Do we know when the embargo is up and when reviews can drop? Looking forward to the GB quicklook and review, but have no idea when it'll be on Mondau

I've read 10:00am Monday. But I also read that it could be 3:00am Monday (both times being Eastern).

 

[Krusenstern]

Publisher should allow two release day if the game is ready to sell.

Premium release day: $70-80.00 to play it early
Regular release day: $60.00

With the pre-order culture, they will make a lot of money on the extra 'early rate tax'.

That doesn't make any sense.

Shinobi said it should lift on Monday at 10AM EST.

 

[bombshell]

So the people here that have the game, are the graphics good and detailed? Can't really tell in streams. It's what's going to get me to pull the trigger on the preorder.

If you quote me you'll find link to best quality stream.

 

[derwalde]

Does anyone know if the german version has english voices? I saw a german stream and the voices ingame were german. DeSo and DaSo 1+2 had english voices only. Ive preordered from the psn store.

 

[JackEtc]

Is ther an active stream up?

NEW PAGE! Quote for stream link.

Cool, thanks guys!

Yeah, it does. Saw it in a german stream earlier today.

Thanks for the info.

God save fromsoft. See you all on the other side. Im out of this thread.

 

[Jobbs]

does anyone know what NG+ does in this game? what's it add, if anything?

 

[lilbaby Jesus]

So do we know where to find the scythe yet? I hope it isn't too far.

And why can't I watch the hitbox stream on my iPhone?!

 

[aly]

Mendrox was so close.

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

Hasn't been a lot of info about NG+ yet.

I'd like to know that too

 

[Derpyduck]

Mendrox was so close.

Failing builds character. He'll be a better man for it. That's why I'll be telling myself. My big decision is going to be which controller do I use for BB. The black? The camo? The white one? The blue perhaps? Which controller wants to give its life?

 

[pharmboy044]

Hasn't been a lot of info about NG+ yet.

I'd like to know that too

How does one usually find this out? Will it be in the guide or just filter through the community?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

I have to wait for Friday, that's when it comes out here.

Yep, UKGaf are going to be in pain for a few days while everyone else is playing! Have an exam on Friday so just thinking of the sweet reward after I pass!!!

The guide should contain everything imo.
Info slowly starts trickling through videos, forums and then then the wikis

Could someone please PM me the location of the

to you. Been wandering around Central Yharnam, around the Plaza but I seem to be missing something...

 

[fedexpeon]

That doesn't make any sense.

Sure it does.

EA did it with Simcity 2013.
If you bought Limited Edition for an extra $15, you were able to play early.
The extra $15 was to make up for the loss of sales if the game was bad.
Risk vs Reward scenario in having two release dates.
And since so many people preordered to play early, EA made the right decision since the game/reviews were bad on the actual release date.

So for BB, if I wanted to play right now and Sony was to offer it at a higher marked price.
I would buy it for $80.00.
It would be a risk if the game doesn't live to the hype, but oh well, it is a premium tax to be able to experience the game early.

Whaaaat. How.

 

[Mandelbo]

Well 2 things we saw on stream ( NPC related) :

Spoiler

NPC's in the house won't talk to you at night. Also one near the first lamp in Yarnham ( Gilbert?) transforms into a beast at night.

That's pretty neat, just in the first area too! It would make my day if there was at least one completely optional, secret area that opened up based on the

time of day.

I've yet to see anyone beat Father Gascoigne,

whenever he transforms

he just kicks their arse. I fear for my controllers.

sti4thewin did it on his first try, and Bloodborne is his first Souls game.

Thanks that did the trick. Looks good. Preordering now.

Took me about 4-5 tries and I've played the other games. It honestly feels just like a souls game where you have to learn patterns to succeed, but those patters just happen....way fucking quicker.

Best way I can describe the style of gameplay the game wants from it's players is cautious aggression.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Is there a big variety of stages? I have seen only one place on streams

 

[Jobbs]

Mendrox finally did it!!!

 

[Late Flag]

Finally got him! Nice job.

 

[Yoshichan]

Good job mendrox!!!!!!!

 

[Cidd]

Who said the guns were useless?

That was epic lol.

 

[aly]

lol Mendrox dem panic rolls you did. Good job on gettting him!

 

[robotzombie]

Does anyone know where you level up your stats? I can't find it...

Do I have to unlock the ability?

 

[Sinnermighty]

So do we know where to find the scythe yet? I hope it isn't too far.

And why can't I watch the hitbox stream on my iPhone?!

If you really want to know:

Spoiler

Supposedly drops from last boss in NG so you can start using it in NG+

Does anyone know where you level up your stats? I can't find it...

Do I have to unlock the ability?

When you encounter the first boss (doesn't matter if you kill it), you can begin to level up back in the hub.

 

[Pacote-san]

yep, but people streaming usually shows the first parte before cleric beast

theres even snowy stages etc

 

[HORRORSHØW]

has anyone discovered a weapon with a higher rating than a C?

 

[Giriath_89]

That boss lore though!

 

[ValfarHL]

You have to encounter (and die) to the first boss.

Damn it, I miss him get beat.

Where do you go/what do you do after

Spoiler

Blood Starved Beast? The old guy in the hunter's dream said go to the top of the church but that door is always locked.

 

[Foffy]

Has

magic been seen yet? For the player to use, mind you.

To me, that's a staple of From's fantasy games. Would be a shame to see that removed.

Ah that happened to me too. What a creepy as fuck place. Guess I'm heading back.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Sorry, haven't really been following the pre-release for BB but is the framerate a locked 30fps? Anyone with the game noticing drops?
