07.19.15 | List is just stuff I've been listening to recently, taking a break from metal for the most part |
elcrawfodor
07.19.15 | Also since PS4 has Spotify now any music rec's that would fit the atmosphere while grinding away Blood Echoes would be appreciated |
Mongi123
07.19.15 | One my first playthrough right now! Just beat vicar amelia. Amazing game and beautifully Gothic atmosphere, but HARD AS FUCK. Omg I must have died like 30 times to the blood starved beast alone haha |
elcrawfodor
07.19.15 | Is that the one in Old Yharnam? Honestly I just gave up on that area for now because of that damn hunter and his machine gun |
Space Jester
07.19.15 | I love DS1 and am gonna start DS2 soon but have no way to play Bloodborne atm :( |
Mongi123
07.19.15 | Yea I beat those two guys also. And a couple more hunters. Little tip for the blood starved beast. It took me a while to realize that he literally only attacks in his front, but not his sides or back. So stay back, be patient and most importantly, DON'T GET COCKY. I've made that mistake plenty of times with simple enemies. I'm yea take it motherfucker! And then he rapes me in three hits :/ so yea you get the point lol |
elcrawfodor
07.20.15 | Oh God you're so right about that. It's so easy to misjudge how much health an enemy has left and you just go like "Hmmmmm I can just rush in and spam R1 right?" No. No you can't. I'm finally starting to get the hang of timing my visceral attacks though which is really helping with the troll-esque enemies |
Mongi123
07.20.15 | I don't even know how to visceral attack, but I've gotten by. Honestly, the beast and the father guy in the graveyard gave me the most trouble. The hunters aren't really too hard honestly. But man this game has given me so many heartattacks. vicar amelia is a breeze if you keep you distance. Idk if you fought her yet or not. |
elcrawfodor
07.20.15 | Yeah she's the only boss I beat on my first try, just randomly started throwing Molotov Cocktails at her and turned out she's weak against fire :D |
Space Jester
07.20.15 | Ya the souls series is notorious for punishing overconfidence. The second you start getting cocky is the second you get put back in your place.
Fighting Ornstein and Smough in DS1 was hell. |
Mongi123
07.20.15 | I died a couple times to her but you gotta learn her attacks. That goes for every boss and enemy too. Most of my money goes into blood vials and Molotovs which I rarely use or even forget I have sooo blood vials mostly. |
Drummerboy123
07.20.15 | Proud platinum trophy owner. Game is hard as balls in certain parts. That daughter of the cosmos boss took me like 5 hours to beat haha. Oh and fighting Amygdala in the chalice dungeons...I don't even want to think about it. One shot death with a boss that takes like a good half an hour to take down. |
Mongi123
07.20.15 | I'm not used to games this hard, so it took some adjusting but I'm completely engrossed now. It's such a well done game. |
Drummerboy123
07.20.15 | Completely agree. I came extremely close to sending it back after the first few hours or so but eventually I pushed on through and it's definitely one of my fave games of recent memory. Brilliant world and game design. Bit of advice, tap R2 and and flick up on the left analogue stick for a jump attack. Does a fair bit of damage and will come in handy later on. Also visceral's are tricky as hell, the timing is so narrow. |
elcrawfodor
07.20.15 | Mongi I'd really suggest practicing your visceral attacks. Either sneak up on an enemy and hold down R2 to stun it or while it's attacking you, tap L2 to fire a shot RIGHT BEFORE its attack animation finishes. Either way, it'll be stunned (you'll know if it falls on one knee) and you can walk up to it, make sure your character is practically touching the enemy, and hit R1 to finish the attack. Against a lot of the larger enemies it's the only way to quickly kill them off without wasting 5-6 Blood Vials because you suck (it's OK, we all suck at Bloodborne) |
Mongi123
