So....I beat the werewolf in the intro weaponless:

I did the same, should be a trophy

 

[Sullichin]

Finding out all the new info, apparently you can transform your weapon mid swing and it does a new attack

Yeah, there's a ton of combos. Excited to eventually have a big ass endurance bar and experiment.

 

[super-famicom]

Just bought. Now terrified.

If you need any advice, just ask in this thread!

 

[Santiako]

posting this again to see if anyone can help

In the dream, behind the house there is a tree stump. There you can apply skins.

 

[Original Man]

When can I buy the cleaver, this whip really blows

 

[Nyteshade517]

I downloaded my hats for messengers but can't find where to put them on. I want my messengers to be pimps like me with my cane. Where do you put them on?

That's what I'm trying to find out too

 

[Finalow]

Amelia is down , starting to think that using cane is easy mode, will see later.Love it so far.

upgraded to? I have it to +3 and the damage isn't really good.

also still 2 questions,

- where's the enemy that

Spoiler

sends you to the prison?

- is Eileen the Crow fucking bugged? Her event desn't start at the tomb.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Which stats do you guys recommend leveling first? I'm thinking Endurance mainly, but I don't know which weapon stat I should increase first :s

VIT, END and whatever primary stat you want to focus on (STR or SKI or both)

Leave Bloodtinge and Arcane for when you start getting more weapons

 

[Wallach]

I did the same, should be a trophy

I did too after getting a stun on it, but died trying to apply kung-fu to the torch guy outside. I wonder if it is possible to go the whole 9 yards that way.

 

[Typicalrik]

So I know you ring the bell to have some co-op done....but what im not sure of, is how do i help others?

 

[realcZk]

When can I buy the cleaver, this whip really blows

I believe

Spoiler

there's an item you can find in the sewers

that will allow you to buy all the starting weapons from the vendor in the Hunter's Dream.

 

[Teknoman]

When can I buy the cleaver, this whip really blows

Use the whip mode for aoe, cane for cqc. Have a Belmont mindset.

 

[Dominator]

Couldn't you have just played in offline mode?

Is the patch just to enable online mode? If it is then now I'm mad lol

It was over 2GB so I thought it might be wise to download it first before playing.

 

[kevin1025]

If you need any advice, just ask in this thread!

I likely will, thanks! I was TERRIBLE at the Souls games but still enjoy them immensely. I watched the several hour Game Informer stream last night so I have a good idea of what I'm in for, and I couldn't be more excited!

 

[msdstc]

I bought a PS4 for bloodborne (coming from xbox), bought the game digital and downloaded 5.7gb in 4h WTF Sony, and it's not only BB, everything i download takes fucking forever like i bought a ouya or some cheap shit where they limit bandwith to save some money or wtf. I'm so pissed.

download speeds aren't a problem for me. Yet pausing and resuming, that sometimes works for whatever reason.

 

[Revolutionary]

Argh this depth 3 chalice dungeon I created is going to be the death of me. One shot bosses everywhere lol
Up to the 4th level (which I assume is the last) and this thing is destroying me within 10 seconds

 

[Nyteshade517]

In the dream, behind the house there is a tree stump. There you can apply skins.

I looked all around the house and didn't see anything...unless there's a path that hasn't opened for me yet

 

[One-Shot]

Still debating on getting this. I never played the other From games, I am just worried I will get too frustrated to continue playing. I know it's totally different game, but I think of Rogue Legacy where I just keep dying and I just stopped playing.

 

[Jamaro85]

Can't believe Amazon doesnt have enough supply to fulfill a preorder. Not sure I've seen this in all my years of ordering standard editions of games through them. Perhaps this works out for the best with the Target deal though. Unless the messenger skins are that cool.

 

[super-famicom]

I likely will, thanks! I was TERRIBLE at the Souls games but still enjoy them immensely. I watched the several hour Game Informer stream last night so I have a good idea of what I'm in for, and I couldn't be more excited!

Check out the beginner's guide video I posted on the previous page. It just goes over basic mechanics and stats.

 

[Spineker]

Another question, did I screw up my parrying ability by going pistol instead of blunderbuss?

Pistol is better for parry

 

[m_shortpants]

Just bought it from work, used remote play on my phone to start the download. Hopefully should be done by the time I get home.

 

[Nuszka]

If you see a dude with a dildo on his head ,

Spoiler

stay away as his grab attack steals insight

 

[Grisby]

So when can you start leveling up?

 

[kayos90]

I'm super worried about this game.

Reading stuff like

from Michael McWhertor

and watching Patrick Klepek play last night I think it looks fine, but it strips out so much of what I found really interesting about the Souls games.

