You plan out a build or you just throw levels into whatever feels right at the time?
Alfred is the best NPC
>>750568295
What is there great to plan?Strength or Skill for the first few hours. Bloodtinge or Arcane are a meme until they stop being one. Then it's either your primary stat + Bloodtinge or Arcane, or Strength/Skill quality.Endurance can be whatever at 20 or 25. Vitality should always be leveled, it's your only way to get more tanky. And yes, you will get hit.I love this game, but it's the least interesting Soulsborne game when it comes to builds and build variety.
>>750568105Mommy melia...
>>750568105Only leveling Vit, End, Str. I'm a simple man
>>750568105You always level vitality and endurance to a good enough level, and then you get enough stats to wield whatever weapon you want.
>>750568105>Bloodborne Thread>build
>>750568105is there a single western game with an art style as good as Bloodborne?
My stats are now>vitality 30>endurance 20>strength 30>skill 30>bloodtinge 7>arcane 20Using Ludvig's sword. What should I really change? They say that soft cap for strength/skill/arcane is 25 but does it really matter that much?
>>750569624>>bloodtinge 7oof, should gone with Cruel Fate
>>750569624It should scale the best with Arcane, so pump that.You won't escape softcaps, and it's not like you can use blood echoes for much anything else anyway. Don't think you need to add more Bloodtinge now because softcaps.Arcane is weird, Arcane tools actually get increasingly stronger the higher the stat, no softcaps here
>>750568105If I remember correctly there are 5 stats in BB right? And 14 weapons right? Can't really do builds so do anything.
>>750569801>>750569689I think I might be exaggerating this situation because this game isn't *that* deep when compared to other FromSoft games. BB is action oriented anyway. I'll just go on with these (I could use a save editor to redistribute my stats but why bother). Might do another playthrough in few months to try out something different.
>>750569210westoids could never
>>750570454There is this game called Duke Nukem where you can walk forward.
So which shitty recomp am I supposed to get
>>750570454It's all very inspired by Western architecture, art, and desgin. But the game art is unmatched undoubtedly
>>750570884It is directly influenced by a western comic which is pretty funny.
>>750571098based marquis poster
>>750570649Awakenchan Lantern Engine. Rest is shit.
>>750568105plan it out, play for a few days, drop it for a few weeks cause I played something else, come back to it and forget what the fuck I was going for and have to start over
>>750568609That shit is for FAGS. You always start the game by leveling your attack stats till you reach the soft cap, so even at the start of the game the bosses COWER at your POWER
>>750571098>>750571306Comic industry being taken over by super hero slop killed it.Its so strange that when a westerner now wants to make a comic without men in tights they have to call it a graphic novel lmao
>>750568346>>750568295I really wanted his clothes so killed him first time meeting Found out he only drops his items on 2nd meetingFUCK
>>750571349>>750570649Depends are you using Windows or Linux. Lantern is broken on linux on so many ways, still. >https://github.com/Awakenchan/LanternEngine/releasesIf you look at its github page, the releases are not in chronological order even. What does that tell you about the "developer"...Test out all the source ports and pick up the one which looks the best for you. They all have subtle differences, some have online issues, some have shitty broken DLSS, shitty shadows, input lag, frame pacing. The list goes on. You need to do research on your own and settle on the least offending version. Or just use ShadPS4 which isn't that bad either.
Anyone trying the Windows build of deadinside28's bbport? Wondering if it might be worth recommending a friend to do seamless co-op (me on linux, him on windows).From looking at the Seamless Hunt site I guess other options that should work together with my linux bbport game would be ShadPS4 or the SuperMedo fork of bbport which I think people have a good time with from what I recall.
>>750568295too bad you cant join the healing church
>>750568105usually default to skill but i'll be starting a run this weekend with that mod that lets u pick any weapon. this pick is sick
>>750572817Yeah one of the main issues of bloodborne is like half of the cool weapons and bosses and levels was the dlc Base game barely got shit in it after thr first 6 hours They probably should have made more than 1 dlcA lot of Dark souls 2 best bits are also in its dlc but that game got 3
I'm gonna replay BB on my PS4
>>750571769Not really sure about that I read weird comics like the marquis. In that comic a lone guy puts on a mask that lets him see the spirit world and he hunts down the monsters infecting people with a special sword and chaingun pistol that shoots infinite bullets. As he's doing that as a lone vigilante the gov't and the church team up to try and hunt him down. The final form of the devil that is orchestrating all of it is a giant horse demon and the fucked up scenario everyone is in is actually something that started hundreds of years ago by a hunter that originally started the purge on evil but accidentally unleashed the devils into the world by burning a tree they were trapped in.1000000% Miyazaki has read it. It has the horse imagery, it has the insight seeing the world as it really is, it has the baroque architecture, it has the church knowing and hiding the truth, it has the old hunters dlc storyline baked in.
>>750573090I agree with you im just saying Manga comics and graphic novels are all the same thing. Just a book that uses drawings to present its story. However in the west 95% of our comics are superhero slop and thats sad. No actually I don't really care about batman and the superhero mythos is old and played out even the subversive ones.And I do find it kind of funny a lot of western comic makers title their work as graphic novels so it doesn't get looped in with cape shit
>>750572541shit just crashes on startup for me, not sure what to do.
>>750572817I wish i had known about this mod 20 hours ago.
>>750568105Always plan it out. Though I always make dumb roleplay builds without caring much about meta. So, at the very least I plan out what class has the best base stat spread for what I'm going for.Speaking of dumb roleplay builds though. I don't suppose anyone has played much with an actual attempt at making a shield build work in bloodborne? If so, what would be a proper amount of stamina do you think? Current plan is to use a shield with high rally potential to try and make a tanky level 43 invader/co-op build.
The original bbport finally supports Windows, so there's no reason to use the fork made by a 'slime anymore.
>>750575497Hopefully it gits gud because the only feedback I've seen on here about it is >>750574435
>ritual blood (2)
>tonitrus ranked last in every tier list>ts actually the strongest weaponWhat
>>750576201>opposite opinion to try and engagement farmyep
>>750576201It's really great for when you get it, but then its damage starts to even out with the rest. But it's far from the worst, not even in fun department.
>>750575549mm well thing seems stable now after updating my drivers and performing a clean install. can't tell u much about online though, only tested it on bbhost and lantern so far, but i'm still rather dismayed this thing also fails the cainhurst test lol.sprint fixes at higher fps also aren't included by default so you'll have to pull them from the github repo as well
>>750570649I tried bbhost and it just werks.
>>750568105>bloodborne>build
whats the best weapon for arcane build? ive been using the tonitrus but it keeps needing to be repaired and having to recharge it during combat for full damage effect is annoying asf
>>750570649Both bbhost and bloodborne_pc worked for me, haven't tried anything else yet. Currently playing on bbhost and no crashes, slowdowns or bugs so far so that's already a step up over emulation.
i think the trend of fromsoft loving gravestones being spammed everywhere started from this gamewhy are there gravestones in a fucking cave?if you go further, you'll even see gravestones almost on top of a house in the middle of the woodsit's especially egregious in elden ring, where visual noise like this plagues arenas like mohg's and godrick's, but i think this is the game that started it
>>750568105I don't really think about it. I just put everything into endurance and skill and then focus on dodging and viscerals.
