guys I just cannot overstate how hype the Bloodborne All Bosses run is going to be. Please watch it. It will completely remove the stench of that dumb rear end in a top hat who was bad at the game a couple years ago who did any% by cheating his stats all the way up and facehugged all the bosses. sigh.

"All Bosses" is an insanely hype route and it includes the DLC bosses and the routing is super fun. Bloodborne is also a masterpiece and this is the run it deserves .....


Just have fun and post! Good posting power comes from the heart, not the memes my friend. It is an honor to have you join us on our ship.

i have never played or seen bloodborne but i love souls games and have 100%ed them all (including demon's souls :gonk: )

1. will the run make sense?
2. will the run spoil things in the event i ever play bloodborne?

It's going to essentially show off the whole game so yes of course it will spoil things

It's probably an AGDQ. They get Power Up to do the SGDQs and they are top notch. (Power Up can't do AGDQ cause of schedule)

i meant more in terms of "will they be revealing how to beat the bosses/areas the way a normal pleb like me can use or can i still play and bumble around like a moron for 2/3rds of the game until i figure out how to play it correctly"

it'll spoil things that you probably don't really care too much about being spoiled about, and the stuff you do will be so fast that you are honestly not going to catch it

you are gonna see a bunch of bosses and how they fight, but it probably will do you zero good when you play it as they are going to crush you until you learn it yourself anyway

and the run will make sense in the sense that you are just watching him be a badass and kill monsters who could wreck him easily

Hello wawa/philly friend (let's go all the way eagles!)

The run will make sense in that he's gonna be running around owning poo poo like a b adass epic hunter, iirc there are only a couple oob moments in the run that'll not make sense but you will appreciate the menuing, routing and boss kills. Like any souls game there aren't much in the vein of cutscenes and dialogue so all that will be spoiled, if it matters to you, are locations and bosses.

I think you should watch it! Bloodborne is a masterpiece and the run will prob only make you more pumped to play it, in this humble's poster's opinion

Oh well I dunno. I know what I personally would be most concerned about is just seeing the cool bosses.

I post about it every year but I still don't understand why anyone reads twitch chat! I'm not even the type that gets offended at anything but there is just zero value in it and it's literally unreadable cause of the speed and it's a race to the bottom as far as trying to be obnoxious so why bother! Hang in here with us instead! :)
