is there literally any point in using a different weapon?
>>744688470Well yes you see when you reach endgame level range and have approximately 8% of the content remaining you get an even cooler big sword
DLC has better weapons but for base game, no.
Yeah, you want to play Bloodborne and not better-Dark Souls.
cant decide if I like BB, Sekiro or Elden Ring the best.>all 3 have gorgeous artstyles and wildly different settings that all look beautiful>BB has the best feeling combat, but Sekiro is more skill demanding/rewarding and ER has the most freedom and variety>BB coolest weapon designs for sure>Sekiro has the most coherent/best story because its not typical 2cryptic shit>ER has the best level design at its peak and an epic scale of content>Sekiro and BB are paced way better however>Sekiro has the best boss fights but no DLC hurts it>BB is the game I want to replay the mostits so close its hard to say. The first half of DS1 would be up there too but post-londo is too shit for me to put it in the same rank
>>744688470oops posted wrong image
I want to switch to pizza cutter but I foolishly spec'd into a quality build so I feel like Im too nerfed to make it my main now.
>edgy game about blood>not using the edgy blood katanaWhy even play the game then?

Saw Cleaver is both stronger and more fun to use, the other weapons never stood a chance.
>>744690687I know saw cleaver is better but I would run Kirkhammer. It's just too satisfying.
ENTER
>>744691228its great but so boring. the transform is useless.
>>744688470Threaded cane is more fun and way way cooler so yeah.
for me, its the "any starting weapon" mod then beating everything in the head with the amygdala arm.
>>744692493wrong
>>744688470You call that a weapon, son?

>>744688470It's ugly and heavy, just like your mother.
>>744693621"blunt" is just physical damage you stupid retard. just about every weapon deals it.thrust is specified because it deals extra damage against kin,the damage attributes are physical, blood, arcane, fire, and boltweapon attributes include thrust (more damage against kin), righteous (more damage against cainhurst enemies), and serrated (more damage against beasts)
I just had a nightmare. In it I saw a clip where my waifu spoke in my language. I was grossed immediately. If she ever uttered any words in my turdie language I would lose all respect for her.
>>744692493>Transform is useless You are aware that this is Stagger: the weapon right.
>>744693741t. Simon
>>744689215all the fights in Sekiro play out the same way except the gimmick bosses/demon of song. ER is filled to the brim with filler content and unlike BB it isn't sectioned off to a side mode. BB wins
>>744690594Thats because the games are designed with NG+ in mind. I never went through another run after my first, but I only played DaS1 and DaS3 and ER. Maybe I will find the remaining games worth of it (fat chance)
reiterpallasch + loch shield is an underrated combo. Makes blood/arcane fags seethe

Hard to keep a Bloodborne thread going these days, feels like. Guess everything's been said.
>>744697295its 10 years old to be fair, but Im playing it the first time right now so Im talking about it.fuck frenzy bullshit
>>744688470yeah if you don't want to look like some meta slave retard that looked up builds on YouTube before starting their first playthrough I got so sick of every host using this when I tried to coop
>>744694073this nigga retarded>>744693621physical damage is divided between normal and "non-normal", which is itself divided between blunt, thrust and blood but still within the physical damage group, so physical modifiers such as runes affect all four, and blunt/thrust/blood also by specific damage boosts or reductions to blunt or thrust or bloodexcept for physical defense, which is actually all damage reduction, elemental and typeless included, and that clothing defenses work completely differently and only apply to the specific value listed for each instead

>>744694192>I would lose all respect for her.Why did you have any respect for the Church's onahole in the first place?
>>744694414I hate the NG+ system cause you're overpowered and it's a cake walk until you loop a couple times, but why bother?Would much rather they let you choose any weapon in the game to start a new run with. That way you get a totally different feeling playthrough from the start soul level 0 so it's the same level of challenge. I do this with mods and it's great but really it should be built in.
>>744705886Bloodborne isn't like that, your health pool is never too big.
>>744688470retard
Bloodborne is a fun game but goddamn would it benefit from more content or another DLC. Another portion of Yharnam to explore or another nightmare section, more weapons and tools, some viability for an Arcane/Bloodtinge
>>744698974>physical damage is divided between normal and "non-normal", which is itself divided between blunt, thrust and bloodfucking idiot, blood is not counted in the physical damage calculation. it's only blunt and thrust. blood damage is calculated from bloodtinge scaling.don't fucking spread LIES.
>>744706327Chalice dungeons
that sword always felt too slow to me
>>744688470its not the beast cutter thoughbeit
>>744691312The one and only
>>744688470I can get pic related pretty early if I want to. Also there's no reason to rely on meta weapons in Bloodborne, everything except the noodle arms is more than capable of beating the game.
>>744689215I have to be honest with you, anon, bigger is not better and Central Yharnam+Cathedral Ward easily beats any level in Elden Ring.
>>744688470sup lads, how's the PC emulator now?
>>744690420>neglects to mention the process of getting that
>>744689215The three best From games are Bloodborne, Sekiro and AC6. Elden ring isn’t even close to better than DS1 and while I love it, DS1 isn’t better than Bloodborne. Sekiro and AC aren’t going for the same thing but excel effortlessly in their genre they’re auto picks.
>>744689357endgame pizza cutter is 99 strength 50 skill anyways so just pump STR
>>744692493Nigger you're wasting half its power if you don't mix transformation attacks into combos. Hit harder, get more reach, stagger enemies so they eat more damage.
