Few questions from a new guy.

Using LHB right now and thinking about focusing on strength but I hear most later and better weapons are skill based. Should I try and balance both for miracle blade or something later??

Is there any benefit in using all your madman knowledge and walking around with high insight? I hear you see all kinds of things and you can only lose a few points to those head suckers.
>>
>>140749603
To try and not spoil everything

Strength has some of the best weapons, including the Hunter's Axe and Whirligig Axe, which trivializes a lot of encounters. The Moonlight Greatsword is Strength/Arc. Both Whirligig and Moonlight are DLC weapons, but you can rush the Whirli whenever if you have the DLC. Strength is best for a first playthrough.

Insight really doesn't do much in the long run. It is mostly for currency. In fact, having too much in some areas is downright detrimental.
>>
>>140750029
Awesome, thanks. I'll stick to strength, this playstyle is working for me so far.

>In fact, having too much in some areas is downright detrimental.

Now I'm just excited. I'll see horrifying shit or flat out get attacked by things that I shouldnt see?

Again, I don't want to spoil it, and you shouldn't be in this thread anyway, playing blind is always the best, but let's just say it makes one area nearly impossible later on and makes one particular enemy suicide every time you face it. Spend that Insight!

Quick anons, what are some of your favourite underrated tracks from the OST

Hardmode: Explain why you like it
>>
>>140763945
God I hope not. I also hope they depart more from the soulslike formula on their new IP, they played it a little too safe in Bloodborne mechanically outside the combat.
>>
>>140763945
Calling it now: FromSoft is gonna make Armored Core in the Souls style they've developed
>>
>>140765453
Not sure if underrated but I like Laurence because it uses the Cleric Beast melody.

I also surprisingly like Living Failures, but I'm not sure why.

Maria's theme is the most overrated, come at me.
>>
>>140765453
Living Failures. I don't see their theme getting much love. Maybe it's because they're not a particularly fantastic bossfight, but the theme is fantastic.

It's very reminiscent of Gustav Holt's 'Mars, Bringer of War'. I like their theme because, like Mars, it's very grandiose, imposing, imperial, even. It lends a sense of importance to them and they are important - I believe them to be the very experiments in making Celestial Emissaries, appearance and ability-wise. But the Failures are much, much stronger and have many more abilities. What I think they were, instead of mediums, they were one way communication devices, as it were, with the cosmos. Floodgates for cosmic wonder, but really little else, except a step in the right direction for the Byrgenwerth, and later the Healing Church's experiments.

Compare the themes

The Research Hall belongs to the Healing Church though, it has nothing to do with Byrgenwerth.
>>
>>140765453
Amygdala. The similarities to Gehrman's theme or vice versa makes me think there's more to them than we know.
>>
>>140767659
I always figured that since Burgertown is behind the Hamlet then the Hall belonged to them, but fair enough. In the end, it's all Burgertown's fault.

Lullaby for Mergo (Mergo's Wet Nurse)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uKdU19drsw

I like how much of a contrast it is to basically any other fromsoft track, it sounds like it belongs in some horror themed puzzle game (hell, I swear I heard something extremely similar in Fran Bow) than as a track to what is potentially the final boss.
On top of that it's just very unsettling, a perfect fit for whatever the fuck the nurse is supposed to be.

Is TNK the Orphan of DS3?
>>
>>140771424
I didn't have much trouble with him. I don't know why everyone is hailing him as the hardest thing ever. Orphan is definitely harder.

He was just another dude in armor who's swings you had to dodge through. And he wasn't fast enough or aggressive enough to make doing that difficult.

>>140771424
In terms of being very hard bosses, yes.

In any other way, no, Nameless is a very precise boss that requires absolute pinpoint roll timing and knowing when he actually has an opening and when he's faking. Orphan is just a flailing fucker who flops around like a fish on crack.
>>
>>140771646
My opinion is the same and I'm a relatively bad player. Orphan took me forever to beat solo and I'm a better BB player than I am Souls player. Orphan's second form is petty unpredictable and crazy sometimes, but in contrast you can reliably bait certain attacks for Nameless King.