>>750568105>just throw levels into whatever feels right at the time?Yes, and what feels right at the time is strength.
>>750578736umm lil bro it all le dream
>lock a bunch of cool weapons behind an endgame DLC>by the time youre strong enought to do it the game is 90% over
What other games PS4 had? I think Bloodborne is the only one which was worth the effort.Maybe Gran Turismo 7 but that's always online and impossible to play offline anyway.
>>750568105Imagine vicar amelia picks you up and uses you like a dildo? I know I am.>You plan out a build or you just throw levels into whatever feels right at the time?I used to just vibe it out until I found the parasite of kos, now I spec towards that.

Does the PC port allow me to reset my builds or do I need to make a fuck ass new character every time still?

>>750586080State of PCs
>>750579696Its the one thing that keeps me from replaying more. I ususally have to rush abd cheese the dlc to get my preferred HMS or Beast Claw weapons and it directly effects my enjoyment of the game
Why would they give you the best weapon in the game right at the start?
>>750578736You call it noise, I call it sovl.
>>750581002The Rondo of Blood/Symphony of the Night port.
I can't NOT go hard into Skill. The way it boosts visceral attack damage is just too much fun.
>>750579696This is what randomizers are for in From games, Elden Ring might as well be a deck of tabletop cards to be shuffled around.
>>750586985Only basic bitches think that.
>>750584803bbhost lets you respec at Ebrietas' altar I think.
>>750587473Arcane?
>>750584909well probably just a thing on my end but the one thing i've been monitoring since shadps4. it, bbport, and lantern keep unloading these chicks' skirts lol, only bbhost seems to pass
>>750587363>hits fast>hits hard>consumes very little stamina>alt mode gives you extra range when you needThere is literally no downsides to it lmao.
>>750587473>Sir Pavel That's a big vicar, why does she wear the mask?
Isn’t this retard supposed to be difficult? Killed it on my second try spamming R1
>>750588528Because if you pulled it off, you'd catch her eye
>>750588909That would be extremely painful
>>750588992She's a big girl
>>750588543I was told by a guy with a serious hat on that you supposed to make it difficult for yourself by going with sub +6 weapon at level 60. Otherwise you've failed the videogame.
>>750588992Someone get this hothead out of here
>>750588543All the big enemies are beaten by clinging to their back and whaling, this is why Laurence spews fire fart AOWs in his second phase
is formless oedon the strongest great one?
fuck i overleveled because i spent way too much time dicking around in chalice dungeons
>>750589323Sounds like it
>actual illusory wall in chalice dungeonwhat the fuck manis this the only one?
The Cathedral huntard fight after Rom is supposed to be one of the hardest things in this game. Augur of Ebrietas made is so easy that I one shot that guy.As a side note, it's also strange that if I want coop, someone will almost always join but if I leave a mark no one will ever invite me.
>>750586985That's not the beast cutter.
Vicar Amelia wife
never owned a ps4 so playing it for the first time on steam deckany beginner tips i should knowi'm liking the kirkhammer but i haven't had access too many trick weapons but i do like the big bonk while having quick attack options
>>750568105I literally only put up HP and arcane for my first playthrough blind. I feel like I missed out trying a bunch of cool shit kek
>>750568347You're tripping. It's the only one where an arcane build is viable>>750568609>he didn't just go full Belmont with the cane
>>750589087>>750589108>>750589183For you
We killed each other at the same time lol. Most annoying base boss so far
>>750568105The problem with making buids is two thirds of the builds are all just the same. Like you get the choice between having your Strength and Skill be 50/25 or 25/50, but you aren't really deviating from that. You'll always want 50 vit, you'll never want to invest in bloodtinge outside a blpodtinge build, you'll maybe want 15 Arc depending on if you want Hunter Tools, and you'll always just dump the rest in endurance.
>>750590036she cute
>>750586985This but the cooler version of it
>>750569917Baste has no idea what hes talking about poster
>>750590272On a new game? Half the stats are useless, a shitton of weapons come in too late and some stats will only work towars the end of the game.
>>750589740Pretty much any weapon is viable, it's only a question of what is more busted.Focus on one attack attribute (Strength or Skill) first. Personally, I like to keep my Vitality at the same value. You only need at least 20 Endurance, maybe 25. Not more. You really don't.Make it a habit of buying Blood Vials whenever you leveled up and have some spare Blood Echoes. You don't want to grind Blood Vials. Just buy them from time to time. Don't think "I'm too hardcore, I don't need them". You will. Or buy bullets, if you need them.Learn to backstab, learn to parry if you haven't already. You can parry more enemies than you think.Using the transformation attack within an attack chain adds a damage multiplier for any following attack.Routinely check on NPCs after progressing.
>>750589601I think there are a handful in chalice dungeons but as far as I remember none in the main game.
>>750586985>>750590212Zoomies need to lower their voice and learn their place.
Am I ready for the DLC at lvl 70? I've beaten all the base bosses except Mergo and final one
>>750591202DLC weapons might as well be NG+ only considering how late in the game you get them
axe or scythe for easy mode of getting your health back via rallyor else beast cutter for long range
>>750591292Is level 30 late game now? You can get it after Amelia
This took me way too long than I'm willing to admit. Probably should have just fought them normally.
>>750589108I want to bury my face in her chest fur and inhale her scent (smelly).
>>750591639I don't think I have ever killed one. Just run away from them every time.

>>750568105SMOOOOOCH
>>750586080>Discommie ElysiumDeserved.
>>750587363It's objectively the best weapon in the gameSaw Spear is the only competitor, it has slightly lower base damage but maintains serrated bonus in tricked form and has a bit better scaling for a skill build
>blade of mercy's roll attack is actually incredibly delayed and basically useless why does the weapon description lie to us
>>750591292>Beast Cutter>Beasthunter Saif >Boom Hammer>Amygdalan Arm >Whirligig SawCan be gotten 3 bosses into the game.
i like the bwoop-woop noise emissaries make
>>750578282Kos parasite.
>>750586985But that's not the Hunter Axe
>>750578282For raw and pure arcane with no strength? Conversion gems on a normal weapon
>>750592297The Saw Spear's slightly higher scaling means their damage evens out. The biggest debate comes down how much you value the Spear's stab versus the Cleaver's headshots.
What is the actual reason for why Sony ignores one of the most beloved games of this generation to the point where fans had to put it on PC before them. It's bewildering
>>750590127The RPG mechanics are the weakest part of the game.
>>750594964Probably some legal shenanigans with From Software
>>750591284Fuck, I started it but I'm struggling against normal enemies
>>750595019I hatevto admit it but yeah. They could've cut leveling entirely and balanced the game around making yourself stronger via bloodgem combinations. Probably would've needed a way more fleshed iut system than what we got.

>>750570454Supremely auraful, nothing else even comes close
be honestdid you use the cum dungeon?
>>750586985It definitely is one of the most versatile weapons in the game but once I got the Beasthunter Saif I never looked back. Underrated weapon.
>>750596074Should have used fitgirls fast DDL links
>>750591202A fellow man of taste.
>>750568105I want to live inside her fur.
