There where?

Since it's Bloodborne, i'd imagine it's gameplay related rather than story related. So it's probably about some section that's really hard. So i'd speculate that it could be something involving one hit kills. It's something a lot of games today are scared to do because it could turn players off. But it'd fit right into something like Bloodborne since you should already be prepared for an unforgiving difficulty level.

 

[Mitochondrion]

The Problem with bloodbourne from what I can tell:

Framerate seems good
Graphics look stunning
It has coop
And VS
It hasn't been downgraded
It's not short
It doesn't have pre order bullshit

What are we supposed to complain about??

It is because it is not on PC/Xbox One/Wii U/Mac/Linux/iOS/Android/Ouya etc but especially not being on PC.

Because it is a PlayStation 4 exclusive. You are not allow to enjoy it and they will do everything they can to find any faults in this game making you have some doubts about this game and think it is not that good. It is overrated. Dark Souls and Dark Souls II are better because they were multi-platform titles despite any technical faults or negative aspects.

Funny how none of this happens to Demon's Souls. It is apparently very well revered game and some say it is the best even better than Dark Souls and Dark Souls II even though it is a PlayStation 3 exclusive and its shortcomings are ignored.

If From Software make Dark Souls III or another multi-platform game. It will be compared to Bloodborne and it will be well received as a better game than Bloodborne even if it worse than Bloodborne.

So overall, Bloodborne is a bad game because it is a PlayStation 4 exclusive. Mainly because it is not on PC. That is all.

Yes, more specifically, it should be up in about 2-3 hours.

lemme check the countdown thing on psn library

Well according this user, we may have instances of BB reminiscing about Blight town:

Bloodborne looks much better in motion, I don't really have issue with how it looks but the frame rate sometimes is awful. Here are 2 quick vids I did of the parry system, shouldn't be any spoilers as they are a few seconds each but it looks better in motion.

The countdown is for unlock, not preload.

I was talking about preload being up, not the actual game.

Well according this user, we may have instances of BB reminiscing about Blight town:

That doesn't indicate anything about a Blightown-esque framerate (consistently bad). It could be referring to FPS drops but not areas consistently under 30.

 

[Qvoth]

no wonder, because it's showing 1 day 12 hours right now

 

[IAmRandom31]

isn't pre-load automatic?

could of swore i never had to do anything with Destiny, just pre-ordered and voila .. one day it was suddenly all ready to go

Hence I said "instances".

Without an objective analysis the magnitude of the issue and the period of persistence can't be known. It will be interesting when DF does what they do.

Oh, it just came off as a very strange way to put it, as opposed to just calling it FPS drops. Since Blighttown is more often associated with the continuous nature of sub-30 FPS as opposed to instances of FPS drop.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Do we no if Bloodborne has locked or unlocked fps ? I hope it's locked.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

I expect a few technical points with a ton of platitudes about how what matters is how fun it is and some more fluff that has nothing to do with a technical analysis.

I love this i need more people in despair. Anybody got more of this?

 

[CambriaRising]

Well according this user, we may have instances of BB reminiscing about Blight town:

These instances are nowhere near Blighttown, which was a consistent performance trap.

 

[Trakan]

Don't do it. These games are intended to be played in single player and co-op is only to help with difficult bosses or enemies. I'm not sayings this in some elitist Souls fan type of way, I mean that the systems are designed so that it's difficult to play the entire game in co-op. You and your brother will have to rejoin each other's game every time one of you dies or you beat a boss. The summoned player will also not make any progress in their own game or get any loot besides Blood Echoes (XP). If you're only getting the game to play in co-op then save yourself the $60.

Co-op is the main reason I and a friend love the souls games and we play the entire game in co-op. It's not hard to rejoin the other player's game. I guess you have to do content twice, once for each player's world, but it doesn't bother us.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Gonna try and give away my shift on Tuesday...I can't take this anymore

 

[FrankWza]

2 questions. can you download the patch before having the physical copy? anyone with ssd comment on load times yet?

 

[pixlexic]

I really love the feel of the charge attacks. its feels very natural to the souls type of battle system.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

2 questions. can you download the patch before having the physical copy? anyone with ssd comment on load times yet?

Nope, you can't and no one has commented yet, but I don't think it would be a great improvement.

 

[Nyteshade517]

2 questions. can you download the patch before having the physical copy? anyone with ssd comment on load times yet?

You have to have the game data on the system before you can download a patch

 

[Error]

Why is this not pre-loading for me, it says March 22 well it's March 22 and nothing is happening. Fucking Sony.

 

[MegaSackman]

Yeah, It's always like this, we probably have to wait a few minutes or hours more. -_-

 

[Nugg]

I have been doing release date delivery with Amazon for over 3 years and can't remember them ever being late. Went digital with this one though.

