>>336177597
This right here is why DS3 is better than BB. You call having the ability to run through the entire game without getting hit "good". I feel sorry for you, having to play games at 20fps and at 900p must have fried your brain.
>>336177476
You can kill half of them without the other half even turning around.
>>336177476
lol like landing an axe spin in the middle of that crowd isn't the most satisfying thing in soulsborne.

At least you aren't one of my friends.
he got stuck on the first boss for 6 hours. SIX HOURS.
AND HE COMPLAINED IN THE PARRTY THE WHOLE TIME.
He also only beat him with molotovs. same with the 2nd boss.

>>336177476
there is no other part in Bloodborne that has that many enemies all in one place.
they probably designed this part of the game like this to teach you a valuable gameplay mechanic: drawing out single enemies from a larger group.
just goes to show how amazing Bloodborne's level design is.
>>336178165
The only exception is the run to smelter in Scholar of the First Sin.
>>336178165
>>336178184
But it was the easiest in BB thanks to the dodges costing 1 stamina and having iframes outta the ass
>>336177912
>PC cuck butt blasted because he'll never get to enjoy the best souls game.
>>336178281
pretty much. it fucked over everyone that was new to the series
>>336178375
DaS 3 also has this problem.
>>336178165
Actually no, just BB
>>336178519
True enough, but I don't mind it too much. Fighting all of the enemies every time you die to the boss sucks, I mostly just enjoy fighting them when I'm exploring it for the first time that playthrough.
>>336178297
>running to smelly
>not just going up the ladder to get the belfry bonfire
>>336178109
The point isn't that it's difficult, it's that it's a tedious part of the route at the beginning before you get the shortcut through the house. What generally makes people quit these games is the tedium, not the difficulty. What was probably happening to a lot of people was shit like
>fight through to the square
>kill all the dudes
>fight the giant without knowing how to parry, die
>go back and fight through the square again and die
>go back and fight through the square, kill all the dudes again and kill the giant
>die to the werewolves on the bridge
And so forth, where if you cut out the guys in the square by running past them it removes a huge amount of tedium. If you haven't played a Souls game you just don't know that there are instances where it's better to run past some enemies after you've established what the next area past them is like and how far they'll chase you. I think >>336178281 is right about why the square is in the game so close to the start, but I think it's also to weed out the new players who have no patience or don't understand how much mobility they actually have.

Nah pham, running past all the enemies on your way to boss has pretty much always been a trivial effort in these games.
OP should try Old Hunters.
>HUNTERS EVERYWHERE
>>336178760
Fuck, i don't have the english language.
>>336178713
That was my experience with it and I only got to play it for a couple hours, just ran past shit, because once you have no souls you don't care run to the next checkpoint or shortcut or whatever and then you can backtrack and get all the stuff you missed. BB really is different than souls that it feels longer between checkpoints unlike souls especially 3 where theres a bonfire pretty close by somewhere.
>>336178935
It was the first time I ever recall it happening to me in DS1 i knew after that though.
>>336178713
I usually make a point to kill the dogs and riflemen. Fromsoft's dogs are always total cunts, and being shot does a disproportionately large amount of damage.
>>336177912
you can easily do it in DS3 too
>>336178713
>dying cause you can't parry
hello retard unable to kill gwyn without parry
>>336177912
You can do that in every Souls game though. In fact, it's muc more intelilgent than fighting every enemy.
I always run through the level picking up shit, die when I need to, then just not get hit by the boss. Use the boss Soul, you level up and you're good.
Yo never need to fight unless you're shit.
>>336178489
How is it the best souls game? Really how? It dosent even have souls in its name, no sheilds, no magic, its nothing like souls. What you guys got was a spin off. A spin off that isnt worth shit with those loading times and fps.
>>336179074
Holy shit that part right before the cathedral with all the dogs and crossbow guys fucked me up a couple times.
Anyone a cane-fag here? I didn't realize how awesome the weapon would be until I gave it a go myself. It's like I really am playing 3D castlevania like it was meant to be.

