I don't know about you, but I thought that was brilliant co-op. Easy to get into with the password system, not too much hanging around (and the odd instant connection) , not too much slow down (even though there was some especially with all the nonsense going on) and just generally a barrel of laughs when we weren't getting smashed to pieces time and time again by the big bastard boss.

I especially enjoyed our GANK SQUAD getting pummelled and almost wiped out by a lone invader.

I've got 3 things left to do before I'm completely done with the DLC and can add it to the Finish 52, if you want in:

Blood Beast in the dark.
Two fish giants in the well.
Last boss.

The last two are available close to the last lamp. I'll gladly repay the favour with any bosses you want deadid.

Ok, reached final boss now, so can (try to) help you with it.

This is surprisingly easy.

There's no Valtr to assist neither. If you're around later I'd like to smash it.

That whole area was pretty excellent though, right?

I were a little crap during that last fight. Watching it back, You could tell my concentration was lagging a little.

Plus I'd forgotten that was the one I experimented with the bow blade. Which was utterly shit. And the one you cancelled my backstab. Tsh.

Started Bloodborne last night.

I managed an hour or so.

I chose a character with a violent past (I am from the north afterall).

I chose a natty beard and burns combo that's on the right side of the Victorian cad/hipster divide.

I chose the saw and blunderbuss.

It took an age to equip my weapons (as per Zaphod earlier in the thread).

I have made a couple of trips back to the Hunters Dream to sell my blood echoes for better gear.

So I'm basically still at the start. Killed a few manky dudes. There's a big gathering of them in some town square that I'm going to go and fuck up. After that, who knows.

I'm enjoying it, feels less obtuse than Dark Souls, which I never made further than 30 minutes in. I'm much more comfortable with dying in this, I think.

In this regard I read a helpful description of Bloodborne the other day: think of it is a roguelike. Death is inevitable in every session, but with each death your chances are enhanced.

Will see how long I last.

Dying is totally part of the game mechanics. I took part in Return to Yharnam, and it was great.

It's one of those 'get better each time' games. I found Bloodborne felt slightly fairer than Souls games, because you are better equipped to respond offensively to any nasty surprises.

Which starter melee weapon did you choose? I went with the Saw Cleaver. The Axe is supposed to be good too. The cane/whip thing is a bit more niche.
Author:  Grim... [ Fri Mar 16, 2018 11:00 ]
Post subject:  Re: Bloodborne - From Software - PS4
I took the saw first time, cane second time, as
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
you can pick up a slightly better saw early into the game
.

Once I had got a bit (lot) harder, I switched to Ludwig's Holy Blade and never looked back.

Useful in that it was always one handed and good for smacking.

I seem to remember swapping between a +10 that that and a +9 big sword (https://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/ ... Holy+Blade)

I started this again at Bamba's and it's not as hard as I remember. Not sure if it's the character I created or not.

Between us we didn't manage to kill the Cleric though.

You don't have to - that's a optional boss, so you can come back to it later.

Yeah, we can't kill Father Gascoigne either. Bamba just threw his controller in disgust. :DD

I just murdered the cleric beast after your left. The secret was spamming molotovs it turned out. I'm still not convinced I'll get past Father Dickface so my Bloodborne experience might be about at an end.

That boss fight is brilliant. Stunningly difficult at first but when it all clicks and you’re dodging around and wacking him on his arse you feel like a badass.

If you’re thinking about giving up though - make sure you call in some co-op assistance.

Or make yourself available for some friendly cooperation and see how others are fairing.

Of course not, how could I? It's not like the fucking thing explains any aspect of itself, not even the most basic of controls. Which is another thing about it that's grinding my gears somewhat.

Don’t be an idiot, it’s part of the fun being helped and helping others. Bloodbourne has a whole mechanic which revolves around friendly cooperation and invasions. You’re just the kind of person who would dump it after seeing a fraction of what it has to offer and friendly coop would allievate your frustrations and probably help you get into it. You can always choose when you’d like some help (usually for a difficult boss) and when you’d rather they fuck off.

Dark Souls had the simplest of tutorials which was basically a set of messages on the floor in the first area telling you how to do a few things. One of them was a lunge attack. I spent about half an hour trying to do what it was telling me to do only to find out after looking online that the starting weapon you get as a dex character can't do that type of attack. Fuck needlessly impenetrable games.
