At first it was my favorite Game of 2015, then it became my favorite PS4 Game, then it was my favorite Game of the Decade, now it has become my favorite Game of all time...
I’m in my 30’s. The last time I liked a game this much was metal gear Solid 1. I didn’t think I could feel like that about a game as an adult. It made me feel like a kid
I don't understand what Gamer are you talking about? A Soul game? Hollow knight? Yakuza like a Dragon? Vigor? Im only 41 and I love so many games! Apex GtaV online Rdr2 online gooooood Games! A was it blood borne gooooood game??? A souls so of course!
You gotta get FightingCowboy or Maximillian dude in the Bloodborne spoilercast. They are huge fans of the game and knows the ins and outs of the game easily. Get someone new and unexpected that also knows the game very well and played it a lot, please. It would be awesome.
As a long time supporter of cowboy I'm not sure he would vibe with these guys tbh. I don't think their styles really match. All I know about Max is the name really so can't speak to him.
I started on my on, was going to give up and now FightingCowboy is my copilot. The first time i have ever used a co pilot for a game but I am 100% glad I did. I love this game. I have always thought I was an average gamer but this game gives me pride especially beating a boss that killed me for 2 hours straight!
I hope we get a spoiler cast on this. Please get Altano like you mentioned but I would also bring back Daniel Krupa from the prepare to try guys. His insight on the lore is great.
Getting into Bloodborne is simple. Just have a game plan on how you wanna build your character. For example I'm a basic player, I'm all about hitting hard. So I level up strength, health so I can take hits when I get up close and stamina so I can swing multiple times. My advice is simply be patient and build your character to compliment your play style 🤷♂️
I subscribed to Playstation Plus for the first time on my PS5. Then I immediately downloaded Bloodborne. I played it before on the PS4, but I struggled like hell. Then I gave up. But now, replaying it again, I appreciate the game more. Knowing what to do makes a world of difference. Game holds up so well despite the years.
I love listening to Greg talk about trophies, it is all SO relatable. Trying to work around buggy trophies & scouring the internet for the handful of other crazy people who seem to have the exact same problem. It's fun to hear that even Greg can't escape this fate for us trophy hunters.
They should talked to the RKG they made a Patreon based off playing these souls games with Bloodborne being one of the best funniest let’s play series.
I started playing BloodBorne about a month ago after putting it down when it came out. Once I could beat the Cleric Beast and be satisfied with the optional boss I moved forward into this scary yet rewarding experience. I'm in the forbidden woods area with plenty to see ahead and behind. Took a two week break recently because I lose track of time when I play this game while just exploring. Watching heyZeusHeresToast speed runs and other videos for tips on stuff I missed is helpful.
This is kinda freaky, I just started Bloodborne again, gonna try working towards the last few trophies for that platinum. Had no idea they were planning on doing this haha.
I find it so cool that the team will play games that they usually wouldn’t play for the sake of conversion in the PlayStation world. This form of PS I Love You feels a lot more community driven and I love it.
Weapon/Armour Tips: Starting Weapon: Pick whatever you want! But two-handed axe heavy attack is like 'Easy Mode'. Slow wind up. But sets up wide range, big damage, and knocks almost everything back. Starting Gun: Recommend the rifle, not the blunderbuss. Countering is snappier and allows for more likely 'reflex' parries, particularly on new enemies that you don't know well yet. Armour: Wear whatever looks the most sexy. Maybe check out elemental resistances, but in general defence is not a big thing in this game. Weapons. Test every attack of every new weapon you get. Find what flows best for you. Also pay attention to Slash Vs. Blunt Vs. Peirce. You will find enemies that are a real slog with one type, but die very quickly against another. It's a good idea to find weapons that possess more than one attack type e.g. Saw Spear(?) has both slash and peirce attacks.
