Are the loading screens still just the Bloodborne logo?

Yes

 

[TimeEffect]

Now this is so awesome best part of my Collectors Edition:

Does it work well?

 

[Zaventem]

Omg, Canada Post and Amazon said the game arrived an hour and a half ago but it's nowhere!

Maybe it arrived at your post office?

 

[Rhaknar]

whats up with the preloads on PS4? the game is supposed to be downloaded, on my downloads screen nothing is happening, but when I press Options on the game on my PS4 main screen, and choose information, it says 13.29/29.88gb, and its been slowly rising

anyone knows whats up with that?

 

[Giriath_89]

Also, what is the

Spoiler

Red Jeweled Brooch?

It's a sad story.

 

[ScottSullivan]

Will I find weapons and armor in the world or should I be purchasing the new weapons from the dream?

 

[Big Chungus]

trying to decide if i should keep upgrading my saw cleaver or switch over to saw spear.

 

[ttocs]

Yeah...and he was asking about the

Spoiler

badge, not the cape.

Haha, so I was wondering why you were trying to correct something that wasn't inaccurate.

Ah, shoot, really? I totally confused that. My bad.

 

[N° 2048]

I am absolutely terrible at this game. Took me like 10 mins to figure out how to equip weapons. Now I'm in Yharnam just killing the same stuff over and over until I get ganked by the ritual dudes lol. I've avoided the brute with the cleaver, he decapitated me once already, fuck that guy

Sounds like me rofl

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Decided to take a chance in this. I haven't played the series and often do t like hard games. But I uaw more patience when there's coop, and can sell it for a profit likely of I hate it since I have GCU to get it for $48 plus tax.

Not sure I'll have much time to play tonight or tomorrow night though.

 

[Primeau31]

Wait, I just got past that boss and never found that girl. Where is she at?

Spoiler

You have go near the sewers via the route past the where the dogs' cages are - in the area where the female hunter npc is.

don't drop into the sewers. run along where the two snipers are and go far right down the far side - you'll see a ladder going up. drop down to the platform and climb the ladder and you'll be on your way to the last shortcut in central yharnam.

 

[Ziek]

So after the second boss....

Spoiler

Am I not supposed to kill the hunter at the minigun yet? When I get to the top of the ladder he just shotguns me off every damn time.

 

[Dr.Thunder]

What's the best starting weapon for a skill based character? I'm new to Souls and picked "Professional" as my starting class, but went with the Axe and Blunderbuss. Which sounds like probably a bad idea in hindsight. I only played up to the first check point. Is it worth just re-rolling and selecting other options if I'm going skill focused?

Also, just so I'm on the right page. A skill focused character would be higher in speed but do less damage? That sounds more of my style.

Probably the cane since it has a skill modifier. Alhough I have not tried the others yet. I assume the axe is str and the saw is middle of the road.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

YOU HUNTED feels really satisfying.

How do you get that message? Invading?

 

[GenericBadGuy]

What item? Can you point me into the direction? and thansk i'll give it a shot

About halfway through the sewers

Spoiler

youll find a ladder leading up to a small area with a troll guarding another ladder that leads up to a shortcut back into a previous area. There at the shortcut is a window you can interact with. Make sure to read the item description of the thing you get.

 

[genjiZERO]

I'm headed out to pick it up after work.

Question:

in Demon's and Dark my first playthrough I played offline. I did this because I felt it made the overall atmosphere better and made it more engrossing.

Can I do that with Bloodborne too?

 

[Stiler]

Can someone tell me how you leave messages/rate them?

The button prompt looks like no button I have ever seen before. It isn't x/triangle/square/circle or any shoulder buttons.

I tried pushing up (ended up using my health for the ammunition thing), all the trigger buttons (wasted my ammunition yay).

Can't for the life of me figure it out.

 

[HairyMonster]

No need to carry it around.

cheers, is overcomered a thing in bloodborne?

Also is it a safe bet to upgrade vitality, endurance and strengthen early game?

5GB is the minimum to start playing...the rest downloads in the background.

 

[Weevilone]

Argh, Amazon Prime is delivering mine on Wed. So much for release day delivery.

Korean version

 

[Jarrod38]

Really temping to buy a PS4 with the Last of US code and along with this game. Don't know what to do though.

 

[FlyinJ]

I've used 8 insight so far over 5 hours and haven't gotten a single summon into my game. They should give you your insight back if no one joins. I'm starting to think matchmaking is broken

Yes, the first thing you do at the title screen is select Play Online or Play Offline.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

No idea I'm not from you know 1860
Also have on interest in ever using it, but hell it looks awesome.

You have to use the Notebook Item while online. Put it on the personal effects quick select with the right side of the touchpad. Make sure you are online.

Press the touchpad on the left side to rate good and right side bad.

 

[OnionPowder]

Pre-order on March 2nd from Amazon won't be delivered until the day after release even with prime. First and last time I ever use Amazon for a pre-order.

 

[Ziek]

yeah, idk man. i even parried him and barely scratched the dude. i stay away lol

Did you keep going past him? I have to stop now for class. Just want to know when I get back.

 

[Yoshichan]

Since my 30gb won't be finished when the game opens up, the downloading in the background will affect the quality/performance of my stream right?

 

[Drewfonse]

So....,cleaver or axe as my starting weapon?

I'm a vet of the souls games, just FYI

Aaaww come on now I had that all along, thanks xD

 

[Morning Star]

So did anyone have any luck finding the CE without a preorder.

 

[Nose Master]

Second stage of boss 2 what to do? He's too damn fast for me to throw fire on him and his attacks knocks me down followed by a combo that can basically kill me off. Just lost all my health potions so now I gotta farm that as well .____.

Gun parries blow him up. Like, 1/4 health.

 

[Raxious]

after 2,5 hours finally took down the first boss. What's a good build to work to as a strength character?

 

[Shmeagatory94]

Need some advice after first boss!

Spoiler

Should I now be collecting blood echoes until I get 10000 so I can buy that church scarf or whatever it is? Or should I just go on exploring?

 

[Conezays]

So how to shake off your cape? Anybody? Thanks

 

[kevin1025]

The cane was a bad choice.

I made it to Cleric Beast with only two (three if you include the bare-fisted werewolf brawl) deaths...which I found surprising. I got Cleric to 25% health and then he went bananas on me. That's a lot of cane strikes, for those counting, lol.

 

[Ziek]

So....,cleaver or axe as my starting weapon?

I'm a vet of the souls games, just FYI

Axe has been really easy so far. I don't use the 2H version much.

 

[Reebot]

Yeah,

Spoiler

go down the stairs instead of up outside cathedral to the right. (where the big axe guy is pacing.) When you get to the bottom there is a church with a tomb in the middle. Go around to pull lever to move tomb. Go down - that's old yarnham. Kill the boss there and the workshop opens.

Spoiler

Did all that too! I thought you had to beat the Blood Starved Beast before the other two.

Any idea on where to go next?

Cane/chain+pistol=OP

It shouldn't affect the quality of your stream that's entirely dependent on your internet. It may affect actual game performance, but in my experience there's minimal impact from playing while something installs, maybe the occasional hitch.

I wouldn't worry about it.

A hidden npc gets you the gesture.

No luck with a pre-order rn