I liked the jigsaw puzzle of piecing together rings and armour to keep me under 25% equipment burden so I could ninja roll while still bashing the fuck out of dudes with a Divine Claymore after softening them up with lightning miracles. My worry is this game basically makes you play one of a couple ways and you better like it or not.

I think your concerns are totally valid. My statement to you would be "think about it differently." Bloodborne's entire design philosophy is take out anything that's not relevant to melee offense at a quick pace. Because of it, the game is extremely different from Souls. You really can't compare the two and you shouldn't.

 

[Yoshichan]

alright guys, it's happening in 6h 15 minutes

gonna take this time to sleep/take a nap!

SEE YOU ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE

 

[noomi]

I know they said they would patch loading times, I just hope it's sooner than later. It's really one of my only gripes at the moment.

I don't mind dieing 100 times, but waiting up to 40 seconds between deaths is what gets me the most. After I wipe a boss, I want at it again, and again, and again until I beat it.

 

[super-famicom]

So when can you start leveling up?

As soon as you have one level of Insight, you can talk to the doll in Hunter's Dream and start leveling.

 

[Sullichin]

I'm so glad I gave my character bright red goggles

 

[legacyzero]

So can I no longer go back to where I died to pick up the Blood I dropped?? How does that work?

 

[Dusktildawn48]

So when can you start leveling up?

My same question

 

[F0rneus]

upgraded to? I have it to +3 and the damage isn't really good.

also still 2 questions,

- where's the enemy that

Spoiler

sends you to the prison?

- is Eileen the Crow fucking bugged? Her event desn't start at the tomb.

No Eileen for me either and I met her near the sewers. T_T

 

[Teknoman]

Anyone going to use share to upload first play through? I'm trying, but timingshare button presses can get tedious lol. Especially if you die a lot.

 

[darkwing-buck]

What's the consensus on the, "horror" in this game? Is it actually scary? Or is it only creepy once in awhile?

 

[Bluenoser]

Seeing some spoilers in this thread.... :/

Spoiler tags please folks.

 

[Santiako]

I looked all around the house and didn't see anything...unless there's a path that hasn't opened for me yet

It's in the grassy area, you can access it by going around one of the sides, just explore the dream thoroughly and you should see it.

 

[Stone Ocean]

When can I buy the cleaver, this whip really blows

Whip is aweseome, git guder

Seriously though, you can find a hunter badge in

Spoiler

the sewers

behind

Spoiler

the pig

that will unlock all of the starter weapons for purchase at the Dream

 

[super-famicom]

So can I no longer go back to where I died to pick up the Blood I dropped?? How does that work?

An enemy might have picked up your echoes. Look for one with glowing eyes, that's the one you need to kill to get your echoes back.

 

[Teknoman]

Sound advice for any world.

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

Will ask again since this thread goes fast. Are you supposed to coop first boss cause seems like a lot of hp also it tells you about coop right after you died and gives you the bell

I've beaten every boss in the souls series solo. So, I hope not.

 

[Finalow]

so annoying, I can't fucking see my blood echoes left when I die. and I know that enemies can take them, but not bosses.
took me 5 minutes before finding them. :/ I don't know if it's my TV but it looks too dark for me, even at max brightness.

 

[Edzi]

I never got a response to some questions I had, so I'll try again here:

There wasn't a height option in the character creator, right? I just met the Doll and I'm noticing that she towers over me. I'm hoping I didn't accidentally create a dwarf hunter...

Oh, also, what is the icon beneath my blood echoes count for? The eyeball looking thing.

Last question, but how do I download the preorder bonuses? I don't see any options for them in my download list.

 

[Primethius]

HOLY SHIT YES! 3 hours later and I finally beat the second boss.

God fucking damn, this game!

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Ow yeah first dinner and then:

 

[raven777]

question about blood vials and bullets. After I die the vials and bullets are refilled to 20/20. Does it refill automatically from my inventory or do I get back the vials/bullets before I died?

 

[Grisby]

As soon as you have one level of Insight, you can talk to the doll in Hunter's Dream and start leveling.

Where do I get insight?

 

[Teknoman]

What's the consensus on the, "horror" in this game? Is it actually scary? Or is it only creepy once in awhile?

Listen to the screams of the first boss. Its like Silent Hill. The game just wears you down slowly.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Just got home from Best buy.. Just a tip if you cannot find the game in the PS section of the store it could possibly be in the "New Releases" section. It's where they put all the newly released games regardless of platform. Didn't even know BB do it this way.

 

[Seventy70]

My amazon collectors edition didn't come today despite having the release date guarantee. Anyone else in the same situation. Have they been delayed everywhere or something?

 

[JSub11]

I read somewhere in this thread about PS Camera functionality. Can someone explain this?
