One day when Telkom decides to fix my line, I'll def co-op. I'd like to start a fresh once I have internet again, I feel this funny "emptiness" when I play Bloodborne without internet

Lol, thing about co op with strangers I don't want someone joining and just missioning without me so hence why I wanna do it with mates who know as much as I do. More fun that way I think.

I think the game was intended for single player, the online aspect got put in as a way for players to help or hinder a user. It's far easier to invade a world than it is to co-op with a friend and this is because the developers probably want to stack the odds against the player and in an effort to not make it totally one sided they allowed for a player to be able to summon help. The co-op is meant for short bursts not hours and hours on gameplay, that is easily seen through the way the system works. They don't want you running the whole game with someone they want to you to do as much as you can on your own. It's also quite evident in that the majority of summons happen next to boss areas and not right at the start of a level. Doesn't mean they not there but you'll have a far easier time summoning next to a boss than at the start of a level.

@ DP: Any bosses you've come across, harder than these 2?

Nope, funnily enough I never had any issue with these 2 but I also didn't have a Drake Sword or Lightning Spear either lol, them noob traps. The best thing about the bosses in Bloodborne is the designs, sadly there isn't much of a difficulty factor to any of them. They are all fairly straight forward. I can see how the Shadows boss fight could be very difficult depending on the route you take, if you get there early on at a low level they will give you a hard time, other than that the majority of the bosses I beat on my first go. I find the NPC's to be a lot harder than the actual bosses.

Well...I'd have to lie if I said I beat them on my own, Smough and Ornstein was the only Boss fight still today that I haven't been able to Solo

I find the dual guardians to be infinitely more difficult that O&S

Finally got past Father Gascoine (without using the music box) but it was tough as nails.

Then I went into the new area and was destroyed by some invisible warping freaking demon. WTF

When you have 40 insight you will be able to see the invisible enemies.

I didn't even know there WERE invisible enemies. And that thing was a one hit kill out of nowhere.

I'm now at Yahar'gul, Unseen Village. Thus far my favourite area in terms of difficulty. I cleared most areas and then got to The Dark Beast Paarl. I got him down half way before he killed me. I noticed this boss is also one that you shouldn't keep too much distance between yourself and him, I did well, till I decided to get some space He struggles to do damage to you when you too close to him But when you have space between you and him, he destroys you

Reminds me of the Dark Souls Sif Boss fight, very similar

Time for New Game+ for me

^^Nice one Ikarix!!! I'm restarting tonight! My internet she's working again

My gun build wrecks everything:











Samesies I want to troll online with this costume, it would be great if the Doll look came as a character preset

Well...my 1st gripe with this game is the Bell System, why they didn't just go with the soap stone system like in Souls games is beyond me. Took me 15 minutes (on my new char) to FINALLY get someone to join me, I just wanted to see what co-op is like and how it works. Although the dude who joined me died quicker than it took him to even start...I decided to try again...I think I would still be waiting for someone to join me

I decided to google to see if other ppl are having the same issue, low and behold it seems to be an issue for many ppl. Someone suggested restarting the PS4 and router...I did, I rang my bell again and ended up going to sleep as standing doing nothing for an hour is also not fun

I tried the co op at the second boss, helped about 5 people in the space of 10 minutes so I haven't encountered that problem yet.

The Beckoning Bell is the issue, not the Resonant Bell I also joined other players in less than 1 minute each time I rang the Resonant bell, but when I ring the Beckoning Bell I wait forever for someone. You can even go google it...lots of ppl are having this issue

Look its not a major...I play Solo most the time anyway...I just tried it last night to see how it works, all I can say is, 1st impression didn't do much good for the game Who knows, maybe when I really need it, it'll work

I see, yeah haven't used the beckoning bell myself, gonna be trying that with mates over the long weekend.

Would think it's better to be as close to the same area as possible and ringing the bells in close succession.

I did join one guy who was already mid fight and as I walked through the fog, he died.

Was like... aw!

It's always easy to join someone else, but once you need help, nothing happens. The matchmaking system feels a bit flawed.
I've played it again last night, helped a few people with Vicar Amelia, but there is none who will help me. I can fight it myself, but it feels like it's just too powerful when I fight.
Gonna play it again next week.

I'm at the end of the game but read that as soon as you make your final decision the game goes straight into NG+ so I'm am just staying in NG for now. I don't want to get to NG+ and have to grind through the game again in order to get available materials for Chalice Dungeons. That was the worst thing about NG+ was merchants resetting their stash.

I made the same mistake. But if you make the right decision at the end. You get a really really awesome weapon
