Did you by any chance get a Black Knight weapon drop from the one in undead burg? I got the BK Sword on my first playthrough. I only remember going in, seeing the image of the Capra demon - then there was some uncoordinated flailing and panic because the camera immediately fucked up. My initial reaction was just to…

You don’t have to play 1 before 2, they are not connected beyond tiny elements. 1 is much better than 2 though. Be sure to get the Prepare to Die edition, it includes the DLC.

Go behind her, she only has one move which does damage that way, the other ones you see a mile away. Lock on and dash behind her as she does an attack, then hit her with the hammer or whatever you use. Then dodge back and wait for her to turn around. Repeat. Also, the flamesprayer is great against her, molotovs too.…

That’s a valid strategy too, if there’s no risk in doing so.

I expected this to happen within a week of the game being out.

You have the right to pat yourself on the back. Completing the majority of the game on high insight is an accomplishment. I don’t have the balls to go over 20, much less 40 or above. Granted, I didn’t know what it did until yesterday, but I still kept it somewhat low figuring it may be bad for me. On a second…

80% seems like way too high. The game is hard, but not that hard. If you’ve never ever played a game requiring quick reflexes and attention to detail it will be hard, but I think most of the people buying it know what they’re getting themselves into.

A couple of hours of learning for any boss is a lot, though. I still think the game is harder than Dark Souls just because you can’t turtle through 90% of the game like in previous entries. I was braver in my explorations in previous games because on my first playthrough I always had a shield up in front and could…

He is way easier to parry.

I am 29, soon to be 30 and have a full time job. I play the game for 3-4 hours every other day. You can do it too. I already said the game is hard. Learning how a boss works and taking him down will naturally involve going from the last lantern to him once more, but it doesn’t generally take more than 7-8 minutes at…

I don’t try to demonize them them, but I will try to persuade them to play the bosses solo. They have the game, therefore owe themselves the feeling of joy after finally beating a boss on their own. It will take several attempts to learn how the boss works, but they should do it.

You still don’t seem to understand. There are a lot of areas to explore. Since you are mostly in a city, it will look similar - it’s the same city and similar architecture is abound. That does not mean the developers haven’t created enough levels - the game is huge. Further on there are different areas outside the…

I played Dark Souls first and loved it, then played Demon’s Souls and didn’t get into it that much until some months later. It just wasn’t as gripping. You can try Dark Souls some time in the future, you may end up liking it regardless of your Demon’s Souls experience.

It just shows how much difference it makes in different approaches to bosses. I beat Cleric beast on my first try, yet had 6-7 attempts on Gascoigne until I got tired of trying to parry his second form. On my winning attempt I just played the music box just after he transformed, then immediately hurled 4 molotovs at…

You don’t like the game - fine, but don’t insult the developers or the design. The level design of Dark Souls is still some of the best I’ve seen to this day and Bloodborne is no different. The environment in Bloodborne is similar a lot of the time, but at the same time it’s carefully crafted, not procedurally…

Don’t be confused - you will get your ass handed to you a lot. I am an experienced Souls gamer and I needed a few hours to get to grips with everything. Hell, I still don’t use the pistol/blunderbuss parry as much as I should. The timing on faster enemies is brutal. The rest of the mechanics you’ll get rather fast. If…

Come on, the game is entirely worth 60$ for the experience and content it gives you. It’s so much more than a lot of games these days. Don’t be a stick in the mud just because there’s some clipping and you can exploit some bits of the environment. It’s hard enough as it is and such things are fair game. Circling…

It’s okay if you go through the randomized dungeons with friends, but won’t you miss the majority of the fun if all you do is tag-team the unique bosses? Bossfights are like the half of the fun of the game. Tag-teaming doesn’t require much strategy. One acts as bait and defends/heals while the other one wails on the…

Only one thing I don’t agree with in this article - summoning people for co-op boss fights is the greatest form of cheesing I can imagine. It makes boss fights insanely easy, same way as it did in Dark Souls. It’s pointless and you have accomplished nothing if you got help.

That’s exactly how I killed him. Screw the riposte, the timing is brutally short for fast enemies as him. I could never get it and died like 5 times attempting to shoot his face before I decided to go with this. Play the box, throw 4 molotovs in his face. Boom.