Glad to see everyone succumbing to from software games at kinda funny. Blessing is right community is a huge part of bloodborne. Thats why you gotta use the co-op if there's no one you can chat through it with. Adds so much to the experience
Nah, Vaati is all about high quality focused content. These dudes are doing a variety show.. it just doesn’t mesh well in my mind. Plus I love Vaati dearly and part of his appeal is that he’s on another level. Fireside guys are great too. These guys are more variety and identity politics (on Twitter) and all that shyte that’s best off being far away from gaming. Regardless what your ideology or beliefs are.
Someone should tell Greg to watch some of the Super Beard Bros Dark Souls 3 Let’s Play. One of the finest LPs ever made IMO, and a great way to learn about FromSoft Soulslikes alongside a fun crew. Also, Brett Bayonne is the world’s best sherpa...they go to the lab in that series.
The #1 thing I can say to anyone starting any Souls game for the first time: You have to respect the game. Don’t go in just thinking you can do whatever you want, you have to meet the game on it’s terms and only once you understand it better mechanically can you start rushing things and/or being stylish. Also, EVERYTHING IN THE GAME IS INTENTIONAL. Enemy and item placement, item description, actual game mechanics, literally everything informs the story/lore.
I am so happy that you all are giving BB some love. I absolutely adore this game, its probably my favorite game of all time, and was somewhat heartbroken when KF didn't really give it much coverage when it came out. When Andy started playing it earlier in the year, I had a blast watching the VODs, and was just as excited when Blessing (along with Imran) streamed over the break. It is so fun to watch someone you know experience it for the first time. I really hope Greg enjoys it, but I'm just glad he is giving it a chance. I echo what Blessing said that it isn't for everyone, but seeing Andy and Blessing fall in love with it day after day, made me fall in love with it all over again, and with them riding shotgun, I know Greg is in good hands. I'll be here for as much of it as possible. Please cut out the playthroughs and put them on RUclips.
Greg it was heartbreaking to hear your Cyberpunk 2077 trophy horror story. I also have many gripes about this trophy list and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it. The one glitch trophy I ran into is True Warrior I have well over 100 melee kills because I counted like a crazy person and the trophy never popped.
I ran Chikage the whole way to plat and DLC. In my opinion, it was the perfect weapon for the play style that BB encourages from the get. The risk reward with Chikage’s alt form combined with the health “regen” game mechanic is 10/10
Man, I love Blessing for the Bloodborne talk. I haven't seen enough people explicitly point out (to non-fans) that these games are designed as a social game. The community is meant to play the puzzle that is the lore. The game is designed to learn from other player's mistakes, look for other players advice. And if for some reason that advice doesn't help, there is someone willing to help you. It's a game designed for you to care about, and naturally that makes you want to explore past the game.
Bloodborne is my favorite game of all-time and I'm living for this discussion. So wild to see how this game continues to find new audiences. I especially love the discussion about how Bloodborne requires both patience and agression - I feel like that's at the heart of this game in so many ways. Much love to the KF crew!
Played Bloodborne over a year ago and loved it. Then got into Dark Souls 1 and 3 getting really good at them. Then decided to come back to Bloodborne again just recently thinking it would be piss easy now. Was completely thrown off as it plays so differently and I was surprised I really struggled. It really requires slowly becoming accustomed to the controls. Some say it's easy but I reckon it is hard af.
I love that blessing shouted out the playstation blog fan vote for game of the year. I've seen a lot of people arguing that the critic game of the year is tlou2 and the fan voted game of the year is ghost but when you look into it that's not really the case. It's nice seeing tlou2 get so much love :)
I'm in friends... I've started it before but never got far. I like be Nioh 2 so I'm good with the difficulty. Gonna start out without any guides or helpers. KFF let's do this!
I love this old games spoilercasts idea, is a leads to great conversations! And you guys should get someone from Easy Allies on the Bloodborne Spoilercast if you can. And choose the axe as starting weapon, I think is the real easy mode in Bloodborne. And don't forget to play the DLC!
For some reason that feels like it would be a very strange crossover haha. I don’t think I mean that in a negative way. The idea of it just seems really weird to me.
