Bloodborne would be at the top of my "Fromsoft game" list if not for the paid online of the PS4. it really kills the game and it's longevity for me.

Though honestly, part of the issue is compared to DaS1 or 2, Bloodborne really feels like it is severely lacking in customizability. And while the DLC may have solved it's lack of weapons, they are still all locked behind endgame content. Which means if you want a particular weapon, you can't actually run the game with it unless you are a madman and rush the DLC at low level as soon as you beat cathedral ward. Bloodborne's variety problems tend to stem more from most of the interesting stuff being endgame content.

I just beat the reborn one ( im pretty sure i didnt miss any optional bosses before him, on my first playthrough so idk) and the whole game so far takes like 10 minutes per area and 2-3 tries per boss. The only hard things are the npc hunters whose guns are fucking BORKEd and have crazy amounts of health.

When does this game get hard?

horsecock valley is hard for entirely different reasons

DLC is just extremely tough with super tough enemies and challenging level design and bosses.

Horsecock valley is literally you getting lost in a blizzard for 5 hours with infinitely spawning ice reindeer that shoot lightning and hit like a truck.

Got to borrow a PS4 from a buddy and finally play it a couple weeks ago.
Great game, but totally overrated. I'd put it right in the middle of the Souls series. Not worth buying a console for, but definitely worth $60. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if they ever came out with a PC version, since many of the problems with the game were due to the PS4.

Yes, the two replies I got were

>HMLS is trash

I seek more diverse opinions, clearly
>>
>>379084347
So you expect everyone to fight the same bosses alone over and over on their fifth or sixth characters to farm for gems because if not they're casul?
>>
>>379084441
I would go with Str/Arc and HMLS because you'll also get tools and frankly I find Arcane more fun. The response calling the weapon trash was from some Vileblood filfth anyway. The farming won't be any worse than anything else really.

How do you find 30% gems in the dungeons? Is it in a specific dungeon?

I tried. But then I got stuck at chalice Rom, (Rom will never NOT give me trouble) and figured it just wasnt worth it for more bell maiden spiders clipping through doors. and in the end, I dont really pvp that much in bloodborne, so I dont really NEED chalice blood gems either.

that said lets not pretend they aren't shit. they were a cool concept but awful in execution. They just aren't fun, which is, yknow, what I play the game for. Co-op makes it slightly more bearable, but that doesnt make them fun. they are a chore for an optional area

After playing (almost) every game in the soulsborne series I can safely say
3 > BB > 1 > 2
Three is the most complete game, without any obviously unfinished content.

Bloodborne is really held back by Chalice Dungeons instead of of actually interesting content, and Gems are really dumb because they make you swing between overpowered for most of the game ( I only ever play NG, so I don't know if this is true for NG+ and beyond ). I literally beat the game and was thinging 'that's it?' because I didn't feel like I had even played it that long, nor was Murgos Wet Nurse an obvious climax. Did I mention how terrible Chalice Dungeons are? And you have to do it with every. single. character.

One has an entire rushed second half, retards who think One is the best are only rating it based on nostalgia

Two is just a clusterfuck of annoying design decisions. You can't play it like any other souls game, it should have been a different IP entirely maybe then in it's sequels it could become polished.

It's not a suggestion. BB just simply is not a 'Souls' game. You can compare it all you want, nobody is stopping you doing so.

It should be said that BB is a stark contrast to actual Souls games in both gameplay- and setting-wise, so there is little merit in trying to group them together.

From the things we can actually measure objectively, like graphics and ease of control, yes, Ds3 is indisputably the best. Personally, I prefer the combat speed and world of Ds1. Ds3 got a little excited with their anime weapons, and if you like that, that's fine. I'm just partial to more basic stuff.

The combat of BB isn't THAT different from souls. It's an entire game built around a dodge heavy playstyle from souls. It's very well polished and modified to be it's own thing, and obviously BB is not a souls game, but they have enough in common for them to be talked about at the same time, ESPECIALLY seeing as they were designed by the same company

I touched the PvP. With main-game, offline gems. If you know how to play, it's possible to compete. But it's not very enjoyable. A lot of on-the-fly gear switching to gear more geared towards countering this speficic set of gear your opponent has. English is fun. Gear.

Oh, obviously, however there are major differences in gameplay between BB and the rest of the games, such as firearms, rally, trick weapons, blood gems, the list goes on.
I have no issue with people comparing the games, I just think it's important to differentiate between Souls games and Soulsborne.

Yeah the second half of BB is as bad as all of DS3, what I like to do is just go into DLC after Amelia and restart the game after Kos/Laurence.

Cleric Beast -> Papa G -> Sell Gasgcoine's outfit for Cathedral Key -> Amelia -> Shards/Twinshards/Chunks -> +9 -> Ludwig -> Failures/Maria -> +10 -> Kos -> Laurence -> Restart

Other folk have said that Eileen's statement of "fear is what separates us from the beasts" or whatever is important b/c the guidance from the sword made Ludwig fearless on hunts, letting him get really into it.

