rooks Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Some Fuckin' Rules To Die By: 1. Don't Post Spoilers. 2. Don't talk about Spoiler Club. 3. Spoiler Tags - IF YOU AREN'T SURE - USE SPOILER TAGS. For ANY in game content - use Spoiler tags. Everyone plays at a different pace. Don't ruin it for anyone. 4. The first playthrough is going to be blind, for a lot of us. ON PURPOSE. If you want to read a guide, or reddit, please feel free. But keep it to yourself or PMs until everyone gets through their first run. 5. If you choose to read what is inside Spoiler tags it's your own damn fault. r u casul? git gud.

rooks Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 It will be scary, but it's not a horror game haha. It's not gonna be like Evil Within/PT with jump scares. But, it will be dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played 2 chapters and it's pretty garbage. the controls are shit. didn't have much trouble with the controls myself. it's an okay game. I never finished it because there's one level (mechanics spoiler, not major or plot) where someone appears every 30 seconds and insta-kills you if you touch them and there's tons of enemies and tight corridors and no checkpoint til you beat the section and I hate shit like that. Will finish it someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I've just noticed that there really isn't any fine movement. like if I get close to disable a trap, it doesn't give the indicator. if I try to inch forward, the character moves too far and I blow up. so frustrating. gun accuracy is highly questionable. also bear traps are the cheapest thing... i'll play some more, but not a big fan from the start. but back to bloodborne, is there a level system like a normal RPG? chapter based or open world?

Don't know and I have not read into it. Demons was hub-based - Central world and chapter-based sub worlds Dark 1+2 were both "Open" though... I definitely wouldn't say it feels liek it until late game in DS1 and DS2 was made stupid because it was open from the start. They've described the main city Yharnam as the "central hub" but a lot of the info coming in about Bloodborne is tied to Japanese translation. It could just mean "home base" like Firelink Shrine in DS1 and Majula in DS2. So, we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 A major part of the glory of Dark Souls was the level design, which was missing in Dark Souls 2 because hidetaka Miyazaki was not involved in Ds2. Dark Souls works based on "Bonfires" which are like checkpoints/savepoints. You do thirty minutes to an hour of level progression and you see a sweet safe spot bonfire and replenish your health, spend some souls, and get your potions back. But, the real beauty came through DS1 level design. Where you would progress in what seemed like a linear way for an hour, only to come across a ladder, say. And you kick said ladder and climb down it and lo and behold! You are back at the bonfire you were at an hour ago. Oh cruel fate! But wait, the ladder is still there and now you can use it whenever you want. You have achieved a shortcut now for all future trips through this region. It was genius, and amazing.

rooks Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 As far as "level" progression. I am assuming it will be JUST like Dark Souls in this regard. You have a big old stats screen and you gain souls (now "blood") every time you kill enemies. When you get to a save point you can spend those souls (now blood) on points in your stats.

My Xbox is on its last leg though, so Lots of the time it won't even play games. I'll have to try it again tonight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Xbox is on its last leg though, so Lots of the time it won't even play games. I'll have to try it again tonight though. I think they only gave Dark Souls away for free (which is the good one). Demons I hear is great too but I never had a ps3 so I've never played it. Dark Souls 2 is far from trash, but, it's no Dark Souls. A lot of people chalk that up to the absence of Hidetaka Miyazaki, which is why people are really stoked on Bloodborne, because he's back.

rooks Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Shame, Demons' Souls is great, like a modern day Megaman but an RPG. It's on my list. It would just cost me upwards of $200 to play it :\ I'm hoping one day it will be on the PSNow. It would be the only game to convince me to use that stupid service.

rynflnnry Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 DS1 is my all time favorite game. i've sunk countless hours into it - speedrunning, lvl 1 runs, etc. BB was pretty much my sole factor in buying a ps4 over anything else. i am beyond excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 haha we've got 3/4 of the original Git Gud Crew in here now. I'm sure Shleby will stop by to grace us with his presence sooner or later. I am beyond stoked. Going to figure out how fucking preloading works. Already requested off on the 24 and 25. Gonna play from Midnight, to 2 Midnights from then nonstop until I have to go back to work. rynflnnry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
