 Bought a PS4 and PSN+ year subscription for just this game. Can't wait to get my hands on it later today. Only thing that concerns me is the lack of variety for PVP, but I like that From tried something different with this one, it looks different enough to feel refreshing for Souls vet.

At first I found Bloodborne to be quite harder than Demons/Dark Souls, but my opinion made a 180

Have you slept, ate or showered the past week, AB? :p

 

Not today :p

 

I took Thurs and Fri off work as well.

 

Binge gaming is bad for your health :(

Thanks for this. (Y)

I have not been able to play at all since I last posted (okay truth be told I played the Fast and The Furious Forza Horizon game released on the One, mentally I think I needed a break from Bloodborne), but I already completed it so I am back to playing Bloodborne next time I do play, which depending on how much wine my wife keeps drinking may be a bit later tonight. :punk:

 Finally passed first boss, it was a pretty challenging first level mostly due to the werewolves. Some DS skills are actually counter-productive in this game. When you get hit in DS, you are better off retreating before stunlocks, here it's better to fight back to regain health. I also keep pressing triangle for dual wielding and it uses my blood vials, it's like muscle memory now. 

 

 The parries actually feel satisfying and are not as abuse-able as I thought they would be. I don't miss the backstabs from DS. The combat feels satisfying, which makes it feel better than DkS2. The lack of shield really forces a different approach. Overall feels very solid and satisfying.

You can backstab. You need to do a charged R2 attack to stun then immediately push R1.

 

Just noticed the Polygon Bloodborne review is up, 9/10

I cancelled my trade in.

Not this week but next my wife is going away on a business trip for 3 days. That means I have at least 2 nights of gaming to myself (1 night I have already been asked to dog sit for someone, so will have my hands filled there).

So yeah, Bloodborne time no doubt. (Y)

For Larry and anyone else new to Souls games

 

Just watched the whole thing. Thanks AB, really was helpful, especially the latter half. (Y)

 

I am honestly determined to master this game, and have decided it may take months to do so.

In fact I believe I am even contemplating preordering the strategy guide, but all I can find is one for the Collectors Edition. Is there supposed to be a normal one do you know AM?

The hardback version is the only one available for now.

This might help you as well http://www.vg247.com/2015/03/20/bloodborne-guide-spoiler-free-walkthrough/

Third boss killed me again. :(

 

I really hate that "thing".

 

What's the third boss for you? Depending on the path you take it can be one of two.

Blood-starved beast

 

Ah yeah, it's tough. You can get an NPC summon to help you, by the way :) Check for the developer note near the top of the path down and ring the bell on top of it. Boss is weak to fire.

 

This bitch will probably be your 4th (gif will make more sense soon :p)

Just missing two trophies for the platinum now, and currently in the penultimate chalice dungeon to unlock the final one to face the queen.

 

Pretty stuck on Amygdala on Layer 3 in the Defiled Chalice dungeon where you have half health :-/

Why isn't your PS4 automatically updating these games?

 

Plus, 3 hours to download a 2Gb patch? What's wrong with your internet?

It never took that long... I guess that was an "Estimated" time frame.

 

But every time I play the game, I'm greeted with this message.  It's been happening since I got the 2.50 update.  Prior to the update, I was able to create a character, fight and fight that "Wolf Demon" thingy, and die...

 

Havent played the game since then...  

 

Every time I try, that's what I get...

 

All my other games auto update and work fine, that's the weird part... And I've also downloaded the game for a 2nd time (it deleted itself the first time)

Man that sucks, sorry to hear it.

Since the second deletion was not your doing (you said it deleted itself), I would go ahead and manually delete it yourself and see if the same thing still happens.

I know that sucks as well, but perhaps you initiating it, and it not doing all of this on its own, will force it to be a proper install so to speak.

If that does not work I would reach out to Sony for sure.
