First point is fair. Not sure I understand his second point.

I think he's going for the "Call of Duty fans are nothing but homophobic racist teenagers" thing. If you're a Souls fan talking shit about people who don't like it, it could make people think that "Souls fans are all elitist assholes" or something like that. I think that's the point he's trying to make.
 
Lol you were correct all along. I honestly thought he should of finished the game, though couldn't this boss also be replicated in the story mode (if bosses are taken from there), or do you think this is just specific to the dungeon?

I think it's specific, but I mean, I'm just going off item descriptions, trophy descriptions etc. They all pointed to the chalice.

Non-spoilered comment I think is worth stating, this game is much longer than much people think. 30-40 hours is not accurate.
 
He raised two very good points. There is a certain contigent of DS players that view themselves as better than everyone else, "casuls." I mean even on gaf i've seen people call others pussies for using a shield, like dude, it's a videogame. Stop taking it so seriously. One of the things I hate the most about the franchise is the fanbase that it created.

All games have a fanbase that like that on some way plus gies no better .
 
damnit. I am interested in this game, but never got into Dark Souls (only one I tried). And I seriously doubt I can get an unbiased opinion of the game here, especially all the midnight buyers.

Can anyone say how different this is from the previous games?

The really different thing about Bloodborne is the speed of the combat. Shields are replaced by firearms (pistol, blunderbuss, and more). The firearms are used to stun enemies and then execute a vicious counterattack. Combat seems to be a bit speedier than previous Souls games, but you still need to be patient, watch for openings, and then attack accordingly. Button Mashing will be futile, as weapon swing animations cannot be canceled out. There is a health regain mechanic where you can regain some health lost by attacking an enemy that has damaged you within a short window of time. And there are shields in the game, but they're not supposed to be very good.

Watch Patrick Klepek's stream right now; I hear he is explaining a lot of the mechanics and beginner stuff: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...=DEae8SkBs3OFIDHyMSzhqg&bvm=bv.89184060,d.cGU

Yup. As much as I love the series, it's brought out some of the worst elitism in the gaming community. Sucks really.
 
My only concern with this game is long term -- will the decrease in items and weapons and builds, with no spells or miracles, make the game less replayable over the long run?

This is utter torture.

Can't say for sure it's the same for you obviously, but thought I'd let you know my order status looks exactly the same as yours and Amazon told me with seemingly great confidence just now I WILL get my order on schedule. So maybe we'll be ok. If not, there will be blood tomorrow (and a transcript of our chat I had emailed to me.)
 
So I received official word that the FromSoft team is working on another patch to fix the loading. Just saying.
 
Well I guess my Pulse Elites aren't good enough anymore for Sony exclusives (DriveClub, The Order: 1886, and now Bloodborne presets nowhere to be found)

Thank god cause my status screen says the same. It's probably shipping from LA so if it ships tonight (looks like it will) I could get it by tomorrow

I'll ask again, no one probably knows though. I'm still about 45 minutes from the "Application Data" being fully downloaded, that's the 29 gig part.

I have the 5.6 gig done, and the 2.5 gig update file done.

Anyone think it will let me launch and play up to a certain point, or will it not work at all until all 29 gigs are done?
 
I know you're expressing frustration but tbh I'm happy hearing how tough the boss is! Can't wait. Maybe I'll change my tune when I actually get to fight him

I'm also happy to hear that there are bosses that you have to go on a significant trek in order to reach. Another Souls tradition. Can be very frustrating, but it always made the bosses even more intense for me, as the fear of having to get back to it was always in the back of my mind. Which increased the satisfaction of finally beating the boss.

But I can see how it could be overly frustrating for some people as well. Other Souls games have had a good mix of bosses right next to a bonfire and ones that required a long trip, which I think helps with potential fatigue.

I'm wondering about this as well in terms of trick builds and fun PVP sets. Too early to tell but with what your given....I'm a little interested in what happens

It's more fast paced and, because of that, frequently more difficult. Whether or not you'll like it probably depends on why you didn't enjoy Dark Souls, but they're very similar games.

They gave me the same line. He said "any minute now" or something along those lines. I saved a transcript so I can complain when it doesn't come in and they give me full credit for the price of it.
 
Only for the Gold headset

Pulse elites get screwed again. First Driveclub app, now Bloodborne

Nice support for your premium headset, Sony

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

EDIT: Are you sure that the Gold setting doesn't work on the PE as well? I mean, I just can't comprehend why they would do that to the folks who spent MORE money.
 
What am I missing with the starting blood echoes? Why do the characters that are the same starting level (aside from Waste of Skin) have different amounts of echoes starting out?

This is the email I received ealier...still not sure how to take it but I think mines not going to arrive.

Maybe differenes reflected in their starting gear?

Do we know if everyone starts with the same armor?
