Was this a glitch?

People might have lingered after killing the two bosses to help other people. My point was that help is probably rare back there because you can't do it until you're done with the area, not that it is absolutely impossible for it to happen.Neo Rasa posted:Is it him?

Got The Crew from gamefly and maybe it's been patched a lot or something but I really don't think it's as bad as everyone says. The story is trash and the shameless "spend real money" stuff is ridiculous for a $60 game but I can steer just fine 99% of the time and the open world is pretty neat to drive around in. Reserving the right to rescind this if I eventually hit some mandatory missions that are super hard and unfair

I'm sure it's theoretically possible to win that way, but I'm not that kind of player. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Apr 26, 2015 |

The only one that really pissed me off was the one right before Rom. She had like a million health and her arcane attacks did like 95% damage on me. The group of three was also pretty bad, but I forgot to even go back and kill them at the end of the game after running the first time. They are super optional anyways so whatever.

I loved Silent Hill 1-3 at the time but everything since then has kind of sucked IMO and P.T. (even if it, like the final sequence implies, plays differently than Silemt Hills will) really felt like a breath of fresh air and was probably the only game I've played in the last decade that's really scared the poo poo out me

I didn't use a poison knife, I just let him turn on the Chikage's health drain mode and left. His AI shuts off if you get far enough away so he never switches it off and kills himself. A poison knife wouldn't have lasted anywhere near that long.

Since he just stands there waiting for you in the method I used in the video, he won't even heal. That's why I never bothered attacking him for real before he turned blood mode on, I just wanted him to start the health drain effect so I could leave. You get to see how much health he has this way, which is kind of interesting I guess (about 3400).

I killed the hunter right before Rom by walking through the fog door and then just attacking her through it. All those hunter fights aren't enjoyable at all when done in a non-cheese way because their HP is so high.

Did you read into the hype about how "hard" it was suppose to be? I like your posts, but auhg, this game is what it is and I think you think it was something entirely different than SOULS 4.0, exclusive to ps4, ft; miyazaki director of DeS/DaS1. Sorry you suck at knowing what a game is before buying it. I figured adults had this thing figured out? YOU CAN ALWAYS RENT? WATCH YOUTUBES? I still want to play GTA5 with you, sorry I am a jerk about BB, even If i am a bitch at it, and still haven't gotten the platinum 5 days past due. serious; hard games just arn't for everyone. Can Bloodborne be the equivalent to an arcade in 2015, in terms of taking money or the brutal deaths?

Lord Bloodborne is one of the best PS4 games. I personally bought it knowing is not my tea cup, but because sometimes I try things outside my confort area. I don't like the game, but I would never write that is uninteresting... theres a lot of explorable area and shortcuts that are semi-hidden so is already a minigame to find your way around the map. Then theres the unfair battles against the boss, that I understand many people enjoy. The positives are there for people that like the genre.

Bloodborne is not my usual thing either. Never played any of the souls games, tend to like the modern games inverted difficulty curve where the last half of the game is essentially a superpowered victory lap. I loving love bloodborne. I am not what you would call good at the game, but I really enjoy it. I'm not that far in, I've only beaten 5 bosses; Cleric Beast, Father Gascoigne, Blood Starved Beast, Vicar Emelia, the witch of somewhere or other. Met another boss by running past enemies I couldnt beat but she transported me to a college instead of killing me I'd argue that none of the boss fights are necessarily unfair. Hard as balls absolutely, I didnt keep count of how many times I died to each one, but rarely unfair. For 2 of them (FG and VE) I rang a summoning bell and that was really helpful. Actually killed the witch last night, solo, on my first attempt. I hadnt seen her before so kind of resigned myself to dying learning her pattern but turns out I didnt need to. So either the later bosses arent as hard as some of those early ones or I'm actually getting better at the game. If you dont like the game, fair enough, I'm not trying to persuade you otherwise, but it clicked for me when I realised that finding the shortcuts is (in the early going) essentially the meat of the game. Unlocking shortcuts, balancing whether to risk pushing on or run back to the lamp to upgrade/level and then when you think you are ready to fight the boss you've drastically cut down how long it takes to reach them, which is nce because you will generally get splattered the first few times until you have started to pick up the bosses tells. I'm floored because I honestly thought as I was buying the game there was a 90% chance that I'd end up getting so frustrated that it'd become a makeshift frisbee.

I love Souls games and I love Bloodborne, but the first few hours of my first playthrough were pretty frustrating. I hadn't played a Souls game since the third DLC for Dark Souls 2 came out for PS3, so I was rusty. Once I got past the unnecessarily-crowded first few areas, I was back in the swing of it. Before that, I could see myself making a "fuk this game" post.

The Witches sort of come down to luck. Since you don't know which one you're attacking for most of the fight, you don't know how evenly their health is going down. If you can manage to take them both down quickly it's a piece of piss. The first two times I tried the second one barely took a scratch, and pummelled the poo poo out of me with magic.
