You would rather cheat than play online? Wow.

haha you cherry-pick that comment but ignored the follow-up a few posts down from it?

lol no I haven't tried it yet. Just asking if the patch nuked it and if we can play without patching; I've never tried to play a game on the PS4 with a patch pending and consciously choose to not patch it. So I was amused that I could.

Anyways, people can play however they'd like. Duping, not duping, jump glitching to skip areas, etc.. Whatever makes this game that you've paid for fun to you seems fine to me, though I personally have had immense enjoyment playing through both DeS and DS1 "clean", and look forward to doing the same with Bloodborne especially because making the game too easy through duping would for me break the immersion in its

That was great. The last part gave me some good laughs:

[/But he’s taken inspiration from closer to home, too. “Now I’m president,” he says, “I get to meet a lot of other company presidents. They’re such weird people. I’m fascinated by them.” With a smile, he adds: “I use some of them as enemy characters in our games.”

LOOOOOOOOOL

Yeah, that last part is amazing. I like the cut of his jib. I really want to know which enemies he based on other presidents now. I hope they put out a book like the big Dark Souls art book I have at some point that has interviews with the major figures who developed the game. I feel like this one has some good behind the scenes stories to tell us.

He's not a boss. You can push him off the edge, or you can climb down the ladder again and maybe up again a few times until he falls off if you wanna cheese him.

He is not a boss but very tough to beat at this stage. Best way is that he falls down the tower. He should be standing at the gatling. Rush him and attack with fast hits. He falls off and you get the loot.

People should feel free to play as they like.

And we in return should gently nudge them to play in a way that will maximize their wonder and enjoyment.

But there's no need to be hostile to people asking questions.

There're two heavily implemented mechanics in this game that literally exist to get help from other players. That's a dubious claim.

I believe the inspiration for this game came from when Miyazaki got help from strangers lol. But I guess you'd know better.

A patch? I hope they removed the Chalice Dungeons.
I have finally opened the final Pthumerian one, but the first boss ate my face and I'm too tired to continue today. Worst part of the game, this chalice nonsense is.

Hit her hard and fast with the two handed axe. Aim for the legs alternating which side you're attacking to keep her stun locked almost constantly. Defense is secondary to offense for this fight.
