He'll miss every time cause he can't turn fast enough.

Finally got a PS4 and Bloodborne + DLC. Time to see what I've been missing out on AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Also word of advice, if you decide to consult a guide for a boss, do it after your regular playstyle has failed.

I'd recommend trying to hold back on summoning and try and solo, that's my advice.

[QUOTE=Highwind017;49230740]I'd recommend trying to hold back on summoning and try and solo, that's my advice.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I heard ebrietas was really hard so I tried summoning people and using the kirkhammer strategy but it failed everytime. Then I tried my usual playstyle, solo, and killed her my second attempt. Believe in yourself.

I usually keep a policy of trying the boss at least 5 times solo and if i think i can't get it on my own after that, i'll summon.

I wish the milkweed head had some physics to it instead of being totally stiff.

Well, aside from a few monster placements and non-sensical item placements, SotfS has been too bad so far. A couple places have been a little more obnoxious and Shaded Woods is actually way easier now. I hate all the Petrified Statues though. Also the lack of early Petrified Dragonbones makes an Arced Sword a little difficult. Oh and the occasional Pursuer fights are nice.

Was able to beat Gascoigne and Cleric Beast on first tries within the first hour or so before the game told me I had to install the rest before I continue. The speed and impact of this game feels so good, I don't know how I'll be able to go back to Dark Souls before DSIII comes out.

Yeah I know right, I just got the game and was a HUGE souls fan, played the shit out of all of them but I see no reason to go back to them because bloodborne just seems like it got everything right.

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;49229723]There were an awful lot of false positive softbans a very long while ago When was the last time you played? and just in case, what is your Soul Memory range?[/QUOTE] Last I played was a long while ago. I mean I [b]DID[/b] do some hacking stuff to get some human effigies and shit, but that was ages ago

Loran Darkbeast continues to prove to me it is the worst fucking boss in the entire goddamn game. I can NEVER hit the damn fucker, my weapons always miss the piece of shit and it makes the fight a complete pain in the ass.

I'm experiencing such a strong withdrawal from Bloodborne that I could be even willing to buy and play the Dark Souls games

Currently farming bloodgems on my bloodtinge build right now to see how strong I can make my Bowblade. Decided to opt for the Uncanny version since I would benefit better from a Waning bloodgem than a Triangle one.

[QUOTE=Louis;49233101]Yeah I know right, I just got the game and was a HUGE souls fan, played the shit out of all of them but I see no reason to go back to them because bloodborne just seems like it got everything right.[/QUOTE] It's weird going back to DS2 but i'd hardly say they got everything right. It's got a lot good going for it but the problems are still pretty big.

Too bad DS3 is pretty much the last of souls series. Big man himself said he want to make other type of game. And for our PC master races, no, no bloodborne for u

The only thing keeping me from giving Bloodborne a perfect 10 is the botched PvP. I look at it as a polar opposite of Dark Souls II. DS2 - Disappointing story/ lore that felt very flat, but a great fully fleshed out PvP system. Bloodborne - great story/ lore with a lot of thought put into it, but poorly implemented PvP system.

Okay, I just got back from two weeks' absence and I'm hyped to start the DLC. I'm just before the Wet Nurse fight, but I don't see a messenger in the hunter's dream even though I bought the DLC. I renewed my licenses and it still doesn't appear. What gives?

If so, try to be snatched by the Amygdala near the palce you can loot the alternate hunter's set with the top hat (Cathedral Ward lamp, exit on the left, under a dead tree with a corpse near it in the small plaza you'll find yourself in)

Can I not access the DLC if I've killer ROM? Do I have to go to NG+?

Farmed enough bloodgems to crank up my bowblade's damage AR to 494 and wow jesus it fucking DESTROYS people. One charged shot takes out like 1/3 of their health. Some punk invaded me with Bloodletter (I guess that's the meta 'cuz everyone's swingin' that thing around) and I snipe his ass the moment he walks up to me, and he pussies out and runs away lol [editline]woah nelly[/editline] also I just realized the 494 AR is actually just the physical damage, the blood damage in bow form is actually 560 AR. Holy. SHIT.

The most rewarding part about pvp is going through the dlc at level 46 and getn that sweet loot

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;49230993]I usually keep a policy of trying the boss at least 5 times solo and if i think i can't get it on my own after that, i'll summon.[/QUOTE] My policy is trying it solo 60 times, trying to summon someone for an hour, go in alone anyway, try another 60 times and eventually win alone. Most bosses don't take too many tries to do alone but one boss caused the strategy above to be used *cough*Martyr Logarius*cough*. I became a master at him because of it though.

Where exactly do I get the beast claws? It's the only weapon I never gotten on all of my characters and one of my characters is going to focus around it.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;49234984]Where exactly do I get the beast claws? It's the only weapon I never gotten on all of my characters and one of my characters is going to focus around it.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure just Chalice Dungeons, i THINK the one you get from Amygdala.

I wish there were some kind of arena in bloodborne
