The load times are a problem though, but thats mostly because I am just staring at the logo for 30 seconds. If there was some flavor text or lore to read, I probably wouldn't have noticed the load times.

I was really upset about that before release, but the game is so amazing I don't even care. I don't even disagree that it's bad. I just am literally in love with the game.

It feels like Demon's Souls done better.

Spoiler

I gotta go life.

 

[PatThePassive]

From what I've heard, contact with a ghost just means you pass through it and feel cold, so...no.

But isn't the ghost passing through you technically intercourse?

 

[ArclightBorealis]

All these fucking life heathens...

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

WOULD YOU SCREW A GHOST YES OR NO YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS.

Yes.

Didn't even take me one second. I've seen Ghostbusters.

 

[zedreamcast]

Yes.

Didn't even take me one second. I've seen Ghostbusters.

ARE YOU THE KEY MASTER?

Considering you don't hallow in BB.... I guess the load times are the only penalty for death asides from losing your echos.

 

[Retro Samurai]

Also, seriously with these load times and being unable to hit a solid 30 fps.
Pretty sure you're supposed to optimize the game before release.

Do push ups for every death during the load times.

My regiment:

Regular death = 10 sit ups.
Dumb death = 15 sit ups.
Boss death equals = 20 push ups
Every fifth death you do twice of whichever you died of, I. E. 20 sit ups, 30 sit ups, 40 push ups.

Hi Aaron.

But isn't the ghost passing through you technically intercourse?

I think sexual intercourse is implied to be vaginal, heance the "sexual" part. Thaty's just her phasing through you.

 

[beinfilms]

But isn't the ghost passing through technically intercourse?

Ehhhhh...no physical contact means no pleasure from nerve endings. You'd be better off humping the air, since at least then, you don't get cold ever time you make contact with the ghost.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Ah, to be young and ignorant. You will learn that boobs are just fake asses as you grow more wise.

Yeah, but to be honest, despite the love I have, load times are still bothering me solely because Bloodborne didn't implement the superior dark souls traveling mechanic.

It wouldn't really make sense for BB to have the DS traveling mechanic considering everything you do with your blood echos, item management, etc. is at the hub world anyway and 9/10 times that's where you're going to when you get to a lamp, whereas in DS, you could level up at a bonfire and do all your micromanaging there.

For lore reasons, its a respite from the very dark and aggressive tone of the world around you and offers a place for your hunter to recuperate, whereas in DS everything was pretty static so a bonfire was all you needed as a place to recoup. Its a design decision and I can see why he did it the way he did for this game.

But don't think for a second I'm defending the load times, because I am definitely against those being as long as they are. But at this point its just beating a dead horse and it is getting patched out soon.

 

[RecursiveFault]

I can't wait till more people in here beat the game. This is the most consistently good 'Souls' game yet by far.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

You life motherfuckers are just blind to the ways of the bootang.

Hi Aaron.

Hi.

 

[beinfilms]

Yes.

Didn't even take me one second. I've seen Ghostbusters.

But...all of the ghosts in that movie are super gross (case in point, Slimer).

Are you sure you're not thinking of the demonic possession?

Ray has a dream where he fucks a ghost. That ghost could get it.

Shit, really? What happened?

Good choice.

You don't know that.

I watch that movie multiple times a year. I love it to death.

I don't remember what she looks like. Pic?

 

[Ants]

I was carefully looking at the JJBA PS1 fighter and apparently it has a sick mechanic whereby you activate a Super, input a bunch of inputs, and your Stand executes them while you're free to do whatever.

No spoilers here.

That is a fucking insane mechanic.

No. Although if she looked cuter... Like so. Maybe.

Probably.

I'm getting a 403 on the first link. nevermind

 

[beinfilms]

I just realized the degree to which I'm a show person, rather than a movie person. Given the choice, I'll pretty much always watch a few episodes of a show than a movie of the same length.

I think it's because comedy shows allow the jokes to be less connected, opening up more options, and dramatic shows allow much more character development and allows the plot to be paced a bit more slowly, in a good way.

I like going to a theater, but if I'm a living room environment it's a toss up. Movies last too long for one sitting and shows have to be really enjoyable to hold my attention.

I'm slightly biased because I don't like 90% of TV.

Shows don't last 2-3 hours, which is nice.

I've had none of that in BB. And I know exactly the wolf he's talking about, I kind of just reacted super quick. It scared the shit out of me, but I got away from it with the roll.

I think the only time I've ever felt really cheated in a death in a souls game is DS2 with the broken hitboxes on bosses and that one ogre that bursts through the door and one shots you with absolutely 0 hint/indication.

At least if a wolf hits you it doesn't do much unless its a combo.

I mean, I don't watch real TV pretty much ever (except when new episodes of shows I care about are coming out). I'm all about that Netflix.

Movie theaters are fun, but they also tend to be fucking expensive, so I usually end up only going either if it's a movie I'm really hyped for, or if I have a date, or something.

I can't sit still and watch a movie or TV show, I have to be playing a game at the same time. Zero attention span.

I feel like panic dodge is way more viable than it ever was in souls. If you're scared just hold back and mash circle.

My family dropped satellite and cable awhile ago. All about dat netflix.

I always see movies on matinee or other discounts, only go to early screenings for something I'm really excited for like Pacific Rim.

Though, I feel like I'm drifting away farther and farther from TV and Movies, and just playing more video games (and dipping my toes in popular/classic anime). I mean, I've been meaning to see Guardians of the Galaxy since release, and after friends cancelled on me three seperate times, I just gave up. I basically haven't been in a theater since the Robocop remake.

If I do that, I just stop watching the show entirely because I get focused on what I'm playing.

Yeah, but I have to do the whole machine gun gauntlet again to reach the wolf.
So..

 

[skLaFarebear]

The recovery time between dodges is significantly less than the recovery time between rolls, reducing the amount of time it take to back to being invincible in the i-frames.

 

[RecursiveFault]

Did you get the shortcut?

 

[beinfilms]

I can't sit still and watch a movie or TV show, I have to be playing a game at the same time. Zero attention span.

I do that, too (mostly out of habit more than anything else), unless it's something I really want to pay attention to, like a new episode of Agents of SHIELD.

Also, are you new? Welcome!

Spoiler

I really hope you're new, and not just someone I don't recognize, because that'd be really awkward.

 

[AngryCanadian]

Yeah, but I have to do the whole machine gun gauntlet again to reach the wolf.
So..

There is plenty of safe spots on the way to him. Just make it your top priority to take him out.
