Can the entire game be played in Co-Op?

 

I've been trying to find information in regards to this...

 

Pretty much. This time around you can play with specific people if you want. It's not as straightforward as inviting someone off a list, instead if you both set the same passphrase then whenever one of you summons only summons with a matching passphrase will be invited.

 

For example, if everyone on Neowin set it as Neowin you'd summon someone from the pool of Neowin players (whether that is 5, 10, 15 or 100 people). So still a bit random still, but off of a specific list of people. If you had a password as 174i93h, then clearly that's so unique only your exact friend or co-op partner would be summoned.

Amazing game so far (as expected), bought a PS4 for this even though it has no other games I want and I'm not disappointed. Only downsides are the stupidly long loading times and it can't even keep a stable 30fps in some areas, such a shame it will never be released on PC.

I will only buy this game, if someone else plays with me.  :D

 

I also, just realized I have $44 in my Playstation Wallet... So I'm not killing myself to get it...

Some hope - http://www.justpushstart.com/2015/03/bloodborne-long-load-times-will-be-addressed-in-the-next-patch/ Hybrid and SSD drives do make a difference.

 

Just glad we do not have any Blighttown V2. From create some of the best art in gaming, but they just aren't technically among the elite as of yet.

Not good enough really. A game needs to be playable for the masses and suggesting that we should buy the game AND a new HDD to play it on is beyond madness.

 

A patch needs to fix this and fast. It drops to levels that make the game unplayable in areas.

I haven't read that, or is that your experience? I've only played about an hour.

Think I read that in one of the reviews, it drops into the 20's which isn't acceptable,

 

Lowest above is 24. Cinematic  :shiftyninja: /s

 

Does say the drops are fairly infrequent. We gotta put up with From Jank to enjoy their games. It's the best technical effort so far, but I hope there are some patches to help. By the way if anyone is downloading you can start playing after 5GB is done, but you can't play online until the whole amount is done (23GB). It forces you into offline mode if you play early.

"Unplayable" means low teens to single-digits. A frame rate so low that you literally cannot navigate the game world or react to it. I have read a lot of reviews and impressions and not one has mentioned that the frame rate gets that low. Mid to low 20s, sure, but that is definitely still "playable".

 

In general, everyone has said that it never gets as bad as Blighttown on the PS3. I remember how bad that was, and even though it was a stuttering mess, I was still able to finish the area. So if Bloodborne never reaches that level, I'm ok with it. (I'd LIKE it to be a smooth 30, but it is what it is)

Never say never. We've seen games go from console to PC, although not always praised technically when they got there.

 

From Software isn't a subsidiary of Sony like Naughty Dog is so it is plausible that we could see the game go to PC. It just wouldn't get there next month.

You have that slightly wrong. From are independent, ND are owned by Sony. Sony own the Demons Souls IP and now Bloodborne. This is why these titles are exclusive. From own Dark Souls, or its joint with Namco, so multiplatform.

Just installed the game and downloaded the 2.9 (or was it 2.8) GB update file on both of my PS4's, so I am ready to play this somehow tonight. I watched that beginners video at lunch time. I somewhat get the impression this game is being hyped as so difficult to play but is actually just a game that takes some time and patience instead, but perhaps I am being overly optimistic.  :laugh: We shall see.

A lot of it is definitely that. Patience and intelligent gameplay master a Souls game. They are difficult, no doubts. Patience can't save you from the bosses! I see them kind of like an action "puzzle" RPG.

 

Put your pants back on, AB.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