>>744707894I played through the game on the emulator like 5 months ago and it was pretty much perfect memory leak issue asideI think we're still waiting on full online implementation though
>>744705338my nigga
>>744690756Based, best weapon
>>744692549>>744699282Everyone acts like it's trash because they don't know it's just the Beast Cutter with an even bigger dick.
>>744688470can I emulate memeborne at 1440p 120fps on a 3070 now?I sold my piss4 pro like 8 years ago and haven't played BB since thenI still remember the silky smooth 21fps with ultra latency
>>744694414>Thats because the games are designed with NG+ in mindThen they should probably add stuff to NG+ to make it a fresh experience that you would actually want to experience, rather than just "oh boy, I get to fight [early game boss] with [late game weapon]! yippee!"Have the NG+ be the challenge for the sickos after NG is the version that the average player is expected to clear. Remix things, have NG+ versions of areas to surprise the players. Extra traps. Meaner enemy placement. Something beyond just "exact same shit but enemies have a bit more health (you still mop the floor with them)".No, I don't believe these games are at all designed for the NG+ experience. Not even 2.
An elegant weapon for a more civilized age.
>>744707723I'm not entirely sold, few things compare to Raya Lucaria (in aesthetics) and the Shadowed Keep + the Capitol are some of the best levels ever made by From
Bloodborne is a really easy game you can literally use anything you want.
>>744689218Man you get this shit way too late. Isn't it balls deep into the 3rd tier of chalice dungeon, which is scaled to basically the end of the game difficulty?
>>744690756I tried making a greasy boy that was focused on Stake Driver, Boom Hammer, and Cannon. It really didn't work, I would never pull this thing out. Hammer just clicked more and has a way better R2. Boom Hammer being available super early also helps
For me, it's the Kos Parasite.
>>744692578I was so excited to use this until I realized one form is str and the other is arc. so you have half a weapon either way. Tragic man.
>>744688470yes
>>744710341I've never had so much fun in all my life as running around as a tentacle rape monster
>>744688470Yes, the pizza cutter is fun
>>744691312This
>>744688470Yes having fun
>>744689215Demon's souls and Dark Souls (1) made paradigm shifts in the gaming industry, and the Sekiro did it again with the deflection mechanic, leading to many games adapting that as well.Bloodborne's trickweapon gimmick, or Rally system wasnt as groundbreaking unfortunately.>ER has the best level designis an insane take..
>>744710341>>744710539It looks cool and Bloodborne would be incomplete without a hentai weapon, but I have no idea how the game is supposed to be even slightly playable with it unless you've been farming blood gems for all eternity.>slow>mediocre reach>bad damage>doesn't stagger most enemies>not good for crowd controlAm I supposed to just nebula explode on everyone?
>>744707635noodle arm is really good, i beat the game with it. don't really get where this is coming from. if anything the damage on the charged attack + followups feels cheesy.
>>744710714>not good for crowd controlpress L2
>>744688470There are at least a dozen absolutely awesome weapons for any build. Its a good weapon but especially the dlc weapons will be so much more fun always.
>>744710265The slow R2 on stake driver is a meme. The actually good one is the stake-out R2 thrust, charged or uncharged. It's very fast and does excellent damage, has surprising range for a fist weapon and is amazing for staggering bosses.
>>744694414>>744709948Fromsoft needs to look at how games like Dragon's Crown & Nioh handle NG+ difficulty cycles rewarding and challenging players in new ways. Higher player level ranges could actually be somewhat justified if there was a tower of mirages-esque true endgame, which like Nioh takes multiple NG+ cycles to get full access to.Sure Fromsoft bosses get more challenging at around NG+6, but they dont get any new moves, traits, properties, or make it so they now have massive stance-gauges so it takes a lot more to stance break them for a critical hit.
>>744688470Yes, half-way trough the dlc
>>744710695>Trick weaponThis is basically just transforming weapons and has been done before and after, it's a cool gimmick but ultimately it's just a gear thing>Rally systemI'm not entirely sure Bloodborne invented the rally, but it shows up after in and off the genre. Ultimately, they're not fundamental game mechanics and they're more just layering onto BB's design philosophy of aggressive fights and crafty hoonters. I'd figure if any mechanic was going to take off, the gun parry would though it's just a ranged Dark Souls parry. Ultimately, Bloodborne is just fast Dark Souls (Lovecraft ed), and if it does have a legacy the legacy would be the increase in game pace and speed following the release, nearly every soulslike uses the faster game tempo now, less focus on gimmicky bosses and more of a focus on mechanic challenges.
>>744707723leyndell is bigger, more complex, more secrets to find, more challenging, more visually varied, with an entire sewer section that is big enough to be its own seperate dungeon. at best its debatable, its not "easily" winning. and stormveil is better than btoh
>>744707894I get the occasional crash but its just a quick reboot and youre right back in it, and besides that no problems. you'll need a few patches but once youre set up it runs beautifully.
>>744708632>1440p 120fps on a 3070no, but it could probably handle 60 just fine.
pokebros...
>>744690594You’re supposed to git gud and use the cool thing early.