@@SuperBrentendo89 With Blessing's point about it appealing to his love for fighting games (and the fact that Max is a Bloodborne fiend) it's a no-brainer to me. Plus I'd love to see someone different from the usual IGN/Gamespot contributors on this Spoilercast.
I've played Bloodborne for over 200 hours and love it but I won't be going back until they release a 60 fps remaster. I'll gladly pay $70 for that and I think we'll get it sooner than later. Having said that, here are some tips to get you rolling: (1) Go into the game with a patient mindset. Treat each death as a learning experience, not a setback. This game is all about knowledge and learning systems and mechanics and mastering them. It is not as difficult as it is made out to be once you understand what is going on behind the scenes. (2) Do not worry about losing blood echoes upon death. You will accumulate so many throughout the game, whatever you lose early on is negligible. (3) Choose Lone Survivor as your class to get a little more health. The actual class type has no impact on anything later in the game as all stats are fully customizable. (4) Select the Saw Cleaver and Hunter's Pistol as your starting weapons. These are the easiest weapons to use, Saw Cleaver deals +20% damage to beast type enemies, and you'll have access to all weapons later on. (5) The opening area is among the most difficult environments in the entire game. Do not get discouraged if you have trouble here as you are likely to get swarmed with multiple enemies. The key to combat is to engage one enemy at a time. One technique is to throw pebbles to separate individuals from the pack and "pull" enemies one at a time. (6) Use the environment to your advantage whenever possible while fighting enemies by getting them stuck on objects or removing line of sight from ranged enemies. (7) You must obtain one level of insight in order to level up your stats. You can achieve this by engaging the Cleric Beast or Father Gascoigne in combat or by finding the item "Madman's Knowledge" and consuming it. You'll be unable to level up before obtaining one insight. (8) Prioritize vitality and endurance early on in leveling to increase your health and stamina. (9) As you get more comfortable by playing, try all weapons you can and select whichever weapon has the moveset you prefer. There are no "best" weapons. (10) You can find a full armor set upgrade by following a path off the Great Bridge leading down some ladders into a sewer tunnel before engaging the Cleric Beast. (11) Fortifying your preferred weapon is the best way to increase your damage followed by increasing the associated stat. For example, the base Saw Cleaver has a 'D' rating in strength scaling and an 'E' in dexterity; increasing your strength will give a greater damage boost than increasing your dexterity. Pay attention to the stat scaling grades. (12) Explore, explore, explore. You will be greatly rewarded by finding consumables, equipment, and most importantly shortcuts if you explore everywhere. (13) It is possible to grind levels if you find yourself really feeling weak statistically. This is not necessary but it can help. (14) Spend your first few attempts on a new boss simply learning its moveset. Once you have a feel for an opening to attack you can start to get a strategy together. (15) FromSoftware loves to troll gamers with hidden enemies and traps. Pay attention to enemy placement and attack patterns. You'll quickly realize that your repeated trips through each area will shorten significantly as you memorize the location of everything and how to approach it. You can also feel free to skip things and run right past enemies.
I am so lucky as I just started Bloodborne over break as well and I think I should be able to finish by the time this spoilercast comes along! Stars aligned perfectly! Fear the old blood.
Bloodborne and its dlc are masterpieces. I replayed them last year and i cant believe how perfect they are. Definetely in my top 3, if not number one. Dont skip Dark Souls 1 and 3 and Sekiro though! Cant wait for Elden Ring!!
@@isultansultangaliev5852 Yeah sorry. I didnt play it. I thoight about a lot but it just isnt the same quality. I heard al the horror storys. It also just looks bad(animations bad lighting and just plain unfinished). Not surprising when its not made by the same director
I just got the platinum for Bloodborne a couple days ago. Yaaaay. Something I might recommend for someone that doesn't intend to play it more than once is to use a guide for the NPC's as you'll likely miss a lot on your first run going in blind. Secondly I would look up the optional areas and how to reach them. Lastly look up the item "one third umbilical cord" as its once again something you'll likely miss in one blind run.
