Bloodborne (aka Project Beast/Demon's Souls 2)

[tommers]

Never played them before. Really enjoyed Bloodborne. Drove me crazy at first but I got into a groove and managed to do 3 bosses in one night. I learnt quickly that button mashing doesn't work, it's all about timing. I did farm for a little while though to level up and boost my advantage.

I have DS2 on my hard drive but would rather play it on a console. I can wait for a price drop for that though as I'm now getting into the Witcher 3.

My favourite of the ones I've played was Dark Souls (I never played Demon's). I found everything else a bit dull afterwards to be honest. Other games don't really have the same effect.

Fuck this game, I'll see what I can get for it down cex at the weekend.

Been playing some more the last couple of nights. I had to look up where the thing is for the Caryll runes, so I did that bit and slogging through forbidden woods now.

I should probably read up some more about it though. I have no idea what a visceral attack is and it sounds important.

It's definitely growing on me. It was properly scary tonight, walking into a barn full of dead horses while some mad bitches with pitchforks were trying to lynch me. It has the same "what the fuck is that" thing going on as the souls games.

How did you get past the cleric beast?

Scratch my previous reply, I was getting confused with another boss.

That's the one on the bridge isn't it?

I beat him first time I think. It's standard Souls boss - get behind him, hit him in the arse repeatedly.

You can always summon other players if you need to. I have for Gascoigne and Amelia.

 

[fen_boy]

I think you can summon Gascoigne for cleric beast.

 

[tommers]

I think you can summon Gascoigne for cleric beast.

Really? I've never summoned an NPC. How do you do that?

 

[fen_boy]

From central yarnham bonfire take the shortcut left toward the dark house. First enemy you come to has his back to you. On the same ledge he's standing on is a note on the floor. Ring the beckoning bell there and Gascoigne appears on that ledge.
There's also an NPC summon for blood starved beast.

 

[tommers]

Ah. I wondered what those notes were. There's one in Hypogaean Gaol as well. Cool.

 

[fen_boy]

It's Alfred for blood starved beast.

 

[tommers]

It's Alfred for blood starved beast.

Is that the dude behind the window in yarnam?

 

[fen_boy]

No he's standing at an altar in the church above old yarnham, I think.

 

[fen_boy]

He's near where you pull the lever to open the crypt.

 

[tommers]

No he's standing at an altar in the church above old yarnham, I think.

Ah right. The cleric guy who goes on about the old blood? I thought he looked like a Solaire type but couldn't figure out how it worked.

Maybe I should rethink the "not reading anything about the game" rule. Missing stuff like this is quite important.

 

[fen_boy]

His summon point is tucked away in a corner in the open area before blood starved beast

Rom the vacuous spider is a shitehawk.

I just needed to say that

Just started this now the goty edition can be bought again for a reasonable price. Nice vibe, but still just pissing around and getting used to it. Pretty much wasted my 10 free molotovs and they're annoyingly expensive to buy.

Oh shiiiiiiit

Looks like bloodbourne on PC may be real

I was looking at the hacked PS4 pro version that someone has got to run at 60fps.

So fluid.