>>140771646
Orphan bad attacks and a move set that punished the hunter for doing what he should be doing. Delayed attacks that hit you through your dodge, righty as it ended it began, combos that were heavily telegraphed but have a long enough hit box to still hit you.

TNK is the same. He punishes the player for dodging too early or too late, no point in blocking him. First phase is easy. I'm just saying - they have similar styles that everything you've been through up until this point in the game means nothing to them.
A different genre of boss entirely.

There should be people in your range if you're looking for PvP. Somebody only has to be 100 to invade a 150.

Who is /bbg/'s favourite boss? Mine is moon presence because of the look of the boss, if not the difficulty.
>>
>>140794357
Moon presence is so easy that the fight suffers for it. All you have to do is relentlessly mash r1 the entire fight, hell the gane even pressures you into doing that because that one attacks where it drains your HP to 1 has an extended regain timer.
That aside Ludwig is my favorite in the whole series. One of the few times the camera cooperates with you when facing a large enemy. The music is great, the fight is great, the arena is great, the entire damn thing is spectacular.

Probably Living Failures

It changes midway through the fight from a imperial war theme to something beyond your imagination, it goes hand in hand with what's happening on the screen. The area is coated in a cosmic background as meteorites are conjured from the sky, the living Failures just hold up their arms, oblivious to you as they call forth the power of the cosmos, during all this the choir crescendos. It's the perfect representation of the cosmic element in the game.

About the same size, but feels smaller because of how linear it is. That's not say it doesn't have its share of exploration though, think of Demon's Souls with more hidden areas but less to do in each one.

Feels less disappointing than DaS2, so that's a thing.

Hey, anon who was asking about how BB is earlier.

Couple hours in and it's really fucking good.

Movement feels better, dodging isnt a 3 second long affair now, its bam, bam, teleports behind you, stab.

The health recovering on attacking is cool too, makes you keep fighting.

I'm really enjoying the exploration, taking a long ass path, winding and twisting and being almost dead to find out it opens a door back to the bonfire is a great feeling.

Currently fighting Father Gasgoine, I learned when to time the bullets to stun him and then he enabled axe mod. I learned the timing, he became a wolfman, I died.

Please tell me it stays this good.
>>
>>140852679
Also, whats the point in the Cleric Beast? Theres nothing behind him, he's just kind of there, chillin.
>>
>>140852679

Also, the scenery and architecture and level design gave me a massive stiffy
>>
>>140837509
Amygdalan arm is not as good as Rakuyo.
>>
>>140852846
Beating the Cleric Beast allows you to buy a New Weapon and a Key for what is pretty much a shortcut later.
>>
>>140852679
It literally stays this good, one of the areas where BB deserves praise is that there really isn't a noticeable drop in level quality ie game after Londo. And after you fight a certain boss, it takes the gloves off.

Cleric is an optional boss, spank him anyway. It gives you a bonfire that's really, really convenient for early game blood vial farming, as the wolves each drop 3 and the giant drops two.

If you haven't already, try and look around and find the crow now. Have fun!
>>

This might not help at all but.
The fight against The Cainhurst Crow is one of the only places where the Wodden Shield can be useful, as long as you use it to exclusively block his bullets.

Have shield ready when his weapon is untransformed and switch to whatever gun of your choosing when he coats it with blood (since he cant shoot).

You should be warned tho, Anon, the general will be filled with open discussion about every spoiler imaginable. And you really should play the game blind first go around.

>>140863846
There's a difference between "borrowing heavily" and using literally the exact same uniform.
>>
>>140863358
Mensis was not a part of Byrgenwerth. Mensis is specifically referred to as one of the "upper echelons of the Healing Church". Many of the high up Church officials like Laurence and Micolash were literally students at Byrgenwerth. So mico wears the uniform.