>>744710983I thought about mentioning Nioh in my post but frankly the things Nioh does with its NG+ only works because of its loot system. Unless fromsoft added a similar loot system (or perhaps something like the nightreign system of weapon effects?), I don't see how playing the same game but skipping half the shit but the enemy placement is a little bit different and some enemies are stronger would be enough of an improvement over what they're already doing.Frankly what I'd like to see is this: Have the NG+ be the supercharged version of the base game. Bosses are Everdark equivalents; they start in their 2nd phase and have an additional, NG+ only 3rd phase. Enemy placements are remixed to be a lot more challenging. (Optional) Have weapons found in NG+ have additional modifiers not found in NG versions, still giving you a reason to find loot (maybe have an item found later into NG+ that lets you enchant your weapon with a modifier so it's not pure gacha RNG nonsense). Enemy stats are tuned to be much more challenging than the NG version relative to expected player power, making NG+ into a real challenge that demands a lot more out of the player. Basically, have it be a mountain for the player to scale. The people who are playing NG+ are looking for this kind of experience anyway. There doesn't need to be deep-scaling NG+ (like going to NG+9 or whatever), instead Nioh's system of each DLC adding another layer of NG+ is pretty good IMO.But I'm just dreaming here. Ah well.
>>744710761>>744710826I would go back and try it again but my PS4 broke, I just remember that when I attempted to make Kos Parasite work it was the only weapon in the game I couldn't make viable.
>>744711073ER's level design suffers greatly from the decision to put graces right after shortcuts, completely invalidating their existence.
>>744710695>ER has the best level design is an insane take..it's really not. I just played all 3 of those games back to back, and Stormveil+Leyndell were the best and most memorable levels of all 3 games. Fountainhead palace, Ashina Castle were great too. Bloodborne's levels are consistently good BUT have a problem with visual variety in my opinion. Besides the forbidden woods and Cainhurst castle, all the different levels just blended together.
>>744710062The most fun I ever had in souls PvP was using reiterpallasch and Evelyn dual gunning people down until they panic rush to their deaths.
>>744711385oh, kos parasite noodle arm. i meant the amygdala arm.
>>744711460Oh, Amygdalan Arm was one of my favorites. That thing slaps like George Floyd paying child support.
>>744711427I dont die so none of that is even relevant for me.
>>744711335Not that anon, I agree with you except for Shadow of the Erdtree because you have to be a true masochist to go off early game and fight fucking Mohg. Honestly one of the DLC's biggest flaws is how late in the game you have to be for a good chance at beating the boss that guards it.
Shame it's so late in the DLC, really fun weapon here
>>744711568Even if you don't die you might still want to backtrack through the level to explore, in which case you just teleport around the graces instead of going through the shortcut you just unlocked.
>>744711638I thoroughly explore everything on my first run, so that's not really relevant either. (Im trolling anon, you're right but I dont think its a huge deal either, and theres still plenty of shortcuts in ER that arent attached to graces)
>just beat gehrman, wow cool great game>look up a walkthroughI missed so much fucking shit its absolutely unreal, including 2 entire areas and the real last boss. And I anally explored every nook and cranny.
>>744711745Bloodborne was kino with the 2deep5u hidden bullshit, Elden Ring doesn't have anything on it but I hope their next game does. Closest is maybe Sekiro? Not really any hidden areas but the memory level (and especially the 2nd one) is something many miss
>>744711439Leyndell is pretty, but it doesn't feel nearly as immersive, varied, or challenging as Central Yharnam to me. Stormveil is definitely better but still falls a little short. It's hard to put my finger on exactly why, but I think it's because Central Yharnam is designed to provide you with a wide range of different challenges and build-starting options while Leyndell and Stormveil are less integral to the game as a whole. Yharnam is also laid out in such a way that basically every enemy encounter in it is a different kind of experience, from the steamroller pig down the tunnel to the noob-fucking wolves on the bridge to the crowd around the bonfire to the super-aggressive executioner guy down a side alley right at the beginning. It's just a very memorable experience to go through. Leyndell and Stormveil's fights mostly feel more like regular groups of enemies.
>grab the MLGS from DLC>play around with it>realize I kinda like how the Ludwig's Holy Blade controls better
For me, it's these two. STRARC builds are kino
>>744711901Biggest issue: by the time you reached Leyndell the game ran its course at least twice, next to nothing besides the trumpet dudes is actually new to you and you're mostly just going through the motions.There's barely anything in it to do besides fighting the same tree spirits, avatars, crucible knights, standard knights - mustard flavor, etc. again with no special interactions or new NPCs to speak of and to - ffs, there's probably more unique shit happening in Aldia's Keep and that's just a goddamn glorified corridor.Central Yharnam is right at the start, so it has new things here and there, quests, unique shit and more.
>>744690687>>744688470Noobtraps outclassed by the basic saw cleaver
>>744712412Well I also like Aldia's Keep despite its tiny size, for what that's worth.
>>744711935Beams > no beamsalso the mlgs has that long ass poke when untricked
>>744711620You get it right after beating Ludwig
>>744711690>and theres still plenty of shortcuts in ER that arent attached to gracesWhich ones? I'm struggling to think of any.
>>744711620This one has been the most impressive for me for the DLC weapons, because it looks unassuming enough, yet It's extremely fast, has a god tier move set, and the transform staggers aswell, and is also really fast after transforming it.
>>744688470Fun. LHB is so fucking boring. It's the epitome of "i press button get big hit." Actual fun weapons involve thinking, positioning, and baiting. The Beasthunter Saif is fun, the Threaded Cane is fun, the Stake Driver is fun.
This nigga is the absolute best among the more far reaching weapons. Bonus points for looking cool as fuck
>one of the coolest weapons in the game>damage is really underwhelming for how slow it is
>>744712807My niggaDamage is very okay if you (obviously) also invest in arcane, otherwise it's not gonna get you far. But compared to other weapons like it, it's a lot faster, and has substantial stagger potential. Also the regular R1 is so satisfying.
