I kicked her / its / their arses!

Well, actually, I just ran about and two big boys did most of the fighting.

Then I found the abandoned workshop: that was pretty fucking odd.

Then I tried to go through a door and a giant ghost hand squished me.

Forbidden Forest: Done!
Woman in the clinic: Pwned!
Three wizard dudes: Rekt!

Bugger, that was a slog. In happier news the next area (Burgerworth or whatever) is tiny! I got to Rom, but I'll leave him for tomorrow.

If you picked up anything in the clinic, give it a wee examine.

There is a letter you can pick up in there. It would appear in the keys section.

Hmm, nope. Does it matter when you kill her, or if you don't send her any people, do you think?

Nah, should be sitting on a table there. I believe in the room which leads down to the first area of the game.

No. Should be a summons letter which you pick up, on the bench where you get the injection right at the beginning of the game. (Next to the blue alien thing)

In all seriousness, once you get inside, it's not too bad. I found the things outside unkillable.

I'm so close to the end of this now, I reckon I could jizz on it.

The fucking buildings are hurting me now if I look at them funny.

Also: crowhounds! And houndcrows!

Yeah, you can stop them hurting. Eventually.

Although I found the frenzy resist rune was enough.

It's not actually the buildings. I think you should apologise to them.

Post subject:  Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4

Ha, I got the "true" ending without even trying! In your fizzace, Bloodborne!

I nearly took the "good" ending too, so that was close.

Missed a couple of areas and bosses completely, though.

At a guess, Logarius. Despite my best attempts to get you to fight him.

I found him to be the most bastardly hard boss of the main game.
And the entirity of upper cathedral ward. Which contains the boss mosy people found the most bastardly hard boss (but I killed first try)

Author:  Pundabaya [ Fri Dec 18, 2015 11:08 ]
Post subject:  Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4

Yeah, Logarius is a fucking bastard. The Upper Cathdral Ward is a bastard too. Though I didn't have much difficulty with either of the bosses.

Yeah, I missed upper Cathedral Ward. I was going to go back and do it (I knew I'd missed something because I bought some sort of key for 10k but never used it), but I guess I just got lumped in New Game +?

I don't know which key you're talking about. I don't remember any buyable keys. The key you can find is called the upper cathedral ward key though.

And yeah, it dumps you into NG+ immeditately after the ending. Except for Chalice dungeons which don't change in any way.

Oh, that.

Yeah, that's fairly useless. Lets you get into the main area of cathedral ward without killing the blood starved beast.

Post subject:  Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4

After Zaphod's note in the Bargains thread, I'm umming and ahhing over getting this, given, by all accounts, it's a brilliant, rewarding game.

However, as someone who has tried and failed to get into Dark Souls several times (not persevering beyond the 1-1.5 hour mark), with the latest attempt scuppered by framerate issues on the 360, would this likely be a waste of £25?

Is it simply not for everyone?

Or is it for everyone, provided they're willing to graft and give it considerable time and attention?

Author:  Mr Dave [ Thu Jan 21, 2016 14:51 ]
Post subject:  Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4

It's not for everyone. If you don't like a challenge, or exploration, it's not for you. But it is excellent if it is for you. But still not as good as Dark Souls.

I can't comment on framerates, as I don't tend to notice them. So it means little when I say I never had any problems with any of them.

Post subject:  Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4

Worth a go. It never really pulled me in, I got fucked off with it. I don't have all that much time for playing games so what time I do get I want to be seeing something new rather than eking out precious progress after clearing the same area for the fifteenth time.

Post subject:  Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4

Thanks both.

markg, I suspect my experiences may end up chiming with yours then. I have very little time for gaming these days, snatched 30 minutes before bed time normally. I fear such circumstances mean these kinds of games are out of bounds for me.

Which is a shame.

Did you make a big HULK SMASH character or a zippy little ninja one?

Because unless you did the latter, it does somewhat suck.

Author:  Cras [ Thu Jan 21, 2016 17:04 ]
Post subject:  Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4

I did a zippy ninja one. I'm maybe not zippy ninja enough. My issue with all games like this is I have little patience with 'flawlessly execute every action because if you fuck up you're dead and have to retry' because I'm just not good enough, I guess. Same reason I never liked the early Resident Evil games - when I shoot at stuff, I miss quite often. I use the 'quantity has a quality all of its own' school of combat.

Having said that, I have a sword cane thing that appears to be made of meccano and turns into a whip or some shit, which is about the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Using it is fine, as long as you're not nearby to a wall or something. I just can't stand that whole 'kill everyone all over again. And again. And again' thing it shares with Dark Souls

Whereas killing everyone again to steal the same Titan again is fine, obviously.

I would like to back up Mark's opinion. I love a challenge and hard games in general, but Demon's Souls and this just didn't click with me. I've never played the Dark Souls games though.
