Before i purchase this tomorrow does this game have like a campaign or story?

There is a story, but like the Souls games, it will be told in a very minimal fashion. Not too many cutscenes; maybe a big one at the start to give a little background info, then most cutscenes are of boss entrances. In the Souls games, you had to read item descriptions and listen to cryptic messages from NPCs (and there are not many in the game), and piece everything together. I think Bloodborne is going to be the same. An Uncharted or The Last Of Us type of storytelling it will not have.

 

[Draper]

Nonsense. You will just die 1,000 times instead of 500. Now pick up dat cane and prepare to bitch slap some monstrosities in style while it happens.

Someone back me up and tell me they're doing Professional.

WTF Bestbuy is sold out of preorders for the regular game

Good news!! Except for you

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

those hats are awesome! I better get my hats when I pick it up from Gamestop in the morning.

You will get the hats plus these from Gamestop if you preordered:

 

[xxRONN1Nxx]

Add me psn xxRONN1Nxx

 

[MistressMoitie]

50 minutes. I'll be in line at Gamestop within the next 20 so this is my last time update.

It's been a pleasure waiting with you gentlemen.

I believe the messenger skin for pre-ordering in the US was the Top Hat...Gamestop also had a second skin called the Bandage Skin (just wraps the messengers heads in bandages)

Oh shit Mobiuz stream just went full hype level. . big spoiler.

I am rolling Noble Scion for the early boost on skill and blood tinge.

 

[kayos90]

Died a total of 64 times by the end of the game. It's definitely easier than Dark Souls btw.

[Kuro]

Oh snap. Gies going in.

Why is Gies acting like a child

 

[super-famicom]

I'm going with the Professional Origin, and choosing the Threaded Cane.

[Lee Chaolan]

Got to get me a little caffeine boost going.

WTF Bestbuy is sold out of preorders for the regular game

Yeah, I didn't know what was going on when I tried to order earlier in the day and ship to the store. Same thing happened last time with a game and I thought it was some kind of glitch. I just went into the store and picked one up, so not really worried

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Learning that this game is probably not for me. These beaming reviews make me want to get it, though. Have fun, GAF!

 

[MrTexor]

I dont know if anyone noticed already, but the manual is up

[Skatterd]

Oh shit Mobiuz stream just went full hype level. . big spoiler.

I feel vindicated at telling him to look there from the beginning while chat was telling him to beat the game, etc.

 

[bananafactory]

These 2 wolves on the bridge are killing me. ugh

 

[zoutlaw]

Those reviews are ridiculous. I can't believe I have to wait till Friday due to work... and even on Friday I don't get to enjoy it fully due to wedding planning and cake testing.

Damn you real lifes. DAAAAAAMN YOOOOOOUS!

You guys get the game early and just pull all nighters?

 

[_h8bit]

To everyone playing tonight/tomorrow for the first time, enjoy. Just wrastled the third boss tonight and figuring out a route to the next. Add me on PSN if ya like - helvetica44

 

[Wallach]

First point is fair. Not sure I understand his second point.

Trying to give merit to generalizing a game and/or its player base via interactions with individuals.

Twitter is not the guy's strongest area.

"also when you love a game and act like a dick to people who don't, it reflects poorly on that game."

using that logic...when you work for a company and you act like a dick to people who don't it reflects poorly on the company

No wonder why Amazon is very late in shipping my game. This game must be out of stock everywhere.

 

[InsertNameHere]

Damn, I'm so hyped for this. The wait to play after classes is going to be torture.

If anyone wants to add me on PSN, I could always use more friends and co-op partners GT - TheNeXt6

 

[Svafnir]

Anyone elses download going super slow?

 

[wulfstein]

Aww I didn't know you get to play at 9 PM PST! Such a moron... should have preloaded

 

[Oxnard Montalvo]

Add me lets hunt! Bubislegend

 

[Naudi]

So i guess ill just read every review i can find while the countdown timer is up on my tv lol...I wish reviews had no pics cause i keep having to exit out cause Im almost completely unspoiled thus far.

 

[TimeEffect]

So I had this game on standard shipping which meant the game would arrive NEXT week. So I complained and told them that if I order something off Amazon that is preordered, it should arrive the day of, regardless of shipping. Because otherwise, why am I bothering to get it from Amazon at all when I can walk into a store?

So they upgraded my copy to express for free, and Im getting the game tomorrow.

 

[potam]

damnit. I am interested in this game, but never got into Dark Souls (only one I tried). And I seriously doubt I can get an unbiased opinion of the game here, especially all the midnight buyers.

Can anyone say how different this is from the previous games?

 

[MegaSackman]

GUYS GUYS!

Audio mode is up! update your companion app!!!

 

[bananafactory]

I need a break. The frustration is getting to me already -_-

 

[Darryl M R]

Lol you were correct all along. I honestly thought he should of finished the game, though couldn't this boss also be replicated in the story mode (if bosses are taken from there), or do you think this is just specific to the dungeon?

 

[Jinaar]

38 minutessssssssss!!!

 

[shotgunshine]

GUYS GUYS!

Thanks for the heads up. Was hoping it would be up tonight but figured they would do it when they updated the store on Tuesday. Getting it now.

 

[UnluckyKate]

never played any soul. I feel like a deer about to get hunt shoot and cook by a bunch of drunk rednecks

I play hotline miami and the sequel non stop these day. I convince myself they will prepare me for bloodborn, you know, diying a lot and retrying until I get perfect

 

[Crossing Eden]

Why is Gies acting like a child

He raised two very good points. There is a certain contigent of DS players that view themselves as better than everyone else, "casuls." I mean even on gaf i've seen people call others pussies for using a shield, like dude, it's a videogame. Stop taking it so seriously. One of the things I hate the most about the franchise is the fanbase that it created.

 

[bananafactory]

Only for the Gold headset

Pulse elites get screwed again. First Driveclub app, now Bloodborne

Nice support for your premium headset, Sony

From what I gather it's faster, tenser, and forces more offensive gameplay

All I can really say about not getting into Dark Souls is that I have read multiple times on here that a lot of people didn't think much of the game, and some of them benched the game for a few weeks/months. But then, they went back, and it suddenly "clicked".

This was my experience with Demon's Souls as well. Benched the game for a week after trying it for maybe an hour, then I had time to sit down and try it again, and it clicked and I fell in love with the game like nothing else I've played. So that's the best I can say without saying "dude just get it!11!"
