Has someone who eagerly waited for this game played it? I know critics haven't been any good. But critics aren't everything and I wanted to know from a player's perspective, how did it go.

 

I played it at #EGX 2014, and then there was an alpha test open to the public which was the same demo. If you're at home with the Souls series it performs mechanically similar, but with a larger focus on attack than defence.

Playing through Lords of the Fallen as the wait to the end of March is taking it's toll! It really is a poor mans Souls game, but it's enjoyable enough to warrant the price I picked it up for.

 

 

I'm not into the "Soul's type of games, but that was pretty nice...

 

 

Boss battles are the highlights of the Souls series. A lot of fun in co-op. Co-Op does make some battles trivial, but that's usually after the fanbase has gotten techniques down to a tee for each of the bosses. I still fondly remember a massive amount of deaths in the first week of Dark Souls co-op on the Capra Demon.

From various GAF:

1) The Japanese Bloodborne site was updated today with a lot of new online play details.

Translated details per a banned site:

  • Co-op is still the same as in the network alpha, hosts use a Lulling Bell to request help and the game automatically matches them to a helper who has used the Small Resonant Bell (there are no summon signs in Bloodborne)
  • Co-op ends when a boss is defeated or the host or guests die, or the host uses Parting Shot on a guest
  • Players can create a "Watchword" of 8 characters that will allow them to co-op with only people who have the same Watchword. This does not work for PVP.
  • You can invade other people by using an Ominous Ringing Bell, the goal of invasion is to defeat the host.
  • Hosts can use Parting Shot to evict an invader, and invasions will also end if the invader dies or the host enters a boss area.
  • Some areas will have a Bell Maiden already present, and she lures invaders to your world.
  • The Bell Maiden may also appear when you request/begin co-op.
  • In the Chalice Dungeon you may see "illusions" of other players in the same part of the dungeon (this is different from the network test alpha where you could see illusions anywhere, this point implies they will only exist in CD).
  • You can click someone's Messenger tombstone to see how they died anywhere in the game.
  • You can click someone's Messenger notes to tongue but hole
  • There are 2 types of Chalice Dungeon: normal and generated.
  • You can only generate a dungeon online, but you can play either type online or offline.
  • You can share generated dungeons online.
  • PS+ is required for pvp/co-op, asynchronous features (notes/tombstones/phantoms), and sharing your Chalice Dungeon configuration. You can download patches and other people's Chalice Dungeon configurations without PS+.
  • There will be a Day One patch (improve performance/online gameplay usability).

2) According to an anonymous 4chan user's photo of the Bloodborne box, the minimum HDD size is 41GB.

First souls title to allow you to specifically choose who you co-op with!

 

Hosts can use Parting Shot to evict an invader, and invasions will also end if the invader dies or the host enters a boss area.

What does this mean?! If you get invaded you can shoot the invader to make them instantly leave your game?

Big spoilers (I'm not watching, on media and social media blackout), but here is a glimpse of the Chalice Dungeon/a Boss

 

 

This is a post detailing how the chalice dungeons work, it was removed from reddit for spoilers but saved in time. Again massive spoilers, and I haven't read it.

OMG IT'S BLOODBORNE DAY!!!

 

I'm totally leaving work early, woooooo!

 

Can the entire game be played in Co-Op?

 

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

Yes, like every souls game before it you can play the whole thing co-op. It's even easier to do so in Bloodborne due to the passcode system they implemented.

    • “This figure rises to 70% in some police forces and NHS trusts because of decades old contracts which means they’re stuck using old servers that are vulnerable to outages and cyber breaches.” - Those contracts are absolutely not the reason they are still running those legacy systems. They could upgrade those legacy systems. They could have competed those contracts several times. They just didn’t choose to do so. However, without someone having the necessary IT skills in the office, they will just pay more for a contractor to do it. ”This deal will also see as many as 100,000 civil servants trained in AI and digital over the next five years through a new Google Cloud training program.” - What a waste of money. Training on AI. You know what would save a lot of time, more than 25 minutes, which isn’t even a bathroom break? Better technology, better software, individuals with better knowledge and skills.
    • I suggest running adwcleaner https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner
    • I think you're missing my point a bit? Copiliot+ PC's don't use cloud processing, they use hardware within the machine itself - the NPU's mentioned in the article - to run the AI workloads offline. My question is why Microsoft doesn't allow for this on a Desktop machine with a more-than-capable GPU.
    • I wonder if Proton Mail is seeing a boost in subscriptions also. More people becoming privacy-conscious with technology is certainly a good thing. The bit about Microsoft disabling the account of the ICC prosecutor is particularly amazing. The sheer level of evil on display for all the world to see, and the United States (as well as several European countries) enabling it, supporting it, and funding it at every turn. I think at this point I'm almost a single-issue voter: No AIPAC-funded candidates. Not simply because anyone still accepting AIPAC funding at this point is evil. But also, an AIPAC candidate is practically guaranteed to be an establishment/swamp candidate (and yes that certainly includes Trump).