Fuck that, I used the Hunter's Torch and the Cannon the whole game. If I can't kill something within one stamina bar, it can't be killed. Unless it's a boss, of course. Guns are for babies.

>>336179190

I never leveled my health in any of the previous souls games. BB started this trend of mandatory unavoidable damage and forced you to level vigor
>>336179190
YOU ARE NOT WANTED HERE!
Personally I enjoyed all the enemies at the beginning of BB. It was so hype and action packed running around 2-handing the big axe weapon and carving my way through all the crowds. I had SO much fun.
>>336179264

Cane the most elegant weapon in the game. Thats why /v/ hates it. I always feel like playing as a true english gentleman with this weapon.
>>336179439
you*ll love the first weapon you get in old hunters
>>336179523
there's no mandatory damage
the old games were just much slower so it was easier to avoid getting hit
>>336179190
>no shields
That's kind of the point numbnuts
>no magic
wew laddy
>>336179190
>no shields
No shields you can use reliably for every attack, you mean. There are two shields--one is great at blocking bullets, the other at blocking magic. You can't tank melee, though, and that's good.
>no magic
Not true. Arcane is really strong in Bloodborne. They just did the same thing with spells that they did with weapons: pared them down to 12 spells that cover most of the bases of what spells did in the Souls games, but without the bloat of six different types of Soul Arrow.
>loading times
Fixed. It was shitty at launch, granted, but it's better.
>fps
Fair criticism.
>>336177476
>thought there was a way to open the gate the troll/giant was banging on
>spent an hour rolling around thinking i had to have him charge me roll away and hit the door

Nah man. BB is a good game. They're all fun.
>>336179523
What exactly are you talking about with mandatory damage? I'm confused.
>>336179523
Are you fucking retarded? I finished the game while barely upping my health.
>>336179247
It's okay, but weak, the dlc whip is much better.
>>336179523
>mandatory unavoidable damage
Like what? You know people have beaten the game at level 4, right? That means without leveling Vitality.
>>336177476
>>336179190
>no shields
>using shields ever
kekerio
>>336179247
The cane is my favorite weapon in the whole series, honestly. Its damage isn't great but I love its moveset and it's just so much fun to use.
Then you load it up with good Chalice gems and its damage becomes good and it's just a really damn fun weapon.
I liked how Faith and Intelligence were merged in BB.
I got to play a churchy type and use the variant MLGS at the same time.
>>336179523
>mandatory unavoidable damage
Frenzy? Isn't that % based
People that shit talk Arcane in BB don't know what they're missing. Arcane is hella good since the latest patch
>>336177777
>>336179774
Theres been SL1 runs of every souls game anyone complaining about mandatory damage is a retard and doesn't deserve a (you).
>>336178760
ITS
ALL
YOUR
FAULT
>>336179923
It is. It's also rare and entirely avoidable. The only places with the frenzy brain enemies either make it easy to run past them without getting frenzied, or are entirely optional side-paths.
>>336179718
Don't feel bad, I watched my friend who was new to Souls games start BB. He got killed by the Scourge Beast in the clinic, somehow missed the weapons in the Hunter's Dream, also somehow didn't think to run past it, and died a gazillion times before just killing the thing with his bare fists. He was pissed when I told him he didn't have to do that.
>>336179190
>No magic
Watch another walkthrough.
>>336179931
Yeah, Arcane is amazing. The ability to make most weapons elemental without any split damage just makes it even better.
>>336180018
>also somehow didn't think to run past it
not something that would naturally occur to a person unless they played souls games.
in every other game you kill enemies that are presented to you, you dont run past them
>>336177476
Roll roll attack
>>336180113
Until you encounter a boss with magic resistance + the arcane scaling isn't really good with most of the weapons.
Literally fuck these two bitches!
>>336180340
You don't NEED particularly good Arcane scaling when you can easily target elemental weaknesses. There isn't a single boss that resists both fire and bolt so just have one weapon with each type of gem and you're set. Use fire on beasts and bolt on Great Ones and kin.
>>336180126
That approach only fails in two areas, even:
1) Horsecock Valley. Those things are faster than you and will never stop chasing.
2) The deep bits of Farron Keep. The giant casters that hang out there are super persistent.
There's probably more areas, but that's all I can think of because I should have been in bed two hours ago.
>>336180018
hah yep this was my first souls game took me like 2-3 tries to notice the notes in dream and select my weapon
>>336177978
Nah, it definitely takes more effort to do it in 2, but you can still run past everything pretty easily.
>>336179874
Yeah, it's moveset is what appeals to me. You aren't throwing around a cumbersome weapon so it feels a lot more mobile to me.
>>336179157
That sounds like a pretty boring way to play tho
Daily reminder
Dark Souls 3 > Dark Souls 1 > Bloodborne > Demon Souls >= Dark Souls 2
>>336180540
And thats why imo physic is better, because of fire/bolt paper + good scaling.
I did an arcane and a BLT characters but pve was definitely easier with physic.