>>750596275LanternEngine has a give yourself echoes cheat, just do it once for the experience other players had.
>>750596275For outfits.
>>750591479>He uses the Axe for Rally>he doesn't use the Kirkhammer to have the second highest rally at a straight sword's speedNGMI
>>750596275I actively enjoy Chalice Dungeons. It is my favorite part of the game second only to the weapons and /fa/
>>750568105I’ve played the game through ten times always thinking I’m gonna try something new but then I realize I have to actually learn the weapons and retool my approach for the build and end up going back to the threaded cane or saw blade. I’m a fraud hack who doesn’t actually want to challenge myself, I just want to feel good in my comfort zone.
>>750596275If you're clearing out some dungeons to pick out lost or uncanny versions of late game weapons then you'll find you won't need to use the cummmfpk dungeon. You'll get so many blood echoes by normally exploring you'll be somewhere between 80 - 120 fairly quickly if you start right after BSB.>>750597481Me too.
I understand that people don't like the cane that much but the whips reach is so goddamn absurd
>>750596314what? I have to use the dangerous keylogger website to play this port???
>>750597670The cane isn't the best long term weapon but for the early game it shreds the shit out of everything.
>>750596275Was cummm the one for free blood echoes or was it the one for easy physical bloodgems?
you niggers really need to start PvPing and Co-oping more. >>750596275what's the fun in that?
>>750597670People get weird ideas with the whip. It only hits for 7 AR less than the Beast Cutter, but it has a better damage type, more rally, a visceral damage multiplier, and attacks twice as fast. Its cane form isn't even bad, it's effectively a straight sword with a very good stab.
>>750598189I fail to see how its DPS is any worse than the other skill weapons.
For me its dipshit bosses like Paarl that kick my ass because he keeps blocking my camera and running away
>>750598278The beastcutter has slightly better motion values iirc but yeah people underestimate the whip
>>750568105The very concept of builds is cringey bugman shit and antithetical to the entire point of RPGs.
>>750598189Other way around, it has shit base damage but the highest single scaling of any starting weaponIt's still not THE best since the cleaver has quality scaling and a better moveset in general but Cane rewards a hard commitment better than the other two
Man the burial blade is so fucking sick but it just feels a bit too slowThe rally is incredible but it's hard to find windows to actually get safe hits when I'm using the tricked version
Use awakenchan they said...It'll be fun they said...sucks because the newest bbport update is giving me fps drops in random locations. the 0.6 one is good but i like some of the new features in 0.7
>>750599623Weird, Linux?
>>750599623>anon hasn't unlocked the player character or the plain doll
>>750588543I hate ADHD bosses
>>750596074So i downloaded fitgirls 8 part download, do i need to extract all 8 and run the setup on one of them?
>>750599675yeahthe new bbport update is fucking weird, he vibeslopped to close to the sunTake more time to load too.
>oh what's that you're stuggling? well you're gonna struggle 10x more because we're gonna make you waste 10 levels of souls buying blood vials :) I hate this mechanic so fucking much holy shit
>>750599159There's also the massive range. Like the Threaded Cane has good range, but the entire playthrough is still finely tuned to be balanced for it from the start. Meanwhile the Beastcutter is so long that the AI often doesn't know what to do with itself. It's ridiculous.>>750599545I really wish Fromsoft let final boss weapons be slightly broken. It feels good to use but if you could buff it with the magic slug then it'd be on the same level as the Church Pick and Ludwig's Blade.
>>750600565>It feels good to useWhat's the trick to it? I'm trying to fight a Depth 5 Descendant right now and he's just so much faster than anything in my kit
>>750600502Enemies drop plenty
>>7506005020 good arguments for why they shouldn't have just made Blood Vials work like Estus where you start with 5 and can get upwards to 10+ through drops, but they're more rare and cost more to buy
>>750601004Not even close90% of enemies drop 0 Not to mention FUCKING BOSSES
>>750600502>Stuck at Ludwig>Every bunch of attempts I need to leave and go kill some fuckers at the grand cathedral for healingThis sucks man.
I never thought that a baby would be the hardest boss FromSoftware ever madeMalenia doesn't hold a candle
>>750600602Don't know, I just swap to a faster weapon. But on my experience with strength weapons, dodge away, hit with uncharged R2s, and if I get an opening then throw out a few R1s. I wouldn't try fully charging the R2, you are far too slow for that. No matter how fast they seem, you are faster.
>>750601350There is a bloody skele guy at the gates near the entrance to the arena. He drops 5 vials each time.
>>750601667Oh shit, I forgot about that guy. Thanks.
what the fuck are you supposed to do about this guy especially in phase 2>every attack hits in a massive lingering AoE 360 degrees around him?????
>>750601420200 tries for any boss is crazy
>>750601912Ranged. BMA charged gunshots, oil + molotovs, poison knives and throwing knives. Use everything you have. If you run out, dash in and R1 ONCE then backdash like hell and hope you don't get clipped.
>>750602091>have a bloodtinge build or eat shit ebin simply ebin boss deign
>>750602168>>750601912Or yeah, just 50 BLT and Simon's Bowblade, that works too.
>>750601420>200 attempts for orphan of kos>while only 5 attempts for lady maria, which is in the same tier as the wet nursedid we play the same game?
SLAAAAAAAY, bbport.
how to get past the cutscene crash after rom? I remember this being on issue on shadps4 as well, but I don't remember how I fixed it thenyes, I have cutscene freeze fix enabled in lantern engine
>>750601420>200+ attemptsHow when both Maria and orphan suffer from Gwyn parry sickness?
This game hasn't really clicked for me, at least as far as the plot is concerned. I've just reached the Nightmare of Mensis, and I still have basically no idea what is going on. I don't know what the aliens are or where they came from. I don't know who the woman in the blood-stained dress is. I saw one cutscene between two characters that seemed important, master and pupil, but when I ran into the old man in the chair, he was silent. WTF is this game about?
>>750602762>abusing parriesyou did not beat the game
>>750601912This guy is genuinely one of the hardest bosses in the game, which honestly speaks more about the difficulty of the other bosses than anything but whatever. People say the other variants are harder but nah the dual blade one demands your respect and attention. You make one mistake and 80% of your hp is gone if he doesnt outright kill you and he only gives you enough time to hit him twice usually. Best strategy i found is to dash around him, try to stay towards his back side. And keep hitting his legs. You can get limb breaks on his legs and head stunning him momentarily. Apparently you can visceral attack him too if you break both his legs but i never gotten it to work. He has a weakspot that takes away about 20% of his health, try to pop it towards the end of the fight where hes stronger and faster.
>>750602661fixed it by switching to 30fps, for anyone curious
is this evil??
>>750600502>>750601135git gud>>750601350hey anon, this you?
If I don't plan on doing PvP is there any reason to not keep leveling? Currently 130 and I'd like to have a bit more stamina and better Skill scaling on what's otherwise an arcane-focused build since I wanna try some new weapons, plus even with 50 vit the shit in Depth 4/5 Chalices is still more than capable of murdering me in a few hitsI don't mind helping other players but never summon myself and the covenants in this game seem to hardly do anything
>>750600502One cum chalice visit would fix this, come on man.
