Heh, I missed that window and I don't normally miss much. Chap sounded from the Outer Hebrides.

Nah his Echoes will be on the ground or in a wee guy.
[EDIT - I'm wrong, he had them. That's unlucky.]

Listening to the couch peanut gallery giving all this bad advice for Bloodbourne is pretty funny, chat is losing their minds lol.
Chat is the worst during Souls streams. Everyone is a loud as hell Souls expert but often is as wrong as the GB guys are about stuff.
Oh strange, I just remember the chat/comment section during the previous Souls series GB has done.

I've been in a few chats while people play Bloodborne, and it's been mostly cordial/helpful. It's way different than the commentary I've seen around DS and DSII.

Armchair From Software developers come out of the woodwork during any Souls stream, it's the same during Jeff Green's streams too. These games have such different viable play styles and strategies that no one person is right.

Brad's mostly correct about the weapon preference stuff, but the Saw weapons are like the only exception. They have junk scaling.

I know about it, but I rarely think to do it. Of course, I'm using the threaded cane. I usually just use the different modes for single enemy or crowd control.
He knows about it, they talked about it on a Bombcast. Probably just never uses it.
I find it useful when fighting tougher enemies to do more damage.
But he just acted completely surprised when Brad told him about it.

The only person who could give good advice is stuck in the control room.
But Brad literally told him that you could do that on a Bombcast, so who knows.
I guess that's just Dan.

Brad's giving good advice, to be fair.
Ive found the cane to not scale as well as the saw Jeff's using. I'm using the axe occasionally but I like the swifter weapons.
I wonder if health recovery even after an enemy is dead and you keep swinging is intentional or a bug.

Both of them have barely have a surface level understanding of the mechanics in these games.

Everybody needs to play bloodborne
I just reached a point in the game and the atmosphere keeps on getting better and better

I was disappointed when killing someone with a pebble wasn't an achievement.

If ever you were not going to have chat open for a stream...
The level to which a great deal of the fanbase for these games is up their own ass is just astounding.

Yeah, I learnt that with people just bitching about how Vinny was "playing the game wrong" when he was going tank in Dark Souls.
But they know how to stagger, (Brad did that a lot during the QL) charge, probably the visual cues of enemies they've fought. This is just Jeff playing for the first time.

Scanning the environment for all manner of visual cues, attack patterns and their interrupt frames, staggering, charge attacks, aggro, general item usage, stats...
The person who should be communicating the game's mechanics to Jeff as somebody who knows his way around a videogame but hasn't messed with Souls games before would be Jason.

The chat was broken for me when I opened the page, I didn't bother refreshing to get it to work and I'm feeling pretty good about my decision!

I mean, as someone who hasn't played this game, it seems like Jeff's doing okay to me.
giant_frying_pan
Member
But...Jeff literally just started the game. It's more fun to learn these games than read a wiki or be told all the leet stratz!
In my opinion at least.
TheMrPliskin

He's doing really well for someone with very limited souls experience.
Yeah, it's fine. I like that the fanbase is growing for these games that I enjoy very much.
Yeah, he's got the flow of Souls combat down pretty good even though he's of course not staggering enough etc. (but he's still very early).
I'm not noticing too much framerate hitching.

Is my stream being weird, or is the framerate in this game just that inconsistent?

They should really open the shortcut through the dark house before they fight the boss. Also, he should buy that armor.
Jeff is actually really good for a first time player. Some people just get video games.

Which is kind of what's driving my comments, Jeff already seems to be significantly more competent at the game than the rest of the couch, let him play and have somebody who can give good answers there for any questions he may have.
Basically, Jeff x Jason Bloodborne premium run please.

Jeff *is* Potato Marshall! He does love griefing as Spelunky showed us.
Yeah Sleeping, the framerate is poop.
[EDIT - That's a feature I'd be in for, Mickey!]

Jeff is proactive and assertive in action games. This helps him out very much!
The game does have the occasional drop and a more consistent frame pacing issue. The stream is probably making it worse than it is.

See I played the game two days before EU release and I had no wheelchair warning! I enjoyed slaughtering him the fifty or so times after.

Ah, ok. It seems to be when the camera swings around, so that could certainly be a combination of small frame drops and the stream.
