Bloodborne, a game about transformation:

>humans transforming into beasts
>humans transforming into ayys
>ayys transforming into humans
>bosses transform mid-fight
>music picks up and transforms with the boss

>>324198217
The entire game revolves around motifs of flawed imitations and trying to revive things from the past. Think of the Lord Souls that ended up in Drangleic, think about the Old Dragonslayer, think about Aldia trying to revive dragons, think about the sunbros following old legends and the miracles all being reconstructed historical rituals and the gods being things people have revived in an attempt to find something to worship.

Dark Souls 2 is about being an imperfect imitation of something that came before.

Trees are stationary and aren't trying to actively kill the lumberjacks.

If anything you swing it like a hammer. Plus, it has a stationary buzzsaw mode.
>>
>>324198782
the same principle applies

>>324198782

that brings up another issue with the saw: it's depth of cut. the blades on the saw are tiny as fuck. they would only register as papercuts against any of the bigger beasts and kin in BB. Furthermore, the machinery that powers the blade keeps you from sinking the teeth further into the target, like you can do with the Axe, saws or swords

What is considered the good ending in BB?

easy way out seems like it, you wake up and the sun is rising and everything looks fine and peaceful, but is it just blue pill stuff? Also, can't reward the player for not fighting Gerhnman.

You kill Gerhnman and you are turned into him which means you will eventually face the same fate.

You turn into a space slug.

Ahh, Kos, or some say Kosm... Do you hear our prayers? As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy. The grand lake of mud, hidden now, from sight. The cosmos, of course! Let us sit about, and speak feverishly. Chatting into the wee hours of... New ideas, of the higher plane!

Kos/Kosm is an eldritch abomination who Misolash believes to be essentially the god of the Bloodborne world. He desires the deeper sight that is granted to some creatures in order to purge the beast from his mind as well as grant him greater sight. He wishes to learn the ideas of trascendentalism, of the planes above his own.

Bloodletter can hurt if you manage to catch people in your AoE. From what I remember it once you start it it won't stop unless you die so you can easily catch people that don't know what the fuck it is in the blast.

Focus on one, lower his health half way. Dodge the attacks from the others.
Focus on another, and repeat. Then the last and repeat.

Do this until you lower all of their health bars to just a slither.
Then deliver the killing blow to each.

You can cheese amyg really easily.

Stay around the edge of the room and keep running around it in a circle, it pretty much can't hit you.

Whenever it does an attack which puts its head down, go in, attack head, get out.

Then when it gets to the next phase, just go behind it, it will jump and miss you every time and you can just fuck up its legs/arms

just finished it. gr8 game. some thoughts:

-Combat system was fucking awesome. I just started the Witcher 3 and damn does it feel clunky compared to BB. specifically, the quickstepping (O when locked on) was really great.

-I'm not convinced the story made as much sense as the hardcore fans say. however, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think how cryptic the bits and pieces were added to the overall vibe/aesthetic, and it was nice to play an RPG without long cutscenes throughout.

-something about the Insight system felt a bit off, although I'm not 100% sure what it was meant to achieve anyway. I've done some reading and it seems like there's a lot of speculation about what changes come about because of it... but yeah, it seems like there are enough other indicators of progress (overall level - specific attribute level - weapon level) that it really isn't necessary. I guess it's also a form of currency, but is that really necessary either? seems like Insight could have been scrapped.

-map was pretty awesome overall, but I could have done without the open forest areas. urban areas, castles, churches, etc. were way cooler than the forests imo.

-some more music would have been nice. there were some tedious-ish times when I was farming and wishing there was something going in the background.

-I thought it was pretty lame that you can only pistol stagger enemies on some attacks. like, I'm supposed to study all of each enemy's moves, know which attack they are starting, and then make the decision to stagger? because of this, the precise timing needed, and the fact that you have to be so damn close to actually pull off the visceral attack, I rarely used my gun. I did like using charged attacks from the back to stagger enemies though. that's where 95% of my visceral attacks came from.

-Gehrman was way fucking harder than any other boss. None of the others took me more than a few tries. Gehrman took about 20 attempts.

but yeah overall ~9.5/10 type of game imo

Wonder why

And usually it's pretty easy to see which attack is coming. (Other than hunters)

And with insight, if you have 15 enemies gain new attacks, if you have 40 giant amygdala's appear in yharnam.

