Re: Bloodborne

Ah man that sucks. The last 2 fights are alot of fun. Good thing theres ng+ tho

My guy feels underpowered as hell on NG+. I think I'm a level 82 now. I fought the Cleric Beast and it felt like I was doing no damage at all. I thought I'd be running through everybody lol.

That does seem a little low. But its not so much that its low as much as you need to do chalice dungeons. Or well you dont NEED to do them but the gems you can get from there make a world of difference. I went into my NG+ at level 100 with 3 +27% physical damage gems from chalice dungeons. They help tremendously. Also did you find the blood rock at the end of NG to +10 your weapon? Thats helps as well.

Re: Bloodborne

Hey Bloodborne vets, finally decided to take the plunge and play this game...I've had it since release, but for some reason didn't play it until now.

My question is are there any pros/cons to playing online or offline? Not sure which one to pick or is it the same experience?

Thanks

Playing online will enable the ability to co-op (obviously) but you'll also see "notes" spread around the world which are generally helpful tips/hints from people.

I recommend playing it off line the first time through. Watching notes and ghosts of other player hunters ruins the first playthrough for me. The second time I played the game on new game plus I went online and was much better for co op and pvp

Just my opinion though

Man I disagree wholeheartedly there. Playing online as a first timer is amazing. Player notes can be extremely helpful and if I get stuck in an area their ghosts can sometimes offer helpful strategies. Based on my experience online seems to be the best way to experience these games. Plus their "ghosts" fit right in with the world IMO.

One other thing too that's nice... You're not stuck with your decision. Each time you boot up the game it allows you to choose whether to play online or off.

Basically, this game does just about everything right, lol.

Re: Bloodborne

How do you save your progress in this game? I just started playing an hour and a half ago and made it up to the bridge/overpass that has two dog like enemies on it and died. Now, im near the beginning and worse, I have to fight all the enemies that I already defeated. Is the entire game like this? Where are the save points?

You need to light the lamps. The lamps appear after you defeat a boss.

Welcome to From Software games. Enjoy your stay. I'm hesitant to explain this because it kind of goes against the spirit of these kinds of games, but getting frustrated right off the start really sucks.

There are lanterns that act as checkpoints and allow you to return to the hub area, but they are few and far between. There are also usually shortcuts you can open as you progress through an area (gates and elevators, and I think a locked door or two in the first area) that will allow you to quickly get back to where you were, if you die.

You need to activate both the lanterns and the shortcuts before you can use them.

Jeez. I don't mind saving manually but having to find/light a lamp and the short cuts just to save progress is ridiculous. Never played any of the Souls games whatsoever and it's the first time im actually playing Bloodborne since I tried it out at launch.

Having to go through all the enemies I defeated already repeatedly if I die and having to do what's required in order to save the progress im making isn't a good thing to get newbies like me into the game. Camera, controls and combat isn't helping me either.

What's worse is that I realize that there's no in-game manual or controller configuration diagram which is horrible especially when there's no manual/booklet nowadays. UGH.

Re: Bloodborne

Theyve made it so you can run past the enemies if you so choose though obviously if you need to level up or somthing you can always fight them.

I implore you to not give up man. Bloodborne was the first From game I really dove into, but I was incredibly frustrated for the first few hours. It's actually a blessing at the start being able to kill enemies over and over, as it hones your skills.

Trust me man, when you beat your first boss, it will click. This game is far and away my favorite game on the PS4, and this is coming from someone who was in the same boat as you when I first started it up.
