Never played a Souls game so not sure what I maybe getting myself into. I did just start playing Lords of the Fallen for xb1 that I got during that sales mistake for $9 or whatever and im definitely liking it but I do find it somewhat difficult.

This game looks awesome from what I've seen but not sure if id get super frustrated and just rage quit haha

Get it. It's difficult but fair. You'll find plenty of help on the forums and I'm sure plenty of people willing to help out co-op wise if you need it. The quality of these games is such that you'll forget that Lords of the Fallen even exists.

It comes down to managing expectations. You won't beat this game in a week. Might not even beat it in a month. Go into it knowing that you're settling in for the long haul.

Don't be disappointed if you play for several hours and only make a little bit of progress. Remember, long haul.

One of the best traits of the Souls games is the immense sense of satisfaction they reward you with. PERSEVERE!

Just discovered that the gifs playback a touch slower on Firefox as opposed to chrome, but it does load much quicker.

You will at least know the controls and some of the mechanics from LOTF...that's half the battle. Just take yor time , bait enemy attacks, and punish their attack trecovery animation.

Playing Demon Soul again to prepare to for BB. Dang this game is tough but ultimately very rewarding.

Do you guys think Bloodborne will be more like Demon Souls or Dark Souls?

Seems like they're trying to mix the community's favorite aspects of each game into Bloodborne. So you have your separate HUB, the level up waifu, but there aren't individual levels, the dungeons are all part of an interconnected world as it is in Dark Souls.

In my opinion, that makes it more like Dark Souls than Demon's Souls, if I have to choose between those two options.

Have you been living under the rock? Since the first day various media and even From said it's a successor to Demons.

I should finish platinuming Dark Souls before this comes out. Put it off for a while because Priscilla's tail was pissing me off.

Doh! I waited too long and now the CE is sold out at Best Buy. I wonder what my chances of it coming back in stock are.

Alright I'm gonna pop this sucker in. I hope I don't quit like last time....Bloodborne's gameplay just appeals to so much more but I'll see what happens.

In lotf they give most enemies a shield and no way to hit them from behind. I resorted to beating the whole game spamming one special move. Not much fun in comparison. Souls games do not resort to such cheap tactics. If you even remotely like lotf you will love bloodborne.

From the drive-by trolls thread

"My wife got me a PSP for Christmas"

"Break up with your wife and get a DS!"
------------

"My friend just got Destiny, any advice to how to start?"

"You can start by returning the game, Destiny sucked donkey balls"

----------

"Lets talk about Creep shots why are they terrible"
*Jack Nicholson nodding gif*

This are the notable examples I've seen so far.

It's a simple question I'm asking because I never got the chance to play dark souls 1 & 2 but played I Demon Souls. No need to be jerk

I guess I found another notable example of drive-by here!

I'm on NG+ on LOTF this time trying to play more of a Bloodborne type style meaning I'm being more aggressive and less hiding behind a shield. Keep playing LOTF because the combat is similar but way better in the souls games. The bosses are a little tricky if you're not used to that kind of combat but like every game there is a trick to it and part of that is dying while learning their pattern. There where bosses on Dark souls that just kicked my ass over and over. The next time around i faced on NG+ it was so rewarding to punish those bastards because now I knew what to expect. For me thats a big part of the fun in these games.
 
I love you neogif but my browser isn't taking this well.

Will be nice to go into this not knowing too much. I've been watching trailers and enjoying these gifs but compared to DSII I'm going into bloodborne practically blind. I used to watch every video by every souls youtuber in my anticipation for DSII, but now I'm just kind of skimming threads a bit. Well done me

Easy way is this:
summon someone and have them cut her tail with their first attack before she's aggro'ed.

Now platinuming Demon's is so much worse. I had a pure Bladestone drop on my EU version, but on my USA version I've tried at least 50 times. And I've never successfully killed the crystal lizards that drop the pure darkmoonstone either. Stuck at 95% forever on that one.