I liked insight to be honest, it's more meta than it is an actual mechanic.
>>
>>324215147
>Those 15 are far more unique than any other weapons in the Souls series and have transformations.
Perhaps but it feels empty. I'd rather have weapons gradually get better and be a little different as the game goes on rather than have a glut of dramatically different weapons at the beginning but hardly anything later.

it makes more sense thematically and from a lore standpoint. insight is your ability to perceive the world as it actually is, with more insight you are able to see more, thus realizing that the guys in the cathedral wards can also shoot bolts of arcane fire out of their lamps.

being ignorant is useful

What exactly are the point of Chalice dungeons. It doesn't seem like you get much of anything good. Instead you get a ton of materials to...make more Chalice dungeons
>>
>>324216919
Because like I said, it's more meta than it is an actually game mechanic.

Levelling used blood.

Insight is what allows humans to ascend, that's why talking to Willhem gives you insight, he has "eyes on the inside" which he and the scholars thought would allow them to commune with the great ones, but instead he couldn't handle the insight and turned in to a potato.

It's a story thing.

I don't understand how enemies getting new moves fits in thematically with what you are describing.

and the idea that you can intentionally rid yourself of insight in order to become ignorant again doesn't make much sense.

hey, I don't totally hate the insight system, and I understand what it's going for, but let's not act like it's perfect.

A game set 1000 of years in the future where the great ones coming back are actually a cycle of rebirth.

This game is my favorite and overall consistent with its tones and themes of transformation

Its more accessible to newbies, and the new combat system is a treat for old DS players.

Monster designs are amazingly freaky, and the tension of the game added to the monsters makes the game scarier than any recent horror game.

Combat is orgasmic, and more intense than any modern shooter or previous DS game.

That would be ok as another DLC and i'd love that.

So we can see yarnham as a proper city with people everywhere and not a run down deserted city with monsters and a few straglers left.

We can actually see peole transform in the streets and start murdering people.

That would be awsome!

Great idea anon another dlc prequel(old hunters is technically also a prequel) would be very welcomed from bloodborne fans.

We dont want a sequel

Third_Umbilical_Cord.jpg

So I have a japanese friend and I asked him about the ideal translation to this item's name. The japanase word is 3本目のへその緒, which US version translates to "One Third of Umbilical Corde", possibly an allusion that we have to get three of them. My friend says the best translation would be "Third Umbilical Cord", which doesn't make sense because you are born with only one cord, unless it refers that the mother had three children and this one its of the youngest. However some time later he came to me with another possible translation. He said that '目' is the word for 'eye' in japanese and '3本目' literally means third, so this very well could be a play with words to say "Umbilical Cord of the Third Eye".
>>
>>324228747
Sorry but eye just don't understand

>>324228747
I could dig it, what with the game's fascination with eyes and how there are fucking eyes all over the thing.
>>
>>324228983
Third Eye is a common analogy for 'enlightenment' or 'all seeing'. So when the player consumes the three umbilical cords he develops the third eye and reaches the true enlightenment the others were looking for, thus becoming a Great One/God.

as far as i've experienced with mates and my lil' bro, Bloodborne is way easier to get into in comparison to Dark Souls, you don't get as punished for doing dumb shit in the beginning of Bloodborne as you do in DaS; the health-regen mechanic also encourages r1 spam, which shitters tend to do. I dunno man, I've seen a guy with 300 hours in DaS die to Cleric beast 4 times in a row and an 11 year old with 0 hours in any souls game take Cleric beast and father gascoigne in their first go.

BB is easier to get into and ppl with no souls experience do a lot better in BB since they just learn BB ways, while bunch of souls noobs only know how to use shield and have no idea about dodging etc, as someone who never used shield in any souls game BB was easy for me and since its so much faster it was also a lot easier since my gaming adhd makes me better if things happen fast and not so slow like in souls while some of my friends that love souls games but never got good enough to drop shield struggled in BB for long time before they got used to no shield style... good thing is they said they will never return to shield while replaying souls or playing DS3 :)

Honeslty OP I was a little bit let down with how Bb presented a few of its concepts.

Regain isn't nearly as critical to Bb's combat as they suggested it would be. I get the impression that it was too difficult to balance so they settled for moon grass from DeS. It'd need a massive buff and its window of opportunity widened to be viable, and our Blood Vial count would need to be at least halved.

And as is Beastmode is a shit build type, a weak meter, a weak weapon, and a neat little rune. It isn't woven into the main gamplay loop enough, which is a shame because the concept of the Berserker goes hand-in-hand with the regain mechanic, seems like these two ambitious ideas were downplayed in favor for the safer but still amazing combat system we have now.

And I wish they did more with insight
>>
>>324233593
>Where's this Vati motherfucker you people keep going on about
Never heard of him, google says is a youtube player who attempts to explain the Lore. I'll watch his videos later.

Right now I have this little theory that every Great One in the game is a half-breed, an imperfect ascension of humanity, the true ayys left long ago and what we have now is but the remains of their touch in this plane. The player is the first successful human Great One, because he reached enlightenment, partly, on his own.

