Oroboro released a video today talking about stats, builds, and a suggested soul level for PvP. Info below.

Spoiler

Vitality - Softcaps at 30, hardcaps at 50
Endurance - Hardcaps at 40
Strength/skill/bloodtinge/arcane - Softcap at 25, hardcap at 50

All Level 125

Quality Build
Military Veteran (lowest possible arcane)
VIT: 50
END: 40
STR: 30
SKL: 25
BLD: 24
ARC: 6

Strength
Military Veteran
VIT: 50
END: 40
STR: 50

Will be interesting to see how the metagame develops. Especially with Arcane focused builds.

 

[super-famicom]

really? that makes it less special

Someone in the spoiler thread mentioned they found some as drops. I think the hat looks dumb. Do you want my code now? When you get your code you can just send it to me.

 

[antitrop]

Cabin in the Woods is typical Joss Whedon, "my writing is so goddamn clever!" garbage.

His writing is clever, though. Buffy is the best TV show ever.

Will be streaming shortly!



IMPORTANT QUESTION: Do you prefer your Bloodborne stream to start from the very beginning of the game (character creation and all) or deep into the game with potential weapon/monster/location spoilers (roughly 25 hours in)?

It's a stream, just show as much as you can. You don't need to tailor your content for a live stream like you would for recorded and edited video. It's the entire point of streaming for most people. Just press start on the game and the stream, and GO

 

[MattyG]

Watch it and don't read/look up anything about it if you can.

^this. This movie is so amazing if you go in cold.

 

[Revengineer]

I can't wait to fucking die. Please make four hours from now come sooner someone.

 

[Kevin Shields]

Has it been confirmed whether or not you can turn off blood?

 

[todd360]

7pm PST not EST

Oh that would explain it. I thought I read that they would be up 10 am est today and wondered why they still weren't posted when I got home.

 

[todahawk]

100%

eh, 99% sure.

 

[ChuckNyce]

those that have it right now, can you do share play? i tried it and psn wont let the other person view it

Nope, tried it Saturday and it was blocked for us also

 

[23qwerty]

^this. This movie is so amazing if you go in cold.

Fave movie of 2012 for me, easy.

 

[neoism]

Finally <3. Lol 1200+ posts in 3 hours

Speaking personally, I hate it when streamers skip chargen in games that have it, or worse, don't give a shit and roll the default guy with a different hair color because "no one wants to see the boring stuff"...

I do!

 

[Ryuuga]

Time to reminisce

Those first few steps are the most important you'll e- *You have Died*

 

[TheSpoiler]

OKAY AMAZON

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SHIPPED MY COPY YET

LIKE WHAT

I'm not getting it tomorrow even though I asked for same day delivery, am I?

 

[i-Lo]

Trailer track: The Hit House feat. Ruby Friedman &#8211; Hunt You Down

Those first few steps are the most important you'll e- *You have Died*

Hohohuehue indeed.

 

[LiK]

i'll wait another day. no point redeeming now since my game won't be here until tomorrow. thanks for the offer.

 

[cooreets]

I don't think you can turn off blood in Bloodborne

 

[Dez_]

Bloodborne! Yaaaaay

Will unfortunately have time for maybe an hour or two after work tomorrow and maybe Wednesday. Thursday, however, it's going down! So excited!

 

[Sou Da]

When do servers go up?

 

[ANDS]

Thanks. It looks interesting.

It is one of the best deconstructions of the "monster movie" in a long time. Very anti-genre ending.

OKAY AMAZON

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SHIPPED MY COPY YET

LIKE WHAT

Yes. You will. It is unlikely that you will be one of the small subset of souls whose game will not meet same day delivery.

 

[Krappadizzle]

http://www.craveonline.com/gaming/a...your-starting-class-and-weapons-in-bloodborne

Thanks for this. I think I'm gonna pick Noble Scion as my class after reading about what they each specialize in.

 

[vpance]

I've barely followed the game in the last few months. So magic (arcane?) is in? As in soul arrow type attacks? What kind of stuff can you do with arcane?

