and it messes up the camera and that lets you walk into Senn's early

Bloodborne is clearly objectively the best out of all of those games. Since you didn't list it first, we can safely say that all of your opinions on this matter are not credible.

cool lore video for ds3
I'd thought it notable that Lion Knight would crystal out if you went to fight dancer, but you could bring the swordsman in. Also the different faction summons for abyss watchers and pontiff. The way you got the archives key seemed weird too, this actually puts everything together and gives context to the gank squad.

Good video, and quality example of storytelling through mechanics
