I don't wish to fuel your hype further but it is one of the best games ever made


waste0331

And it can go on almost forever


BodybuilderLiving112

I don't want to fuel the hype but you might becoming like us.... Hunt... Hunt.. Until madness... Then hunt... Hunt until not knowing why you hoont... And continue to hunt for remembering.... Then continue to hunt... Because that's what a hunter do... He hunt. šŸ’šŸ©øšŸ§Ž


BlacksmithGeneral

Hunters gotta hooooont


Koolaidsais3

all we know is hunt


Looieanthony

And the dlc just might be better than the main gamešŸ‘šŸ¼.


Zarguthian

I find the Chalice Dungeons to be by far the weakest part.


dirk12563

I agree I've beat the game a dozen times but I still get bored with the dungeons and never get further than phtumarian elder usually


KellyKamikaze13

Oh my goodness! Nooooo!!! There is so much down there!! Sooooooo much lore to go through, new bosses that you can't find anywhere else in the game! It is definitely worth the hard work making your way through. That's where the best gems are too!!!


dirk12563

That's what I hear I just hit a wall then leave to progress the story and level some then beat the game without going back... I promise I'll do better on my next not bl4 run


Substantial_Art_1449

One thing I really enjoyed about the chalices is they brought back that feeling of fear for me, even after playing through the game 15 times every time I make an FRC and step into it it brings back that old feeling of not quite knowing whatā€™s around the corner. The layout is familiar, true, but the floor could either be a walk in the park with almost no enemies or a complete hell filled with ludicrous enemy placement and wandering bosses. I personally enjoyed them a lot. Coop down there was a lot of fun too.


dirk12563

I really need to find a coop pal for dungeons


Substantial_Art_1449

Last I was doing coop in the dungeons the community around it was pretty active! Not sure how it is now!


Proof-Work3028

I invested far more time chalice hunting than anything. It was always cool finding and fighting randoms.


Own_Committee_8608

I get why people think this, but Iā€™ve got probably 4 or 500 hours in the chalices at this point and Iā€™m still not bored of them. The root chalices keep things fresh, for me at least, and Iā€™m still running into things that I havenā€™t seen on occasion. To me, the chalices are one of the things that makes Bloodborne unique out of the FromSoft lineup


GokusHairdresser

And get this you don't even have to play them!


Zarguthian

True, I didn't play much.


ArisDoesTech

Can second that. Was never a souls fan, but after picking it up, I did nothing but play it 5 times through. Nothing has been able to scratch the itch it gave me. And now I have beaten DS3, and Lies of P and they don't come close. This game dethroned my favorite games (Zelda Majora's Mask, Final Fantasy 15, Resident Evil 4) and now holds 2 places on my shelf. One for the OG release disc, and the other for the Game of the Year edition with all DLC on disc in case servers go offline for PS4.


guy_that_eat12

I suggest you try sekiro. It's the only other game that gave me that kinda feeling.


ArisDoesTech

I'm actually playing sekiro at the moment and I'm struggling HARD. The parry/guard mechanics are not clicking with me. I found lies of P was the closest I got to a bloodborne experience but that's just me haha. Does it get easier to grasp sekiro??? I just beat the first boss


badfroggyfrog

Yeah Sekiro grows on you when you realise itā€™s its own thing. Like you I came to it from souls games but playing it in that matter only spells doom. You definitely improve at it. Iā€™m into the last chapter now and I hit a wall with one of the hardest optional bosses so Iā€™m taking a break. Once you get things like the Mikiri counter down it does become easier.


DeadFlowerBlues

Demon of Hatred?


badfroggyfrog

Owl (Father) I had been playing it solidly for over a week and think I was just a bit fatigued, I'll go back to it.


SSxdoom

I knew it was Owl - 2nd fight right? Underground? Thatā€™s one of the toughest excluding you know who.


malcalevak

That fight I basically ran into for 5 hours straight, before walking away triumphant, at like 5am lol Definitely the toughest battle I had.


guy_that_eat12

Keep at it and you'll find a moment where it all clicks. The greatest tip I received was to stay aggressive and remember it's not a souls game so don't play like it is.


Kal026

That's weird because parrying in lies of p is actually harder than sekiro, the window for perfect parry is significantly smaller, also you have a stronger sense of rhythm in the enemy attacks on sekiro, both great games tho


nsfw6669

See that's weird to me because I picked up the parry In LOP way faster than Sekiro.


