If he falls off and you can't get his bindle-stick, you can come back and someone will have left it by his trusty Gatling gun.

A game with an art aesthetic I enjoyed was Mirror's Edge. Very minimalist in the colors outside of the red=climable. Clean lines, futuristic Vancouver-esque city. Since my other answer would have been Transistor that's what I'll go with.

I saw that note, I didn't realize there were NPC summons though, damn!

Yeah, I'd say Bloodborne is closer to God of War than Final Fantasy.

I had some co-op issues as well, during my struggles with the Cleric Beast I rang my bell and waited a good while before just giving up, so I lost an insight and still got killed by that big hairy turd.

I've sent two people to Oedon so far, I'm hoping it doesn't eat them. Well, one is the mean old woman and the other was a prostitute, I guess I would be okay if it ate the mean old woman.

Stun, stun, and stun. Get in close to him and any of his close-range physical attacks (not his bounding attack) leave him open to a blast from you gun and you can hit him with a visceral attack. I landed about 5 visceral and just finished him off with a couple molotovs; only ended up getting poisoned once.

I didn't have too much trouble with the ole Blood Starved Beast, he's super quite susceptible to the stun with the blunderbuss and visceral attack which is my usual go to panic defense. I was able to take him down on my third go by figuring out if you get close, just blast before any attack and he'll be stunned. The…

Last Friday of the month, gotta hit their quotas. Tough times for a working-man-spambot.

I loved Monument Valley and the expansion, even got my wife hooked. But I do wish the game was longer and/or puzzles harder. It really flew by and unfortunately has pretty limited replay value.

Sadly seems to be the norm anytime a game even on the border of AAA doesn't set the world on fire. Even Maxis wasn't immune (I know Maxis was also EA, but sadly it seems to apply outside of corporate personification of history's greatest monster that is EA).

Too bad Watterson didn't like the way they looked and didn't keep them up as he did with Spiff.

Threaded cane all the way! I just feel so dapper.

I really only use it on the big guys, that try and bash you with rocks, I have the timing down on them so its pretty easy. But I found I used it a lot on Father G, anytime it looked like an attack was coming firing up close with my blunderbuss. The hunter in Old Yharnam fights a similar, quick style. So I may use…

*Makes on the nose gesture*

Definitely looks like something worthwhile to come back to later (backlog is a bit jammed at the moment). Maybe for a price-drop sale.

Have killed the Cleric Beast and Father Guido-Sarducci, now fighting my frustrating way through that hunter guy in Old Yharnam. I've maxed out my on blood vials but I find that my style of play requires lots of bullet stunning, and grinding for bullets seems tougher than vials (I didn't grind those intentionally), so…

I also enjoy how to make his accent more Brooklyn-y he ends up pluralizing more and more words as the series goes on since they liked the way it sounded.

Had my first hair pulling moment, I'd explored basically all of Central Yharnam, and was sitting on approx. 17,000 bloods. But I didn't realize I could level up from the doll yet, it was still just sitting there as an inanimate doll last time I was in the Hunter's Dream. So I go up against the Cleric Beast and get…

They're not really bosses in that you can pick and choose between strategies, each colossus is more of a puzzle, generally there's only way to beat it. Trying the "wrong way" is just trial and error of figuring out how to solve the puzzle.