>>750603024no that lil nigga is my friend
where do I download the base game so me and my friend can do seamless co op? google just keeps showing me repacks / executables
>>750601420I always can't help but wonder to what extent these are absurdly exaggerated. I'm not particularly amazing at these sorts of games, and I think there are 3 bosses that took me two attempts to defeat (Gascoigne, Micolash, and Laurence) and none that took more than that.I also defeated almost every boss in Elden Ring on my first attempt, including Malenia, who I had no idea was considered some legendarily difficult opponent until I read into the game later. I did lose multiple times against Margit, though.The only boss I can think of in any game that took me a ridiculous number of attempts is the final boss of Drakengard 3, which took me 40-50 tries.
>>750603075The usual places where you download games.
>>750603125Steam
>I go to steam to download Bloodborne
>>750602804>This game hasn't really clicked for me>only talks about lore shitNigga bloodborne is about the gameplay and the vibes. If you actually give a shit about the story youre looking at the wrong place. Its there but its convoluted and hidden like most fromsoft stories. If you want to take the story at a surface level its >people are turning into werewolves, go hunt them>people turning into werewolves is because of evil blood experiments >wait actually it was evil alien blood and now theyre turning into aliems>wait actually actually it was evil old god blood and reality is the dream of a dead baby old god hybrid or someshit and also theres other dream realities and also also xenomorph cthulu is here now whatever fuck you

>>750601912Buff up and whip it good. Play around the max effectiveness of your range and dodge out when he's about to attack. When he's too dangerous to approach then toss some knives until you can repeat the process. Passive regen item from Adella/Adeline can be nice, but don't over rely on it as you only get one use before having to run back for a refill.
>>750603042>If I don't plan on doing PvP is there any reason to not keep leveling?Not really, no. If you want to have the option to keep helping other players. Then you may as well stop leveling but at 130 I imagine the co-op activity has already dropped off quite a bit for you, so there's probably still no harm in just continuing to level.If you really wanted, you can always just make another character focused specifically for co-op or invasions at a lower level if you want. Nothing says you have to only play one character anyways; it can be a fun challenge playing through the game at a lower level if you ever decided to do it as well.

>>750603042There's no point leveling up after 240 anyway.

>>750601420-new desktop shortcut option-new texture selection for gpus with lower vram-the resolution is actually accurate now, 0.6s 1080p was noticably blurrier
>>750603914>getting blood echoes in the game is cheatingGrinding for them doesn't impress anyone. You having to grind for blood vials in the first place is already shameful enough.
>>750590036You killed her?!? You sick fuck, why??
>>750604147>You having to grind for blood vials in the first place is already shameful enough.I never had too ;)
>>750604147yes, passively getting 50 enemies worth of echoes every minute by abusing a bug cheating
>>750603908>no argumentThere is no point in actually arguing with embarrassing delusions of someone who never torrented anything in his life.
>>750603372the real answer is the internet archive
>>750604130meant for >>750603831
>>750604203You're telling me you need more than one visit worth of vials out of it?
>>750586985Every fromsoft game does that.
>>750604147Your standard run through of a normal chalice dungeon gets you more than enough blood vials to make it through the game.
>>750596275No need, I liked the fixed chalices enough to get to Loran and since Loran is D4 it gives a shitload of echoesSpeaking of fixed chalices I've seen this room type with the Byrgenwerth flowers twice in the fixed Pthumerian dungeons but haven't run across it in any roots or other tilesets and never see those enemies outside of this room in general. They're a neat design even if killing them is a pain, wish they were used more.>>750598197Free blood echoes. What's the blood gem one?
Bros what the fuck is that
https://files.catbox.moe/y8jea2.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/xm76mh.pngthoughts?
>>750601245Most enemies do, its only towards the end where drops are less common
>>750604665A bug they never fixed
>>750604517you're not running through a depth 5 chalice dungeon at like level 30 lmaojust killing a single shitter enemy would take you upward of a minute and low depths give fuck all
>>750604665That's floating door in Duke's Archives moment.
>>750604725As soon as I got out of yharnam enemies started dropping a lot less Only big enemies drop them regularly and you will often end up using just as many as you get fighting them
what's the best PC build? I don't care about online (it probably has the same RCE exploit the PC Dark Souls games had)
>>750603569What's the point of torrents in 2027-2 months? There is a plethora of direct download options nowadays, no reason to be exposing your IP address like a fucking retard.If you are on a private tracker sure. But for the average person it's fucking pointless
>>750604665increase your Insight to learn the truth
why is no one summoning? i need vermin to do valtr's quest and i've been waiting around forever to no avail. lvl 40 btw
>>750604169I think I'd like this game better if there were alternative ways to save all the innocents and cute girls. Ebrietas and Amelia might be optional, but I wish there was ways to peacefully make friends with them. Likewise every single NPC questline needs a complete overhaul. Not even a cute girl but Alfred killing himself randomly at the end felt insulting, dude was a bro. He deserves better.

>>750603270can you explain better which pkg extractor to use, what to do with it, and how to extract the 1.09 patch and then merge it? sorry I'm rarted
>>750605629>to extract the game package: https://github.com/AzaharPlus/shadPS4Plus
>>750588543Stuck at this faggot right now. Been trying for hours
>>750604991managed to get someone in old yarhnam. that and the cathedral ward seem to be the hottest spots at the moment.
Should bloodborne 2 ever be a thing?
>>750602641I had stuff like this happen on lantern engine, just needed to clear shader cache and it fixed itself. I also had a chalice dungeon that would be green every time I went, but only that specific chalice
>>750604912>There is a plethora of direct download options nowadaysYeah I definitely want to have to download everything split into a dozen parts because almost no filehosting service has the bandwidth for better. Not to mention most of them have throttled speeds unless you paypig and the "solution" is to use download managers that can resume a failed download at which point you might as well download a torrent client. And that's assuming the file even still exists which is far from a guarantee when copyright kikery means files either get removed or the entire site diesMeanwhile a torrent will survive as long as one single datahoarding schizo or autistic slav maintains an internet connection and the very nature of the protocol makes it impossible to paywall or throttle download speeds or copyright claim files>>750605213>means they know where you live?it means they know where you pee, that's why it's named that
there is literally no reason to oppose torrenting unless you work for google
>>750605663>https://github.com/AzaharPlus/shadPS4Plusdo I drag and drop both .pkg files from the magnet?
>>750605793If it's anything like how I've been brainstorming it, then yes.
>>750605979yeah
>>750605793No. Dark Souls 2 would've been better if it axed everything relating it to Dark Souls 1, and Dark Souls 3 Fromsoft's statement against needless sequels. Plus Sony would own it and I don't want another Playstation exclusive game.
>>750606038dragging and dropping both at the same time seems to cause the program to cease.
>>750606212oh yeah, not at the same time lol. One at a time.
