Yeah when I was doing the wharf the other night I would one shot the Viking guys with r1 most of the time but occasionally not kill them on a clean hit and wasn't sure what was going on

yea, it was in dark souls as well. you can also hit enemies with the handle of a weapon instead of landing a proper hit and it does less damage too. try it out with the kirkhammer :P that was in dark souls too i think.

IIRC the kirkhammer was hosed up so the haft did more damage than the hammerhead, you had to be as close to the enemy as possible for max damage. They might have patched that with Old Hunters, I don't know. I'm glad this game is more generous with its sweetspots than DS2, where hitting with any other part of the weapon did pitiful damage; it made halberds, scythes etc. useless

Ebrietas is really easy to kill with the Bowblade. You can shoot her in her head all the loving time for massive damage

It's a nice weapon to have as back up when you're running with a Chikage.

i heard the bow mode completely wrecks the game because the ai can't handle

that would make sense since the base game had 0 threatening ranged options and everything was designed for close up encounters. I bet NG+ with a strong bow blade is a cake walk

well it's not like any of the other soul game had ai that could deal with range characters either :henget:

bloodtinge seems cool but also annoying because u have to depend on guns for damage til u get chikkage or w/e ? or i guess find a blood gem.

You just gotta get by with the Rifle Spear until you can get the Chikage.

The bloodletter switch mode looks awesome, I'm always admiring the ghost swag. I'm going to try it some day but I think the other mode is str scaling which is kind of weird for a blood build

from what i remember, there are glyphs out there for the end of the pthumeru cycle of dungeons. that's pretty far in, and if you're doing those you could beat the game, but it's possible.

if u do 25 skill 50 tinge you can use skill weapons in the mean time. and all of the bloodtinge weapons scale with skill neway. except for the bloodletter in which case u could do 25 50 strength and tinge.

you can probably getone in a first layer pre floor bonus room so you dont have to fight a boss for it. i dont have a glyph for you though. i dont know if its changed but it used to be like if you used the short ritual chalice you could get summoned into a depth 5 chalice even on a low lvl character, so you could get a burial blade straight after amelia if you want to go through all of that.

Worst Game of the Year: Bloodborne

First off we have the award for absolute worst game of the year. Technically, this is the worst game of all time. This game brings nothing but shame to those who play it and those who enjoy it should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this type of evil into their hearts. I have never played a more aggravating and pointless game in my life. I downloaded it in order to do the multiplayer with a friend, but this multiplayer mode isn’t available from the start (first problem of many). So after seven hours of sitting and chatting with my friend in a party while we both tried to beat the first stage, I finally gave up and sat defeated. I wanted my $60 back and I’ve never legit wanted my money back for a video game. Well at least not since that horrendous Superman game on N64.

someone throw this degenerate idiot off a very tall building

At least he never got far enough to discover that, had he been allowed to co-op with his friend, the boss kill would only count for one of them, not both.

Somehow the presence of limited co-op routinely tricks people into expecting that Souls games are like Diablo, where you can play from beginning to end with your pals. And when they discover that you can't the reaction is never "oh, I guess this is a predominantly single-player game with limited multiplayer features" but instead "this is bullshit I should be able to play with my friends however and whenever I want"
