So is all the loot bought from NPCs after doing something? Or is any of it actually found in the world?

 

[Loefah]

gah after seeing the hunter axe stream I now have no idea what weapon to choose >.<

I'm tempted but you can't use a firearm in its secondary form as its two handed.

hmm that is true, hope quicksilver bullets are plentiful and they let me buy/find the starter weapons at some point

 

[bodyofanamerican]

LOL SIGH

After ALL OF THAT EFFORT FINDING THE RIGHT ATTIRE, the NPC is STILL HOSTILE.

 

[boredofcanada]

Anyone get any news about the future shop guide from Amazon?

 

[mohsinkhan]

Review embargo is up tomorrow right? I am still on the fence. Never played a Dark Souls game before.

 

[Darryl M R]

Is there anyway to carry more silver bullets? 20 seems low

 

[razgriz417]

looks like the axe stream just ate the banhammer

Nope

Do weapons break in Bloodborne?
Sorry if already been answered.

You can sacrifice health for 5 bullets.

(I think.)

Booooo, oh well. Not too many mah and pah shops down here so I guess I'll just have to wait till tomorrow night.

Almost there...

 

[Phamit]

there is a stream on twitch if anyone is interested to watch

 

[LegalEagleMike]

I do believe so. Curious to see if this reviews higher than Dark Souls 2. Not that I place any real importance in Metacritic I just find it amusing that Dark Souls 2 is the highest rated so far.

[Zaventem]

Where's the axe stream?

 

[Willkiller]

How many hours for completion are we looking at here?

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Sorry if already been answered.

I haven't had one break but they definitely degrade.

 

[boredofcanada]

Well I've put in 14 hours and beaten one boss, so it seems damn long.

 

[Yoshichan]

To stream or not to stream, come Wednesday... that is the question...

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Lol I unlocked the last

Spoiler

headstone

by accident.

Some of these enemies are pure nightmare fuel. Don't know if I'm supposed to be here yet.

 

[Javes]

Is there any more information regarding PvP? While DkS 2 wasn't as good as the other Souls games the PvP in that game was great and I had a lot of fun with it.

 

[Sinnermighty]

Tomorrow 10 AM EST

It's 10pm. Also reviewers have Online access apparently, so they have been playing with that enabled to take into account for their reviews.

 

[Gbraga]

Finally managed to beat Dark Souls in less than 2 hours! Not an amazing time at all, but my personal best. Felt so good TT_TT

Now you can finally rest for a few months, Dark Souls, Bloodborne will take your place.

 

[bobby2times]

I'm in S.Fla and can pretty much tell you that were never getting early games due to the fact that no mom and pop videogame shops exist down here.

 

[SargerusBR]

Only a few hours before the game releases?

 

[Crossing Eden]

So i've been peeking at some streams, and it appears that a good amount of bosses lack intro cutscenes. Are they less common in this game, that would be a shame because they'd really be able to show off the visuals.

 

[Floody]

I haven't had one break but they definitely degrade.

Thanks!
Wasn't sure if they would because they seem a lot more unique than most weapons in the Souls games.

 

[Darryl M R]

Chat tells Mobius: "Get between her legs and thrust." Mobius takes it as real advice on how to take down the boss and tries to explain how he was trying to use that tactic. I don't think he's even playing along with these jokes or trolling, he is either innocent or a dad.

 

[ironcreed]

The axe is powerful and looks badass, but it is too slow for me. I think I am going to have to start with the threaded cane or sawblade. I will probably use them both.

 

[Giriath_89]

To stream or not to stream, come Wednesday... that is the question...

Wednesday? Don't you have the US digital version pre-ordered Yoshi? :O

I'm hoping my CE from Webhallen arrives tomorrow since it was sent on Friday, but if not at least my preload unlocks at 5AM CET on Tuesday.

I think he's just innocent. He was talking about how he didn't know what 4chan or reddit was yesterday.

Also this boss has new tactics now.

Did you go up there before you got the outfit?

 

[KCroxtonJr]

Stream. No further questions.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

I did!

Spoiler

What I had been led to believe is even if you attack him, he goes instantly passive once you have the outfit.

Oh well. Knocked him off the roof. lol

 

[BumRush]

One thing I really want to know (I can't play until launch day),

How many different types of environments have players (or stream-viewers) encountered thus far. Every demo of the game has showed off the Victorian era/gothic city. The Beast Souls leak showed forest(ish) more lush environments. Without major story/encounter spoilers could someone describe the different environments (e.g. Forest, Caves, Snowy reigions, Sunny Areas, whether there's rivers/waterfalls/lava in them, etc.) I'm just really after a bullet point breakdown of variety.

Oh, and how significant each environment is in the greater length of the game (if possible), cheers!

Haha, haven't played yet either but I literally asked the same exact question like 2 pages back. Response I got was 5-6 distinct environments in the first 7-8 hours or so.

 

[Nivert]

I did!

Spoiler

Yeah I guess you need it before you go up there or maybe it's just some elaborate troll lol

 

[razgriz417]

Nope

o my bad, saw the stream go offline, thought he was banned lol

What are ya'll doing with weapons that don't fit your particular build? I have one that's like at an E rating and I'm thinking of just selling it. Not super certain if it'll ever come in handy.

Don't ratings change when you upgrade weapon?

 

[_h8bit]

Don't ratings change when you upgrade weapon?

Yeah, but I upgraded this one once and it's still the same if I upgrade again :/

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Don't ratings change when you upgrade weapon?

Yep. All of the starting scale pretty badly even if you upgrade them, though. Still worth putting the shards in anyway because you end up getting tons of bloodstone shards not far into the game.

Source? Everyone keeps giving different information. I'm not sure anyone really knows.

 

[Skatterd]

It will most likely eventually change and you can get gems to improve the scaling once you've leveled it up enough I believe.

I suppose I'll hang onto it then. Thanks!

 

[Astral]

How's the upgrade system in this game? I feel like Dark Souls' and especially Dark Souls 2's upgrade systems don't hold a candle to Demon's Souls.

 

[Zaventem]

Holy shit that attack on mobius stream where the boss

Spoiler

calls upon the stars and send it down

looks fucking amazing.

Spoiler

You see the galaxies swirling, holy fuck this game

It's funny how often I hear that from people who played Demon's first. I don't have a strong opinion on the "upgrade system" per se, it's neat that it branches in so many ways, but farming for materials is absolutely the worst thing about Demon's Souls. Only things I'd change about it (DeS) are the drop rate on Bladestone and make the crystal lizards respawn until killed (as in Dark Souls) with a 100% drop rate on one pure stone of each type per play through. It is infuriating as is.
