Bloodborne podcast review

The Quit or Continue regulars gather round to talk some Bloodborne.

Listen in as they attempt to explain what exactly Bloodborne's all about before dissecting all that's good and bad about it. And, most importantly of all, try to work out when it's safe to go for a piss in a game that doesn't have a pause button.

I hate Rom. Of all the 20 foot long spiders in the world, he's the worst.

ninsigma3254d ago

He was fairly annoying alright. Just run in for a couple hits and then run out before getting swarmed by stupidly powerful spiders! Oh hey, is that falling ice?? Better dodge that as well!

nix3254d ago (Edited 3254d ago )

The small spiders can be killed in almost one shot if you hit their backs, not their front part which is a shield.

As for the falling meteors, stand in one place. If you run, you get hit 90 percent of the time. If you don't run you don't get hit 90 percent of the time.

That's how i managed that stage.

ninsigma3254d ago

Didn't think about hitting em from behind.
I didn't run, I used dodge instead, the meteors couldn't keep up with me most of the time that way. Never the less, one of the more difficult fights for me. I didn't find many of the bosses particularly hard but rom wrecked my head a bit. I wouldn't put the controller down until I had him beat xD

darren_poolies3254d ago

I thought ROM was piss, just before I fought him my friend was saying it was the hardest fight he's done so far. But then I killed him on my first try. Just hit him as much as you can before he first disappears. Then just completely ignore all the spiders, run in, two/three hits, run out.

ninsigma3254d ago (Edited 3254d ago )

@darren
that was exactly my strategy but it took me a while to get it right.
Seems like everyone struggled in different places. Everyone was raving about father Gascoigne being super hard but I beat him easily with the axe starter weapon. That makes the game even more interesting imo :D

Edit:
It means everyones journey is different :)

I Wish More Games Embraced FromSoft's Approach To Difficulty

Danish from eXputer: "FromSoftware's unique approach to difficulty in their games allows players to customize their own experience, which is really cool."

"Souls Like" is a literal genre.

I'd just like to point out that Rise of the Ronin which recently released is in large part a Souls Like as is the upcoming Stellar Blade. And both games have 60 FPS.

ShwaaMan12d ago

More? Like every other game in the last
5 years has “Souls” elements or difficulty. I think we need to pump the brakes a bit Jesus they don’t all the the “grind or die”/“get good” mentality.

exputers12d ago

I would advise reading the article. What you're saying is not the point we tried to make.

GhostScholar12d ago

Yeah let’s have only souls likes 🙄

The 7 Best Souls-Like Games - Mastering the Challenge

The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?

toxic-inferno18d ago

Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.

kevco3318d ago

Still DS1? You don't feel it's been surpassed yet?

Demon's Souls has the remake of course, but DS1 has surely been outdated?

Smellsforfree18d ago

I think that the DS1 remake is better looking than DS2. The interior lighting matched with the low resolution textures in DS2 is very garish, IMO.

Besides graphics, what do you mean by DS1 being "outdated"? I'm someone who played through Elden Ring and just recently played through the DS series, and as far as gameplay went, there were all very similar.

Cacabunga18d ago

I haven’t played many but Bloodborne and NIOH1 are on top of my list.. had a blast with these 2

toxic-inferno18d ago

For world design and interconnectedness (that's a word, right?) DS1 is yet to be beaten.
