I found the difficulty of Bloodborne's levels on a par with the Souls games, but the bosses were significantly easier. DS 2's dlc is the hardest content I've seen in any of the games.

Yes.

Nah, I started yesterday and I'm already done with it minus just logging in for bonuses. I love grindy games, but if ever there was a dubious alliance of game design it'd be limited energy + frenetic grinding.

Same here. And by close proximity, I mean the same day. And by the same day, I mean tomorrow.

Scholar of the Lost Sin! Only like 4 of us posting in that thread

This DLC doesn't fuck around. Lost around 50k souls so far. Should probably come back later

I'm pretty please with my Rosetta, Oracle or not. Although I guess she's more added dps.

Ahh, cool. Thanks. Just farming the first few I've cleared for now. I have the partial ingredients for a lot of spells so I might as well work on those.

Yeah, it's crazy. Still in need of any sort of progress guidance, but I thought of a specific question as well: What's the significance of a highlighted blue border around abilities and gear I see when starting a level? Does that mean the dungeon I'm about to enter has upgrades for that...

Started this today, pretty fun. What should be my priorities? Someone mentioned that it should be possible to clear Seph dungeon before it expires even now, but I don't think I want to rush anything. Also, what the hell is up with the terribly choppy scrolling through menus? I'm on a Galaxy S6!

Druid from EQ. Always my favorite class, but one of the few that got cooler as the game progressed to its current stage. All MMOs seem to have a class that can both heal and dps, but druids have single spells that do both!

I wanted a Kira. Got anima Esna though

As with the original, you'll need a fragrant branch. There's an estus shard behind that particular statue - and a handful of basilisks. I had to work up courage to go in there because those things truly scare me for some reason. I dunno if it's the eyes or some Pavlovian reaction to curse from...

B team or not, this is my favorite in the series and IMO the best game of all time. As for the series as a whole - I think it's pretty telling that when somebody praises a visionary at the helm of a fucking video game and several people - consider this my response - not only echo the...

Forgot how much I hate the Gutter. Then Black Gulch...

Bellbros is soooo active. 3 back to back summons. Longest I've waited is 5 min

Sorry for replying twice to the same quote - I think you can drop through a window on the other side of the building in lieu of using a branch. I'd forgotten about it though and used mine. Iirc that 5-soldier rush is hard to deal with using that shortcut though.

It's an estus shard. I'm using my branches as I get them. If it turns out I was supposed to be stingy, I'm fucked =p

So how far has everybody gotten? Just beat the Ruin Sentinels (first try! - died more to them than any other boss in vanilla). Playing slow as fuck, though

Those motherfuckers fucked with my fucking Ring on Binding!

Never exactly been a turtler, but I was a fairly avid shield user in vanilla DkSII. After Bloodborne, I appear to have forgotten I even have a shield.

Yeah I might switch to spells if the durability continues to annoy me as much as it currently does. Looks like XbOne master race here with its 37fps or whatever

Yeah that ogre is a cunt. I don't yet have a weapon that'll remain intact long enough to kill him!

Alright, I definitely think the durability bug breaks the game early on. I've broken TWO weapons so far and I'm not even to the first forest bonfire. I'm having to avoid any non-mandatory encounter for fear of breaking another weapon. This is temporarily game-breaking, but it'll eventually...

As long as you can still get 3 Umbilicals, you're good.

The influence this series exerts over me is starting to bother me. Past few days all I've been able to think about it being able to spend $60 on a game I've already beaten. Haven't been this excited about a game in years, and it's a goddamn re-release.

The game is amazing, but I hope that what comes after is another Souls game. The Victorian setting would have bee a standout in any other game, but the world of the Souls games had - I really struggle to put words to it - a sort of cruel beauty and brutish serenity to them that I find matchless...

My list, same order. Blank line partition represents a divide - the bosses before it didn't cause much of an issue; those immediately after killed me several times, and Logarius killed me still more. Haven't fought last two bosses yet. Thus far the bosses have fallen in line with Demon's Souls...

I second the rec. I made a short post about it on the What Did you Just Read thread. Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in non-fiction here though.

I think I somehow glitched her out. I stood behind her and she did quite literally nothing for almost the entire fight. I've beaten all but two bosses and Logarius was by far the hardest for me .

Cannot wait for this. Pretty sure I'm in the minority, but I think DS2 is the best in the series and it's probably my favorite game of all time. DS1 remains unparalleled in its world's brutish elegance and contiguity, but some of the areas aren't merely difficult (or in some cases not difficult...

Err, anybody else think Celestial Emissary was even easier than Witch? Good God that might've been the most authoritative wrecking I've ever given a Souls boss.

PSN Balzmir

Pretty glad Amygdala was a pushover - just about shit my pants when I was confronted with a boss with like 4 vials left.

Am I the only one who evidently fucked something up and don't get offered the option of sending anyone anywhere...ever?

Levels seem to be more meaningful than they were in the Souls games. Pretty sure I notice the defense increase if I level a few times.

Ran into my first true wall - Paarl. Best I've done is get him down to about half. He's only like my 6th boss, so I'll go beat some easier ones.

Also, anyone care to go ahead and spoil Insight logistics for me? Thus far it's been unreplenishable and aside from buying out the Insight Store the first time I got 10, I haven't used any of it. Should I continue to be really judicious with it? Pissed me off to no end when that fucking Insight...

Think I'm converging on a more traditional path. Early on I took a left on the massive staircase into Hemwick before traversing the staircase in its entirety. Was wondering why I was getting raped there - the very obviously continuing andfucking massivestaircase was probably where I was supposed...

When I'm not playing this game I can't stop thinking about this game. I'm actually consciously slowing my progression because I don't want it to be over. It's been mentioned - above and elsewhere - that this game probably won't warrant the long-term investment via NG+ that the Souls games did...
