Hopefully the patch fixed the awful load times I keep hearing about.

It didn't. Well, im not sure how bad they were before but expect to wait 15-20 seconds every time you die while it loads. Gets annoying after getting creamed by a boss for the 5th time.

Regarding getting the stake driver the guy you fight that has it wrecked the poo poo out of me probably 5 times with it before I beat him. You don't get the weapon from him, just unlock the ability to purchase it. Probably havent seen anyone using it since it's decently expensive for where you are in the game at that point.

I love that guy, he's such a shithead in exactly the way a player-hunter would be. Forces you up to his arena which is small and favors the poo poo out of his weapon choice.

Is this thing gonna be a system seller?

I haven't had a compelling reason to buy a PS4 yet, what are the chances Bloodborne is a disappointment in any way? If its at all on par with the other Souls games I'm willing to buy a console for it, but I haven't seen any reviews yet.

I think so. The game is just loving ridiculously good. Beat my expectations.

I admit I dodged right off the top of his tower twice, once when I had him down to ~20%. That loving shotgun of his made me rage so hard, trying to get a heal off. Was a super fun fight though, that and the guy just below his tower as well

So every stream I see of the game has people attacking NPC's right out the gate as soon as they meet them. Is there a reason for this because it seems kinda silly.

The fight is completely optional. If you are wearing the black church garb he'll chat you up instead and give you his badge.

Game is good but I didn't remember load times being that bad in DS...Hopefully it is something that can be fixed in a patch.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the one that enables online, which isn't out until tomorrow. We'd be hearing a lot more about the online features otherwise.

I guess that's the price we pay for nicer graphics, and a mediocre hard drive in the PS4, not sure there is anything they can do with a patch to be fair.

Let's face it, Bloodborne is going to be a drat good game. A drat good game that I need to get used to. I've played Demon/Dark SOuls, but this is a whole new level. I need to get my feel, my taste, for Bloodborne.

Does anyone know if there's a respec item similar to Soul Vessels? It'd be nice not having to reroll my character because I went in completely blind.

Also, how viable is dex... Well I guess "skill"? I only know of the threaded cane and generally I play using the Uchigatana.
