So, what are you going to do?!
Do you go full aggro and trade hit for hit, using the Rally system to regain health? Nah, it hits harder. Trading won’t work. Alright. How about casting some ranged spells? It closes the distance too quickly and there’s too much end lag at the end of the cast. Wait, that one leaping attack left it vulnerable. Maybe it can be back-stabbed. Maybe riposted.
Whoops, didn’t space that well. I’m dead. Shoot! Didn’t know it could do that, I’m dead. Dang, my timing was off, I’m dead. Man, Bloodborne is awesome.
My date just smiled and nodded her head. I didn’t feel bad confessing my love for another to her, after all, she’s a gamer too. It wasn’t until I’d paused mid-sonnet that I realized just how much Bloodborne challenged me as a person and that that is why I love it so much. Recounting my recent fail’s to her was great and the elation was only surpassed when I told her the winning strategy I eventually used. Adapt, survive, then overcome or get shamefully rekt. That is the Bloodborne experience for most, myself included. But how would she do against Vicar Amelia? What would she do against the Orphan of Kos?
I would love to see you play it! Maybe I’ll bring my PS4 over next time?
Sure! Sounds fun!
She poked around the shiny white rice edge of her one remaining piece of sushi and rotated it before lifting it to her mouth. In my head I poked around the flame-engulfed body of Laurence towering over me and spewing fire around the altar/arena, savoring the fight to come. Obsessing with the Hunt demands attention to detail and at least some forethought, along with developing the ability to handle stressful and dynamic situations. I hadn’t realized that Bloodborne was shaping my analytical thinking, but it really did. Sharpening my timing and judgement like the serrated teeth of my beloved Saw Cleaver.
Anyways, my bro started playing. He’s dying and raging so much, it’s hilarious! Oh yeah, I think you’ll love the world design, especially the architecture. Here, let me show you. *Google’s image of Grand Cathedral*
It’s so pretty!
Your face is!
A peck on the lips for me, a pat on the back for Bloodborne. You’re in the know, right?
