2017 Bloodborne/DS thread

[Fit1NYC]

Oh lawdy loving B.B. So much. Wish I did more with the npc people before killing the spider
Getting wrecked at Cainhurst now

Will probably buy ds3 next month
Also have to finish ds2 as I never actually killed the king yet

[butwhowasfeel]

GOAT games srs way better than chitcher 3

[Bondons]

decided to finally try to platinum trophy DS3, i think i need all gestures, spells, and rings. Hard to do? (i can beat the game with ease)

[IronProdigy]

wouldnt there be a bunch of spoilers in this thread, considering you haven't played ds3? Im currently playing ds3 and finally beat that knight with the fire sword after getting wrecked multiple times.

[SofaKingSlow]

I'm replying bloodborne. Never actually beat it, got about 2/3s of the way through and then started playing other games. By the time I came back I was rusty and had no idea where I was lol. Also, I was trying to use a bunch of different weapons and placed points into skills I didn't use. This time around I'm going with a quality build and it's much easier.

Spoiler!

I'm mad I messed up Eileen the Crow's quest, she actually died fighting Henryk lol. I don't even know how I finished her quest blind on my first playthrough, and she dies this time around with me knowing what I'm doing....

She was cool

No ds3 spoilers please

I started DS1 yesterday having never played a souls game before, within a couple hours I was already raging srs, finally beat the taurus demon and I'm trying to figure out what to do next, this game gives you literally no instruction or anything.

Dude! I envy you
Play blind
How long did it take you to get out of the prison? Lol
Remember to keep your shield up
Talk to the guy at fire link shrine
There are like three ways to go but only two are viable

[CanadianSpartan]

For someone that played maybe 2-3 hours combined of DS1 and DS2. Which of the souls/borne series game would you rec?

[Fit1NYC]

Def dark souls 1 if you can
Next blood born
Followed by the the other dark souls
Ds 1 is amazing
Might want to play it last though since it's the best

You might want to do 2 then 3 since they are slow combat, then blood born cuz it's fast, then ds 1 cuz its goat

[Crooze]

Played the chit out of DS1 and DS2. Haven't played DS3 or Bloodborne yet, any recommendations on which one I should get first?

[AD117]

Damn it.

Saw '2017' and 'Bloodborne' in the title and nearly shat myself.

Then I saw the rest of it and realized it's just a discussion for the older game and DS, not a sequel. You got my hopes up brah. Only game I ever platniumed.

[Meatie]

Just a heads up for the souls brahs, Nioh is coming out in a few weeks and is like "samuri-souls" I played the beta a crap ton and i think its something to be hyped about

I am playing blind, got out of the prison pretty quick never had any problems there, but then I spoke to the guy at the bonfire and attacked him then he merked me over and over and I got stuck in a cycle of death so had to start a new game. Then I went through this cemetary area behind him and kept getting wreckt by these skeleton guys, so I went the other direction and ran into the Tauros Demon, took like 15 different tries to beat that boss. What made me rage was you don't respawn right before him so every time I died I had to go through all those lame zombies again just to get to the boss again and I had to do it with enough estus flasks so I would actually have a chance to beat the boss, then I had to figure out actually HOW to beat the boss so it ended up taking like 15 attempts before I finally did it. I knew this game was difficult before going in but had no idea how unforgiving it is, it is fun but I wish there was a little more direction on what to do/where to go they literally put you in and expect you to figure everything out yourself.

I remember the guy at the bonfire talking about 2 bells I need to get one is up above and the other is below the undead burg or some chit, also I started off as a warrior class so I'm leveling up strength, dexterity, vitality etc, don't think I'm gonna fuk with magic much at least for a while I prefer to play melee. I have loads of items that I have no clue what they do like soul of a lost undead and humanity to become unhollow etc.

[StatutoryApe213]

Played both DkS3 and Bloodborne last year, with the former on PC and the latter when I bought a PS4 near August.

Bloodborne is easily one of my top 10 games, ever. It's got the best setting out of all the Souls games and the best mechanics too. Damn shame the PVP isn't as active anymore in the game.

Didn't play The Old Hunters dlc yet though.

[StatutoryApe213]

i ran through almost all the bosses in bloodborne in one go, had trouble with rom and was the only boss where i summoned a friend, rekt gehrman and the moon presence.

do u think i'll have a hard time with the bosses in the dlc??

i was the same as you (except instead of rom i had trouble with vicar amelia), but the DLC bosses rekt my anus so hard

then again i did take a long ass break from playing any souls game before i started the DLC, so that might have been a big factor. (but since you're not a souls noobie, i'm sure they won't be too hard for you)

regardless, the bosses are cool af and there's one in particular that i think is the best, most stylish boss fight out of the entire soulsbourne franchise srs


das jus me tho

[Bondons]

Nah those aren't hard at all. Just incredibly grindy.

I feel like i'm gonna miss a lot of spells on accident, and gotta do multiple play throughs for all the gestures and rings. At this point it doesn't take me long for a playthrough but I have to be careful not to miss anything.

Oh man I envy you
Try using the souls and humanity and see what happens
Find out how to level up your stats
Endurance is good for a low level so you can use your shield more
Go both up and down. One direction you will have no chance and get wrecked, the other you won't get wrecked as much and it's easier to go through and fight the next boss and level up more

If you die too much don't be afraid to run through and area to get a feel for hidden monsters and traps then walk through slowly
It's kinda cheese but if you lose all your souls you have no reason to not sprint around until you die. Then just pick the enemies off one by one when you know where they are

Also talk to character until you exhaust their dialogue options

Need 3 playthroughs to plat ds3

that is what you gotta watch out for. There is a lot of sensitivity in the game in this regard. The worst part was no doubt grinding for all the hunter weapons/tools. There are gravestones you go into and its basically a randomly generated dungeon you crawl through with enemies progressively getting tougher.

wat? no

[Fit1NYC]

There's spells in blood born?

Yeah, there's a ton of missable stuff in this game so it's best to follow a guide.

Really?

There are 3 endings, correct?

[FawkinJuicy]

Not reading the posts because of potential spoilers. I beat Bloodborne a couple of weeks ago and was about 80% of the way through NG+ and did a lot of the chalice dungeons and decided to move to Dark Souls 3. Loving Dark Souls 3 right now. Feels good to be back on dat dere 4k @ 60fps time w/ DS3... game is excellent. I'm probably about half-way through the game right now and loving it.

So I had a lot of rage moments last night while playing trying to beat the bell gargoyles and was even thinking about quitting, I was just trying to smash my way through everyone and kept dying and obviously that's not how you play the game and I was getting mad as fuk going full on rage mode. Felt like a pussy after quitting and the game was taunting in my mind so I tried it again today and I think I finally "get it" now, I bet a lot of players went through this when they first played it. Been doing more reading about it on Dark Souls wiki and it seems patience and devising a tactic for each enemy/boss is the key. there's so much chit I wasn't even aware of like just the ability to jump. I got just got the Drake Sword and this thing is fuarking beastly, I didn't even know there were blacksmiths you could use to upgrade your weapons/armor so now I need to find one, then I'm gonna try tackling the bell gargoyles again with the Drake Sword.
