I'm going back to see how much more I like quickstepping than rolling.
1. Bloodborne
2. Dark Souls
3. Dark Souls 2
4. Dark Souls 3
5. Demon's Souls
>>342936648
My favorite part of Bloodborne is that it doesn't have some bullshit poise system that doesn't even exist. And how most enemies actually get stunned from being hit. And quickstepping is just generally better than that autistic roll that a fully armored up knight can someone pull off.
the fucking triple hunters in the yahar'ghul chapel fuck me up every time. I want to get past them and level another 10 times or so and finally start the fucking Old Hunters, but some stupid fucking dogs were especially bitchy and I lost 50,000 echoes. I'm probably just gonna let it sit for a few days and play something else, I always come back
If you include The Old Hunters content and forget about the slog that is Chalice Dungeons I think Bloodborne is the best game by From, and by a significant margin.
The aesthetics, atmosphere, sound design, music, mechanics and speed of the gameplay all mesh together so perfectly.
I've spent hundreds to thousands of hours in other games and only maybe 150 hours in Bloodborne but it's currently my favourite game just due to how well it does what it does.
i wish i had one more area instead of all the chalice dungeons though, they're so fucking boring and lazy.
>>342936913
Same here. I always have to cheese the shit out of them.
>>342936880
Pretty much all of this. Plus the whole rally system or whatever they called it. I love being able to get my health back from beating the shit out of enemies. I like blood vials a lot more than some shitty finite source of mystical orange juice too.
Put about 25 hours into DS3 before switching back to my edgy female cainhurst knight
going back to it after DS3 was a breath of fresh air. besides the shitty load times.
>>342936648
Back to plating it and working on my skl quality build to get ready for the weekend fightclub with /vg/
I jumped back into it after the complete disappointment that was DS3, but I fucked up my build, so I'm putting the game off until I think of a new one.

What the fuck? I don't think I would of just turned the console off or anything and surely it should of saved immediately after you kill a boss? I had to do it all over again and I died more than was necessary since I was impatient and rushed it.
>>342937146
I actually disagree about the Chalice Dungeons - to me they get old slower than some more areas in the main game would of. And that has to do, for the most part, with how some enemies, items, and occurrences within them are extremely rare, or can be changed by you modifying the variables of them. I also like a lot of the enemies in them.
The Chalice Dungeons are pretty much something I would of KILLED for when Demon's Souls was the only game in the series. All I wanted was more content and enemies and that's what this delivers imo.
Ohhhhh boy, I finally got back to the dream and get to hear the doll's sweet voice again. I forgot how much I love her.

>>342941749
>implying I need a reason
Get out of here with your bad vibes.
>>342940959
I'm surprised there isn't more porn of the doll. Or like, lewd drawings of her in general. I've seen literally one picture and that's it.
It was easily the best in the series, but with a few tweaks I could see myself investing a thousand hours into it. It's really a shame the FRC chalices and endgame gems are locked behind hours and hours of bullshit.
Personally I prefer the Abandoned Doll to the normal one. There's something even more mysterious about her, especially sinceif you zoom in with the monocular, you can see she's still alive and her fingers are tapping the floor
>>342942380
Never played the game, just tell me.
>>342942648
Stop acting like it's bad that there's no lewdery with the doll. She's absolutely perfect the way she is, lewd or not.
>>342942650
What kind of tweaks are you getting at? Like balance changes?
>>342942936
Is it morse code or something?
I can understand why many people would rate it the best in the series but I don't really care for it myself.
I wish more light was shed on Maria. Her fight was really fun and she's a cool character too. Some people probably enjoy the mystery to her but I still wanna know more.
>>342936913
You can kite them outside, they eventually separate
>>342936880
This is why I also think Dark Souls 3 is the best DS, you can play it like it's bloodborne. I was never a poise/heavy player so the more the game plays like BB the better.
>>342936913
50k blood echoes is nothing. Chances are you will be overleveled around the end so it might even be a good thing. If you're gonna do chalice dungeons then they will shit out blood echoes like nothing else in the game.

