 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. 

Hey Larry if you're still not past it here's a good way to do the werewolves and the first boss

 

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/

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)

Nice that everyone is enjoying or trying to enjoy Bloodborne except me.

 

Once again I decided to fire up the PS4 an give it a go.

 

Once again, I'm met with this

 

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.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
