Guys I'm 27 years old. How do I git gud at this?

>>376229189
stop playing games you literal senior citizen

It's all about the mindset, man. You have to find your center, feel the mood, and in Bloodborne's case, embrace your inner psychopath.

Ask Nintenbros they seem to know a lot about the combat despite never playing it.

>>376229189
Learn to visceral attack and learn how to dodge to the left.

>>376229189
Just dodge and don't worry you have a crap load of healing.

Did I ever tell you about the time I platinumed Bloodborne in 10 days? It was the summer of 86....

Bloodborne main problem is the ending can only be unlocked with a guide or internet help

>Bloodborne main problem is the ending can only be unlocked with a guide or internet help
Is this a joke? It only requires to use three consumable items that you find in the game(one is missable, which is why there are four in total). And to consume them before the endboss. Most people got the ending by default.

>>376230220
>Most people got the ending by default.
You mean most people looked up a guide and looked at trophies so they knew what to do before finishing the game, to get the ending by default.

>>376230220
There was a thread yesterday where it was determined OP was retarded for not realizing to eat the cords even when he had 3

>>376230220
>It only requires to use three consumable items that you find in the game
which no one will ever remember to eat 3 cords during the game because of the total of 4, 2 are very hard to find.

>>376230307
>Looked at a guide
I'm pretty sure most people were able to find the Lecture hall, it's only told to you in game where it is.

>>376229189
38yo here. Spent 8 hours treating bb like witcher 3. Just get used to dying and learn how to gun parry. Also saw cleaver and pistol. And run to the first boss, get an insight and grind away a few levels

Another big problem of Bloodborne is the lack of performance patch
Instead of making patches (like Team Ninja) the Team decided to use the money to start the next game.
It's a shady business practice even though Fromsoft is not that a bad company.

I mean that most people actually use consumable items they have in their inventory.

You have to adopt this as your moto.

>>376230497
The two "very hard" ones can literally be found by luck if you are lazy just don't check on the NPC's till the final time change to nightmare. Both will be prego and well shit, the game has only been foreboding birth for the entire game.

>>376230787
it's not as bad as Dark Souls 3 but still hiding an ending like that is bad. It's way better if they lock the ending using other methods such as hard difficulty or hiding an item in a level right before the final scene.

>>376229189
>27
It's fucking nothing

>>376230658
But there have been several patches, what the fuck are you talking about? I mean, the performance still isn't stellar, but you can't just lie and say they took the money and ran if we've had several patches since the game came out.

>>376230968
>hard difficulty in a game with no difficulty setting
...How are you playing on easy?

If From gave a nice discount on the guide I wouldn't complain but paying more than 30 bucks to be able to know how to get the ending is just a horrible design choice.

They didn't even bother to include a bundle with a guide.

>>376230968
>secret ending is secret
>WHY IS THIS SECRET SO SECRET
You do know there are two other endings for people who didn't find the cords, right?

>>376231213
I'm not saying they took the money and left the game but they could have released a much improved version. Last Guardian is the same situation, they fixed the game but still could have fixed a lot more.
Both Last Guardian and Bloodborne could have achieved 30fps stable if they hired a 3rd party company to look at the code.
Patch 1.08 and 1.09 don't improve anything it only fixes some items.

What did he mean by this?

>>376231237
It's just an example you retard.
>>376231370
Which makes the situation worse because you actually need a guide to know there are 3 endings. If they didn't include any ending by default it would be much better at least it shows they had a reason to hide the real ending.

>game has been foreboding birth
>"better eat these 3 umbilical cords then"

What kind of leap of logic is that? I swear soulsborne cucks are delusional as fuck, anybody who found and ate those umbilical cords and got the right ending because of it had absolutely no idea what they were doing and just got lucky. There is no hint that it's what you're supposed to do.

>>376230498
The lecture hall is a required progress point but killing Iosefka after Rom, finding the hidden workshop, or rescuing Arianna and then finding her bastard baby are not things all players would instantly know to do were it not for the internet.

>>376231825
Read the notes in the lecture hall, left by the developers. They tell you that you need three third cords. What the fuck else were you gonna do with them? Do you have no brain, did you not read notes?

