I took out the disc for about a month when MGSV came out but after I got the plat it went back into the slot and hasn't left since

The only PS4 games I have physical copies of are inFamous Second Son (because it came with the system) and Bloodborne. So Bloodborne never leaves the slot.

Paul is unimpressed by the glories of the Host.
i took bloodborne out once to watch The Big Boss with some friends but other than that, it never leaves.

isn't it harmful to the disk to leave it in the ps4 (or any disk-based media player for that matter)

It doesn't matter for PS4 because it doesn't actually read anything off the disc

I began to play this again. I was lost somewhere, but it was ok because it allowed me to retrain my skill. I died to an ogre because I forgot that light attack was a thing.

STR/BLT and play with always transformed Wheel as a challenge run

Harrow
Jun 30, 2012

The Wheel is STR/ARC, though. Or is the BLT part of the challenge?

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

I thought BLT boosts the spin charge bonus effect? Would be weird if that was arc scaling considering you're shredding your own arm in the wheel spokes to fuel your lust for the hunt

Weirdly enough it's Arcane. It's actually one of the strongest Arcane weapons if you pump it full of flat Arcane gems or Nourishing gems.

Now that I think about it it'd be weirder if it was Bloodtinge. The Chikage is the only Bloodtinge trick weapon in the base game and it's Vileblood to the core. Logarius would never accept Vileblood methods.

Oh of course, Logarius wouldn't taint his weapons. But it's still doesn't jive with the animation to me. Not as extreme as the blood letter of course

Is the blood letter as epic as it looks? It's either that or church pick for my next run I think

Eh the blood letter has a weird move set. I'd go with church pick.

I've heard so many good things about church pick but I've already done a lot of skill runs. Hmm...

no one should have to choose between the church pick and the bloodletter. theyre both great

i thought the bloodletter was loving cool, though. i didnt bother with the untransformed 1h mode but the 2h is pure power

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

Hmmm what if I went SKL/BLT and enough STR to wield Bloodletter and used both. I assume the transformed mode is like Chikage where only your tinge affects the damage

This is gonna be my PVP guy, btw, who I'll raise to a ridiculous level and try to get to NG+++ as necessary for the echoes.

if you do STR/BLT you can use the big guns, but personally i went SKL/BLT the past two times and only put the minimum points into STR once i was deep enough into the DLC to get the bloodletter

You really get way more echoes from high chalices than from running new game cycles, if you like that kind of thinng

every time I make a new character I think I'm gonna get into the chalices for real this time but I always kinda burn out on the early levels that I don't really like even though I know I really love the cursed/defiled/rotten challenge type ones. Maybe this time for real

Planning a character is so much fun. There's not a whole lot f weapons left that I haven't used but I'm gonna cross off a few more with this run:

Start with skill (probably whip cane as my first weapon) and get the Rifle Spear from old Yharnham (one of the few vanilla weapons I've never used, along with the Reiterapallach)

Go directly to Ludwig after Amelia and summon through him to get early church pick
Play through rest solo until returning for end of DLC and Bloodletter
NG+ and chalices and PVP

Of the remaining weapons I haven't used its Amygdalan Arm, Beast Hunter saif, rakuyo and gehrmann scythe. I'll pick up the rakuyo here though and maybe use it in NG+

Oh I also haven't used the stake driver for much of a run but I've messed around with it enough to know that I don't really like the move set

church pick is after ludwig right? maybe i'll just run ng+ on an existing character and pretend it's new... i have a STR/ARC guy that's only ~lvl 80, so i could put another 40 levels into him to reach the meta.

I haven't made anything good in the creator in a while. I usually use one of my saved templates (classic granny, Morpheus or Brock lesnar)

The amygdala arm is a sick weapon. It's one handed regardless of transformation but transforming it turns it into a hammer whip.

It tears apart crowds

next run is gonna be a cane/beast cutter whipfest, I just have to decide on the character. I'd go for Sailor Venus, but there really isnt much sporty clothing in the game

I really like ng runs where it's a mad dash to get your preplanned weapon as fast you can but I wish there were some cool and risky sequence breaks you can do.

What I mean is as cool as it is to bumrush content as fast as possible for rewards it's disappointing that it's literally impossible to 1v1 fight logarius, amelia, gascoigne etc in NG with like cainhurst weapons, claws, dlc weps etc =(