Yes!! Blessing finally gets into bloodborne! YES!!!! THE DLC is amazing. Andy, I WAS THE GUY who said KF needed to play soulsbornr games. Now you have!
Blessing did a really good job setting the expectations around story for Bloodborne. It's very passive. You don't get to see much of it first hand. Most of the key moments in its narrative happened prior to your character's participation in the world so it feels, to some, that the story has passed you by and in order to understand it, you do need to piece a lot of it together yourself. In a lot of ways, it feels like you are dropped in the shoes of the character you play as. There is no narrator to get you up to speed. You kind of take on the role of a narrative archeologist, if you want to, finding threads and making inferences about what may have been. It's a very distinct and effective style for the game and I adore it personally, but I'm glad not every game takes the approach and I get why it turns some off.
I played through Demon's Souls Remake with a buddy, each of us screensharing on the PS5 so we could see what the other was doing. It was so good, and I highly recommend Greg doing exactly what Simon Cardy is doing with it
Definitely use a guide for Bloodeborne. I've got the platinum and I ended up finishing the story 3 times because I kept forgetting materials used for the chalice dungeon. Also the endings, I didn't know about the save exploit.
CP77--Regina Jones was doing that to me. She'd go into the closing dialog for her last gig that I finished when I showed up at the next one of hers that I would find. Luckily, I don't care about trophies, so that doesn't matter much to me. What was annoying about it was that I wouldn't know what I was supposed to do on the gig I was approaching without opening up the Journal and reading it. Much more annoying was last night in the "Dream On" gig, apparently I 'followed the cables' in the wrong direction, completely borking the whole gig, but I couldn't tell that I wouldn't be able to complete it until I got to the end. I was doing that same thing with blasting all the dead bodies and throwing them in containers, but 'Follow the Cables' and 'Neutralize the Attackers' would never pop. Had to load am autosave from an hour earlier and will follow the cables in the right direction (thanks reddit!) tonight when I try again 🤬 If only this game was finished... Any other game would've been over for me at this point, but I love what's there so much that I overlook the bugs and just cry when dreaming about what could've been when seeing all the ideas and features that were so obviously there or planned at one time but cut for time (or possibly processing power of last gen).
Play bloodborne aggressive an play co-op with friend's thats how I played it an beat it an the dlc but not all of the chalice dungeons such a blast definitely in my ps4 top ten list for sure
I'm on ng + 9 and let me tell you Ludwig is the only boss that makes me scream however imo it's the best boss fight in the game. Great sound track too.
Pro Tip for Bloodborne: The armour stats aren't important, the resistances to things like poison and fire and magic damage are! You should just Fashion Souls it and wear what you like the most, swapping out your gear for different resistances when needed for a boss or area that requires it.
Hey Bless, I used to be in the same boat as you beard wise. What I did was not shave it (Greg's theory is a myth) and I bought beard oil, beard wash, beard conditioner, and a beard brush. Cremo makes good natural products and are sold everywhere. I used the oil every day and conditioner every other day and the wash about 2 times a week, brushed it every morning and night and eventually my beard became a lot more full! I think its really about making sure your pores and face is taken care of and the hair will grow in as a result of that. Also, these products make your beard super soft and takes away itchiness which is amazing! Not sure if youll even read this, but figured id give you some tips haha
I first played Dark Souls in March of 2020 cause I was bored being quarantined. Since then, have beaten DS 1, 2, 3, Bloodborne, and am now working through Demon's Souls Remake. I own Sekiro, and am looking forward to Elden Ring. From Software has simultaneously elevated and destroyed gaming for me. the best games around!
Best advice for Bloodborne? Overlevel. Go to Yharnam... kill everything that exists... repeat. Then, once a new area opens, go there... kill everything that exists...repeat. I rarely fell under like 500 blood vials and bullets. Just grind and grind some more. Not only will you constantly level up, but the mechanics of the game will become second nature, so you'll never feel too overwhelmed by any boss or area. Happy hoonting! :0)
Tip 1: Openly pray, hope, then DEMAND that somebody would freaking upres/fix the framerate for BB...then proceed to replay it despite your eyeballs suffering after playing the rest of the Souls-like Fromsoftware titles in 60FPS.
