    Hard to believe it's only ~14 hours before I can happily remove myself from society; to let watch myself die, and die again for four days.

    And on my birthday no less.

    It shall be a glorious weekend.

    What starting class are people going with? I'm at a loss as to what I'll pick.
    I was a knight in DS 1 and 2 and dabbled as a pyromancer too.

    "Military Vet" seems to be your average knight in BB but "Violent Past" has better vitality and strength at the cost of skill.

    Sooo, whats the overall verdict on this? Is it the system seller people expected it to be? Genuine non-troll question from someone who has not played the Souls games in the past (but will get around to it eventually)

    From the 5-8 hours I've spent on Bloodborne so far, it's fantastic. Easily as good as From Software's best work.

    That said I've played all the Souls games so I knew exactly what I was getting into.

    I've been chatting with McMafia who's new to thee kind of games and even though he's obviously finding it difficult, he's absolutely loving it.

    Dunno when I'll be able to pick this up but had a look at VaatiVidya's yootoob channel as he has some great Souls videos. Just some beginners tips but makes me want to get this ASAP. He also explains how multiplayer works if anyone was wondering about that. Near the end of the vid for people who don't want tips.

    Is this expected to be a system seller? I doubt it. It's not as niche a game as Demons souls was but I wouldn't say they've hit the mainstream with it either and would expect plenty of copies to be on the shelves of CEX next week.

    Well by system seller I meant more like it's the 1st system exclusive that could see people make the move to buy a PS4 if they were on the shelf about it up until now.

    No, haven't been to either of those places, this one is definitely a secret place

    I was gonna go with "Violent Past" and go for a STR build but now I'm not sure as I want to play with the Cleaver now. Could go for an all round build so I can test most of the weapons out. Or stick to my Souls tradition and pick the weakest class for my first run. Deprived in Souls 1 and 2 and now "Waste of Flesh" for Bloodborne.

    Or I may just go on impulse at the time and pick whatever feels good. Then spend 3 hours creating my char only to fall asleep at 3am

    Having bought all previous Souls games on the PS3 I'm absolutely sickened at not being able to play this. I'm a student so no way can I justify buying a PS4...release it on PC pls :mad:

    I think it's pretty mainstream. The most mainstream for a Souls game yet. Not on the level of Call of Duty or Fifa but it's a system seller for sure. No doubt Sony will see an increase in console sales. Sure it had 120k viewers on twitchtv at one stage yesterday 20k or so more than League of Legends.

    I'm in the process of moving house, and am without internet for God knows how long. Did not realize how awkward it is moving one account from house to house :(

    Pro Tip: Get a 3mobile mobile modem, get a pay as you go sim card with 1 month contract for €22 a month and truly unlimited data, use the sim card instead of the one you get with the modem, you get about 2-5mbps but beggars can't be choosers. I moved house recently and was able to play and host 6 players games of Destiny using it, without an issue. Also just call them one day after you take out the contract and give them your 1 months notice. If you have further questions, just ask.

    I'd be happier if more people could get to experience the game.

    Unless you really want to play co-op, there's no difference between playing online and offline anyway. I've been playing offline most the time, because I want to try solo the entire game, and the huge amount of notes gets kind of annoying.

    It was a joint venture with SCEJ, so it will not be appearing on any other platforms, Kadokawa are very cosy with Sony at the moment.

    He's talking about the in game notes other players can leave to help or sometimes hinder you.

    Sorry, I thought they meant Playstation Notifications (I thought all the cool kids were referring to Notifications as Notes), never mind. I'll butt out of the thread for the game I don't own :P

    D'oh I get you now, if you could switch all that stuff off it would have been a pretty big change in philosophy from the other games.
