Yeah, Cleric is very weak to
fire, in fact if you hit him with an oil urn first and then throw a molotov, you do tons more damage.

The father had smaller, easier attacks to dodge. He's definitely a much more straightforward fight.

Congrats! What weapon did you use?

A few things....
1) Is clothing as big a deal in this game as it appears to be? I remember reading about being able to adjust your outfits.
2) Anybody get the strategy guide?

So what type of starting stats and build is everyone focusing on so far?
I plan on giving this game a fair shot. Just need to keep at it.
I just preordered the game (EU) and started the preload. Otherwise everything is just dandy, but the game download itself under the download status menu is sized at just a little over 5 gigs? There's the patch in addition at 2.X gigs, but that's like a third of the game at best if the entire download is 2X gigs or something as I've read?
Is the preload really so small or is there something fishy going on here?

I get the game in an hour or so, but I will be choosing the Professional origin and the Threaded Cane. Going for a Skill build.
axe and pistol and starter class is waste of skin.

Played about an hour of the game. First souls game for me. It's hard as hell, but I'm enjoying every second of it.

Seen the DF video. They better fix this or it will severely impact my enjoyment of the game.

Countering with the gun and stabbing someone through the chest. Just MMMMMMMMMMMMM. I actually just moaned out loud it feels so good.
My CE came with it and I finished downloading it. Obviously not gonna listen to it until I finish the game.

Anyone here get the US CE? Interested in seeing pictures of it (steelbook and artbook).
Game install incomplete.
Cannot load save data.
Playing through disc. It seems it's long done spinning. I've lost 15 minutes of my hour and a half I've had to play trying to fix this. I would have had better fate just starting over. Now I only have 30 minutes left. Should I just delete it and re-install and start over. Losing another 15 minutes? =(
Nevermind. It fixed itself. I just had to keep doing the same thin over and over again. Lost 25 minutes of play =\

Lmao!
That's my build. Great for mobs and smaller enemies. So far it seems tougher on larger enemies because of the limited damage output. Also, the cane itself is basically a Rapier which I never liked because it's very tough to use if you're not "locked" on an enemy. Gonna stick with it for now...

Powered through pretty good last night on initial play. The wife decided to watch and was asking me questions and making me miss things and not give the game the proper attention it deserved!
I notice an area behind some breakable boxes and the wife does too. My better judgement tells me to push on but my wife thinking she spotted it and I hadn't urges me to "check it out".
I break the boxes and notice a bunch of corridors below with several small drops kinda looks like a sewer area. A note on the ground says secrets ahead... The wife urges me to continue... I in that moment didn't think that's it's been awhile since I found a 2nd lamppost which the game uses as checkpoints. I didn't think of it because the first one was found quite a ways back....
A good 35-45 minutes lost, and 6000+ blood echoes in a place that nightmare are birthed... I begin the trek back and am over taken stupidly by 3 madmen... "Thats enough Bloodbourne for tonight" as I slowly turn my head towards my wife... She asks what about your souls.... "I said that enough Bloodbourne for tonight"...

I foolishly jump down several levels and am met by a very tall and slender lycan type humanoid. He's fast... I dodge and attack twice... He doesn't die or get very close to death like the madmen walking the surface streets.... I silently begin to regret taking those multiple level drops... Another corner turned and another attacks. He hits me and I notice the health bar drops almost half. I dispatch of him and heal... But that moment of comfort left me as another howls behind me and slashes me twice and kills me...

Please do. Like AkuMifune said above, you just have to learn, prep and even study the game. When you finally achieve victory, you will feel like this:
And then you will be hooked... guaranteed. Trust me, I am struggling as well and I have beaten all three of the others. Can't wait to have that feeling all over again, myself.

I know nothing about any of the Souls games. Never played then, maybe seen 10-15 mins of someone playing. Should I even bother with Bloodborne? All I know is it's hard and doesn't explain much.

Artbook has characters and weapons in it so avoiding those pictures for myself and the thread.

I played a tiny bit of Demon Souls but this is the first time I've really put the effort it.
Just beat the first boss and my hands were literally shaking from adrenaline, I didn't realise games could feel so tense. Just tried to do what you do in fighting games and stay calm, think clearly and don't panic/get cocky. Jesus, such a rush and such a sense of achievement.

Improved load times oooooh yassss
You can aggro just one and get him to chase you (just make sure the other isn't there). It helps to fight them separately. Once down you can circle around to unlock the other gate and skip them on subsequent trips to the bridge.
Maybe there's another way around though, that first area is still a maze to me. It's the best.

Reposting for new page:
In the second link, the guide recommends choosing the Threaded Cane for your starter weapon. I disagree with this. If you are a beginner to FROM games, the Saw Cleaver is a much better choice. Still attacks fast (but not as fast as the cane), but better damage, especially against the first boss. Everyone who chose the cane has been complaining that they can't do much damage against the boss. However; if you can pull off parries with your gun, then the follow up attack with the cane will do decent damage.

Heh, I noticed you watching my stream for a few minutes last night asking about my origin. That's what I'm going too. I like it so far. I will say the damage is lackluster so far. I don't have much basis for comparison, but I hit like complete shit on the first boss. but I like the mobility and the range of the cane.
My first Souls game!
Played for ~45mins enough to collect enough souls to buy first armor set from Dream vendor. I still need to invest few hours into the game just to become comfortable with the combat and traversal. I found out hard way that this game does not have animation canceling.
When you start doing some combat move, that move has to be finished. Also took me a while to find out where can I equip/unequip armor pieces.
I have few questions:
- I just started, where can I upgrade my stats? Is that considered here as "level up"?
- Can I store my XP somewhere before going into Yarnam? I have accumulated some XP and I don't want to endanger it because I want to see can I fight that axe wielding giant. There is nothing that I want to purchase from vendor [and consumables are not cheap anyway]...
- When does the game saves its state? When I just come close to lamp in Yarnam, or when I travel to Hunters Dream? Will everything I do in Dream be saved or I need to travel back to Yarnam for my purchases/changes be saved? I never noticed any savegame logo while playing, and game did not give me tutorial prompt about that.

There is an alternate route to the boss in the fountain area that lets you skip them altogether

Yeah, I took a peek, but quickly shut it off because I didn't want to be spoiled.
And I did see you chose the cane!