The Byrgenwerth Academy used to pursed the enlightenment and finally made a breakthrough when they opened the old Pthumeru labyrinth and found the Great Ones and the Old Blood. Willen and Laurence disagreed with each other about which would lead them to true ascending.

As we see Laurence's deformed skull in the Grand Cathedral, with a insight inside (akin to the Mad men's knowledge) we can presume Laurence tried to ascend himself through the old blood and became a beast. And with the Choir being guided by Ebrietas in blood ministration I say they were in fact administrating the old blood not only to heal but to study its effects and eventually reach ascending.

>music picks up and transforms with the boss

No idea how Bloodborne does it but I remember that the way MGR:R did it was fucking god tier.
>boss fight
>music starts playing
>fight gets more intense with second stage
>music gets louder and more energetic
>3rd stage of the fight begins

holy fuck this made the bossfights memorable

One thing I'm not clear on.
What did the old olood come from
A dead old one?
>>
The Undead Giant with the sickle arm and chains on his back seems bullshit. Any suggestions or do you just need to out-damage him?
>>
>>324238942
You'll find that chalice dungeons in general are bullshit
One good tip I can give you is that to not pop his zit immediately, as difficult as that may seem. Save it for when he's low on health
Other than that you just have to play EXTREMELY carefully, use long range weapons, and use whatever projectiles you have
molotovs, bone marrow guns, magic if you're building arcane
Same goes for abhorrent beast whenever you get to him

I finished him off with the gatling gun, but just barely because that fat nigger goes berserk on you in his last 20%
>>
>>324238942
Dodge his shit.
>but the spin
Don't go behind him. Dodge his shit.

>>324238450
It's plausible. If you go through the story only you need only to kill Rom and the Wet Nurse of the Great Ones. One hides the nightmare, another guards the source of the nightmare. So you can say Moon Presence's ultimate goal is to kill Mergo.

>>324238845
The Old Blood was found in the labyrinth. It's either the blood of the Great Ones or, more likely, the blood of the Pthumerians long dead.
>>
>>324238278
The difference is we don't have Micolash, Willem, or a Lesser Amidala sending dudes to the Hunter's Dream.
>>
>>324240096
>Williem
You can kill Williem and still get in there.
>>
>>324240239
Because he fucking put Rom in the lake.

what a surprise, another one who doesnt get it
>>

Nigga no the lake is just a door to roms own pocket dimension we walk in and kill his ass.
>>
>>324239898
i think it's actually mergo's blood
>>
>>324212930
I'm subbed to that guy and i missed this.
baka

>>324228747
oh shit nigger
>>
>>324240358
It's not like Rom made the portal he's vacuous.
>>
>>324240378
Mergo is baby though
>>
>>324240358
No, Rom is in the Lake. As in, the higher form of lake from which all lesser, Earthly lakes emanate.
>>
>>324191432

i missed this part apparently

I have never seen people try to read more depth where none exists since the Smash community.

Fuck off you pretentious cunt.

>>324240509
so?

>>324240570
he doesnt know what hes talking about

>>324212930
they cactually cared, also Miyazaki wanted to make a victorian era game for a long time, so the ideas had time to go from okay to good to great
>>
>>324240378
Unlikely. It's implied that, like his father, Mergo doesn't exist in the physical realm.
>>
>ayys transforming into humans

When does this happen

>>324237558
Axe is blunt too, isn't it? I thought the only two phys damage types were blunt and thrust
>>
>>324241637
yes, but only on charged attack and heavy tricked if im right
>>
>>324191432
I'm stuck on this fucking crow fucker. Goddamn hunters in this game can be harder than bosses holy shit
>>
>>324241637
slash is the default
blunt and thrust are specified because they aren't as common
there's also the serrated damage bonus
>>
>"You're welcome to use whatever you find. *whispers* ...Even the doll, should it please you..."

What did he mean by this?
>>
So if I want to access Old Hunters DLC I just need to beat Amelia right

well emphasis on JUST. Bitch is kicking my ass, and as far as I can tell I can't chimp out and use summons.
>>
>>324241751
It was foreshadowing the irony that the Doll is the one to your slug form to pleasure herself
>>
>>324241751
DOLL IS NOT FOR LEWD
>>
>>324241637
It depends on the move, for the axe. Hammer is always blunt.
The hammer scales better for strength but worse for skill, so your stats could also make a difference, albeit one you shouldn't notice if you've just gotten to Amelia.
>>
>>324241782
Yes, you just have to beat Amelia and examine the skull.