>lore is not a basic rehash like DaS3 was
>fashion
>bonfire ascetic
>NG+ adds more to the game
After playing DaS3 and completely missing the ascetic and NG+ gameplay I just completely stopped. It got real boring after that due to the linearity of the level design and completely missing all the good things DaS2 added to the series.
DaS3 lacks replayability for me, regardless, DaS3 has some of my favourite Souls bosses in the franchise.

Went back to it after DS3, and it's as great as I remember it to be. Grabbed the Boom Hammer and the Minigun right after I beat Amelia and now I'm shooting my way through the forbidden woods, thinking the Minigun is the greatest thing they ever put in the game
>>342948292
When PS4 Emulation is a thing, I guess.
Does anyone know if there are any plans for Bloodborne to have a sequel? I'd even settle for more DLC at this point...Bloodborne was exactly the kind of update the souls series needed. The quickstep combat system really makes you feel like a badass, and the setting is probably the most interesting I've seen in a while.
>>342944095
Is this really what from intended players to do? Because if so, its fucking bad design.
>>342948832
There a lots of occasions where you can/should aggro an enemy away from some others to kill them separately. Of course you don't NEED to do it.
You would need to be fucking crazy to fight them all at the same time, though. Even 2 of them is more manageable.
>>342948832
I think the least cheesy way to do it is to to quickly kill the one on the staircase with a backstab visceral and then going to town on him before he gets up. Leaves you with 2 hunters which is a lot more manageable.
>mfw the focus of bloodborne is that levelling up somehow matters
This sucks, i remember in DS1 i only levelled up just to use certain weapons and just upgraded them to beat niggas.
>>342936880
A fully armored knight would have just as much trouble quick-stepping. If anything, rolling lets the armor's weight take care of momentum

Stopped playing DS3 a few weeks ago, had a bow only run on the go, but got bored with it. Got tired of the online. Duelling is ok, but gets boring when you see the same build 20 times and invading is usually always just 3/4v1

Bloodborne really felt like the proper sendoff for the souls series than Dark Souls 3 did, but I still have gripes with the game.
>Every build is literally just melee. In a game with GUNS you can't choose to be a bloodtinge marksman or cast arcane shit 24/7.
>Like every other souls game, your stamina translates to how much damage you can dish out and pretty much having 45% stamina runes with Hunter rune is the best combination because of this.
>Once you get your blood rocks and clear chalice dungeons there's NOTHING to do, at least you could enjoy playing DS1 over again with a new build but not in bloodborne as all builds are the same.
I still got 170 hours out of it but that's just because there was literally nothing else worth playing on the PS4
>>342955080
Too bad. Parrying with transform switch would have been neat.

>>342955780
After killing blood-starved beast fast travel to Cathedral Ward and turn right before exiting the building, a door will have opened and the game gives you NO fucking indicator of it or reason for it being open whatsoever.

If not, go back to the cathedral ward, kill vicar amelia, and in the roundabout outdoor room at the bottom of the path that leads to the front door of the cathedral, look for a door on the left that is being guarded by one of the big ass church dudes. Go through there to get to the forest. Have fun, it's literally the worst area of the game.

You want to go down the Old Hunter Workshop tower. If you follow the outside path at the entrance of the tower, you should find a shard dropping beast-thing with a ledge to drop down to. Eventually that will get you into the next area. Other option is buy the key for 10k.

End this meem. I had more fun trying new builds in Bloodborne than I did in the other games because the weapons are more depthful and are much more unique from each other. Your playstyle differs quite a lot depending on the weapon you use.

