BLOODBORNE Spoiler Thread (read OP)

god fucking damnit

Starting with your fists was a viable way to beat the games in the past, so this really isn't much of an indication, some had a fine time with that . He specialized in his use of the saw cleaver, as will people with other weapons. Bosses being challenging comes down to the player -Would you judge Bosses by watching someone else beat them? Or will you judge on your own? The consensus on the bosses might be that they're easy , and you are right that Chalice Dungeon with an unknown amount of new enemies is going to be the challenge for the long-run as intended i think. It will be a challenge people won't have to go through NG+ for anyway.

yes you can judge if a boss is easy or not, even if you're watching a stream. you see when the guy rolls, how he rolls, how (if) he dies, you see the boss' moveset etc.
some of them were literally spamming minions infinitely and not doing much else, or I saw a boss that was supposed to be "one of the great ones" but all he did was waving his swords around. >roll under it, fight won. also some fights were weird but I'm assuming that there is an online factor there. I'm not saying that the bosses in this game are all easy or that they all suck, I haven't even seen half of them and the first 4-5 that you encounter are pretty good fights. just saying that some of them seemed quite easy and underwhelming.

You could get through the other games with the starting weapons with no problems. I destroyed Gwyn with a longsword, doesn't mean anything.
Click to expand...
you can destroy Gwyn with everything as long as you parry him.
it means that he's not overpowered as someone was suggesting, he's not the best bloodborne player NA either. some bosses definitely looked like too easy, because they probably are.

Its not slow as in molasses dripping, but comparatively, the two handed version that is anyways.

It's funny because I see a lot of people switch to the kirkhammer when they unlock that and that's way slower lol. I liked using halberds in DkS and the two-handed axe seems similar to that so it's familiar.
 
Question outside of Odeon Chapel:

What is that uh...thing that looks like a magic spell going off every time I walk behind that one tree right outside of the chapel? I don't want to get murdered but I'm curious what it is.
 
question about npc
Eileen the Crow.
in order to unlock her weapon you have to
- help with hunter encounter at Tomb of Oedon lamp and help with hunter encounter at Grand Cathedral lamp.
how does that work?
You summon her for the boss fight and hope she doesn't die?

What would be a good scaling weapon (or stats that would make sense)
Click to expand...
depends on the stats and your build, you should aim for whatever weapon has a scaling of S (usually when the weapon is upgraded) in the stat that you're focusing on.

I'm interested in what you guys think about spoilers. As in do you think it affects your enjoyment of the game or not?

I'm personally conflicted because my favorite parts of souls game is creating a build that suits my style but at the same time I don't want to know how to defeat certain areas.
Click to expand...


For me I'll be playing as blind as i can on my first run I won't go to a guide or wiki till NG+ or i hit a major wall that i get stuck on for 6 plus hrs.

I know some people like to watch other people play through but for me these games have always been about discovery. I don't won't to spoil it and shouldn't be here tbh but that pull !
 
For the preload, will it start automatically if the PS4 is in rest mode?

Or do you have to initiate it or something?

I have the PS4 set up to download everything it can, but not sure if preloads work differently or not.

Now I on the otherhand...hate slow weapons, lol. I prefer the quicker more agile ones! Im going cane for sure!

I think if you view the game in your library there will be a checkbox about downloading automatically or something. I assume if that's checked it would start when it goes up? I usually do my pre-loads manually overnight so I'm not 100% sure.
 
I honestly feel like I will like the
katana
the most. It seems fast and strong and I am alright with the stats it needs. Plus I like trying to be stealthy so if I can use the ability that
drains health for more power
as a power up attack then turn off the ability and do a backstab for a crit if possible. If not then I would get that sneak attack in with extra damage.
 
First area question:

I just killed the witch, and now it's night time. Where should I go from here? I don't have the key to the Healing Church workshop, and I seem to remember there being a door where it asks you for a password but I can't remember where it was...

If you find the game in the library and click on the countdown, then you can set it to auto-preload in rest mode.
 
I would consider buying Bloodborne digitally if I knew this was a game with huge legs. Can anyone inform me/convince me of this. I have bought 3 games digitally (Destiny, GTA 5, DriveClub) so far and only regret 1 (Driveclub). I like to think that the games I buy digitally are games I would never sale and even if I would consider it would be with at least 18 months of playing it so I would only get around $5 anyway. I wish there was a deal for buying PSN cards right now also. .

