Sorry, not sorry. This game is not fun in any way, shape or form - being this difficult for the sake of being insanely difficult does not make an enjoyable game.
I loved Otogi and i'm a fan of many other action rpgs, but this isn't a game, its a job.
You will die. Often. That isn't a problem as much as the fact that you have to wait for the blasted game to load for almost a minute every time.
If you enjoy frustration, lack of story, uninteresting game mechanics, long load times, stupid difficulty then you may well enjoy Bloodborne.

What're fucking stupid or something? Bloodbourne is not an action RPG.
It's similar to monster hunter where it has RPG elements but is a hardcore action game.

There are only a couple of genuine frustrating parts (outside of occasional bullshit deaths).
Summons are generally enough to get past progression blocking bosses if you can't solo them
The game genuinely requires you to learn the play mechanics. Even Dark Souls players need to relearn the aggressive style this game forces.
The game has a steep learning initial curve, then levels out a bit with only occasional jumps.
Op is right anyone who likes this is lying so they can just call themeselves a "hardcore gamer"

i can understand frustration and "stupid difficulty" if you were bad at the game, which also leads to dealing with loading times from dying a lot

>>321206116
This is very valid criticism for someone new to this type of game and inexperienced. The problem is that if you are new to Souls games Bloodborne isn't really there place you should start.
I would recommend Demon's Souls on PS3 because it has shorter loading times even though it's on console. Or you could try Dark Souls. Even Dark Souls 2 since I don't know what are the loading times on PS4 for it but the bonfires are placed close together so dying shouldn't be as big of a problem.
Many would jump me for offering DaS 2 as a starting point in the series and I would agree actually. Your best bet is DeS or even DaS as last resort.
Now if you are a PS4 only pleb who can't play those other two games then sucks to be you. Bad move getting a PS4 if you weren't planning on being a BB fanboy.
>>321206116
Bloodborne is the easiest game in the series, you just need to get good
>>321217278
BB+ToH became my favorite game of all time but youre a retarded uneducated prick if you think bloodborne had a substantial story
The game has "lore" and backstory, but the "plot" of the game that actually plays out is fairly meaningless and is basically just you finishing the aftermath of everything that already happened

is this a repost?
>>321220637

>>321220621
Uh, no? BB isn't all that difficult but fucking KH1 or 2 are absolutely not harder, unless you do something stupid like play on level 1 critical.
>>321219647
I call bullshit on this. Honestly, for me BB fixed the shit I didn't like about the other two Souls games that kept me from playing past the first 2 hours. I would recommend the BB since imho it's the best title in the series so far.
>>321215536
DeS isn't significantly harder than the others. It was probably just your first game in the series so the learning curve was actually present.

Only at the very beginning and only on higher difficulties.
KH1's first Guard Armor fight is just unfair on higher difficulties because of lack of defensive options like guard and dodge roll, plus it can 2 shot you unless you're grinding
>>321220621
You know, fighting Sephiroth for the first time in that game did kind of feel like a souls boss now that look back on it. Evoked a similar emotion in me, is what I mean.

>>321221958
I remember the optional bosses in the first game being difficult. That clocktower ghost guy? Haven't played it since release.
>>321220861
By other two games I assume you mean DeS and DaS? In which case you aren't even a fan of the series and are an example why most Souls fans don't like BB fanboys and think it should be a spin-off outside the series.
Furthermore, if you liked BB but disliked the other games then logically that would suggest even more strongly that if OP dislikes BB but wants to play a game of this type he should try the older games because he could like them more.
>>321222297
He was bullshit if you weren't using a magic build.
The game as a whole wasn't hard though.
>>321222297
Clock tower phantom was easy as long as you knew his gimmicks.
Kurt Zisa could be a big pain in the ass.
Still, neither of them are as hard as bloodborne.
I've honestly never even played BB, but if its a souls game with the same soul system, then the two dont even compare
>>321222480
>and think it should be a spin-off outside the series.
Isn't it exactly that? It doesn't even have "souls" in the name.

