Oh man... I have to remember what playing one of these games is like and get all the "Shadows of Mordor" stuff out of my head Just started. Nearly beat a wolf thing but died. Gave me a good grasp on the dodging and timing though. Grabbed some weapons then died whilst trying to figure out how to equip them.. came here to google how to equip stuff and facepalmed that I didn't even realise it was from that first menu. Strange design. Kinda wished they'd changed it. I can see I'll be taking photos of my character stat page and referring to it when getting new weapons again too

This combat is amazing! Changing weapon shapes mid combo is so damn satisfying! I like the speed and quick heal too. Feels a little more forgiving whilst, at the same time, not diminishing the difficulty! Bit annoying how you can hit thru some objects like metal railings. Feels like they should stop our swings. Also noticing a big difference in loads times from PS4 to PC. Not huge but gets annoying waiting for 20 seconds while the dream laods. Hate to think how bad the Souls games must have been on the PS3 or X360! Edited by Derpstrom, Mar 29 2015, 03:52 PM.

What starting weapon did you guys choose? I know Patto chose that saw balade thing. i went with the axe. With the saw blade does a charged R2 break shields/cause stagger? |

I chose the saw cleaver. Some enemies pause for a moment if you hit them with a charged attack, but they don't stagger in the sense that you can follow up with a visceral attack. The exception to the rule is attacking them unawares from behind. |

What's a visceral attack? By stagger I mean they drop to one knee. I'd grab a screenshot of it but my surface is dead (screen capture unit) and the game doesn't pause so I sure as fuck won't be using Sony's inbuilt system

The load times are annoying, especially since you have to warp to the Hunter's Dream whenever you want to buy stuff/level up/fast travel. It'd be nice if they at least had bits of lore on screen like the Souls games, but instead you get BLOODBORNE. |

A visceral attack is the special attack you make after parrying. I had a lengthy explanation in this post about how the combat works but it's probably better if the game teaches you this in its own way. There's an early fight that's designed to pull you out of the Dark Souls approach to things. Edited by Moo, Mar 29 2015, 05:02 PM.

I remember Patto saying something about parrying but I've yet to figure it out. Just using my slide and attack method right now, throw in an R1 if there are a few guys around. Just found myt first shortcut and, en route back to getting some "souls equivaklent" back I found this little glitch. Nice to know I can farm these bad boys if needs be although I'll try not to ![]()

It's funny reading people's comments on the game. A lot of people are finding a midgame boss extremely difficult but it was the first of two bosses I beat on the first try. It was definitely a tense fight though. I haven't finished the game yet. I've still got four bosses (three of which I haven't reached) and a lot of Chalice Dungeons to go. I think I'm going to slow down and savour what remains. |

Ive just hit my first boss and died because... well... a combination of "I'm not very good" and "I'm impatient" I can see how to beat him but he went ape shit at about 1/3 health and wiped mye out in a couple of hits. I always get caught on the long fights, especially in these games where punishment is harsh... although the vials are nice and readily available in this one

I assume you mean FG? That's the second boss fight I was talking about. The setting and design are sublime and, all said, that was one of the hardest fights in the game for me. Actually you might mean CB. Eh, I got it on the second try. Still a tense one though. Edited by Moo, Mar 29 2015, 08:53 PM.

I gave up after that one try. My first time playing and sunk in about 3 hours getting there. Not sure about you guys but these games burn me out quite quick so I need to play in 3 hour sessions. I get careless and impatient after that

Sorry Moo I missed this question. I'm guessing you've progressed well past it reading you other posts

I was just asking because I failed to notice the door for a long time, despite being in the room about a dozen times beforehand. |

It only opens after you fulfill certain conditions. If it's the one on the right you're talking about. |