>>140864204
>Mensis is specifically referred to as one of the "upper echelons of the Healing Church"
Nope, that's the Choir, not Mensis.
Laurence was a Byrgenwerth student, but then he founded his own institution which is not affiliated with Byrgenwerth at all.
In fact, the Healing Church made Byrgenwerth forbidden ground.
>>
>>140864454
>The upper echelons of the Healing Church are formed by the School of Mensis, based in the Unseen Village, and the Choir occupying the Upper Cathedral Ward.

UCW key.
>>
>>140864405
That's an even worse difficulty spike down that way.
My suggestion is go left from the Cathedral enterance, clear the area down there.
Defeating the boss at Byrgenwerth will progress the game further, so I'd advise you not to do that until you clear other areas, like Hypogean Gaol, Forbidden Woods, Hemwick Charnel Lane, and Healing Church Workshop depths, not to mention explore the rest of regular Cathedral Ward, rooftops too.

I didn't know that after the giant spider it gets more difficult, just thought things looked different. I did the woods, ward, lane, and I think all of the workshop. Still have yet to go to the right of vicar's place (where you meet the two hunters not sure whats after them) and there's a door in old yharnam I think that I am unable to open.

Oh I've been there too. It sucked. But yeah, also forgot that I need to finish that area. Haven't beat the boss yet.

But if he already beat Rom, then he'll have upper Yahar'gul opened, and Blood Moon in effect.
He'll go through hell trying to access the shortcuts to go down to the lower lever for Paarl.
I don't know if he even did Eileen's questline.
>he still hasn't been to Nightmare Frontier
>>
>>140866846
No, I've yet to kill that thing.

So I've done the starting area, all of Ward, all of Lane, all of the Forest, part of Gaol, all of Workshop, Old Yharnam, and I'm likely forgetting some places. Killed BSB, Cleric, Shadows, Witches, Vicar, Djura if you count him, and everything in the first Chalice Dungeon. I just made it to Byrgenwerth and thought it'd be a good idea to go back and do other stuff before all hell breaks loose.

>>140866735
One of you told me to go left to the Forest and forget about that path to the right.
>>
>>140867248
All moot because he hasn't learn to read
>>
>>140867248
Haven't seen her quest or this Frontier. Don't even know where Paarl is (unless it's the lightning thing in Gaol in which case yes and fuck him).
>>
>>140867286
Your progression is normal except for hypogean gaol.
I'd say go finish gaol and then go to the right of the grand cathedral.
>>
>>140867517
I think I did all of it except for the boss very early in the game. Made it to just before where you pic up the new weapon and then died. Figured I'd get back to it later, was tough at the time and really scary yeah there I said it I was freaked out.
>>
>>140867286
>One of you told me to go left to the Forest and forget about that path to the right.
Probably a cleric. You can't trust a cleric. Go right. The gift of the godhead will grant you strength.
>>
>>140867286
>Central Yharnam
OK
>All of Cathedral Ward
So you talked to Alfred a bunch too, I assume.
>All of Forbidden Woods
Did you manage to access the Snake Eater Ladder up to Central Yharnam from there?
>Part of Gaol
OK, you'll have to clear it before Rom. If you haven't beat Rom yet, you're good to go still.
>All of Workshop
Really? There's a secret, in the part with the drop downs and scaffolds in the darkness. Just to let you know if you haven't found it.
>Old Yharnam
OK

Leave Rom alone, and you're fine.

>>140867438
>haven't seen her quest
Go to Tomb of Odeon, via Father Gascoigne's lamp. And prepare to provide backup. Careful not to hit her.
Talk to her a few times after, as well.

Paarl is the lightning Darkbeast.
Best advice is to not lock on to him, and fight him that way.

A few times, found him in a different spot later on and he told me about Vilebloods.

I did not find that particular ladder, no.

Actually yeah, forgot about that. Died earlier when trying to find it.

I'll do that, thanks.

