Apologies for lack of spoiler. I thought you were reading the guides for all this stuff.

Yeah I'm reading guides if I come upon items / situations I'm curious about. Want to read about the lore etc before I forget about it all. Just spoilering in case there's anyone left that hasn't played this.
I also read about items in areas I've just done, to see if I should stick around a bit longer and go after them. If I happen to read information about future events, so be it.

This game is just so weird. Just reading about the Amyg... stuff and apparently you can
Think all this is pretty amazing tbh, looping around the forest

Running around, I've just run into crow woman - not so friendly now.

First spoiler is also where you can get one of the items you need for True Last Boss, yeah?

Didn't know that, and I don't want to happen what happened to mrsmr2. Will read up on it a bit. Although I'm scared of going after the True Last Boss.
.

The last true boss is actually easier that the two preceding bosses. There is of course player speculation as to why this is re the lore, and also the easiness of bosses is subjective...

So Kos, time to introduce a new thing to mess with you being locked on - his charge attack that drags you along finishing with him going behind you to make the camera freak out momentarily.

The continued rubbishness from a game that requires lock on to be playable yet does things to mess with you when you are locked on.

Does Sekiro have an auto rotating camera?

Oh.

And just had a quick search - same issues: rubbish when close to a wall and autorotating.

So that's out.

Not in the mood for Kos so went and did - 2nd attempt.
So that's that done.

Yeah, but Nina has read a lot about the game from guides - knows the areas, bosses, what to do with npcs, etc. I do apologise (2nd time today ) if Nina didn't know about that.

Rom is a pain. Thanks to the people who told me earlier how to run in this game, it's been very helpful.

Feel like I've had close to 10 runs by now, gonna take a break and farm echoes for blood vials. Vial supply has gone from 100+ to 50

Yeah I'm using the Tonitrus, it's +6 but I might have really low arcane. I'm definitely not one shotting the small ones as guides seem to suggest it should do.

I can get it to the (I assume) last phase most times, unless unfortunate events happen. There's a lot of crazy strategies for this one it seems, but I feel like Tonitrus and patience should give me a win, and I don't hate the fight. Quick to get to as well.

Still gonna grind the flies outside of the building a bit more, properly get one more point in strength, maybe arcane if that really boosts a lot.
I can see why people play this over and over again, with different stat distribution and play styles.

Also saw someone suggest switching the L1 and O buttons, so L1 would be run and O trick weapon switch. I feel like it might be too late in the game to try that, but just imagine being able to control the camera and run at the same time! I'm playing this without the lock on, so I need to adjust camera myself. Was joking to B that From games (at least this and Sekiro) should have a co-op mode where player 2 would just be the camera operator. Would work better than the default.

Not sure if you can switch the buttons in game or if that's in the PlayStation settings, I haven't looked myself. Just saw it on reddit.

According to B this is just a standard orbit camera, which will change position when it hits a collision box. The laziest type of camera to make. At least, that's what he says.

Builds: I'm not sure how crazy they can get in Bloodborne, but since I've encountered a few weapons I can't equip because some stats are too low, and Curtis mentioning at some point he had some really fun characters going, I assumed you could do some pretty fun stuff if you really focused on leveling certain stats.

My next From game will probably be Sekiro, as we have that now, and then either Demons Souls remake when we get a PS5, or I might get Dark Souls for the Switch. Think it's supposed to run fine.

Probably need to play Bayonetta or similar after this though, or something 2d. Games where the camera isn't an extra enemy.

PLAY SEKRIO NINA IT IS AMAZING (except for one or two bosses/enemies where the camera can be tricksy)

I will, at some point, but need to play something different in between Bloodbone and Sekiro, already have Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town on the go for handheld gaming to reduce stress levels.

Think B has a different opinion on the bosses etc though, I'm surprised he's still playing. I don't think I've seen him so annoyed with a game before.

Might take a look at the accessibility options, being able to run and control camera sounds amazing! Which is my main problem with Rom, I'm doing the unlocked running around to avoid the blasts, but it's hard to keep track of him when doing that, in case he does another right after, or one of the small spiders is jumping at you.

We have it on PC. Apart from some weird glitch with the resolution which makes everything in Windows purple after playing, it seems fine.

Maybe this time you won't kneel so readily to OoK, also
