>>384754063
It's not terrible as far as most healing systems go, it's just vastly inferior to the estus system

Dragon's Dogma

The very first Neptunia game.

Potions as a usable item didn't exist, what you did was research in potions which gave you a skill that made it so that you had a CHANCE of using a potion when low on health. You couldn't manually heal yourself.

>inb4 cant /thread your own post
but you can't.

>>384756731
They're not bad. You press triangle to use, and you near insta-heal a portion of health. You can carry 20 max initially from the start of the game, which is almost always more than enough during a run.

>>384754063
Dark souls 3's lightning fast and game breaking estus flask

>>384756731
They're really fast and heal you for a little. You can hold up to 20, but you stockpile a finite amount. I can't remember what the cap is.

The issue is that, especially on a first playthrough, you can run out and then you have to farm them. Their price at the game's shop increases the further you get into the game and there isn't really an efficient way to farm them since they're a somewhat random drop.

If you die a bunch to a boss and run out, you end up having to farm the first level a few times to build your stock back up.

It's just kind of pointless and pace-breaking.

Earthbound has a pretty weird healing system.

Namely with food items and spices. Hamburger heals for 30 HP, but with a packet of ketchup, heals for 60. But the catch, it takes two slots to get the full effect.

>>384756731
The most glaring issues with it is that it's a consumable that you can only carry 20 of on you and the rest go to a bank. If you die and respawn, you get topped off to 20 vials, assuming you have some in your bank, but smashing your head against a boss would often make you run out of vials and force you to farm.

Also a secondary problem is that it was % based healing, so upping VIT was super good.

>>384756731
nothing.
OP is just an idiot. He's probably mad that they are consumable items of a limited quantity rather than something you just get infinite of.

>>384756731
bad people have their supply run dry even though the game throws them at you and you can buy them for relatively cheap.

It makes the game way too easy, you can hold a metric fuckton of them, practically every enemy drops at least one, and they are almost instantaneous uses.

>>384754063
Demon's Souls had an infinitely worse healing system, for fucks sake you could resurrect yourself with one cast of a spell that took one second of animation.

You could heal yourself to full HP with one consumable of which you could have many.

BB may suck in the difficulty department but it doesn't have anything on grass munchers from the Nexus.

>>384757286
Try to pull the enemies one at a time. Play cautiously and explore as much as possible. When in doubt, dodge. Don't forget to lock on. If you shoot an enemy at the correct time during their wind-up animation you can stun them and then go in and attack for massive damage. Things get a bit easier once you find your first real armor set.

>>384757524
Go into pole axe mode. Hold R2. Win the game.

The games are something you just get used to. The hardest thing about them is getting used to how slowly you recover from attacks and how odd enemy timings can be. Everything else is abusing i-frames on your dodge and not getting greedy when you attack. Bloodborne doesn't even really have meaningful stamina management or blocking, so it's even more about dodging through stuff.

Use lock-on. Always dodge into attacks. Be aggressive because you can rally your health back. Shoot people as they're about to attack. Then just keep trying over and over.

>>384758138

Haven't bought the DLC, he seems to be the toughest fight in the entire game.

>>384754063

estus is worse, because it's not even a healing system, it's an extended healthbar

dark souls has super slow combat with checkpoints everywhere because, outside the 1-2 divine blessings, the game doesn't actually have any healing items. you cannot actually heal in dark souls. if you take damage, that health is gone until you reach a bonfire.

dark souls is a completely different game than demon's souls or bloodborne because of this; because both of these games have actual healing methods with a non-finite supply, they can design the game completely differently with larger, less linear environments, and more aggressive enemies. something like the research lab, forbidden woods, or central yharnam would be janky as fuck with estus and have to be designed differently.

This game has better invincibility frames than the previous installments, not because its a LARGER frame of invulnerability, but because you don't roll, you step, and its executed much more quickly and more often.

You can carry 99 of 25%, 50%, and 75% recoveries which you can pause to use. I recommend anybody who is planning on playing the game sell every healing item and only use auto-heal and deadly heal for their healing needs.

you mean the ultra-valuable item that is a borderline finite resource, that punishes you for using it that way, and only acts as a healing item in the first of three games?

you had to farm for HOURS in mid-late game areas, with drop-rate boosting items equipped, to have an amount of humanity that you would feel even remotely comfortable using, and even then it was only used for PVP.

>>384758068
This is some of the most pleb-tier advice for BB I've ever read. You should use lock-on selectively based on the situation, and you should dodge in specific directions depending on your surroundings and the nature of the attack(s) that you are dodging. Dodging backwards or sideways allows you to lunge-attack the distance of your dodge towards the enemy if you hit R1 right after. When you dodge forwards, you are stuck with your feet planted wherever the dodge takes you.

The only things you said that are universally true are to not get greedy and to keep trying. All your other advice is completely situational, including whether you should try to parry every attack

Just because you're a hoarder doesn't mean they're not in the game.

You get tons of them just by playing the game normally and popping them off only after using up your estus.
They also retain almost all their value as long as you don't die without picking up your bloodstain.

