Im sort of regretting canceling my CE order.

Ebay has the game going at $150. Seems to be sold out everywhere with people having issues getting their preorders to even arrive. It's not too late for me to uncancel since it was already shipped to arrive tomorrow.

But I cant afford it at $105.00.... I could maybe sell the regular for like $65, which would net me $10 since I paid $50 for it, and I would save a Canadian buyer about $20, since new games are $80 total here.

But then I'd have to cough up another $40.

It's just an artbook and steelcase... I can deal with regular...right? :P
You might want to keep it and sell it for a profit. I'm thinking of keeping mine to sell and buy the vanilla version to play. Tough decision. I can't believe the CE version is sold out everywhere.
 
You have to have insight to be able to summon people to your world. You get insight when you reach a boss, beat a boss, and there is an item that you can consume for insight. I'm sure there are other ways as well. You use the beckoning bell to summon someone, which costs 1 insight. Unfortunately, you'll lose 1 insight whether you're successful or not at finding a co op partner.

How do you join other peoples worlds though?
 
check box

camera = set
microphone = set
showered = not yet
patching and downloading = on it's way
taken a shit (last one in 4 days) = before shower

Yoshichan! How was teaching? Did you actually show a documentary? And what's the status on your copy(copies) of the game? Any updates?
 
So where is the second lamp? One thing about these games is if you miss the bonfire/lamp it pretty much sucks. After the lamp at the beginning at the top of the ladder I made my way all the way to some bridge with a ton of dog things that killed me. That was like 3000 souls/whatevertheyarecalled from the first lamp and I didn't see another.
 
Here's a screenshot I took: http://abload.de/img/bloodborne_2015032410deb77.jpg

Fuck I think I'm gonna delete my save just to be sure. I don't want to get banned because From'll think I'm some hacker or something. I super OCD about that kind of stuff. Goddammit I was hoping someone would know what this shit is.
Crazy talk, you're fine. I think it's just a messenger skin (a ribbon for the hologram people that show on the messages you can write). Regardless don't worry about your save, you did nothing wrong. These games usually have tons of items and the Wiki isnt complete day 1! You probably just got a rare drop.
 
Pretty sure it's a locked 30. Don't take my word on that, though.

The load times are VERY long. They will be patched soon though.

Locked 30, not even close. I'd say outta 10 minutes it drops a few framers every 4 mins or so of you are making progress. They aren't severe drops but you can feel them happening for sure.
 
This framerate is really disappointing, People said it was fine... liars.

Game is pretty awesome otherwise though.
 
I have a few questions for people that bought the CE.

Does anyone have pictures of the plastic insert and the spine of the steelbook? Also, do you need a ps4 to redeem and download the soundtrack? Can you download the songs to a pc?

I don't have a ps4 yet but would like to buy the game anyway. I'm thinking of getting a CD printed with artwork and burning the OST to it. I'll change the plastic insert of the steelbook to one that holds 2 discs as well.

Of course this depends on whether I can burn the soundtrack download and what kind of case they used for the steelbook :P

I just got past those guys. If you must know
there is a shortcut that leads to the first lamp right after those things

Yeah, the framerate is assuredly not a solid 30. It's fine though.

It chugged a LOT more when the game was still installing but still let me play, though.
 
Jesus everytime in a souls game. I die a dozen times in a row at a boss. Take a break, come back and beat it first try.

Happened to me with the first boss due to being utterly annoyed with the camera, as well as getting hit by attacks that were not even touching me, but the second boss was killed first real try. On my first actual attempt I ended up rolling and getting stuck inside some geometry and there was no way out.

Also, for those that love the longsword or BSS moveset from Dark Souls...

Digital Foundry showed that the game stays at 30fps the majority of the time. The problem though is the way frame pacing is handled, and it makes the game feel like it's way below 30 the majority of the time, even if it's technically not.
 
Yoshichan! How was teaching? Did you actually show a documentary? And what's the status on your copy(copies) of the game? Any updates?

I went from 100% battery to 8% in 5 hours with an iPhone 6 Plus.

That should say how much teaching I did today, in comparison to how much I spent on GAF :lol
I mean, 92% on an iPhone 6 Plus pretty much confirms how much teaching went :lol

My copies of the game are all delayed to Friday (got an email). What a joke of a company. Never again. I do however the digital version now (currently downloading)! Stream will be live as scheduled, in 7h and 35 minutes! I am so, so fucking hyped.

Stats-wise anything I should consider? No interest in a perfect character, but don't have the patience to invest in stats that are utterly useless). Strength, Endurance, I guess?

(First area, using the Cleaver/Pistol, forgot my profession, could be Lone Survivor, though)

You need the small resonant bell. Very minor spoilers:
I hear you have to have 10 insight to get the bell, but i'm not sure if that's true. I did have 10 when I got it. It's in the Hunter's Refuge. There's one of those bath messenger shops(not the main one) It's located kind of in front of the house where you upgrade your weapons. It's kind of easy to miss, at least it was for me. It does cost 1 insight to buy.
 
Was able to beat the first boss on my first attempt, only needed to use 16 vials to heal myself as I took it down. No big deal.

Also I was dicking around in that sanctuary place and ended up killing
Gharnef [old man in wheelchair]? Will he come back or did I screw up?

Lol wtf? This is the weirdest reaction to getting a rare item that I've ever seen.

Makes me want to give you a dramatic slap and say: GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF.
Everyone get in line

Did you get it in the same place? I don't think it was there when I killed the enemy. It's like it just appeared out of nowhere like a glitch.

jesus christ man you're making me nervous. Do you seriously think you can find stuff in the game you can get banned for?

Ok thanks. I don't mind figuring out most things in these games but replaying areas repeatedly because I don't know if I missed a lamp/bonfire is tiresome. Was hoping to see some messages alluding to it on the ground but never did.

Thanks. Once you get the bell is there a limit to how many times you can use it?
 
The 3GB day one patch was bad enough, but then finding out the pre-load only downloaded around a sixth of the game is infuriating. Im generally a fan of going digital but stuff like this is just bullshit.

You're not looking for a lamp right now, but some shortcuts. It's like 30 seconds (including fighting enemies) to the first boss from the Central Yharnam lamp with the right shortcut unlocked.
 
Poor college student who just traded up to get Bloodborne reporting in.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are two of my favorite games of all time. Have been relatively reserved in terms of media regarding Bloodborne. Here we go.

OH MY GOD I CAN'T CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT FDSKLAFJDASLKB
 
Love the game. Except for the loading screens.. They are stupidly awful. Really hope the next patch fixes this. You'd think PS4 would handle this much better. :/

At least add a more interesting loading screen!.. Wonder why they went against tradition and just show title here. :(

It keeps downloading past those 5.9 GB in the background.
 
From what I understand, you must have 10 insight to access the messenger pool that has those online interactive items. However if you drop below 10 insight, you lose access to it, until you get above that threshold again. It's also where you can get unique armors from bosses.

Vitality and Endurance for sure. You can go with either Strength or Skill, depending on which weapons you like to use.

Bloodtinge if you shoot a lot, Arcane if you throw Molotovs often. But these two should be secondary; go for Vit/End/Str or Skill first.

I was always a Long Sword guy ever since Demons Souls. I'm leaning towards Kirkhammer, but I cant see ever using the hammer transformation. I'm not a fan of the "big/heavy" weapons in the souls games.

Also, it doesnt matter which class you pick, you get to choose your weapons from the start right?

As a sawblader (chose violent past) shd I keep focusing on strength?
