I been thinking of replaying bloodborne again. Idk what weapon I should try tho

change after every boss. and you have to use a weapon u havent used on the boss b4. you have to fight all of the bosses and you cant buy extra chunks or purposefully grind them, so u have to strategise which weapons u get to +9 or 10. neway i just made that up on the spot so no idea if it will be fun

Can you imagine the weapon swap mod from dark souls. Your weapon randomly changing every 10-12 seconds during boss encounters

i keep wanting to replay this, but with breath of the wild, and the last Dark Souls content released soon... i just don't have the time.

The nice thing about this game is that I know I will always replay it again eventually even if it takes a while. Not a lot of recent releases that I see myself picking up again a decade from now but I have no doubt I'll keep coming back to Bloodborne

When I get a PS4 some time this month the first game I get for it will be Bloodborne. Do I buy a physical copy or the psn store one?

The answer is the PSN one apparently because it includes the DLC.

there's no manual, so aside from wanting to save as much space as possible for share stuff and downloaded games, i don't see any reason to not get the PSN version

I want to play the new Nier but I just moved cities and can't really afford the time or money but the return to yharnam event is a good excuse to start a ng. The online community for this game is still huge, I last played through in january and I never had to wait more than a few minutes for resonant or beckoning bells and my messages were being rated constantly

I got the physical and then whenever I had any other disc in my ps4 I just felt like playing bloodborne so I'd go with digital. It's the kind of game you always want to have ready to boot up.

I used the cane for the vast majority (with blade of mercy a bit in chalices) of my first playthrough as well as the DLC and didn't start trying different weapons until my second. It's a fun and versatile weapon, even if it is a bit weak.

Does everything just stop scaling at a certain point on NG+ cycles in double digits

it stops scaling at 7 but the increases from ng+1 to 7 are small anyway

if i remember right ng+7 is approx. double ng+1in terms of added difficulty. and theres the stat cap to consider, so its actually way harder. although it doesnt compare to sl4

Due to how the scaling for HP and things work, at NG+7 won't a lot of things basically one shot you anyways?

There's that insane guy with 1000s of ng cycles that claims something changes past 7 but it's not really noticeable. Something with resistances I think

The big slow Dark Souls bosses are causing me way more trouble than all the others, IDK why.

For the bigger bosses I think the camera and lock on are really the issue.

if you're talking about moving from BB to DS, one of the big things for me was not being able to tank hits and rally life and having to get used to being more cautious. that really is the best system, imo.

No, I mean the Dark Souls-style bosses in BB, like the Undead Giant or the three Merciless Watchers.