07.20.15 | See I've tried doing the attacks before and they never work, so I mostly keep my distance. I've learned to not get too used to one attack. For enemies I know, I usually extend my axe and charge up my sweeping R2 attacks but for newer ones I just do the standard R1. A lot safer cause the R2 Attacks leave you pretty vulnerable. |
elcrawfodor
07.20.15 | Gotcha, honestly now that I've gotten better I feel like I can easily take on most enemies 1 on 1, throw in a mob though and it's just minutes of me throwing pebbles to draw them out individually |
bach
07.20.15 | fuck this game it's too hard |
Space Jester
07.20.15 | Some people just can't handle the pain |
Spag
07.20.15 | It's a great game, I platinumed it. :) |
Spag
07.20.15 | Just a heads up those dungeons you can do later are fucking annoying. |
elcrawfodor
07.20.15 | The Chalice Dungeons? Yeah we'll see if I bother doing them haha, main game is tough enough as it is |
Spag
07.20.15 | There's one Chalice Dungeon that spawns you with like 33 percent health, it is frustrating as hell. |
Flugmorph
07.20.15 | only played dark souls so far. i felt these dark souls feels, oh man, so good |
Space Jester
07.20.15 | Me too ^^^ but it's one of my favorite games ever |
Mongi123
07.21.15 | Fuck, I am so stuck on the three Shadow guys in the bog right now |
elcrawfodor
07.21.15 | I got through them today without much trouble but I may have been overleveled, spent some time grinding and also went through Charnel Lane first. What's your level/stats looking like? |
Mongi123
07.21.15 | Umm I think I'm 49? I'm gonna grind a bit tomorrow. |
elcrawfodor
07.21.15 | Oh you're not far behind me then, I'm a few areas ahead of you and I'm at 59. Have you been fortifying your weapons at Hunter's Dream? They get ridiculously more powerful if you haven't. I used the Cleaver up til that point if it matters |
Mongi123
07.21.15 | Yea I've been fortifying them. The problem with this boss is that I have no idea which one I should focus on first. All three are fucking ridiculous in their own way haha. Plus they mutate if you're not fast enough. |
Muppelope
07.21.15 | I played the hell out of this game when it came out, but then finals week happened and I put it on the backburner for awhile. I started playing again recently this summer and just beat Micolash. I think I'm like lvl 90 or so. Fantastic game, can't believe I waited so long to play one of the souls games. |
elcrawfodor
07.21.15 | I did it in one take so let me try to remember...only two of them used fire, correct? One shooting flaming projectiles, one with giant flaming weapon, other guy with smaller melee weapon? I tackled the guy with the smaller melee weapon first, no particular reason he just seemed easiest. Constantly sidestepped while keeping an eye on the fireball projectiles. Once he was down, I beat the crap out of the projectile guy, around then was when the giant snakes cropped up but I honestly just ignored them, they obviously can't move much so run from where they are, draw the guys out, and knock them senseless (the Cleaver's smaller form attacks fast enough that you can easily get in a few hits without them finishing an attack animation). Once projectile guy was gone, the last one was piece of cake, just roll away from the snakes. |
Muppelope
07.21.15 | Yeah I took out projectile guy first cuz he's a bitch. The giant snakes that pop up later will one shot you if you're not careful though. |
elcrawfodor
07.21.15 | I'd take out projectile guy if you can get him away from the others at the beginning, otherwise if you run up to him the other two will just hack away at you. Take out one of the melee guys first and it's a lot easier to get in at the proj dude. |
Muppelope
07.21.15 | Eh, I thought it was pretty easy to lure the other two away, the projectile guy stayed in the same spot mostly, then just rush him, get a few shots in, run away before the others catch up, and do it again. |
elcrawfodor
07.23.15 | Ugh the Unseen Village and Castle Cainwurst are both kicking my ass |
Mongi123
07.23.15 | Beat Shadow Of Yharnim omg holy shit praise the lord!!
