nightmare creatures, an early PSX game

[GwyndolinCinder]

They wouldn't even be able to say something simple like patch notes?

Not even allowed to say you have a review copy

Yes, one of the best Kalisto games

Not even allowed to say you have a review copy

That's strict, but easier to have a blanket NDA than having to decide what reviewers can disclose (even though I've seen some reviewers on gaf mention they have a copy...).

Are you waiting for reviews or for some other reason? The positive press impressions and developer precedent are good enough for me. An arbitrary number shouldn't make or break a game purchase.

impressions from gaf and co.

dark souls 2 had got impressions and review and I didn't like it.

He's a troll. He's posted something like this is the press preview thread too.

why does that make me a troll?

I just don't buy day 1 anymore.

Yeah, that makes no sense. Best way to play through a souls game is when all of the community is still discovering things.

I'm not going to wait months to buy it.
but I wanted to play it at least 2 times, before checking if I found everything.

ok, where the fuck are the patch notes?
i'm so thirsty

me too man

hold me until we get those patch impressions

 

[graybot]

Wow, so many of you seem to have review copies. I'm feeling like the odd one out

Do you all work for big gaming websites or are review copies also sent out to smaller sites/publications too?

Comparing DS2 to Bloodborne is apples and oranges man. If you loved DS1, you should enjoy this one as well. DS2 left a sour taste in our mouths but we all know the reason for that (B-team). I enjoyed DS2 but its no DS1 or DeS for that matter. Not even close.

 

[Primethius]

All this hype for patch notes and we all know it's going to lead to disappointment.

The day I beg for better loading screens...

Different developers. The writing was on the wall for DSII by this time in it's release. By all accounts if you liked Demon's Souls and Dark Souls you should like this game. The hype for this game is insane on gaf, I think you already know what the impressions from the majority of gaffers will be.

Not trying to convince you to buy it Day 1, but I think the reasoning is a little weird considering we know a lot about the game already.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

If this was pre-nerf GAF, we'd have the |OT| ready to go by now I miss the hype in those threads.

Yea man, just like the Demon's Souls thread. This is why the spoiler thread is so popular. No OT, a crying shame.

Soon enough...

 

[piccio_ssl]

i'm here

 

[--R]

This is now the OT, only with a different name.

In other news, I really hope the title for the OT is:

Bloodborne |OT| Welcome home, good hunter.

Review copies go out sometimes randomly and it's not a science. I do know from others that Sony doesn't even want people stating they got review copies on social media, forums, etc so if your a reviewer and posting that, careful. I don't know how big Sony is at coming at folks that go against the grain. Also no, I am not reviewing the game I just know from other information people have discussed with me in private.

 

[CrackaF3tt]

So is the strategy guide coming out on release date? My order on amazon says they need more time to estimate when.

This is what we've come to. People getting hyped for patch notes.

Bloodborne Review. This game is BRUTAL!

omg I have been waiting for this since the 1886 review!

It did not disappoint. Hilarious.

Whenever I get that message, they usually update it to be release date. Not always, but usually.

 

[bananafactory]

It's time to give up guys

We aren't getting patch notes....the gods have forsaken us..

 

[Darth_Caedus]

I really have no idea what build I'm going to use....I'm having a hard time understanding how distinct builds will work in this game. I guess I'll just see as I go.

 

[RK9039]

Yeah I have no idea what some of the newer stats are in this game. I'll be going with strength as usual, and hopefully weapon buffs.

ok, where the fuck are the patch notes?
i'm so thirsty

 

[bananafactory]

Do you guys all plan out your builds?

I just play the games and upgrade the stats I want to as I go...don't really put much thought into it ahead of time

It would be helpful if I knew which weapon I want to use. Right now it's between the kirkhammer, scythe, and

stake driver

. When I figure it out, I'll make sure I meet the requirements and then focus on increasing the relevant scaling stats.

Oh damn, I don't look up anything like weapons or items. I just make decisions on the fly based on whatever I find. I wonder if it would be easier consulting a guide

I just want to be sure.
maybe I don't like the difference in gameplay.

no shield, a little bit faster and so on.

I got time.
doesn't matter if I wait 7 or 8 days.
or 9, or 10.

don't even know, if I can get my buddys PS4 next week already.
he borrowed far cry 4 and even the order took him almost 2 weeks to beat. -_-

The wikia has stat requirements and scaling info for a handful of weapons. Though I'm also getting the guide, not so much for strategies (until I complete the game, or individual areas at least) but more for gear and mechanics info.

Same. Its always on the fly and i find it to be much more fun that way.

why is the one weapon in spoilers, but the other 2 aren't?

of course it would.
but not as interesting too.

 

[HIR0]

Some dude has been going ham in the reddit mega thread with updates.

So what did i do in those 8 glorious, bloody, and really heart pounding hrs. I had absolute fun with the game, even when the game was kicking my teeth down my throat. Guys if you think that this game is going to be easy then you are gonna be in for a surprise. The fact is that its hard in its own way. Enemies are faster, come in bigger mobs, are placed so cleverly that most of the time you will be ambushed and outnumbered, and will be in a situation where its hard to run to a safe location to heal. Although healing is fast and you can find plenty of blood vials, I feel that it's just a short reprieve before the tension climbs back up to the max

 

[Primethius]

I don't even know what all the stats do yet. I'll probably end up remaking my character 3-4 times before I settle on a build.

I'm planning on playing the game using axes only, so I'm only gonna level up strength, endurance and vitality. My one hope for the game is that it has multiple axe weapons... I can't be stuck with the Hunter's Axe for the whole game!
