Lower Pthumerian is no joke. Think i'll give it a miss until later on.
E: Hah damn I should have come to Hemwick a lot sooner, huh?
E2: The whole "always records the last 15 minutes of video" is pretty cool. Makes it simple to save something if something cool happens, since I would never remember to start recording if it wasn't automatic. Doubt i'll use it much, but i'm glad it's there.
As a test I saved a video of me fighting a boss at the end of a nightmare area full of nightmare enemies and confusing-ass tree corridors. Bloodborne's world is kinda fucked up you guys. I bet it also smells terrible there.
Knack 2 is getting reviewed. The consensus seems to be it's definitely improved but still pretty meh. Still no ability to change size at will. Story still sucks. But co-op works.
I need to see Dunkey's review of this more than anything...

@Aistan that thing you got after the boss in Hemwick? There are two really good things for it in the area you just fought the Shadows. Make sure you find them. Also explore the area near those dog cages towards the start of the woods. You'll find a really interesting geographic feature that will take you places you never imagined.
This one area has completely fucked with my concept of what the game's setting is.
Balls of snakes that attach themselves to people and more giant pigs that I guess escaped the slaughterhouses and weird-ass blue mushroom people that I think I interrupted two of them having sex and what the fuck is going on. I guess all these plant seed head statues all over the place are those mushrooms? Why the fuck would the church worship mushroomen though, they were all about blood.
Nothing makes any goddamn sense so it's good that my only interaction with things is to hit them until they stop moving. Other than me emotionally destroying a little girl and accepting a vial of a sex worker's blood that is.
If you mean the thing that gives + to slow poison and + to frenzy yes I got those. The one I got from that boss is absolutely nuts though can't wait to test it out.
Oh also I can't get it out of my head that this game canonically takes place on Earth after the Winter War because there are literal Molotov Cocktails in it and the odds of having a bottle of flammable liquid with a cloth half inside and half out that you light on fire and throw called that and not being named for Russian Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov are way too low. The only thing less likely would be aliens visiting and giving people magic powers.

Well this definitely answered a couple questions, while raising a few more. But then since I was there and it reminded me I decided to follow some instructions I had gotten when I first went through the area. Now I don't know what the fuck is going on again.
It's more of an existential "what the fuck is going on" than not knowing what to do. I've got two directions I can still explore plus apparently a third has opened up due to me collecting my mail. Thank you though
Is that an ARG? Am I being filmed or something? Spin in my chair three times to open the secret door in the Queen in the Iron Mask's weird statue room.
Not gonna drink any gross blood though. The church kinda sucks and all but I don't think so thank you. Also you seem like the invasion covenant so double fuck you.
Oh you made it to Cainhurst. Nice. If you met Alfred earlier, head back to where you ran into him the second time once you've fully explored the throne room.
Fair to say that I don't know anyone's names since no one tells me their names.
I also don't enjoy the lack of boss soul equivalents. It's nice to get that little nugget of lore about the big monster I just killed, and not getting that when I smash this weird multi-armed potato head into the dirt is a bit of a letdown.
E: Did I just get super goddamn lucky getting a rank 15 bloodgem, and so that trophy, off the level 3 boss of the lower hintertomb chalice?

no, farming bosses in chalices is where the best blood gems come from.

Alfred is the guy near the entrance down to Old Yharnam, if you take the stairs up and around instead of going in the chapel and down the stairs under the coffin. You see him again at the overlook before the stairs down to the Forbidden Woods.
Chalices do indeed offer the best gems. I can give you specifics but they would come with some very light spoilers.
As far as lore, Bloodborne is the kind of game that leaves some questions unanswered, even after beating it a few times and chewing over the story. Getting through Bergynwerth will answer some questions but raise others. Read the item descriptions, they'll help with a few things. If you get a little further in and still have major questions let me know.
This is one of the few times I remember watching the remasters trickle out, and not minding because I'm interested in most. SotC, Okami, .hack//GU, all I need is an announcement for Tokyo Jungle to be remastered and with online co-op, and I'll have almost zero reason to own my PS3 anymore.
I could never get into Okami. I've tried so many times and people claimed it was a better Zelda game than Zelda... but it just wasn't any fun to me. I'll give it another rent though. Maybe it'll stick this time.
I loved the absolute shit out of Okami, and I had to play it with the horrible "waggle the wiimote to do attacks" controls. It's gorgeous, the story is fun, the combat is pretty cool. It's maybe slightly too long, but it's still fun to the end.
Okami Is My Second Favorite Zelda Actually, Because Link To The Past Also Exists
... Making that statement accurate doesn't feel as snappy as the dumb jokey version.

Okami is one of the best Zelda-like games I've ever played. The graphics and music are great, the main character is a hoot to watch (she is, after all, a wolf at heart), and the paintbrush powers were a novel mechanic that kept getting better as the game went on.

By coincidence I just started playing Okami a few days ago. I'm playing the Wii version and it's my first experience with the game. I'm enjoying it immensely, and it's "clicked" with me far quicker than any other Zelda has.
Waggling to perform the basic attack is annoying, though. But great use of pointer controls.
I'm glad more people will get a chance to try it out.

Totally not staying that high up, but I'll take it.

Just watched it today. Only unfortunate bit is that it's more of a mockery of Knack 1 and he doesn't really get into 2 all that much.

Once you're through the forest head to Byrgenwerth and look for Master Willem. He'll point you in the right direction.

Today's one?
That one is staying right there. Or close enough, anyway.
I hope you like sports.
It wasn't mentioned in the blog post, but there's a Fifa 18 demo due sometime this week as well.

Yeah I'll rent it. Worst case is I lose an hour or so of my life.
That said I'll probably get it again.
Amaterasu is one of my favorite protagonists.
It has one of the best soundtracks in gaming.
So it kinda drowns out anything else