>>384758424
It's been this way since Demon's Souls, where properly upgrading a weapon required an internet connection and World Tendency made secrets even less likely to be discovered. If anything, Bloodborne is probably the least cryptic of the bunch. I enjoy replaying (most) of these games, so I don't mind discovering things on a later playthrough.

if you need to pre-plan a multi-hour farming route using online guides it is pretty clear that it wasn't factored into the gameplay and world design, and they clearly didn't like how people were using it that way because they straight up removed the functionality in later games. humanity is not a reliable healing item and I don't know anyone who even used it as one more than once or twice in the main game because it's essentially wasting the primary benefits of it.

So? If anything, him being so tough proves that the dodging is *not* slow

The enemy movesets are designed to punish players who just mash the dodge button whenever they get hit. That's called "panic dodging." Look at Ludwig in this webm, for example. His killing chop is timed to perfectly catch the player with massive counter-damage (140% normal damage) if the player dodges as soon as possible after getting hit by Ludwig's previous attack. You have to wait until just before his sword comes down to press the dodge button if you want to survive - not mash it while you are still flinching from the last attack.

I'm not familiar with whatever game that is but it can't be as bad as WoW clone healing systems.

Or you could have just backed up your save beforehand and just replaced the current save with the backup after getting one of the endings.

Bloodvials would have been perfect if they just auto restocked like Estus but capped out at 10 or 15 with upgrades.

Moongrass is objectively worse because they dont even restock from your stockpile automatically.

>>384760414
that doesnt count
and why even do that when you could do 3 different builds to have fun with?

they do, as long as you have enough stockpiled in storage.

>>384759202
>>384759132
I think its a level 100 skill and bloodtinge build, I played fashion souls didn't care about defense because the rest of the base game got so easy after the first few bosses.

I use the cane and the shotgun spear which is why I have the bloodtinge so highly leveled, like 35+

>>384759132
>barely hurt the bosses with a level 90 hunter with 10+ lvl weapons.
no, you can do quite a bit of dmg to the dlc bosses at lvl 90. you either were used to not getting punished for mistakes and/or were using a poor skl build and not making the most of enemy openings.
did my first run through old hunters at 85 with the cane and kind of wonky stats, so I should know.

>>384760648
So not like Estus

>>384761049
>auto restock
blood vials do this. use better wording next time.

>>384754063
It really is a shame that Fromsoft never went back to the Dark Souls 1 system. Upgrading checkpoints using a limited resource to increase the amount of heals you got was neat. I cannot believe how badly Dark Souls 2 handled estus and life gems, and how Dark Souls 3 retained the permanent heal amount increase.

>>384761173
Not gonna lie, I was thinking of a term to distinguish how estus restocks versus bloodviles. But when I brought up moongrass I thought it'd be clear enough, compadré.

In practice it was far from limited, yeah. I understand why multiplayer gave it away because it allowed for continued online interactions, but they could've had a different resource tied to online play. My first run of Dark Souls 1 was my favorite because I didn't have Xbox Live gold and I also didn't know about farming rats so humanity was incredibly precious.

>>384761979
PvE =/= PvP

>>384761704

Because it is a limited resource? Humanity is rare as fuck unless you go out of your way to farm it, and the heal is a secondary effect of it's primary worth as an illiquid asset for removing hollowing and upgrading bonfires. Players werent expected to have stacks of them, it was a design mistake, which is why they no long heal in DaS2 and 3

>>384758547

Assuming you want to kindle a bonfire once all you ever needed to do if you had 1 humanity was burn it and do a bit of co-op. I wouldn't consider like 2-3 runs of co-op going out of your way to farm it.

No point in doing different builds when you can cap all skills and give yourself broken blood gems via save editing.

>>384762079
>limited

it's not limited.
also you get a lot throughout your playthrough when you're first clearing areas, and through planted item locations. you get humanity basically for free for online play. even offline throw on some item discovery rings and kill rats that are ~5 enemies from firelink shrine. it doesn't even take that long, although it is tedious. but then again if you're complaining about it being tedious then you shouldn't waste the ones they give you early on.

Only using humanity to remove hollowing/upgrading bonfires is more wasteful than using it to heal, because you miss out on defense boosts, chaos weapon damage boosts, item discovery, etc

>>384762753
Their health is bloated and they hit like a truck. They're simple, but it's easy to get cocky or worn down and fuck up. Maria, on the other hand, is made to be bullied.

>>384762531
I would say farming rats is most certainly going out of your way to farm it. Most areas you won't get all the soft humanity unless you're REALLY bad. Doing a few bouts of co-op doesn't really take much time, and you used to be able to throw your sign down on the bonfire you want to kindle and get summons. I dunno how alive the co-op scene is nowadays though.

>>384754063
i really dont understand why people bitch about blood vials so much. im not going to tell you its a great system or claim that bloodborne is the best game ever so everything in it is perfect, but i finished the whole game with dlc and i only had to go farm for vials like three or four times. you can also just sell weapons you dont want to use and buy blood vials.

is it because people think this game is super hard? it really isnt. its challenging, but its not unfair or super difficult.

farming anything is going out of your way. it's essentially inherent to farming as a whole. doesn't make it a finite resource like a lot of people want to make it out to be.

also if you get one humanity hard or soft they can essentially build off of each other. both in pve and pvp.