>>750605793I don't think it's possible, part of what makes BB so unique is the slow genre shift and anything set in the same universe would be unable to do that
>>750605872Data throttling still exists for torrents too retard. Thats why people use VPNs not because they are afraid of >oh no they know muh IP!but because your ISP will actively be trying to fuck you over. Its a shit system only used by third worlders and larping soilennials
>>750604875shadPS4
>>750605729I imagine you're struggling with the first phase, if I remember right the technique for his ceiling fall is to listen for the scream then after a half second roll or you're fucked. Oh and you really should pick a limb to beat the shit out of because he has a very long stagger time when you break a limb, also fire is very good against him. Thankfully his second phase is so much easier as long as you don't job his sword combos and respect his aoes. Try a run with the music turned off (even if that's blasphemy with how good his ost is) You got this anon don't be a DSP.>>750604806Spend an hour or so fisting pig anuses in the nightmare of mensis and buying blood vials and then never worry about it again
>>750606586>if I remember right the technique for his ceiling fall is to listen for the scream then after a half second roll or you're fuckedNTA but what always worked for me is sprinting in a straight line
>want to go for a skill build>pretty much stuck with the saw spear and cane for 70% of the game because everything else scales with STR
>>750606586>also fire is very good against himthat's cheating
>>750606832this is literally me right now, I quit
>>750606832You can do the DLC after Amelia though?
>>750606832Kill Eileen for blade of mercy then.
>>750606832Blade of Mercy can be gotten early if you're willing to kill Eileen. Beast Saif can be gotten after Amelia in the dlc.
>meet the one reborn>woah sick intro this is going to be epic>just slap the shit out of the meatball first try, no resistance whatsoever>...where is the 2nd phase?same goes for a couple more bossesi'm enjoying the game but this shit is WEAK
>>750605826Huh. Well I just delete the save folder. And it somehow fixes it.
any mods you niggas recommend?
>>750606832A skill build already rapes any enemy that you can visceral but a lot of weapons have good skill scaling along with str>Kirkhammer+5 (for scale)0.80 str .24 skill>Stake Driver +50.5 str .45 skill>Holy Blade.65 str .60 skillAs long as you're not using obvious str shit like the kirkhammer or whirligig you'll do good damage>>750606850Nah pellets are cheating, they are brightbugs from ds2 tier, are you gonna say that using serration damage is cheating too?>>750607148All base game bosses besides Gayman (even then I don't even like hunter bosses that much because it turns into parrybait sim) and Gascoigne just aren't very special, and then you get to the DLC and it's nonstop greatness until you do a quick Living Failures break
Kosm
>>750605608You can see it jiggle when you're behind her
>>750600431>>750599623I think these grey (sometimes rainbow colored textures) are related to the texture compilation. Awakenchan has bunch of 'developer' switches somewhere and if you read them through you might disable this. One of them shows up the models before the shader has been compiled among other things. I was so pissed off about this that I didn't want to start to eve test anything but I deleted this port and went back to bbport instead.It's stable for me, especially the non-AppImage one. But I do play at 30 fps with motion blur because that's how the game was. I haven't had any crashes with the new version or even graphical issues.if you want to get vkBasalt working (I used it for sharpening and LUT) you need to create a link because deadfrominside is using 'nix' distro and it expects that vkbasalt layer is in a specific location>sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/vkbasalt /usr/lib/vkbasaltOr something like that.More usefule things for BBport is developer section environment variables like>BB_DMEM_EXTRA_MB=2048 BB_DMEM_MB=4096 BB_SHADER_PROGRESS=0 BB_VRAM_LIMIT_MB=5500 BB_PAD_DEADZONE=0VRAM_LIMIT is good to be slightly less than what you normally have let's say 7000 on a 8GB card and so on. Here's more variables because at least he's clever and left everything open:>https://github.com/deadinside28/bloodborne_pc/blob/master/docs/ENVIRONMENT.md
What a pussy ass faggot. I've never seen someone so big be on a defensive so much.
>>750607543>Kosmsome say Kos
wellnow what
>>750605872We really should have gatekept so much harder...
This just in: Local rape horse not so tough without a dickReally though, him going mad horse mode was incredibly tough. I'm level 53, was I not supposed to fight him right now?
>>750608325>I'm level 53, was I not supposed to fight him right now?god no
>>750608121Eat it.
>>750608325yeah bro seems like you got lost. what level is your weapon?
>>750604715Ok now mod this into the game.
>>750606832Yeah it kinda sucks how backloaded skill weapons are. But if you wall glitch at the start you can go to Cainhurst early for a couple of skill weapons.>>750606909The only skill weapon you can get the first boss skill walls you is the Beasthunter Saif>>750606934>>750606953Don't doom this poor anon. Skill builds love visceral attacks too much to do this
>>750608361Welp. At least I get a cool new shiny sword I may or may not use.>>750608430+7 stake driver. There were a bunch of blood chunks I used to upgrade on the way.
>>750608325>>750608805The general recommended starting level for the DLC is 80 so if you're actually new then beating Ludwig at 53 is very impressive, nice job
>>750587473SHE DIDN'T SAY THAT
>>750607956>some say Kos
>>750608885He isn’t new lol
>>750602762I played the entire game without parrying (because I couldn't figure it out around gascoine and just gave up on it then) >>750605001NO ONE SAYS KOSM, MICOLASH
>>750609238It is my first playthrough and I spent the entire fucking day fighting him.
>>750609574do maria next lol
>>750609574just walk around fighting and exploring, you should get some lvls and make the game more balanced/enjoyable
>>750609686You tell me where that bitch is from Ludwig's room, I'm going to beat her ass.
how the fuck do i install BB Enhanced on Lantern Engine?
>>750609834take the left up the stairs past his head and make your way up
>>750608805>+7 stake driverExtremely based. Did you manage to get off any fully charged r2?
>>750609834first you have to get through /v/
>Dark Souls 2, a game about dudes in armor who fights other dudes in armor.>Ranged weapons are at their strongest and even a scaleless crossbow is able to make quick work on frailer enemies. Infact the game actively wants long snipe key threats, draw aggro, and thin numbers before you can even think of engaging a room.>Bloodborne, the game about a hunter who holds a gun on the cover and hunts beasts no sane man would ever tackle head-on>Ranged attacks do abysmal damage unless you go to 50 with bloodtinge and use the one gun that's obscenely better than the rest. You hardly have any range and can't zoom to free aim. Also the strongest gun weapon got nerfed to the ground immediately into release.Huh? Feels backwards.
You can tell they took the Great Ones, chalice mini dungeons, and the entire entire arcane stat when they made Elden Ring
MARIA YOU BITCHI'M GOING TO KILL YOU
>>750610292Prepared to be raped by mind lasers at the top of those stairs
>>750610292*dies to a falling cabinet*
this is iosefka then?
>>750610571very likely
>>750590036Ebrietas did nothin wrong
>>750610571>the little blue guy doesn't exist if you force yourself into the back of the clinic before beating gascoigne >after you beat gascoigne and enter the Cathedral ward the lil blue guy spawns into the clinicInteresting
>>750572549Killing their leader is generally frowned up.
>>750571098those covers are so baller
>>750609909anyone??
>>750573003They planned two dlcs. Old hunters is clearly stitched together from two separate projects.
>>750610790The biggest mistep in Bloodborne. Vicar Amelia should've been a friendly NPC.
>>750604980cute
>>750604980Amelia is not optional
>>750610937Everything in every FromSoft game is stitched together at the last minute. They just do a clever job at doing it and explaining it via "lore"
>>750610998Literally why?>muh dickIs that it?
