To me, it looks like there is a mechanic where you can regain a small amount of lost life by attacking enemies quickly, or else you just lose the life. It should reward more aggressive playstyles.Fat_Hippo said:He wasn't doing a very good job of utilizing it. The developers have said that firearms aren't meant primarily as a means of doing damage, but as a means of interrupting the enemy, allowing you to use an execution move on the enemy (which I believe he does at one point) or to simply give the player some breathing room. Also, since the game no longer has shields, it basically replaces the ability to parry, while requiring less precise timing, but only having limited uses.EHKOS said:I wonder if most of the weapons will be as cool as the saw cleaver or not, but that blunderbuss seemed like garbage, performance wise.
Also, is it confirmed that blood vials will be the only method of healing? Because it seems like an item that you need to buy/farm but I always liked the concept of limited but free healing items that Dark Souls had with the Estus flask, and even considered Lifegems to be a weakening of that mechanic in Dark Souls 2. I hope that won't be how it works.
I'm more excited by the Yakuza 5 translation than any PS4/XOne announcement to be honest. Such a brilliant series. But yeah, I need to get myself a PS4 soon. Bloodbourne looks alright, though not completely my cup of tea. I do understand why people are excited about it, it's going to be quality for sure.Rozalia1 said:Looks excellent as expected. Looking forward to playing it... though the coming of a translated Yakuza 5 means it isn't the game I'm most looking forward to... Yakuza is just that good.
Your character is sustained off blood in some way, and the attacks have bigger bloodsplashes in this game, so my theory is that you get that health back for having the blood splash on you. Plus, the character's movements seem downright vampiric compared to previous souls titles.EmperorZinyak said:To me, it looks like there is a mechanic where you can regain a small amount of lost life by attacking enemies quickly, or else you just lose the life.

No worries. It'll probably show up on Steam eventually, and they seem to be getting better at PC ports by the game.Fat_Hippo said:Really, I should be trying to keep myself away from spoilers... buuuuuut since it's unlikely I'll be getting a PS4 anytime soon I might as well. *Frustration slowly builds up*
That's the thing. I have my doubts this will be ported to any other platforms, since it's being published by Sony, similar to Demon's Souls. So it's entirely feasible that this will, in fact, be a PS4 exclusive. Which makes me a very sad gamer.sageoftruth said:No worries.

....Oooh... That is troubling. Maybe I'll end up getting a PS4 as well. As others have said, Persona 5 and this sound promising. If they beef up their library a bit more and if the reviews and first impressions for both of the above don't scream "It's a trap!" then maybe I'll get one.waj9876 said:Which makes us who have PS4s very happy and lets us gloat.Fat_Hippo said:That's the thing.

Ha! We might have missed an amazing game in D4, but we're getting good stuff too!
