 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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.

      Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. About time.

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update
