This is such a dickhead post! :lol:

In what way?

Genuinely I do not understand how it's a problem - vials drop like candy from a pinata in this game! I'm not in any way suggesting I was great at the game, I suspect I played it with a 'normal' level of challenge and failure, which is why I don't get how vials can be a problem. I was less than halfway through the game when I hit the 600 storage limit for vials

Yeah, I've had to farm. It's tedious.

Because you're telling people who had a bit of trouble with an aspect of the game "oh this was objectively very easy, what's wrong with you?". :lol: :fp: Well, whatever! Being bad at Bloodborne doesn't bruise me - I thought it was a crap game so I'll wear being bad at it with pride!

Ok.

But I wasn't telling you or anyone there were bad, I was trying to understand the situation because it didn't tally with my experience. As I said last time, I in no way believe I am better than the next person at this game and I didn't experience this problem - that's why I'm enquiring about it.

Glad you aren't bruised though :)

I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your tone - I assumed you were winding me up on purpose as a joke so that's why I was responding in kind. If we're being serious: I used lots of Blood Vials because I had to heal a lot. I don't think that's terribly uncommon, but I'm glad it wasn't an issue for you.

Had an hour or so this evening. Asylum Demon and Taurus Demon down first go. Grabbed the Drake Sword (upgraded it to max, obvs :roll: ) and reached that silver bull bastard thing, which killed me. Current deaths: 1!

Just that that's the one that tipped me over into needing to farm blood vials!

This took me at least 50 attempts.

more heat than light, in the DS2 thread wrote:Ok, I need help now. The Fume Knight is impossible. It's an absolute barrel of bullshit. I can just about make it to the second phase and then he puts that fire on his sword and I cant get anywhere near him. Not to mention he kills me when his sword is NOWHERE strawberry floating NEAR ME. Feel like doing a chalky right now.

Not heard of Fume Knight before, just quickly looked him up - he's a Dark Souls 2 boss so that's something for me to look forward to!

:datass:

One of the things I always find fascinating about these games is the variety in what people find to be the hard parts - there are bosses that I know others struggled with which I found to be relatively painless (Blood-starved Beast in BB for example) but then there are others where the consensus seems to be that they are on the easier end of the spectrum but I've struggled with them.

I don't think there's really any universal way of saying that "boss X is the hardest" - so much depends on your individual play style and approach. Part of the problem I think is that it's easy to get into a bit of a rut and think that the tactics you used for one boss should work on all of them and sometimes I think players are reluctant to actually observe and adapt to what each boss is throwing at them

Beaten 2-2 and 3-2 in Demon's Souls now. It's starting to get a bit more difficult now - I had to try Flamelurker a couple of times, and Maneater also took me a few goes. 4-2 next!

I haven't touched world 5 at all yet because I heard it's worth putting off as long as possible :shifty:

Bell Gargoyles are down. I'm surprised by how much I remember, but there are definite gaps. Like the gate in Darkroot garden, I'm sure someone sells the key. And I can't remember which way Blighttown is. But I'm happy just exploring for now.

7 deaths.
