Someone posted this earlier but it didn't get much talk so I'll post it again (Bloodborne hit detection):

Bitching about hitbox shit will always plague every Dark Souls 2 thread with people unable to look past them. I couldn't care less as these problems rarely ever occur in any form so I find it so weird that people get hyper attentive toward these sorts of technical issues.

I'm considering something I never played. Always played melee (swords, spears, dual katanas, you name it). This time I'll take Faith , Magic or Hexes. Preferably faith but still undecided. Never used magic in a souls game and have no clue how to do it best...

I feel like maybe a lot of the reason people aren't noticing BB's hit detection issues as much is because there is so much invincibility frames on the dodge that it just negates a lot of times it would be an occurrence.

just added the JP version to my cart...
It says I already own the Scholar of the first sin DLC so I'm unable to repurchase it?
That's the DX9 version.

Playing BB has given me the desire to try out Dark Souls 2 with a much more aggressive build and playstyle. I'm going to try out double greatswords to see how that works.
I don't think this is true at all. The beauty of every Souls game is that you can play it like a turtle or a rolling god. I do not use shields in any of the games and I find it incredibly fair, not once have I said: god this would be so much easier if I was using a shield. Another thing, there's plenty of bosses that can one shot you in bloodborne as well, perhaps you don't see those attacks if you play with low insight?
I have videos of a large portion of the dark souls 2 / dark souls bosses on my channel if you want to check them out.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Sorry, but I refuse to believe this gif. I'm not a hater of DkS2 (everyone knows I love that game over DkS1) but out of this 150 hours I've spent in BB, I've never had anything even CLOSE to the gif above happen to me.
Probably an everything build again. By the time I secured the plat, I had a few hundred hours on the clock and my soul level was in the mid-300s.
Not so sure this is hitboxes, as much as the player trying to activate the visceral attack too early. In my experience with Bloodborne, You usually need to wait a second or so after stunning before you hit attack to get the visceral attack to work. Not that I haven't had plenty of times where I've had the same thing happen... or that I really have a horse in this race. I like Dark Souls II and I like Bloodborne.
Edit: My bad. Thought you were talking about the visceral attack not working. Somehow didn't notice the wonky-ass hitbox on the second half of the webm. That does look kinda bad.

There is definitely some questionable hitboxes in BB.
Even greater than the visual style of Ash Lake and an area with actual substance.
On a side note, the OST is drool-worthy as well.
Kinda wanna pick this up but I already beat it, and if I did it again I'd have to do something different. Never used a shield my first play through (2 handed curved greatsword), so guess means I'd have to try using shields for once. But that doesn't sound fund, and Pillars is calling me.

That is the old version.

This thread is turning into a discussion about the hit boxes of BB, DkS1,DsS2 and some DeS...
When will it show up in PSN?

What a stupid post, some people had (god knows I have no idea what people are talking about when it comes to hippo grabs, seems fine to me) no issues in DS2, doesn't mean they didn't exist.
'refuse to believe this gif.'? Just lmao.

Look for the Sir Alonne theme.
I guess I will put my DS2 thread house here now right?
I believe that gif(?), but yeah, can't think if anything like this during my time with bb either, but I can with dark souls 2.
And that's the point
None of the games are perfect, and dark souls 2 is the least perfect.
And there you go. It's easy to cherry pick instances where something like this or similar happened to someone in any of the Souls games and even Bloodborne. But you can't use that as a measuring stick for the overall quality or for the experience that everyone else is having.

Looks like the DX9 version to me. It's a bundle of the old game with the DLC.
The bundle is new, the version of the game isn't.

Did we really even need another OT for new enemy placements with a graphics and framerate bump?
Yes it is. It's just a rebundle of the vanilla game and the DLC and available only in the Japanese store for some reason. It's not the DX11 game.

Correct store link for the DX11 upgrade. This should list the discount if you own the game and/ or DLC already.

Was surprised when I got the email saying this is ready for pickup, thought it was like next week or something, heh. The only problem is I'm nowhere near done with Bloodborne yet. Oh well, guess I'll pick it up tomorrow anyway and jump in once my first run through BB is done. All dat Souls!
Target not confirmed, abort, abort!

Are these new enemy placements harder or fairer? I personally thought they were bullshit in DS2 so I'm gonna hope it's the latter.

jk back to Destiny thread!! Well not sure but just odd that its a thread for the newish version yet half of the comments dont really relate to the main purpose of the thread.

This will be glorious with the YouTube Darude button.
Why can't every game as perfect the paragon of animations, physics and hit detection that is Miyazaki-san's masterpiece Bloodborne?
This is not really a problem in hit detection.
I am currently farming these pigs(fighting many,many of them) and the only attack that has ridiculous tracking is the charge attack.
Its meant to do that because its only dangerous attack and you should never approach that enemy from the front.Once you get close to its back(or even its side) its incredibly easy to avoid any and all of its attacks.
