Bloodborne thread

Forbidden Forest, in the previously empty windmill building shortcut right next to the first lantern, so you gotta open it up first.

Hey, has a password been discussed in this thread yet? Like if the hunters of SRK want to team up or something?

Also, I tried to make young Gene Wilder. He looks a bit like Gene Wilder with a touch of Bill Nye and doctor who. Making celebrities are haaaaard. I’ll load up the recipe when I’m feeling more ambitious.

I enjoy Lovecraft, so i get what the developers were going for, and they nailed it. By saying that I liked DS2, I did not mean to imply that I didn’t enjoy Blood born’s story. I actually agree with all of your points, and I enjoyed the story as a whole. I guess what I was trying to imply was that I felt that the characters were much stronger in DS2, and in BB, the characters seem to take a step back and let the world take center stage. That’s not my favorite type of story but again, I liked them both.

Having said that, I am getting more out of the story on my second play through.

Haha, I don’t think I need “that” much help with the story, but I’ll check it out later. Thanks.

I looked up a bunch of stuff on the wiki to make sense of the story after I beat the game, but the video made it so much more easier to digest.

In addition to that, it’s obvious when he’s basing it on info in the game since he sources just about everything, and just as obvious when he’s speculating or interpreting

Anyone who actually thought Tomb Raider looked better than Bloodborne is delusional. Not to mention the processor that rendered the open world of bloodborne with no load times fucking DEMOLISHES tomb raider and their loaded “rooms” format. How hard is it to design rocks and trees and uninspired urban architecture compared to the lush decor of BB.

Like give me a friggin break do you guys read over some of the stuff you post before you click post comment?

Anyways. PizzaCutter is OP. 4k off one swing on stunlocked bosses is LULZ. DLC is still raping people on twitch im getting a kick out of people going from complete excitement to on the verge of tears fighting Kos.

Spoiler

Kos was such an amazing fight. It took me a few hours to beat him but it was incredibly exciting. He really feels like he tests everything you know about how to play Bloodborne.

The Spoilers are real holy shit

the game has been out since monday.
you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Not really when spoiler tags are a thing. Modern SRK too lazy for spoiler tags tho.

So I managed to get my first character to the DLC portion and I must say I am doing much better using the Ludwig than using the Hunter’s Axe because the Two handed Ludwig actually stuns some of these hunters roaming around. I can do single swipes and let my stamina recover and basically kill them without having to dodge or go for a visceral.

I guess it doesn’t hurt that in general my stats are higher on a level 110 character versus a level 80 character.

The only question is if I should use of the new DLC weapons or continue on with my old equipment to beat the rest of the area and the first boss. In my other file, I started using the pizza cutter/whirlgig saw and it doesn’t seem too bad.

Got an error today. During the play station maintenance it says that it can’t find the DLC unlock code and I need to download it again. It appears at the offline/online screen. While I think I can fix it when PSN comes back online I was wondering if anyone had the same problem and how to fix it. I hope my game isn’t online only now that I downloaded the DLC.

Haha, I’m going to get that weapon to ten ASAP!

I’m currently on the boss with my Kirkhammer. I think my +!0 Kirkhammer has higher DPS than my +7 whirly saw, so I’m fighting it with that. I guess go with whatever you’re more comfortable with.

I love Ludwigs Blade. Best weapon in the game imo, at least before dlc. I haven’t gotten to try any of them yet, but the pizza cutter looks pretty sick.

Ludwig’s is great but I feel like it’s level of popularity is a little much. Saw Cleaver is easily as good if not better of a weapon, and then you have Threaded Cane and Beast Cutter for the ultimate in keep-away, etc. Imo that’s the best thing about a smaller weapon selection. They get to spend more time fleshing each one out, so they all end up pretty awesome.

Saw Cleaver doesnt knock down or stun as reliably. Its faster tho. I love both of them, my two faves in the game.

