Bloodborne

Ok so I beat Rom after a couple attempts, and headed to Nightmare Frontier to wade around in poison lakes all day (fun!). Is it just me, or is there a period (right after Father G) where the game feels like it opens up quite a bit, only to close off a ton shortly after? Unless I'm missing something very obvious, which is entirely possible, I think aside from DLC, Nightmare Frontier is the only thing I have available to do? But I don't feel like I'm maybe a bit more than halfway through the game.

Dunno, loving the game, but the world progression feels a lot different from Souls. Much less open feeling to progression in general.


-edit- Oh also, to add, nobody ever answered anything about chalice dungeons. Wtf purpose do these serve? Completely optional fuck-around areas, or is there something necessary with regard to them?

I started playing Bloodbourne casually about two weeks ago. I both love and hate this game. The art and style is glorious but the game can be insanely frustrating. I have currently beat the Cleric Beast, Father Gascion, and The Blood Starved Beast. Djura is kicking my ass and I really hate the Bagmen. Also the Saw Cleaver is awesome but I just upgraded to Ludwig's Holy Blade. Buddies are telling me that is way better so forcing myself to get used to it. It does make the larger creatures easier to deal with since you have more range. Ran into Paarl once and Amelia both kicked my butt . Currently working on leveling up a bit before I go try them again.

I think a big part of the problem is I have really not played much on a console since the original Xbox/PS2. I also don't really play these action games so it took me a while.

As for Djura ill try shooting him off but my pistol doesn't seem to have much knock back, Ludwig's does though!

I love how much damage the fast attacks of the Saw Cleaver does but I am coming around to Ludwig's.

He basically suicided trying to avoid me but he's dead. Got the Keg Hunter badge.

Is Ludwig's gun or Stake driver any good? I'm still using the starting pistol.

Killed the Charnel Witch too!

Died like 10 times on Paarl with my +6 Ludwig's. Switch to +4 Saw Cleaver first shot kill. Was pretty annoying haha.

I do plan to at least try and kill everything that I happen to find anyway. I will keep my eyes open for Castle Cainhurst. Thanks Kurrin.