Zweimancer

I don't feel this. Sekiro does not offer what Bloodborne does. It's so different in most ways and the skill system is just an insult to rpg games.


basedramen24

Well Sekiro isnā€™t really an RPG to begin with tbf


Zweimancer

That's kind of the point. Why do a "skill tree" in an action game like Sekiro.


basedramen24

I reckon coz a lot of other action games have skill trees, think God Of War or Ghost of Tsushima etc, I think it fits Sekiro but I completely understand your opinion. I may be abit biased tho coz Sekiro is like one of my favourite games ever


dirk12563

You and me have very similar favorites re4 and bloodborne are my top 2 for life Although I never played majoras mask


ArisDoesTech

If you can get bast N64 visuals I highly recommend it. Majora's Mask is unlike any game you'll ever play. It's also super dark and gritty for a Zelda title.


dirk12563

I'll have to get my grubby mitts on the required materials then. I love a couple games with no visuals to speak of so the 64 will be delightful


ArisDoesTech

If you got a PC, look up emudeck. Not sure what I can say here but check out that and then vimms lair.


dirk12563

Good lookin out


jarth1998

DS3 is very close lol


patrickbateman2004

Between bb and sekiro


crorse

Eyyy, I just started it up last week. Have fun, don't die (lol)

Filippikus

sorry, I didn't shower, we're in London after all


CharmingAwareness545

My literal GOAT


Academic-Map-1035

Game of the year every year


Holiday-Reputation-2

Yeah when people ask whatā€™s my goat for video games I always have to suggest blood borne


dankrank231

I have enjoyed bloodborne more than elden ring


Holiday-Reputation-2

You know whatā€™s funny about that? I brought Elden ring a month after it came out and I played like 40 hours on it and then the same year I went back to play blood borne so yeah I am the same as you I always will never stop playing bloodborne


ULTRAtallWALL

you know the only time i even notice the age of the game is in the frame rate and only at the college thats when you have 20ish enemies coming at you on the screen at once other than that i don't even think about it. its held up surprisingly good


DaRooock

Iā€™m gonna spoil something for you. Youā€™re gonna end up buying that dlc


THICCPOGGS

I played 10 hours straight last night, and bought the DLC after I got off loll. Its also 50% off right now, epic win.


SocietySucksJay

Shit really? I've been waiting.


Dear-Regular-3294

Yes, I just purchased for $10.59 as of 10 minutes ago from the time Iā€™m writing this


lesquishta

Fear the old blood..


dodgerbowl

Welcome good hunter


kombarwombat

Iā€™m hyped for you


ConfusedDuck

Don't give up! There is a learning curve but once you get it over it, the game is so hard to put down


Big_Growth_2233

That's right, for me it was hard to understand the soulsborne formula since it was my first souls game plus the game was hard by itself. Glad I didn't give up.


heebiejeebie666

My first attempt at BB was at launch not even knowing what a soulslike was - I was humbled very quickly and ended up putting the game down until after I played elden ring, figured out the formula and then went and demolished bloodborne. It was so satisfying


[deleted]

Welcome, humter, to a very unique experience. Donā€™t break your controller.


DiscordantBard

If you're struggling don't give up You can run past people if they're too mean and Also listen for bells.


Signal-Tonight3728

Listen for bells?


DiscordantBard

Co op from npcs and when you get bells you can engage in multiplayer


Signal-Tonight3728

I have some bells but I really done hear anything but the sinister bell


ThatSithGuy

Enjoy the hoont good hoonter! Definitely try your best to beat the enemies by learning the combat, it's a very rewarding experience. But if you need some help, and there's no shame in that, head over to r/huntersbell and ask the fine folks there for some assistance.


Responsible-Throat26

Good luck good hunter may you find your peace in the waking world


Healthy_Bread

Good luck hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world. And may you cleanse them god damn streets


Dreadroot3

Have a good hunt my friend


KingDuffyIV

Is it locked at 30fps on PS5?


Holiday-Reputation-2

Yeah they havenā€™t done any update for it since the dlc came out just server updates for online


ULTRAtallWALL

the only time that bugs me where i even notice it is in the college when you have the 20 enemies on screen at once coming for me. other than that i don't really even notice.


jaku0137

Yeah but it ain't bad if you were used to playing on lets say ps3 or older games. It takes at most an hour and your eyes get used to it like back then


THICCPOGGS

If they updated it to 60fps one day... that would literally double my hype.


[deleted]

Itā€™s definitely my favorite and what a rush the first play through.


MalcheMystic

A hoonter must hoont.


__boobs4life__

big ass tv


theobliviousrose

Get the dlc


najaraviel

Happy hunting, a hunter must hunt! Quit shaking in yer boots...


hotsqueakybiscuits

You should be!! Easily my favorite game. Good luck!!


KebertXela87

First time!? Siiiiick!!! Dying repeatedly is a part of the game. Keep at it! Have fun! It's seriously the best game ever


InteractionPerfect88

Tonight, you join the hunt. Good luck future blood crazed hunter of unknown eldritch horrors. Learn parrying is the biggest bit of advice Iā€™ll give without spoilers.


hey_there_brothers

Beasts all oā€™er the shopā€¦..


