Do they ever explain why the character you play as in Bloodborne, is such a beast? Isn't he just some rando who walks into town looking for a blood cure?
Christopher Fisher
is the blood you get at the start
Charles Powell
ever seen groundhog day or edge of tommorow?
hes basically going through that
hes lived that night thousands of times so he kills effortlessly by the time around he actually succeeds
Easton Ross
I thought the hunter was super special because the blood werewolf gets burnt up.
So that was him beating the curse blood or controlling it i guess. So he has control over it since he can turn his hand into the critical hit thing.
I dunno man. Never really got into the lore.
Nicholas Taylor
that scene was the children of loran/moon presence laying claim over him.
Carter Robinson
Why do the weird hat wearing things still exist after you kill moon man?
Landon Harris
basically this but to elaborate, hes been cought in the moon presence's dream cycle. the moon presence is weak. so it gets humans to do its bidding.
in this scenario. it makes you unkillable as every time you die the night begins again. and it indirectly leads you to killing the great ones that rival the moon presence, it makes you do this so that you become powerful enough for you to become the new dream host. however as we know you can consume 3 umbilical cords which allows you to resist its power with your own.
Blake Sanders
I think it's both. The good hunter has innate resistance to the bestial nature of blood and it attracts the messengers.
Noah Miller
what was special about that blood?
Brody Miller
is magic
Aiden Myers
It's literally the blood of elder gods
Leo King
THE
PALE
BLOOD
Adrian Torres
You don't want a bunch of rabid dogs serving you to be shit dogs.
You want them to be ripped and beastly.
So The Good Hunter is beastly as fuck, at the least compared to plebs.
Lucas Walker
but that's all the blood
Kayden Bailey
Correct, thus why killing makes you stronger. More blood = more strength.
Brandon Perez
lots of lorelets itt
Adam Harris
I wish the comic was better.
Anthony Peterson
So Vaati basically it's like this
At the start of the game your character comes to the city looking for Blood Ministry. Gehrman (or is that just some rando old man?), as the agent of Moon Presence, hooks you up with the Moon Presence/Child of Lorans blood which gives you a connection to an elder one. During the course of the game, you collect more of this power via the 'echoes' or remnants of old one blood found the beasts and/or hunters you kill. This power, and the Moon Presence constantly resurrecting you, is what makes you so strong. It's strongly hinted you aren't the only one whose been bound to such a pact. Ex. Eileen the Crow mentions the dream and says "Tell the little Doll I said hello", and speaks of no longer dreaming. She broke away somehow and rejected the Moon Presences pact.
Whether or not your character avoids going insane due to something inherent to them or the moon presences protection, it's clear that for whatever reason you're doing it's bidding blindly through the game.
Liam Wright
yeah it was really disappointing
>red androgynous hunter and bald kid walk through levels in the game, find a boat, and fuck off
haven't read the newer ones but I can't imagine them being much better.
still better than the dark souls comics though
Adam Walker
At least it gave us some nice memes
Adam Brooks
djura also references the dream, him and eileen were probably in the hunter's dream earlier, and woke up after being killed by gehrman once their tasks were over
Asher Clark
Should we get a sequel?
Ryan Nguyen
>h-he's fast
Matthew Martinez
Interestingly enough when the player is killed by Gerhman they wake up in a normal world with the sun shining, possibly because you kill Mergo and undo the Mensis ritual ie you stop the madness
but what were Eileen and Djur's tasks you think?
Aiden Thompson
Nah, the game was wrapped up nice enough.
Nicholas Clark
Maybe they were unworthy.
Jaxson Rodriguez
dump?
Ryder Thompson
I want more DLCs also I need to pledge before they raise the price again.
Djura clearly went insane and was probably rejected by Moon Presence.
Liam Watson
>Lordran and Beyond
They have some cool BB comics.
David Young
Confederates really are best boys, even if some are borderline blood drunk and merely using their drive to crush vermin as an excuse to kill.
Dylan Foster
HES TOO FAST!
Ryan Johnson
CURSED
BEAST
Daniel Wood
Yes

wots this?
Gavin Lewis
Deracine or something
Cooper Williams
FROM's VR game
Joshua Peterson
Deracine, FROM's vr game, it's an easter egg
Dominic Nelson
The boardgame looks pretty good lads, might help me ease some mates who haven't played Souls into the setting. 16 days left to think about it.
Brandon Thompson
I just want for the pieces, they look great. Unfortunately I can't color for dick.