How common is the need for backtracking in these games? I kind of moved on and forgot about Eileen and most people in the chapel. Might have missed some things without knowing it, it seems.

Also fuck spiders I've hated them all my life and looking forward to squishing.

>>140868703
OK, you might have found a poison water-filled cave somewhere in Forbidden Woods. It's in there.
Remember to play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aHQnDTd1y4 when you start to climb it, for the full experience.

Once you save Eileen, find the secret in the Church Workshop tower, explore what lies beyond the ladder, and kill Paarl, you should be good to go to killing Rom. Ignore the little spiders, watch for her animations to know which attack she's gonna do.
Rolling over = below.
Raising her head up = above.
Raising her head + tail up at the same time = centered.

Can't find this chick. She's supposed to be outside the chapel but isn't around. Already talked to her near the sewers a long time ago.

Rom isn't so bad. She's like a giant larval slug thing, nothing scary really, and her children are weird and deformed enough that they're not too scary either.

But the nightmare apostles are troublesome to deal with. Patches and his mates scare the shit out of me. The giant nightmare apostle in the Nightmare of Mensis triggers the everloving cuntsmashing fuck out of me to the point where if I don't kill it first time and get to the next lamp I need to take a break before I can go back in there. And Bell Maidens summoning homing spiders is just awful. Just plain awful. It is not easy, but it's necessary.

The fucking desert land of spiders spiders and more spiders and jumping spiders and spiders in holes and spiders falling on you and here have some complimentary fucking spiders in DaS2 was worse, I think.


Please don't post spiders, Anons.

>>140873832
I can't be sure. Maybe defeating Amelia before triggering the next step of her quest despawned her.

Can we unanimously agree that the guy who voices Patches, throughout all four games, is consistently and literally the best voice actor in the entire series? Whenever he speaks it feels like he's giving it 110%, especially in BB and DaS3.

I let my brother borrow BB while I'm playing DaS3, and I find myself missing the shit out of the Ludwig fight.

On the whole I'm really satisfied with DaS3, but it's so much lighter in mood than BB and it's really hard to appreciate. It might be marginally darker than DaS2 but even DaS1 was considerably darker.

I need to fight giant mishapen screaming insane monstrosities in ankle-deep blood again.

But I didn't really even like BB that much, all things considered.

I have a feeling you started with DaS.
>>
>>140891531
DaS really didn't capture the magic of DeS. Lots of callbacks that just made me remember superior aspects of DeS.
>>
>>140891531
DaS is the saturday monday cartoon version of DeS.
Same game and concepts, but toned down to appeal to a wider audience.
>>
>>140891706
DeS has basically ruined video games for me. Nothing compares. Everything is either "DeS did that better," "that reminds of DeS," or, "I wish DeS could have had these technological amenities".

Since DeS I've been able to enjoy about five games, and three of them are From titles.

>>140892365
What were the other two?

Same thing happened to me kinda, but me being a newfag it was with DaS. Collectively put around 2000 hours into it.

Dragon's Dogma and, actually never mind; the other game I was going to name is older than DeS. So, four games, and three are by From.

First of all, that's not how you use quotes.

I mean, if your PC was made in the last five years it should be able to run fine. You'd only be able to play it on Vita or PSP, but I'd honestly strongly suggest investing in a PSP if your computer is shit bruv. They're dirt cheap and you can emulate games from basically every console (besides Saturn) before the ps1, and other PSP titles.

Saying it's a blind playthrough isn't even an excuse at this point, the entrance was staring him in the face and he just chooses not to notice it. It's like he over-analyzes every tiny detail but misses the big secrets everywhere. My brain is starting to turn into scrambled egg.

To start they do, but they quickly become their own beasts. You cannot honestly tell me that you think an Arc build feels the same as a Strength build.

