Hey folks,
I've been playing and platinum-ing the Souls games since Demon's, and it's become painfully clear to me that I thrived on being a slow, passive player. Yes, I hid behind a shield. I'd use bows when possible. Spells weren't out of the question either. Whatever worked, it worked for me. I felt like I got these games, but clearly the devs of Bloodborne saw fit to correct me.
I'm having a serious problem adjusting to this play-style they seem to be forcing on everyone who plays the game. I by some miracle killed the second boss "Father" in one shot, but it all went downhill from there. I'm able to get through levels without more than a death or two, but the bosses man. I can't get these guys. Blood-starved beast just tore the shit out of me and I went into Undead Giant with a bad mood, and just sort of bum-rushed him with my head totally turned off for about 20 deaths until he fell over. I'm not getting it, it's not satisfying when I finally win.
I'm not asking for any tips on how to adjust, my reaction time is just too piss-poor to really work it out. Just curious how people think of the stripped-down options in bloodborne, and what it does to the variety of character builds out there. I honestly am a little bummed at how few options to combat there seem to be, but I don't blame it for all my deaths to bosses. That's kind of just on me.
