18 Things Only Gamers In Their 20s Will Understand

So who's looking forward to Bloodborne? Okay, Souls' diehards who are already scratching 'Praise the Sun' into their forearms put your hands down, and the rest of you get on with your homework.

Sure, Sony's latest exclusive is going to be fantastic (hopefully), it's the first new franchise from FromSoftware since their Souls series changed the way we play RPGs, but at the same time just look at the footage released so far - are you buying this to genuinely have fun, or just to say that you've played through it?

Any game like Trials, Super Meat Boy, Dark Souls etc. being sold off the back of "Well, get ready to die!" just warrants many a sprouting of the middle finger back in its return direction.