>>750611071Thanks to the iosefka skip it is
>>750605793Yes since there are good ideas (Trick Weapons, Chalice Dungeons) that have plenty of room for refinement. If Dark Souls can get two sequels + a glorified one in Elden Ring, then BB could get one more game that fully reaches the original game's potential.
>>750611071It is, I've done it before. Though I ended up killing her anyway to revert the moon cycle in an attempt to restore Adella's sanity.It didn't work ;_;
>>750611071she is it's also a funny way to completely brick your save because it's possible to lock yourself out of yahar'gul
>>750611121Because this game has shit ass covenants and it was really cool in Dark Souls 2 that if you joined the Rat King's court than every enemy in the area becomes friendly even in your own world.But also because I do feel bad for her. She spends last moments praying in attempt to hold on to herself. It triggers my internal instincts to protect the helpless.
>>750611619She's a bitch that led to the hunt even hapenning. She could have stopped blood ministration. What kind of retarded dealer takes their own stuff anyway? She deserves death.
>>750611408it's a little weird to obsess with NPCs with so little content
>>750610571no, the one in the room where you wake up, the one that drops iosefkas vial that looks like the one in the hallway
>>750603689most embarrassing shit i've read in a while. what kind of zoomer moron doesn't already have a torrent client installed?
>>750611548>>750611123If you wanna count glitches Mergo is literally the only required boss
Build arcane.
>>750611770If you are going to blame anyone, blame Laurence. We don't even know exactly when Amelia became Vicar so for all we know, she first became the leader when shit already hit the fan and couldn't do much to clean Laurence's mess.
>>750611941This isn't the first hunt. Laurence had the excuse of not knowing the side effects, but she must have known. A vicar must have been in the know about the whole thing. She knowingly continued. By her behavior when we meet her, praying and shit, she was a zealot with no regard for the consequences. There was Laurence's skull on the altar she was praying at. What did she expect would happen?
>>750611619>it was really cool in Dark Souls 2 that if you joined the Rat King's court than every enemy in the area becomes friendly even in your own world.Not only was this from DS1 forest covenant, it doesn't make up for doors of pharros and grave of saints being really short garbage levels.
>>750591292you can enter the dlc after ce teal yharnamit's hard at that point in the game, but not impossible
>>750611941I think theres some hints that she became vicar very recently.its like>Old Vicar left>Without a head Choir and Mensis split up>Choir appoints Amelia>Mensis starts kidnappingShes way too young to be a Vicar normally, shes probably just doing it because theres no one else left
>>750611619>But also because I do feel bad for her. She spends last moments praying in attempt to hold on to herself. It triggers my internal instincts to protect the helpless.That bitch ain't helpless, she's a drug fiend getting her fix straight from the source. All beasts are just literal drug addicts chasing the dragon of their first high.
>>750608121Yharnam Stone does nothing. It was supposed to, but it's cut content.That's usually the last thing people do for the achievos.
so does bloodborne PC work properly now? or is shadps4 still better? and what do i download to play iti've been having a strong itch to play BB again but im too lazy to undust my PS4 to play without overheating
>>750611770Deserves never mattered to me. It's in my nature. I didn't have it in me either to kill King Vendrick when I saw his husk of a corpse walking in circles. I don't like the idea of killing someone I can't help but feel pity for.>>750611818Most all of the NPCs you meet end up dying. If I can save even a single soul, then I will warp reality to do so.
>>750612563severe autism
>>750612518Lantern Engine has an option you can turn on where having it allows you to respec at the Altar of Despair which is a neat idea imo
>>750612427Yeah, her prayer is all about drinking the blood.
Wait, she's the actual leader of the church?
>>750612749yeah she's the vicar
Post the best boss theme NOWhttps://youtu.be/8LOR9JXK1Og?is=cQkwosA1_cP9P37m
>>750588543No, all the beast bosses except a couple in the chalice dungeons are massive pushovers.
>>750612563unfathomably based
How do I match the base PS4's exact visuals? AFAIK it was rendering at 1280x720 but the UI was 1080p obviously. I haven't found a solution to this problem. Why would I do this? Because I possibly can. Did it even use TAA, I don't know.
>>750612839nah you were just overleveled when you fought them
>>750612749Symbolically at least but Yurie was probably running things behind the scenes since Amelia kept herself inside the cathedral
>>750568105>snoys hype this shit up for a decade>emulators reveal that this is just yet another mediocre rollslop
>>750589323Formless Oedon IS the Moon Presence.
Why every volvo go scree raaah and den dey bite u. Wha happun if you rub big dog belly?
>>750612654Where is it?
>>750612925Wasn't it proven in data mines that Moon Presence is Oedon and Ebreitas is Kos
>>750612885I haven't gotten that far in but I still think this has the best atmosphere of all soulslikes I've played.
Forbidden Woods second half is by far the worst part of the game and one of the worst levels in a souls game
>>750613063I agree, I hate it too.
>>750612925Wrong>>750613038Ebrietas was named Kos at some point in development but they were split into separate entities later>>750613029Ingame start menu under PC Enhancements
>>750613038Don't know about all that, maybe Ebrietas was supposed to be Kos at some point in development but that obviously changed. It's just kinda obvious to me that the MP and Oedon are the same thing because only runes related to either of them are written in blood. They even get the same glow effect at higher tiers.
>>750568295Finished my Wheel run. Wish it wasn't so slow, but it is very fun to send people flying with charged R2.
>>750613063Pretty much every location past Yarham and Hemwick is either shit or so tiny you blink and it is over.
>>750568295He's cool but like all Bloodborne NPCs his actual questline is incredibly disappointing. Eileen and Simon are half decent but it's one of the weakest aspects of the game.
Why do people hate yahar'gul? I saw nothing wrong with it
>>750613241Cainhurst, Yahargul, Nightmare of Mensis and the DLC areas are all good
>>750613274>SimonIt's hilarious how he's just laying down near the bonerfire without even making a sound looking like a pile of random detritus.
>>750613329Before Rom the Snatchers do stupid damage, one shot you early.After Rom the bell women I guess.
>>750613329They got gang banged by those three hunters
>>750613274How is Simon's quest any better than Alfreds? You just talk to him a few times. At least with Alfred you give him the unopened summons. What metric are you rating them on?
>>750613241It picks back up at Yahargul but then you get to Mergo's loft and it's a wet fart with a cool boss at the end. First time I played I legitimately couldn't believe that was the final area and thought I'd missed something. For all its faults Dark Souls 3 does its final area much, much better.
>>750613379>CainhurstNo enemy save for the starting tick dudes pose a tiniest bit of threat whatsoever.
>>750586985I like the Rule of Cool as much as the next guy, but this thing's always looked ugly and unwieldy both
>>750613329>Amy laser>Respawning enemies>NPC trioI like all that but I can see why some dislike it.
>>750613423>After Rom the bell women I guess.Are players really so whiny? You can just kill the bell ladies. Wait till these people try Ailing Loran
>>750613329Boring boss, boring mobs.Only cool the first time after you get raped.
