So what kind of variety in builds is there?

It appears like there's very little? So if it's not weapon/gun combo, it's nothing?

 

[Dahbomb]

Can someone please remind me where the lady who wants a safe place is? I completely forgot and don't wanna wander around everywhere.

She is near the area with the dog cages.

 

[Noobcraft]

Got my CE today (Best Buy shipped it!) and can confirm that I will die a lot lol.

 

[Spoo]

Shoot them when they are mid swing with their attacks

Yeah, Stone is correct, and these guys, I wait until the move they use is the stationary one where they put the axe over their head (which is the timing). If they do jump attacks or run at you, dodge instead.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Making progress now and I'm really getting back into the groove. I'd say this game is considerably different from the Dark Soul's, at least, where it will take time understanding the core gameplay again and mastering it. Feels like Demon's Souls all over again.

The path near the laughter house filled with dog cages, accross the bridge once you go down

Second boss was so fun to fight...until the second phase.

 

[Toxi]

Man, I am so bad at this. I get to the fountain square and then just lose momentum and get dogged to death.

I love the game.. but I am really frustrated at the infrequency of spawn points. I'm still near the first spawn point and I get to these two large wolves and keep dying... then I have to trudge all the way back through the level to die again.

There's a way around the wolves.

Spoiler

Go left in the big fountain courtyard instead of right. Next to the snooty NPC woman there's a path hidden by some wooden debris you can roll through.

Across the bridge from the dog cages in Central Yharnam.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I threw mine into storage honestly.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing so far. I'll just save them until I really get stuck somewhere, I guess.

 

[GorillaJu]

Holy crap

Spoiler

Vicar Amelia on my second try, I'm on a roll!!!!

Man some of you absolutely suck at using spoiler tags. You don't quote anything, you don't give any hint as to the contents of your spoiler. Do we need a YT tutorial vid on how and when to use them?

 

[Tiktaalik]

Hrm well I'm in the first area and I've found myself in this catwalk type area along with an NPC. It seems like I have no where to go now. Do I jump down somehow or will I dramatically injure myself?

I have an item to warp back to the start while retaining my blood echos. I'm almost inclined to use it...

Any thoughts? This area is just past the dog cages.

I'm seeing a bit of variety thanks to the weapon transformation system. Quick shortsword/greatsword swapping, etc. But I am a bit worried about this too since the build variety was the biggest draw for me in the previous games.

There we go. Thank you. I just lost Echoes looking for her.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Are you supposed to be able to gun parry the Cleric beast? I can't get the timing

 

[indigo-cyclops]

To be fair there's not much there to be spoiled, but I understand your point.

 

[Kama_1082]

Holy shit!! I beat cleric beast on my 2nd try!! Did I miss a trophy though because I went to post my screenshot on Twitter?

 

[th4tguy]

ugh, so wish I had this. Sitting here with an empty PSN wallet drooling over streams.

 

[hitsugi]

This patch is never going to finish... What the fuck. 2.14 of 2.7 gigs with 8 hours to go. Any suggestions?

 

[Spoo]

Holy hell, I feel like I'm finally "getting" it in Bloodborne now, though. Took like 2, 2 and a half hours to UNLEARN Dark Souls 2 reactions to combat.

Can't be overstated enough: You have to be an aggressive motherfucker guys. If you get hit, don't dodge or roll or runaway unless you absolutely know you're going to get hit for fatal damage; take it, and get that health right back by using quick attacks. As long as you do this and nail the timing on parry big enemies, you'll breeze through the (early) areas I feel (there are some nasty enemies that don't show up much you have to be wary of though -- steer clear from "unique looking" things until you aren't holding on to too many souls. Or whatever they're called now.

Left before the sewer entrance.

 

[TimeEffect]

Guys, what's the DLC code amazon sent for? Is it the hat thing ?

 

[naib]

Finally got patched up and my dumb ass has been in the character creation bit for almost an hour. Now wife and kids almost home from soccer practice. Shit.

She knows what I'm up to though. She's going to create some space/time for me. Good woman.

 

[Noobcraft]

I just started playing while it downloaded. Got my character made and started the game.

 

[Chance Hale]

I'm bummed you don't hollow in Bloodborne, loved seeing my character in such a horrid form

 

[indigo-cyclops]

You could play without it and then let it finish overnight...

 

[super-famicom]

It's been 12 hours since my copy from Amazon has been "out for delivery." I've just been reading this thread all day and reading everyone's post. I really should have just bought the digital version. Fuck UPS.

 

[hitsugi]

I just started playing while it downloaded. Got my character made and started the game.

So it will keep downloading in the background? It asks me if I want to start without updating which made me paranoid that it would cancel

 

[Dominator]

Just unlocked the shortcut between where you start out and the bridge. Basically I've done the path that was in the alpha. Holy shit either my skills worsen (I haven't played a Souls game in a couple of months) or they've really gone all out because I died a lot times when in the alpha I only died one time getting to the bridge.

Loving it so far.

Where is it, I'm desperate lol

 

[Vaudeville Villain]

Where do I go to spend the blood echoes for experience?

 

[TimeEffect]

What does pressing up do? I cant remember the effect. Takes my health away and does something but what is it?

 

[OneEyeTwoHead]

Second boss was so fun to fight...until the second phase.

Ya that is crazy.

 

[zewone]

Okay so I just fought the

Spoiler

blood starved beast

and I just randomly died without being hit. Is this a bug or something that is supposed to happen?

Yes it keeps downloading in the background.

The hunters den. Talk to the doll on the road up to the house

 

[kamorra]

After waiting all day for the game to unlock and another hour in the character editor I have to stop playing now because I'm too tired. Fuck me.

 

[DNAbro]

Where is it, I'm desperate lol

right past those werewolf things, take a left after them into this house area.

 

[commish]

Man load times are so brutal. Dying sucks simply because of the loading.

 

[hitsugi]

Yes it keeps downloading in the background.

Should be in the OT or something that is the best news. Thank you!

 

[Khayam]

Yoshi is a fucking beast at this game.

Who's Yoshi ?

 

[ike_]

It seems like one of the bigger complains about DS2 was the overwhelming number of humanoid bosses. This game seems to have overcorrected that

Spoiler

with a ton of somewhat similar beast/quadruped bosses

.

Bosses have been really fantastic so far so though hopefully I am just simplifying things here.

 

[LogicStep]

First boss keeps pushing my shit in.

 

[hwateber]

Does the TouchPad do anything in this game? I'm sitting at work imagining the controls and I just realized I never even tried it

 

[DieH@rd]

Where do I go to spend the blood echoes for experience?

You need to die once [or win] at Cleric Beast. Then puppet girl in Hunters Dream will wake up. You can purchase stat upgrades from her.

Does the TouchPad do anything in this game? I'm sitting at work imagining the controls and I just realized I never even tried it

One side of touchpad is for gestures, the other side for non-combat items.

 

[RustyNails]

Jumping in for the first time!

 

[sephi22]

If I stagger someone with bullets does changing weapon into 2 hander before critting do more damage?

 

[Tiktaalik]

Any thoughts? This area is just past the dog cages.

Ok well turns out you can jump down from quite a height. The baddie down there killed me instantly tho...

 

[Phatmac]

Second boss is brutal holy crap

 

[Finalow]

I'm trying to farm the enemies with the bag for twin shards but fuck they one-shot me, also the drop rate isn't really high. I get normal shards most of the time.

any better place to farm those?

 

[DZ_b_EZ]

Bought the game this morning before work only to realize I only have 49GB left of storage 😐😑😢
