"I can no longer sit back and allow nationalist shitposting, nationalist indoctrination, nationalist subversion, and the German nationalist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious game balance."
I'm pretty sure there is no "+ damage vs yokai realm". There's "+damage vs yokai" and "something something yokai realm" - the latter is resistance to the yokai realm ki-drain I think. If I remember it right the help description spells it out pretty clearly.

Thanks again for the clarification. Don't have the game yet and I was having a hard time remembering the particulars from the betas.

Nothing has ever happened here, nothing.
I just learned about this game today. I've been playing Bloodborne slowly the past few months and I'm about to take on the DLC but now I'm tempted to drop it and pick this game up so I can get in on one of these types of games during the early parts of the community experience.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I had preordered digital and wanted to upgrade to deluxe, the psn store lets you. (No idea if this is a common thing, first time I've noticed this option)

Dunno if the 20$ is going to go up when the game officially releases tonight. Id hate for there to be a Fallout 4 situation and the season pass ends up being way cheaper.

Alright I'm locked in on digital deluxe and ready to roll.

I was going to just get the standard physical edition, but game prices in Canada are so messed up that it costs $91 in total after tax for a retail game but the PSN (which doesn't charge taxes) is selling the digital deluxe for $100 so I effectively got the season pass for an extra 9 dollars. Thanks PSN!

The season pass is going for $25 at retail right now. There's printed cards with that MSRP so I doubt it'll change. So $20 for deluxe seems like a good value?

Guess I'll go ahead and upgrade...

Get up earlier than normal. I haven't done this since Halo 2 and Borderlands. I can't believe I'm getting up early for a drat video game.

I don't know if it's been up the whole time (I didnt see it earlier) but the online manual is available as of an hour or so ago. Reading through it now.

Is it possible to change stance while doing a ki pulse? I missed the last chance demo by an hour so I'm not 100% clear on the mechanics. I'm down for some jolly cooperation after I spend a little while getting up to speed. PSN is OctoBatt.

It's called Flux and with a skill point invested it grants you bonus ki when you do it.

Yes, and this is pro moves. Open with some light attacks, ki pulse for stamina to return, swap to high stance at the exact same time and unleash some hard-hitting moves.

Pretty good way to go.

And like Belzac said, the skills that give you bonus for swapping stance on ki reset are pretty huge. That and getting ki pulse on dodge are the first skills I'm going to invest in.

Thanks to both of you.

The combat looked fast so I was playing Bloodborne for the last couple days to get used to doing things quickly after a week of Stardew Valley. Ate poo poo on the first enemy. :negative:

This rules so much.

Unlocked an optional side mission where you spawn at the boss location of the first main level, and play it backwards with different spawns and different shrine locations.

This game really has over 100 hours of content. OMG. :allears:

You mean the cat clock cutscene? I don't think the whole game is going to be like that, that was just a somewhat out of place joke.

I didn't quite get the right feeling for the combat in the demo but I more or less have it now, and man is it incredible. A little spoiler about the first area I didn't farm the knights thinking I'd be able to go back, but it seems like I can't, is there any way to get the armor later?

gently caress, dual swords feel OP as gently caress. Especially mid-stance heavy attack chain.

Kusarigama is neat because of its utility but feels sorta weird.

It's real abbreviated, but yeah, I liked the creative re-use of assets that way,

Does the game feel a lot easier than the demos to anyone else? I have only played up through the first main mission and the afformentioned submission, but I am kicking some serious rear end.

This is the best game ever. It feels so good to play. i know it's gonna get harder, and this is a difficulty curve I am okay with.