Chalice Dungeons suck for offline players.>collect all the chalice materials, some of which are limited>if you lose it or sell it by accident, you are locked out and forced to cheat it in or play offlineshit mechanic
>>750613436Simon has an actual narrative guiding you through the nightmare until he gets caught by an assassin, which you then promptly start fighting. Meanwhile Alfred just lore dumps on you and then does the fromsoft of classic of going le crazy and killing himself.
>>750613329Respawning enemies and kind of boring for what was suppose to be the main antagonist headquarters. Cathedral of the Deep did it better with a looping central hub.
Had a weird glitch happen. I loaded in to hunter's dream from the main menu and I couldn't use any of the workshops. So I quit out to the main menu and continued again. This time when I loaded in I heard Gherman's voice and he mentioned something about not being able to wait for Laurence any longer. What was that about? Don't think that ever happened on ps4.
I'm just gonna say itSimon sounds incredibly gay
>>750613329I've always liked Yahargul, don't get people hating on it either. It's a challenging level, great atmosphere that really makes it feel like the madmen got what they wanted. One Reborn is a wet fart of a boss, though.
>>750613478It makes zero sense how it's suddenly sanic fast when you use if folded where it looks just fucking retarded.
>>750613379>cainhurstI swear this was supposed to be bigger or part of a dlc
This was a good game
it'd be real cool if more npc quests existed where the npc doesnt die at the end
>>750613661Its BB's equivalent of the painted world from DaS, an optional secret level you go out of your way to find
>>750613682Then they would just sit on their asses and go ehuehueheuh... because From babi.
>>750613329Yahar'Gul is great and you can't HATE it (not honestly) if you like Central Yharnam, because it's really just more of the same but way harder. You are maybe just hating the concept of it being to similar to what you've already seen. It's not actually "it sucks," it's just "I expected more!"
Nightmare Frontier is a lot more cancer than Forbidden Woods. Woods is only tedious if you want to get all the items for some reason. Otherwise you can zip through it pretty fast.
Beat the game. Should I try a new build or go for new game plus?
>>750613832People just don't like the long street. It gives them DS2 hallway PTSD
>>750613857True but its size is baffling. The second half has nothing worth seeing or doing and its full of the same enemy types. They could have at least snuck in an extra boss
more like bloodporn
>>750613832Yahargul is pretty linear all things considered, made worse by the face you're supposed to just run past the first half of it due to respawning enemies. The gank squad is pretty bullshit.And cramped caskets are not all that fun to fight.And you can just skip half the area with the teleport
>>750613832Endless respawning enemies in a souls game are lameIt's complete bullshit that I can't hurt any of the Amygdalas even though at least one of them reacts to being shot, I've already killed one of the bastards and want to kill more
Upper Cathedral Ward is one of the most atmospheric areas in Froms entire catalog
>>750614092The game overall is the most linear entry in the series after DS3
>>750614284It was fine for the most part but the worst design decision with the progression was locking the church workshop elevator behind the BSB. Sure you can buy the emblem to open the gate but you still need to kill BSB to get the elevator to be active and for the kidnappers to spawn. It would be ideal to have the cathedral ward as open as possible the moment you first get there since its one of the few non-linear areas in BB but instead you are railroaded to old yharnam
fucking dog and rat enemies have always been the fucking worse in souls games
>>750594578visceral damage scales with skill saw spear is certified best weapon
>>750614589Yes that is a very stupid choice. Bloodborne is nearly as linear as DS3 and the only reason it does a good job at hiding it is that half the levels are totally optional including Old Yharnam. They just put key mechanics in those levels so you're incentivized to do them. Technically you could just skip half the game if you wanted. It should've been like DS1 where Byrgenwerth was the equivalent of Anor Londo and was much larger, and you needed to kill 2 or 3 major bosses to open the gate to it. But they fucked up by making Forbidden Woods the equivalent of Sen's Fortress without any requirements besides killing Amelia
>>750610998Agree.>>750611408BASED.>>750611818>it's a little weird to obsess with NPCs with so little contentNot really, Fromsoft games always had lots of waifufagging, DS2 is the game with the most fanservice regarding female characters and makes you feel you have a home in Majula (harem included), people just expected something similar from Bloodborne i guess.>>750612563I agree with Vicar Amelia being a friendly NPC, but i think she still had to die or go crazy at some point, maybe after you kill Rom.It surely would have helped to understand more about the curse or the ongoing "Civil war" between Mensis and the Choir.Villain vs Villain is always fun, it would have added a lot of personal stakes if you had personnel from the Choir aiding you a bit or giving you more context about Mensis' fuckery.
>>750614807i think its fineBSB is a step up in difficulty and fits nice in the progression. I don't think all the games need to be the same and frankly the "kill X bosses to continue" got old with DS2, and then DS3 tripled down on it.You immediately get access to Nightmare Frontier, Cainhurst and DLC the moment you enter the forest so railroading the player towards Old Yharnam is fine, especially since it unlocks chalices too.Central Yharnam was open, Cathedral ward can be done out of order if you shell out and starting from the forest you get multiple options again. Not even counting Hemwick
>>750614807The thing is that Dark Souls had a lot more levels/bosses to spare hence why it also did the four lord souls requirement as the second half. For BB, they probably could have gotten away with having the BSB and Witch as mandatory bosses for Amelia much like the Gargoyles and Quelaag did for Sen but afterwards there aren't many bosses that could be made mandatory without compromising on the amount of optional levels
>>750614284I haven't played Sekiro since I sold my PS4 but I remember it having more sequence breaking and being generally less linear than both Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3.
Wtf, I just learned what blood gems are (after beating all base bosses + Ludwig). I've played the game wrong, it should've been much easier
>>750615814it's more fun that way
>>750614664Bloodborne's dogs are by far the most obnoxious in the franchise and I include the giant ones in caelid in thatThe Keeper as a trash mob patrols with two and each one of them is individually more dangerous than the Keeper even as a boss because the niggers have poise
>2026>still defending blood vials as a mechanicLiterally only exists to make the game 3-6 hours longer depending on how shit you are
>>750615570Anyone else find everything in BB and Dark Souls 3 is tremendously easy after going through Elden Ring? I hate the boss design in that game where everyone has some special snowflake magic power and infinite combos with 10 different delay timings but it did force me to git gud.
too much botox?
>>750615570i appreciate you excluding the dlcneat diagram
>>750615929Nah the teleporting dogs in DS3 are way more cancerous.
>>750615570I-is that..!? LINEARITY? AAHHHHH NIGGERMAN SAVE ME I'M LOSING MY MIIIIIND
>>750615965they are a necessary evil to keep blood bullets in checkcan't just let you have 20 estus flasks for free bullets/parries now can we?
>>750615069agreed. Its obvious that they put the gate there to prevent players from bum rushing amelia as soon as they finished central yharnam and it present an interesting decision for players. Do they go the long way around to unlock the gate or cough up a hefty amount of echoes but still get locked out of some weapons/items?
>>750572478>>750568105Where does a dumbass like me get all the shit needed to run this?
>>750615965>3-6 hours longerIf you're not bad you never have to worry about it.If you're bad you can visit cum chalice once and never think of it ever again.