The beard hairs seem “fuller” when you shaved because they are all cut in the same sharp angle at the tips. Natural hairs have various tips (some splintered, some very thin, etc). That’s why it looks fuller
Thank God it's 2015 and we're getting Kinda Funny Bloodborne content 😌 Man, these dank Yharnam nugs are hitting me me weird, why is Colin so much darker? 🤔
You love to see it folks! BB is easily one of the best games every made, good to see the KFBF community embrace it and at least give it a chance. Just have patience, don't worry about dying. The true experience/leveling up is learning the game and environment, not souls. You'll lose souls, but they'll be just as easily gained back. Good luck, new hunters!
Oh man, as a trophy hunter I really feel Greg's pain on his Cyberpunk/Dead Island stories. For me it was Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The "Completionist" trophy bugged on a side quest that for some idiotic reason had two objectives that would be credited on completion. The game gave me credit for one objective but not the other, and I didn't realize it until I finished the game 30 hours later at 99.8%. Since I would have to redo literally everything in the game on a new file to get the trophy I was like nope, screw it.
Yup. When games break on you for the last trophy... Happened to me in a multitude of games. One I can still recal is Horizon Zero Dawn. Had to start a new game.
Sadly, the amount of re-work needed to make the game run at 60fps pushes it out of the realm of a simple update. Hopefully it'll get a remake (fingers crossed it's not $70).
As a watcher of this channel, it's so fascinating to hear them talk about Bloodborne. For Greg's playthrough, I would want him to have either Maximillion Dude or Vaati to be there with him to give him the best experience of the game overall.
1. You will die. A lot. Try to not let it get to you. 2. Learn something everytime you die. Memorize patterns and positions. Enemies are always in the same areas and do the same things. 3. No heroics. Start by trying to deal with one enemy at a time. If you are overwhelmed, there's no shame in running away.
Bloodborne was overlooked in goty discussions in 2015 and I dont think in hindsight anyone would argue that it wasn't easily goty, mgs5 would be a close second that year for me, while witcher 3 feels like with age its glamor wears off.
I started the game last year for probably the 3rd time and it finally clicked. I really enjoyed the slow crawl through the game. However, I finally hard quit on Rom the Vacuous Spider...fuck that boss.
So with hair its thicker the closer you get to the root. So when you shave yh it is thicker. But after few days it does wear down back to the original thickness and go back to how it used to be.
At first it was my favorite Game of 2015, then it became my favorite PS4 Game, then it was my favorite Game of the Decade, now it has become my favorite Game of all time...
I’m in my 30’s. The last time I liked a game this much was metal gear
Solid 1. I didn’t think I could feel like that about a game as an adult. It made me feel like a kid

well said

I have never finished the game but you guys are getting me super hype on it! I'm going to get the DLC and start the game over.
I've played Bloodborne for over 200 hours and love it but I won't be going back until they release a 60 fps remaster. I'll gladly pay $70 for that and I think we'll get it sooner than later.
Having said that, here are some tips to get you rolling:
(1) Go into the game with a patient mindset. Treat each death as a learning experience, not a setback. This game is all about knowledge and learning systems and mechanics and mastering them. It is not as difficult as it is made out to be once you understand what is going on behind the scenes.
(2) Do not worry about losing blood echoes upon death. You will accumulate so many throughout the game, whatever you lose early on is negligible.
(3) Choose Lone Survivor as your class to get a little more health. The actual class type has no impact on anything later in the game as all stats are fully customizable.
(4) Select the Saw Cleaver and Hunter's Pistol as your starting weapons. These are the easiest weapons to use, Saw Cleaver deals +20% damage to beast type enemies, and you'll have access to all weapons later on.
(5) The opening area is among the most difficult environments in the entire game. Do not get discouraged if you have trouble here as you are likely to get swarmed with multiple enemies. The key to combat is to engage one enemy at a time. One technique is to throw pebbles to separate individuals from the pack and "pull" enemies one at a time.
