ughh @#$%
so i had the bloodborne CE preordered from amazon since like sep/oct right? few days ago i had to update my card info since it had been hijacked a while ago, and found i coudln't change my address to my current once (i've recently moved a few buildings over), which i found puzzling since it hadn't shipped yet.
after nearly an hour and two associates, the best they could tell me was to cancel said order & resubmit it with my new address, assured it was still in stock...now it's backordered with no expected shipping date.
i'm so fucking done preordering shit. if anyone has another CE for sale, hit me up.

Are you trying to rush to your echoes? Just play the level normally until you grab them and don't worry too much about losing them

You talk to the doll to level up, you have to reach the first boss(don't have to beat it) for her to wakes up.
Yes. Just make sure you open the menu and hit quit and then it takes you to the main menu.

Reach the first boss. After that I could level and destroy him.

You can grind out echoes in an earlier area if you want to. Letting yourself get summoned for jolly co-operation also nets you blood echoes as a reward for helping to defeat a boss.
If you're dying a lot, maybe take things more slowly? Use pebbles to pull a single enemy away from a group and engage it one on one. Fighting an enemy while its buddies start to surround you is pretty much death. Watch its attack patterns and attack when you see a good opening. Use molotovs against enemies weak to fire.

So I played a few hours last night. Didn't really get anywhere, but managed to explore most of Central Yarnham and unlock a bunch of shortcuts. Haven't even fought my first boss yet, taking it slow. Man, fantastic stuff! Here are a few thoughts:
- The art direction in this game is through the roof
- Great atmosphere
- Loving how much more aggressive the enemies are than the Souls games, how they will mostly keep at you even if you back right away
- The movement etc actually reminds me of Demons Souls more than the other games
- Central Yarnham is exceptionally well designed. Up there with the best areas of the series.
- Load times are long
- Frame rate is alright but definitiely slightly under 30fps, which is unfortunate
I did notice one strange issue. I was messing around baiting the big guy down the alley way near the first gate in Central Yarnham, and I noticed if I ran far enough away (near the first Yarnham ladder) he would glitch and disappear, warping back closer to his starting position. Has anyone else noticed this?
Basically, this game is giving me the feels I didn't get with Dark Souls 2 or even Demon's (I played Dark 1 first). Early days, but if the game can maintain this level of quality it may very well end up my favourite of the Souls games.

Do you have the beckoning bell?
This is my first "souls" like game.
really hard. I like it though.
This probably won't come close to GOTY for me but don't tell the others.
If that loop is frustrating you, try to embrace the freedom not having any blood echoes on you gives you. It means you can explore with no consequences if you die. You can scout out locations and laugh when you get swarmed.
Learning to be a bit zen about losing all your (souls/blood echoes) and seeing it instead as an opportunity to suss things out, is part of the magic here.
You can literally hold O and sprint by them if you want

Interesting reading about people getting their asses kicked and getting annoyed etc. I remember a certain
early on in Demons Souls that I tried fighting multiple times and thinking the game was bullshit. Something just keeps you playing though and the games genius is increasingly revealed

I do, but nothing happens. Nothing shows up. With or without the Gaf Password

Can you get insight from killing enemies? Have 8. Seen others have 10 before FG boss.
He is the second boss right?
He is the second boss right?
17 hours in, I am feeling the same way.
Yeah, I got up there...realised what was going on, and climbed back down the ladder, Lol.

Lol, this regain system is such a tease. I feel like some fish that's knowingly eating off a hook line.
Oh no, my health was hit: time to get careless and go crazy hitting everything.
I love the little desperate freedom to move when taking health, unlike in DaS where I'm chugging on the spot like an alcoholic on doomsday.
I manage to backstep a lot which proves to be effective.
Do weapons have just one transformation? I miss weapon variety from DaS, as I did enjoy the number of weapons and their uniqueness. Does this game have a number of weapons (excluding transformations) that they can give me?

It might be that the servers kinda overloaded at the moment. Like when I touch bloodstains, sometimes it won't show a replay of how a hunter died.
Basically once you ring it, your game becomes open to others joining. That doesn't automatically mean people will, it sometimes takes awhile. Especially with the GAF password which is probably a really small pool of people right now.
You're gonna wanna avoid those guys for a while. Run past them and they will lose interest.

I told the old woman and child to go to the clinic. The chapel dude or whatever is creepy and he seems to really want people there. Knowing my luck, it's the clinic that's gonna go bad haha
Edit:
I don't think it matters if you kill it or not. Saw some videos from people who have killed it in the thread.
The Hunter's Axe is so much fun.
If you've beaten the first boss, you can buy items that let you return to the hunters dream from anywhere without losing your echoes.
Try unlocking shortcuts and going back to the hunter's dream whenever you get the chance to spend your souls.
EDIT: Congrats on unlocking leveling! Also, molotov cocktails are everyone's friend.
You can use
molotovs and try to pull one at a time if that helps. Maintain some distance once they're pulled, wait for them to charge, dodge, slice slice slice, repeat.

What the fuck, dogs seem to have infinite health in my game.

I've went to the hunter's lounge or whatever and they still won't die.

Approach slowly and charge R2 until it dings and then press R1 after the stun from the R2 attack.

Walk up behind an enemy. Don't run.
Target lock. Press and hold R2 for power attack. You'll hear a special hit sound. Finish with R1.

Killed the second boss. What a great and fun fight.
When he transforms you can just spam cocktails and it cuts off a big chunk of his life. After reading a bunch of people's issues with him I thought I was gonna be in trouble. With a lot of luck, I was able to 1 shot it which definitely is a good feeling.