>>744712807>小アメン>AmygdalanHuh?And it does pretty good damage for how fucking long it is. Maria was a joke with it.
>HOLY FUCK THAT DAMAG-oh. I'm out of bullets already
>>744712803I really don't get Amygdalarm lovers, the long reaching strike is underwhelming compared to the beast cutter.>>744712807This.
>>744700489How exactly do you do it?Read about it and tried it, didn't see any difference.
>>744693580>tfw you know Amy so well you can blast it's head and beat it with only stake driver's charged R2sLove it. The best hit I ever landed with it was finishing off Maria as she rushes into it at point blank range while it was firing. I must have gotten a counter damage boost or ariel damage boost because it did a fuckton of damage. Also finished off Ludwig with it but it wasn't as cool.
>>744712952I really don't get Best Cutter lovers, the long reaching strike is underwhelming compared to the Amygdala Arm.No but seriously I tried every weapon and the Arm is what I kept coming back to. Beast Cutter just didn't do it for me.
The Holy Moonlight Sword mogs it in such a pathetic way, it's undear. You can spam R2 stab all day and decimate the entire game so much more efficiently that this. The obvious downside is how late you get it since it's a DLC weapon, and the fact that it needs arcane to be utilized properly.
>>744712952Blunt Gems save this thing
>>744712952I tried both on/off, and even though the cutter has longer reach and more stagger potential, the arm does alot more damage and is significantly faster. Both have an R2 (albeit the arm get's a charged one) that flattens everyone, but the arm's is much better WHILE dealing additional damage on them and around them. The only downside, per-se, is the last R1 being an overhead instead of continuing the horizontal swipes, but at least it staggers very nicely.
>>744711292The spear should have been some rocket-powered launcher similar to the boom hammer instead of that puny peashooter
>>744713030>The obvious downside is how late you get it since it's a DLC weaponYou can start the DLC as soon as you beat Amelia, that's not far in at all. MLGS isn't even that far into the dlc
>>744713162>rocket powered launcher spearAin't that a Lies of P weapon?
>>744713162Should've had an explosive CR2 like the stake drive (but not as slow or as damaging).
>>744688470I like the Saif's fast mode.
>>744712541You need to progress pretty far into the research lab to get the key to open the cell where it is.
The proper way to play the game is one weapon being a heavy of your choice and the other the Saif.
>>744713218Well, that entails beating Ludwig, and as far as I'm concerned, it's not a worthwile task so early into the game.
>>744712741It's very impressive, great overhead reach which helps with Amy. And it's transformed attacks are all thrust which is the best phys element, and it deals extra damage to beasts because fuck it why not
>>744713328To be fair that's just running. The only wall to getting it is Ludwig.
>>744689215>>744707723This, i love Bloodborne because Yharnam feels like a lived in city, even if some bridges or streets end on nonsensical dead ends, its still miles better than the towns/cities in Elden Ring.I can't imagine normal niggas living in ER cities, i can imagine normal niggas roaming Yharnam, the city is another character of the game.
>>744713456And it also deals righteous damage, with it being a church weapon and all. I think my all around most used DLC weapon on my emulator playthrough so far.
>>744688470I beat the game with the canewhip thingy and it was a lot of fun
>>744689215Bloodborne is just a better game, all around. Even with the scale and all the bells and whistles, BB is such a fine and well crafted contained experience, it blows everything ER could have ever done out of the water. I mean, you could show someone a screenshot of ER and tell them it's from Dark Souls (3) and they might believe you, but there's no mistaking BB. On every aspect that game is distinct. Believe me, I like ER a lot, it's a great game, but BB is the best game From (Miyazaki at least) has ever done. Period.
the hammer is big
>>744705338>>744708350I was using this axe, just started the game and it randomly changes into a two handed weapon. Is there any actual reason behind this?

>>744714283No need, use a fast weapon like the Saif, spam R1, and when you're out of stamina use the Augur or Beast Roar, and by the time he comes up you will have restored enough stamina to continue mashing.
how the fuck do I cheese ludwig
>>744715048He made me give up on the game for 6 months, I only beat him through sheer trial and error because I refused to look up any walkthroughs.
>>744714203Fast poison is basically bleed, they just renamed it for weird Fromsoft-specific reasons.
>>744715048see >>744714272
>>744715048Fire Paper the first phase with a serrated weapon, second phase is generlaly not so bad.
>>744710265The R2 has a learning curve, but it does incredibly damage (especially as elemental fire when you oil up the enemy first) and it is super satisfying learning when you can use it on each boss and pulling off the big hit. That said the weapon is actually really strong and fun when you ignore the charge move. It has deceptive range, is very fast and a good spread of moves. I did a playthrough a while ago expecting it to be a meme and it has become my overall favourite weapon in BB.
>>744690756I wish I liked this weapon. I tried so hard but the moveset is so bad man.
>>744690687nothing beats good old fashioned B O N K
>>744688470No./thread
>>744692578I wanted to like this so much.The audio when activating the transformed mode is insane.Swinging it is just not satisfying.
>>744715675finally, the correct response.>b-b-but my meme weaponis situational and less powerful overall.
>>744690687>Heavy bonk for staggering big niggas>Swap to sword mode for fast niggas who stagger easily >tfw landing the charged R2 and just pancaking boss niggas and interrupting whatever shit they doingIts literally perfectI try to play BB with other weapons but I keep coming back to this one
>crown of illusions>royal dress>doll gloves>arianna's shoesoh yeah, it's fashion time.
