[cpp_is_king]

Something is frustrating me... I despise dying and I want to avoid dying against Cleric Beast. But you have to either beat or defeat him in order to start leveling up, right?

Fuck, that means I'm basically boned. I want to level up before engaging him even the first time. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!

You despise dying and you love FROM games? You're either so pro that you'll beat him on your first try anyway, or enjoy the disappointment of dying in a masochistic way so much that this will be the perfect occasion

 

[Aeana]

Evilore, he doesn't play games.

He's playing this.

 

[_h8bit]

Eff yes, third boss down. Was stressing over this guy all morning at work but I got him on my first try.

 

[chadskin]

The hype made me buy the game. Fuck you Gaf.

Same. First From Software game I'll play. Fuck you Gaf.

Can someone explain weapon scaling? If a weapon has multiple stats that it scales with can I choose to ignore one of them even if it is the highest: let's say in arcane with a C, and I just want to level skill that has a D.

It seems like more complicated weapons will screw over builds.

 

[Despera]

I thought Evil liked Dark Souls?

It's his GoTG.

 

[Tarkus]

Has someone claimed the review thread or is it going to be a free-for-all until someone makes it first in 30 minutes?

 

[convo]

Chalice dungeons were only integrated with the recent patch right? Or were they always available in offline form? It seems like a gigantic portion of the game like the multiplayer most people have yet to fully explore i imagine.

 

[Netherscourge]

Is 25.3GB the correct size?

29.89GB is the total size so far.

 

[RoboPlato]

He's playing this.

He bought a PS4 just for this, right?

 

[AmethystEnd]

Well, for the night, at least.

Careful, I can already hear the keyboards of a hundred game journalists.

"Lazy Dev: Cancels game to play Bloodborne"

"Bloodborne causing more than just in-game casualties: Ghost Song canceled"

 

[Foffy]

So I'm currently in bed.

How the fuck am I supposed to sleep, knowing that: 1. You're all playing the fucking game in a few hours, and 2. Reviews are out any minute now.

It'll be a slaughter fest and my brain knows it. It doesn't want to miss this but I'm going to force choke this fucking body to go to bed right this instant.

If it helps, I was going to get the game tomorrow. Now I don't know when I'll get it. :3c

The one it scales highest with is the best. Mods might help out those that scale lower but whatever it scales highest with by default will cause most damage.

They go to whoever makes a thread first when reviews start to hit. Any threads made before then to try to reserve the thread are locked.

 

[Ferrio]

29.89GB is the total size so far.

wait why was my preload only 5 gig?


edit: checked size, 29.. in the clear.

You probably shouldn't ignore the highest, but arcane might end up a special case.
There are also

gems

that can be

socketed to improve scaling

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

It's his GoTG.

A man of taste!

 

[CoG]

Plants Versus Zombies killed my Plasma. Good to hear this considering how long I'll be playing Bloodborne.

No HUD kind of defines the types of game I can play. I will be playing Bloodborne for a long, long time.

You're better of leveling the one with the highest grade, in your case the C. Eventually, by upgrading (if it's like Souls), that C will become a B, and perhaps even an A after furthee upgrading it. The massive increase in damage will be much more noticable with every "letter".

 

[natertots]

Well, It looks like I have to buy a PS4 now.

 

[RoboPlato]

wait why was my preload only 5 gig?

That's just what you need to start the game. The rest keeps downloading in the background.

 

[mordecaii83]

Anyone else planning on going heavy into Arcane? I don't know how bad I'm going to screw up my character, but I want to see what happens.

Nice. I'll be watching, and I encourage YOU ALL to watch, too. This dude funny.

 

[Servbot #42]

Damn only 2 hours and 30 min left until my copy is unlocked, i may risk it and stay up late playing Bloodborne.

 

[noomi]

hmm online mode is up, but I cant use the beckoning bell it just doesn't work...just makes an error sound

oddly enough when I tried to use the beckoning bell yesterday in offline mode it actually let me use it.... but did nothing

 

[_h8bit]

Any advice for someone with a skill based build? I keep feeling I should put a point in Bloodtinge every now and then but I'm not sure.. :l Mostly been focusing on Skill, Vit, and End

 

[Toxi]

They said you can end the game with the same gear you get an hour in.

...So like every other Souls game?

 

[MegaSackman]

News about the load times

"REGARDING LOAD TIMES

The development team is currently exploring another patch for Bloodborne, seeking ways to improve load time duration, in addition to other performance optimizations and miscellaneous bug fixes".

 

[kobe(beast)]

I added you on record 18...you can make any changes yourself!

Ty rusty ^^

U don't have to kill him once you die to him the first time u can level up

 

[KCroxtonJr]

But... having played it- their criticisms make sense.


And hey- its still a good score?

I'm not saying the criticisms mentioned aren't legit but...there's not even a single mention of chalice dungeons. It just feels off to me *shrugs*

is it just me, or does time seem to have stopped?

 

[chualie]

I'm tempted to just get it digitally.

Got a copy preordered at Best Buy but damn the wait is too hard.

 

[Gorillaz]

has anyone gotten invaded yet?

Who will be the one to create the first Giant Dad of bloodborne