So over the past few days I finally dove a bit into PVP and started hoonting people. Got a nice K/D I think but there is some issues I am fighting with.
2h weapons destroy me. LHB, Axe, Moonshit Blade... I try to dodge but it seems they just swing forever until they hit again and recompensate the damage I did (I use the cane).
In addition to that, parrying is so fucking iffy... Most of the time it doesnt work although I am sure it should've. Is that a lag problem? I've got some parries after the enemy continued moving so that seems to be it.
Healing is also a bitch. People heal all the time and it's annoying. It turns the fight into a slugfest. I try to get them with shots but often times they get it off somehow and then continue. It infuriates me.

Last, what weapon would be good as a 2nd slot? I mainly use the cane with a skill/arcane build (currently at BL76) and am looking for alternatives since LHB doesnt do it for me. I prefer smaller weapons. Peering at the BB, Saif and Rakuyo in particular. Although the latter seems to be hated and I get why. I often get destroyed by those things.

Stat scaling in this game is absolutely terrible. Doesn't seem to be a reason to go beyond the softcap at all. The difference between 25 and 50 in a stat, even with S scaling is minimal at best. Build variety is limited when you can just go 40 - 50 Vit and 25 in every other stat. No wonder so many people stay in the 70 - 80 range.

Only if you have the right gems.

Bloodborne would be 50% more fun if gems didn't have as huge of an impact on your weapons as they currently do. Like holy shit, you can boost your weapons damage by over 100% if you have the right setup. I feel like gems would have been better if they exclusively gave your weapons special properties instead of also changing the stats

You're missing the point entirely. The game is too easy starting around SL 100. Why would you go further? Do you hate multiplayer? Is the challenge of the bosses/combat not a large part of why you enjoy it?

You're the opposite end of the retard spectrum. It's clear as day the devs intended for you to level up as you went and get to around 70-80 or so by the time you beat it. There's no obligation to level that far, but the developer intent is clear.

Having enough HP that a grapple attack doesn't instantly kill you doesn't make you a shitter anon.

I'm not the best Ace player in the entire game. But I'd like to think I'm competent enough to not be a 'shitter' as you call it. Maybe mildly above shitter. A garbage can maybe. I didn't make that hunter with the intent of multiplayer, originally, seeing as it was my first hunter and I had no idea how the game would flow. So I just leveled him according to what I liked and thought would be helpful. Aka: Having fun.

If I did make a new hunter I would definitely focus on a more specific build. Something more PVP friendly. Since I know how the game works more now in comparison to the Dark Souls games.

I actually find their Souls/Bloodborne LPs to be some of the best. I really enjoyed the DS2 one, Bloodborne is one of my favourites they've done, and even though they've decided to drag Matt 'Forced Jokes' McSimpsonsreference onboard again after Old Hunters, DS3 is holding up pretty well.

I want a Pat solo LP, Matt and Woolie are objectively the worst, Liam is tolerable.
>>
>>140966915
He just breaks so many rules that the series has established up to this point, like I've never seen a boss that can straight up do fighting game combos or one shot you by throwing you off of the cliff with his grab attack. I also don't think theres an enemy or boss that punisheshealing as hard as he does, even Fume Knights would have openings. But Gundyr wants his shit to be an honorable duel. But he can't really have that since he is more agressive than most Bloodborne bosses and when something like that is pitted against a character that can't deal with that it just becomes a mess. I thought he was a good fight before I got to NG+ but god damn the difference between NG and NG+ is staggering with how much damage he does. The weird thing is that he's one of the three bosses that become substantially harder due to bloated numbers. (those other two being Oceiros and Nameless King.)
It's not like he's impossible, i just beat him on NG+++, but it is by no means an enjoyable fight even if you know his attacks because he has no set pattern, nothing he does in phase 2 feels like theres any cause for his attacks other than healing. It just feels like he just does whatever he wants, when he wants, and you're just along for the ride.
>>
>>140967950
I agree that his 2nd phase is too aggressive for a souls game. The only attacks that I really hate form him are the shoulder bash and the seemingly undodgeable spear charge. The spear charge is kinda ok since you can run away from it, but the shoulder bash is a nightmare because of how fucking fast he does it.
Well, the guardian from road of sacrifices was also an enemy straight out of bloodborne.