That was the toughest boss I have ever experienced in general lol |
elcrawfodor
07.23.15 | You're really making me feel like beating it in one go was a complete fluke :/ but congrats man! Enjoy Byrgenworth ;) |
PunkMoon
07.23.15 | It's a fantastic game. Just finished Hemwick Charnel Lane, doing Old Yarnham before I give Vicar Amelia another go. |
Gyromania
07.23.15 | it's a great game. honestly - and i don't think a lot of people will agree with me here - bloodborne didn't have a lot of variety visually, as far as landscape. dark souls 2 had this in spades - so many visually striking areas in the game, and they looked distinctly like dark souls. both souls 1 and 2 were masterpieces, as well as demon's souls.
back to bloodborne though: the combat is pretty great, even if the game is tedious as fuck at times (why is there no replenishing estus system? some say it made souls too easy. if that's the case i'd rather it be 'easy,' because i feel like people confuse tediousness with challenge). also: fuck the abhorrent beast and bloodletting beast. and fuck me the multiplayer is the biggest joke i've ever seen in my life. all that aside though, bloodborne is awesome for having so much lovecraftian influence |
Mongi123
07.24.15 | Vicar Amelia is super easy as well as Rom which I only died once to. Now it's starting to be a complete bitch lol |
Royl123
07.24.15 | Yo Ima cripborne fan |
Gyromania
07.24.15 | vicar amelia is such an awesome boss, but yeah, didn't think she was too hard. rom the vacuous spider was a HUGE pain in the ass in the chalice dungeon. fought it in a really small room once |
Mongi123
07.24.15 | I was just patient and killed all of the little fucks first. I died a few times to Vicar but after you learn her attacks its pretty much a breeze. |
Gyromania
07.24.15 | i love the way she screams, and that one attack she does that tears up the ground towards you is so cool |
elcrawfodor
07.24.15 | Yeah Mongi the game's gotten way way way harder for me since I beat Rom, think I'll grind out a few levels later tonight and keep pushing. You having any luck with the Unseen Village?
Also wow you killed all the spiders during Rom that must have taken forever! I just ignored them and dodged whenever they tried to jump on me, always focused on Rom itself. |
Mongi123
07.24.15 | I just did whatever was easiest and wow it certainly was haha took me about 10-15 minutes not that long. And yea I died a couple times in the unseen village and then called it a day for today it's super hard. |
Muppelope
07.24.15 | Vicar Amelia was really though for me, but that's because I tried to beat her underleveled and literally did less damage to her than she would regenerate during the second stage of the fight. First and only time so far I've had to use a bell. |
Muppelope
07.24.15 | But somehow I beat BSB before her on my first try. Game can be weird like that, how it gives different players such different experiences. |
Mongi123
07.24.15 | I was stuck on BSB and Shadow Of Yharnim are the longest. Took me a while to figure out that BSB only attacked in the front too haha |
Gyromania
07.24.15 | lol nick you aren't supposed to kill the spiders. that's the super tedious way |
Gyromania
07.24.15 | a lot of people say bsb is the hardest boss but i've never really had a problem with it myself. shadow of yharnim was the easiest boss in the game imo (next to mergo's wet nurse). the shadows were just a reskin of a dark souls 2 boss |
Tyler.
07.24.15 | daughter of the cosmos took me almost 40 tries i counted |
Tyler.
07.24.15 | bsb took me one try lol |
Mongi123
07.24.15 | He only summons like 10 or so of them if you kill them right away before and after he disappears so he doesn't summon double the amount. It wasn't as tedious as you think plus he only disappeared twice for me. |
Tyler.
07.24.15 | agreed with whoever said multiplayer system was bad |
elcrawfodor
07.24.15 | For future reference, pairing Bloodborne with F#A# is absolutely terrifying. But it made grinding fun! |
Mongi123
07.24.15 | Jamming Isis with bloodborne is awesome. Also The One Reborn was absurdly easy lol only died once. I died more times getting to him actually. And the hunters before him. |
Muppelope
07.24.15 | The One Reborne is a joke agreed. |
Muppelope
07.24.15 | Fuck, I'm gonna start spelling born with an e at the end now. I almost just did it again typing that sentence. |
Brabiz
07.24.15 | NG+ is kind of insane. But yes, Bloodborne is amazing |
Drummerboy123
07.24.15 | Defiled Chalice Dungeon is the hardest part of the game by far. |
elcrawfodor
07.25.15 | Alright I'm finally making headway through Cainhurst, hopefully I'll finish that up tonight and will be ready to tackle the Unseen Village again (thanks Mongi for the confidence boost that the boss is easy). |
Tyler.
07.25.15 | Logarious or whatever cainhurst boss dude is really fucking tough |
Mongi123
07.26.15 | This is honestly turning into one of the best games I've ever played. The more I play the more I love it.