The beast scourge is what destroyed his mind and body. His sword was a magical, arcane weapon he discovered a long time ago which he used to smite beats as he led the common people of Yharnam against the beast scourge.

Its blade is inhabited by tiny beings of light that transform the sword into its Holy Moonlight form when its wielder is in great danger or is hurt or scared during battle. 50% of the way through the fight, after sustaining great damage, Ludwig collapses to the ground and the Holy Moonlight Sword appears before him like it used to during the hunt. Seeing this reawakened Ludwig's human consciousness and reminded him of himself as a hunter, and so he gets up and finishes the fight with his old trusty blade.

The line "you were at my side, all along" refers to the fact that even though his church hunters, comrades, friends, family, and even his own human self are lost to him now, the one thing that never left him through it all was his sword.

Sources: Descriptions for the blade and the guidance rune, along with other Ludwig-related items and weapons in the game.

I'm a subscriber to the theory that those who try the hardest to suppress the scourge succumb to it in the most dramatic ways. The high ranking members of the church like Laurence and Amelia are good examples of this. I think Ludwig was so devoted to the eradication of the beasts that he, through sheer force of will, suppressed the scourge inside of him for longer than anyone ever had. When it got to the point that it could no longer be contained, it transformed him into an unparalleled monstrosity the likes of which have never been seen.

I've also heard that vicars and important people may have had access to more refined blood, since I doubt that they found so much in the chalices or that every vial in the game came from Ebrietas. Something like stabbing someone up with the good stuff and using them as a source for more, but progressively worse down the chain. And I do like to believe that insight had something to do with Ludwig; that second mouth full of eyes isn't something typical to even the big beasts

Fight clubs and random duels are alright I guess, but all the best pvp action happens at twink levels, where no one is following any silly duelist rules. I'm talking about unbalanced, dirty fights where you can heal and where the invader uses the enemies / environment to his adantage.

Just make a super-gemmed up twink that can take out your average beckoner and his two cooperators out all by himself. At those low levels, you sometimes start seeing anti-twinks who bluff as weak cooperators, just to hunt and kill over-gemmed invader twinks like you. Or you can become one of these anti-twink cooperators yourself.

Everyone is ganking in groups of two or three and worrying about super twinks coming to invade, but many don't have the gems to do damage because it's so hard to get them at that level. It happens all over the game, in almost all areas from Hemwick to the Fishing Hamlet. The desperation and intensity you feel during those 2v1 or 3v1 fights make for some of the most exhilarating moments you can have in BB. A lot of people have no idea there is this much activity in BB area coop (outside the SRRC), because at higher levels people seem to only summon for the bosses or odd password-only sessions.

Unfortunately, you have to *make* a twink to compete, and that is hard as fuck. Usually requires help from some friends (unless you are good enough to farm gems from depth 5 cursed dungeons at level 50-60 by yourself). But you get out of it what you put into it.

Basically, the game is much more fun if you try to stay really low level (doing your damage through your gems) all the way through the game, and summon your low level twink friends help you do it while constantly battling invaders along the way

They're just trying to fit-in in the community since DeS is considered the BEST and PERFECT Souls game and HOW DARE YOU insult it or say it's not perfect Same goes to people who say DSII is bad.. I played all Souls games and I'd rank DeS as the lowest, worst souls game. I have mixed feelings about DS1 since the first half is great, but the rest of the game feels rushed and awful. Dark Souls 2 "after the patches and DLCs" is better than DeS and DS1, it even hasoriginal and new ideas when compared to DS3

Honestly, I love it. In my experience it seems to be some anomaly in the game. Like, you'd imagine basically a wrist mounted knife to have disadvantages in BB, right?? But on so many bosses that seem to divide the population of people who played the game (namely Amelia and Rom for example) I thought were a breeze. Perhaps it was because I rode their asses to compensate for the short reach and most attacks form the were focused, I don't know.

At the end of the day, the weapon was my girl and I don't understand the lack of attention it gets.

>>
>>379088492
2 isn't even complete, the final build was made in 6 months from scraps of a previous build because Namco thought it was too different to the first game. The reason it makes no sense is because they had very little time to rewrite the lore to fit the new rushed layout. The four Great Souls only happened because they needed an explanation as for why those routes ended on that particular boss; for example The Rotten wasn't the reincarnation of Niro or whatever but just an artificial guardian of the entrance to Shulva, which was also cut then reimagined for the DLC. The original plot was always just the Crowns plus the Shards of Manus but Namco didn't like it so what we got was CYCLES LMAO and a game even more cycled in development than DaS1. DaS3 was clearly rushed too but we don't know to what extent since they've been super hush on that one.