I've been doing this for about the same time as you too. They screw up pretty badly for both the Xbox One and the PS4, for Destiny, and for AC Unity (Amazon France). Still pretty rare though.

 

[Dead Prince]

probably later today unless they plan to not do it.

I thought so but I saw a couple of comments here and there. maybe its just with the digital preload or I misunderstood

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

12:00amEST = 11:00pmCST = 10:00pmMST = 9:00pmPST

I live in central zone, so 11:00pm for me. thats all i was referring to.

A bit confusing since iRAWRasaurus asked if it was really 11 EST, and another member said yes.

Uh huh

But I have been enjoying the salt since this game was announced

 

[jacobs34]

There are so many streams and Youtube videos of the game out there now that I've actively had to shutter off about half of the internet I frequent to avoid spoilers. Two more days!

 

[Giriath_89]

Apparently both the CE and standard edition are sold out at Best Buy Online.

Nice to see the game selling well.

 

[Nyteshade517]

The CE is sold out on Gamestop's site too (no idea about in-store but more than likely sold out too)

Amazon still lists the CE as being available there

 

[xxRONN1Nxx]

I've done really well I havnt watched any videos except trailers and that first 18 minute video IGN did. I've read a lot but avoided watching to many videos. I want to know but the hype and wait is killing me. 1200 eastern Monday night can't come soon enough. I'm ready to see that pre load start then shit gets real

 

[Forensic Scene]

Just saw the ridin' dirty video and lost my s***.

 

[shungokusatsu]

probably later today unless they plan to not do it.

Most preloads open/start at 12pm PT. Sony really needs to get on the ball and start allowing preloading 1-3 months in advance like Xbone.

 

[IAmRandom31]

really? how many streams does Twitch say it has running of Bloodborne?

live with playstation hasn't had any anytime i was looking across the games.

 

[jacobs34]

Most of the streams have been on websites other than Twitch. Twitch does a good job of enforcing embargo policies.

 

[MasterForm]

Can't tell if serious.

They give you 24+ hours before release to download the game and patches. That's more than enough time. It's not like you can play it anyway.

 

[silva1991]

Whenare the games are usually delivered after release(amazon) ?

alot of stores are selling the game in Saudi Arabia and I don't wanna wait a week to play the game : (

Since it's Bloodborne, i'd imagine it's gameplay related rather than story related. So it's probably about some section that's really hard. So i'd speculate that it could be something involving one hit kills. It's something a lot of games today are scared to do because it could turn players off. But it'd fit right into something like Bloodborne since you should already be prepared for an unforgiving difficulty level.

like the archers in Anor Londo?

Fuck Shit Lol

 

[IAmRandom31]

I have a feeling I know what the dude means by " they went there "

im thinking it could be similar to something that occurs in Demons Souls

Spoiler

when you turn into the boss for another player in 3-3 (3-4?). I have a feeling in this game you can turn into an enemy against other players, beyond just being a red phantom. like .. players actually being hunted in a way by beastly player characters ... something like that

and no I know nothing of this game, just my guess

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Most of the streams have been on websites other than Twitch. Twitch does a good job of enforcing embargo policies.

Twitch had some streams going for quite a while yesterday with one even trying a 24 hour marathon . A couple of them had thousands of followers and one had a sub button . What happens when you get taken down? Do they perma ban your account or is temporary? I would think some of the bigger streamers would know better.

 

[Dead Prince]

didn't they just have maintenance? probably used that time to clear their server congestion for the bloodborne wraith.

 

[AngryMoth]

Can't tell if serious.

Ah, so ps4 lets you preload patches as well? That's nice, I wasn't looking forward to the extra hour downloading a 3gb patch when it unlocks

 

[addyb]

Jesus Christ I'm too hyped. Uk based but pre ordered from the US store.

Seen about 2 mins gameplay on streams and I've just watched the launch trailer 5000 times.

I might even have to have an hour on Dark Souls tonight just for a from software fix.

 

[tintin1029]

How's the feedback on the Chalice Dungeons?

Also, just watched that "Graphics Comparison" video, liked it, but was kinda disappointed by it. I wanted a fake Veselekov style geek voice telling me about the comparisons and how shitty they are lol.

"As you can see here, the differences between the alpha and the retail versions of Bloodborne are..... pretty drastic. Like, look how low res those Textures are. It's almost as bad as Shrine of Amana. It's just awful."

 

[silva1991]

Edit:nvm

Ahhh dude thats a spoiler

 

[AngryMoth]

Btw I assume the game is using dedicated servers again like DS2 right?

Sorry for spoiler