The only game in which leveling health matters is in DaS3 because armor sucks and the late game enemies/bosses will one shot you if you don't level up your health.
Bloodborne has this weird scaling thing so outside of counter hits, beast buildup or their very strongest attacks nothing will really oneshot you.

> immediately hit a learning curve so steep I barely made it halfway up. As From Software veterans know, Dark Souls is a very different series to Bloodborne. It’s slower and weightier; there's more waiting around during combat. As I played, I felt like Andre the Giant floundering about in the featherweight division: I kept trying to roll around enemies to dodge their blows, but my armoured body was too slow. Lifting my sword felt too heavy. I was running through molasses.

Theres only a handful of weapons that have great scailing. The rest usually have D/C scailing in strength/skill just like their Arcane stat.
Plus you also get Executioners, A call beyond, the DLC tools, Kos Parasite, Moonlight Greatsword, etc. Unless you're running a skilltinge build, there's no reason to not implement Arcane into your build besides personal preference.

DSP died to Pontiff 40 times and 60 times to Champion Gundyr. I can understand Pontiff a bit, but not Gundyr. At all. I solo'd him both times without dying once in NG and NG+
I honestly think he doesnt want to play anymore
>>336179190
>Souls babby thinking he can badmouth bloodborne because of FPS
nigger DeS and pre-PC DaS had abysmal framerate drops. Nobody ever expected a souls game to have good framerate.
I was honestly pretty pissed off with how Bloodborne started. I felt it wasn't being kind to new players and ended up being rather frustrating. Once you understand just about everything you're capable of doing, the path from the start to the bridge is easy enough, but there are many ways you can be fucked over if you're still getting a feel for how things work.
Honestly, I don't like it. Then DaSIII comes around and the introduction is TOO easy. Feels like it may as well not even be there, it's a total joke.
>>336183802
I have a feeling Bloodborne started off hard just to make sure people that bought it only because it a PS4 exclusive knew what they were getting into.
>>336183802
A nightmare is meant to be frustrating, and confusing and struggling and all that. DaS3 is going into casual direction.
>>336183603
champion is pretty tough
not 60 times tough, but dying 5-10 times is normal
Beasts all over the shop
>>336184062
Nah, that's bull. It doesn't feel like a nightmare, it feels annoying. There are more nightmarish/dreamlike kinds of things later on and they aren't frustrating.

I don't even have a no game station 4. I played through BB on a roomies system and thought it was a good Souls game.
You might want to go to the doctor though. Seems like you've come down with a case of being a tremendous faggot.
>>336184531
I had no trouble with them, was more bothered by the darkbeasts. Even then, more bothered by the spider greeting in the main hall. Either way I didn't take long to get past either.

>>336177476
In every souls game I literally just suicide run through the whole level, pick up all the items and unlock all the shortcuts I can, die, repeat, and then fight my way to the boss
When you are faster than 99% of the enemies and enemies give up chase after 10 meters, you literally dont need to fight anything except bosses.

I missed the Weapon transformation in DaS3, gave the battles more variety.
And getting health back by attaking is a major selling point for me.