Break her legs for massive damage
>>
>>324241782
If Amelia is giving you trouble, you ain't ready for the DLC
>>
>>324241782
Go through the dlc on NG+, you will understand it better. That if you do care about the story.
>>
>>324241731
You mean the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst, or Eileen?
Edgecrow is deliberate bullshit, just farm at the loft and overlevel yourself.
>>
>>324241872
>depends on the move
Pretty sure two handing the axe is blunt for all moves, from what I remember reading
>>
>>324201737
>doom music intensifies
>>
>>324238618
Bloodborne doesn't have vocals, but it's the same principle.

Ludwig has the most obvious "phases" and the music changed to occampany that.

>>
>>324241925
Cainhurst Crow, yeah. I assume he only has one blood vial, thank god. But he always gets me when he does nothing but dash and shoot.
>>
>>324241910
He can just run past dudes and get the Beast Cutter, Beasthunter Saif, Amygdalan Arm, or Whirlygig Saw. That's the preferred method of going skill, kill Amelia and rush the Saif.
>>
>>324241935
The quickstep, backstep, and dash moves are all slash for some reason.
>>
>>324242003
You stacking blood defense? His sword 2h and all guns deal blood damage.
>>
>>324241731
>Goddamn hunters in this game can be harder than bosses holy shit
Congratulations you discovered the truth. Hunters are the real beasts.
Djura was right
>>
>>324192326
underrated post.
>>
>>324242114
Defense matters?
>>
>>324241879
I need to increase my vitality. I was a whopping 10 vitality fag in dark souls so I've barely touched it. So I probably should at least once my primary attacking stat (Skill in this case) reaches 40, right?
>>
>>324241925
>>324242003
Stay close, his repeating pistol is way more dangerous than the chikage. He's piss easy to visceral when he goes into two handed mode. Keep an eye out for when he starts to slowly walk towards you, he'll always attack once he reaches a certain range. That's the easiest time to get a parry in.
>>
>>324242152
If a single damage type is consistently fucking with you, yes. You'll never be able to tank shit but if you can get take one more hit out of stacking it's worth it.
>>
>>324242171
Once you get skill to around 25 or so start upping vit. Maybe even before then, it's way more important in BB than it was in other souls games.
>>
>>324242171
The usual stat allocation is almost always 50 VIT, 20 END, 50 DMG1, 25 DMG2.
>>
>>324242283
yeah my vit is 14 right now and skill at around 37.. Soooo yeah, I should probably start pumping into Vitality.

is Endurance any bit important?
>>
Anybody else disappointed with a lot of the bosses? I don't mean by design, they look awesome. But mechanics wise, I think they really forgot what made, not just an interesting fight, but a fun one.

So many of the bosses have really powerful moves, but after dodging one, I found I was hardly rewarded for it because the end of these attacks hardly leave an opening for two hits. It's like if the boss were controlled by a human and just spammed that powerful move, there's no way the boss would lose.

>decide to take a right at Amelia's
>find the tonitrus fag, manage to kill him
>suddenly attacked by some fag with a blunderbuss, keeps running away from me like a douche

HOLD STILL DAMN
>>
>>324242389
Not really, I made it through my first run of the game with just 16 or 17 endurance. It's nice to have the extra bit of stamina but it's certainly not vital. As long as you're able to get three or four hits in and still have enough to safely retreat then you'll be fine, but more will make things a little easier.
>>
>>324242389
Endurance seems very less important than ever. Your dodging hardly removes any stamina, so the only reason you'd want to get stamina is to maybe do one extra swing for your combo, which you'll never land on anything
>>
>>324242389
stop leveling anything but vitality until it's at least 25. That sht is important

Endurance is a hot button topic
Some swear by 15, some 20, some 30
The general consenus is 15 if you're going for PVP standard 98 and 20 if you're pumping past that
You don't really need any past 20 unless you really like spamming R1 or if you're shooting for the highest level you can go
>>
>>324242642
>>324242642
but my whopping 10 vitality

>>324242569
Run away from him, he'll go back to his rest spot.
On the cliffs overlooking the area, there's a spot on the left where you can jump down onto the roof and then on the ground. This doesn't alert him.
Sneak up, heavy R2, visceral, run like a bitch, etc.
>>
>>324242675
Meh, I refused to level Vit my entire NG run. You should be fine if you're good at adapting to new enemies
>>
>>324242817
i'm not
>>
It's going to test your patience. I can't tell you how annoying it is to die by one grab, especially on a boss
>>
Do you guys remember the sickdark meme?

I want a interactive movie about a Byrgenwerth student that gets involved in the discovery of the Pthumerian Labyrinth and witnesses the start of blood ministration, the creation of the Healing Church and all the shit that ensued in Yharnam.
