From Software Bloodborne. Discuss or die!

The big thing I already dislike is how the game gimps your stats no matter if you're summoned by someone at a higher or lower level than you are. I've also heard from other people I played with that invaders get 30% less health which I am assuming that's where dark souls 3 got that bs.

Nope. Once again a game mechanic that you don't like that originated from Demon's Souls, although it was much harsher there. Your HP could get cut by 50% if you died and the only way to invade others was to do it in soul form.

Your hp could get cut by 50% if you died while invading?

Iin Demon's Souls if you died your HP would get cut by 50% and would stay that way until you regained your body form. The only way to invade or co-op with others in DeS is to do it while you are dead, which meant that you had to do it with 50% less HP. There's a ring that increases your max HP to ~70% if you're dead, but ring slots being quite valuable means that you'll be losing out on something important.

So like souls 2. I would manage then, i still wouldn't like it.

Dark Souls 2 was more lenient about it since it was a slow incremential decrease. DaS1 had decreasing max HP as well but only if you got cursed.

 

[Villagkouras]

And DS2 had 4 ring slots and a fuckload of effigies.

 

[Hyperion]

And the Rings of Sacrifice that could be repaired on death.

 

[sullynathan]

My God the amygdala is such a lengthy and tough fight in NG+. Reminds me of the four kings in dark souls.

It's manageable in NG but in NG+ the shit gets crazy.

 

[Silva]

Hearing sullynathan experiences made me start a new play through. This time with a Bloodtinge, Leone-era Clint Eastwood style gunslinger.

*edit: like this haha




And man, coming straight from Dark Souls 3 it's such a change of pace and intensity. Gascoigne fight alone gave me more thrills than anything in DS3. I love this game.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Reminds me of all the hilarious kind of characters you can make in Bloodborne with the character editor, like

Now fight FRC Depth 5 Amy.

Such a bitch.

 

[sullynathan]

I'm just going through the chalice dungeons. I'm in depth 2 of Hintertoom root and it's quite easy. Most enemies fall after 2 hits and bosses die pretty quickly.

 

[Hobo Elf]

The chalice dungeons start off really easy and boring. Takes a while before they become challenging, but the difficulty takes a sudden sharp turn.

Have fun with Depth 4 Cursed.

 

[sullynathan]

Yeah, i'm finding it nearly impossible to beat the fire guard dog in cursed chalice

 

[Silva]

The cursed Watchdog was the boss who made almost puke. I must have tried around 30 times no kidding. Eventually I've found his weak point: Let him swing and dodge 2 times across its paw. This will put you behind him and let you give a couple swings. Rinse and repeat. And pray his fire butthead don't hit you because that was one-shot kill on me.

On other news, I've never got the Rakuyo because of the shark brothers (I admit it). How da f*** I kill those guys ?

Run away to bait the charge attack, parry it (yes, it has a huge parry window), visceral, rinse and repeat.

 

[Talby]

You can also use a shaman bone blade on one of the shark monsters and they'll fight eachother, making it easy to finish off the other one.

 

[StaticSpine]

You can also kill them from a cliff using a bow or any weapon with longer range.

 

[sullynathan]

I didn't know that there was another area within Mergo's loft. Those frenzy monsters killed me a bunch. I swear the game was trolling the hell out of me, I got invaded like 3 times and died each time since it's been a while since I've played this game.

 

[Brayko]

Having regrets selling my PS4 I really miss Bloodborne and clawing my way down those chalices and fighting Yharnam.

 

[sullynathan]

I just reached the final chalice

Lol noob

 

[Sacibengala]

Great game. Like it more today than the first time I played it. I think that much of it is the fact that dark souls 3 didn't lived up to my hype.

 

[sullynathan]

Queen Yharnam is actually a great boss fight, especially in co op.
I did the moon presence fight after German, beat him first try.

 

[Ivan]

co op.

 

[sullynathan]

co op.

I beat the game solo already so I played co op whenever I could.
