So I'm trying to buy it from the web store but just keep getting this..

What the hell? Guess I'll just try again on my PS4 and hope it works.

edit: Or not, can't even pre-order it from my PS4, ugh.

 

[Auto_aim1]

. Where do I go now?

 

[toastyToast]

I found a blood rock in case anyone was wondering if the DLC had one in it

 

[Hypemaster]

8 more minutes, I'm nervous. Gonna smoke up and wreak some monsters.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Mezcal and tonic made, bat packed, just waiting for the clock to strike 12.

Crucial. I've got a ton of shards, chunks, and twins horded away.... But I need the rock to get another weapon to 10. (I've done 0 dungeons)

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

I think I'm gonna play Battlefront for another hour tonight, and then play The Old Hunters exclusively all night tomorrow. I have Wed off, so I can stay up late playing.

 

[Chance Hale]

I haven't played the game since I beat it at launch, is the Burial Blade actually any good? I remember I put my one blood rock into it to get it to rank 10 in a horrible daze, lol.

 

[loki 16]

It't been like half a year since I last played bloodborne and new game plus is kicking my ass.

 

[Soulflarz]

reminder guys
GET GOOD

 

[gogosox82]

Does this expansion make the camera in the game not god awful?

Bloodborne could've been a good game if that camera didn't suck ass.

Why would an expansion fix something that isn't really a problem.

 

[tintin1029]

On a side note, I'm really happy with the 1.07 patch. Chalice dungeons have gone from being okay to being quite fun for doing co-op. It's really easy to get someone to join you now. I've had multiple people join me and I've joined parties multiple times now. Also it helps that the bell stays on even after you slaughter the boss. So when you advance to the next level (as long as you don't leave the dungeon) it will automatically search for a new co op partner.

Totally. Especially with using the short chalice, it use to take forever, now it only takes like a few minutes to find someone, it's great.

Edit: Especially when I have to wait for the expansion to release. One minute. Fuuuuuuuuuuck

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

I assume if I purchased this on psn (via pc), its going to automatically download it... Or do I need to initiate some shit in the store?

 

[DoubleTake]

Here we go boys. Time to cleanse these foul streets.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Good hunting, may the good blood guide you.

 

[MattyG]

About how long are people saying this is? I was gonna hold off for a bit because I'm still playing Fallout 4 and Battlefront, but if it isn't massive I may grab it. $20 isn't too bad, and I need a slower skill based game after playing those two the last couple weeks.

 

[SargerusBR]

Lets gooooooooooooo

 

[terrible]

the pre-load timer hit zero

game on

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

And so the hunt begins again

 

[Kalentan]

So do I need to download something or can I play the DLC now? It's reach 12 AM.

 

[zma1013]

Why would an expansion fix something that isn't really a problem.

Eh, it's a problem in all their games at times. It rears its ugly head mainly when locking on to large enemies or bosses when you are close to them which is why it's better to fight large enemies and bosses without lock on a lot of the time. I think something as simple as having the camera automatically pull outwards as you get close to a large locked on enemy would do wonders so you could actually see what's going on around you rather than getting a screen-filling upskirt shot of the monster obscuring your view of everything.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

I'm in, purchased weeks ago. Just start the game and go to the Dream.

 

[BashNasty]

Hmm, still can't buy it in the store, this is not good.

 

[Dahbomb]

IT'S TIME FOR JACK TO LET IT RIP!!!!

 

[finalflame]

Here we go USAGAF.

HERE. WE. GO.

EDIT: MESSAGE ACQUIRED. Right on time. Time to get whisked away.

 

[pixxxelz]

Let's do this!

 

[Soulflarz]

HUNT IS ON

 

[zma1013]

Ugh, I just had to get sick right before the release of this. Won't be playing tonight, gaaaah. Good luck all.

 

[Game4life]

Hmm, still can't buy it in the store, this is not good.

Sony is hopelessly incompetent. They are actively trying to prevent people from buying the DLC. They hide it somewhere and now are preventing me from buying it. Jesus Christ in 2015 this shit is still happening.

 

[Soulflarz]

into the new area
YEAH

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Ugh, I just had to get sick right before the release of this. Won't be playing tonight, gaaaah. Good luck all.

I'll join you in suffering while reading impressions.

 

[Persona7]

If the messenger isn't popping up in the hunters dream try exiting the game and reloading.

 

[Soulflarz]

any shortcut to the new area or do you have to walk there each time from the cathedral?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

alright. just beat vicar again on ng+. less go

 

[CrovaxPSO]

Seem to be having an issue downloading the actual DLC file. I pre-ordered it a couple days ago and got the theme, but can't seem to download the actual DLC now. The pre-order is in my add-ons and says playable in 00:00:00 but I can't do anything. Attempting to download to my PS4 from the web store just gives me an error.

 

[MattyG]

What point do you have to be to in the vanilla game to start this?

If you downloaded the latest bloodborne patch you already have the DLC.

You have to beat Vicar Amelia and then activate the prompt behind the lamp that triggers a cutscene.

 

[Soulflarz]

beat vicar

 

[CrovaxPSO]

Yeah, I knew that but thought I had to download some 13 MB file or something to actually unlock it. I loaded into my game and I do have it though, I thought the title screen would have changed is all. My mistake.

 

[MilkBeard]

I was expecting the extra download but I got back, went in the game and the item was automatically in the Hunter's Dream. Cool. Time to start!

 

[MattyG]

beat vicar

Okay cool, thanks. I think I'm only up to the Father on my NG+ save, but I should be able to get to Vicar Amelia quick enough.

 

[jmaine_ph]

FUUUUUU! I'm at the beginning of my NG++ and have only beat the Cleric Beast. I have to run through and get at Vicar fast!

 

[KCroxtonJr]

So im lvl 175 on ng+ with 40 vit and 10% hp rune....and i just got one shot by that explosive hammer :O

I fucking love it.

The games are popular as they are partly because of the way the games feel. When you hit someone with a charged r2 from the kirkhammer, it has a really satisfying feel to it. From the animation of swinging it, to the reaction from from the enemies getting staggered or flattened. Part of that is how the camera is placed. I don't think you can change something as vital as the camera placement and think the game will play exactly the same. I'd rather it play like this and deal with a sometimes wonky camera, then have decently place camera but lose that feel that these games have.

 

[toastyToast]

Hit the final boss

This moveset. Fuck

 

[BeeDog]

What the fuck?

I preordered the DLC some time ago (Swe/EU-PSN), but now I can't seem to download it since the DLC has a price tag on the store. What is this shit?

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

"Wtf is that noise" omggg

 

[Deku Tree]

So what's the last step to access the DLC?

 

[brandonh83]

Holy shit

Waiting for the DLC, I just got to Micolash in like 45 minutes

How simply incredible is the game design in this? It might be my third favorite game ever behind Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid.

I don't think a functioning lock-on camera when fighting large monsters up close would change that at all.
