ps4 facts: the only time i dipped below 20 fps was fighting 3 player enemies at once in a closed room w/ no smoke effects or anything, at a time when they all fired their guns. it was hosed up.
i downloaded bloodborne instead of having a disc and in certain areas/situations my hard drive slows and makes scary noises while my tv does the "your computer is dying" noise and frames start to skip but it stays a solid 30+

My game hitches up all the time on disc, but I think it's a network thing bc it's only been happening today and my internet has been spotty all evening for some reason

I'm kinda surprised I haven't found a single twin stone shard despite maxing out my weps after like the first boss.

I think the spooky bag guys that hit like a ton of bricks drop them pretty regularly

Holy poo poo I was not expecting all this lovecratian poo poo to be happening based off the early part of the game, the enemies and locations and poo poo are continuing to get creepier and crazier as I keep going, it's pretty awesome.

Also i think the reason this game has the best feeling combat of any souls game is because they could balance every single fight knowing exactly how every player is able to dodge and roughly how much damage they take per hit

the only slowdown ive experienced is in that Hemwick area, when I kill a specific molotov-throwing lady my game hitches when I'm collecting the echoes. also the blade wolves in that area are good for farming, they ususally drop blood shards and sometimes drop twin shards.

There was an ogre with a ball and chain in one of the chalice dungeons I did. Nightmarish. Really anything with a ball+chain is loving terrifying to fight.

its the kirkhammer, except instead of the hammer part you get a really good greatsword. the 1h sword part is identical i think

those guys are like the easiest dudes though, dodge their first attack, hit em with a charge attack, then while they're doing their angry animation hit em with another charge attack

gently caress my saw blade is at +6 I think (145 +44 with gems) and still has bullshit scaling. The kirkhammer can go S rank?! Jesus

Farming twin blood offf the baggers is great cause the spawn is RIGHT there. Fantastic.

please tell me it doesnt do the ds2 thing where enemies despawn after you kill them enough

that was probably the worst change ever

I liked that, but it doesn't do that. Instead when you beat bosses in certain areas, the enemy patterns are slightly different

Question for those who are further than me: does the second tombstone only have the witches fight? I can't find another path in that area and it seems crazy short

i felt it was really dumb because
a. limits the amount of stuff you can farm which would be fine if some of that stuff wasnt extremely limited
b. you can just run around everything anyway if youre in a rush so it just makes problem A even stupider