(6) Use the environment to your advantage whenever possible while fighting enemies by getting them stuck on objects or removing line of sight from ranged enemies.
(7) You must obtain one level of insight in order to level up your stats. You can achieve this by engaging the Cleric Beast or Father Gascoigne in combat or by finding the item "Madman's Knowledge" and consuming it. You'll be unable to level up before obtaining one insight.
(8) Prioritize vitality and endurance early on in leveling to increase your health and stamina.
(9) As you get more comfortable by playing, try all weapons you can and select whichever weapon has the moveset you prefer. There are no "best" weapons.
(10) You can find a full armor set upgrade by following a path off the Great Bridge leading down some ladders into a sewer tunnel before engaging the Cleric Beast.
(11) Fortifying your preferred weapon is the best way to increase your damage followed by increasing the associated stat. For example, the base Saw Cleaver has a 'D' rating in strength scaling and an 'E' in dexterity; increasing your strength will give a greater damage boost than increasing your dexterity. Pay attention to the stat scaling grades.
(12) Explore, explore, explore. You will be greatly rewarded by finding consumables, equipment, and most importantly shortcuts if you explore everywhere.
(13) It is possible to grind levels if you find yourself really feeling weak statistically. This is not necessary but it can help.
(14) Spend your first few attempts on a new boss simply learning its moveset. Once you have a feel for an opening to attack you can start to get a strategy together.
(15) FromSoftware loves to troll gamers with hidden enemies and traps. Pay attention to enemy placement and attack patterns. You'll quickly realize that your repeated trips through each area will shorten significantly as you memorize the location of everything and how to approach it. You can also feel free to skip things and run right past enemies.
To quote Gherman: "Just go out there and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good".
As a Nigerian, I can confirm Blessings comment about growing facial hair as factual lol
Bloodborne is such a great game, that it just feels like it has always been a part of the gaming "canon."
A classic in the genre indeed.
I was starting to get the shakes from no KFGD/PS I love you XOXO content for the last two weeks so happy to see this new episode drop in the new year.
I am so lucky as I just started Bloodborne over break as well and I think I should be able to finish by the time this spoilercast comes along! Stars aligned perfectly! Fear the old blood.
Bloodborne and its dlc are masterpieces. I replayed them last year and i cant believe how perfect they are. Definetely in my top 3, if not number one. Dont skip Dark Souls 1 and 3 and Sekiro though!
Cant wait for Elden Ring!!
I love the not so subtle DS2 shade in this comment xD
@@isultansultangaliev5852 Yeah sorry. I didnt play it. I thoight about a lot but it just isnt the same quality. I heard al the horror storys. It also just looks bad(animations bad lighting and just plain unfinished). Not surprising when its not made by the same director
I just got the platinum for Bloodborne a couple days ago. Yaaaay. Something I might recommend for someone that doesn't intend to play it more than once is to use a guide for the NPC's as you'll likely miss a lot on your first run going in blind. Secondly I would look up the optional areas and how to reach them. Lastly look up the item "one third umbilical cord" as its once again something you'll likely miss in one blind run.
Yes!! Blessing finally gets into bloodborne! YES!!!! THE DLC is amazing.
Andy, I WAS THE GUY who said KF needed to play soulsbornr games. Now you have!
Need to platinum Bloodborne once, just platinuming DS3 right now and it's my first From Software platinum, actually first ever. It's doable!
12:59 Was that a sneaky 21 Savage reference by Blessing?? 😂
Nigerian here and I agree. Great episode guys.
This makes me so happy.
Blessing did a really good job setting the expectations around story for Bloodborne. It's very passive. You don't get to see much of it first hand. Most of the key moments in its narrative happened prior to your character's participation in the world so it feels, to some, that the story has passed you by and in order to understand it, you do need to piece a lot of it together yourself.