Is Bloodborne kino or ludo?

Here's why I believe it has both elements despite being more akin to more ludoscrophic works (ludo). First we must differentiate the two as well as drawing comparisons between them to a more recognisable standard (flick).

Flick - Something that doesn't require much thought. It's easily deciphered, consumed and processed.

Kino - Something that has many objectively thought provoking qualities as well as shrouds of abstract filler layered amongst it all. Think, the Mona Lisa.

Ludo - Something that has no objectively superior qualities yet it still resonates with the deepest confines of our soul. You can almost smell and taste the reciprocation of artistry seeping from the inner workings of the title. Think, Rembrandt – Self-Portrait with Two Circles

Bloodborne's kino details come moreso from the layering of each shots. The religious imagery as well as the thought provoking color work. The ludosphere comes from how it is all intertwined.

Everything from the Cleric beasts howls to the shrieks and moans of the locals "Away, Away!". It all invokes feelings so profound that many seem to make the amateurish mistake of thinking it's more kino when the reality is that it's more ludo.

The doll for instance, is a clear example of ludo. While clear, it's still not objective (as that goes against the very definition of ludo). It just is. The way the doll speaks, the voice, the tone, the chocolatey sound of it all. Even the wording of "The doll" makes the viewer sub consciously think of life altering questions, "Why are we here?".

Pure ludoscropy, it's happening before our eyes yet many of us don't really notice it.

Eh, the non-gameplay parts of Ludwig are significantly more exciting than Orphans and I like his gameplay better too. I recently did a playthrough with base vitality and enjoyed beating Ludwig much more than Orphan despite them both taking a while(Maria took the longest surprisingly though). Orphan feels like he's designed with the expectation of you getting hit and then getting it back often while rushing to take him down, while Ludwig is just about learning his attacks properly and punishing them. One of these is way more fun to attempt at base health, even if he CAN one shot you.

Orphan also has more shitboxes than he has any right to, especially since Ludwig's are basically perfect.

I honestly think BB is has one of the worst character creator implementations in years. Not that there's anything wrong with the creator itself, but because the game uses certain shaders for in-game and it completely leaves them out of the creator. So more often than not your character will look way different in-game than in the creator.

Orphan's crying sounds like Gehrman's because Orphan is the nightmarish manifestation of Gehrman's guilt over his role in the brutalizing of the fishing hamlet.

Anyways rate my digital avatar. I tried really hard to get her to look like me, but I fucked it up pretty bad, couldn't even get the neckbeard or double-chin to show up at all.
>>
>>379136228
Nice female you.
>>
>>379130569
Orphan is easy, you just dodge / stay out of range of his tantruming combos, waiting for him to exhaust himself of his stamina, and carefully hit him a couple times before dodging away from his counterattack slap. There's no reason to get into his range while he's still swinging unless you want to trade blows and rally

>>379093394
Don't dodge right, dodge into him. Slash him one or two times and back away before he does his turnaround move.
If he is doing a huge AOE hurricane smash just stay out of range until he resumes normal attacks

Speak for yourself. He's one of the top 3 hardest bosses in the base game. For me, the only one harder was Paarl at low level

Not that guy, but I guess it's just personal differences. I thought Wet Nurse was one of the easiest bosses in the game. I've never had a run where it took more than 3-4 tries to beat him, but again I guess that's just me.

We're talking about Gehrman. First time I played the game, he kicked my ass so much I went back and levelled up like 15 levels. When I got back to him it was like nothing had changed; he still pushed my shit in. As an end-boss to fight solo, he is the perfect difficulty for your average player.

Just got a PS4 yesterday and decided to get this because it comes from a bundle. How do this game work? I just reached my first lamp post (it transports you to hunter's dream or something?) and then I stopped there because I'm still finishing Horizon Zero Dawn. Any notes that I should take down before I continue the game?
>>
>>379138106
Lamps are checkpoints, you respawn at them and can go back to the Hunter's Dream to level up and upgrade your weapons. You should really just play and figure the game out for yourself, that's half of the fun of the series. Don't give up just because something gets frustrating, just learn from how you messed up and keep trying.

Good luck.
>>
>>379138093

Oh sorry, didn't follow the comment chain back. Gehrman is a bitch for me - I know some people think he's super easy, but I've never been able to do it. Personally I'd put him in the top 3 hardest of the game. While bosses like Gascoigne were super hard at first, the more I played through the game the easier they became. Gehrman never really seemed to get easier for me, still a huge pain in the ass.
>>
>>379138106

The one piece of info I think most new players should really have is that you can't start leveling up until you've seen the first boss (or gain 1 insight, but don't worry about that right now). Essentially, you won't be able to spend your blood echoes to level up in The Hunters Dream until you've seen the boss (just fight him once, win or lose it doesn't matter). After that, you can use the lamp to go back to The Hunter's Dream and spend your blood echoes at The Doll at the bottom of the stairs to level up.
>>
>>379138106
If you're still getting used to the controls, go into the PS4 settings menu and go to Accessibility options. Make a configuration where the circle button funcionality is swapped with the L1 button functionality. This allows you to dodge/roll/sprint without ever having to take your thumb off the camera stick, so you always have camera control. It is so much better to have L1 be dodge instead of circle.

