FUCK THIS GUY!!
Why is Gwyn considered a shit boss because you can parry him, while Orphan is considered a fantastic boss when you can do this?

Yeah I got really lucky with parries too.
Parrying requires skill and timing. I wouldn't call it cheesing when it's expected that you get good with parrying to beat the game.
>>332278595
>THEY REHASHED FUCKING HOLLOWS FROM DARK SOULS 1
JESUS CHRIST FROM
>>332279037
>fucked up once at the beginning
>half hp gone
Being good and chaining perfect parries shouldn't be punished but rewarded. Why that was called cheesing is beyond me.
>>332278595
What was his line again?
>>332278595
You can do it anon.
>tfw will never have a ps4 to play this masterpiece
I want to know the lore and the whole ayy lmao and the nightmare and stuff, seems interesting as fuck.We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood.
>>332279575
>fucked up once at the beginning
>half hp gone
Because he is badly underleveled and would have twice that health if he was the appropriate level.
It's called cheesing because he is obviously exploiting a major fault in the AI, the boss even bugs out in the end because he couldn't retreat to enter his phase 2 form and phase 1 doesn't have a death animation.
>>332280119
>quoting lines from a game you haven't even played
lmao pcucks
There's a lot more than just Bloodborne you're going to miss out on if you never get a PS4. Better save up kiddo.
>>332280119
there actually is no lore, just some throwaway notes on weapons. The rest is autist headcanon
>>332280119
It basically boils down to some retards thirsting for knowledge and fucking everyone over. Basically men just messing with things beyond their understanding and causing a disaster.
I suggest you just buy a ps4, it's quite the experience.
>>332280235
its a quote from one of the first trailers they release but yeah I'm a pcuck ;_;
>>332280269
>there actually is no lore, just some throwaway notes on weapons.
Oh, so Dark souls has lore? Bloodborne has lore just as Dark souls has.
>>332280402
>>332279743
YYYYYEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOWW
>>332279115
It's cheesing in the sense that he's forcing the AI to go into a loop. It's not easy, necessarily, but it's a hell of a lot easier than letting the boss use its moveset.
There are tons of bosses I had more trouble with.
>>332279896
i actually killed him, but after something like 50 attemps or so
>>332279154
huh?
>>332281979
If it makes you feel better. It took me 2 hours to kill Father Gascuck
I played seriously from Sunday to Wednesday evening and finally killed him. Was brutal.
>>332279037
Gwyn isn't a shit boss. A lot of the harder humanoid bosses need to be parried because otherwise a lot of people would give up with them. A lot of people don't even bother to fight them without parrying.
Gwyn, Gherman, Maria and Orphan are 10/10 fights when you don't parry.
>>332282445
took me a few months to get ludwig
>>332282615
have you seen DS3's final boss? If so what do you think of it?
What I remember from this boss fight:
>AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
>Jump away with a fucking attack
>YEEEEOOOOOOOOWWW
>Fucking lightning corpse bullshit
>YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>STOP FUCKING MOVING AROUND
>>332283032
I haven't seen it. I'm going in blind, as I do with the rest of them. I'll let you know as soon as I finish the game, though. Just look out for a post that ends with "This was for you, Anon."
>>332279575
I did the fight at level 80, he could take me down to half health in one hit. Pretty sure I had 30 VIT.
>>332279037
Because Gwyn dies in 5 parries max, while Orphan actually lasts a while.
Even if you don't parry Gwyn or Orphan, Orphan is still a better fight.
>>332280269
What? It's more straight forward than DaS in its lore.

Whats your favorite song from the OST?
>>332280775
What level are you here? That's a huge HP/Stamina bar.
>>332283594
140 I think.
>>332283624
NG++?
>>332283705
Yes.
>>332283757
Does Orphan not get a big HP boost in NG++? 2K damage gets him to the same point in NG.
Recently started his fight and I'm struggling, but I'm at level 60. Don't wanna overlevel for it, managed to do the rest easily enough, but he's pushing my shit in.
>>332283519
I would have one if the bosses weren't screaming all the time
>>332283917
>>332278595
I kind of ruined it for myself. I was struggling for a bit and decided to take a break, so I played chalice dungeons. When I came back the dungeons had made me so overleveled that Orphan was a joke.
>>332283913
Well, the scaling gets slower the deeper in you go to the game. He should have quite a lot more though.
>>332283917
>not turning down the sound effects volume if it bothers you that much
Blatant stupidity famygdala.
>>332278595
>FUCK THIS GUY!!
But he's a minor!