I'm actually stuck at champ. I parry him on his first phase, but the second phase fucks me up big time. It's been a few hours already. Fume knight took me more than 60 attempts until I killed him, and it looks like champ will be the fume knight of das3.

>Hepburn of Japanese word for Amygdala is Hento
>Hepburn of Japanese word for Tonsil is Hentosen

Some other stuff: amygdalin is a chemical found in almonds. The amygdala is almond-shaped, which is where it gets its name from. Can you guess what the Hepburn of the Japanese word for Almond is?

Hento.

"Hentosen" literally means "Almond Gland".

"Tonsil Stone" is probably either a pun or mistranslation of "Amygdala Stone."

BB > DeS=DkS3 > DkS >>> DkS2

DkS3 placement is kinda weird. It's overall very solid, but it doesn't do anything particularly well that other games haven't done. Its combat is better than DkS1 and 2, but not as good as Bloodborne's. Its worldbuilding is good, but not as good as Dark Souls1's. Its level design is good, but it's not any better than Demon's Souls's or Bloodborne's level design. Its story is just OK.

So while I rank Dark Souls 3 as tied for #2, I wouldn't play it over any other game if I were in the mood for some specific game's strength.

Be honest with yourselves, rose-tints aside. I mean I absolutely love the game the same I love all the others but if I had a choice, I'd take even DaS2 over that rusty old shit any day. Maybe the characters and the world were better but nobody thinks it really plays better than anything do they?

>>
>>140983005
I went back and played through it recently, it holds up just fine. DeS controls smoother and has faster combat than Dark Souls 1 or 2. It lacks the sense of weight that DkS1 did really well, but it's not floaty. It's very responsive. Feels great to play.

>>140997878
Honestly, I want to say there's some interesting areas, and there are some at least visually interesting areas and some good details, three interestingly designed bosses out of the lot, but no mobs stood out for me. It feels very run of the mill dark fantasy.

The combat is certainly slower, but a lot less tight and fluid than Bloodborne. If you liked Dark Souls 1, chances are you'll like this.
>>
>>140999539
Maria is certainly not a top-tier boss in terms of difficulty, but she's not as easy as the memes imply.
>>
>>140999651
Not at first, but when I realized to shoot her when she dashes at you (almost all her moves involve her dashing at you), I'd pull the trigger and stun her and parry her.
I didn't catch on at first, but when I found the i-frames to dodge her slashes and the moments I can stun her, it became a lot easier.
>>
>>140999651
>Maria is certainly not a top-tier boss in terms of difficulty
You're joking right? Maybe she's top ten for challenge, but it's a really easy fight, even if you don't parry spam
>>
>>140999396

>put the glyph back in

Wait, what? I find chalice creation very complicated.
>>
>>140997868
>not enough interesting builds to make
Dude the only out there build to make in Bloodborne is pure arcane and maybe pure bloodtinge.
>DaS2 had shitloads of exciting weapons and concepts you could build
Most of the weapons in DaS2 were almost exactly the same, with entire weapon classes having variations of the same two movesets and magic was nerfed so hard as time went on it wasn't even worth touching, both missteps that were repeated in DaS3 that I can't believe they did.
>>
>>140999997
I said she's not top ten.
>>
>>141000015
Yeah once you get to a certain point you can put in glyphs that other people use without using materials
>>
>>140999541
The way I see it after Sulyvahn is generally the point where the good weapons start to become available and your build starts to look like a real build, so the game picks up a bit.

