I havent actually i want to finish the main game first but they sound awesome, hopefully the loot its worth it...

But it does seems there arent many new stuff in there, the "Uncanny" and "Lost" (is that their names?) weapons are just the same as the normal weapons just with different gem slots

I have only ONE major. Big gripe with the game. It's the ridiculous camera.

Don't rely to much on locking-on I learnt this with Demons Souls, lock-on to actually damage your enemies unlock to move around & use rolling. But this does take some time to get used too, you find camera angles a lot better.

Because Bloodborne might be awesome but you can play all the "other" games (Souls) on other systems giving you a not too different experience.

Demons Souls is very different too Dark Souls Story-Wise, World Tendency affecting the game itself, I could go on but cannot be bothered but will if you like. Bloodborne is also very different too Dark Souls Bloodborne structure is a lot closer to Demons Souls than Dark Souls, it also has items that affect the gameplay too, combat is massively different & Weapons, I will go into detail if you like but for many Bloodborne is differently a system seller.

Finished the game...

Great but i think its the weakest of the Soul series, and not because ots a bad game itself ! But that i feel this game lacks "motives", i dont feel really interested in starting NG+ or a new character as i was with DkS1/2 and DeS.

Dont get me wrong, i love this game, its by far the best PS4 exclusive (which actually it isnt a really hard thing to do) but the lack of what i said in my previous post makes me want to play DkS 1 or 2 again more than Bloodborbe

(But i would do a new game + run just to see whats new and play a lot of chalices)

Wow congratulation! how long did u take to finish it?

25 hours more or less, im pretty sure i didnt do/find everything, but damn close

I just completed the first boss, what an exhilarating experience, and I didn't die once which I'm pretty chuffed about as I'm not that great at these type of games.
To be honest I don't think the loading screens are that bad, yeah they could be shorter,but the 40 odd seconds seem to go by pretty quickly.

Got this yesterday. It's..hard. I'm not really sure what I'm meant to be doing. Just running around killing and then getting killed. It's fun, just need to figure out what I'm doing really

@kyleforrester87 that's how I felt at first, just explored the hell out of central yarnham. Found a few secrets, and ran into the1st boss last night. Now to formulate a strategy to bring it down!

Should I be going back to hunters dream periodically to spend my money? I had 3000-4000 last night and died, and couldn't get it back, which kinda sucked. I thought if I kept pressing on I'd get to another check point but seems not

Personally, I always think that experiencing the level and progressing is more important than your current stock of blood echos. 3,000- 4,000 might seem like a lot, but if you made it that far once, chances are you can do it again. Finding shortcuts and learning enemy types will help you more than a couple of levels. I always try and make it a habit to unlock at least one shortcut before I even consider heading back.

That said, leveling up is important. If you do find yourself with enough to level a few times... returning isn't a bad thing. The more times you do a level, the better you'll get. Redoing a stage will also mean re-obtaining all those souls.

I believe I can't start levelling up until I beat something first? Vaguely remember reading something like that..

Its important if you find yourself stuck

Most of the times an extra point or 2 would not make a difference, so just advance untill you hit a wall, find a good/fast blood farm place (there are tons) and level up till you break that wall

Actually, no. You have to "see" the first boss to beign able to level up, you can die or kill him.

Pretty sure you just need 1 insight to level up (the first time)? You can get insight without the first boss by using those Madmen's Knowledge skulls.

I actually was able to start leveling up before i saw the 1st boss. I found a couple insight stashed somewhere in central yarnham, which opened up the option in the Hunter's Dream.

I did not think about that !

Loving this game SO much!
Riflespear all the way!

Ah put a couple of hours more into it last night and I'm smashing through hordes like it's Diablo now

Finished NG+... Now that was dissapoiting, nothing new, nothing... The same exact game but harder, which you could just start the game all over again, and would feel the same (if not better)

Chalice are cool but i started to see a patern :/ feels like theres only 4-5 types of dungeon and they repeat itself, not exactly the same thou.

PvP its a mess, a FKN mess, its a healing madness.

I think you just killed the buzz bro

You can buy the Hunters Armor with your blood echoes (in Hunters dream) before you meet the first boss which helps a lot and also stock up on Molotov Cocktails if you need them. This helped me progress and feel like I was accomplishing something at the start of the game.