>>744715891It's unironically best move it the transformed dodge R1. But the spinning of the transformed attacks help with rallying, so keep that in mind when taking damage/buffing it.
>>744688578>>744690594What do you think NG+ and chalices are for?
>>744716149Honestly, I'm in need of doing a Str/Arc playthrough again.It was my first character and as such, was very suboptimal. Give this weapon another try, and if it doesn't work out, there are plenty of other options.
>>744690756The stake driver was actually a beast in pvp. If you could get someone up against a wall the r1s when the stake was primed were so quick they literally had no chance
>>744690687As someone with 50% of my surname being Kirk I literally cannot play BB with any other weapon. I'm glad it's so good.
>>744716289STR/ARC is what I did in my latest playthough, and it was very good, though as with many hybrid build you get the better weapons for them later int othe game. Amygdalan arm, Wheel, and the Moonlight Sword are the go-to's. The Moonight Sword dishes out the most damage out of all the STR adjacent weapons I had by a long shot, that shit is ridiculous.
>>744689921i hate that the scaling is split so you have to go all in on bloodtinge or skill for the damage, it does a metric fuckton of damage when in trick mode though with the proper gems and bloodtinge
>>744715992>type A
>>744715891>Swinging it is just not satisfying.Disagree, I remember loving its basic combo when I did my executioner playthrough.
>>744716549Chikage feels weirdly ng+ for how early you can get it. But at the same time, leveling Skill and Bloodtinge alongside each other is absolutely viable.Maybe the math in my head is wrong, but even with 50 Skill, 25 Bloodtinge, it should be worth switching to the blood-mode for how much damage it does and how little Bloodtinge resistane most enemies have.
>>744707635>meta weaponsOh fuck you. Thing about Ludwig's sword isn't really that it's strong, it's that the moveset is extremely versatile and functional. Making it FUN.There's not the pitfalls of>the hammer is SO KEWL -> proceeds to only use the 1h sword 90% of the time because the hammer form actually sucks shit>the axe's halberd form is PURE SEX and has multiple combos -> monkey's paw curls again, the 1h form is DaS1 battle axe moveset tieretc. With LHB you trick from a great weapon to another great weapon instead of a sack of shit, like whoa.
>>744717095>implying anyone uses the one handed sword mode
>>744709948Doesn't NG+ in DS2 do all of those things?
>>744717231You're telling me you would not use it against dog or more mobile enemies?
>>744712412I think its funny how Leyndell really has no original enemies. The city where the most prosperous people lived alongside their god and all the soldiers look like the dudes you find in Limgrave. At the very least in DaS3 you wont find Lothric Knights everywhere or see Pontiff soldiers in fucking Dragon Peak. The same variants of knights, dogs, imps reskinned from Das3 and so on everywhere you go whether its Caelid, Liurnia or the Haligtree an endgame, secret area.
>>744699049It's very good in a lot of situations. The R2s in in both forms do great damage. There is also a great combo no one talks about.>R1 R1 L2Many enemies will regain their composure after being hit twice and will immediately attack if you're close enough. Get's the parry most of the time. You can basically stunlock NPC hunters, keeper of the old lords, and basically anything humanoid.
>>744717565Same thing with the Reiterpallasch (and one reason for why I loved it so much). You could stab stab and reliably confirm into the L2 parry.Pretty sure I had the easiest Maria fight getting her into a corner and just doing this over and over. Dumb waifu.
>>744717315Same of them but not nearly enough.
>>744715646Same.All they had to do was make transforming the weapon mid combo fire the stake.Such wasted potential.
>>744690756I landed fully charged R2's on a few people in pvp because they didn't notice me drink the lead elixir. It was fucking awesome.
>>744691370There's a mod that gives it a better moveset and buffs it a bit in general. It's neat, try it out if you got bloodborne on your pc.
>>744717091I think the best build for Chikage is 25 skill, 50 bloodtinge, and 3x 24% +15 physical gems. This allows you to use the entire moveset with very good damage. Remember that there are moves that use the bloody sword animations that do not use the bloodtinge stat on the weapon:>Both transformation attacks>Tricked L1 thrust>Tricked running thrustThen of course the entire untricked moveset is physical damage, but you can deal decent damage here too and it reaches many breakpoints of enemies even in high NG+ cycles. Also you have evelyn! If you don't want to farm 24 15's, 27.2%'s work great as well.
>>744688470ludwigs memeblade sucks and I have never understood why its held in such high regard, I understand that the appeal is the elemental damage via its ARC scaling but by the time you're able to get decent enough blood gems to outpace the normal physical damage you'd already have access to the Moonlight Sword or at least Tonitrus for sure, and the Erica Kirkhammer is better at raw physical damage output, so unless you desperately need native fire damage on a weapon I really do not see the niche that Holy Blade fills, I've never stuck with it past maybe Rom. If I'm missing something, please, educate my wack ass.
>>744714130>defiled hotdogFuck that bitch probably took me longer to beat than Ludwig
>>744705338this is the actual OP shit, best moveset, best rally, best physical damage and scaling, best stagger and among the best range, and its on a fucking starter weapon; for cynical spreadsheet style players its the beginning and end of the entire game. it must be contagious because DaS3 has the same disease.
