BLOODBORNE Spoiler Thread (read OP)

i dont suppose there are more non-spoilery impressions that can be pulled from this :o

thanks in advance regardless, i refuse to buckle and click those tags!

Just more info on the same boss, he's still stuck on it. A bit more info on Chalices and other misc. stuff that I won't mention.

He plans to put in some more Vit/End points to tank up a bit, he doesn't like doing this as he prefers to play learning to dodge all the moves and improve his skill rather than be a sponge.

Everything else I would think is a spoiler!

7) Lastly some people messaged me saying that my vitality is low. This is true, and it was a conscious decision. When i started playing Dark souls I was terrible, and so I would pump vitality and just defend. Which made me a really bad player because I relied too much on tanking hits. After beating the game the first time, i watched a playthrough done by Seraphim17 on youtube. He's one of my favourite youtubers who does hardcore walkthroughs of really difficult games on their hardest setting with many self imposed restrictions. One of the things said during his commentated walkthrough still resonates with me till now with every game I play. he mentioned that If you just keep relying on out tanking all the damage, you will never improve. You should be focusing on trying to learn the mechanics of the game, the bosses themselves, and trying to get better each time you play, and use your death to become a more knowledgeable and better player.

I will say that for the entire game, i never felt that health was an issue because every enemy I faced can be either parried or dodged/dashed away from until now,
because of one shot attacks from this boss and its minions.
Also i also wanted to see what each weapon does, so I had to pump my arcane, skill, and strength to be able to use weapons and give info on them for you guys. I was using almost base endurance as well.

So I will be pumping them up to around
25
vitality and
20
endurance to see if it can help

Edit: Added part of his post, and just tagged potential spoilers so you can read w/o fear.

You da real mvp

thank you
 
Do you have to unlock the chalice dungeons or are they playable right from the off? Do you access them within the main game?
 
I beat artorias with an SL 1 chara, but still haven't beaten Gwyn without parrying.
not even with a SL130+ character.
Gwyn is a really interesting fight. he's easily one of the hardest if not the hardest boss in the game unless you fucking parry him. I'm sure that a lot of people never used the parry animation more than 3 times before getting there. I honestly never noticed it until my last run where I went back to the ps3 version to get the platinum, I always killed him in co-op. *shrugs*

once you go for the "parry strat" he's a joke. without that, eh, good luck, especially after the massive Iron flesh nerf.
 
still, I'd say that the peak of difficulty, at least for me, was in Demon's Souls.

some of those black phantom NPCs? Holy fuck. much harder than any boss in the game. I ended up cheesing (even in that case I had high chances of dying) most of them and I regret nothing.
 
So, I was thinking of doing my own little diary entries for my character, from her perspective, as I go through the game and slowly drive them insane. People I meet would also be included. I'd probably post it on tumblr.

Not sure if anyone would be interested tho
 
Update on 0racles playthrough?

"I met another hunter, Fuckfarts69 was his name. He was an honorable man, who fought valiantly against the beast. Unfortunately he succombed to his wounds, you will be remembered Fuckfarts69"


(to be clear not making fun of your idea, think it would be cool. Just...some humorous things could arise) lol

I'd love to read them, albeit after I complete my own playthrough to avoid spoiling myself. If you can send me your tumblr over PM, I'll follow you once I've finished the game.
 
"yes i have encountered an area with a poisonous pool just like blightown's bottom and the valley of defilement where you get continuously poisoned. There are small snakes that come in many numbers that jump out of the poison pools and also poison you even more. And there are some giant beast here."
This scares me.
 
so are we talking Dark Souls or Dark Souls II, here?

I have decided to go with this Jun Yoshino quote to build up my hype to where it needs to be.


Regarding game design, how free will the player be to explore different areas in the game? Can we go straight to a bigger challenge or will the game push us to one direction at a time?

"It’s quite interesting. It’s like a hybrid of Demon and Dark Souls. FromSoftware decided to mix those two together. I think it works out really nicely. You still have this kind of refuge, this central area you can always retreat back to. But the game world itself is more like Dark Souls, because in Bloodborne it’s all linked together as well. Once you venture out, you can effectively go anywhere you want."
 
I've asked this before but are the stat requirements of the
scythe and greatsword
known yet?

Any info on this would be much appreciated.
 
A few crystal soul spears and he's down, using magic or pyro is even easier than parrying him.
that's not really true. magic builds are the worst that you could have against him, I did my last and pretty recent run with an awful only INT character and 1. he dodged almost all my spells and pyromancies, only soulmass was sometimes hitting if you had the right (and not easy) timing. 2. he gives you very little room to even cast them.

this is, of course, solo play. with co-op anything goes, really. if someone is taking the aggro and you cast your crystal soul spears then yes, he dies quickly.

check the wiki, I think they're pretty fast at updating it if any info is out. I hope to see the stats, scaling and requirements for those weapons before the game comes out so I can plan my build accordingly.
 
why do you want to know that so badly? :D

Haha it's because both these weapons are incredibly badass and I want to know which starting class would make the most sense stat wise.

I'm also a bit of a compulsive min/maxer so there's that aswell.

Keeping away from all info besides this tho.

Edit: @finalow: will do thanks! I checked it before but I guess i will need a bit more patience. I also hoped to find out by asking here because im afraid of somehow being spoiled too much by the wiki.
 
Serious question: how is Bloodborne in regards to someone's arachnophobia?

The purchase of this game squarely relies upon the answer of this question.
 
I just moved my ps4 downstairs for a couple hours and plugged it into the wall no surge protector. First time i have ever done that. Lost power. ..hope my system didnt get fried. That would be my luck with bloodborne a week away.

Hope I've answered your question.

It will probably fuck with it, honestly. There's footage of a boss out there that would be terrifying for someone with it. Only you know your threshold though.

Edit: beaten, by Cthulhu spider.

I desire to know everything about this beast.

Everything.

I hope to shit it's a Boss Battle.

I don't buy that it's part of a covenant, that whole thing sounds too good to be true.

WHERE?
 
So what's the European release date for this? Local store has a poster with the 28th, which is a Saturday and makes no sense. Usually releases are on fridays here, but then I got a email from Sony / Playstation and it said the release date was the 25th, a Wednesday which also makes no sense. So which is it?

Why can't it just be the 24th ffs, it's 2015 damn it

I expect that she's (assuming it's a spider queen or something)
the master of a covenant. how that works though, no idea.

if that's not going to be correct it's probably going to be a remarkable boss fight so we won't be disappointed either case.

It's the 25th and Yeah it sucks.

Edit: Beaten. I also had no idea that it releases on the 27th in the UK.. Guess the 25th ain't so bad now.