Of course the problem with this (in my mind) is that the game relies on late game content to be fun, instead of being fun right from the start. It's like when I tell folk I didn't like WoW and they tell me "the game doesn't really start until level 85," I'm playing a fucking game, not making an investment.
>>
>>140999997
For the original guy posting, it was hard telling when to dodge her moves.
Some moves she charges, and I'd have no idea to know when to dodge, and sometimes I'd dodge to early or by the time she budged I had dodged to late and got hit.
Especially when she adds in the flames and has a bigger range than the blood.
But when I learned when to dodge the moves, yeah, it became a lot easier.
She's easier to telegraph once you know when she strikes.
Some bosses are so wild and random, but Maria was pretty straight forward.
>>
>>140997995
For PvE:

Spear + Holy Blade would be my #1 choice. Saw Spear is really good, doesn't really need a back-up, but if I had to choose one, I'd take Holy Blade. High stagger is the only thing Saw Spear really lacks in PvE.

Runner-ups:

Pick + Cane or Rakuyo. Pick is strong and versatile, but doesn't have great crowd control due to not having any fast, sweeping attacks that can be done from neutral. Cane or Rakuyo take care of that.

Saif + Cane or Burial Blade. Saif's main weakness is that it doesn't have a fast, neutral poke. Its untricked R1 is pretty slow, and its tricked R1 has that lunge forward, which is nice, but not always what you want. Cane and Burial Blade provide decent standing pokes with their untricked R1s, and give a faster alternative to Saif's slow crowd control. Also BB for regain is nice.

For PvP:

Saw Spear + Saif. Saw Spear because it dominates in neutral and is just overall really fucking strong, Saif because it can chase down really well, which is something Saw Spear's not-so-great running attacks leave it wanting for.

Runner-ups:

>Of course the problem with this (in my mind) is that the game relies on late game content to be fun, instead of being fun right from the start.
Honestly every game in the series after Demon's Souls does this and it's a shame. Like, unless you're good at the game Bloodborne scarcely gives any really fun weapons until at least cainhurst, before that you only have the boring weapons to work with (ludwig's, saw cleaver and spear, kirk, etc.). Same with DaS1 and DaS2, mostly boring shit at the start and it isn't until the mid point does shit get interesting until the DLC is usually accessible or at the recommended point that you play it.
If the games are going to continue being structured in this extremelt linear fashion then just bring back the archstone level select thing from DeS and give the choice which area I start in.
>>
>>141000636
Oh, that's convenient. Just pick up someone's glyph and so long as you used those ingredients you can replay their dungeon (which is unique from yours)?

Personally I didn't find this was really a problem BB had, all the starting weapons were great in my opinion (except the cane, which is a weapon that really doesn't shine until it's maxed out), the bosses all had a fairly consistent difficulty with a few exceptions of easy bosses (and most of them had a gimmick that was somewhat enjoyable, TOR and Hemwich are the only genuinely boring fights), and the early areas actually have some of the strongest designs in the game.

It's a real treat coming back to this game after playing DaS3 for a while.

Everything just clicks, every weapon is fun, everything's fast and fluid. I've ran Central Yharnam 10 times more than I ever did the high wall + undead settlement but I've never really felt as bored of it as I have in those games.

If you like PVP I can understand not liking Bloodborne, but outside of that it's a game with so many ups and so few downs.

Also best hub + level up girl.

I think a major gripe with them is they all look the same, absolute same architecture from these wildly different ancient civilizations and same layout.

Honestly, if each dungeon type had unique architecture they'd be infinitely better - keep the same layout, same everything, just different floor and wall textures. Just a little variety other than filters.

DaS3 pvp meta when?

>>141007401
Its pretty good overall. Shines at its best with higher upgrades and good gems. Great for 1v1's. Its range is better than you'd expect but it has shit crowd control though. Also a bit average against things bigger than you. You'll need to repair a bit more often than your average weapon too.

It wasn't fantastic like BB but it's a decent game, it feels like a lot of people are overhating the game right now just because that's the cool thing to do.

I love Bloodborne, very nice game. That feel when I havent bought the DLC tho. And I haven't played the game in a long time. Is it worth going back?

Is the PVP scene of this game still alive? How are things going? Any updates or whatnit?

