i just......
i found the best boss EVER!
so, in Bloodborne, the second boss you fight is a priest, who comes at you screaming and swinging an axe and a shotgun. what follows is a frantic round of backpedaling and vicous fighting, which is a nice change from boss 1, which is a marathon boss who takes a very long time to kill, its nice to have a rapid holy shit boss.
Alright I'm just going to gush over Bloodborne here for a sec. This is honestly the best fucking game I've played since Dark Souls 1, I could not for the life of me get into Dark Souls 2 due to those hitboxes (one of the swords actually has a bigger hit box then what is shown, also rolling under most attacks does fuck all); and as someone who mainly focused on parrying attacks and quick dodges then hiding behind a shield, I got into this game really quickly. I finally figured out how to use my gun and bought the repeater pistol and let me say... don't buy the repeater pistol, I thought it'd fire quicker like a revolver or something similar, but no. It just uses two bullet for double the damage, it's pretty fucking useless if you ask me.
I also want to gush over the general atmosphere of the game. The opening hours remind me of a more unforgiving version of Undead Burg, and getting chased around and having to fight hordes of pissed off lynch mobs was crazy; and since I played it at 12AM and quit at 3AM I can say that the fear of whats to come was next. The ambience is creepy, the visual design is creepy, and once you've defeated Father Gerg(something) the tone takes a total shift once you head into Old Yharnam and the game quits fucking around.
I've only died because:
1. I was reckless and fucked up
2. I fell off a high place
3. I didn't know how to fight the boss, and actually plan for what to expect. (I've died once per boss, except for the Cleric Beast, fuck that boss)
I've been using the Hunters Axe got it upgraded to +3 with a multiplier Blood Gem. And my favorite feature is probably how much blood your character gets coated in when you're doing really well, after beating Old Yharnam my guy was covered head-to-toe in the juicy red stuff (it looked like strong cherry Kool-Aid).
Now there are some spoilers within the box containing one plotpoint and the spoilers for one entire section:
I rented the game out of skepticism, and I think that was a mistake. I need this game, its sooo goood, its like Dark Souls 1 and I can see it eating up all the freetime I have.