Also, the Celestial Emissary was one of the funniest jokes of the game. Wow beat him in not even two minutes lol. Didn't think that Logarious was too hard either, but that giant alien from the moon right after Celestial Emissary, that's a different story.... |
elcrawfodor
07.26.15 | Oh god there's an alien from the moon? Damn I need to play some more! Logarious took two tries for me, accidentally rolled off the roof first go around |
Mongi123
07.26.15 | Or something like that. It's called Ebrietas the Queen of the cosmos. You gotta break the window by the lamp in the gardens where the celestial emissary was then go down the elevator. And enjoy lol just bet the host of the nightmare too. I have no fucking idea how to get to amagdyla though. That's the only one I haven't beaten yet not counting the wet nurse the final boss. |
Spag
07.26.15 | Amagdyla is in the Nightmare Frontier. |
Mongi123
07.26.15 | Well yea I know but how do I get there? |
Spag

Thane
07.26.15 | i like dark souls more but i've still beaten bloodborne like 4 times. can't fucking wait for dlc. hope they add some weapons and blood rocks. |
Mongi123
07.26.15 | Yea I'm definitely giving this a second run through its amazing. The second time around I'm gonna not jam music while playing to get more of the experience |
Thane
07.27.15 | once you've played through it once it becomes considerably easier/faster. playing around with different weapons / builds and trying to do everything possible still makes it very entertaining though |
LepreCon
07.27.15 | I've beaten the other Souls games and can honestly say Bloodborne is piss compared to them, I only died 20 times in the first five minutes, what a jib! No but seriously excellent game, justified owning a PS4 after 100+ depressing hours with Destiny |
Drummerboy123
07.27.15 | 'Yea I'm definitely giving this a second run through its amazing. The second time around I'm gonna not jam music while playing to get more of the experience'
The sound design in the game is incredible. Wearing headphones whilst playing at midnight alone is scary shit. Especially those fucking birds that scream so loud. |
Tyler.
07.27.15 | I'm on my second play through and for a lot of boss fights I'm using coop and it's kinda fun tbh. Makes bosses reallyyyyyyyy easy tho |
Mongi123
07.28.15 | I have conquered Bloodborne. Moon Presence and all. Feels so fucking good :) |
elcrawfodor
07.28.15 | Congrats Mongi, I'm hoping to have it done soon but my attention is divided between Bloodborne, Jane Austen's Emma (sorry to be that guy), and rewatching Community so it's difficult to focus on Bloodborne. |
PayneTiger777
07.28.15 | I got the platinum for Bloodborne and I would say that I enjoyed it more than DS2. DS1 is still my favorite out of the Dark Souls games. The chalice dungeons weren't that fun for me, but the rest of the game is amazing. Defiled chalice Amygdala is a nightmare. Weapon of choice is the hunter's axe. |
Rawben
07.28.15 | Beaten it on 5+ characters/builds and having fun in pvp destroying people with bone marrow ash/repeating pistol
Psn: gamerprik |
kris.
07.28.15 | i love it like i love dark souls. its an incredible game that i'll never finish. i picked it up the month it got released, got to the blood-starved beast, died something like 20 times, and haven't touched it since. from what i can tell, the bsb is one of the easier fights, too. i get too angry at games.
i did the same thing with dark souls. got to ornstein and smough and was stuck on them for a solid 2-3 months. finally picked the game up again while my roommate watched and beat them the first try. then i got stuck again. haven't touched it since.
i mean shit i did that with demon's souls too. they're incredible games but damn i'm not great at them. |
Clumseee
07.28.15 | I went HAM on the game for quite a while. Loved it's presentation, challenging but rewarding gameplay, and its story and themes.
Then I got myself jammed in a tight spot -- one that will require grinding to get out of. Just haven't had the time to jump back in and slave through it.