Man I wish other weapons in DS3 have quick step. I think I perfer BB for the aggressiveness
>>342956526
You enjoyed the weapons more than the abilities that defined your build, of which there were none.
The weapons are all underwhelming to me in terms of usefulness, nothing comes even close to Ludwig's blade, and that's really disappointing because there's heaps of cool weapons with cool animations for them but..

i understand that ( ._.)
>smacking the one reborn with max beasthood and bolt paper using the holy blade

Seeing those big numbers get me all kinds of revved up. One reborn may be easy, but it's so big that when it's staggered, it won't fly across the arena.
>>342956106
>Have fun, it's literally the worst area of the game.
The Forbidden Woods or the part with Vicar Amelia?
>>342955992
>>342956474

>>342956818
The weapons define the build, anon. I don't see anything wrong with that when the weapons are as detailed as they are.
>Ludwig's R1 spam does more DPS than 2H R1 spam.
Pure DPS doesn't mean that much in a game where you have to stop attacking to stay alive. 2H has more damage per hit, longer range and wider cleaves, it's better at staggering larger enemies too. I used it more than the 1H form. In fact I think the 1H form is pretty garbage because a saw cleaver would offer you the same things but with more damage, especially against beasts. And that's another thing, some weapons are better against certain enemies / bosses than others are. Bosses you struggled with could be a cakewalk with a different weapon or build, and vice versa.
Anyway I can understand just sticking to the weapon you find most effective for your first playthrough, I did that too, but trying out new builds is about trying out new playstyles, and the different weapons do that. I don't really understand how this is an issue for you. Even if you don't have tons of magic or hunter's tools, an arcane or bloodtinge build would still play very differently to a skill or strength based one.
Also I don't know about you but I always made my builds for PvP, and there are a lot of weapons that outclass Ludwig's blade there.
>>342957672
First area of the expansion is undoubtedly the worst area of the game.
>Copypaste of the cathedral ward
>>342957672
He probably meant forbidden woods. It's linear and repetitive and kinda hard to see in. Like, I was really anxious going through it the first time because it can be hard to tell what is walkable ground and what is scenery, and where there might be enemies waiting to see you coming and ambush the fuck out of you, but there's actually nothing to worry about except maybe the snakeheads. That's the second half anyway, the first is a bit more enjoyable.

>>342936757
The correct list is
1. Dark Souls
2. Bloodborne
3. Dark Souls 3
4. Demon's Souls
5. Dark Souls 2
And Dark Souls 2 isn't bad, it's just a bad souls game. Also, this list is law, because it's my opinion and you're not allowed to think otherwise. i'm right, you're wrong.
I pretty much finished the game and made a new character with skill and bloodtinge build
I wanna get back to it, but after finishing DS3 I think I'm finally done with the Souls games, they just don't have the bring feel to me anymore
>>342958651
Who are you to decide if he throws it away and why do you care, are you his mom?
I just played it through for the first time, including The Old Hunters. I'd say DS3 had better bosses and enemy design throughout, but Bloodborne had way way better area design and use of space. I'm struggling to think of a single game with better level design.
Of the two I think I prefer Bloodborne, if only because the lore is all brand new and feels like fresh and enthusiastic. DS3 felt kinda stale in that regard. Both are amazing though. A game with the strengths of both would be maybe one of the best games ever made.

>>342965193
That's pretty much how it goes, yeah. I actually think the mechanics of Bloodborne aren't totally bad for PVP(a little shallow, but still fun), but the damage is all kinds of fucked. I think they thought that it should be that high because it's harder to actually hit people with the mobility options, but it just ends up playing like that almost every fight.
>>342965193
ok
>>342965193
real sword fights should end after the first body hit, though.
>>342965947
So? We're talking about a video game here. Realism has never been the objective on any of these games. Dashing around like an anime character to avoid those hits isn't "realistic" either.
>>342966169

>tfw
>>342966408
I like those mechanics. Not because they're "like real sword fights" though as the person I was quoting suggested. Bloodborne is a step or two further from realism than you can get.
>>342958095
The Nightmare Frontier is great you plen.
Watching those psychotic fucks beat the will to live out of hordes of cowering beasts while screaming "MORE BLOOD" and "BLOOD, NOW" set to a symphony of clanging Beast Cutters and exploding Boom Hammers is one of the highlights of the game.
