Bloodborne thread

MARIA IS NOT FOR BULLY

The doll says she loves you (PC). Now give me more for my folder damnit.

Sure she does

PC release when??

So?

I wish the Stake Driver had a range longer than 5cm.

Since when did this "we wuz voice actor = black character" started?
Dont we have women always dubbing male children in video games?

Read the rest of the post

I don't think it's a trend, user.

so I actually enjoyed DS3 would bloodborne be a hard game to get into after souls?

I thought she was that quadroon wildling bitch from Game of Thrones tbh. This is even more retarded, and hideous.
Didn't care for Eileen anyway, and she was never the first Hunter or the first hunter of hunters, she's just a dumb nigger in the world of bloodborne.
The only master races were the Pthumerians and the Cainhurst Vilebloods.

Was dark souls hard to get into after demon's souls?

I think the only relevant negro voice actor is the Samurai Jack guy, Phil LaMarr, since his range is retardedly big.

And another thing.
It's like you enjoy taking it in the ass, you know?

...

May as well have called her Eileen the nigger. But this is non cannon anyways so who cares? Also don't we already have a bloodborne or souls thread up?

Can't you just clip through her mask and see her actual face like you can in every other Bloodsouls games?

The shitgun barely hurts anything.
Pistol is what you want if you're in a jam or just want to take down a foe in a stylish manner.

Think her mask is too close to her face to see, and no one has edited the game to remove everyone's mask/helmet I can see.

But guns are for Parrying no? It's like everything is the Target shield, you shouldn't care about how much damage it can block.

The pistol can deal enough damage to make it viable as a sidearm and shooting doesn't use up stamina. It can be an extension of your combos or useful when an enemy gets too close. If you're not leveling your pistol, what are you even doing? the firing animation interrupts most npc and player attacks at close range.

Get purged you incestuous freak, all Vilebloods must die.

Don't see why a hoonter would be black. I know you can make your character a nigger but I don't remember any canonically non-white NPCs in any of the games.

If I wanted a firearm for damage I definitely wouldn't pick the default Hunter Pistol. You can get the Repeating Pistol almost right away and it's twice as good.

Why choose the default pistol over just about all other guns in the game maybe barring the piercing rifle.
That sweet ass firing animation.
The repeating pistol and evelyn are just a smidge too slow for the kind of clutch interruptions you can pull off using the pistol and the damage increase isn't really that great of a payoff, especially when one of the guns uses 2 quicksilver bullets per shot.

Why does a gun that presumably uses rimfire or at the least centerfire shells need a flintlock firing mechanism?

I don't know too much about 19th century firearms and I'm guessing From doesn't either. I would have assumed they at least researched this stuff first but who knows.

Have to disagree, especially at +8 or higher. Maybe not with Bone Marrow Ash in the mix.

Logarius' wheel is good NG+ right? Was thinking of doing an Executioner run.

Its all a dream, bro.

Isn't Eileen one of the characters (apart from the Doll) that expresses concern for the PC? I always got the impression from her dialogue that she worried to some extent about the PC.

Also
confirmed for shit taste.

This game is fucking great, and I'll fight anyone who disagrees

I disagree, it's good but it's one of a list of wasted opportunities and poorly implemented ideas. Transforming weapons were a gimmick that ended up costing weapon diversity. Armour was almost pointless outside of aesthetics. Before Hunters Nightmare, which was two dlc cut together, poorly connected with the excuse of "it's a dream, locations don't need to connect", and was defended as amazing by neofag tier drones, there were 15 weapons, one required finishing the game and another required delving in the chalice dungeons which were shit in their own right, proc gen is the hallmark of a lazy developer, even more so than half finishing dlc and stapling them together so people don't rightfully call you out on laziness. There were 8 firearms, the cannon being a gimmick weapon designed for fun over practicality.

Controls were some of the worst in the entire soulsborne roster especially with the fuck massive buffering that exists in the game, whoever bound switch attack to a press rather than a short hold should be fired. Resources were a fucking terribly implemented system, grass worked in DeS because it was easier, more consistent dropped, you were easily able to be aware of how much you had at any given time, and if you were having too much difficulty with a section, you could go somewhere else with different focuses and resources available that might help you change or optimize your build. Very little exists in BB's optional areas, kill a boss, get a chalice. The only thing BB ever excels at is style over substance.

Maybe the gunpowder ignites and the expansion of the gasses activates the mechanism which cocks the 2nd hammer to then strike the firing pin to then fire the bullet?? :^)

Dude don't you know, the teleports mean the levels are super connected. :^)

There is more weapon diversity in BB than there is in a Souls game. BB doesn't have the issue of a fuck ton of clone weapons (almost none). Not only that but I've played through with nearly every weapon with them all giving me a unique playthrough of the game.

