I'm not excited in the slightest.  I'm concerned more than anything. The series will probably end up like Mass Effect and Dead Space at this point.

If anything, they proved with Bloodborne that they can add diversity to their games while still maintaining the highly polished gameplay and atmosphere that fans expect.
Except where characters suffer to being flat and having no story and everything revolves around the randomness of dodging.

Well that's just, like, your opinion, man. I don't know how you can say the characters have no story since every single one has a quest or interacts somehow with others.

The characters in Bloodborne weren't flat though, most of them were at least somewhat interesting. Alfred, Gehram and the Doll all actually being a bit deeper then the rest.

Bloodborne's story was probably the best in the series, it was the deepest and most well though out of the 4 Soul's games by far. The cosmic horror story really feeling unique and deep.

Randomness of dodging? Are you serious?
I won't disagree with the story being good.  But it seems like they can't get the characters like they did in Dark Souls.  Alfred is mildly interesting, mostly a world story dump who goes crazy sort of and then just dies.  Eileen is sort of interesting and then just dies.  I seems like Gehrman and the Doll are a bit more interesting if you consider the Doll being the real "villain". 

And with the dodging, yeah.  It's the only thing you can rely on to avoid damage, and it's not always reliable.  PlagueOfGripes brings up some good points on the dropping of shields entirely in favor of dodging thing.

That's like how the characters in Drak Souls II have stories.  yeah, you can talk to them, but then they're just there till they die or end.  There's really not much to them.  Of course, I'm comparing them to the characters of the first Dark Souls. 
But sure, Bloodborne did some neat things, like with Adella getting jealous of Arianna.  But by comparison, the cast of characters seem to fall flat.

I dunno man, they seem pretty great. They don't just sit around and chuckle like DkS characters typically did. Eileen in particular is a great character.

Am I the only one who found dark souls 2 better than bloodborne? I mean in terms of enemy design and art bloodborne is miles ahead but I just like the weapon diversity and lots of armor combos from dark souls 2 and little things things being able to reset skills and whatnot.

Diversity is fine, but the great thing about BB's equipment is that very little of the armor is useless (and pieces that are useless are for cosmetic use), and all weapons are viable throughout the whole game.

The only downside is that they pigeonhole you into specific builds.

Oh my.. I look like i'm completely ragging on the game.  Despite all my noise, Bloodborne is still a very good game.

See, after Scholar of the first Sin I thought the Souls series ended on a good note thematically, and I assumed there would be no more souls games.
I can see one way they could develop a story that could be compelling.

This is because I do see the Souls games as driven by themes that transcribe to story and message.

I'd be okay with another Souls game as long as it's more compelling and technically challenging, but I think combined that's a tall order.
