Silly question, but you save the game by touching a lamp, right? Or do you have to return to the dream?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Welp amazon only just shipped my order and it's not arriving until tomorrow. Not gonna have a chance to play until next week now.

That best buy gamers club looking better and better...thinking about switching over my MGSV preorder now....

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

That's a real shame. Is it really that long?

I'd say half that, like 40 seconds. Still real long, just not a minute and a half long.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Anyone get stuck in a corner or something of the like? Got stuck inside the house after the werewolves....between the two bookshelves.

yup. happened to me when i fell from the rafters onto a coffin. i just used the hunter's mark to get back to the lamp post.

 

[onimushroom]

Have we figured out yet what the trigger is to allow you to purchase the other weapons? Died to Cleric and want to try something different.

I think it's the items you get after beating bosses that enable you to buy more stuff at home base.

The game autosaves all the time. No need to actually do anything.

 

[serenewarfare]

People last night were able to buy the other trick weapons without even passing the first boss, so that doesn't seem right.

There should be a door downstairs that you can open. The other one opens from the outside.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

It's auto-saving constantly.

You can never warp back to where you were exactly.

Whenever you go back to the Hunter's Dream, you can only teleport back to the lanterns. Whenever you do this, all of the enemies respawn (except bosses). It's like the bonfires in Dark Souls. Anytime you would use a bonfire, it "refreshes" the area.

You will go through areas multiple times. Only go back to the hunter's dream when you have something you need to do, ideally fortify weapons or level up. That way, when you go back to the area, you are stronger and it's easier to make it through. You'll start to memorize the areas because you'll play through them a lot, so subsequent runs become easier just because you'll learn attack patterns and enemy placement.

Hang in there!

alrigjht thanks. I just assumed it was a lantern because it has the same creepy guys and warp to Hunter's Dream. On the bright side I bought a bunch of molotovs, at least it's not like I lost a shitload of souls (or whatever they are called on this one)

I think this gap between lanterns is a little too long though. They sure do tease you in the beginning by making two lanterns like one minute apart from each other in the very beginning

Just got the

[Conscience Falls]

I chose to believe the long load-times were built into the game in order to give the player a brief respite from the game before being pulled back in.
That, and bathroom breaks.

 

[Filthy Casual]

I'm dying to watch people stream Bloodborne but I don't want to spoil it for myself :/ It's everywhere on Live from PS.

 

[IAmRandom31]

About emotes, try holding X and shaking the control.

Oh shit that's cool

Do a down motion and he sits. I tilted back and he waves. Sweet!

 

[HORRORSHØW]

The hats for the floor messenger guys? You need to go to the PS Store to download it first. Then go to the Hunter's Dream behind the building. See here.[/QUOTE]

oh shit. thanks for this.

 

[Hoje0308]

has anyone tried killing alfred? i wonder if he has any goodies. i'm just going around butchering npcs.

If the previous games are any indication, those NPCs may be valuable later in the game. You're taking a huge gamble.

 

[Veggy]

Constantly auto saves, just make sure you don't turn off your console while in game, always quit or it could corrupt your save file

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Anyone care to help me on the 2nd boss?

That's what I've done as well.

To be honest though I don't even notice the load times, I just check GAF on my phone or something each time I die

Gyula, the gatling gun dude

extremely hard. I have been just trying to avoid all the enemies and dropping from a ledge (which I need to heal afterwards) just to get to the fight faster after dying. Any tips?

That's where I'm at and he's no joke lol

probably easiest to just try and make him fall off :/

Looking at Lone Survivor or Violent Past.

OK, weird. Nevermind then.

 

[esmith08734]

Anyone have a copy of the soundtrack they'd be willing to part w/? I am not sure if it's attached to the disk, though. Let me know.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Cleaver or axe?

 

[antitrop]

Motherf$#&#$"%"#$"#& finally beat the first boss, first try but getting there took like a million tries haha

I just got to him, but I'm gonna take a little break, because the game makes me really tense and stressed. I also died about 30 times on my way to him.

 

[mellow]

So should I

send people to the oedon chapel?

Spoiler

I sent one to the clinic instead..went there to check on them and yeah..I think I'll be sending them to the chapel in the future, there's definitely foul play going on at the clinic, dat ominous laugh. although the NPC at the chapel doesn't look too friendly himself

 

[MattyG]

Goddamn, this is good.

Two questions; how do you level up (don't spoil it if that's a spoiler. I only just

Spoiler

unlocked the shortcut back to the lamp in central Yharnam.

)

And should I be fortifying my starting weapons? Or should I save the blood crystal things for later weapons?

 

[Steel]

One more time: for Skill build, which is better?

Pistol. Quick, has range does decent damage. Blunderbuss sucks.

 

[todahawk]

I'm afraid.



edit: hold on here, look at this quote:

I mean, I'm 10gb over his 12gb. I should be fine!!

Yep, should be!
I've had other games where that wasn't the case but I was able to play Bloodborne last night and I was only at 12gb. BTW I got a notice that I wouldn't be able to play online because I didn't have the full install... But my download finished while I was at work today

Good luck and have fun!

 

[Conezays]

Enjoyment has risen the more I get into the game. Don't know how From Software knocked it out of the park four times in a row, but they did.

 

[F0rneus]

kills me way to fast to be a race. Once the poison comes out there's nothing I can do. I die in seconds, even with the Black Church Set

 

[WheelHoss1]

Cleaver or axe?

All my friends say Axe is OP.

Edit: Obligatory Top of Page Commendation.

 

[Astral]

Omg I didn't know quitting the game without getting your Blood Echoes back meant you lose them! I just lost 15k and of course it happens when I beat the boss.

This!! The game gets Better and better

 

[JambiBum]

Second fight is so much easier if you actually get someone to answer your summons. When he changed to beast form I used the music box and we both just destroyed him

 

[ironcreed]

Nearly beat Father Gascoigne on the first try, but he did a beast mode Mike Tyson combo on me and ruined that near victory. But he is a lot more doable than Cleric Beast.

 

[Randam]

Where do spare heal items and bullets go?

And how do I parry the first boss?Did it once.

 

[dreamlock]

Good luck tonight for EU folks that will be able to play. Got work tomorrow so won't stay up unfortunately. It's going to be a looooong day

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Took me a few tries but finally beat the Cleric Beast. =D

Good evening, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Threaded Cane?

 

[Pinktaco]

Start at old town: I walked off the edge, further down and killed a couple of monsters. Now there appear to be no way up ?
There was a hooded monster I just killed, maybe I shouldn't or am I dumb and cannot see a ladder?

 

[TheRealTalker]

Ugh I should stop trying to kill every single guy I see -_-


they just gang up out of nowhere

Waste of Skin is the only real option!

Honestly id go with the most balanced stat wise of the two, there is no telling which weapon you end up liking the most.
