Fuck i'm hyped.
More so because i've barely looked into it or delved into the threads on /v/.
Managed to get a paid weekend off work (Holiday) just so i can sit and kick arse.
Question, though.
I'm still to preorder, and does anyone know the best website for a UK customer to get it?
Wanting the strategy guide too, if possible.

this and Hotline Miami 2 will keep me busy this march also

thank you based god
>people on /v/ think Bloodborne will bomb
>being this deluded
It will at least get 85 percent on Metacritic. It will sell well, considering that it will be the only good PS4 exclusive out there in a long time.
Think about it this way. Even Dark Souls 2 got fucking 91 percent on Metacritic. And THAT game, as we all know, divided fans like hell. You think Bloodborne will score any less than that?
That being said, it WILL generate a lot of heated debates about its standing compared to the rest of the Souls series. People WILL debate this game months and months after release, they way people STILL debate the original trilogy to this day and have wildly different opinions on the franchise.
Not even a PS4 owner and I understand this.
I never played a Souls game but this interests me
I should probably rent it first. I don't have the time to sink hours into bullshit hard games anymore
>>285929421
To be fair the strategy guide has a lot going for it.
Exclusive hunter theme, artwork of the game, miyazaki interview, hardback, future press is making it so you know it had good quality info.
>>285929421
Just so i can get ahead for the first week in PvP.
>preordering
Are you scared Sony will not mass produce enough copies? What will you do if its a flop? You guys are fucking idiots.
>>285929421
I'm getting it too, if only for the artwork and interview. I'm a sucker for physical stuff.
If the game ends being genuinely good I may end selling my gaming PC so I can buy a PS4.
I already have a laptop so I have internet access, college work and emulation covered.
>>285929597
>playing it before everyone is online so you don't get invaded nor can you find anyone to invade
might as well burn your ps4 and break the disck while you're at it since you hate fun
>>285928764
I'm thinking about buying a PS4 just for this game...
>>285929763
>bullshit hard games
Don't let the series's reputation (or its obnoxious, self-gratifying fanbase) fool you. The Souls games aren't hard. They're unforgiving. But they're not hard. Series like Devil May Cry, Ys and Ninja Gaiden are harder than Souls.
>>285928764
>20fps sickdark game
Not hyped anymore. It looks like the same rehashed shit we've been playing 4 times.
>>285929585
>tfw I always feel like a piece of shit invading in sub-optimal builds and gear setups
Fuuuck I will still spend hours invading when I am first allowed to. Granted it's not like DaS2 where you have to like beat the game and do a ton of shit before you can invade infinitely.
I'm buying a PS4 for this and Type 0
So you fucks get a week early or what where do you live?you're just an employee at EB games right?
>>285929301
>More so because i've barely looked into it or delved into the threads on /v/.
This is the wisest thing you can do especially in a souls game,i speak from experience when i say that looking and reading every information about a game before actually playing only ends in disappointment
>>285929421
Your average games don't have such ingrained multiplayer. The fact that you can play with other people makes the strategy guide pretty fucking sweet.
You can find all the items and secrets before everybody else in the first week.
>>285930540
Think of it Anon, pre-meta PVP, frontier invasions. Be a part of history.
We must learn to crawl before we can walk.
>>285928764

Meh, back to Dark Souls.
>>285930075
already did with my tax return, no regrets
also just a heads up to other anons on the fence, amazon is giving away 3 free games(infamous,killzone and Last of Us,) with every purchase of a system: http://amzn.com/B00BGA9WK2
I only got a promo of free one game(LoU still salty about it but w/e) good deal regardless

