What I Played Today: April 7

Bloodborne

Hey look, after some trial and error, I finally figured out how to play this game. And if the off-chance that you don't want some general spoilers about Bloodborne that you aren't aware of already:


This alley is mine now; I can take out the entire posse, over and over if I have to. And...I do, unfortunately, as it took me a while to figure out how to kill the hunchback. The key is getting out of the way! So I managed to get through the hunchback courtyard and make it up to a bridge that has a couple of giant terrible werewolves on it! Alright I guess!

So, through sheer luck and constant running away in terror, I manage to take out both werewolves and make it across the bridge...only to find another hunchback. So I duck off the main path, make my way through an abandoned house full of monsters (there was this asshole in a wheelchair that had a GIANT GUN in his lap, I hate that guy so much), and find a gate that leads back to...the starting location. Normally this would be pretty frustrating, but not so here, since I now have a direction to go that isn't through that alley! Hurray!

So, a bunch more running around, some lady yells me out for what feels like ten minutes, and I make my way through...sigh...the sewers, which is full of birddogs (literal giant ravens that bark like dogs) and crawling corpses, and eventually find a bridge with a bunch of jerks on it, and also a flaming bale of hay. Well, that sucks, what's underneath that? Oh, a giant pig? Great. Great options.

But I make it past the bridge by killing the giant pig, getting a cool badge, and running up a set of stairs, only to run into a graveyard where there's some asshole who decides that I'm a beast, and he totally going to kill me with his axe. And he does! BUT. I don't wake up at the lantern, as usual, I wake up at home base, and the doll is finally awake! I can finally level up! Oh thank goodness. Also, the little bath dudes are willing to sell me more stuff, fantastic. Things are looking up.

So I try unsuccessfully to take on this jerk a couple of times, and got bored, so I went back to see what was going on at that bridge with the werewolves. You remember that, right? Anyway, I sneak past the werewolves, take out the hunchback (I am now, a few hours in, confident enough to take them on), and step further down to bridge to suddenly be attacked by a giant goddamn monster! Oh, it's the Cleric Beast! I've heard of this guy! So we fight, and with a bunch of dodging and some really awkward camera angles, I manage to slay it in one try! Haha! Take that Cleric Beast! I've beasted you, hahaha! (sorry sorry)

With that victory under my belt, I leveled up one more time and quit for the night. Did some mighty fine work today. Now just have to gear up and take out that asshole with the axe.