Some people by hating it because it's cool to do that, but plenty of people, myself included, are plain unhappy with the game. We are allowed to not like it, and we don't, for a whole host of reasons we've gone over time and time again in the weeks following its release.
>>
>>141011559
No shit anon, I die more times before I can get the 2nd one to fall than Ludwig.
>>
>>141011558
The DLC is worth every penny, it's absolutely amazing and adds some of the best weapons and bosses in the game.

There's still PVP, and chances are there'll be more in the coming weeks as people leave DS3. We still do weekly FCs here in /bbg/.

>>141011691
Stop trying to parry him. It isn't worth the risk. DO your best to stay out of his fucking way and spank that ass when he does the slip n' slide.

I mean, it's a great game, but man I am just constantly wishing I could import some of my BB weapons to spice things up a bit

I love this game already and I haven't even beaten the first boss yet.

>as people leave DS3

Why tho? Is it that bad? havent played it.

>DS3 has many weapons
>most feel the fucking same

>each one is unique and feels completely different
How did they do it so right?

Tell me about it anon, my pyro can use like 5 weapons because I have no str and it's starting to get stale
>>
>>141012453
It's not bad your first time through, but after that it's pretty dull. PvP is trash, nothing but gank squads, NG+ and on doesn't have any challange if you already have a leveled up weapon, and it just...idk. Out of all the Souls games, it's my favorite, but still doesn't do what BB does for me.
>>
>>141011883
Okay, I do hate this more than anything in the game though.

How to I respond when the moon presence does Gaze of the Moon twice in a row? Seems like the best idea when it does the firsts Gaze of the Moon is to rush it so I can get my health back, but if it uses it a second time it murders me even if I'm behind it.

>that gascoigne music
What is that sound? It sings to me, enough to make a man mad...

How is Cainhurst not the best part of this game? Goddamn it's beautiful, creepy, and awesome all at once.

Although this martyr... Barely took off 1/3 before dying. Very different from the usual "dodge their swipes" bosses so far.
>>
can i barrow someone's ps4 to play this game please? the atomsphere of the game is very cool but what really gets me is wanting to know the lore and the world of the game which i can do by going on the wiki but i would rather experience it if ever.
>>
The one thing I like more about DaS3 is the armor variety, you can make just about any look you're going for.
>>
How long did it take Miyazaki and devs to make the game? Shit looks goddamn pretty and theres SO MUCH unique models, props and assets scattered around, unless its reused and I didn't notice.

Wish they where more experimental with programming and mechanics though. NPCs still seem to be lacking in my opinion.

Pretty sure they started right after dark souls 3 first release

Anyone else who still needs vertebra shackles interested in helping one and another cheese them? As in we find a nice, remote bonfire, set a pass, then one of us uses red soap stone while the host allows the purple to kill them over and over until each of us have as much as we need?

I just need that warmth pyromancy.
>>
this game is literally 10/10
sequel fucking when

>>141013784
Hopefully never.

Is there a best gun for only parrying? I imagine it would be whichever shoots fastest but I'm not sure if there are other factors.

>>141014314
Hows about just outside of cleansing chapel, pass is bbg.

I need 19, how many you need?
>>
>>141014539
18
Is DS3 like BB where the password matchmaking bypasses the level range, because I need the shackles on my endgame character
If it does, I'm waiting and my signs down in front of the bonfire
>>
>>141014737
I see you boy, dusty right?
>>
>>141014801
Yep
If you want we can just take turns
>>
>>141014912
Sounds good, we'll have them shackles in no time.
>>
>>141011621
It's got some REALLY strong elements but it's too linear and small overall.

But the first time I invaded Farron Keep and realized how large this one multiplayer zone was, I was enchanted. DaS3's MP is best by far. I just wish PvE had more variety in environments, choices and weapons.

I'm gonna whip up several specialized multiplayer focused characters and just enjoy it for what it is. Maybe the DLC will solve a lot of these issues, but until then, various themed invader and co-op builds will be satisfying.
