Cancelled my preorder the other day but had to hop back on it yesterday. Estimated delivery date from Amazon is May 7, 2015 =(

Logging in shows that they are still figuring out delivery date. I think I put them in a bind with preordering so late and having them figure out if they can still do release day delivery.

oh yus
 
Can you guys add a character name section for the Bloodborne sheet?

Especially with the option to have character names shown online now.
 
Anyone with early copies know where/how to get the small resonant bell so you can join other's games? I know the beckoning bell summons but my understanding is that the "guest" has to ring the small resonant bell.
 
Man Amazon still hasnt updated my order. And I ordered release day shipping. Grr. I would cancel and go digital but was looking forward to the collector's edition

Man this my #1 most anticipated game for next gen bar none. finally things are looking up for next gen
 
I take it most of the game takes place in this victorian style enviorment so will be interesting to see what they come up with for DLC.

It's worth a shot! The only reason I'm wary is that From loves dump stats that serve no discernable purpose. Some like strength and skill are sure things, but the advantages of bloodtinge and arcane are less obvious. Definitely not trying to discourage you.

It's OK I won't really be able to dive in until tomorrow night and then I'll be behind forever.

I've been playing since Saturday and I'll probably be behind everyone by 10am tomorrow. :p

I'll be playing it all day. I bet by the time you start playing, I still wouldn't have beaten the first boss. :P

Took me 5 hours from start to beat the first boss, but once I did it was like beating atheon for the first time.
 
Question, technically isn't the waste of skin class the best since it allows you to level up straight from level 1 so you don't have to worry about increased costs that escalate for every level you go up since you're starting at level 1?

Waste of Skin starts at 4, every other Origin starts at 10. Yeah, it's a challenge origin/flexible one.
 
I was attempting to watch Patrick Klepek's twitch stream to just get a little taste, something to pass the next hour and a half until the game unlocks. Well, his stream keeps on buffering on me and so I closed it.

I'm going in completely dark.

GOTY contender? Ha, more like GOTY winner.

Nah GOTY is going to Persona 5.
Bloodborne has too many problems with load times and bad story to win GOTY as well as the downgraded gameplay from Souls as well as zero magic at all.
Persona 5 looks like a true SMT game with huge upgrades from Persona 3 and 4 with some 1+2 storytelling and character design spice and may possibly be the best JRPG of all time.
 
My two major problems with the game:

- the loading times, obviously (but that has been discussed to death)
- the fact that your blood vials don't get refilled at the bonfire-lantern thing/after death

Especially that last thing is getting really f***ing tedious and is spoiling my enjoyment of the game. I just died JUST before finishing a boss off, and had used up all of my blood vials. I've respawned now, with ZERO vials in my inventory. Zero. I have to buy some at the merchant in the Dream Area, but, oh wait, I have no blood left since I died. So, basically, every time you die, you have to grind blood to be able to buy your estu- ehr, blood vials to be able to continue the game normally.

(The irritation is exacerbated by the extra loading times of having to go back to the Dream World to buy the damn things as well.)

This is not adding difficulty; this is adding mindless grinding. Frustrating and, most importantly, not fun.

Great game otherwise, but this is making trying bosses somewhat depressing. The fear is not in not knowing how to tackle these behemoths, but in knowing that dying will mean boring grinding again. Blergh.

I did not expect all 20 of my blood vials to be refilled every time I die, but 10 would be nice (read: better and more fair game design). Or just 5, for f***'s sake.

P.S. Sometimes I DO regain a handful of vials upon death, which is weird. Does anyone know the logic behind this?

I appreciate the honesty. I think I will definitely just focus on stamina and vitality at the start and wait until there is a better understanding on the other stats.

Wish they retained the Estus system. It was perfectly balanced.

If you had 20 vials and kept earning more, the excess vials go straight into your stash, and you refill upon entering the hub (or touching a lantern as well?).
