BLOODBORNE Spoiler Thread (read OP)

This is off-topic...but when in the world does the pre-load start for this game? My internet connection isn't great, and I could use as much time as possible to download this game so I can play it as soon as it releases. I didn't want to make a new thread just for a simple question.

most likely in the afternoon. if it doesn't, we riot.
 
Do we have any idea on what is online only for the game? Besides the usual online co-op/pvp jazz. I personally have zero interest in getting PS+, so I was merely curious as to what is not enabled in an offline run of the game.

I've never done a fully offline run in a first playthrough since Demon's Souls, so I'm quite hyped for that. Dark Souls II's online really helped me cheese the game. :3c

Imagine my surprise when it happened. :p

This is indeed the big surprise that I mentioned prior, when I stated the lead up to the fight with the IGN boss was something that had not been done in prior souls games and that it would surprise folks. I'm glad that some of you were able to experience it firsthand. Hopefully the rest can as well.

I was shocked as well when it happened to me.

I know of features, but I meant like say,
any Covenant stuff. From has usually allowed ways for offline players to accomplish much of that stuff, even if it means to grind.

From the link, it says the midnight update will cover "Game performance and usability improvements, etc."

Hopefully they reduce load times.
 
what did it say in general? Its been deleted

I think the gist of it was
that Chalice dungeons are incredibly hard. Maybe not so much at first, but it increases really quick. Also that he had encountered 11 new bosses in the dungeons thus far (I think). Rewards are also not strictly mats and such. He actually obtained a gear set which can be seen in the video that was linked not too far above.

Chalice dungeons look like they have a lot more depth then most people anticipated.

Edit: Beaten... well I have some more info, so not exactly.
 
4 types of Chalice Dungeons which with its own layers. DIfficulty increases with each layer.
11 new exclusive bosses with its own soundtrack.

Plus reused bosses are not only harder but have new moves. There is also some worthwhile equipment to get from the dungeons.

There's more than that (plus the post was written much better) so I hope the post comes back up soon.
 
Couple of hours into the game and beat the first boss... currently looking for the way to proceed... . They really made something special and combined the best ideas from DeS and DaS.


The central hub is beautiful but kinda empty though ...almost no NPC's to chat with.I hope that changes.
 
Hot damn I watched about 45 seconds of that Chalice Dungeon video and had to turn it off before I saw too much. That looked off the damn charts, I am now more hyped than I was before. It's great to hear that the Chalice Dungeons are shaping up to be a worthy end game challenge.
 
The Chalice Dungeon info is fucking insane. I'm going to be playing this damn game for months, or longer. The Souls series has been waiting for meaty non-NG+ replay value for ages, and here it is. From and Miyazaki have completely outdone themselves.
 
They better not shut off the download servers for maintenance...

I don't think download servers are affected because they are hosted on external servers by an external company (I can't remember the name).

As long as you start your download before the maintenance starts it shouldn't be affected.

I was so busy freaking out at the time that I didn't fully grasp what had happened. It's the type of thing you would never expect to see from a video game in this day and age.
 
That's the one.

But is this boss
a revamp of the Cleric Beast or another boss
? If it's
a Cleric Beast revamp, then damn, it looks really different. Not just a mere skin.

Must be Cleric Beast. I can't think of another similar boss.