>>336178713
This describes my experience with the first Dark Souls. I love games with tough battles and I enjoy grinding when it results in noticeable strength increases, but I really dislike having to redo dungeons just to fight a boss again. This is why most games put save points right before bosses.
>>336184779
I really love the scene after Rom where your dude turns around to see a big fuckoff angry moon.
>>336185027
What part of his post are you responding to?
There are runes that cause visceral attacks to restore health. If you get hit, your health bar doesn't really drain for approximately 2 seconds. During that time if you get hits in you can prevent the loss of health that the attack caused.
>>336185027
When you get hit, part of your health remains orange, if you hit something while that orange health is there, you get it back. Its to encourage you to stay on the offensive even after getting hit.
>>336185174
*teleports behind you*

because ds 1 and 2 did it? and there are the deception rings?
>>336177476
Dude let's put chromatic aberration everywhere!
>>336179523
I think this anon spoke oddly but frankly, if you want to avoid a lot of frustration it seems you NEED to level health in BB which I think is horrible in a game that emphasizes dodging in its design.
There are a ton of attacks as the game goes on that will kill you in one hit on lower health levels, and that's much too punishing for one lack of or otherwise mistimed dodge.
I went through nearly the entire game without leveling health and suffered a lot for it, but did so just to say I did it. I basically reached Ebrietas and the final bosses before leveling up health, and I leveled up health not because of them but because The Bloody Crow of Cainhurst was killing me if he ever managed to get a bullet in me and I was getting pissed off.
>>336182482
Killed him on my first try. I must have gotten lucky and killed the dog fast. You get plenty of time to kill them before he shambles into range. He's so slow and you can block every one of his attacks. Doesn't even matter if he guard breaks you since he hardly ever does combos

