Yeah I think LASERTAG is better as well, and it seems like the majority of people that have spoken up are leaning in that direction.

Less than 12 hours now, guys.

Keep in mind that you set your Watchword in your online settings of Bloodborne, not at an NPC in-game or anything weird like that.

Love that the OP got probated for a week.

So to invade/be invaded/co-op for this game, I'm gonna need PS+? I haven't bought into it since I haven't had any online games for the PS4 yet.

I've never been one for the online-gaming-industrial-complex's capitalistic greed grab system of "gently caress you, you have to pay 2 play bitch", but with that being said, I think PSN is the best online gaming service I've ever used. You get 3 free games every month, plus themes, and other goodies. It is well worth the cost so :getin:

You can pick who you want to co-op with now. This has been a requested feature since Demon's Souls and we finally get it.

I don't exactly know where it is but there are a few webms floating around of an enemy hunter that uses the Stake Driver against you, the fights usually dont last long cuz he loving wrecks whoever's playing but they seem to show off the available moveset pretty well

This guy was easily the hardest enemy/boss I'd faced up to that point. The only way I was able to beat him was by charging him immediately and just knocking his rear end off the building.

Really wish I knew that he'd talk to you if you had the right clothes. The thing he says when he kills you was interesting from a story perspective.

Are you locked to just people with the passcode, or does it let others come in if there's nobody around with that watchword? Be a pain having to enter it and take it out if there's no hits.

You could play with certain people in Dark Souls 2 using the name ring. It works like that only there's more than just 10 options. You still ring the bell but you can pick a password for your friends or you can use the goon password to kinda play on a "goon server" with only other goons.

I'm not sure, but I expect it'll work like the name-engraved ring in that you'll be locked to people with just that passcode. But it should be pretty easy to change from the menu?

Nobody knows for sure because online isn't available yet.

This game rips and is pretty much all the best parts of all the Souls games with very few of the bad parts.

The only real problem I have with it is that there isn't a warp feature between lamps, like DS II. This wouldn't be a problem if the load times were fast. It just sucks having to go back to the Dream to quick travel anywhere.

If you're talking about the 10 vs 12 est thing, it's because Sony sent out confusing emails saying it would launch earlier than it is.

Do you think some amount of investment in Bloodtinge is going to be basically mandatory (since guns are the new way we "parry" and good guns probably have Bloodtinge requirements)? I'm screwing around making some hypothetical builds and a quality/Arcane build seems pretty possible, but I'd have to basically leave Bloodtinge untouched.

Skill/Bloodtinge is probably going to be a really fun build, too, what with the Reiterpallasch and the katana and all the guns.

I'm honestly surprised it's not an NPC or something. In Dark Souls 2 you had to buy a ring and select which god to receive favor from.

Then there is the whole PSN pricing mentality where you should expect to pay $20-$30 more per game because nothing ever goes on sale

No longer applies to PSN, sales are common and often Steam-like, sometimes even better. It's just that big publishers don't often want to partake + physical retailers lose their poo poo.

I'm in the UK and gently caress waiting until friday. I now have an address in Dayton, OH, an american psn account, and Bloodborne in my download list. Surprised at just how easy it is to make a US account and buy stuff off the store. Saves me a bit of money too!

Presumably there are downsides to using a US account on a UK PS4. I assume DLC will have to be bought on the US account, anything else I should be aware of?

It's only mandatory if you want to use guns. There are two-handed weapons and shields of some kind exist.

Even then it isn't mandatory. If all you care about is the parrying aspect your default blunderbuss/pistol can do the job.

So on the subject of quality builds/being able to try out all the weapons, on the wikis it looks like the highest requirement for any weapon for skill is 14 and for strength is 20... except for the cannon which requires 30 str. So unless they've drastically lowered the level caps/the amount of blood it takes to level, trying out all the weapons is a good possibility even for the first playthrough :)