I found Bloodborne's usage of imagery to be really sublime. It's by far my favorite video game from the perspective of theme and tone. It's hard for me to say if this is because the game objectively did a really good job with this stuff, or if it was just because I was sort of "primed" for some of its imagery.

A few years before Bloodborne came out, I briefly got into some slightly /x/-ey stuff. Some meditation stuff and tarot, so nothing too wild. But in these things, I encountered some imagery and metaphors that I'd later see in Bloodborne, particularly regarding bodies of water and the moon.

In one of my meditation sessions, I was walking on water, and then the water gave way and I fell beneath the surface. Somebody I spoke to about this mentioned that in some cultures and dream interpretations, water surfaces represents the divide between the conscious and the subconscious.

In tarot, the moon is one of the "Major Arcana" which basically means it's kind of a big deal among the cards. The card represents fears and anxieties, believing in illusions, and a guide through dark places.

When I played through Bloodborne, a lot of the game's imagery tapped into this so well, and it really enriched the game for me. Ludwig's story isn't sad just because he was a noble figure who became corrupted and must now be put down. Ludwig is a man who put his faith in a corrupt institution because he needed something to believe in while immersed in the incessant trauma of the hunt. He genuinely wanted to believe that the Healing Church was good.

Ludwig's 2nd phase cutscene, then, can act as a metaphor for his relationship to the Healing Church through the imagery of the moonlight sword. The church was his guide through the hunt, its virtue the illusion Ludwig believed in, because he needed an anchor to prevent him from completely losing his mind on the hunt. Which, of course, he eventually did before having some lucidity restored by seeing the moonlight sword.

This is an excellent use of metaphor, and not just "Oh, look, it's really clever, it's referencing the tarot!" It serves to lend an emotional weight that would otherwise be lacking, and to give depth to his character without heavy exposition.

Ludwig is just one example of this, albeit a particularly good one. I got so much out of this game because of its use of imagery like this to communicate ideas without having to spell it out, and it never felt like it was trying to be clever, or pull one over on you. It used its metaphors and symbolism to deliver substance with efficiency and emotion. And I'm not sure if the game is the magnum opus of genius, or if I'm just reading too much into it because I read about tarot on a website a few years ago.

I never had a problem with these guys, I just lured them up the stairs so I would fight them roughly 1 at a time.

The only hunters I died more than once or twice to were the rifle-spear/blunderbus hunter and the Crow of Cainhurst, who I didn't think was as hard as people made out given that you can drain a good chunk of their health through getting them to use the life-draining chikage thing.

I think it was great too anon, like the shadows of yharnam boss. The name has a dual meaning to it and I felt so blown away by something so simple. That and the contrasting but connected duality of blood and kin. I really feel like the game has a lot going on beneath the surface and yet, as always, a person with a strong enough will and enough strength can sweep away all the arcane and all the mystery and through sheer force of will can force reality to bend to their desires for better or worse. I think that's the ultimate end of bloodborne too. A new god being born that is born of the blood of humanity, of humanities will, and it imbued with our characteristics will lead mankind into a new age, one not tied down by ancient gods.

There are some like Ebrietas who for whatever reason may have been trying to help us, and perhaps there's more going on with the Kin and those like them than we see, but its clear mankind is likely going to breach that barrier into godhood and those who have made themselves an enemy of mankind are going to feel our wrath, everything else will be decided later, but first and foremost we will settle our scores.

I feel like there also comes a point in these games that you realize all the horrible shit that is happening and things like the survivors dying really can and do get to you and it hurts, but at the same time you have the sudden realization of how far you have come, and even though they may never know everything you did, you realize that you aren't going to stop until you get some kind of resolution, and you are going to carve your way through everything in your way until you are dead or you get some answers or you find somewhere that you can stop killing.

I wasn't too impressed barring ludwig and mi'lady.

The reoccurring invading hunter dude is a fucking pain in the ass on NG+, lol 1/4 of your health and he has a poise potion and infinite stamina.

You get the key to the dudes cell before you get to the area he starts invading, just go back to the church jail and kill him.

Oh fuckery doo, I've only done the DLC once, I didn't know you could put a stop to his antics.

That's nice to know.

It was a pain in the ass, but making it through all the chalices at bl43 for four different twinks (str, skl, blt and arc) was totally worth it. Constant invasions in the frontier.
