I will be doing my own run showing off things Travis missed or what-have-you, at the very least. I'm waiting for the maintenance on the 23rd, which I expect will be the load-fixing patch.

Thanks so much. I'm really digging that game so far.

It looks so drat good, drat them for not making it cross platform :argh:

Travis takes a shot at Father Gascoigne and getting revenge on that pig in the sewers.

Chew on that... you overgrown son of a bitch.

Oh. Never knew the pig had poison breath. You should fight it one more time; try sneaking up on it.

alternately, going through the sewers lets you bypass the flaming boulder on the bridge. So you face the pig to avoid the mob.

I guess the flaming boulder on the bridge is this game's equivalent to the Souls' series "dragon roasting you on a bridge" thing?

No, you misunderstand. They should fight the pig again and sneak up on it. Maybe they can try pulling off a vicious attack?

Nah, the flaming boulder is the game's equivalent to that dude who's standing at the top of the stairs in the Burg with the flaming barrel, complete with sometimes killing himself with his own trap.

The vicious attack on the pig is even more incredible than the backstab on the armored boars in Dark Souls. If only because you just shove the werewolf hand right up in there instead of using your weapon like you do in Dark Souls.

I sold at least one copy of Bloodborne with a minute long video using a flashy weapon and the rear visceral attack on a pig.

Why get a candid reaction when you can just go straight for the "If you do X, Y Will happen!" Makes it better IMO.

Travis learns the ins and outs of fighting Father Gascoigne. Supposedly.

Next update will be threefold: one part of Travis' run, the first part of my side run, and the stream I did with Thud Dishsoap.

"Me and Thorn are two different people, we've gone much farther in this game than last time. So the experience will be quite different, I hope." *Dies to a basic enemy*

So far the experience appears to be about the same actually :v:

Here's a Bloodborne overdose for y'all. 7-1 is the next part of Travis' Icabod playthrough, 7-2 is my side run showing things he missed or did differently, and 7-3 is a stream I did a while back that ended up being a crack-up thanks to audience interaction.

I'm pretty sure friend blob is one of those legless crawling guys in the sewer area in front of the pig tunnel, except friend blob has cunningly disguised himself with a shawl.

Step into Old Yharnam, what do you see? A running pile of skulls and poison monkey people. And a hazard we never thought we'd see in one of these games.

The little skull monsters that are pretty much this game's Crystal Lizards are much, much easier to kill than the mentioned Lizards, since they move much slower and don't vanish to quickly.

^^^I always see it as popping a big sticky clot that's still moist in the centre.




I really wish this game had a better system for classifying blood.

Blood(3) always makes it seem like you've just picked up three vials of blood, not a single vial of level three blood. They should have gone with good old Roman Numerals to make it clearer.

Or maybe it's me only who gets all :goonsay: about that.


EDIT: Here we go, this is what I mean:




Why not have it as "Thick Coldblood (IV)"

It's MISSEL! Or SISSLE!
I confused myself...



The reason the red-eyed monsters have poison damage is the same reason they have those red eyes: The loud screaming version of the cloth covered guy aggros and powers the regular guys up when they scream like that. It makes this area a pain to go through the path down to ground level instead of using the rafters, because you get mobbed by little hairy Gollums that do more damage and proc poison.

You two make a good combo, the banter's nice. Liking the ambience of this game too, I feel it pulls off the creepy/scary vibes quite well when compared to the souls games. It has a touch more urgency to it.

At least you have a reason to use the torch after 3 Souls games of it being worthless.