Man OP bait harder or git gud or even better summon some cheap phantoms in case you have no friends.
>>321223174
Dark Souls is probably the easiest Souls game. Haven't played demon's yet though. But Bloodborne is definitely harder
>>321206116
Clearly op has no sense of timing or can't find the O button.

>>321224115
>BB+ToH became my favorite game of all time
>DIURRR BUT LE DARK SOLS DOES IT TOO BUT U ALL LOVE THAT
Dark Souls does it to a much lesser extent than BB, there is almost no story in BB that actually happens when you are playing it (even though it could have one, the events and how they are presented are given to you in such a dry state that it seems like youre just going along with the flow)
in DkS1 they give you clear goals through the game instead of just "kill the source of the nightmare"
Its cool OP, you can enjoy games that hold your hand over this style of game-play.
Personally I'd rather play games that give me a challenge. I like that I had to practice to get better, that I had to learn to dodge, learn when to strike and not to get greedy with my attacks. I like that the story is mostly a mystery you have to unravel through item descriptions and multiple play-through.
To each their own.
>>321224454
Not him but the differences in story presentation between BB and Dark Souls are negligible. In both games you're told very little beyond what your immediate goals are. The only notable difference is that Dark Souls has an opening cutscene explaining some of the backstory to you
>>321224847
>Not him but the differences in story presentation between BB and Dark Souls are negligible.
And the original point was me responding to >>321217278 who acted like Bloodborne has a meaningful story in some way when all of it is either lore or backstory- when in reality BB is the souls game with the least actual "story" going on that the player partakes in
DkS2 doesnt count because its fanfiction

>DkS2 doesnt count because its fanfiction
You don't have to like it, but that doesn't make it less real.

Well I don't go to /vg/ and hold the same notion. Are you going to say now that that makes 11 circlejerkers and the 11th one jerks alone?Cuz you wouldn't be far from the truth on that last one.
The whole point of the Souls games is to make you always feel like the underdog in every fight overcoming the odds.

Did you start gaming in 2015? Almost every boss feels like a tutorial for parrying/kiting or just not being a retard. Half of the main game feels like its full of throwaway bosses. Some of the chalice bosses are challenging and the DLC has some hard bosses but the main game is like 25% bosses 75% throwaways.
I was disappointed id finish a level to find something like Hemwick witches , Micolash or The One Reborn.

It kinda does and does not at the same time.
To be honest what they did with Pate - Creighton was better than another Kick you down moment even if they did give him a spider body.

Kill yourself. BloodBorne is simply a game without a win button like modern games. Its not notable at all and i even found The Evil Within on Nightmare let alone what Akumu would be like to be harder. People like you are the reason i can't enter a boss room in a game that comes out and feel dread nowadays because i know it will be a pushover gimmick fight.
>>321206116
>Sorry, not sorry
Is this a tumblr thing?
>>321226181
There's a difference between story and lore. Story is "Sally Sue walked to the store to get a gallon of milk on her bike." Lore is "Her bike was given to her by her mother on her 8th birthday. She rides it everyday." In the case of DaS and BB, DaS is "Chosen Undead escaped from the Asylum to fulfill or prophecy..or didn't. He decided to serve the gods...or kill them. So that he could relight the First Flame...maybe. In BB there's lots of lore but the actual story is Foreign outsider came to Yharnam to get Paleblood and ended up trapped in a dream. So he murdered his way through 4 different districts and a bunch of nightmares until he found the source of the scourge. At which point he either ended his contract, was imprisoned, or turned into an alien god. Also he maybe helped some people he ran across.
>>321226485
No, but you asking is a /v/ thing.
>>321226648
About that, how does an outsider like you know what Paleblood is? At this point we pretty much know that Paleblood is the Moon Presence's name but the only people who know about the Moon Presence is the School of Mensis and the Healing Church. That's kind of a strange oversight
What if the player character is Mergo?
>>321206116