>>744717941Ludwigs Holyshit is equally one of the best strength, skill and arcane weapons. For some fucked reason, it scales in B for both physical attributes and A in arcane. It is indeed a very good skill weapon as well! It has normal, thrust and blunt attacks, massive damage modifiers, a flexible moveset with slow and fast attacks and people just like swords even in Bloodborne.So yeah, it works with a number of different builds and is among the best weapons in several categories at the same time without suffering some kind of drawback. Very easy to see why so many people use it.
>>744688470Personally I was quite disappointed with the weapons. I know everyone says they're 2 in 1, but it's no different from the other entries. If I two-hand the weapon, then it becomes 2 in 1. Yeah, there's a switch-attack, whatever you want to call it, but it's like one move. Then some of the weapons are too similar. Saw Cleaver and Saw Spear are identical except one single move, which I think was the rolling R1? Kirkhammer and Ludwigs Holy Blade share the same moveset. Then the Tinnitus hammer is just the boring Club moveset from Dark Souls 1. The Spear and that Rapier which both shoot with the heavy attack is... kinda redundant? Maybe it has use in PvP, but I never got invaded. And I already had a gun in my left hand, so I just never used it, like I forgot it even had that function and became very spammy with only R1 as an attack. Stake Driver exists. I can't even think of the other ones. I loved the Cane, it was by far my favourite weapon, and I did enjoy the Dual Swords quite a lot, but it took forever to get. I think there was a scythe? Never did the DLC, I already moved on from Bloodborne, but might emulate it one day.
>>744718147the appeal of the melee weapons with the gun mode is that theyre the only way to do damage using bullets without also using boner ash, and if you've got some sort of fetish for elemental bullets then the Reiterpallasch is the only game in town. both cannons can be used effectively against bosses but, again, boner ash.
>>744718278Yeah, no wonder I didn't find them all that fun. It sounds niche.
>Charred hunter set looks great with old hunter hat >Collar and hat constantly clip when movingPain.
>>744689215BB's combat is oversold. Yeah the weapons flow well with transformation attacks but I think the reason /v/ loves it so much is because the gun parry is exploitive and the bosses don't quite take advantage of the new game pacing the way later titles do.The combat isn't actually better than latter titles, it's just easier.
>>744717231Im a lud main and I use the 1h all the fucking time. when I want to parry, against small mobile enemies, against easily staggered opponents who get stunlocked by r1 spam. its super useful
>>744718679the Reiterpallasch is a genuinely good weapon even if you only use the rapier mode purely because of its dynamic, high utility moveset, but at the same time its outclassed by Rakuyo in that regard. its still good for pure Skill builds up until you can get Rakuyo if you aren't into the Blades of Crow Pussy, which is understandable
>>744717541and what original enemies does the nightmare mensis have again? the orgxiii members? and that's literally it. unless you think a crow with a dogs head or the pig with eye brains counts as "new".
>>744719039spidersgiant spiderspider with human headMergo AttendantsChief AttendantsPuppets
>>744691051love the pizza cutter
>>744718826>bosses don't quite take advantage of the new game pacing the way later titles do.Bloodborne bosses are basically all push overs too. They're mostly just easy gimmick bosses. Or gigantic retarded animal. Fuck, Gascione, Blood Starved Beast Erebitas, and Gehrman are the only challenging ones. Everyone praises the DLC for a reason and it added by far the best and hardest bosses.
>>744716549>i hate that the scaling is splitThe scaling is not split. The transformed attacks are all tinge and there is no reason to ever use untransformed. The weapon is played by sheathing and unsheathing with the special R1 that only triggers during the sheathe animation, you don't use untricked
>>744719937thats what i meant, you can only really maximize damage for one form and theres no reason not to use the inferior untricked mode
>>744720009*to use
>>744719843>gascione >blood starved beast>hardeither Im really good at souls games or you're really bad. Gasc killed me one time with 1 hit left, then got parried to death. Blood starved beast was an easy one shot.
>>744719937>have to lose a lot of health using a slow af windup attack to do any damagesounds like a shit weapon to me
>>744720069>Im really good at souls games or you're really bad.Well no shit if you're coming in from Elden Ring and DS3 these guys are push overs. But they are among the harder bosses of the game.
>>744707975install mod and play the whole game with it.
>>744720125the chikage is overrated for sure, it doesnt do that much damage, the untricked mode is boring and you need to invest a lot of points in bloodtinge which only has like 3 weapons that scale with it
>>744711596Mohg is not that hard as a boss but the setup you need to get to face him if you want the DLC weapons early is annoying
>>744719287fair enough, I forgot about them and I concede. but yeah its much easier having unique monsters in a 25 hour game than an 80 hour game, crazy concept.
>>744688470BB really was the best and better than ER in every way
>>744720481Maybe don't make an 80 hour game that spreads itself thin after 10-15 then.I swear, all of the catacombs in this game barely have enough trap variety to put together one Sen's Fortress.
>>744720629>hour game that spreads itself thin after 10-15 then.ER would still be a significantly larger game than Bloodborne even without the open world. Pound for pound it has significantly more bosses and enemies. And I am not talking about repeats here.
>>744707894People will say it's perfect but it's highly suspect we haven't seen that much footage yet.
>>744688470yes.Saw Cleaver = for mindless gameplay against beasts.Whirligig Saw = for optimized damaged against beasts.Evelyn + Bonemarrow Ashe = if you have sufficient skill attribute and you wanna spam shots at nerds.Hunter's Pistol = if you simply need something great for parrying. Its shorter barrel Helps, because the Evelyn can fvck up when enemies get too close (the latter's barrel is too long.)Hunter's Axe = for kiddies who wanna stagger normal enemies (like, that's it.)Tonitrus = if you need the imbue lightning/ bolt element weapon skill.Cannon = for big bOOm.Flamesprayer = for basic beasts that still fear (like cower from) fire damage.Loch Shield = for 'tards who spam arcane damage at you.
