This game is so hard I can't even get through the title screen.

Well the trailer for the DLC is up and it's coming this november :D :eek:

That looks so corny, but I'm gonna play the hell out of that shit. Will give me a reason to dust off my game and do my gun build.

Sooooo, who here is getting the DLC?

Already preordered on PSN myself and just one more day to go.

So far what's confirmed without spoiling too much:

10 new weapons
5 new offhand weapons
5 new bosses.

Less than a day to go.

Chances are you can pick up a new copy of BB for less than $30 now.

If you live in Europe, there's a new physical version of the base game and expansion.

I popped my Bloodborne cherry last night and played for 6 hours straight, helping a friend who had no idea what he'd signed up for with this game. He was stuck in old yarnham getting his ass handed to him.

We found that if you pull the two dogs on the bridge w/ cleric beast down into the upstairs of the house, that they can't fit in the door and you can farm them hard.

Now we're off to the races! I really enjoy the game. Combos are fairly complex and allow a little batman arkham type flair while you crush enemies.

Dark/demon souls must be harder because, outside of the first two areas, Bloodborne seems pretty manageable as long as you don't get impatient and/or greedy.

The first area when you are starting out is prolly the hardest part of the game. Once you open up the shop it gets alot easier from then on.

Yeah, 1/2 the battle of a souls game is reacquainting yourself with the combat system then it's a pretty stable difficulty curve from there.

I agree the beginning sucks, unless you just run through it. You really got to farm though mid game if you're going solo. Some of those bosses, like the lady in the church are a bitch alone.

Damn, playing Fallout 4 and Battlefront. Now this comes out in one day, lol. It is going to be a busy 3-4 months.

Unlike Demons/Dark souls, bosses will run away (and you can hurt them BAD) if you are unrelenting.

In BB, greed is the name of the game.

Apparently the DLC is accessed by getting grabbed by the Amygdala outside of the church after defeating Vicar.

I'll check it out tomorrow, I guess. I'm not in any rush as I platinumed the game twice and did all chalice dungeons 4.5 times. By the way, they never did patch Ludwig's.

I'm not in any rush to get the DLC for now, but does anyone know if you can score those giant floppy stove pipe hats that boom hammer hunters are wearing? They look like a riot.

What do you guys think of the Old Hunters expansion so far? I played a good hour of it after having to beat 3 bosses on my current new game + to unlock the Hunters Nightmare. I really like the NPC hunter summons for boss fights and the are so many hunter enemies in the Hunters Nightmare. That squid giant with the axe keeps destroying me, lol. I am a little rusty and may need to level up a little more than my current 112. Love this damn game... also, I order Dark Souls 2 on PS4 for $20 during the Best Buy BF sale today.

I got into it on NG+7 and like the DS2 DLC it's been an absolute baptism of fire.
I think every boss is gonna take me 8 hours to not just learn, but MASTER (because one mistake = 1hko).

Honestly, I almost think this shit is TOO hardcore....like so fucking unfair I may never bother beating it.
Mercifully though, all the stuff I want comes early in the DLC (old hunter garb, chain gun, boom hammer, pizza cutter, etc)


One good thing about the DLC? If you take it early on you can JUST rescue Arianna the whore and keep using her blood for any clutch moments...since DLC progression doesn't affect her at all. =)

^ that would be great if true. Demon's souls is very special.

As far as the DLC for bloodborne goes, so far so good. Two bosses down so far. I love all the hunters that are around just waiting to kill you. Those fights are fun as hell

If Demon's Souls was remastered for PS4, it would be one of the happiest moments of my gaming life. I have hundreds, and hundreds of hours dumped in that game, and don't regret a second of it. I am thirsty for more. I dream of newly populated servers, full of PVP, without restriction. Invading in the swamp stage was so much fun.

There is one thing I really want in a remake though, and it's something I always wanted in the original. I want this version to have the broken archstone fixed, and turned into a whole new world, that is ridiculous hard. This should have at LEAST been a DLC in the original, and having it come standard would be a great extra to get people to buy it.

It is rumored, well let me start over. The 6th archstone was partially created, and FROM realized it wasn't in the budget, so they scrapped it, and the files are still in the game. Then they made up a story that the archstone was broken in order to slow it's progression. It is said to be the land of the giants, which we caught a glimpse of in DS2.

I'm trying not to get excited here, but this has been on my mind all day. I really hope this happens.

Demon's Souls was awesome but I never got far. I'm only half way done with Bloodborne and I got it in March. Once I beat Bloodborne I'd love to get back to the roots and play Demon's Souls on my PS4. Since I utilize the remote play feature so much it may help me to beat Demon's Souls. My work schedule really gets on the way of everything but remote play with my Vita TV helps me to not wake up my wife and it also lets me jump into some game play while dropping a deuce at work.
I hope this happens.
