Anybody here got it yet? I just got mine and am downloading the update on with my crappy internet connection. The reviews have been good, which doesn't really matter to me since I was with the Souls game since Demon's Souls.

I've seen a lot of people talking about it on other tech forums, but don't know shit about it tbh.. Is it related to the Dark Souls games?
I played the second one, and couldn't get into it..the game play just seemed very linear, and I'm not a glutton for punishment like some of these others that want extreme difficulty. I got enough sadism in my gaming career during the Genesis and SNES eras, back when I couldn't beat the majority of the games I owned because they were all so god damn hard back then.
The thing is, a lot of those games from the 8 and 16 eras were difficult because they were cheap. Enemies suddenly flashing onscreen giving you a millisecond of response time unless you've got the movement memorized is cheap.Quote:

I appreciate the difficulty. It makes you feel like you've really accomplished something the first time you drop a boss. That's pretty rare in gaming nowadays.
Shit... if there was such a thing as a gamer resumé, I would gladly put beating Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 & 2 on there. I've noticed the action in Bloodborne is a lot faster than those other three games. They've also gotten rid of the shield for your left hand and instead have given you a gun which means you can't cautiously inch your way through the game like you would with the other games in the series. My first play throughs of those other games involved me getting the best armor and shields and having my shield up most of the game. Makes me wonder how different the tension is with having a gun there. Anyway, sign me up. I'm in.
Heard this game is extremely difficult.
I like a challenging game but there is a point where a game stops being a game and more of a pain in the ass.
It looks a LOT like Nightmare Creatures, one of the OG games for PS1, which was a great game.
That thing kicked ass on the Dreamcast.Quote:

He got some sick moves. I think that's the first game that started showing the bone breaking.
After that I lost complete touch with the series.
Cleric Beast was piss-easy.
Yeah, that's Devil's Wrath.. the guy you're talking about is the one you unlock after beating the game..he was the shit.Quote:

it's basically dark souls jack the ripper but you heal if you hit them again like a reaper.
strategic button smashing almost. fucking weird.
I've beaten the Last of Us on grounded mode and it's hard to imagine anything being as daunting after that so I will probably buy this game
Fuck the Blood Starved Beast and its fucking poison and fucking one hit kills. Fuck him up his stupid ass.
Long load times are gone! Thank you based update!
Okay, now that I found the original thread... :lol
How are y'all liking this game? Some parts are pretty fucking hard tbh. Just beat the Shadows of Yarnham, that shit took forever
Also does anyone got the whole Chalice dungeon thing figured out? I get I can create dungeons but don't fully grasp it yet tbh
:lol
I don't fully get them, but I'm lazy. I did a few levels after I beat the game, and I was way overleveled.Quote:
