I agree with you. "Extremely easy" to me, is Super Mario Bros. level 1-1 with invincibility and all pits filled in. Bloodborne can be learned and then beaten at a good pace but extremely easy it is not.

I wouldn't say that. The dodge mechanic is making it seem like it's easy because now instead of sitting there praying your shield holds, you can go on the offensive. The game is still punishingly hard and is a worth entry to the Souls brand.
This is the wall which vanished, the room contained 2 small-medium chests on the left and one small chest the wall was located in a straight line from the entrance.
This was the room after the wall with the chest and small loot mobs, i left one on screen for show so you know i am not trolling

okay Undead G in chalice 3 can gtfo.
i'm out of blood vials.

the L1 transfrormation, you see bolts of lightning surrounding the mace.
late reply but to me it means "people in the world of Bloodborne that have chaged into animals." If it says darkbeast Paarl for example, it is a beast. I would guess this excludes aliens, ghosts, people, insects even. I used the blood gem in quesion I think for quite a while, before the enemies changed to things besides BSB and Amelia etc. I dont think I got until after these obvious opposrtuities though.
I agree, granted there are a lot of achilles heel tricks to use in Bloodborne, but the base difficulty is as high as ever and people are not doing as well at SL4 runs as we did with the other games.
Fast dodging isn't exclusive to Bloodborne, and those games were harder.

Yeah, as someone who didn't play Demon's Souls or Dark Souls I and II, I'm kinda let down by how straightforward Bloodborne is after all the hype. It was a bitch at first, sure, but once you get the hang of things it's quite easy to power through.
This game is in no way "easy in general". Once you learn the rules of the game, and have a bit of patience, it's certainly managable. But I would never tell an uninformed person looking for a good time that Bloodborne is a game they should pick up before they knew what they were getting themselves into. It's not easy.
Please. You know what I meant.

Wow so some of the walled off door's can actually be invisible doors if you walk up to them... kind of tedious to try that for every one... but cool.

I don't know. I am a Souls vet and my experience so far has been reasonably difficult. I do still have a ways to go so that could change, just beat VA as the most recent boss. So far I find it has been one of the more difficult in the series.
it had no shape of a door what so ever on the wall before i hit it just bricks like all the other in the room

They're like illusionary walls in Dark Souls or Demon's Souls. You have to hit them to break the illusion.

Guys, all Souls games are easy. I play them a lot and know all the tricks so I can beat them easily now.
But how do you find them? Are there any visible signs to look for? Just wait for a guide? Or go around and hit every wall in the whole dungeon?

Raise the proper stats in order to equip the item.
By leveling up and increasing the required stat
Someone beat the game in 45 mins haven't you heard? Easiest game of all time. 93 Metacritic is too good for this game.

This was was way harder than Dark Souls for me. Like, WAY harder.
raise your stats the ones in red are too low.
Well, I never really understood the leveling up. How do I do that? Give the lady in Hunters Dream my blood echoes?

No visible signs. If I find a dead end I just hit where I think doors would be and once and awhile it will be an illusion. Don't know how a guide will help with a procedural dungeon though.
If it makes you feel any better, I don't think missing one would be a big deal. I've just gotten ritual items in the ones I've found.
I've only had one glitch so far, ran into a room before the floor texture loaded and my heart seized up in my chest. Was a straight vertical drop into a lake. But then the texture loaded and i was fine. Scary as hell though.
Speaking of glitches, can anyone right-click on GAF today? I can't right-click, but only on GAF pages. Weird.

This is the same trajectory as all other Souls games. Once you get good, you don't lose that skill in said game.
I, personally, found BB to be the hardest Souls game. I struggled more with certain bosses then I did in my entire career as a Souls player aside from the initial learning curve back in Souls 1.
My overall difficulty, both enemy encounters and boss encounters would be:
BB > Souls 1 > Demon Souls > Souls 2
yup, just riase either str or skll to whatever number was red when you click on the weosn in question. could also be blood or arcane if its guns or weird weapons.
I've been replaying Dark Souls on the side after finishing my first Bloodborne playthrough. Bloodborne is waaaaaaaay easier, to me atleast.

My biggest problem with BB is that while our character change in the most significant way (combat wise), bosses stayed pretty much the same as in previous alterations.
I look at BB, and remember mostly DeS. Not one thing in this game reminds me of the Dark series before it. And I like it. My biggest issue with DS2, is the amount of gear options it had. I like a more traditional way, vbut that game spat some ridiculous builds.
BB feels barebones, but at the same time it feels much more focused. I like it, and I hope the next game builds correctly on all before it. Now for that chikage...

Right outside of it.
I think it was a bit easier, but there's no O&S cockblock to enrage the hell out of me. Pretty much every boss after them though, I just threw on my heaviest armor and biggest weapon and smacked the boss in the face until it died.
I don't know how you can say O&S was easier solo than ANY boss in Bloodborne...
Yeah I bet no major items would be behind them. Maybe ritual items. Maybe a duplicate weapon. But nothing unique.
Only the "root" dungeons are random right. All the other chalice dungeons are the same for everybody. That is what I read at least. If so they could easily have guides to find the illusion doors etc in the non-random chalice dungeons.
How'd you deal in Demon's and Dark 1 if you didn't understand how to level up?

Should be just in front of her. Inside the room.
Yeah, but that's the Logarius' Seat lamp post. I saw a picture of a guy having Vileblood Queen's Chamber on the Awaken Above Ground lamp post list.
Edit: Found it lol.

Oh right. I remember reading that. I guess a guide will work then.
Wow, I must've walked right past it.
