Gathered up all my NG+ notes, see if this helps anyone at all.

NG+ note #1: The regular Yharnam enemies give around 40 echoes. The same enemies give around 850 echoes in NG+.

NG+ note #2: Blood Vials cost 900 echoes.

NG+ note #3: Insight cost is still the same in the store.

NG+ note #4: Environmental hazards do not scale on you or the enemies. Example: if the enemy stands in fire in NG, it deals 30 damage to him. It'll still be 30 damage on NG+.

NG+ note #5: Crystal Lizards (or whatever they're called in this game) do not scale their loot.

NG+ note #6: All the runes that you've already gotten are replaced with Madman's Knowledge.

NG+ note #8: Having trouble with the frenzy debuff? Sedatives are purchasable in the regular shops in NG+! (5,6k each, so pretty much free at this stage).

How do you access all of your saved share content. I keep getting "cannot upload to youtube", and I can't select any screenshots to even try uploading them.

 

[Apathy]

stop assuming people that think the game is TOO obtuse want hand holding or giant arrows. there is a midterm, nobody is asking for COD corridors with point a to point B.

Also just the fact that you say that "going to forums and asking what to do" is a good thing is mind boggling, im sorry that is not good game design, and I love the series

It's the same feeling i got wheni was a kid and going to school aftera new game came out and we would talk about it amongst friends and talk about what secrets we found and how to do different things in the game. We didn't the internet to do it and now we do so we cone online and talk on GAF about it. Posting on a forum to ask a question or talk about secrets is the new schoolyard conversions we used to have when I was a kid. It is a good design, sorry you don't like it.

What does Bloodtinge do for the Katana?

It has damage scaling for Bloodtinge. The Damage on it is Half Thrust, Half Blood.

At +10 with 30 Str, 25 Skill, 25 Blood, and 40 Arcane mine has:

E Str, B Skill, S Blood, D Arcane.

Physical ATK: 184 +226
Thrust +226
Blood ATK: 184 +249

Gems: 2x Physical ATK UP+ 18%, 1x ATK UP +9.1%.

The +Physical ATK gems add to both Physical and Blood ATK.

It's 1H mode uses the Physical ATK and gets +scaling from Str and Skill. The 2h Blood Mode adds in the +scaling from all 4 stats, but Arcane adds next to nothing to it and is pretty crap. Bloodtinge scaling on it is extremely good (and I need to level mine up).

Edit: Correcting myself.

Overall story question

Spoiler

so Bloodborne actually is a cthulhu mythos set in Victorian Londonish?

Too creepy.

Yeah, so far that seems about right. I don't think I've ever played a game that has SUCH an increasingly palpable sense of doom and ill omen. What I found the creepiest above all was that

Spoiler

(as evidenced by the invisible hands that can grab you at certain times) the horrible creatures all over the buildings have actually been there all along, you just couldn't see them

Delete some of the upload notifications to make room, it should work afterwards. Happened to me too. To access it go to Library, then applications and you should see an app called Capture Gallery.

Exactly. You are supposed to stumble around and hit walls as you play. That is part of the design. You study, contemplate where you screwed up, discover, overcome and move on. These games are like a journey and that is what makes them unlike anything else.

99. Seem the blood vial price is not dymanic in NG+ (and upwards) though. It's been "stuck" at 900 despite being level 90, or 140. Or insight 10, or 99.

but we're not talking about secrets, we are talking about needing to do it simply to go from A to B. Zelda games have the same type of water cooler talk for example, but with much more defined goals ( consider the Souls game modern, mature Zelda games tbh). But thats alright, im not going to argue about it, you think what you want, and Ill think what I want. if thats ok with you of course, unless you are the holder of all things true

I love the enemy designs in the game but I really like the designs of these guys. I think it's a combination of the area they're in, their animations and design and just the way they patrol the areas.

Fantastic stuff.

I tried ringing my bell for help and didn't get any, but when I rang to be summoned I usually got summoned to a new world pretty fast. It's definitely glitchy on the asking for help end.

You need to open both Cathedral gates, the Hunter's Mark one and the other one. I couldn't use the resonant bell until I had done so.

For the blood rock it says you can take an elevator at the mergo lift lamp and jump out at the window. Are they talking about the small cage elevator or one of the large elevators? I don't see where I can jump from either, though.

Eh, I haven't been lost as to where to go. The game certainly hasn't presented me with anything that made me go online and check where to go. And I feel like I'm pretty close to beating the game.

So, maybe, it's a problem at the player level?
