Bloodborne is good but the presence of lovecraftian themes and designs are way overblown

hardly any eldritch shit compared to what you'd expect
>>
>>336566824
Well you probably haven't read much of Lovecraft, because you don't really see much eldritch shit in his works either. Lovecraft is about madness and fear of something unknown and much more powerful than you are. Not just on physical plain.

Lovecraft never bothered to describe things much, he usually just wrote that what character has seen was impossible to describe, etc.

All of the bosses are pretty lame besides Ludwig in the DLC and Papa G.
It's the most linear souls game to date, and the world itself is pretty fucking small, or at least feels it.
Not much variety in the environments.
Same goes for playstyle. Your guns are useless damage wise, so it's pretty much like having to only play melee builds in Souls. All the weapons are pretty viable though, which is nice, and are for the most part are generally unique from one another.
Music and graphics are nice, as well as the lore the game creates.
PvP is a lot harder to do, as well as getting invaded. That could be a plus or minus for you, I personally thought it was lame that I only got invaded once in the "PvP area".

Overall I'd say it's a solid 7/10, on the same level as Dark Souls 2.

so many beckoners wasting my time on that boss by dying. Defiled hotdog is one of the easiest bosses to co-op because he will always turn around 180 degrees to attack the last person that hit him.

No, I'm claiming that Dark Souls 3 managed to have even more when a number were added needlessly. DaS3's teleport system is literally the only decent improvement for the game compared to previous entries in the series.

No, those are the most apparent.

Bloodborne LITERALLY takes place in one city, Yarnham. The massive interconnected areas of Old, and Central Yarnham, the Clinic, the Cathedral Ward and Gran Cathedral, the Witches abode, the woods, the healing workshop, the Unseen Village, and Brygenwerth is just executed absolutely fantastically.
>>
>>336572749
It's not, though. Dark Souls only has Souls in the name because of marketing purposes after Demon's Souls. It was developed as Dark Ring, and adding Souls to it was against Miyazaki's wishes. Bloodborne is just as much part of FromSoftware's Soulslike games as DeS and DaS.

What most don't realize is that in Defiled/Cursed chalices, all physical damage from enemies is halved, it's the elemental damage that still hits for full damage. Defiled Amygdala is probably hardest because of the arena and the fact that his jump is an instakill anyway. and that his hand explosions in the later phases probably do arcane damage so they instakill you too.

I see what you are saying. It is fan made and pretty rough but I found it and thought it was an interesting perspective.

It's not serrated so it's not going to deal optimal damage against a beast, but it's fast enough to get your hits in and has excellent rally potential to boot.

I like BB, DS1 and DS3 all for different reasons, but I think they all have their fair share of flaws. DeS is the first game so it's understandably primitive in terms of gameplay, but it had some godlike level design and atmosphere.

DS2 was still good but I just like it the least out of the bunch. Wonky feeling gameplay and the level design and enemy placement is easily the worst out of the series

Nice strawman, retard.

>>336576024
So you admit it doesn't have much variety? Good.
>>
>>336575848
I'm not really complaining, I had already beaten the defiled chalice multiple times before this. That was one of my only deaths on that run outside of amygdala. Just demonstrating that stuff can 1-hit you easily.
>>336575782
I have every hunter tool equipped on that character, why do you assume that blacksky eye is my only one? Blacksky eye and accursed brew do the most damage per bullet.
>>
>>336575587
Doesn't take long to kill Laurence, considering you can land a full 150 stamina combo on him after nearly every attack he pulls off. Fast enemies that you can only hit a few times like Orphan of Kos are a lot worse.
>>
>>336576561
I admit nothing. I simply recognise that your demands are outrageous.

I dropped BB about two weeks after it was released, am considering going back into it

How hard would it be to rush beast claws and the DLC beast rune so I can play as a proper beast?
>>
>>336576840
If only that were what he was complaining about, he'd actually have some valid points.
>>
>>336576713
How so? Aren't other parts of the game directly compared with the other Souls games? Why can't this?

>>336576717
So can we just call it Victorian city simulator instead of Soulsborne game?

Beast claw requires you to ailing loran, which is the first chalice that is at all difficult. To get the beast rune you need to beat laurence in the DLC, one of the hardest bosses.

So basically, you'll need to play the majority of the game to get it.
>>
>>336577009
>Why can't this?
Because the others don't take place in a setting that would make your demands out of place.

>>336577120
Oh, well, nevermind then

>So can we just call it Victorian city simulator instead of Soulsborne game?
Soulsborne refers to the gameplay, not the setting??????????

If you don't like the premise, nobody's forcing you to buy and play the game????????
>>
>>336576814
I hope it's not that it's in front of the clouds, because there's a reason for that you know.
>>
>>336576561
It has plenty of variety. Just because it has a general Victorian era theme doesn't mean the areas aren't different. Literally only the streets of the central and inner city are samey, and they're still completely unique as far as assets and layouts go. I think you need your eyes and/or memory checked.
>>
>>336577120
He only has to beat Gascoigne, Ludwig and Laurence.
>>
>>336577278
Pretty sure you need to beat Amelia as well

ludwig and laurence will be very difficult if you go into them at level 20

Oh yeah, forgot about Amelia. Well yeah it's gonna be tough, but strictly speaking, if he wants to rush it and he's got the skill then it is possible for him to go full beast early game.
>>
>>336577470
Essentially impossible for someone inexperienced with the game. Even a 10+ weapon with 75% damage increase barely puts a dent in Laurence.
>>
>>336577242
If you repeat it enough, it might become true.

>>336576561
Bloodborne had variety. Not as much as the souls games that had you traveling a while continent, but it had variety.

