I think the regain system is a way to encourage more aggressive play, which then feeds into learning how to effectively dodge and counter. So maybe?

Lol I'm sorry but I found this super hilarious!
I try to engage them 1v1 or 1v2. Anymore than that and I'm getting overwhelmed. Managed to kill one Marksman, then a damn mutant dog pops up out of nowhere. Command roll to dodge the other marksman on the stagecoach, then turn around just in time to kill the dog. Shot the marksman off the stagecoach then killed him. Guess I'll go through this open corridor on the left....
Or head to this door in the center that has an item in front it, but something on the other side trying to bust it down.
YOLO
Aaaaand still alive. On to the other door.

Ah cool man. Cheers.
I guess I shouldn't be hoarding to much blood until I've unlocked it then because odds are I'll die anyway

You guys arent alone, I spent a good 3 hours last night on this bit gradually learning how to play the game (my first foray in the souls type games).
A great tactic that will save you being over run is to take care of the enemies on the main road then heaf up to the right (up the stairs. Then from there you can run down to the main path and lure them up the stairs three at a time and take care of the. Then you can bypass the sniper at the far end and run up to the opposite flank and take care of the dude on the coach and the wolf leaving you with the sniper at ground level.
Then unfortunately the next area us just as hard. I got what I thought was really far only to get absolutelt battered by a group of rats.....which threw me back at the starting area...
Does anyone have any tips for genuine noobs at these games. I feel like I have formed my own strategies but i dont think they are right...I seem to be almost winging it throug.
Still as hard as it isis, i played the same area for three hours straight, must be doing something right.
Also another silly question, when do I get another checkpoint/save. My nerves cant take It?
Tiny music box when in beast mode -> molotov spam should take care of him. Just be fast and get enough distance to use the music box

Some of Father G's chains are bullshit. You get hit once and then he chains the rest of the combo in while you're on the ground and there's nothing you can do :/

Look for shortcuts to unlock that lead you back to the same lamp.
Holy shit that looks intense as fuck. Can't wait.
Which zone and how do you know it's for sure optional?
There's a doorway near the bottom of the ladder that I almost completely missed.
If it's any comfort - after you beat second boss shit gets easier. More save points/lamps and you can actually explore before meeting the third boss. I felt that I went straight from first to second boss meaning I spent the entire day yesterday in the same area.
So if you guys feel you're stuck in the same beginning area do know that the rest of us was in a similar position. Just hang in there =]

I don't have the game just yet, but from what I've seen there are numerous shortcuts that help you get back to the lamp - take a look around and you should find some. There's one through the house that's adjacent to the big bridge with the wolves. After you kill the

How's the pvp work? Do you have to unlock it?
Had the game since launch, just haven't been able to in a lot of time
Man, this game is almost painful to play after Dark Souls 2 PC. Loading times have been like quadrupled after death, and the fps is killer. Not all negativity from me though, as the extra perf floor has really helped them here, as the levels look awesome as the geometry from scene to scene looks to have trippled over DS1/2 and the textures look a ton better.
Also my monior doesn't support limited RGB so the game looks ultra washed out even on RGB full setting T_T. With this, the Wii U, and the 'bone having RGB issues I need to just cave and buy me a cheapass 1080p thing that's about 20 inches that I can shove into a corner or something....
Also, I've been kinda wandering around all dumbass like with no idea how chaining shots or using the two arms in tandem is supposed to work. Also the cane weapon I started out with seems to have some kind of whip function at random that I don't know how to access. Speaking of which, seriously the person who decided to ship this game without any kind of manual at all needs to be taken out back and be forced to read Atlus Shrugged cover to cover or something, because these little one off note blips on totally new mechanics just aren't cutting it at all.

It's HP regen. You gain HP by +X constantly.
What?
I could just wait and my hp will go back to 100%?
Pressing L1 is how you change it into a whip. Also the white marks on the ground at the beginning gave instructions for controls and how to play. I believe you can also see controls through the start menu.
Click spoiler if you want to know shortcut back to lantern.
Run past the wolves and to the left down the stairs into the house. Open the door down the stairs and go up the stairs outside and open the gate. Back at lantern now with easy access to bridge.

Does anyone know if you can over-level yourself out of helping lower level players like in Dark Souls? I'm doing a lot of coop

Why are guns so incredibly weak and yet apparently supposed to be a staple of your combat flow?
Oh and another thing, just how conservative should I be with ammo and health items? The game seems to be dropping them pretty heavily on me atm, but Dark Souls 2 did the same thing early on with the lifegems before they pretty much just stopped dropping after about 5 hours in.
I tried looking up the controls in the start menu but didn't see them, and sorry, but having to jump between three long ass loading screens just to look at the base controls vs looking at the manual in my lap when needed just doesn't cut it as an excuse. Especially in a game like this where they're treading new ground and expanding the "series" core mechanics so much.

If you time the gunshot right you can stagger the enemy and then run up to them and riposte with R1 for massive damage. This works on bosses too.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
If you time the gunshots perfectly, you stagger the enemy and you can riposte it for massive damage.
So its a fast as a Claymore? If its so, im settled.

Summoned a guy for help and he died 3 seconds after walking into the boss room. Thanks!
I have no idea about this, but doesn't the game have a manual before you start it? Try and press option on the game and see if there's a manual button. I seem to remember that some games have it like this.

Does the damage of the weapon itself not matter for the purpose of staggering?
for interrupting attacks and staggering enemies.
had no problems with all the mobs but these guys were a roadblock. You can avoid them if you want, if you go another route (where it leads to Boss Father G) (hidden drop behind some crates).
Tackled them after i level up a bit and molotoved the first one and fought the other around the fountain (area before the stairs to them). Sideway doging is way better for them instead of going back.
Hahaaa, thanks.
Because your gun is there to be a counter. Just before an enemy attacks with a big swing or something of the same if you shoot them in their startup animation they will be staggered, which if you are close enough, will allow you to riposte them (it's essentially a parry without a shield).

Right before they hit you, shoot and it staggers them. Then you can "riposte" them or do a charge attack. Big guys with the bricks die in one hit with this. (shoot them right before they hit with the brick, they go on their knee > charge attack and it's insta death for them)
Will try this. Almost back there now.