In a lot of ways, it feels like you are dropped in the shoes of the character you play as. There is no narrator to get you up to speed. You kind of take on the role of a narrative archeologist, if you want to, finding threads and making inferences about what may have been. It's a very distinct and effective style for the game and I adore it personally, but I'm glad not every game takes the approach and I get why it turns some off.
Starting 2021 right. Looking forward to Greg’s progress.
Greg is definitely wearing Wonder Woman bracelets... its like a post credits easter egg tying everything to another piece of content!!
Haha! Look at him now. Blessing just evolved.
Now they need to play Outer Wilds. It got so overlooked. Maybe Greg will be in the mood this time.
I played through Demon's Souls Remake with a buddy, each of us screensharing on the PS5 so we could see what the other was doing. It was so good, and I highly recommend Greg doing exactly what Simon Cardy is doing with it
Definitely use a guide for Bloodeborne. I've got the platinum and I ended up finishing the story 3 times because I kept forgetting materials used for the chalice dungeon. Also the endings, I didn't know about the save exploit.
CP77--Regina Jones was doing that to me. She'd go into the closing dialog for her last gig that I finished when I showed up at the next one of hers that I would find. Luckily, I don't care about trophies, so that doesn't matter much to me. What was annoying about it was that I wouldn't know what I was supposed to do on the gig I was approaching without opening up the Journal and reading it.
Much more annoying was last night in the "Dream On" gig, apparently I 'followed the cables' in the wrong direction, completely borking the whole gig, but I couldn't tell that I wouldn't be able to complete it until I got to the end. I was doing that same thing with blasting all the dead bodies and throwing them in containers, but 'Follow the Cables' and 'Neutralize the Attackers' would never pop. Had to load am autosave from an hour earlier and will follow the cables in the right direction (thanks reddit!) tonight when I try again 🤬
If only this game was finished... Any other game would've been over for me at this point, but I love what's there so much that I overlook the bugs and just cry when dreaming about what could've been when seeing all the ideas and features that were so obviously there or planned at one time but cut for time (or possibly processing power of last gen).
Play bloodborne aggressive an play co-op with friend's thats how I played it an beat it an the dlc but not all of the chalice dungeons such a blast definitely in my ps4 top ten list for sure
I was thirsty and you have provided nourishment. 🙏 Thank you. Welcome back.
I searched this up last night just to wake to up you guys posting it the next day ❤️👌🏾
I'm on ng + 9 and let me tell you Ludwig is the only boss that makes me scream however imo it's the best boss fight in the game. Great sound track too.
Pro Tip for Bloodborne: The armour stats aren't important, the resistances to things like poison and fire and magic damage are! You should just Fashion Souls it and wear what you like the most, swapping out your gear for different resistances when needed for a boss or area that requires it.
A Bloodborne episode with Tam and Altano aboard would be amazing! Please do it after you beat the game.
Hey Bless, I used to be in the same boat as you beard wise. What I did was not shave it (Greg's theory is a myth) and I bought beard oil, beard wash, beard conditioner, and a beard brush. Cremo makes good natural products and are sold everywhere. I used the oil every day and conditioner every other day and the wash about 2 times a week, brushed it every morning and night and eventually my beard became a lot more full! I think its really about making sure your pores and face is taken care of and the hair will grow in as a result of that. Also, these products make your beard super soft and takes away itchiness which is amazing! Not sure if youll even read this, but figured id give you some tips haha
I first played Dark Souls in March of 2020 cause I was bored being quarantined. Since then, have beaten DS 1, 2, 3, Bloodborne, and am now working through Demon's Souls Remake. I own Sekiro, and am looking forward to Elden Ring. From Software has simultaneously elevated and destroyed gaming for me. the best games around!
2021 but still rockin 720p
We back baby. Happy New Year!
All this talk about blood borne makes me want to start it up again. This time though I’ll power through the beginning hours.