Call me back when the free games are actually good.
>>285931426
I got BOI: Rebirth for "free" a few months ago
>>285931307
Whatever, faggot. You can't ignore how much having the strategy guide gives an advantage to the players who have it. This isn't just to find the epic noob weapons to beat the bosses easily, this is to have a one-up on everybody in actual player-versus-player fights or in co-op.
>>285929452
People won't be able to see your fedora
>>285929452
Getting a PS4 for Bloodborne and Shadowfall.
I've played a bit of Shadowfall's single player and it seemed pretty good, particularly in how it's enabling stealth in the series again.Wish I knew more about the multiplayer.
>>285929220
>those constant transforming weapons combo
Ugh. That player was trying too hard to be flashy. It ends up looking cheesy.
In the actual game, I don't see any point in constantly switching like that when you can deal just as much damage without transformations.
>>285931612
>Wish I knew more about the multiplayer.
It's dead bro, still worth a playthrough for all the cool sci-fi tech, but make sure you get it for really cheap
>>285931508
you're completely trivializing one of the best parts of souls games that is the sense of wonder in never knowing what you'll gonna find/face next.
This goes for bosses,new areas,items/weapons,sets,NPC's and monsters,you remove all sense of exploration if you already know where to find everything.
The multiplayer in Souls game is pretty cool but the meat of the game is the single player and you're ruining it just to have a little advantage in the beginning
I don't care about the lore or any of that jazz. I just hope this game FINALLY delivers on a polished PvP experience with smooth online play and a well-balanced gaming mechanic.
I'm sure we'll all be wowed by the PvE moments and shit. But I'm equally certain that uploaders will share constantly OP builds and provide lag tactics that ruin the experience for the rest of us.
So what do we know of co-op in Bloodborne?
Big fan of the jolly coop.
>>285932387
Well I'm not getting it.
Doesn't matter either way, the fact remains the strategy guide is incredibly useful for those who want an early advantage.
>>285932468
well now you can have passwords for your friends to join
also the back of the box says 5 people can play at once. its weird that its not an even number
>>285932252
Well crap. Well the single player looked fun so I'll get it for that.
If there a way to do multiplayer with bots?
>>285928764
How can that be true when the time is actuallyNEVER EVER PCUCKS
>>285929723
my god the feels, the only game worth autising about
>>285930540
Yeah that's not going to be a concern. This isn't a game that discourages invading. It's made by people that know what the fuck they're doing. The fact that we've got a permanent invasion item again indicates that pretty clearly.
>>285932603
well 1 host 2 coop and 2 invaders makes 5 in my book
>>285932578
what you're not getting?
Where's the fun in exploring something if you already know what you're gonna find?
>>285932387
>never knowing what you'll gonna find/face next.
Which is like half the difficulty of these games. It's part of the reason why your second, third, fourth, etc. playthroughs will always be infinitely easier than your first playthrough.
The other half is making sure that you can pass Action-RPG 101. Stuff like: "Oh, this spider lady is obviously curling up and winding up for a powerful attack! Gee, what should I do? Should I charge in, guns blazing? Or should I roll the fuck away to prevent getting hit for 70 percent of my health?"
What I want to know if there is a shitty mechanic like soul memory or if I can stay naked at level 1 and enjoy pvp as long as I want
>>285932608
Yeah you can play with bots. It's a pity, Killzone 2 was awesome online
>>285929452
When?
>>285931508
if its like any other souls, they'll still whoop you with there shitty gear if your a min/max fag
Okay all you Sonyfaggots, I'm going to say right now that Bloodbourne is going to be horrible. I know it is going to be horrible because, as a spirtual successor to Dark Souls 2, It won't hold up
Let me elaborate, Bloodbourne will never reach the highs of Dark Souls 2. Kinda like how Kirby and the Ranbow Curse will never hold up to the original.
Bloodbourne looks like a worse god of war, except with less QTE and more shit dungeon crawling. Besides, once this fails the PS4 will redeem itself with the next Monster Hunter game. You have been warned, fanboys.

>>285932468
No signs as far as we can tell.
Host uses a bell make himself a host.
Other people ring their bells to make themselves a guest.
Whether you're helping or not depends on which bell you used.
It seems you can have two helping hunters and two enemy hunters, making for potential 3v2 situations.
An enemy called the bellmaiden spawns when a host initiates multiplayer.
The bellmaiden is what actually summons invaders to your world, which seems to imply that if you kill her before an invader shows up then you'll be safe.
You can set Watchwords if you want a private PVE experience, making it easier to co-op with friends.
Watchwords will not keep out invaders who don't know the Watchword.
>>285933143
>We also learn that there will be a day one patch, which will improve performance and usability and optimize online gameplay.
Kek. The game isn't even out and already the devs need to patch it.
>>285933143
>Invade people that either want pvp or are co-oping in all areas, invade people no matter what in predetermined areas
Oh hey, look. It's a solution to casuals bitching about getting invaded that doesn't make things worse for anyone!
>>285932387
Agreed, this man gets it
>>285929723
What the fuck is that thing at 2:05?
>>285933495
Yeah what he says is true.
But it doesn't make what I said any less valid, strategyguidefags will have a one-up for a little while. It doesn't matter to me either way, I will have fun finding my own secrets, and then I get to get buttflustered by an invader using some crazy spear machine gun and think "wow that shit is in the game".
Can't fucking wait. This is what souls is about.
kind of excited for this game.
Haven't played any of the souls games so this will be my first foray into this sort of game.
Only thing thats kind of offputting for me is the overly grimdark aesthetic that I'm not really a fan of.
I can't wait

>>285934129
Why the hell did someone feel the need to put a multi-plat game in the 3DS section of all fucking things?
Whenever I think of Bloodborne, I think of delicious pie for some reason. It might be the 3.14 FPS I'll get thanks to poor optimization. a pity.