Saw Cleaver is probably the best weapon in the game in terms of overall balance for early game. It’s fast, has good hitboxes, bonus damage against beasts, and causes decent amount of stagger for the earlier enemies. It’s offset by the fact that it lacks reach, crowd control, and scales poorly with stats. Ludwig’s Holy Blade is probably the best [vanilla] overall weapon in terms of PvE due to its very useful moveset, both thrust/blunt damage, and pretty good scaling if you go for a quality build. That said, any weapon is viable; just gotta git gud.

Anyways, finished the DLC Wednesday night from start to finish. Took about 8-9 hours (not exactly sure since I took a dinner break). Finally had time to post about it now.

[details=Spoiler]The DLC is absolutely amazing. The Hunter’s Nightmare (the entire thing) is an amazingly done zone. The way it flows feels unnatural, but at the same time, it feels natural due to the nature of a nightmare. All of the new weapons are cool as fuck. I need to explore more of them. The new character I made for the DLC ended up using the Whirligig Saw (WHAT A NAME LOL). The fight with Ludwig did not disappoint at all. I absolutely LOVED how he was a mindless beast until phase two where he is essentially “reunited” with the Moonlight Blade and regains his consciousness. The way the music seamlessly transitions from the cutscene and into the second phase of the fight is so fucking cool and gave me goosebumps. FromSoft really outdid themselves with this boss. Living Failures was whatever but it felt more like a precursor to the real boss ala Celestial Emissary to Ebrietas. Lady Maria is probably my favorite boss in the DLC. The second and third phases of the fight are fucking awesome with blood and fire everywhere. Also, when’s rule 34 of Lady Maria? :wink: Orphan of Kos is a crazy ass boss too. Even though he was rather small in stature, the creature design was extremely well done. Although humanoid, his screeching and howling made you feel like you were fighting a rabid, angry beast. Laurence was cool but I felt like his fight was more of a fanservice fight since he was important to the game’s lore, not necessarily meant to be super challenging or anything.

The most challenging part of the DLC is probably the two giant murlocs fish men to get Rakyou. Man… FUCK THOSE THINGS. Will have to use Shaman Bone Blade next time I roll through there on a different character.

Overall I felt the DLC makes the game complete. New weapons. New armor. New Hunter Tools. New enemies. New bosses. New everything. I loved it, despite getting frustrated with the challenge at times. I also loved how Fishing Hamlet felt straight out of Lovecraftian lore like it was Innsmouth. My only gripe about the DLC would be that it would have been nice if you could have grabbed some of the weapons earlier in the game like in the vanilla areas, but that’s fine since the game throws a lot of Blood Stone Chunks and a Blood Rock at you so you can make a switch.[/details]

I use the saw cleaver as a back up weapon. Sometimes I load up my LHB with cursed gems that lower weapon durability so I like to have a decent weapon ready to go just in case. I don’t think its ever done down to that though.

I love Ludwigs blade naturally gravitated towards it and never looked bad now that I have moonlight sword I’m going between those two. It’s just too good I mix in the tonitrus as well. Best Ludwig today and made it to the next boss with the like Cosmo attacks and shit. Dlc is fucking amazing

I’ve been fighting Ludwig for an hour now and I’ve gotten him down to 30 percent so many times and then I just die. I’ve just deleted both of my files for my sanity. At this point, even if I win, there will be no sense of satisfaction.

I’m choosing ending 1…I will awaken in the real world and forget this nightmare ever happened.

Has anyone managed to unlock the potential in the bowblade yet? Thats the weapon I want to put some work into.

I started a brand new save with a strength/skill build to tank some shit.

What do you think we are discussing 3 days after the DLC is released?

Theres literally no way to read this thread and not be spoiled. The lore alone tells you what happened and what might happen.

Nigga, in the Dark Souls thread people had the basic common courtesy to use spoiler tags weeks after DSII and the DLC’s released. It’s such a simple premise it’s not even funny. I’m not going to avoid the entire thread just because you guys can’t use a simple forum function not even for ONE WEEK after new content releases.
