The gun is named "Evelyn" it takes 18 of the blood stat just to use but does pretty high damage (compared to my blunderbuss). The wheel is a reward from doing Alfred's quest (the friendly guy in Cathedral Ward you can ask questions of), and it involves two trips to Cainhurst (although the second you're just going…

Ugh, I'm waiting outside that door for when I get home from work, this isn't promising news.

I've been Threaded Cane and Hunter's Blunderbuss all the way through. The precision and fanciness of the cane with the brutal wide-blast of the blunderbuss. But I just got that fancy pistol with a female name in Cainhurst I'm working to level up my blood tinge stat to use that bad boy. I'm considering buying that…

I went from about 50ish insight down to the 20s in that damn orphanage.

My run: From Central Yharnam go left, there's a guy facing away who occasionally drops vials or bullets. There are two ogres pacing under the bridge who generally drop two vials each. Then go back up through the house, there are three villagers and a wheelchair guy, the villagers will occasionally drop one or two,…

The IGN one is the only that I saw. Polygon published a semi-rebuttal on the zen of Bloodborne.

Ugh, just thinking of the Gaping Dragon is spine-chilling. But I think the change after you kill Rom and can see some of the things hanging around on the buildings is the most wondrously eerie sensation I've had in any game.

He's also pretty liable to fall off just in the course of fighting him (although you are as well).

I kind of miss the ability to level armors or make changes. I'm wearing the same Hunter outfit I found in the sewers in the first 30 minutes of the game. Outside of wearing some priest robes for poison resist in one part that's been it.

Yeah, the times I always screw up the most are when I'm frustrated and I think to myself "okay, I'll just fight my way through this area as quickly as possible to get my souls back then stop." When I really should have just put it down upon death.

It's reusable, but costs insight to call for help (I don't think it costs insight to go help someone).

Rom took me a while, do you have the Tontirus from Yahar'gul? I leveled that as high as I could with my extra blood stones and that made the fight much easier. That and killing all his minions before his first and second warp, then just going in kamikaze on the third.

I think it'll start to develop over the next few weeks as more and more people start finishing their first playthrough. I would also wager that an early expansion brings in some sort of arena (likely through the chalice system).

Amygdala was fun for the David-v-Goliath feel. I enjoyed the BSB more as I was really starting to master the gun-stun and dodging. I enjoyed Father G but I hadn't really gotten a good grip on the combat system when I fought him so it was an ugly win, I'm looking forward to the NG+ rematch. The newborn (or whatever…

This review is utterly fantastic based on the line:

I think it'd be higher of people who never touch singleplayer, in the BF and COD games.

Man, 1942 was great, fun firefghts on those sun-soaked islands, good vehicles.

I like the blood vials about 95% of the time. I think the drop-rate on them is generally excellent, in that if you're careful in an area you'll usually come out with a net-positive of vials. The problem is the bosses, since they've created a liberal shortcut system it's usually pretty easy to just head straight to…

For a good while after that transformation I was in awe, it's so damnedly creepy. I went back to central Yharnam and was almost happy to greet the plain-old semi-lupine crazed villagers.

That's the better call, being able to equip runes is pretty important, you get some powerful ones pretty early if you've been exploring carefully.