>You want to play the game in release? With the convenience of not having to leave your house? You fucking idiot
>>285934129
>>285933362
Im not keen on the idea that invaders bypass watchwords jusy because there intended for a private multiplayer session.
>>285934129
>putting Smash twice
But why?
>>285934651
They're for a private co-op experience. Being able to co-op without fearing an invasion would be imbalanced.
>>285934651
It'll make DSP's ragequits that much more satisfying, at least.
>>285934449
+Upvote
So did anyone ever figure out what this menu was about?
>>285935130
I supouse that is true and thw advantage would still be in your own side with 2v1.

>>285929585

>>285935450
It's 2v2 now.
This will be the biggest disappointment of the 2010's. It can't live up to the unrealistic hype. It's just a generic werewolf game like The Order.
>>285935450
Correct, though it could end up a 3v2.
Has anyone tranlslated the screen from yesterday?
>>285935665
sure whatever you said bro
>>285935450
>>285935515

Que?
>>285935405

>>285935405
it says something about creating a dungeon at the bottom
so probably about the chalice dungeons
>>285935515
>>285935675
This apply to single player too? Could make for some nicely tense situations.
>>285935946
It would be neat to have two NPCs invade you at the same time instead of just the one.
>>285929597
Didn't From fill Dark Souls with super-powerful Black Knight phantoms when people started getting the game early?
Is there any info if we need Playstation Plus for multiplayer?
I just noticed I could play LBP3 online without and there seem to be quite a few games without mandatory PSplus.
>>285936318
Yes, article posted earlier in the thread said so. Kinda sucks.

Just as likely as a PC port.
>>285936318
>Is there any info if we need Playstation Plus for multiplayer?
Yes, you do need PS+.
So $400 for the PS4.
Add $60 for BB.
And $10 per month for PS+.
You have a game that needs at least $500 for a 5-month lifespan.
>>285935665
Yeah, totally
>>285936823
mfw sony won
>>285936735
It'll be remembered forever as the biggest flop on PS4
>>285932884
Learning mechanics and discovering things by yourself is a incredibly underrated aspect of vidya and many people love it without even realizing,also i don't think that souls games are that hard and i also don't think that they are good because they are difficult
>>285932884
>your second, third, fourth, etc. playthroughs will always be infinitely easier than your first playthrough.

One way or another it will never be forgotten.
If it's good then sonyggers will shitpost.
If it's bad then PCfags will shitpost.
If it stays exclusive then sonyggers will shitpost.
If it comes to PC then Pcfags will shitpost.
Bloodborne was born in shitposting and it will never be free from its cursed fate.
>Cleric Beast is boring, uninspired, easily exploitable (gunparry to face) and has a shitty OST

Boy, Bloodborne sure looks like's it's going to have more exciting boss fights than Dark Souls 2!
>>285936885
>And $10 per month for PS+.
or just buy a year for $50
>>285937468
Nope. Not at all.
Whereas Souls doesn't get any more complicated come beyond NG+, other games often radically change the nature of enemy AI when you go beyond (say) Normal Difficulty.
Take Dante Must Die from the Devil May Cry games or Inferno difficulty from the Ys games. In Inferno difficulty in Ys, the bosses become much faster and have more new moves that you never, ever encounter in Easy or Normal or Hard difficulty.
WAY harder than even NG+7 in a Souls game.
>>285937592
Or buy nothing and lose nothing. There is nothing on psn worth money. >>285937592

>other games often radically change the nature of enemy AI when you go beyond (say) Normal Difficulty.
>>285937951
I don't disagree with you. Dark Souls 1 and Demon's Souls had a lot of shit and easy bosses, such as Nito, Seath, Fool's Idol, Dragon God, Storm King, Old Monk, Bed of Chaos, Adjudicator and so on.
But people here talk as if Bloodborne is going to fix all of this, as if it's the second coming of Christ or something, as if all the bosses shown thus far are anything but boring and uninspired.
>>285937517
more than half of the bosses from Des are complete garbage.
good designs though.