You should play god hand, now that game will fuck you up
>>321227035
Isn't there a note in Iosefka's clinic that says to look for Paleblood? Also the Messengers give you notes to find Paleblood as well.
>>321227035
Paleblood is a vague concept. Also, it seems to be associated with the Moon Presence, but it's not the Moon Presence's name.
One theory is that the Hunter seeking out Paleblood is due to the machinations of the Moon Presence. The Blood Minister at the beginning is working with it and Gehrman to recruit hunters and once the PC is pulled into the dream, his memory is fucked up and all he can remember is to seek Paleblood.
Just got Simon's Bowblade on my Skill/Bloodtinge build. I'm not entirely sure if I like it or not. Can the arrow parry? Because I haven't been able to get it to do that.
No shit. This has been known since Demon Souls, which came out years ago

>>321206116
Acquire skill. No seriously. Why are you the only whiny person when most other people have delt with the difficulty? It's not even THAT hard of a game.
>>321228006
The note you find at the Lecture Building is almost definite proof that "Paleblood" is referring to the paleblood moon
>"The nameless moon presence beckoned by Laurence and his associates. Paleblood."
>>321228006
I thought the same thing. Master Willem also bleeds a silvery substance and he's the leader of Byrgenwerth. I thought having "paleblood" meant you became the opposite of a beast, like a Great One or something, which would make you "transcend the hunt"
>>321206116
>being this difficult for the sake of being insanely difficult
>implying it's difficult
>implying it's difficult just to be difficult
Both of those are wrong, dipshit.
>>321228006
Funny thing, only Kin (i.e. ayy lmaos who used to be human) bleed white. Great Ones bleed dark red.
There's a google doc out there that basically lays out a bunch of evidence and interesting theories about the game (though some are bullshit). It's called The Paleblood Hunt iirc.

GITGUD

>>321228251
While the specifics of how it works aren't clear it's almost definite that you need both blood and insight to transcend. Get drunk on blood and you become a beast. Get loaded on Insight and you became ayy. The player character acquired massive amounts of both by the end of his journey.
>Going over the BB notes
Those fuckers at the Healing Church were insane
>"The Byrgenwerth spider hides all manner of rituals, and keeps our lost master from us. A terrible shame. It makes my head shudder uncontrollably."
The spider is obviously wrong but who is their lost master? Amygdala? Why the fuck are they worshipping that malevolent asshole?
>"A watchman of Byrgenwerth guards the gate with a password, the sacred adage of the Grand Cathedral."
The adage also written on the Vicar's amulet. So these guys know full well that the Old Blood is dangerous, do they just not care? So it seems to me like Byrgenwerth were trying to contact or emulate Rom who somehow found a way to do it and then hid Amygdala and all the other weird shit from anyone who didn't have high enough Insight. While the Healing Church were trying to use Blood to contact Amygdala in order to...I don't know.
So how about this
There's a note that mentions that seeking "Paleblood" would make you transcend the Hunt. We know that the cause of the Hunt is that people are turning into Beast, which is due to their blood. Kin type enemies have white blood, which could be called "pale", and they do not turn into beasts. Willem, who says "fear the old blood", also bleeds white, and rejected the Church's methods.
Couldn't it be that the paleblood thing is just a way to tell you that the way to end the Hunt is for humanity to become these kin/alien things ? Maybe to eventually become Great Ones. In this case "paleblood" just refers to the transition stage, and it's just the answer Byrgenwerth reached
>>321228540
Seems direct involvement with the Great Ones is required. Rom became one because of Kos and you only become one when you eat a whole umbilical cord of one.
>>321206116
Bloodborne isn't even that hard. It's actually pretty forgiving compared to the souls games.
>>321229114
>who is their lost master?
Master Willem? He's not exactly all there by the time we reach him.
>>321206116
>this isn't a game, its a job.
How much does it pay an hour?
>>321229114
>who is their lost master
Probably the Moon Presence or Mergo. Rom was holding back the Paleblood Moon and releasing it allowed them to complete the rituals for the Nightmare of Mensis.
>>321206116
real talk though, the game has fuck all replayability when compared to dark souls.
I hope DaS3 manages to fuse enough of the concepts to create something truly great.
Also, please let it keep Bloodborne Hitboxes. They were glorious.
>>321229421
Was it ever explained who exactly was Micolash, or was he some random chucklefuck of Mensis that hosted the Nightmare?

