To be honest, I gotta agree. Loving Bloodborne, but I also loved finely crafting my build in Dark Souls 1, switching around different parts of armour sets and adjusting my endurance stat to get the perfect balance of defense/poise/speed for what I wanted my character to be. It's still early days, but I feel like I'll miss that level of depth to character building.
oh thats the next boss then, woot
Bloodborne is pretty damn great. It's basically the first game where I continually get startled by enemies jumping out at me, but yet still feel compelled to continue through that stress, because the combat is so fun, and the amazing feeling of discovery and victory is unmatched.
I also gotta give a shout out to Rogue Legacy. I think that game prepared me for this, true shit. I found my self reminiscing about that game while getting my ass handed to me by the enemies my first couple of nights. The way I would continually die before I even reached the boss, but then you see your gradual improvement. Then you reach the boss, and get beat so badly, and then continue to keep dying and dying and dying.
So hears my story on how this game just clicked with me last night. First night I only played a couple hours in the first part, made it up to the 2 mini wolves, got owned, and stopped. Second night I was HYPED. I thought I'd run in there, and take down that cleric beast, no prob. Unfortunately I played for about 3 hours and only reached him once. I didn't totally explore, so the only route I was taking was to run through the mob, and up the stairs. Those 2 wolves completely crushed me. I had no clue what I was doing wrong. I was parrying them, but when they both attacked at the same time, I just got clueless.
Last night that all changed. I started off just strictly exploring instead of going for the beast. I opened up the path that led immediately back to the lamp (was so happy and relieved when this happened), and basically just farmed for levels, and weapon ups. I went back to the 2 wolves, learned how to forward and circle strafe around them, and time my attacks, and I began to take care of them easily. I took out the cleric beast on my 2nd try, and then went straight for Father G, and beat him on my 2nd try as well.
I read in the first OT, that the long load screens with just the Bloodborne sign give you incentive to really contemplate your style, and movements while in combat. I'm not excusing those load times, but I found this absolutely true, for me. I'm really feelin this game.

Thank you so much for your help, Tainted Giraffe! You are awesome, man 
Doing a waste of skin run and so far I killed Cleric Beast, Father G., Amelia and I am on my to get the Katana so I can invade people on low level and kick their asses (Level 20 won't push much further).
Game really shows that experience is everything. I demolish everything in sight and the game feels even easier than my initial playthrough where I leveled and leveled stats to get around some bosses.
Edit:
Invading people in the Cathredal Area and waiting for them in front of the boss door is the best thing ever.

So I'm guessing
. Any spoiler-free thoughts?
this creepy dude in the Cathedral Ward asking me to send him people seeking shelter only has nefarious intentions. I remember knocking on that lady's door and being asked to find her sanctuary, so I'm assuming I can go tell her to head to the chapel, but I don't trust this guy. He's going to do something bad to her. Then again, though... if I don't get anything special for NOT telling her to go, then fuck it, I mine as well tell her

I think it's R2. I have my cleaver level +4 and it stays in the D grade for Strength and Skill so far. Skill based weapons seem few and far in between, but saw spear and cane both upgrade quite nicely with skill bonuses.
For new page. Anyone?
thats the easiest part since he is so vulnerable to gunshot parries in that form

Wow OT2 already.
So I beat
last night but have yet to fight the
.
Man this game has lived up to the hype and then some. It's hard to believe that there might be a better game than Bloodborne this year. Exploring every area with a fine-toothed comb, bathing in the atmosphere, and unlocking shortcuts is just as satisfying as ever with just enough treasure scattered around to keep the hunt interesting. There doesn't seem to be a wild variation on the enemy design as of yet, but that's okay because they all seem to fit the common Gothic theme and make the world seem more coherent. Wandering the streets and listening to the inhabitants of the world through their front door or window just makes the place seem more alive than anything the souls games ever did.
So I beat
Vicar Amelia

Back stabbing the giant pigs feels dirty.

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?
I am playing like a fucking scrub right now. I want to eat my own dick out of frustration. Had it not been for the stream, I would've considered throwing my PS4 out of my window.

Actually there is, I had 10,000 souls lost because an enemy clipped through the floor, I didn't see it and his arm popped through the ground and killed me.
Turned off my PS4 after that.
Go help some one in coop. You get souls with no fear of losing them, and pick up any items that drop too. And if you kill a boss you get some insight!

How do you unlock the elevator, after the two hunchback under the bridge ?
I still havent done any backstab :/
you do it later after you pass the sewers area, its a shortcut to the boss basically

Did you talk to her initially in that secret area in the Central Yharnam sewer (where you get get the cool shake off cape gesture)? If she isn't there anymore (and the sky has gone full on orange sunset or later) then you should be able to to find her by going to Cathedral Ward's lantern, walking directly forward outside, then left.

Depends which direction you came from. He isn't as tough as he looks, dodge the charge attack.
You should be concentrating on proceeding. Opening shortcuts, finding lanterns as a checkpoint, and killing bosses.
Go back to the Hunter's Dream to respawn enemies, and eventually level up, craft, upgrade, buy items. It's your hub world.
