BLOODBORNE Spoiler Thread (read OP)

Are the starter weapons easy to get after I choose one? I'll probably get the
Axe, mostly because I'm tired of seeing Sawcleaver and because I didn't see some long Threaded Cane gameplays, is it good? How is it? Something like Ivy from Soul Calibur?

It has a
charge attack that hits twice (it's like a whirlwind spin) that's really useful and powerful.
 
Does this guy not know that the PS4 OS shows your full name on the main screen?

Maybe not the best idea leaving it on that screen for 30 seconds while hundreds of random internet people are watching.
 
It's kind of weird playing a 'souls game' without having extended faqs and wikis to check.

There weren't any extended FAQs or Wikis during the first week of Dark Souls 1&2. Plenty of people finished those games before everything was just a click away. Main reason one existed for Demon's is simply due to the Western release delay.

Can't wait for some delicious DarkSydePhil fail vids

Isn't DarkSydeFail fail a bit redundant?

There was no wiki for DeSo either until a few of us started it after a few weeks. There was no indication it was being released in the West until the summer of 09 when Atlus picked it up.

So this is definitely a new experience for many players that didn't import DeSo.

Much of the information was already out there though. It was either written in Japanese, or you had to simply watch someone in Japan playing it. Just saying that the Wikis for the games that came after were out much sooner in English due to the release date and how many people were actually playing them.

NPC spoiler :
Seems like the people in the houses come to the cathedral as a safe place if you go talk to them after reaching it.
 
No. Dark Souls was too hard for me.

I would say it's a tad easier than Dark Souls. Kind of a wash, really. It's harder than Demon's Souls, which I think is the easiest of them all. DS2 has a fucking wonky ass difficulty curve so it's hard to say where it'd fit there.

Man, i can already see it coming:(NPC speculation)
you tell one NPC to go to the cathedral and it turns out it's a "bad guy" and he fucks all the other NPCs up
 
Guys i'm thinking about cancelling my collectors edition and getting a pair of pulse headphones instead. I've never gamed with a decent set of headphones, do they make that much of a difference? Like £75 difference?

That's what I expect. So far
the only person there is a prostitute he helped. She offers you her blood.

Still give it a shot. Back in the day, demons souls was too hard for me. But I was really excited about dark souls, so I went for it. And the second time around it clicked. Then later I went back to demons souls with the skills I had learned and it was great.

The skills in bloodborne may not transfer as well. But it might just click this time around

Dunno about pulse headphones but nice headphones make a huge difference.

Thanks. I will.

The guy who was going to review it for me ended up dropping out, so I'm tasked with doing so.
 
Any early game streams? I don't wanna get spoiled any more than I already have, but watching people play the first area is fun.
 
Slash damage just kind of sucked in DS2, but katanas weren't specifically bad.

I read that a lot, but as someone who made a dual katana character at first and then only after a couple of NG+ playthroughs made a strike character, I tend to think the opposite (katanas were fine, maces were the ones that were overpowered).

The game was already too easy (especially bosses) with katanas, but with strike weapons it's just stupid.
 
Does anyone want to see some good quality movies tomorrow? I will record my playthrough and will be able to upload some parts if anyone wants to see the game in a better quality. My stream will start on release date because of the bans.
 
I thought they sucked in DS2? At least I think I remember reading that very early on, I guess they got buffed?

Buffed washing pole and chaos blade were both pretty OP early on. I can't really recall all the patches but most katanas in DS2 are still pretty much top tier. And to clarify, I'm talking about PVP.
 
Yesssssss

I will upload them to mega then if that is fine for everyone. Fast download speeds etc. and as far as I remember 1 hour gameplay are about 3-4gb very good quality. I also won't talk or will have my webcam on so that everybody can really appreciate it. :)

First video will get uploaded in exactly 24 hours! Will get my copy tomorrow morning cause of work.
 
Shiiiet you guys got me leaning towards the headphones, i want the soundtrack and art book but the atmosphere and sound design looks incredible, i wouldn't want to do it a desservice

I've got until Wednesday to decide i guess.
 
Can somebody please give an opinion on the AA? Has it improved from the previews? What's the view on the visuals? Got it on pre-order due to GAF hype (first time I've fallen for such hype).
 
Sorry if this has been asked but are there areas on this like the souls games where you can access early in the game but where you will be totally under equipped for. Uber beasties etc. A bit like the skeleton path from firelink shrine in DS.
