Fair enough lol... I don't want to spoil much though....so I'll just give some tidbits....

- You can play online or offline, I would assume this means no invasions or coop with offline.

- There is a SHIT TON of character customization!

- The game is obviously very hard, took me 4 hours to get to the 1st boss and I can't even beat it. It would normally take me 5 min to get this far in a game.

- Performance is solid, 30fps stays strong but a few areas in the very begging felt a bit choppy.

- Aliasing is absolutely awful in certain areas and very noticeable.

- The game does NOT hold your hand, you are basically on your own to figure out where to go, what to you, and how to use certain things/controls...

Uhm.. I'm afraid to spoil anything else, so this is it for now unless you guys want to know something specific.

Game is good though, 9/10 for me. Just VERY VERY hard, or I suck terribly lol.

So this is harder than DS? Can you "cheat" in the same way for it to get easier (leveling up by killing respawns?)

Too bad abot the aliasing, but it was very noticeable in the videos too. really hate that in console games, i think i'd even prefer half the resolution but AA, if i could choose.. it's so distracting... maybe in 2050 consoles will have proper AA (obviously with the limit of 30 FPS Wink )

I cant compare it to DS since I've never played, but it's very difficult for me, I'm starting get frustrated that I can't even beat the first area boss lol. Not sure about cheating the system yet, not far enough into the game even...

AA is a lot worse in some spots than others, but very noticeable outdoors.

tw1st write some more 1st impressions if you can, how is it in terms of locations - all city or do they vary abit (obviously you seen only part of it but how does it look so far?). Also how is gfx, decent despite the shitty AA? Did you find many items or are they scarce? Do mobs vary abit or do you encounter some ones frequently?

Sure.

- Location is great, and works very good with the game. The atmosphere and look of Yarman (spelling?) is perfect, the sounds/screams/bells/ambience you hear while walking around are perfectly creepy.

- The monsters/ads in the game are fantastic and very original, won't say more as to not spoil.... Ive fought/killed some very scary shit so far....

- You are always on the look out, if you take even one second to relax all of a sudden some fucker jumps out at you and kills you. There is no down time, be on the up and always attentive.

- So far I've been in the city for the most part, but there are some areas where you go inside of a building and walk through hallways/stairs/rooms...etc

- There are A LOT of stats and things to look at, very overwhelming at the moment since I don't know what everything does yet. There is a help menu though that will explain every thing to you if need be.

- I haven't come across any weapons yet, but there is stuff the drops off the mobs all the time. Healing potions, molotov cocktails, ammo, stuff for fortifying weapons, and plenty of other items you can use to your advantage.

- Graphics are decent, nothing amazing, but not terrible either. I've definitely been in some parts of the city where I look at buildings that look like complete shit ps2 textures. For the most part though they are very good.

- You can set a password for coop so only others with the same pass can join you, you set it once in the menu and leave it. Mine is HAWKMOON Smile

More later, going to play in about 30 minutes and try to beat that fucking boss again. I really wish coop was already working cause I desperately need some help here guys.

I am not strong enough

You never played Demon/Dark Souls? I'm surprised. I can imagine how confusing all those stats are. I was like that for ages when I first got my Korean import of Demon Souls on PS3 lol. Are there any difficulty settings to choose from in Bloodborne? I can't wait to begin preloading Very Happy

So I bought the game on the US PSN but I am in the UK. I have preloaded the game so its fully installed but now I need to wait to play it. On my UK PSN login the time remaining is 3 days and 19 hours which would be upto Friday 27th March when the game releases in the UK but on my US login the time remaining is 23 hours which would be upto Tuesday 24th March when the game releases in the US. Do I actually have to wait 3 days 19 hours or can I play in 23 hours? Im confused lol.

Edit: Actually thinking about it I bought Dying Light on the US PSN store and I seem to remember that being available at 5AM UK time which must have been midnight in the US. I got to play it for 1 hour before I went to bed so I think Ill be playing Bloodborne at 5AM tomorrow morning for 1 hour before I goto bed too but 1 hour is better than no time at all lol.

Yes, loading times are fucking awful, it's actually made me stop playing for the moment...

I'm so bad at this game guys, I can't beat the first boss, and I'm stuck running around killing ads to level my guy a bit more, it sucks when you die and then have to wait 40 seconds to try again. I want to die, and reload the checkpoint quickly so I can give it another shot.

Going to try again tonight, but I will need some serious help with coop because I can't do this alone Sad

i did the first part and boss solo in the beta, its tough, but with some practice you ll get it done.
the souls games rely more on actual twitch skills than grind, instead of grinding right now you would get ahead faster by just retrying the boss over and over until you get his attacks and your timing down so perfectly that he cant touch you.
btw in the beta there was a shortcut to the save point/ bonfire, just a little bit before the boss, that way you can get to him fairly quickly without having to go through all the mobs again.

but 40 seconds loading time, jesus thats alot.
maybe it takes long because its trying to connect to the servers every time so hopefully once its online it will be better.

hopefully Sad

@The_Zeel

Well, I'm playing offline (there is also an online mode) and the loading times are still very high. This right now is my main problem with the game.

@nightfox

Couldn't say if it has that same vibe as this is my first game, but I will say they created a very awesome world/city. I think you guys will very much enjoy it Smile

I'm going to be asking for a lot of help tomorrow haha, for those willing to help ofcourse. Not sure how you use coop summing bells yet...

*edit*

hmm I wonder if share play works yet....

well when i played the beta in november there certainly werent any long loading times, a few seconds only. i would definitely remember if i had to wait 40 seconds, as i get easilly annoyed with loading times.

on ps4 there is no difference between retail and digital, retail disc is the same as digital, with the game being fully installed and just checking the disc to start the game.

The_Zeel: the game could have been still installing in background although seems like tw1st had been playing it for a while now, enough for the game to be installed already i guess.

i still think it may be that its constantly checking for servers to connect to but since there is no online yet, it fails. the beta was online and there werent any long loading times.

well i just checked a few streams from the alpha/beta and even then some ppl had 40 seconds loading times, so its definitely not a new thing and apparently doesnt have anything to do with being online or not. Neutral
