I like that you have to figure that part out on your own, the runes also give you hints so it's not such a huge logic leap, but definitely one of the coolest moments.

I went camping this weekend, the Lunar Eclipse was very appropriate.

I went with an arcane build, and yeah there isnt much in the way of spells, they are fairly well powerful and have good utility, but you'll still be hitting stuff a lot, but you can really take advantage of elemental weaknesses by just slotting your weapons right. Also the flamethrower and the Holy water mister do quite a bit of dmg with high arcane.

I decided to make a new character because NG+ was brutal as gently caress and it's weird how I'm just blowing through the first part of it now.

Im going to probably only do 3 characters max because having to pick up all the upgrade poo poo as items is hellish. In des it was all unlocked from 2-1 and in das1 you needed to get embers but you could at least get to +10 normal weapons before the 2nd half of the game because the large ember was a boss fight away from the first blacksmith

its fairly freakin obvious when you walk through an ominous door onto a plank leading to a glowing magical lake with a wheelchair wizard pointing towards the edge

the only thing the game didn't do was just to plaster a "JUMP OFF THE EDGE RETARD" sign at the end and even then that's what the player messages are for.

what's the message system/culture like on bloodborne? being a colossal easily pleased idiot, I can't help but cackle at 'horse ... therefore wheel?', 'try dashing through but hole', 'listen carefully, skeleton!' etc. in inappropriate places, but I don't have a good sense of the funy message laughs of bloodborne and its more complex message system, beyond 'reeks of wheelchair, no mercy for elderly'.

if you put a message like "secret ahead, don't give up!" with the pointing gesture at a conspicuous wall you will get a lot of likes

I have one that's right past a spike log pressure plate near a bonfire that is "oh I can't wait hee hee" with the clapping gesture that heals me fairly often (as the easiest way to read it involves stepping on the plate)

i just learned that chikage, kirkhammer, and ludwig's big sword can combo out of their sheathe transform from a neutral position (normal/no movement, no attacks) into a neat attack, and kirkhammer/bigsword can combo from the straight sword transform. very epic

there's one level in a library where you cant reach a certain area on a balcony because a bookshelf is in the way. you could easily slide through it irl but because its a videogame you cant so there's about a dozen "no mercy for fatty" messages in that area.

also seen tons of messages saying there's treasure at the bottom of the elevators and a lot of gravestones right next to them.

Every weapon has a transform attack if you transform in a combo or after dodging.

i know that but that's not what i'm talking about, read what i wrote you freaking idiot!!!

you transform and then attack during the animation while you're sheathing the sword... without doing any other attack
it's different from the combo transform, or the dodge transform, and only exists on those weapons. gently caress u

Yeah I try to include transformation attacks into all my combos because of that. Like the Kirkhammer, you can do a two handed sword swing that only comes out of you hit attack right after transforming, or a thrust with the hammer head after attaching it.

the whip to cane transform attack is real good too, it's kind of bad for bosses until you upgrade it but crowd control is sick from the start