 

[Revolutionary]

Watch it and don't read/look up anything about it if you can.

The gif already ruins it for anyone with a brain lol


Anyways, still waiting for those servers to go online... I want to invade some people.
Question: does the password also include invasions?

 

[ironcreed]

When do servers go up?

Probably tonight when the game launches.

You asked? or you paid? If you paid chances are, even if it doesn't update, you'll get it.

Otherwise you can chat with CS and they will overnight it free of charge for missing the date.

 

[Gaz_RB]

just a little over 4 hours now...

 

[Toxi]

Glad Violent Past starts with a good stat total; I was already leaning towards it because STRONK

 

[pelicansurf]

What if the reviews are just 0/10 across the board? That would be kind of funny.

 

[antitrop]

The gif already ruins it for anyone with a brain lol

Naaaaaaaaaaaah

 

[Yoshichan]

Confirmed. I've chosen my path.

It was a close fight between Violent Past and Waste of Skin. But two less points on Arcane was the deciding factor for me.

Violent Past
Hunter Axe

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

I mentioned this in another thread, but if you're trying to think of what to name your character, try out this Victorian Name Generator:

http://www.springhole.net/writing_roleplaying_randomators/victoriannames.htm

I think I'm going with Drysdell, or maybe Isadore.

I think I'll go with Alexander Ravenblood

 

[vwluke]

So, before arriving to the first boss I hear

Spoiler

a music box somewhere around the plaza where you first encounter the crows

, am I missing something there?

You will eventually come to a window leading to the sewers talk to the person at the window you will get an item and listen to what she says she provides a hint to what the item will do.

 

[AESplusF]

I'm getting it delivered, it'll probably take 10-14 days. 27th is nothing.

Me too dude, it's not great, I did the same with Type-0 HD and I'll be getting that this Friday.

 

[takoyaki]

Can't wait for the reviews.

I'm about 15 hours in and if the game holds up throughout, I'm predicting 90+ metacritic; easily. This feels like From's Ocarina of Time. Everything you love about Souls is back, yet it somehow feels like a fresh experience: The world is huge, lots of branching paths, random events that change the way you progress though the game, challenging bossfights, enemy variety, it runs well and looks gorgeous, ...

The loadtimes are a pain and some might call it visually less varied than other Souls games (from what I’ve played). Other than that, I don't see any negatives. The hype is real

 

[Loakum]

fuck, Amazon emails the bonus DLC 2 days later? i wanna have it when i get the game!

Bonus DLC? I ordered mine from amazon, and this is the first I've heard about any DLC.

 

[cheezcake]

Cabin in the Woods is typical Joss Whedon, "my writing is so goddamn clever!" garbage.

I think its the only thing Whedons done which I've liked, and I think a big part of that was because he didn't direct.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Yeah. 6 or 7am not sure

I have the game sitting on my account pre-loaded and it says theres just over 4 hours until it unlocks. Surely it'd be 4am?

 

[Revengineer]

.

Perfect.

BLOODBORNE. It's part of the entire package. Get bloody.

 

[i-Lo]

 

[Pop]

So my copy has shipped.

Now I play the waiting game. The hardest of them all.

 

[ironcreed]

Yeah, screw it. I was going Lone Survivor for the early vitality, but I am going Noble Scion for the early jump on skill and blood tinge. I will bring vitality up as I go.

 

[Zetta]

What if the reviews are just 0/10 across the board? That would be kind of funny.

At this point I don't think it matters lol. I got my copy and am going Waste of Skin and chose the pimp cane.

 

[FiveSix4Three]

A player's first Bloodborne experience goes something like this.

I don't know why, but i can't stop watching this.

On another note, maybe my girlfriend will grab this for me early for my b-day. I've been dropping hints....car troubles have me scraping my pockets at the moment.

 

[schlongdog]

Two hours until reviews, or three?

 

[catspit]

This game is darkkkk. Will only be able to play when the sun goes down.. Plasma TV gamma don't fail me now.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Those camera angles with no HUD really make the game shine.

 

[ANDS]

Two.