Lincoln Hughes
>FROM has a VR game in production
VRchads win again!
Ethan Cooper
is this porn?
Gavin Bell
I still don't understand what the fuck the Hunter's Dream is supposed to be.
Blake Nguyen
>in production
It came out six months ago.
David Green
From what I understand, your guy is just some dude dying from a desease, so he's just like "fuck it" at this point. Also if you attack empty handed he does some kung-fu shit so he obviously is trained in combat, to what extent we don't know.
Ayden Edwards
Here we go again:
The Dreams and Nightmares are physical planes of existence, accessed through the consciousness. Read a bit of Lovecraft, my man.
Alexander Anderson
It's your hub.
Josiah Stewart
They better make a Ludwig and Orphan of Kos mini before the end.
They're stuck at Mergo's Loft and the most visually unappealing enemies at the moment
Sebastian Allen
Why is Yharnam so best bros?
Ayden Price
Micolash is kino
Liam Morris
yep
you came to Yharnam for blood ministration as you're suffering from a lethal illness
when that happens, you see a vision of a beast rising from blood and burns as soon as it touches you
this is just visual narrative, it's there to convey that the bestial corruption in the blood won't harm you
you're also blessed with a hunter's mark, which is a rune, and in BB runes are utterings of Great Ones
so essentially, you were chosen by the Moon Presence
Tyler Wilson
Aww gay, I didn't realize it was PSVR exclusive. PCVRchads lose again
Caleb Allen
Why the fuck would you pick a big nightmare apostle over a Hunter's Nightmare+Ludwig set with old hunter mob miniatures. Also needs a fishing hamlet set.
Liam Long
Micolash is great, I was talking about the boring looking attendants
Michael Morgan
well, at least Mergo's design looks fantastic
Jackson Wright
thats not mergo thats its wet nurse, mergo is the one in the crib
Sebastian Murphy
I'm curious to see how they'll handle the model for the broccoli kin transformation
Leo King
How would you improve on Bloodborne's combat? After playing Sekiro I can't really think of any of its developments that you could graft back into Bloodborne's mechanics, but Bb's combat does seem too limited now. I don't think they capitalized on regain or beasthood enough.
Landon Gray
Jumping I guess
Cameron Reyes
All the Victorian fashion and presentation doesn't really suit ninja jumping.
Ayden Rogers
Nothing. Sekiro was its own thing. Could graft anything from sekiro into any souls game? One thing that I might add from sekiro is the verticality to the level design. That's about it.
Lucas Rivera
Maybe not to the extent Sekiro does it but I don't think some sort of verticality would hurt the combat much
Ian Campbell
it would be interesting to have a bloodborne sequel paced more like sekiro, with jumping and exploration around the outsides of buildings perhaps. Bloodborne already has a lot of mobility, bloodborne remade in sekiro's style wouldn't be too different, other than theme and parry mechanics.
What would be really great other than more verticality would be persistent world changes. It was going to be in ds3, dragonrot was a thing in sekiro, and there was some interesting world change stuff with insight in bloodborne, but there's far more that could be done, like enemies transforming more and more into beasts throughout the game, more downsides to insight like being targeted by the amydala, and side effects of using too much blood.
Oliver Hughes
it was all a dream
Oliver Walker
Nope. It's all real.
Ryder Lee
Some of Sekiro's stealth would be a good fit for Bloodborne, it's already sort of in there.
Jack Peterson
Eh, Sekiro's stealth elements are extremely half assed. Like, everything else is fine, but the stealth is very poor.
Jordan White
I think I'd be okay with increased verticality if they stiffened up the ninja movements a bit, you could cut ladders entirely in favor of a special pistol the hunter shoots straight upwards with a rope attached, like Theif's rope arrow. Give the player plenty of points they could grapple up to the rooftops in Yharnam for plunging attacks. Make me feel like Batman.
It's enough for me that it fixes the unpleasing image of running by all the enemies in the level, it makes sense that a ninja would sneak past them.
Samuel Cook
I think it's half assed for a stealth game but as an improvement to the detection system in their other games it's better. Though I don't like cluttering a game with UI elements everywhere like the icon that tells you if you are seen or not, the fact that enemies have a normal status and one where they are suspicious and patrol is a step up in terms of AI. Eavesdropping is always a nice mechanic for making enemies actually feel like real characters too, one of my favorite parts of Thief.
Cooper Lewis