haven't heard that flavor of the week term in a while. How have you been senpai?
>>336183802
Bloodborne was my first game. It being unkind to me was exactly what pulled me in. It felt like the game began right away. Less like I was playing a game and more like I was being thrust into a world.
Hopped onto the bandwagon late, do people still play online for DaS1+2?
>>336185458
yes, a lot too
Only Demon's Souls is dead.
>>336185264
>because ds 1 and 2 did it?
Are you really trying to imply that DaS3 didn't take anything whatsoever from BB? Why would you want your character to look 100% orange? It looked like shit in those games and it looks shit now.
>>336185458
I still get invaded on DS1, so yes.
>>336185441
Understandable but it mostly pissed me off.
I started enjoying it after Cleric Beast (who, in comparison to the run up to him, was easy as fuck and went down one try for me without much effort). Became my favorite title "in the series" (since it's technically not Souls) after
>>336184779
the cinematics were so dope. the one you get after rom wows me every time i see it
>>336185458
Not on PC they don't.
>>336185441
I am pretty sure that's what appeals to everyone who comes to the series at some point or another. And it's environments and mystique. Those two factors helped with my interest.
>>336184779
yeah they were great
>>336185791
i just love how you have dick shit of an idea as to whats going on at the start
>>336185791
I was interested because of the atmosphere.
I don't consider any game in the series truly difficult. They're actually all pretty easy.
>>336185139
It depends on your weapon. I went through the chalice dungeons with a burial blade and trading blows for health with the headless bloodletting beast was how I ended up beating him.
>>336184779
no you were not
>>336179497
They are
>>336185139
But it fits the theme rather well of drawing blood and especially for parrying you will get hit but if you viscreal at the same time, you get your health back and dont have to heal, so the flow of the game doesn't get interrupeted.
This saved my ass tons of times.
The most depressing thing about Dark Souls III was that I liked it but I didn't feel anything stronger than "like" about it and all it did was make me want to go play Bloodborne again.
So I'm doing that instead of DS3 NG+.
>>336185920
The issue with the term difficulty is people with experience will have a completely different perspective that those that don't have the experience. The Souls games are hard out of the gate but once you master the mechanics, they seem easy. I think that helps with the appeal is that it feels like you develop a skill for games when playing it.
>>336184779
The cutscenes in BB are really underrated and have some legit great cinematography. I never skip them on replays.
>>336178713
You can easily R1 mash and O spam yourself into beating the giant with the brick even if you're not gonna try the gun parry.
And the werewolves on the bridge, they can be bypassed by going on the other path with the dog cages that leads to the dark room with the weelchair guy.
Plus the game gives you 6 molotovs just before them and countless pebbles and basically teaches you that 1v1 good, 5v1 bad so you learn to bait one at a time and circle strafe.
>>336186081
Same thing that happened to me, did a 100% run of BB after finishing DS3. DS3 is fun, but that's all. The original IPs are special experiences.
>>336185920
They are only easy if you played one of these type of games before and if you blind it completely without discussions on the chan and everywhere
>>336186081
DaS III is completely burned out for me. i think i'll go do the same. 100% BBmight record a playthrough for that YT channel too.
>>336177986
Do you mean Papa G or Cleric Beast?
This is important
>tfw I just know that buying a PS4 would feel like a massive waste of money immediately afterwards
>still want to play BB, if only for the outfits
>>336185019
Because BB has two colors, red and blue.
DaS3 has white, orange, orange-red, red, purple, purple-red, blue, darker blue, blue-red.
They colors would probably be hard to see.
>>336186228
I actually like a lot of what DS3 did with the lore and I think returning to that setting one more time worked out pretty well, but yeah, Bloodborne is something a lot more special.
>>336177697
What the h*ck do you not kill every enemy at least once?
Sure if you're just running to the boss you skip everything, but playing through it the first time you kill everything.
>>336186124
I don't consider them even hard out of the gate. Maybe some of them are frustrating, but not hard.
What separates the idea in my head is how much failure feels like it was your own fault. Does it feel like you just died because of bullshit, or because of your lack of skill?
I considered DMC3 a hard game from the getgo (not 1, that game got hard later), and I knew my losing to Cerberus was mostly on me sucking shit.
On the other hand I made it through a great distance in DaS without getting frustrated. The game is slow, once you understand that it's easy. As for BB, part of the frustration I personally had from the start definitely came from me not understanding the game, but at the same time I consider that a failure of the game designer because I SHOULD be able to smoothly start understanding the game.
Like, that game tries to kill you in the first encounter. You don't have to die (I didn't), but it still took me a fair amount of damage/recovery to kill that werewolf because I wasn't entirely sure of the mechanics. Once I got him in a "fist my asshole" state from a strong hit to his back, it became easy, but that should have been something I figured out on weaker enemies first, not lost to the first enemy because it just wasn't in my arsenal.
It's that kind of thing.
>>336186368
Bloodborne is probably the easiest souls game to 100%, only bad parts are getting all three endings and beating Yharnam
>>336186423
Life is a waste anyway, just have some fun anon, don't care about wastingi wasted 500 shekels in half an hour once
