Game is very good, sword cane that turns into a sword whip is awesome, first boss has way too much health but the second one is really good. Namaste

I rescued a prostitute and she said the only way she could repay is with her blood and I refused the treatment because this is the first time i have ever seriously been concerned that my character was going to catch AIDS

By using the "create a similar face" button you can get some real mutants.

And of course all your hair colors are still on RGB sliders

The game is 2 patches away from perfect. One to let me compare items at the store to what I have equipped, and one to fix the loading

Hey man you do what you gotta do to get through. Hey so is there nothing you can do in Cathedral Ward after beatin Gascoin? I'm just wondering if im missing something or if I just have to go to Old Yarnham next.

Old Yarnham is next in terms of difficulty but it's optional; the next area in terms of progression is through a gate that needs the 10000 soul key

When you get to the enemy hunter with a lot of hp on top of the gun tower in Old yarnham you can just dodge his gun, run up and combo attack him til he falls off the tower lol... The badge he drops will be lost though so you have to go to hunters dream and back to get the item to spawn again on top of the tower.

You can just quit the game and reload and the items will be where he spawns

i made it to what looked like a church in old yharnam with a bunch of burning crosses outside it. i saw inside that there was a big thing just sort of breathing and waiting. i said gently caress that and ran to safety and used my blood echoes in peace

old yarnham is the deep south of the bloodborne world

I think it's hilarious that you can upgrade your torch, it does poo poo load of damage against beasts, I also picked the Cruel Fate origin so the arcane boost is pretty decent on it,it was way useful in old Yarnham.

Just use the flamethrower

After dying to the boss on the first level of this chalice dungeon over 10 times in a row, I have come to the conclusion that I am bad at this game

That boss is the hardest part of the whole dungeon congrats

Yeah the whole "hitting gives healing" and the fact that a lot of bosses actually go apeshit if you put a lot of distance between them is to try and break the souls habit of frantically rolling behind a pillar to drink some fanta during boss fights

There aren't any enemies in the Hunters Dream area so I guess it's "easy" if you run around swinging your weapon around when there's nothing around.

i dropped my controller while i was going up to talk to her, and accidentally whacked her but she seemed chill about it

Holy poo poo I was not expecting all this lovecratian poo poo to be happening based off the early part of the game, the enemies and locations and poo poo are continuing to get creepier and crazier as I keep going, it's pretty awesome.

Also i think the reason this game has the best feeling combat of any souls game is because they could balance every single fight knowing exactly how every player is able to dodge and roughly how much damage they take per hit

is bloodtinge or arcane worth it at all past a few points? i mean i was gonna go str+skill anyway because i always have fun with quality builds but i havent seen anything solid for them yet, though im still not too far

You don't get any magic till late in the game but the magic you do get is some crazy poo poo

i got tired of dying to the shadow of yharnam so i decided to go exploring. some guy in the forest gave me a stone so i went to visit the church like he said. a huge nightmare thing picked me up and sent me to a lecture hall? then i went somewhere called the nightmare frontier where all the monsters are like something straight out of a lovecraft story? what the gently caress is going on!

the whole game is secretly a lovecraft story

the whip is really good for pvp because you can cheese it and circle around a pillar or something and hit them when they're on the other side of it

The part of yahargul towards the end with all the frozen stone villagers is legit the creepiest part of any souls game to date

Did anyone actually figure out if insight makes poo poo harder because it doesn't seem to

The blue dudes with lanterns dont shoot magic at you if you're under 15 insight. I'm sure there are more differences but that's the most noticable one that's confirmed
