Is it not a true Souls game because you can't cower behind a shield and circle strafe to win? Or does it absolutely require the word Souls in the title for people to get the hint? What about when it was called Beast Souls in development?

>>
>>320225260

It was never called Beast Souls, it was called PRoject Beast. Fans nicknamed it Beast Souls because it was clearly a Souls successor, and Dark Souls had been called Project Dark.

I also find it easier to just call Bloodborne a Souls game because, let's be real, it's a fucking Souls game. But it's not worth sperging out over.

I don't understand the mentality of people who only find something fun if it's hard. I always thought fun means that you enjoy something, like there are songs in the project diva games that are piss easy but since I like the song itself it becomes fun to play. On the other hand there are other songs which sound like shit that I can't even beat because I'm too shit at rhythm games. Those songs are not fun.

By far the longest I've ever been stuck on a boss in a Souls game. Holy shit it was like four hours.

Came buckets when he finally died though, and even more buckets when I saw how fucking cool the Holy Moonlight Sword is in this game. New main weapon, totally worth it.
>>
>>320226451
Dark Souls is difficult but it can be fun. It's all about not raging at a video game when it's your fault each time you die. Just enjoy the game mechanics bc that's what you're supposed to play for. If the combat isn't fun to you, you're simply investing time in the wrong game.
>>
I like all the human enemies with the same weapons as you that you can fight. I much prefer Durje and Gasciogne to other bosses. It feels like an actual fucking tense duel and not just rollspam

I relish killing them, they are a candle in comparison to the inferno that is Lady Maria.
>>
>>320226451

Because it's /v/ and everyone wants to be hurrdcore at all times.

Which is pretty dumb in this specific instance. I mean, Artorias is widely considered one of the funnest bosses in the series and he's barely difficult at all. He's challenging enough to keep you on your toes but definitely not one of the harder bosses in the series.

>>320226451

Saif or Rakuyo?

In my game Djura fired a few shots and then backstepped off the cliff and died. So that was good.

Gascoigne was a really cool fight though, especially for the first mandatory boss in the game.

Do the DLC first. Save the Gehrman for when you have exhausted all other content because defeating Gehrman/Moon Presence thrusts you automatically into NG+ so if you have any interest in The Old Hunters now would be the best time to get on it.

And as for Cainhurst, have you found your way inside of Iosefka's clinic and picked up the Cainhurst Summons yet?

>I always thought fun means that you enjoy something,
Do you enjoy a sense of satisfaction? There's your answer. I don't feel satisfied beating a piss easy game. I feel I have wasted my time. Without challenge in a game you're just stroking your ego, living out an animated power fantasy. I have no interest in that.

Do you think people do crosswords and Sudokus because they are easy? No they do them because they provide a challenge that both stimulates their thinking and gives a sense of satisfaction upon completion. You've really never beat a hard boss and felt really good, like better than you do when you kill normal weak enemies or easy bosses? It's that kinda thing but a game like Bloodborne makes you experience it with almost every challenge.

Was Maria a good person or a bad person? It implied she was the mastermind behind the church's experiments but it also seemed like she was doing it to save the victims from the curse. Then again again there is a mountain of corpses in the basement.

>>320238641
Why do you always look ugly as shit?

>>320238739

Its heavily implied she was driven by her curiosity with the experiments, not to find a cure. Those victims werent cursed, they were experimented on by the Church and turned into that form.

Eventually her guilt got the better of her curiosity and she offed herself, judging from the bloodtrails she slit her throat and her wrists.

She had nothing to do with the experiments, she was there taking care of the victims. Like a hospice nurse. They worship and adore her because she was the only one who was kind to them.

>>320238959
Is accurate. I think the reason she did this was after this >>320239387 (which was a result of her being upset with what she did in the Fishing Hamlet) she was guilt ridden and trying to do something right.
>>
>>320239825

I never said he was a saint, I said he was a tragic figure. Yes he probably helped commit crimes on the hamlet, but we know that Gehrman's motives were to help people, he most likely thought he was doing some greater good, and even then the guilt over his actions haunted him for YEARS.

Gehrman is the closest we have to a good man in the game, one bad action doesn't erase the rest.

Re: Gherman, the autists 90 page dissertation on Bloodbourne suggests that he still lives on either as the puppet/adopted child of the moon presence, or as part of a long con to kill the moon presence and end the nightmare perminantly by creating a hunter capable of resisting and destroying it. Your quest through the game is suspected to be part of the Moon Presences long plot to kill Method Wetnurse and claim its blood echoes for itself.

It is. Just look at the new DS III gameplay video. Even people bitch about it being similar to bloodborne.

It's close enough. You can always disregard shields though, it's not like the game restricts you.

Seemed about the same as DeS. Generally stamina consumption was higher than bloodborne, mage class could only get 2 or 3 swings of the greatsword

OHB was stated to be a male's bone (unless the original Japanese text didn't specify) and Maria isn't missing any body parts.
>>
>>320237828
Ludwig comes close, he's like a younger and more physically tortured Gehrman. The guy gave everything to try and create a noble order of Hunters, he may have even been inspired by the "mercy" oriented hunting of Gehrman. Eventually started turning into the most hideously malformed cleric beast of all but was still lucid. After finally being put down his first thoughts are whether his Hunters are the protectors of the innocent he tried to teach them to be.

It never declares that's a male's bone. Or you say so because it states it's from an old hunter and not huntress?

It's most likely just one of Gherman's apprentices anon. If it was his favorite or most skilled pupil's it most likely would have mentioned it considering how often seemingly useless fluff like that makes it into descriptions.

He literally tells you: "Just go around and kill a few beasts."

Djura was the WWF guy in here

It's probably this. The bone states that Quickening was a common practice among first hunters. You just found some Gehrman's apprentice body part.

>>320249480

Gehrman was merciful, Djura was delusional. This is from Gehrman's burial blade

"Gehrman surely saw the hunt as a dirge of farewell, wishing only that his prey might rest in peace, never again to awaken to another harrowing nightmare. "

Gehrman wanted to give the victims of the scourge the peace of a final rest, Djura was so insane he protected beasts that would tear him apart if he stepped down from his ivory tower.

Wait a minute..is Djura a metaphor for democrats?

The Japanese text uses a gender-neutral pronoun.

There's a theory that the tombstone used to access the Hunter's Nightmare is Maria's grave. The Doll says that each tombstone belongs to a previous hunter. This tombstone is set apart from the rest, closest to Gehrman's hut, suggesting its owner was special to him. You find the OHB on top of it. The Doll is occasionally seen praying at it.

>>320249301
Explain to me then how Micolash's body is sitting in Yahar'gul while his consciousness has been absorbed into the Nightmare of Mensis.

Gehrman and Ludwig are not missing, we just don't happen across their bodies.

>>320251806
from a certain point of view they are missing.

When the bloodlust takes you, your mind is locked in an endless hunt in the Hunter's Nightmare. your body though? I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't end up much like how Eileen is if you don't help her, or hell the normal townspeople acting as hunters that you come across.

Their bodies are there, but their minds are missing.

I wouldn't let really rely upon japanese translation this time. In a pure lore term the original language of Bloodborne is English (UK) and Miyazaki is mad enough to made all the text and lore in english and then translated into japanese. Heck he even hired a London composer for the OST just to make it sound more "european". It's just my opinion though.

>Gehrman and Ludwig are not missing, we just don't happen across their bodies.

The Gehrman we have in the Hunter's Dream is the original one, but he's a special snowflake since he's the pupil of the moon presence. You're right for Ludwig (and even Laurence).