I can understand the disappointment that there's less to search and find in the world but the claim there is a lack of diversity in the weapons is just bullshit.

...

Item descriptions say that the vilebloods borrowed the design from a foreign weapon, you fucking goon.

Not interested in buying a BloodBorneBox, a copy of the game, DLC, and an

just to play this, the only real way to play the game is Broccoli, anyway.

For your first run the most effective way to play is pick a weapon and if it isn't the threaded cane, that's the weapon you finish the game with. The upgrade system can be argued about in my mind as a matter of taste.

As for diversity, DeS has 18 weapon classes, and a bunch of uniques and boss soul weapons. In these weapon classes there are weapons that fit different playstyles and builds, some even having different move sets or values. In DaS there are almost 20 weapon classes with the same sort of unique and boss souls weapons as DeS and weapons inside that fill different builds. BB's builds are a lot more set in stone, If you go down strength, you start with axe, get kirkhammer and end on wheel, same if you branch out too arcane and with no reason to go bloodtinge in vanilla except the cannon meme. If you go down skill you get threaded cane, and either stick on that or go arcane and get BoM or bloodtinge and get chikage. If you go quality you get saw cleaver and just upgrade your weapon and bloodtinge and use repeating pistol till you get evelyn, using another weapon is pointless. Arcane builds are basically non existant.

A lot of this can be chalked up to preference, but this is a fucking terrible suggestion for a huge number of reasons.

Really? It's worse then having to wait for a full second before switching if you want to back off a bit? The buffering in this game is fucking ridiculous, and it flows like the Ganges.

Yeah, it is. For one thing, it would exacerbate input delay if there were unique animations for an R1 press and an R1 hold. It couldn't start the animation for an R1 attack as soon as the input is received because it would have to make sure you've only pressed R1 and aren't holding it. At best it would have to start the R1 attack animation and then do the transformation afterward, these problems already exist with the R2 attacks and charged R2 attacks. There's also no possibility that you'll accidentally press L1 when you mean to press R1 as the scheme currently exists, but there is a possibility you'll unintentionally hold R1 long enough to do the wrong attack. And speaking of the input buffer, have you ever tried to buffer a charged R2 attack after a few R1s? It doesn't remember the input half the time. No need to attach the same problem to trick attacks.

I'm still not totally clear on what your issue with it is anyway, the idea of having a trick attack is so that you don't have to back off to switch from one weapon form to the next and can keep attacking, If you want to back off a bit and switch your weapon's form it really doesn't make a difference whether the action's bound to L1 or a held R1. Sounds more like you have a problem with the idea of trick attacks than the control scheme.

It's really not that different to the previous games, assuming you're really talking about the buffer and not just general input delay.

Hang on, did you mean an R1 hold or an L1 hold? It really doesn't change the problem but it does make it a little worse, you'd run the risk of transforming your weapon right in an enemy's face instead of doing a transformation attack. No real reason to want to start a combo with a transformation attack.

The input delay is terrible as well but I forgot about it till you reminded me. I actually need to replay it but when I did I had a list of grievances that I've been trying to remember. I still finished it though unlike DaS2, and I'm hopeful for the sequel. The dick riding for this and DeS are fucking excessive though and make me hate liking them.

This literally means nothing.

how are you supposed to know that the first time though

ok

sage

Just because there are more weapons doesn't mean more diversity. For example the longsword and the mace in DeS share the exact same R1 moveset and considering the mace does blunt damage it makes the mace superior to the longsword. The movesets for each weapon in BB are almost complately different from one another and they have more than two animations when hitting R1. The weapons in BB are deep and unique, none are held back or outclassed by another. Hell even the one handed fist animations piss all over a lot of the movesets from the Souls series.

Also you talk of Arcane builds basically being non existent yet I have one myself. Wasn't easy doing Koz with low level strength and skill but I got my Koz Parasite with 70 in arcane.

I loved Dark Souls to death but man fuck this game. I want to hate it but I just can't.

Ayo, hol' up
*howls*
so you be sayin'
*praises Kosm*
Ayoooooo,
*gets eyes on the inside*
So you be sayin'
*rattles cage*
That Huntas be Huntas, even in a dream?

The kos parasite that didn't exist in vanilla? Arcane in vanilla was the Rosmarinus and BoM until Burial Blade in new game plus. Also move-sets have some sharing, namely the Kirkhammer and the Ludwig's, and Saw Spear and Cleavers base forms. How are the weapons deep? You use whatever weapon fits the stats you want, with the dlc including some weapons. If say you have no skill, it's all in strength, you use Kirkhammer, if you have skill as well, Ludwig's is almost the same exact weapon, with better reach, cleave on it's transformation, thrust over blunt, in a game where armour is near non-existent and silver damage on both forms. If you go a saw weapon it's a purely scaling driven choice, spear if you have extra points in skill, cleaver if you have them in strength.

