Well I've started on bloodbourne and am up to the first boss. First impressions: very good so far but it's a different beast to dark souls
The main reason for this is the fact you have no shield at all. In previous souls games I used my shield a lot and used a very cautious approach with enemies
With no shield I have to adapt by attacking more and using the dodge button. It's taking me a bit of time to adjust and I got killed 4 times trying to kill my first enemy I faced
Anyway I think I am settling into it now. The enemy variation is good so far and the atmosphere is as foreboding as previous souls games.
It's also a fair game aswell. Tough but not unfair. Although I haven't beaten the first boss yet I've come pretty close a few times and once I get the hang of his attack patterns I should get past it.
One downside is the load times which are very lengthy when you die (which will be a lot). Sony have said they will be fixing this soon which will be a bonus
As I've said first impressions are good. I'll do another review a bit further down the line

Haven't really noticed to be fair Greg. Atmosphere is excellent but it doesn't really stand out too much graphically. Not saying it's bad but no wow moments so far

Incredible game!
Genuinely the first game in years (probably since Dark Souls 1/Uncharted 2) that's had me turning on my PS4 at all opportunities.
With regard to difficulty; it is, as stated, an extremely fair game, so you will progress as and when you're ready. If adds such tangible emotion - palpable tension - when progressing, facing bosses & exploring new areas.

There's a good chance rap especially if you lob your controller at her in a fit of rage
There's also a boss called father Gascoigne. I can confirm his special move doesn't involve bringing cans of lager and home made sandwiches to a crime scene

The distance between bloodbourne a equivalent of bonfires is ridiculous! One wrong move and an hour or so of gameplay down the toilet

once you die, you should be able to run past the enemies and get back to where you were before
its a skill to run past them but you get better at it, they stop giving chase after a while
speed runs are going to be fun in this game

Apparantly someone went through the game in just 44 minutes think he used a glitch though

Just bought Bloodborne a few days ago, haven't played it yet but just wondering what starting class and weapon should I use?
I've heard that Ludwig's Holy Blade is the best weapon in the game and I'm thinking of focusing my build around getting the best out of the weapon. Apparently, putting your points on Arcane makes the weapon so much better than just Strength/Skill.
Any suggestions?