Best advice for Bloodborne? Overlevel. Go to Yharnam... kill everything that exists... repeat. Then, once a new area opens, go there... kill everything that exists...repeat. I rarely fell under like 500 blood vials and bullets. Just grind and grind some more. Not only will you constantly level up, but the mechanics of the game will become second nature, so you'll never feel too overwhelmed by any boss or area. Happy hoonting! :0)
Not the kind of episode title I would expect from the Kinda Funny crew, a pleasant surprise.
Tip 1: Openly pray, hope, then DEMAND that somebody would freaking upres/fix the framerate for BB...then proceed to replay it despite your eyeballs suffering after playing the rest of the Souls-like Fromsoftware titles in 60FPS.
I finally properly started bloodborne 2 days ago
The beard hairs seem “fuller” when you shaved because they are all cut in the same sharp angle at the tips. Natural hairs have various tips (some splintered, some very thin, etc). That’s why it looks fuller
Tamoor nails it with his comments.
I’d suggest getting Krupa back on for the spoilercast.
Bugsnax uses the dual sense controller pretty well
Thank God it's 2015 and we're getting Kinda Funny Bloodborne content 😌
Man, these dank Yharnam nugs are hitting me me weird, why is Colin so much darker? 🤔
I would say have a guide to look through if you get stuck but try to play it blind
You love to see it folks! BB is easily one of the best games every made, good to see the KFBF community embrace it and at least give it a chance. Just have patience, don't worry about dying. The true experience/leveling up is learning the game and environment, not souls. You'll lose souls, but they'll be just as easily gained back.
Good luck, new hunters!
The Bloodborne resurgence is here, let's gooooooooooooo
Greg you're right about the beards, the more you shave the better it grows back, this is why you're the best, greg #1
wow, finally! clicked because of Bloodborne :D
here's your gamer card back ;)
Oh man, as a trophy hunter I really feel Greg's pain on his Cyberpunk/Dead Island stories.
For me it was Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The "Completionist" trophy bugged on a side quest that for some idiotic reason had two objectives that would be credited on completion. The game gave me credit for one objective but not the other, and I didn't realize it until I finished the game 30 hours later at 99.8%. Since I would have to redo literally everything in the game on a new file to get the trophy I was like nope, screw it.
How to start Bloodborne? Watch fightin cowboys walkthrough. I cannot recommend it enough.
About damn time!
Yup. When games break on you for the last trophy... Happened to me in a multitude of games. One I can still recal is Horizon Zero Dawn. Had to start a new game.
Bloodborne needs a 60 fps update. As soon as it happens, I'll replay it.
Sadly, the amount of re-work needed to make the game run at 60fps pushes it out of the realm of a simple update. Hopefully it'll get a remake (fingers crossed it's not $70).
Man I've been debating starting Bloodborne too. Now I have to lol.
As a watcher of this channel, it's so fascinating to hear them talk about Bloodborne. For Greg's playthrough, I would want him to have either Maximillion Dude or Vaati to be there with him to give him the best experience of the game overall.
Greg betraying Austin with the left right left right t shirt
Like Austin has never betrayed Greg...Johnny Ace, ‘nuff said
Bless it does work, keep shaving it and it will be thicker
Didn't know snowbike mike got hired on fulltime LFG
I missed you guys
1. You will die. A lot. Try to not let it get to you.
2. Learn something everytime you die. Memorize patterns and positions. Enemies are always in the same areas and do the same things.
3. No heroics. Start by trying to deal with one enemy at a time. If you are overwhelmed, there's no shame in running away.
Bloodborne was overlooked in goty discussions in 2015 and I dont think in hindsight anyone would argue that it wasn't easily goty, mgs5 would be a close second that year for me, while witcher 3 feels like with age its glamor wears off.
Future Class!!!
I started the game last year for probably the 3rd time and it finally clicked. I really enjoyed the slow crawl through the game. However, I finally hard quit on Rom the Vacuous Spider...fuck that boss.
So with hair its thicker the closer you get to the root. So when you shave yh it is thicker. But after few days it does wear down back to the original thickness and go back to how it used to be.
Please get Brian and Tamoor both on the Bloodborne spoilercast!
BLOODBORNE!!!