>>744690594Just install a mod where you can get the stuff you want early and play the game the way you want>t. playing through DS3 with firelink set
>>744720756this is what annoys me about ER criticism. yeah it reuses enemies and bosses, but it still has more unique enemies and bosses than any other action ever made. and I sure as hell was not feeling "spread thin" after 10-15 hours, I wasnt even done with all of limgrave/stormveil at that point. I didnt get bored of the game until I explored everything in base game after 80+ hours and then started getting facestomped by DLC bosses.
>>744690176Actually if you were new to the game you would be a fucking retard to level bloodtinge on your first playthrough
>>744720823Im playing it now and its definitely not perfect, it needs a few patches to get everything working and an occasional crash still happens but the upgrades in frame/resolution over playing on ps4 are so worth it.
>>744721174pussy-ass nigger
>>744720823yup. even some dude i watched play the whole game showed graphical bugs and whatnot. 1 example: the lighting during the Vicar Amelia boss fights goes schizO.
>>744720823It's not perfect 100% of the time, you might crash once in an eight hour span, see some vertex fuckery briefly, or if you're unlucky run into weird lighting bugs that need a restart- but for virtually 99% of the game, it runs flawlessly and its flaws are offset by the benefits of playing on PC.
>>744721329>The consolecuck becomes angry and confused when offered power to make his own choices instead of being led around like cattle
>>744688470the saw spear/cleaver have lower startup lagsimon's bowblade (transformed of course) has considerable reach advantage, particularly useful against large bossestransformed church pick has lots of advantages such as dealing bonus damage against pretty much everything (anti-beast and thrust damage is strong against aliums), also great reach and able to hit big beasts square in the head because of its moveset
>>7447214032 playthroughs in and the game is 99% perfect to play, other than the vertex explosion thing (fixable though, with a mod). They have fixed even ebrietas in 60fps.
>>744721213Its popular to hate on Elden Ring because its the most popular one, even if it makes no sense. Contrarianism runs strong here.
>>744712340based choice
>>744721725I loved the church pick so fucking much.
BOOM BOOM HAMMER or go home
>>744688470I've only beaten the game once and I went with kirkhammer or whatever it was called. It might be one of the best weapons in any game.
>>744688470SAIF
>>744720125>have to lose a lot of health using a slow af windup attack to do any damageNo you don't, you use the unsheathe R1 like I just said, that's just not the attack I happened to have a webm of
nevermind found one
>>744689215Sekiro's art style is extremely bland, what are you on? It's Generic Japanese Sengoku Era Game #83629016 v16.01.3.26.10. It's been done to death a million times. People glaze it on /v/ because it's a one-off game and likely won't ever get a sequel. Same with Bloodborne, but the latter had to actually earn it and fight for relevancy amongst other exclusives on the PS4 (back when Sony actually made them). Bloodborne is a masterpiece that people still talk about and beg for a sequel/remaster to, Sekiro is a very good game that came and went like any Asscreed game.

Why is it so much cooler than the male version? Seriously, it pisses me off I can't use it.
>>744725052>It's Generic Japanese Sengoku Era Game #83629016 v16.01.3.26.10and its still more beautiful than every souls game by a large margin.
>>744727379To be fair, quite a number of outfits look better on males.
>>744718826>the reason /v/ loves it so much is because the gun parry is exploitive and the bosses don't quite take advantageI reckon it's the sheer style factor, like both lorewise and numbers wise the tarnished is absurdly strong, but because so many of their animations are anaemic, you don't feel it as much, its also why so many people love sekiro, it just FEELS cool, and makes you feel cool too.
>>744727952As they should, and this one should too.
>>744727379>I can't use it.sure you can anon... nothing wrong with being a cute girl ;)
>>744728417No! I play Bloodborne as God intended- a skinnyfat man with glasses and an aristocratic receding hairline.

>>744727240Asscreed Shadows, Ghost of Tsushima, the billions of Samurai Warriors games
>>744729072Neither of those look like Sekiro. There's different art direction for all three.
>>744707635they adapted the wrong wheel weapon from bb to er. the bb throwback weapon should have been a logarious wheel instead of a whirligig.
>>744727240Apparently Genshin and Mists of Pandaria
>>744688470Fun. Variety.Basically all of Bloodborne's weapons are great, and can carry you through the game without you needing to think about your choice too much.

>>744713162>>744711292Its shots needed to actually deal some damage. There is zero purpose to the gun on this weapon because even with investment it deals less damage than a sidearm while being a 2H so it doesn't allow you any utility like the Reiter. The original bug with +element damage making it into a shotgun was unironically cool and just needed to be tweaked into a legitimate build
>>744719937>The scaling is not split. The transformed attacks are all tinge and there is no reason to ever use untransformed.The reason is that a bloodtinge-only playthrough sucks.Also you often need to use your left hand like your webm shows.Making the game tedious just to min-max isn't worth it.
>>744688470the basic bitch starting weapon with buff and meme pellet is better iirc. but this thing is pretty much by far the best weapon even after they nerfed it lol>>744688795objectively false.
>>744688470The HMS is even sexier.>>744688578If you're talking about the DLC, you can get there as soon as you reach midgame. Granted, getting the HMS requires you to kill Ludwig...