SHIIEEEETTTT, MAJESTIC!

It's not even that hard, did you try summoning Alfred?

>the Crow

It all makes sense now.

...

Well, don't let it bother you? There is no universe where BB fans or DeS fans could be more obnoxious than DaS fans, I still like that game.

Come on, user

I played only DS2 with a naked characater and was done with this franchise, these games arent hard or special at all, just your typical japanese grinding game

Just fucking skip it.
If you killed cleric beast go grab 10k (you can go farm blood vials in Yahrnam and get that), and buy the cloth looking key from the messengers and open gate at the church.
The opened area is scaled to you coming in at +3 and finishing at least one +6.
The only thing you kill bloodstarved for is a chalice and to open a different door to a separate section of the church, you can come back later and nuke his ass.

Catarina is supposed to be the land of blacks going by character creation fluff. That means Siegmeyer is actually black.

His face does confirm this, but for some reason Sieglinde is white.

Could have just been random character creation, don't really need to edit a character that has a helmet that obscures his/her face.

From what I've heard From actually did design each NPCs face individually. It would fit with the nip attention for detail/autism.

You have to learn when to shoot for stuns, when they're pausing enough to attack their back with a charged R2, when to rally or run away, and how to dodge with quickstep. It's somewhat different than Dark Souls in how the mechanics work, but once you figure it out, you'll feel the same way when you look back to how wrekt you got in those games starting out.

I couldn't get it down and died more times to the first four bosses of BB than probably every boss in the first Dark Souls combined. Then I finally learned by practicing on normal enemies the shit I mentioned above and the game became a joke. It didn't help that almost every boss fight that came after the fourth one (it's after the beast) felt like some kind of joke compared to the others. It was getting to the point where I was beating several bosses in one try. Just practice the mechanics I mentioned on stuff like the quasimodo guys near central Yharnam's lantern, then go back to the beast. It has a basic attack that can be stunned just like the hunchbacks you can use with R1 to rip and tear. That's all there is to it.

I'll never understand how anyone can be whiny enough to give a shit about fictional characters, on either side.

Pretty pale for a black guy.

The current VA for Samurai Jack is black. Does that make Jack Blackanese?

...

...

...

What's the deal with Micolash anyway? I fought him and I have to say it didn't really make sense to me on what he is or why he's just fucking around in that library.

No one can stop them now.

He's the host of the Nightmare of Mensis and the headmaster of the School of Mensis, leading the Mensis ritual. Essentially he's directly responsible for everything happening on the night you're playing the game.

He's easily the worst boss in the worst level in the game for me personally, but a lot of people here find him funny for some reason

You plow through monstrosities and deities looking for an answer to what the fuck is going on and when you finally find someone who can tell you everything you're greeted by this chuckling japanese-porn-artist-spamming motherfucker who just wants to hop around mirrors.

I LOVE HIM

whats that smell?

The sweet blood, ooh, it sings to me.

the vilebloods are favored by the gods, they even have kin coldblood and demi-god children as evidenced by the whore.

the church is using beast blood that's why the blood saint's blood is black like the beast blood pellet.

Can I… make everyone happy or at least not dead?

Someone should draw the version where the hunter offs him and he does his death cry.

This is not that kind of story, user.

Get a load of this faggot

Only 4 people, 3 of them go mad and one gives birth to an alien baby god.
But if you take too much blood from the whore the church lady will hug her.

Forgetting somebody?

I forgot no-one.

I just want to save the monstruous baby from the whore, the little girl eaten by the pig and the monstruous baby that starts the whole mess.

I don't mind killing the whore bitch who turns people into aberrations.

Baby dies if whore dies and vice-versa, if you want to save the little girl don't help her, nor her sister that goes psycho.
Mess baby needs to go or you will never be free. Do you have the dlc?

Post favorite track anons.

Does this count?

>Baby dies if whore dies and vice-versa

I want to save both.

I have the old hunters edition yet I didn't play it yet because I purchased my PS4 pretty soon and I'm already playing The Witcher 3. I just saw too many Let's Play before I even thought about buying the console.

you can get your 3 third cordsdid you hear about the umbilical cord being a cure for dementia? and not kill the whore or her kid.

you'll need the ones from the old workshop, imposter yosefka, and mergo.

Saging on principle alone, this shit is bonkers
I hope the thread dies and we can have a better thread.

I have some story/lore problems with the guy but yeah, it was a nice surprise. Wish they had come up with a new NPC storyline instead of revisiting the Yurt/Lautrec trick, personally.

You're not the sharpest hunter tool in the workshop
