Bloodborne

I wish they kept the beta skybox.

>>381396068
A lot of things in the beta were better, just like how the beta of Dark Souls 2 looked absolutely incredible. It's bullshots of the new age. It's funny because normally when you see the "not indicative of final quality" disclaimer, that usually means that the final build is supposed to be better. I guess you can't trust anything anymore.

I don't understand why change it in the first place, it's not like it burdened the hardware more than the final one. All the buildings you see in the distance in Central Yharnam seem to be still affected by the blue lighting of the original sky, same goes for the entirety of Gascoigne's boss area.

>>381396507
Agreed.

As long as it is not on the PC it can't be considered a good game.

Is it so hard to believe that someone's favorite game is a console exclusive? Zelda for instance? Or Metroid prime?

A game with flaws and failings can still be your favorite. My favorite game was an original xbox game called phantom dust that had like a 15 hour start up before you got the good stuff.

>>381396647
>I don't understand why change it in the first place
I'm sure there had to be a good reason because the game looked undeniably better in every possible way in the beta. Obviously the beta wouldn't be very taxing since it covered such a small area of the game but apply that level of detail to the entire game and it very well could have been. On the other hand, maybe that wasn't the issue; maybe the development team bit off more than they could chew and making every part of the game look as good as the beta would have been too much so they purposely scaled everything back. We may never know but it's unfortunate that we ended up getting this. It would be interesting to get Bloodborne running on PC and build a mod that resembles the beta footage, similar to that super HD remaster of RE4 that one guy is doing.

How can the japanese make games like this? They dont even seem japanese, always knights and gothic shit (not japanese). Tbh i think someone like bethesda actually made these games.

i was hoping they'd fix the frame pacing before i got around to playing it, but I take it that's not a deal-breaker?

Literally the only people who say it's a bad game are people who've never played it.
I just got back into it after DaS III bored me, beat the Shadows and Paarl before Martyr Logarious btfo me
I'll do better in the morning

Was level 80 and tried invading fishing hamlet, frontier, mensis, and old yahrnam

>I take it that's not a deal-breaker?
It's not, people exagerate a lot when they talk about framerate issues.

>>381403052
sometimes you just can't connect because of server issues.
try port forwarding the PSN and bloodborne server TCP and UDP ports on your router to your PS4's local IP. Also you can try leaving your game on in online mode for a while (you can just play solo or leave it logged in in the main menu while you do something else). You can tell you are getting more connectivity because you start seeing more notes and specters and phantoms everywhere.

I can never find anyone for a while when I first turn on my modem / router and my PS4 is using an IP address it wasn't using last time it was played. But when it's working right I will find someone within like 25 seconds of ringing my bell every time

bullshit memes and console wars aside,

any actual chance of this ever coming to PC?

What confuses my brain is that at the time this was being developed there was a pre alpha trailer for some game that looked like it could be bloodborne with some blue hair woman in an elevator. /v/ shit posted the fuck out of it because the placeholder music, but now I can't find it and I am feeling a bit like a madman.

>>381403052
It's pretty dead unless you seek out activity at one of the meta levels, which sucks because invasions are the only reason I use online features in Souls games.

There should be a "Dark Souls is my favorite" starter pack since Demon's Souls was so much better.

>>381403906
everything from level 43 - 120 is a good meta for pvp and coop. Go any higher and you are limiting yourself to only the most difficult areas. Low level players summon frequently because they often need help getting through areas (often so they can make a twink), and when they summon that means bell maidens spawn and pvp becomes available in their world.

>>381404094
Most people who prefer BB as their favorite Souls game jumped on the Souls bandwagon thanks to BB (their first Souls game was BB), even though DkS1 is objectively the best Souls game.

I'm about to fight Mergo on this playthrough. Don't quite understand how chalice dungeons work. I assume I have to get chalices and activate them in hunter's dream on those stones?

>>381405796
It's pretty amazing how many optional areas there are compared to mandatory ones. You're bound to find a good number of optional areas on your own, but still find a few after you look stuff up.

Activate those stones in the hunters dreams to warp to a chalice dungeon. You need the required materials for each one, which are gotten by doing more chalice dungeons.

I spoiled the fuck out of Bloodborne because I was 99.99 percent sure that I'm not going to purchase the console for one game. Everything I heard about the game, though, made me so interested in it so I had to look up playthroughs/read wiki articles on different things. I was a huge DeS stan, and people kept telling me that this game is literally the same thing in terms of atmosphere/gritiness/hopelessness etc., but now with Cthulhu/Dracula inspiration!!!

Guess what happened earlier this year in January. I still really enjoyed it though, but I'm pretty sure that this could be The Game for me, if I hadn't already knew like half of what's about to happen. Woe is me.

>Hold up your shield and strafe: The game

Every Souls game is casualized baby-shit compared to Ninja Gaiden Black.

>>381397674
What other games have anime-dodging like this? It always looks so tight, like you just barely escape by the skin of your teeth. Most of the time, the enemy attack doesn't even clip through you (even though the game is just using iframes) because the dodge animation is slightly different depending on what you're dodging / how close it was to hitting you.

>>381406270
I really love how they made progression in bloodborne. Cant tackle the boss? Go into another optional area and come back stronger. Because of that game world feels huge. I dont care what anyone says about shortcut galore, this is the best level design in any souls game. Ds3 feels so fucking cheap and linear in comparison

I and countless others started with Demon's Souls and still think Bloodborne is the best.
Fuck off faggot
Bloodborne has 3 of the best boss fights in the entire fucking series and it's not even god damn close
Gehrman, Ludwig, and Orphan are better than any boss in any other game and it's due to their fighting style, the stages you fight them in, and the songs. They're all perfect.

exactly how I feel, I'm amazed by all the optional content, and it's not cheaply done either. The cainhurst castle was beautiful. I've played all the souls games, bloodborne and demon's really lead me to believe that HUB based design is much better than open-world/interconnected world. Which I'd say dark souls 1 pulled off very well, but I really like HUB more.

>>381406659
I went out of my way to get the GOTY edition. They don't even sell it in stores in the US. I had to buy an imported version online, it has Arabic text on the front. I visited the DLC for a little, but left, I'm too underleveled. I found the blast hammer or whatever and dipped. The hunters in that area are some real fuckers.

>>381407249
I always see this fight praised, is it part of the DLC?

Its in the DLC, yeah. Honestly you should leave before you are spoiled. Head back to the Nightmare once you're around bl50 or so and try to explore more.

>>381407341
I started to get real good with evading in Dark Souls 2. Never used a shield. Just wrecking shit with a Zweihander +10. I evade well in Bloodborne as well wrecking shit with a Ludwig Holy Blade +9 so far.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 I had hard time with evasion even if I time shit right. Guess because invincibility frames and hit boxes being different.

>>381407503
Don't do the DLC until you're at least level 70, if this is your first time. The first boss is one of the hardest out of the whole game and might have you farming for vials if you don't learn his patterns quickly.

All your telling me is you have never actually played NGB, let alone tried to play it on the higher difficulties, typical fucking Dark Souls kiddie who thinks he's hot shit because he played a niche game.

Oh I'm sorry I wasn't aware dodging in Dark Souls or any Souls game required more than the fucking O button.

>>381409320
It's also Latin for Almond, which they considered the tonsils to be the size and shape of. There's also the Tonsil stone in game which represents their heads. Which also look like an almond shell/more so a peanut shell. The part of the brain that controls fear is about the size of an almond, so they named it Amygdala.

So yeah, it's pretty clear what they were going for.
