BLOODBORNE Spoiler Thread (read OP)

The top picture is an extreme example. It's not as bad in BB. But still pretty annoying imo.

Only in gaming developers think unwanted photograph effect, CA, would make for "cool" graphics effect.
 
Spoiler
you should restart just to be safe. Are you still able to craft?

im at the first boss and have gotten the ability to spend blood on stat upgrades. So if that guy allowed you to craft that means I just effectively screwed myself for the rest of the game by killing him. Well, shit.

Although when do you get the option to craft? First time I talked to him when i entered the graveyard he just made random small talk.
 
Is there any streams up that is early from the game? dont want to get spoiled but i cant wait any more so i have to watch some Bloodborne.
 
Darn -- I thought the review embargo ended this morning. I was looking forward to the review thread to help take my mind off the wait for tomorrow.
 
Question regarding the spoiler thread after release:
Is someone going to make a new thread without a spoiler tag policy or is Psycho_Mantis going to remove the spoiler tag policy in this current thread?


Seems like the latter...right?

Guy in the house is not important and you can craft in the same house on the workbench.

Edit: Without needing any items!

For runes you need to kill a certain boss.

Head's up for Hamburg-GAF: Just got my copy from Game Castle! :-)

..No one else seems to sell it at the moment.

False. Got my copy since Saturday from HappyGamers (Barmbek) for 60 Euros. Game Castle can go fuck themselves with their prices.
 

Ok holy shit, I wish I had known this before hand.... that's going to change things up for me completely. Is the person in the video hitting the target with an r1 attack after shooting though? Either way.... going to do this when I get home today!

You have to shoot your gun before you get attacked , counter frames differ from enemy to enemy , then you come up to them while they lay on ground and hit r1 if i remember correctly from alpha. Anyway for that second boss fight there is a
music box item when you use it during the fight he gets transformed faster but from time to time he gets stunned by the music , i do not know if you have to spam using it , but i do not know where to find it as well
Did you get past the first boss ? How many insight points do you have ?

Yup! I had no idea haha, I'm terrible at this type of game, and can't figure anything out by myself lol.
I don't think I have any insight at all actually, I don't even know what it does.... I thought it was just used for coop or something. As for the music box I've heard about it, but no idea where it is, someone said you can summon an NPC with the summoning bell to help you with the fight... going to try and fight that today. I really want to beat the cleric beast before taking on father gascoigne though...

im ten hours in and the guy isn't important besides lore, but then again he could become a important npc like some in dark souls. I don't think you need him to use the workbench.
 
Played for 6 ~ 8 hours during the weekend. Beat 2 bosses (C
leric Beast
and G
ascoigne
), got lost a few times (the areas are freaking huge). Died when trying to kill the m
achine gun enemy
. He killed me in 3 seconds... I don't think I have any chance of beating him at the moment.

I think the game will take Demon's Souls place as the best Souls game to me. I have absolutely no negative impression of the game.
 
Thank you so much for the overwhelming response on Twitch! I will please all my followers when I get the game :)

Just push him over the edge!
 
So I got well and truly stuck on the B
lood
S
tarved
B
east
last night. I am level 23 and this is the third boss I've found. I used up 68+ blood vials across a dozen fights over a few hours.

Pondering my situation afterwards, I figure there's a good chance I'm accidentally sequence breaking. There was at least one other path I avoided because there was a big enemy at the end of it.

Going to go farm vials in central Yharnam, and explore a bit more and then head back in to this crucible with a few more levels worth of hp.
 
Watching a NG+ of
Amelia
is the funniest thing. She has a new move I didn't see before or it was rarely done. Constantly doing
small burst of rapid healing, almost to quick to punish.

Your problem is your level. I was about level 35 at that point.

That move is not new. She uses that move in the NG too. It annoyed the fuck out of me till I R2 charged her to death.

That boss is quiet easy. You just have to evade to the side all the time in the first phase and attack twice when he's open.

In the second phase you have to dodge and go around him after the first dodge to avoid the second attack - attack twice again.

The third phase can be bitch if you low vitaliy but there is a rune which grants you +100 Poison resistance in another area. I killed him without it.

That person is me :) and yes you press the R1 attack as soon as they kneel down.

I made a vid of the fight, I messed up a bit with items and such later into the fight but maybe it will help you out, I was about level 20 when I fought it.

I picked up a lot of missed opportunities for damage after watching the fight again:

Thank you so much for this :) When the OT comes up expect me to post constantly about help guys.... fair warning.

As a newcommer to the souls series... I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

I love the game, and the challenge but I get frustrated with not being able to play as effectly or good as I want to, I hope to one day be as skilled as the rest of soulsgaf :)
 
Stomach acting weird from all hype

I should've listened to my doctor... fucking bowel issues.
 
I am level 46 now, and haven't used a gun at all. :o Nothing stops my Mighty axe! Though I am afraid now certain situations will almost demand a gun :p

I stopped using it after I got the greatsword, I can't pick up anymore bullets as I have reached my storage limit, rather annoying when I get the error every time I try pick up an item, hopefully they increase the limit on that.

Indeed, a small annoyance. Maybe you can tell me where to find the tool for the memory altar? :-)

Got it from Game Castle Elmshorn on Saturday. Their other shop didnt get on Saturday...

@Mendrox: If you read this, did HappyGamer move his shop anywhere and didnt update his website? I couldnt find the shop, if its there it must well hidden...

What no? It's not really a local shop, but an online retailer. So you have to write them and email (they answer immediately) and pick the game up.

Interesting! Your fight is just like mine (though I mainly use the axe), except that I get poisoned faster and I might have fewer hit points, I've been putting most in endurance. I have to laugh about this clue your video confirms for me: this is the first Souls boss where the
columns are for the boss's defense, not the players.
 
Yeah i have heard about that, How does that work exactly ? Do they put in a code which lets them play online ?

Hardly doubt they put in any special code into the original game code for that...I guess they ask for the reviewers ip addresses from which they connect and then let these hosts connect to their servers...
 
I wonder if this info about a specific covenant that came out some time ago is actually true.

Giant Spider has a covenant. You can 'kidnap' / incapacitate other players during invasions to take them into a dungeon in your own world where you play the boss. Players must escape your dungeon and are unable to leave until defeating the area boss (you, or an AI boss if they return offline / disconnect to escape).

also very curious to read impressions for the online system and
beast mode.