>>336186423
>promised myself I wouldn't buy a console until it had three games I want to play
>Ratchet and Clank recently came out
>going to have to wait another year for one more game
>>336186423
Same. I'd honestly buy a PS4 but the fact that it's a literal bloodborne machine wouldn't feel worth it. I hear that it's as long as DkS3 too, so there's really no way I'm spending 400€ + 40€ for BB.
I also don't care for any of the other games on it.
>>336186854
>Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
>Final Fantasy XV
>The Last Guardian
All this year. Not interested in any of those?
>>336177476
I can tell this is console screens hot because photo is in 25 fps
>>336186330
I don't think so. DaS at least felt like the tutorial area was very thorough and understandable.
>learn to avoid incoming fire without a shield
>learn to block attacks/how stamina drain works
>learn to fight
>there's a trap that can fuck you over, but you can avoid it
>teaches you about how the environment can change
>if you want, you can learn to parry on two very simple enemies as many times as you want, the distance from the bonfire to the stronger enemies is short
>on that note, you learn about bonfire respawn
>you learn plunging attacks and face a relatively simple boss
>okay, play the game
After that I felt pretty ready. I think the next thing that gave be trouble was Sen's Fortress. After that, fat guy and lancer.
BB was honestly balanced wrong, the start is hard as fuck, most classes start with barely any HP and while you don't get 1 shot, you get 1 rounded by a combo that will stunlock you, usually involving multiple enemies.
Plus you can't even level up till you find and use a madman's knowledge or find a boss.
That fucking square with the burning beast on a cross is literally the first boss of this game and the 2 werewolfs on the bridge that seem AI linked because a few seconds after the first one sees you, the second comes as well.
No wonder like 30% of players never got to Gascognie.
>>336186702
Getting all three endings can easily be done in one playthrough. The chalice dungeons are the only thing that makes it somewhat difficult. It's more just a time sink though. I'd probably play a new character if it weren't for the horror of farming chalices for gems, fuck that.
I doubt I'll be getting a plat in DaS3. Grinding covenant items is not fun and Ive never gone past NG+ because I just prefer making new characters and trying new things. I'm pretty burnt out on it already to be honest. Probably going to give it a break.
>>336187052
You mean Snorlax and Pikachu?
>>336186648
That's strange. I loved DMC3 and wouldn't consider it as hard as Souls games. Guess it's all in varying player experiences. I will say the werewolf in the beginning is a strange idea. Especially when I realized you DON'T have to die to him at all. It also doesn't help that any souls you obtain until you get your first humanity (or whatever BB calls it) are practically negated by the fact that you can't do anything with them especially if you die a few times in the process. I will say BB is way more grueling than DaS1-3 though. Not sure what the decision was there.
>>336187295
Biggie and Smalls.
>>336186873
You could play DaS3 without hackers.
>>336184779
nope
Hello friends, I have question. If I killed Amelia already is it too late to start Iosefka's shit for true ending?
>>336186702
I wonder just how many people's platinum trophies happened there.
>>336177476
That screen makes me wonder how the PS4 handles that game.
I'm guessing the game doesnt run at 60 FPS, and I have been so used to play DS on PC now that I will probably get sick going back to 30~20FPS when I play Bloodborne.
>>336187286
>Getting all three endings can easily be done in one playthrough.
>just now playing a full arcane character for the first time
Has any other Souls game been so fun on a magic character?
I have one that uses MLGS but going full 70 Arcane is just too much fun.
>>336187371
170 hours on PC and I haven't met a hacker yet fampai. I'm okay.
>>336187310
I just think it was a bad choice. Starting area was kind of BS. Everything after felt largely fair.
>>336187424
How do you tell if someone has the Blodborne platinum? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
>>336187286
I'm pretty scared to grind out the covenant items myself. Really contemplating that 100% completion.
>>336186702
Yeah, it's one of the only games I've ever Platinum'd because none of the trophies were annoying bullshit. It was just all stuff I was gonna do anyway because I like the game.
>>336187424
Mine was getting the replace Gehrman ending. I didn't copy my save file to get all three endings so I ended up playing through three times for them and that was the last one I got.
I did a pseudo-speedrun to get the Yharnam Sunrise ending because everything post-Rom is easy to run past and the bosses aren't tough, so I just grabbed a Saw Cleaver and sprinted through the game. It was fun.
>>336187424
a lot
I think since the DLC they have made it so the queen can no longer drop a blood rock. I've done the dungeons twice since the DLC released and both times I only got chunks or nothing, even after loading a backup.
>>336187423
No.
>>336187448
You can copy your save to a USB and get each ending with one playthrough if you want to.
>>336187742
>>336187457
It's just a shame it's so hard to go full aayy.
>>336186423
Don't. I love BB, but just don't.
>I dream about BB on PC remastered with dynamic shadows.
>>336187419
Why does the moon presence take such an ugly form ?
It's like 80% exploding ribs and spine...
>>336187742
They made it so that you can only get one bloodrock per chalice type on a character. (may be ng+ cycle, I don't know)
>>336184361
Amelia farted
>>336186423It's worth it.
>>336187962
>shadows
You just reminded me about how horrible the shadows in Dark Souls 3 were. Every single time the fucking shadows from the player or mobs didn't match the angle of the shadows from the geometry.
