It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.


Speaking of Reddit though I have been successfully trolled before. Right after Bloodborne came out someone posted an extremely detailed and convincing method of keeping Gascgione's daughter alive and leading her to the friendly chapel area and talked about how all the NPCs there started worshipping her and poo poo and I jumped through a bunch of the supposedly necessary hoops to make it happen and of course it never did lol. But there is still a very small part of me that believes to this day.....

The way that the background music switches up once a boss fight hits its second phase is so smoothly implemented and so cool and so far for me the Abyss Watcgers have been the best example. Im really excited to listen to the soundtrack but I'm holding off til I beat the game because I wanna experience all the tracks first in the context of their respective bossfights

I'm on PS4 and very down to try to see if this works. You're talking a combination of red soapstone sign/password matching right? I'm mattnotgeorge on PS4 if you want to shoot me an add and coordinate this. Based on your posting you are way ahead of me in the game but apparently when you password co-op your level gets scaled to match the host's and Im also curious to see if the same happens with password'd red sign PVP as well (if that's even a thing?) -- so yeah add me up and let's figure this poo poo out

Ok maybe tomorrow tho I don't know when you're going to bed or whatever but I'm in Korea and its 3pm which is my workout time. I'll add you when I get back for sure

I started NG+ and yeah its kind of disappointing how except for the occasional item it seems to just be enemy damage x 20, enemy health x5 because I still oneshot everything with my +5 Dancer swords


By the way if you like twinblades, keep those babies equipped in PVP. If you see someone wearing lovely, low-poise armor you can stunlock them for like 30 seconds and kill them if their armor has bad slash resist. This is a great way to destroy lovely sub 30% roll attack Uchigatana spammers.

The only chestpiece that is cooler IMO is the Black Hand chestpiece, which I wear with Leonhard's swaggy tricorne to complete my bloodborne cosplay.

I beat the game and don't know what to do now lol. NG+ isn't very exciting for me although the PVP is fun. I guess I could do an everything caster run but thats a lot of running past stuff to grab tomes... The places with the tomes were annoying as gently caress with a super tanky STR/DEX build, and I'm sure its worse with an extremely squishy caster.

Good Lord Fisher!
Jul 14, 2006

Groovy!

I assumed NG+ would be remixed or different in some way, or at least harder than it is.... Its on the boring side, I have to admit. Thinking about starting up a caster myself.

I beat it as well and fought all the bosses without summoning so I started a new char to jump in to all the covenants that I missed...but whenever I enter a multiplayer session everyone just slides around without any animation and i dunno if i can even play like this

Apparently that's a lag related issue. Try turning off global matchmaking if you're using it.

FWIW they have even less poise than Lothric knights.

the enemy AI in this game is on point. the knights and slower enemies actually have guard breaks and stuff and back/sideways attacks so you cant easily back stab them. its so much better than the ridiculous tracking from ds2. it can't be said enough: this game is the pinnacle of human achievement