>>750615994BB wasn't trivial for me by any means but overall yes (haven't played 3 in years cause it was shit)I feel like a lot of Orphan's reputation for difficulty comes from how brutal his roll-catches and delays are and after ER those are a lot less intimidating. Nothing is as cheesy as Margit's faggot double dagger slash.My most deaths were to Ebrietas (probs like 2-3x that of other bosses) because I didn't and still don't know how to reliably dodge the charge. A lot of bosses have some kind of attack like that but even Ludwig's has a much clearer tell and forgiving hitbox despite also probably instakilling you if you fuck up the dodge like Ebrietas'.>>750616318Fitgirl repack for the game files then look up awakenchan on github
>>750614810Imagine being able to actually join church/mensis/cainhurst/powder gangers (Djura)/byrgenworth and it actually had impact on the story and ending. That would be so rad.
>>750616445There's no other option other than fitgril?
>>750616445yeah that fucking charge only way I've reliably "dodged" is being very ungreedy and immediately running far away in case she might do itthere is that video of that dude who killed her with a torch who just calmly walks through a blind spot in her wings but I've never tested that out
>>750616594>a dumbass like meNo.
>>750616594Steamrip
Aww she's smiling
>>750615994Yeah, DS3 even more so I think because I haven't died in DS3 in a while but in my recent BB playthrough I mostly got killed trying to parry everything without remembering the timings. I think the best lesson Elden Ring teaches you is how to exploit literally any opportunity window because you simply don't get too many in there - which, translated to older games, means you can dish out damage so fast while staying on target and knowing when to trade hits, that most bosses simply fold before you run out of healing.
>>750616937I'm gonna cum in that dog
>>750617167She wouldn't even notice.
>>750614705I think its moveset is jank and actively works against you. Your tricked R1 stops in front of you so you fail to crowd control enemies on your left flank. And your charged R2 trading the stab for a slam is unbecoming
>>750615994after gay radahn everything looks like asylum demon in comparison
Why do trannies love this game so much? Is it because they can relate to the eldritch monsters?
>kirkhammer swings long enough to bonk amygdala in the headlove this thing
I thought I didn't need the L3 jump mod but then there were just too many situations where I'd want to roll out of a sprint. You can't do that with the vanilla jump.
>>750618367I hate to tell you this, anon, but trannies latch onto any fucking thing these days. Give someone hrt and a dress to put on, and they'll start getting more deluded into thinking that the thing they were into as a kid or right before trooning out was part of their awakening. yes, they relate to the ayys
>>750617187That's hot

dog lady hot
>>750615994ER has jump, strong block, strong remage reduction gear, guard counters, stance, a higher % parriable bosses than BB, regain after Malenia and sekiro deflect in the DLC. If you decide to rollslop you've deliberately handicapped yourself.

has anyone tried the online? does it work well?
>>750622091damn you catbox
>>750619534Church Pick and Rakuyo feel like an apology replacement for the Burial Blade and Blade of Mercy. It's even weirder for the Church Pick since it is basically a throwaway weapon with no lore, yet it is stacked with more good traits than it has any right to. Most all of its attacks are thrusting, which means it both deals the best damage type and can stack thrusting gems. Both of it's forms deal simultaneously both righteous and beasthunter damage, that later being a unique form of serrated with a far larger pool of enemies it applies the bonus too. And ontop of all of it, it's still buffable by papers. It almost feels like this weapon was gonna have more far more importance at one point.>also is the bowblade any good?It's ok. If you are running a SKL/BLT build you'll go out of way to kill Simon early for it, but that's because your build only gets four trick weapons and the Rifle Spear actively resists wanting to be apart of this group. You probably won't use it terribly much for enemy hunters and faster boss, but it starts to shine against larger bosses who don't care about your parry. As it does a good job at shooting heads and a fully charged backshot still opens the riposte.
>>750622130She's so fucking hot bros...
Where the heck do I get these mats
is it me or is the gun useless?
>>750622583Ailing Loran chalice, it has 6 of those bastards if you explore all the side areas.
Lantern Engine is like fucking magic. I'm playing 1440p not even with mods and it just werks and I'm seeing details in the environment I never even noticed before. The art direction of this game remains phenomenal. I really don't get why they never just ported this shit when the moment was right, they passed up on free money
>>750622628Its not for damage unless you specifically build for it. Otherwise you use it to parry and extend combos while your stam regens
>>750622092only on lantern engine, and yes it does work with no issues. I think the lantern one even has a seamless co-op thing
Why do arcane weapons suck balls?There's always some shitty catch.Tonitrus burns through durabilityChikage buff eats youKos parasite is especially disappointing, thought I'd get to fling sharpened placenta around like a weighted kusarigama and no its lame tentacle poke.At least the wheel is cool.
>>750568105whatever feels right. i tend to build into arcane at least a little, but i seem to overdo it most often than not.blade of mercy build are underrated

>>750624536the better wikis are always never on top. the wikidots for demons, ds1, and kind of ds2 are like this as well.
>>750601420Orphan has multiple charged backstab openings so long as you manage to stay near him. Laurence is a mega faggot
>>750613329They put thousands of hours handmaking the absolute slog that is Forbidden Forest but Yar-Hargul, which should have been one of the story climaxes, is tiny by comparison. There's almost nothing for you to see there.Every section where you're walking at street level and/or through buildings should have been 2 or 3 times longer. I wanted to hunt beasts in early game for longer.

>>750625790I don't think Gehrman or the player made the doll real. There was a few lore theorists that speculated that the Moon Presence did that.
>>750625656>are we becoming madder and madder as we fall down the rabbit hole or worse, saner?A bit of both. Insight is just a semi diegetic way to convey that the player hunter is learning more about the world being as they're a foreigner and all. The random beast hunters roaming around the game probably have like 10 insight relatively speaking, but since they're mostly low level mooks, they never hunt long enough to uncover all the secrets, or they just don't care to/are aware.

My name is Adolf Netanyahu Hitler and Nightmare Frontier is my favorite area in Bloodborne.

How can a giant demon dog be so feminine?
>>750625790>>750625856Gehrman had a one-sided crush on Maria and created the Doll. It's heavily implied one of the reasons he became the Dream's steward in the first place was because the Moon Presence could let his Doll live there, but you can tell from the way he talks about her that it was a backhanded reward because the Doll is nothing like Maria beyond her appearanceWhether this was before or after Maria killed herself isn't too clear but probably after since they were peers and the Fishing Hamlet incident happened a long time agoEither way it's one reason Gehrman fucking hates being in the Dream
>>750628130She manifested as a bitch in heat after the years of celibacy forced upon her by the healing church.
>>750627971yeah that checks out
>>750628316Also while typing this I realized the Doll's personality implies one of two things>Gehrman just wanted a version of Maria that reciprocates his affection, but MP went way too far and made her completely docile >her demure and subservient attitude is how the MP thinks humans should be, complete with her praying to it at one point, and Gehrman had no input in the matter
Be sure to pet your Vicar and rub her belly and scratch behind her ears.
Imagine the smell.
>>750628560>Gehrmen is starts the game as a bitter man in a wheelchair kept company by a doll he hates.>The player ends the game as a jolly man in a wheelchair kept company by a doll he loves.One man's trash is another man's treasure.