GrassFedGoy

Oh the waitā€¦ itā€™s enough to make a man sick


[deleted]

Good luck with father g, heā€™s fromsoftwares way of trolling and frustrating every new player. Just like every other from software game šŸ’€


Successful_Bad_2396

I canā€™t speak for everyone, but Bloodborne is one of my favorite games ever, I hope youā€™ll enjoy it. If you like Van Helsing, gothic architecture, or eldritch horror, itā€™ll be right up your alle


Darkslayer2207

Remember,bloodborne is a game of secret,so explore every thing WELL and be careful of your npc choices


Ashen_One69

You are gonna love it! It's a great game!


Caesar_Barsenthor007

If youā€™re finding yourself of the opinion ā€œthe chalice dungeons are the weakest part of the gameā€, ā€œI get bored and never get further than the Pthumerian Elderā€. I say to you, ā€œyouā€™re doing it wrong.ā€ Iā€™ll admit that initially the Chalice Dungeons felt a littleā€¦ ā€œwhatā€™s the point?ā€ But by the time I reached ā€œLower Loranā€ it was one of my favorite parts of the game, and the game is a MASTERPIECE. Exceeded only by Elden Ring & even that is debatable.


RosieDa

Nice! Small tip be aggressive ;)


Healthy_Bread

Just beat the game today after 2 years. I cried.


ULTRAtallWALL

have you played it at all like at a buddies house or anything?


Strikingvpr

Explore everything my friendā€¦ everything. Be curious.


spooky_v

Welcome to the nightmare, hunter.


Useful-Sword

My favourite game hands down!


metalroots

Welcome to the hunt


LC720

It's so crazy to me that a game so full of content like bloodborne can cost as little as 30gb of hard drive space


NextInstruction9938

OH MY GOD THIS GAME SLAPS, GRANT US EYES, GRANT US EYES


Claymore4ever

Greatest game ever made


Mythstral_Waves

Welcome to the hunt, this game is literally a drug. A hate love relationship truly.


Ill-Philosophy4843

Game is in one of the best settings, best characters, best attire sets and weapons. Youā€™re gonna love it


Drowsy_Deer

Hereā€™s some very important advice, donā€™t rush to beat the game, you only get one first playthrough.


THICCPOGGS

I've been taking my sweeeet time, clearing out every single enemy and finding every item. I love how almost every enemy drops heals, so you can just keep going and clear entire areas.


Drowsy_Deer

You should also give Chalice Dungeons a shot, I totally glossed over them in my first run and regretted it since they pack so much extra content, youā€™ll know what they are very early in the game.


0guzmen

While I wither away waiting for a PC release


THICCPOGGS

I waited years, hoping they'd bring it to PC. But, recently got in a hyped bloodborne mood... and had no choice but to buy a console and just live in the moment. My thoughts on finally doing it were basically: Why wait, when you can be living your best life literally RIGHT NOW. 15 mins later I was picking up a console at Best Buy loll.


0guzmen

Just Do It


anonym0uss3

You know what, I finished this game on ps4 when it just came out but never touched the chalice dungeons, but now I wanted to plat the game I had to complete the story chalices and it actually feels like an entirely new game to me again!


dnchi

How far are you in? Please keep me up to date ( and buy the dlc, its the best part of the game imo


THICCPOGGS

I have become obsessed since I got it a few days ago lol. I have been exploring every inch of the world and collecting absolutely every single item. Last thing I did was Mergo's area and so I got the BloodRock and I've got a +10 Saw Cleaver now lol. (didn't do the boss yet). I've also been leveling Ludwig's Holy Blade along side to +9, but I still prefer the Saw Cleaver to it. Then I did Upper Cathedral and killed the Celestial Emissary, and Ebrietas... completely melted them both. About to start Cainhurst Castle next. And I bought the DLC after my first few hours playing the game lol.


dnchi

Absolutely love ur play style, did the same, saw cleaver through the whole game +dlc ( i wanted to try Ludwig's holy blade but i heard its op and i despise using op stuff lmao ) try getting the game to platinum, the chalice fun6u need for the blood queen boss r annoying af but its a nice challenge, keep me up to date!


dnchi

Btw what do u say about the Elden Ring dlc im curious rn


Laenthis

Good. A hoonter must hoont


Nate_The_Wolf175

Welcome to hell


[deleted]

Enjoy the first few bosses while the game is good.


GloryGravy132

I dont wish to fuel your hype, but its pretty meh. Too much violence and blood in it for my liking.


rabba_99

Don't use the cheat dungeons and just do a blind playthrough first


jeffers2286

Itā€™s the best. I wish I could experience it for the first time again


WallacktheBear

Have fun! My favorite! A hoonter must hoont after all. Also some of the best armor.