However, Sony is having a slow fall in terms of exclusives so I'll probably hop back in while those on Xbox are enjoying their near perfect trifecta of Forza, Halo, and Tomb Raider. |
flalafell
07.29.15 | twas alright on the first playthrough for me, lost a lot of its luster on new game plus though, and the pvp (if you could find a match) was not at all fun for me |
Mongi123
07.29.15 | I think I deserve bragging rights for beating Moon Presence with only 7 blood vials to spare haha
I did notice that once I got past shadow of Yharnim the game got significantly easier. After that I was completely used to the ways of the game. |
Tyler.
07.29.15 | I thought moon presence was way too wasy. Gerhman was probably top 5 in the game tho |
PayneTiger777
07.29.15 | The hardest boss for me was Martyr Logarius. He's the only boss I can't beat solo for some reason. Ebrietas Daughter of the Cosmos wasn't too hard for me, and I was able to beat Gerhman in one try on NG+. |
Tyler.
07.29.15 | Daughter of the cosmos took me almost 40 tries |
Trebor.
07.29.15 | huge Dark Souls fan, don't have ps4 |
apert
07.29.15 | I beat the defiled chalice last time i played but, don't have living string so have to do a near complete playthrough till i can do the final chalice. Defiled chalice is probably the hardest thing in the game but had almost all the trouble was the watchdog, only took me 2 attempts to beat amygdala. |
elcrawfodor
08.10.15 | The Host of the Nightmare with headphones at midnight was the most terrified a game's made me feel in a while. Not even because the boss was tense (although I rage quitted after he one-shotted me with a spell) but that sound design is just incredible |
Mongi123
08.10.15 | Yea I thought he was easy as shit. The only time I was truly terrified during this game actually(and I honestly don't scare easily) was walking into the altar of despair. Oh.....my god lol |
DoctorDoom
08.10.15 | Need to get this ASAP. I was gonna buy it last month but I chose The Witcher 3 instead. |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | the thing that pissed me off about this game is that bosses can cheaply one-shot you with energy missiles. after playing the game several times there is no clear point in time to dodge roll these things, it's honestly a luck-of-the-draw type situation. host of the nightmare is especially awful because of this. his missile attack is such horse shit - same can be said of daughter of the cosmos and rom, although rom's which, if you're close enough, you can't even see coming because it drops down on top of you.
as far as the chalice dungeons go, i'm in one right now that is straight up fucking impossible. my health bar is reduced by like 66% and any single move is a one-hit kill on me. even with that in mind though the worst fucking thing in the chalice dungeons (and in the entire game, for that matter) is the abhorrent beast. what a load of shit that fight is. |
Drummerboy123
08.10.15 | 'the thing that pissed me off about this game is that bosses can cheaply one-shot you with energy missiles.'
Micolash the bastard. People were like 'oh he's the easiest boss in the game!' and yet I died to him countless times when he started doing those stupid energy beams. |
Mongi123
08.10.15 | I agree about the arcane attacks, but it's very clear when Rom's about to do those attacks, he does a pretty specific motion when the ice is about to drop down on you, and when they shoot up from the ground, the ground turns blue where they will shoot up, so Rom never gave me any trouble. Host of the nightmare too, you just have to get up super close to him when he starts to shoot them cause he doesn't shoot as many and he's also not as accurate when you hit him. |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | it's clear when he's going to do them, but still dodging them is met with mixed results. i can read rom no problem, but that honestly doesn't help (except for the ones coming up from the ground - those are easy to dodge).
my strategy for host of the night is get up close to him and keep beating his ass. after you run out of stamina, just step to the left or right and he'll shoot his tentacle arm at you, and then you step back in and continue to smack him around. with that method applied, he's a joke, but otherwise he's a stupidly overpowered boss. |
Mongi123
08.10.15 | Running does more justice than dodge rolling when it comes to Rom.
