You can get summoned no matter if you have beaten the boss or not.

I'm being premature here. For some reason I thought 2 weeks instead of a month was the OT turnover.

The game isn't that far ahead of dx11 DS2 in terms of visuals. Any lack of extra effects is made up by 60 frames and smooth online play in DS2.
I wouldn't call Bloodborne a souls game though. I'd call it a souls-like, but the combat is pretty different in the souls game in terms of playstyle (a lot of the core concepts are the same). The souls games are slower paced, more build variety, a fantastical setting, more weapon choices, rolling costs more endurance and isn't as fast, drinking a pot isn't nearly as fast as a vial, getting hit is much more punishing in souls as you can't regen, there are more traps and the environment is much more deadly (there's nothing like Sen's Fortress for example, in Bloodborne). There's also environmental puzzles/hidden walls that aren't in bloodborne. Though if you do go an offensive build in Dark Souls the boss fights usually aren't as long as they are in bloodborne. I like that payoff and there's not really a comparison in bloodborne. Also magic is handled way different and you can build a ranged focused character (though imo it's more fun to play melee, I like fooling around with the other builds after I beat the games).

- find the pretty whore in the streets below the cathedral ward and send her to oedon chapel for safety
- dont kill Iosefka until after rom, after rom go to here and finish her off. (or was it after the wet nurse? idk just make sure she's sitting in doggy position on a table instead of walking around).
- find the abandoned workshop and loot it before finishing the game
- backup a save before the final boss instead -i meant in case- anything goes wrong or you need more other endings
- collect all 3 chalices from the optional bosses in the main game (BSB, Ebrietas and Amygdala)

Hmm I'm planning to do this later..I don't plan to leave the area so I just need to make sure to send the elevator up before fighting in case I die?

So I am almost done with platinum-ing BB. After that I don't think I will keep this game, I don't see a lot of replay value for it and I'm much more interested in discussing the rich lore in the game now that I'm familiar with it. Does anyone feel the same? I wish PVP would keep me playing but it doesn't seem like it is fun right now.

Dudes with the bags on their shoulders? Seriously no matter what I upgrade, two hits and I'm dead.
hmm. Guess I've been lucky so far that every time I tried going that way I always sending the elevator back up to save time for the next run.

Finally beat Father G after about 15 tries. I went to bed around 1am last night so frustrated after 10 straight runs at him. Absolutely destroyed him on my first try today. I have no idea why I had so much trouble.
Sometimes you just need to take a break.

Before they rage wait for their general palm strike attack. When the elbow as at its highest point, counter and visceral. You should be able to follow up and take them down while they recover and rage, although some people situate themselves behind and charge attack for another visceral.

DOWN! 
I had no clue you could stop those
I did much better when I found that out.

Nope. She's one of the harder bosses.

I think Martyr is the best boss in the game next to
. The Martyr fight is all about learning the bosses attacks at different ranges, reacting to them, punishing when possible and then
.
, which is tougher than it seems during that phase. I was stuck on him for hours but it was a very rewarding accomplishment to beat him. I was kinda mad at
due to the fact you have to farm for vials in this game if you run out, and I literally fought him 30-40 times before I learned how to beat him. I was so salty after that and was sour on the game for a while. But beating that boss taught me how to parry more effectively pretty much any
enemy in the game, even from the outset, with a new character. Also I learned to change up my weapons if something isn't working. Though it seems like you start with much fewer skill than str weapons during progression through the game.

in the phase where he powers up, putting your parry skills to the test
AOE flying swords is kinda bullshit, but you can just charge at the one in the ground and kill it with one hit

the house right off the bridge with the Cleric Beast. Go in it and go downstairs. That will put you on the right path.
top 5 hardest bosses in the game, imo
Thank you!
I threw myself at her for hours and even though I got all her attacks down she still got lucky shots on me D: Beating her made me shout at the TV.

Oh cool. If you beat Father G before you do Cleric, you can summon Alfred instead of G for the fight.

I really wish there were more sets of armor. I know there are changes to resistances, but there is no new set I received where I thought "wow that's amazing!".
Seems like a bit of a waste to me.

These guys are cake if you do the following:
-Get close and wait for their slow power attack
-Dodge past
-Hit them twice putting them into RAGE MODE
-As they turn red if you aren't already get behind them and HEAVY HIT(R2) + Visceral
DEAD
You can summon a Hunter for that fight 0_o
They hit like mac trucks, but they give so many BEs. :3
No, she's really hard.

There's about 25ish sets I think. My favorite is found in Cainhurst Castle. Knight Set + Cainhurst set combination is so sexy.

Thanks! Running by them is a good option too I guess. Beat a boss soon after so I hope I don't see them much more. We all have our worst enemies in this game. I've been taking down hunters fine but these guys have it in for me.

Yep, if you do Cleric first, you can summon Father G in two different locations depending on if you have the shortcut open or not.
I haven't been able to find a summon for Father G yet though. Still scouring the levels.
Yes. The suspend functionality that came out a couple days after fucked over the game.
