I knew you could start ahead without it, but I didn't think it'd keep updating in the background. 500mb downloaded now and I don't want to lose that on this middling (at best) broadband!

Play away, it'll keep updating in the background no worries. You won't lose any of the progress it's made either.

This is like the Undead Burg all over again. Struggling badly with the first part. Them fooking dogs. Been a good hour and a half and still haven't gotten to the third lamp.

Damn dogs.

SpaceSasqwatch · 22-05-2015 10:37pm

if you are where I think you are...just get them 1 by one with the pebbles to get their attention

Digital Solitude · 22-05-2015 10:41pm

And parry them

spiritcrusher · 22-05-2015 10:48pm

The groups of enemies are grand really. If I just run near them usually 2 or maybe 3 will come away and I don't have too much trouble dealing with them. Have the dogs worked out I think now, give them a rattle of the gun and then a strong long ranged attack usually gets them. Can see a tantalising ladder-type shortcut behind a gate though now... Teasing me.

That was me, that was exactly me.

Have you leveled up at all? That is important. It'll get to a point where everything clicks for you, keep at it.

As much as I loved my time with bloodborne I really hope froms "B team" make a sequel in the same vein as Dark Souls 2 with revised stats, loads of weapons and a much bigger focus on multiplayer.

There's no doubt Miyazaki and his team are far more talented game creators but I just miss the level of build customisation and the multiplayer focused covenants from Dark Souls 2 along with the community that comes with it.

I LOVE bloodbornes combat and world but the multiplayer is severly lacking and pvp seemed to be an after thought which is a shame as I just don't have that urge to come back to the game since I finished all the chalice dungeons.

Anyone else feel similar or am I alone in my craziness?

Captain Chaos · 23-05-2015 12:12pm

I feel mp pvp takes from the single player experience in games. Better to have a cracking single player game with no mp modes than an average single player experience with shoe horned in mp.

Nope, was wandering round with 8000+ sou... blood echoes and bricking it going round corners in case some bastard would jump me and I'd lose them (having had had that happen me 2/3 times beforehand) so I caved and looked up what the story was with levelling. So I went and spent the echoes on upgrading the cane, buying armour and molotovs. Last part I got to last night was opening up the left hand gate at the lamp. This thing is shortcut central, I assumed there must've been a third lamp I had to get to. Gonna lash back into it now.
I reckon this game should suit my play style as in DS1 I was a full on dex build, then in DS2 I put everything into offensive magic where I might as well not have had a shield and had very little max health so I was all about not getting hit. So I think I'll go all in on the skill and endurance attributes for this, get in and out quickly doing damage.

Well fuck. I attacked the first NPC accidentally (Eileen the Crow I believe). Put the controller down on my lap and hit R2 by accident. I take it whatever her story was is now dead to me?

Pity they didnt have this at launch. Would have made co-op less of a pain.

Ebrietas,

drove me nuts the first two times, the camera was ridiculous in that arena.

tok9 · 25-05-2015 10:16am

The update is live now.

Yeah. I was sure it was going to be a flying enemy when I first entered that room as the camera kept forcing itself to look upward. But I think they were just trying to make sure you didn't pay much attention to the water textures on the ground as they're a bit on the blocky side.

tok9 · 25-05-2015 3:01pm

I'll be happy to help out anyone if someone needs a hand now that the level doesn't matter.

Can't beat that stupid fecker with the spiders

Any tactics?

JamesHarry · 27-05-2015 4:20pm

Bloodborne is very horrible game .I like it very much

The Pheasant2 · 27-05-2015 6:53pm

Just started this yesterday, first "Souls" game I've played since Dark Souls so I was a tad rusty and the lack of shields doesn't help since I would've used one a lot in DS!

The first part gave me a pretty tough time forcing an (inevitable) rage quit - picked it up again later in the day and managed to crack it. Beat the Clerical beast on my first attempt but took about 6 or 7 gos at the Father - half the difficulty with him is trekking over to him from the spawn point!

Very much enjoying it so far, I found after the initial hump that things have clicked in a way and with improving my gear and levelling up (lvl 24 now) that it's growing into a much smoother ride.

I went for the axe as my trick weapon and have primarily been two-handing it while using one hand and the pistol less often...is this a bad idea? I'm fearing if I don't completely master the parry it'll leave a weakness in my game later on.

can get to him with the shortcuts open with maybe 6 or 7 beasts to kill.

I 2handed the axe all the way through with using the pistol(or rarely).
Started using the saw on my 2nd playthrough and using the pistol more

Anyone fancy helping me with the poxy spider anytime from 7.25 till 9 or so

tok9 · 27-05-2015 7:43pm

Sure I can take a quick break from the witcher.

Both of my characters will prob be a little OP.

mdwexford · 27-05-2015 8:19pm

Just killed him on my own!!!

Tried taking out all the spider minions before attacking him instead of avoiding them and it worked.

Thanks anyway.

Parched to 1.04 - ng+1. No sign of chunks for sale in insight messengers font in hunters dream. They should be there according to patch notes...

Anyone seeing chunks available there Now? I'm insight 99+

I can see shards, not chunks. Has anyone noticed some weird glitches in hemwick since the patch?