>>376231957
By the time you see that note you could have already missed out on Iosefka and Arianna's cords.

to make things worse the publisher of Bloodborne guide used to sell for 60 bucks now it's 28

Anyway, if Fromsoft removes that kind of kikery in the next game I'll be happy to buy day 1 edition full price

Messages in the lecture hall, both found in the same room

>>376231870
>The game operates on shared knowledge
You didn't see the notes on the group for the workshop saying "Hidden/secret ahead!" The other two, yeah. Those are quest decisions. I never took any blood from Arianna and kept talking to npcs so I ended up getting her bastard kid, was kinda hard to miss the blood trail. Iosefka's is fucking obscure as shit and that is given, I explored that area in subsequent playthroughs and literally left when she asked so she could finish her research (I also sent every npc there for lols) went back and lo' and behold, 4th cord. It's not they they were expecting you to get the hidden ending on the 1st play-through. Which half these autistic fucks are whining about.

>>376231957
>note literally just says "the three cords"

Yeah they basically spell it out for you, you'd have to be retarded not to see that this means you must consume 3 hard to find items to unlock the true ending.

Said no one ever.

>>376229189
Dodge into the attacks, not away. Use gun to parry when enemies are in mid-swing, not when they are winding up.

You are now good at Bloodborne.

Including the person you responded to, the notes in the lecture hall are incredibly easy to find, they're either in or near the room you spawn in

>>376232513
Neither did I, would be nice is Fromsoft didn't think that

Roll towards the direction of the attack. That's it. You are now guaranteed success on every souls enemy.

>>376232571
OP here, I was getting to thinking that I'm just too old to be good at BB.

>>376232393
>"The three cords"
This>>376232407
Sounds like you just used a guide Anon, from the beginning.

I know it's probably incredibly disgusting to ask at this point but what weapons does anyone recommend I start with in the beginning?

>>376233163
Saw cleaver

>>376233163
I'd say the hunters axe 2handed

>>376229189

I've only gotten better at games as I've gotten older. No excuse faggot, just PRACTICE

>>376233163
Hunters Axe

Used it my whole time playing until I found the whirligig

>>376233163

Saw cleaver for the serrated damage boost and quickness. If you go with axe, the 2 handed L2 and charged R2 attacks are real killers. Spin2win.

>>376233163
If it's your first run, use a Strength build and use the Hunter's Axe. Most of the Strength-based weapons are good, so if you prefer another one, stick with that.

>>376233163

Keep in mind with the axe, it attacks fairly slow which can be a weak point in BB. Just keep your distance and use the 2h.

why am i getting a connection error has this thread been pruned?

it has to be near the end of summer or October halloween style.

You have to watch: Dagon, from beyond, the call of cthulhu 2005, possession and In the mouth of madness both featuring sam neil, dead of night 1945 (italian with english subtitles), the bay, and mad max fury road.

You need to eat fish tacos and if at all possible jerk of to tentacle content on /d/. Weigh less than 205 lbs make at least 60k annual. Have a tolerance for lactose and at least an hour a day to play some jolly co-op.

If you do these things you will get good at bloodbjorne. You may even find yourself becoming what the children refer to as "woke" just remember the old adage

>>376232407
>you can't miss Arianna's cord
If you never talked to her before the blood moon you cannot get her cord. If she gets killed by Adella or the afflicted beggar, you cannot get her cord.

>>376229189
27 years old is way past the prime age of gaming so never ever.

>>376232069
>ugh why is optional content not mandatory

that's you, that's your complaint

>>376237787
That's not me at all, I'm pointing out that it's absurd to act like everyone just automatically will find everything in Bloodborne on their first playthrough. I personally like that it rewards experimentation and exploration and was totally fine with the cord mechanic. I am simply stating that it's not nearly as obvious without a guide as someone on /v/ that played with a guide thinks.

>>376238154
>act like everyone just automatically will find everything in Bloodborne on their first playthrough
whoa it's almost like there are incentives for playing the game more than one time
it's almost like the game provides rewarding experiences for time invested in it
it's like we live in a time where people speed through games and then on to the next one in their back log of consumable disposable media

whoa no wonder bloodborne appears to be so amazing rising to the top of a sea of mediocrity.


>>376229189
OP if you are 28 don't buy any other games just exclusively play bloodborne for at least 150 hours.

>>376238578
>whoa it's almost like there are incentives for playing the game more than one time
>it's almost like the game provides rewarding experiences for time invested in it
Yeah, I know and I liked that about Bloodborne. Not sure why you're arguing with me for contradicting some idiot that thinks everyone just magically finds and kills all 17 bosses on their first playthrough.