All day err day
>>332284449
Shame it's the worst bossfight.
>>332284541
Nah, Laurence can be pretty fun if you're good at him.
Witches is definitely worst
>>332283519
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiboHWwr12M
Shame its wasted on the living memes.
>>332284624
I meant in the DLC. His fight is fucking boring, and full of shitty elements that make him a chore to fight. It's not that it's difficult, it's just not a good boss.
Even Living Failures have the fucking space meteor shit, and they're barely a boss.
>>332284771
In the DLC, yeah sure.
I like them all though
>>332284771
>the fucking music when the meteors appear
>>332278595
He was piss easy compared to Ludwig.
>>332284821
>the fucking sky turns into The Cosmos
>>332284830
Ludwigs first form is the only hard part about him. If you have trouble with Swordwig I have bad news
for you.
you're fucking awful at video games my man
Afterbirth jojo!
>>332278595
Just lure him into the water and stay at range.
Bait the attacks that leave him open.
So hard.
I think Ludwig is really cool, but it bums me out that the design is just lifted out of Berserk. It's not the first thing in these games that has been, but I think it's especially lame in this case and isn't something I can call an homage like a lot of the other things.
>>332285103
The design isn't really lifted at all.
The only thing they might have gotten from Berserk is the face.
The Berserk horse is in like 5 pages anyway, and never does anything really.
>>332284917
>turns into
>Implying the sky and the cosmos aren't one
>>332284926
His 2nd phase took me about 3 tries before I realized I can just sit on his ass and carve away with the Whilrgig. He got staggered fucking twice.
A cool ass transformation tho. Kos took me 5 tries overall. His 1st phase was piss easy and the 2nd phase was the old souls formula of "you died, but you learned what to do against this move"
>>332285229
I actually fell for a edit of those pages that made it seem way more like Bloodborne than it was. You're right, I don't feel bummed anymore.
>>332284819
I just really dislike Laurence for the charging AoE slaps.If they were replaced by a jumping attack that left a trail of lava, it'd be fine.
Maybe if he gradually broke down instead of just breaking in half, too. Just a lame fight.
>>332285440
That edit is god tier though.
>>332285609
I love that attack actually. Its really fun positioning yourself without any rolling and dodging all of them.
>>332285440
lol
>>332285609
Laurence is a bad boss because:
>Ridiculously bloated health pool
>aoe fire on large amount of his attacks
>huge damage on most of his attacks
>second phase swivel/slam
>reused assets
Boring, unfun, and tedious: the fight
>>332285667
But you can dodge it really easily. It's just one of those things in a fight that is unenjoyable to deal with.
>>332285890
Most large health pools don't bother me, because usually there's a way to deal a large amount of damage using weakpoints and shit. But Laurence is just garbage to fight every time.
do you guys play with headphones or speaker?
>>332286029
I don't know what to say anon, I enjoy the Laurence fight.
You have to be really accurate with your dodge timings because of the added fire effects, same thing with Maria.
>>332286116
Speakers
Don't really have any headphones that I want to use since it can get pretty tiring after a while, having them on your head at all times.
>>332286132
Not with Maria. Maria all you have to do is dodge into her side with the sword end of the Rakuyo and you will dodge her attacks 95% of the time.
>>332286274
>it can get pretty tiring after a while, having them on your head at all times.
Not if you have a decent pair, you won't even feel them
>>332286116
I've used both. The sound design in most parts of the game is pretty bad. I'd like to be able to mix some of the sounds myself, maybe turn down screaming and such.
I prefer it with speakers because of that. Having almost constant screaming in your ears sucks, and turning all of the ambient noises down is shitty.
>>332286303
Yeah I guess. Its still kinda risky since if and when you get hit, you get hit twice because of the fire, meaning you get stunned for longer
>>332286431
Yeah I guess, I just think a good pair of speakers is comfy enough
My TV is a bit far away from my desk anyway, my setup isn't that smooth.
>>332286584
If you dodge into Maria you never get hit. It's hardly risky. Doing it that way makes me get hit... one or two times the entire fight. I have no idea how you can get hit so often doing it that way.
>>332286584
you can plug most headphones into the PS4 controller
>>332286708
I said "if" you get hit. Staying close to her is riskier than baiting out the charge moves, thats all I'm saying.
>>332286751
Thats nice and all, but the headphones I have now are a bit too heavy. They're great for listening music on the bus etc, but goddamn do they weigh after a while.
Might try them out though
>>332286469
Man fuck the screaming. Nearly everything in the game has some awful death scream. My walls are kinda thin so the neighbors must think I'm watching some fucked up shit on TV all day.
Hell whenever I'm watching my brother's dog and playing Bloodborne she can't sleep and stares at the TV in a worried way because there's just constant screaming all the time.