My problem once I got used to the game was not the bosses, but the nightmare of Mensis part. Holy fucking shit those brain monsters are the only unfair enemy in the game imo, and to an extent those torch holding wolves. Those giants that throw rocks at you and kill you in one hit are ridiculous too. |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | giants i never had much of a problem with. idk, there's a few enemies in this game that straight up suck ass imo. those brain things that frenzy you - the ones you can't even go close to or you pretty much automatically just die, unless you have sedatives of course.
another couple aspects of this game that are downright horrible: you HAVE to go back to the hunter's dream to go anywhere else, so an extra loading screen which is tedious as fuck. and speaking of tedious, farming for blood vials is the weakest point of the entire game. why couldn't we have some kind of estus system? |
Mongi123
08.10.15 | Idk when that system is but the loading never bothered me nor did hunters dream bother me cause everything else is so stellar. Anyway, most of the time when I died it's because it's my fault, but the brains are fucking absurd man. Like come on, how are you supposed to fight those things? |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | yeah they are dumb as hell. one of the weakest enemy designs in the entire souls series.
estus flask was a flask you upgraded throughout the game in dark souls that replenished every time you rested at a bonfire. at first you just got 1 refill, but as you went through the game you'd find estus shards which let you upgrade it to +2,+3 and so on. it made a lot more sense than forcing us to tediously farm for blood vials for hours on end throughout the game. and in dark souls 2 you could travel from one bonfire to any other that you'd discovered, instead of having to go back to a hub world and then travel from there. that's just a totally unnecessary loading screen tbh |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | changed my mind. the watchdog in the pthumerian defilement is the worst boss battle fromsoft has ever done. hands down |
Thane
08.10.15 | yeah gyro that boss is just ridiculous |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | that boss battle honestly makes me want to drop my rating by an entire point. i've fought this thing like 150 times now. if fromsoft was trying to make one of the least enjoyable and unfair boss battles of all time they succeeded |
Mongi123
08.10.15 | Is that the fire dog thing? Idk I didn't have a problem with that boss. Unless you can increase the difficulty in the missions. I just did the first chalice mission and I was severely overpowered for it. |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | yeah it is. he's a total pansy in the normal chalices. it's a chalice ritual where your health is cut down to like 40% and he can one hit kill you. it takes about 80 hits to take him down and there are three one-hit kills he can perform on you in an instant. |
Mongi123
08.10.15 | Well that doesn't sound like anything I want to do lol oddly enough I had the most trouble with the earlier bosses like blood starved beast and Shadow Of Yharnim. And the hunter in the graveyard. |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | it would also be awesome if i didn't have to keep repairing my weapon every ten minutes.
mongi: everyone says they have a hard time with blood starved beast but i think he's the easiest in the game. shadow of yhanim can be a pain in the ass though, and father gascoigne is an asshole for sure |
elcrawfodor
08.10.15 | Honestly I didn't have trouble with most of the bosses, was pretty overleveled for most of the game though. Can't wait to get off work and keep working through Mensis |
Tyler.
08.10.15 | Daughter of the cosmos was still the hardest thing ever |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | abhorrent beast and watchdog in pthumerean defilement are a thousand times harder than daughter of the cosmos tbh |
Tyler.
08.10.15 | I'm just going through the chalice now so I'm looking forward to that tbh |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | you will come to know a deep and personal hatred towards both. you'll encounter the abhorrent beast first. i'm going to help you out so you don't rage-quit: use poison throwing knives. |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | don't get me wrong though guys, ebrietos is one of the worst boss designs of all time. and certainly one of the least enjoyable fights in the entire game. |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | i wish every boss was as fun as mergo's wet nurse |
elcrawfodor
08.10.15 | So are the Chalice Dungeons worth playing through? You all are making them sound like they're not worth the frustration |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | to complete the game and play a bunch of other bosses they're worth it, but they are a MASSIVE pain in the ass when you're getting to the last like 5-6 |
Thane
08.10.15 | mergo's wet nurse is a fun fight, but it's way too easy. i hope the DLC bosses have the fun/hard balance ppl love, not chalice stuff which is just frustrating |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | mergo's wet nurse was on the easier side, but it was still a blast to play. it does a lot of cool moves, the music was awesome, the boss design is creepy as fuck. everything about it was great. after i die upwards of 20 times for a boss because of hitbox issues or stupidly overpowered aoe attacks or something it completely loses its fun factor and becomes tedious (a lot of the chalice bosses come to mind). i don't need it to crush my spirits to be a fun fight. my favourite bosses in the game are: vicar amelia, mergo's wet nurse, the one reborn, darkbeast paarl, and martyr logarius |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | amygdala was pretty cool too, same with moon presence. wasn't super impressed with the majority of chalice dungeon bosses. i thought the abhorrent beast was one of the best-looking in the game, but the fight was completely ruined for me by it being unrealistically difficult. i really loved the bloodletting beast a lot, and the queen was pretty cool |
ConcubinaryCode
08.10.15 | I wish I was good enough at this game to share in the conversations. |

08.10.15 | It just requires patience I myself didn't even knew I had haha. I agree the game crosses the line at some points, like with the arcane attacks, but for the most part the difficulty was brutal but fair. Also a great outlet to let out some anger that's built up inside ;) |
Gyromania
08.10.15 | or a great way to induce anger lol. i was happy as could be earlier until i started playing that chalice dungeon again. and in a matter of minutes i was standing up shouting at my tv in furious anger :P |

08.11.15 | if you feel like you're not good enough to play, i still recommend picking it up. just stay at it and you'll get it after a while. you'll feel a sense of accomplishment that is rare in games these days |

08.11.15 | Gehrman is kicking my ass, pretty tough for a final fight compared to the cakewalk that was Mergo's Wet Nurse |
Tyler.