>And how is variety not tied to gameplay?
environmental variety is not tied to gameplay variety at all

you can have games set in modern cities that have plenty of gameplay variety

you can have a victorian gothic alien slaying simulator with plenty of variety in the enemies and combat while still having a pretty consistent backdrop
>>
>>336577564
Don't put words in my mouth. There's more than enough variety in the game, there's just not enough to satisfy your outrageous demands.

>And how is variety not tied to gameplay?
Probably because the setting (or setting variety) doesn't affect the gameplay.
>>
>>336577884
>Probably because the setting (or setting variety) doesn't affect the gameplay.

So levels have nothing to do with gameplay? Okay anon
>>
>>336577702
Highly ironic.
>>
>>336577993
A level taking place in the forest or a city isn't going to change how the combat works.
>>
>>336577993
I mean, if it were a stealth game or an SRPG the level layout would be far more entwined with the quality of the gameplay, but for the most part in Soulsborne at most you just have to worry about death drops and clipping on obstacles/using obstacles to kite enemies.

What are the stats for your cauliflower build? Pure arcane or do you have some skill in there? I see you have the burial blade.
>>
>>336578959
It's not like each of those "city themed" areas are completely different in both assets and layouts or anything. The Upper Cathedral Ward is totally identical Old Yarnham. They're both located in the city, after all.
>>
>>336579438
some skill and I fucked up the beginning because I started using tonitrus early
>>336575534
>>
>>336579568
Ouch. I always go for 40/30/25/25/25/25, which evens out to 120 with any origin. Scaling over the softcap is useless, and with this build, you can use any weapon at any time with full efficiency.
>>
>>336579823
the best hunter tools require more than 25 arcane, and I did high vit because I didn't want to get 1-shot by everything in defiled

a jack of all trades, etc

What's the soft cap? I think I may have fucked myself over.

>>336565148
>I just ran 42 kilometres the first few hours
Okay
>>
>>336580021
It's 25.
>>
>>336580021
Ignore him, arcane and blood tinge aren't even worth using at 25.
>>
>>336580110
Shit, my stamina and bloodtinge almost at 40 now and I'm level 105. So I should just stop there and focus on my other stats?
>>
>>336580319
BLT is good at 40, you didn't exactly "waste" your stats
I usually go to 50 because I don't really need health
>>
>>336580319
Stamina and Vitality are fine beyond 25, but the damage stats (str, skl, bldt, arc) give diminishing returns. You can still do well with S scaling weapons like the Chikage and Simon's Bowblade, though. The latter is the most broken weapon in PVP.
>>
>>336579823
>full efficiency
>jack of all trades stats
You're a master of nothing and your damage reflects this. Jack of all trades, master of none is a rather polite version of the saying compared to other languages. Many simply state that learning multiple trades mean that you're going to live in poverty and starvation.
>>
I also started recently. It feels really weird to play after putting hundreds of hours into the souls games

Currently gettin rekt by some faggot with a gattling gun.
>>
>>336580608
Meh, the difference in damage is mediocre at best with the right gems. Unless you want to intentionally limit yourself in a game without respecs, there's little reason not to have a general build that can do it all. PVP isn't getting any better than 3 - 4 shot ganks anyhow.
>>
>>336581050
you can't use all the hunter tools and you're wasting levels that can't possibly benefit certain weapons

also level 120 is too high, you should not go above 100.
>>
>>336581384
Old Hunter Bone and Empty Phantasm Shell are the only practical hunter tools. Also, metafaggotry is never a good thing. The whole point of a general build is that you can switch out weapons at any time without dealing crap damage.
>>
>>336581761
so you have collected 20 blood rocks on your character?
>>
Someone rec me a good blt build? I want to use the bowblade and idk what else
>>
>>336579823
>>336581384
I was thinkig of doing something like this, but then I decided I would focus on Blootinge and Arcane fully in sperate characters, so I think I will just focus on Strength, Vit, End, and Skill.

So around level 100 I would have something like 50/30/30/30/7/6

Would this work well for me? I want to be able to use a big variety of weapons this playthrough and experiment because it is my first playthrough. I a doing it as blind as I can though I am autistic and can't help but look things up when I am curious.

>>336581894
Actually, yes. Instead of constantly starting over to have a 15% increase in damage with a prefered weapon, I've spent all my time on one character. All my trick weapons are maxed.

If you're having trouble with the guy with the gattling gun in Old Yarnham just play really safe and try and run around pulling enemies into buildings. After you kill a certain boss he'll stop attacking If you talk to him and choose the right answer he'll give you a gesture and a hunter badge that'll give you some sweet weapons
>>
>>336581938
50 Vit
50 Blt
Whatever Str/Skl you need for weapons
Whatever Arc you need for tools (15 gets you roar, shell and bone)

>>336582040
Unless you're going to PVP, there's no point limiting yourself. Just get 50 on everything (except Endurance, which softcaps at 20 and hardcaps at 40) and do everything on one character.
>>
>>336582313
sounds boring as fuck to be honest but you can play however you want
>>
I has a 98 blt build that could equip all the blt weapons. I'm pretty sure you start military veteran and then get 50 vit 50 blt and whatever str/skl is the requirement. I think I stopped at 15 end because you really don't need it.
>>
>>336566712
I never kill the spiders ever, even in chalice dungeons.
It's a waste of time, they're slow anyway.
>>
>>336582929
>>336582768
I was thinking of doing 25 skill so I could use the sword part of the bowblade but would that just be a waste of stats? I could run pure Bloodtinge at 98 and meet all 3 Bloodtinge trick weapon stat requirements: 50/13/14/15/50/6
Or I could go up to 115 with: 50/20/14/25/50/6
