Bloodborne - Artbook officiel

Fantastic quality artwork Fantastic quality book

Purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend at Christmas and was at first hesitant to get him the French edition instead of the English. But after reading reviews about the vastly superior quality of the book both inside and out, and realising it's an *art* book and not a novel, I thought he wouldn't really be missing out on any written context. I'm really pleased with the quality and price of this product and honestly, I'd recommend this one over the English version any day if you aren't fussed about concept art being accompanied by a limited amount of written description.

After reading reviews about the English version being flimsy and feeling like the pages would literally fall out I opted for this version on the recommendation of another reviewer that this is a hardback. A lovely premium feeling book which is half the price of the English version and I don't buy art books for triple AAA games to read, it is to look at the images. Yes, some of the images are dark but have you played the game? There is no light in this game, it is literally a nightmare and possibly one of the circles of hell. Foreboding Lovecraftian creatures with beautiful Victorian Era Gothic style buildings, structures and environments. And even a detailed synopsis in the back about every in game item, highly recommend.

Purchased for my son, self proclaimed BLOODBORNE master. Ok I agree he has completed it on the highest difficulty. So he also appreciated the art, in recognition of this I gave him my guide books and this. Hardcover all the way and it is very nice. The French dialogue is limited but he says this is not a problem after 3 play thrus he can make all the creatures and environments. It is a solid release and well worth the money for a fan of the game.

Despite the language, it was a great deal for me as a BB fan. The cover and the pages are high quality, it has almost all the artwork, even DLC. Shipping was extremely fast as well, it arrived to Hungary within 2 days!

Bought as a gift by my son. No reports back so I assume all good. This is the French version, and I was told that the artwork in this book is better than in the English edition.

Well… I messed up picking up the wrong version which is French Version, I thought it was an English Version, but it doesn’t matter it’s on me. Other than that, everything is completely fabulous!!

I was aware this would be in French, I only know little french but I bought this for the art which I think is magnificent. Being as the English version isn't a hardback and I saw reviews stating the quality wasnt great (plus an extra fiver than this one!) It was a no brainer that I'd get this one. It's decent quality. It's what I expected it to be and if I need to know what something says I'll bloody Google it but with sodd all writing being as it's an ART book I think I'll live.

Just perfect, the art is amazing

Todo muy bien, el envío fue rápido a pesar que el vendedor sea de Francia. Cumple con lo que anuncia

I still think the book is really cool but slightly annoyed about the French part

Tråkigt att den är på franska men det är underbar artwork.

Dato che mi rifiuto di comprare un artbook con copertina flessibile, ho valutato per molto tempo se comprare questo artbook francese, unica versione con copertina rigida esistente. Alla fine ho ceduto, mi son detto "Vive la France", e l'ho acquistato. Ho subito pensato: "Perchè ho aspettato così tanto?!" I contenuti sono assolutamente identici alla versione inglese, e persino il numero di pagine è praticamente lo stesso. Ovviamente i testi sono in lingua francese, ma credo che questo sia l'artbook con il minor numero di parole che io abbia mai visto e non presenta NESSUNA descrizione esclusiva rispetto al gioco, se non i nomi dei vari nemici che nel gioco non vengono esplicitati, ma basterà una rapidissima traduzione con google translate e questo piccolo ostacolo sarà superato. Per quanto riguarda le immagini, punto forte dell'opera ovviamente, diciamo subito che l'editore, Mana Books, è un editore serissimo che pubblica prodotti di altissima qualità senza nulla da invidiare ad altri ben più noti come Future Press, ed infatti la qualità si nota anche in questo prodotto. Le immagini sono perfette e molte presentano l'effetto di aberrazione cromatica che si nota anche in gioco (una sorta di asincronia dei colori sui margini delle immagini), ma questo ovviamente è un effetto voluto che contribuisce a dare quell'atmosfera onirica che tanto caratterizza Bloodborne. Gli sketch sono bellissimi e molto interessanti, così come lo sono i dettagli dei personaggi, delle armi e dei mostri. Se proprio dovessi trovare un difetto, direi che l'artbook è veramente molto scuro, con una prevalenza del nero quasi soverchiante, ma d'altra parte Bloodborne non poteva essere altrimenti. In ultima analisi, un artbook eccezionale per gli appassionati di Bloodborne: non cedete alle altre versioni in copertina flessibile, ben più costose senza alcun motivo, e concedetevi invece questa stupenda versione in copertina rigida senza temere la lingua francese.