08.12.15 | The one reborn is a terrible, terrible boss. |
Gyromania
08.12.15 | that boss fight rules. the casters almost ruin it at times though |
Tyler.
08.12.15 | I thought it was almost broken how easy it was. It felt so wonky and weird to me |
Gyromania
08.12.15 | i didn't feel that about it all. maybe you were just super op at the time? too high of a level |
Tyler.
08.12.15 | Nah. Going through unseen village I thought I was kinda under leveled, I even skipped fighting the hunters in the church completely. Def like top 3 easiest bosses in the game |
Gyromania
08.12.15 | it isn't super difficult, i enjoy it though. i especially like the look of it (seems like another incarnation of nito, doesn't it?). but yeah fuck the unseen village. i had no fun there tbh |
Tyler.
08.12.15 | My least favorite was the forbidden woods. I hated that section for some reason |
Gyromania
08.12.15 | favourite bosses? least favourite bosses?
and yeah the forbidden woods is lame as fuck. like, it's not even a particularly interesting area and i still maintain that it feels almost copy-pasted from dark souls 2 at points. i lost 800 thousand blood echoes there |
Thane
08.12.15 | unseen village sucks. bell ladies and spider things ugh.
Fav Bosses: father Gascoigne, rom, ebrietas, gehrman |
Gyromania
08.12.15 | seriously? rom had the coolest stage of any boss but was a pain in the ass, ebrietas is super broken imo and not as cool looking as i thought it'd be, and gehrman is a lot of fun until ng+3 |
zakalwe
08.12.15 | Rom is a ballache, gehrman is DS1 level of trickery. Darkbeast looks the business but is a piece of piss. Game is classic. |

08.12.15 | Hoping we get that DLC/Expansion announcement soon.
Absolutely loved the game, but the elements of multiplayer were very weak in comparison to Dark Souls, so hopefully that gets remedied. |
zakalwe
08.12.15 | yeah I miss covenants and the comradery that DS1 had. DS1 is gaming perfection. |
Gyromania
08.12.15 | it's a superb game but the multiplayer component is hands down the worst i've ever seen in a game |

08.17.15 | IT'S CONQUERED! Beat the Moon Presence yesterday, and I'm already itching to do NG+ and try out the Chalice Dungeons. Also watched some YouTube videos on the Lore, really interesting stuff. |
Mongi123
08.17.15 | Yea its a great feeling right? I beat the game three times to get all the endings and the only one that actually made any bit of sense was the ending where you don't fight anybody lol the story is nonsense but whatever amazing game. I'm gonna play dark souls now. |
Mongi123
08.17.15 | Did you beat every boss? |
elcrawfodor
08.17.15 | I think I did everything except for the Upper Cathedral Ward bosses, missed that key along the way |
Mongi123
08.17.15 | The upper catadrel ward was hard but satisfying to conquer. It's very easy to get the key too. |
elcrawfodor
08.17.15 | Yeah I'll be sure to hit it up next play through, but I'm going back to school on Friday so who knows when I'll find the time for that |