What keeps the Soul community striving? Why should I expect longevity with this title? The game looks amazing and so does the lore, but what would make this game a 400+ hour game for people? I truly want to know. Amazon is preparing my shipping for pre-order :[

so, those who have the game already, how is the framerate? i really dont care much about the graphics since FROM games are usually ugly but the problem is always that they are terrible at some points as well when it comes to performance, did they manage to have a stable framerate this time around or not?
 
So what are we doing with this thread once the game launches?

IMO, the spoiler tag policy should go away for all Souls/Bloodborne spoilers on day of release.

Souls games are pretty replayable with NG+

PVP usually keeps most players playing though. The chalice dungeon might throw in an extra dozen of hours as well

My 3rd attempt with the 3rd boss in the game, still don't know wtf I was doing :) watching the video again though I can see there was plenty opportunities to attack it while it was in a stunned state. This was a rather difficult and very adrenaline pumping fight haha

If you need help with this boss, there is a
Phantom Summon on the right side of the stairs that lead to the fog gate. You'll need the bell and you need to have met the NPC before. He's the cleric you find somewhere in the area after the cathedral.

chalice dungeon seems to add a huge amount of replayability even before you get to the randomly generated ones vs the premade ones in the game. that's on top of what's probably going to be a 40-60 hour main playthrough depending on your play style.

coop is a great time sink as well, you'll really enjoy allowing yourself to be summoned to help other players on their way in their own worlds, its one of my favorite parts.

PvP is there if you were interested too, and it seems like this time around its not going to be decided buy who has the certain armor/ringset build that wins but moreso who is better with their weapons moveset.

Is the PVP scene organized or is it I "invade" you (I do not know what invading is) and just troll you or kill you? Is it only 1 on 1? I would love to think of a world populated with hunters who just want to kill each other.

all indications are pointing to this is the best performing FROM game on console in recent memory. all drops experienced by ppl who own the game are apparently not very distracting/plentiful compared to how they've been in past games.

Whether you like replaying the games and/or doing NG+ stuff that alone would last a long time. We don't know how PvP will be yet since the servers aren't up but that's usually popular for years.

The Chalice Dungeons are maybe what will keep a lot of people coming back as it looks like there's a lot more content there than anyone thought.
 
Dungeons going by that reddit post are going to be like the Tower of Mirage in Dragon's crown, with crazy bullshit happening even earlier. There has to be a need to catalog unique dungeons for the masses or the recipes serve as seeds for similar dungeons, I think this has to be part of the reason for the delay of the guide.

Ah ok, I thought it was weird that the
messenger thing popped up about summoning
:) I already beat it and I did
meet that Cleric guy
so maybe in NG+ I will try. Thanks for the info.

Ya the day1 patch was the reason the guide got delayed and the patch was mostly about chalice dungeons

the community always finds a way to "organize" their own separate fights, however outside of that you can get invaded while trying to summon - I THINK you can get invaded by two at the same time although Im not positive on that.

new mechanic spoiler re: how you can be invaded:

there's a mechanic now with a "bell maiden" who spawns in an area. if you don't find/kill her in a certain amount of time, you'll be invaded. adds to the tension as you're playing through.

I tried it to find out
how summoning works
in Bloodborne. Made the fight a lot easier, but
not relying on summoning
is always better :)

So it is possible someone could just say "Screw it, I just want to do PVP after I beat this game" and they will be able to do so with willing players easily? Is there ever like 10 players at 1 time just pvping?
 
from the impressions thread:

@fiddlecub: (Kevin VanOrd the reviewer for Gamespot):
I should take a break. My window is open and I am loudly cursing. On the other hand, that's what my neighborhood sounds like anyway.

Also: " Sometimes, you have to appreciate a game that really goes there. Like, you know. THERE."

He must be talking about Bloodborne. lol

I wonder what's kicking his ass.
 
I really, really need to stop perfectly timing what should be a parry only to realize I have the axe two handed or a torch in my left.

Sheesh.

Not many games go 'there' like the Souls series does.