>>321229368

>>321229157
This seems plausible except for one detail. The Paleblood Moon has descended before and the Paleblood Moon is pretty much an indicator that a Great One got laid with a human somewhere and there's a child on the way. And the Paleblood Moon happens often enough that the scholars at Bygenwerth know what it means. We don't know how often these hunting nights happen but that would make make Rom a very recent development. Which is strange because according to the Yharnamites the Hunts are getting worse and the nights are lasting longer.
>>321206116
Did you ever consider that you might be bad at video games?
>>321229584
Well, he definitely was a student of Brygenworth, considering he's still wearing its student robes. And he was probably a high ranking member of the School of Mensis considering he wore the biggest cage, which by extension makes him an important member of the Choir.
Odds are he was a head honcho of some sort, probably one of the original founders of the church with Laurence.
Has anyone figured out what Kos is exactly? At the end of the main game, I thought he was "the Cosmos, of course!", that is, an immaterial force through which people can transcend existence. However, at the end of the Old Hunters, you are told pretty directly that Kos is the beached slug on the coast. What was it? How did it die?
>>321229796
I wish I could say. Whatever the ritual of Mensis was it happened extremely fast because the bodies look like they were trying to climb the buildings to escape. I guess everyone at Yahar'gul were dragged into the Nightmare of Mensis whether they liked it or not? Or maybe it had something to do with the One Reborn. After all the Yellow Backbone you get from it says that they called it, not that they created it.
>>321230106
Isn't it a Great One?
>>321206116
I agree its overly exasperatingly hard at points but you really just suck.
>>321230113
>After all the Yellow Backbone you get from it says that they called it, not that they created it.
That's some serious food for thought, considering it's made of human meat bits
>>321230106
Kos is most definitely a Great One and one that had a positve relationship with the people of the fishing hamlet. We have no idea how it died. That said when the people of the fishing hamlet prayed for a curse on everyone involved with Byrgenwerth the Orphan (or Kos herself?) listened.
>>321230106
It was a Great One that got preggers from a human, thus Orphan of Kos. I can't recall how it died.
It's the easiest fucking Souls game, c'mon son.
>>321230014
I thought Laurence was opposed to Mensis though. otherwise why would be an ally to the Moon Presence/have a fallout with Byrgenwerth ? The lore in this game is so confusing
Also who were the sack people at yahar'gul and what were they doing ? And why did Mensis/the amygdalas get rid of them after killing Rom ? Why was Rom protecting them, and from who ? I don't understand any of this.
>>321230342
I thought that the fishing hamlet was a whaling village, hence why they all had spears and shit. It wouldn't surprise me if they killed Kos.

Well the Snatchers were obviously kidnapping nerds in their sacks. Some Yharnamites were in Yahargu'ul as well, near the entrance to the Paarl fight. Probably got to do something with the One Reborn maybe?
>>321230423
They were kidnapping people to cut them up to make the one reborn. The one reborn is a disgusting amalgamation of body parts anyway. I assume that those represent the parts of people used in the ritual meant to summon him.
>>321230708
I doubt it has to do with the one reborn because the snatchers were not in league with Mensis. otherwise, why would they all disappear after killing Rom ? It seems like Rom was somehow protecting them, and the village got invaded after this.

I thought it was fun. Then again I'm not a punk bitch ass faggot.

HHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
this game is a stale, boring, repetitive, non challenging pile of steaming shit
everything good about dark souls was gutted in order to make it a "gotta go fast" piece of shit
stamina is absolutely retarded, you dodge everywhere with no effort. It's not punishing at all if you fuck up a dodge because you can just do it 8 more times with no worries
there is absolutely no item progression to speak of in the game. for armors, the first hunter gear you find can basically be considered your general BiS gear in all but a few fringe cases/boss fights. there are literally only 2 weapons worth using at all, not only due to the fact that they are the most overpowered, but also effortlessly attainable (saw > ludwigs)
the environment and atmosphere is nice for the first 30 minutes, then turn to repetitive shit with occasional fresh scenery. "hurr hey what should we do with this area?" "I know! Let's pile a bunch of stupid fucking stone statues of people all over the place like the last 20 areas we did that in!" "How brilliant!"
the bosses are repetitive in appearance, predictable in behavior, and not challenging at all
90% of their appearances can be described as amalgamations of spindly limbs, hair, and blood
90% of their behaviors can be described as a windup followed by a period of aggressive slashing
fights are a retardedly simple as dodging forward diagonally during this windup and attacking until out of stamina as they wail away facing away from you
and that's only IF you haven't found out that half the bosses are even easier to kill than that with oil + molotovs
and even that's only if you haven't figured out that most of the time you can summon MULTIPLE coop npc to basically kill the bosses for you while you run around with your dick in your hand listening to the boss themes (quite literally the only redeemable aspect of the game)

You're a fucking faggot, dude.
>>321230342
But then, why did Kos "grant eyes" to Rom? Also isn't it weird that a great one could bear a child? All other cases (Yarnahm, the prostitute...) work the other way around.
>>321206116
That's a mighty fine opinion you have there, thanks for sharing
Did it really need its own thread though?
OP, have you upgraded your weapons with bloodstones yet?
>>321231575
Well they obviously weren't a female Great One, like Kos was.
>>321231606
Let's talk lore so we don't let this thread go to waste.
>>321231573
amazing retort, absolutely blew me away pal
about as full of substance and thought as bloodborne was
>>321206116
Not all games are for you.
It's too difficult for you, accept it. Get over yourself, it's a well executed concept that you happen not to like. You don't have to like everything.

Here's the breakdown of events
>Reports of eldritch fuckery from the Fishing Hamlet
>Brygenwerth investigates, finds parasites turning everyone into fish people
>Byrgenwerth massacres the hamlet, digging around in people's skulls for eyes (as described in the accursed brew)
>Finds Kos' corpse, realizes it's pregnant
>Rips out the babby and experiments on it (this depicted in murals at the Research Hall)
>Babby lives on in the Hunter's Nightmare, a grotesque reflection of the hunter's sins
Fucking casuals.

You are taking it way to literal.
Pale blood is the blood of the cosmic beings. Everyone got a taste and went nuts, started injecting themselves with the beast blood and using women to create blood ministrations. They are all seeking the blood of cosmic ones to get that better high, since the shit they are using is the corrupted garbage they found in the chalice dungeons.
It honestly just means you're not good at the game or do not have time to get gud at the game. I have a friend who is the same way. What you want is a game where you can choose your difficulty, and have your hand held. I'm just saying this because this game is actually pretty fun, but only if you're willing to learn how to play the game. Should have just done some research on the game a little more.
>>321206116
>being this difficult for the sake of being insanely difficult does not make an enjoyable game.
Do people really find Bloodborne this difficult? I never played a Souls game before, but I played Bloodborne and didn't have any trouble. I'm not saying I'm an amazing gamer or anything, but all I really had to do was train myself to play cautiously.
>fight one enemy at a time
>always have an escape plan
>be wary of traps and hidden enemies
That's all you have to do.
If someone says Bloodborne is too difficult it makes me think they must be playing it like Duke Nukem and refuse to be cautious.
Despite the baiting OP it is possible to simply not like Bloodborne and Dark Souls. I like them but despite what anyone else would say, they're not for everyone. They're all worth at least trying however.
>>321234285
DLC and deflied chalice dungeons are fucking hard.
Rest is pretty easy.
>>321209641
I've dumped about ~1.2k hours in DeS / DaS and I'd say that BB is more difficult because it lulls you into patterns of comfort and then adds an extra swing or a wind up on an attack that you don't expect. It knows you've probably played games like this and tries to play around you. It's generally faster, too, even if you are. Sometimes you can get caught in a combo.
it's still not too hard or anything.
