Bigkopman Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Lol. Not my kind of game then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 You get used to it, but it tempts you in with its action facade then you are looking at the loading screen again. I just need to find my feet, im enjoying it despite it being hard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've been playing for an hour or so, no boss as of yet. It looks ok, shinier, clearer version of the other games but nothing so far that leaps out as amazing. That Souls level design is right there though - I'm in the first main section right now and it loops round so much. I made a red head lady, obviously.

Sambob Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 My 2.5 gig must have autodownloaded because It didnt pop up for me. Okay so my impressions after an hour are that I want to keep playing it forever. Will try to destroy a few hours on it tonight, with the aim being beating the first boss. I think I need to master the new mechanics, that visceral attack seems to be key to a lot of things. Im at the point where im just running up to massive crowds and taking them all out with the powered up long axe attack, but from everything I read of the previous games it seems like I really shouldnt be doing that, I expect its just because im at an early stage.

Hendo Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I lost 3000 souls or whatever it's called now, due to greed. Bum. Streaming in the usual place if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroed Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Started it last night and have the first complete outfit available to purchase from the bird bath. Trying to defeat the massive dude with the axe but haven't managed it yet. Perfected the first area though, I've been through it so much. Load times are awful though, the sooner they're patched the better. Also my ps+ ran out last night so I need to renew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I got to the boss on the bridge finally and obviously died. Lost tons of souls/blood things/xp but finally managed to level up a few times. Other than strength, stamina and health, I'm not sure where I should put my points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Only the ones you lost from the last death if you lose 2000 then die again they are gone. Its a harsh game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 This thread already. Blood echoes are left on the ground when you die unless a nearby enemy "eats" them. You just kill that enemy to get them back. Sam you need to agro the enemies one at a time if you can so you don't get overpowered. Use your pebbles if there's groups. Take your time. The first area is actually pretty linear compared to later on. A tip for fighting. If the enemy is holding a weapon in his right hand try to dash/roll to the right so you're not dashing into his attack arc. It also put the enemies back to you so you carry on your attack. If it in his left dash to the left etc. I'm about 10-15 hours in. It's beautiful. Sooo good. Nag, does this have share play? I'll show you the ropes if you want?

Sambob Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 The individual enemies im ok with, in fact im smashing through them, its just the boss. I probably need to grind and level a bit more. Ive had it down to a sliver a few times but then it just decides its going to win and goes on constant attack so you dont get an opening any more. I definitely can beat it and eventually will, i don't like the fact that you can play it for 2 and a half hours but have nothing to show for it.

AndyKurosaki Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 It's pretty tough so far. Not found how to use the blood to level up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 There's a good guide on Eurogamer which should be some help. There's a doll in the Hunter's Dream that is your method of levelling up, can't remember how you make it come to life, or if it just does after a certain time. Have a good search around the top and talk to the guy in the wheelchair up the top of the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