Humanity was MEANT to be a rare and functionally limited resource, the game was not balanced around humanity as a healing item. Just because something is possible doesnt mean it was intentional or that the gameplay was built around it. It's like smash brothers and wavedashing, but far less obnoxious.

Humanity as a healing item was only meant for multiplayer and as a main-game resource sacrifice. In 90% of cases that is how it is used. The gameplay was not built around thealing as a resource like how DeS and BB were built around it.

>>384757363

Why the fuck would you need to use retarded hyperbole like that if you had any kind of point?
You can carry 20 and if you sacrifice all of your rune slots for late game +vials runes you can carry 32 and that's it.

happy to help, amigo. good hunting.

yeah but im a dark souls person. i actually think dark souls is much harder than bloodborne. you dont have to think/wait so much in bloodborne. no one has shields. you can just hack away and then dodge when need be. and the weapon buffs are massive in bb. just find what the enemy is weak to. is he gooey and slimy or insect like? use lightning. is he a furry fag or a human? use fire. win.

maybe other souls fags die more than i do. i dunno. i liked bloodborne's atmosphere and lore much more than the swords and sorcery stuff in souls games, but i thought it was much, much, easier.

>I beat all the dlc bosses on my first try save for most of them

Quality statement there friend.

>>384763574
>rare
yes
>limited
no
the rest I agree with.

>>384763730

Chances are dark souls is harder for you because you play it without a shield and try to dodge everything which the game wasnt designed for. Using a shield makes dark souls absurdly easy.

>>384763627
Jesus you monster.

>>384763907
nah. in ds3 i used a herald for maximum murder. just block everything and stab away with halberd/spear. go for parries in other ds games. i didnt mean to imply that i think ds is hard, just that bb is easier. i dont think ds is terribly diffcult, but it's harder than bb. what was that secret boss in ds2? the underground thing that casts a double of itself and wears a white robe. dark stalker or something. that boss was way tougher than anything in bb.

be a fag, you know what I meant.

Dark Souls III was worse.
They made Estus way too fast to use, but then have no punish it like they had in Bloodborne.

>>384754063
You have the rally system to regain health and the game's lack of useful shields already encourages players to play aggressively. Literally git gud.

>>384754063
The fallout 3 and the new Zelda (from what I've seen, havent played) have a pretty shitty healing system.

You just freeze time with the pipboy (there's an AP penalty in the originals, but none in the newer ones) and stick yourself with plentiful stimpacks.

Thank god NV and 4 made them heal over time.

I was able to figure things out myself when I first played it, so through processing on what's effective and what's not will lead you to learn how to play the game. But if you want some advice.

Look out for shortcuts to make travelling through out the level easier.
Practice parrying the brick trolls and taller hunters to practice your parrying and make fighting them easier.
When you have seen the Cleric Beast or have found a madman's knowledge and used said item, you can now level up by using blood echoes, if you go back to the Hunter's Dream.
When fighting the Cleric Beast focus on literally smacking his ass.
Try to find the Saw Spear in the sewers. It's a great all around weapon for beginners.

Did you notice you receive blood vials from female NPCs only?

>>384759971
you meant to say, not to bust a nut early and abuse the invincible frames as much as possible

>>384756731

If you're bad at the game and/or hit a steep difficulty spike, you have to farm them instead of actually learning the boss's behavior and patterns.

If you're good at the game, you get to steamroll everything by having a gorillion vials on top of rally healing, extra vial drops, and runes like Blood Rapture or Communion.

FROM realized how fucking retarded this was, so they put in an enemy that drops 5 vials for free before Ludwig for the DLC, so the experience isn't as miserable.

>>384758424
Do you not read fucking item descriptions?

>>384768370
How does it qualify as "abuse"? iframes are a legitimately great game mechanic. Most people have serious trouble getting the timing down in the heat of the moment, when the enemy is relentless and they know they''ll die if they fuck up at all

Best representation of potion

Basically Gehrman will be the final boss, the beast scourge was created due to school of mensis trying to summon the red moon closer so they could ascend to be ayylmaos, "reality" in the game is layered dreams and nightmares.

In his second phase Ludwig the rape horse will unzip a giant moonlight greatsword accompanied by a cool cutscene. That's about all you need to know.

>>384769742
Was that really a potion though? Seemed more like she cast magic upon some water.

>>384755769
>healing system basically encrouges players to engage with the mobs
>the healing is so slow you have to time it right

No, you are dumb

>>384758849
I just finished nier automata and the healing system actually ruined the combat for me cause you either die in one hit or not at all

It doesnt even chastise you for using them like in other action games

>>384769742
Fuck that was such a cool trailer. Whatever happened to it? Was it a one off or was there a real project?

>>384761770
healing is ez mode in 3, you retard

>>384772603
He's referring to enemies extra-aggroing when you heal

>>384763595
Dark Souls doesn't really count. Manatees are ridiculously slow to use and you can't farm the rest.
Again proving that it is the best Soulsborne.