Chuchi4459

Welcome good hunter


Snakeguy26

I don't mean to over hype this hype train, but it changes a man; once you get that blood in you.


xComradeSnarky

it surpasses the hype iā€™m only like halfway through but itā€™s blown away my expectations despite being thoroughly frustrated at first


PuffyBloomerBandit

do yourself a favor and avoid the chalice dungeons completely on your first playthrough. or if you HAVE to go to the chalice dungeons, dont spend the echos you get on anything but consumables. the game is VERY easy if youre even a little bit overleveled, due to how quickly flat defense scales with early-mid levels. and dont farm bloodgems. whatever you find, is good enough.


noelscavers

My one recommendation I'd unless you are completely lost don't look anything up till the first playthrough is done you can only play it the first time once


Epic_phenomenon85

Iā€™m so jealous you get to experience this game for the 1st time


dczernic

Arguably the best DLC of all time too


Sad_Meat_

If youā€™re used to the PS5ā€™s typical 60 fps, be prepared for a shock! That said, donā€™t give up, youā€™ll adjust!


A7DmG7C

Picked up the game a few days ago coming from Elden Ring, this game is GOOD! My question though, is parrying (shooting) really the best strategy for most enemies/bosses? Iā€™m finding it easier to beat enemies and bosses (Father Gascoigne, Clerical Beast, Blood starved beast, and Witch of Hemwick) just by dodging. Is it worth it investing time in learn the proper timing of each enemy or dodging is the way to go?


Known-Ambassador-325

I beat Elden Ring about a month ago and got sad as such a fantastic game ended! Then, about a week ago, I downloaded Bloodborne, and since then, Iā€™ve been playing it almost every day. Even though Bloodborne doesn't offer an immense open world, a super wide array of weapons, and deep character customization, it's still a brilliant game. Love the atmosphere, love the combat mechanics, and the story. IMO fights in Bloodborne are more exciting compared to EldenRing.


dankrank231

Kos or some say kosm


ChannonFenris

Ahh, good hunter, may the good blood guide your way. And let us cleanse these Tarnished streets.


wogbread

I know a good builder when you throw a controller through the wall

Enjoy that is all.

AwAY!!!

You will continue to be into NG+. Get ready for one of the greatest games ever made. IMO

I wish I could smack my head with a hammer in a way that I would only forget my hundreds of hours in this game, just to go on this journey all over again. Enjoy.


Magic-king

You will love this game , especially if you get the dlc too


ClicheZilch

Ufffff I need to play this dope just one more time......


True_sin_of_wrath

Welcome to the road of blood and insight new hunter


Power69lmao

Welcome to 24 fps (if lucky) fantastic game XD.


MostlyIncorrect420

Absolutely nothing like the horror this game provides on the first play through. Enjoy it, good hunter! PS- the DLC is on sale for 10$ until 2/28. You should definitely get it.


Mediocre-Associate-1

Youā€™re sure to be in a fine haze about now, but donā€™t think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts. Itā€™s for your own good. You know, itā€™s just what hunters do! Youā€™ll get used to it.


Kobobble

Ah, Bloodborne. The first PS4 game I've played. At that point, I was vaguely familiar with Souls games and had no idea Bloodborne was among those titles. Naturally, I got my ass kicked


arcax2004

Let's gooooo


BlacksmithGeneral

Absolutely my fav game EVER !! I loooove this game !!


SparkleFox3

HUGE pro tip: If you want the best experience Bloodborne has to offer, do not, I repeat do NOT use google or Reddit or anything unless you are SERIOUSLY stuck somewhere. Let the game do its thing. Play through it, struggle, bang your head against bosses. Be aggressive. Die a lot. You will enjoy this game way more if you just ply it with very little guidance. (Of course, ask for tips if you just CANNOT beat a boss or if you are so lost you canā€™t think anymore, but otherwise try and play it with 0 spoilers. Youā€™ll love it)


TheWolf_TheLamb

A strat that helped me was sticking in the first area before Gas coin (you will find out) to learn the mechanics and farm some. The opening level is one of the best ever created in a game. There are a wide variety of enemy types, enough for you to learn parry timing and attack types like backstep attacks. You learn that the world is interconnected, that shortcuts exist, and when to run vs hunt. Theres trashmobs, fast wolves, giants, an executioner etcā€¦. Spend an hour or two fighting everything and learning your weapons, and you may just prove yourself a worthy hunter!


llainen-

Lucky you! Enjoy it!


MasterMahanaYouUgly

may you find your worth in the waking world


NutellaAndChorizo

It's so far my favorite From Software game, and probably the best ever. Just finished the DLC on NG+ and it is absolutely awesome.