>>744688470What weapon is that? I did most of my BB playthrough with the Kirkhammer.

He will jump, never ON you, but to orient himself to face you instead. You can anticipate this to attack his head, then repeat the process.
>>744689218Unfathomably based.
>>744741129It's not a hammer so that can't be true.
Bloodborne weapons are so fucking dogshit
>>744728206>Sheer style factorI mean yeah swiss-army weapons is a cool concept don't get me wrong, but pound for pound Trick weapons are just taking two familiar weapon categories and allowing them a switch with an attack animation.It is fundamentally an improvement to the 1-to-2 system of earlier titles which is probably why they did the stat split thing between modes (Because 2-handing has the STR multiplier in souls).>Many animations are AnaemicNo idea what you're talking about. From has always made the characters appear to struggle flailing inhumanly big weapons and in BB the only inhumanly big weapons are the Ludwig ones. Why is the Tarnished getting shit for looking "weak" when he's using the Giant Crusher?
>>744743986I'm reffering to how crap most of the animations are, like ALL the longswords, greatswords, halberds, axes and long axes, and probably a few others that I forgot have some truely dire animations, like a claymore isn't some lumpen slab that people need to take years of trainingto just lift
>>744744980Nobody gives a fuck retardoAnimations are studied to be reactable, not realistic
>>744734952nigga a controller is like 20 bucksif you cant afford 20 dollars you should probably just end your life
>>744745056I'm not asking for realism, just that they hire a mocap actor who isn't a lobotomised 8 year old and knows how to look even slightly cool while using a sword, From knows how to go good animations, because the light greatswords look fantastic

>>744728206>I reckon it's the sheer style factor, like both lorewise and numbers wise the tarnished is absurdly strong, but because so many of their animations are anaemic, you don't feel it as much, its also why so many people love sekiro, it just FEELS cool, and makes you feel cool too.This is a very reasonable opinion and you will regularly see BBfags gush about dodging in BB even though it's literally just a souls dodge roll but the animation doesn't roll on the ground so it superficially feels different and superficial feels matterThey dropped the ball with ER weapons. Making stat scaling completely customisable AND making ashes completely customisable then making 30 weapons per class and giving them all the same movesets means they're all the same. Infusions and selectable ashes are a shit system which removes any identity the weapons could have had. I understand the desire to have lots of different weapons as rewards in the giant world and I understand they aren't going to have 300 different weapon movesets with unique animations but they didn't even TRY to give them a unique identity. They just had to allow everything to be customised and that removes the main elements they could have used to differentiate themA smaller number of more diverse weapons is good but BB still doesn't have a good weapon line up because too many of the base game weapons suck and are poorly balanced. The biggest time sink in making a lot of weapons is animation work, but you can make weapons feel unique by doing a pic'n'mix of different animations from other weapons and significantly changing things like speed and range without needing wholly new animations. DS2 did a good job of this, you can have better variety without needing that much more work
>>744690594Ignoring NG+ is a very specific thing invented by /v/ and copied by reddit.It stems from DaS having no respec option and a shittier end game, coupled with a "maximum online experience" meta level cap at 125. It's also because NG+ in every souls game never feels like they boost enemies in a way where they would be difficult for a high level player. It's usually like a 20% across the board boost not feelable until NG+4 or so.The ironic thing is unlike other Souls games, DaS had NG+ content in the form of Gravelording, which failed in part because people refused to do NG+People argued if you wanted more play-throughs you might as well start a new character so you could experience progression without leveling past the meta level.This of course became obsolete with DaS 2 and other souls titles all having respec options.
>>744688470Saw Cleaver is better, and Saw Spear is better than it depending on your stats.>>744689218Solid weapons, people who complain about range haven't seen how far the hitbox actually extends from the model, and in the end the only thing that matters is speed.>>744690687Abysmal dogshit, tricked hammer can stun beast Gascoigne, and that's it.>>744690756Also great due to its speed.
>>744712921Do you think "Little Amy Arm" would have sounded better?
>>744749168>[Extremely common playing habit] is something you invented!I know anon, I'm so important that millions line up to hear my takes. Here's some wisdom - Souls games stop being fun when your character is fully built. Partly because the decisions involved in building something are the fun part, and partly because the combat goes to shit once you remove all of the weaknesses and limitations you begin the game with
>>744689215stuck on demon of hatred for three days fuck this nigger and fuck you for praising the bosses
After you find a weapon you unlock it and you can use since the begining in a new character. Here, i fixed bloodborne, wasn't that hard.
>>744749467No it was invented by /v/ as a trick to keep people sticking to meta level so invaders could always invade.Anyone was always free to enjoy their end game weapons in NG+. It's evident by the complaint about From Software "putting all the good weapons at the end of the game" that anon was thinking along this /v/ logic and not your reasoning.It's a lot like when Elden Ring released and everyone was seething and crying over int/fai requiring more stats to "get good". This isn't an issue if you set the "meta level" higher, but reddit thought it should be 125 because other games have it as that, ignoring Elden Ring scaling being different.There actually isn't a problem there, From Software isn't balancing things around some autistic premise written by /v/ trying to force people to stick to a particular archetype build. It's actually not an issue, never was, and the only good int/fai staff is stated around being a higher level.it's a completely fictional problem.
Still pissed none of the /bbg/ threads from the golden years got archived properly. Lost all of the old webms when my last pc died.
Kinda wanna see this guy finish his dump.
