Definitely check it out. I think it's pretty cheap on the PS Store. I think I paid about $20 for a complete black label original copy, though.
I'm starting to dread hearing the music that plays when Nemesis is near, plus hearing that door slam when you run into another area and he chases you. He's relentless.
The puzzles have been pretty easy so far. I'm playing it on Easy so I have a ton of ammo. My healing supplies are getting pretty low though. Nemesis always seems to land a hit or two on me while I'm trying to run from him.. Or I get fed up with running away and try to make a stand, blasting away at him with the shotgun. Probably not the best thing to do, lol!
Wii:
-Metroid Prime Trilogy... the 2nd game. Going to try to finish it (at the end), and see if I can play through hard hyper mode (most difficult one) to unlock more stuff, but hopefully not hit a wall
iOS:
-Cut The Rope - For only $1, not too shabby. Expect to get thorugh this in a few weeks and be done with it.
-Plants Vs. Zombies 2 - Random new level everyday (requires internet access) and Yeti Zombie challenge every other day. Other wise, I play new contend when it gets updated
Android:
-Galaxy Trucker - (also for iOS). Got this on And since my Galaxy s4 has a larger screen. Campaign mode is fun. Not a fan of the board game, but this recreation is done well and makes it palpitable.

I'd say it's much harder overall.
I completed the first edition without too much trouble, and am surprised at the challenge that the First Sin edition poses.
I can't believe I'll have to use a specific item to complete the training area?
I've beaten bloodborne and now I'm doing my new game + run. I think I missed a lot of stuff although I thought I was being very careful and checked every inch of the levels(apparently not) BB is by far the least difficult in the soul series but I enjoyed every moment of it.
I'm now playing Child of Light on Xbox One and I'm enjoying it.

You're definitely not supposed to be in that "extra" area originally; I died a few times in there after getting the required branch!
Yeah I get that the Souls games and this game doesn't quite do it for many people. To be honest, I loved Demon's Souls, LOVED Dark Souls and really liked Dark Souls II (even tho it was a step down imo) but with Bloodborne I have to say that I didn't really liked it as much as I did the previous games. With the other games I couldn't stop playing them even after ending them. I would jump straight into New Game Plus and even start again to try out different builds.
But Bloodborne? Ehh...it didn't hook me the same way the other games did and right now I don't feel like going through New Game Plus or starting a new build. It is really lacking in terms of armours and weapons variety which limits severely the possible builds you can play with. It is also very samey as far as the atmosphere goes, everything is the same tone, a cool tone for sure, but it gets old after a while.
In terms of mechanics it felt like a step backwards in many ways specially from Dark Souls and as far as giving you a sense of purpose or goal, it really fell short compared to Demon's and Dark Souls. Neither of those games held your hand or spoond fed you anything but at least gave you enough information to ground you and give you a sense of what you needed to do and why, which is something that makes you care about the world you are in. With Bloodborne, as much as I liked the art direction and the level design, the lack of information and fleshing out of the lore just hindered my immersion in the world and a lot of the time it just felt disorienting and random.
Thanks!
Nice, yeah being aggressive can help sometimes in this game, it is rather different than with the previous games where hiding behind the shield was often the go to strategy. I ended up pushing him off the tower so he died of the fall. That bit of avoiding his machine gun in Old Yharnam was rather fun.
You know what? Unlike with the previous Souls games, I never felt the need to change the weapons. I did upgrade it up to +9 while also adding fortification gems that boosted physical attack stat but I found that I was strong enough to face everything just by leveling up (allocating enough points to Strength and Health primarily while throwing a share to Skill and Stamina too). With regards to the armour I found that most of the new sets I came across didn't really offer much of an improvement as far as brute stats goes. Sure some had higher poison, frenzy resistance or something like that but no armour feel tot me like a definite improvement.
Hope you continue having fun with it
Trying out Child of Light since it was free with Games with Gold this month and it isnt something I would normally be into.
I must say, it is absolutely amazing looking and enjoying the gameplay thus far. Very pleasantly surprised and really enjoying it.

Just finished Resident Evil 3!
I tried Uncharted 3 again in my PS3, still no dice. So I put the PS3 back in storage and put the Xbox 360 in its place.
Going to start on Prototype 2. I enjoyed the first one. Although now I don't remember too much about it - mainly just how fun it was running around grabbing random civilians, running up a building, and tossing the person off..lol

more Bloodborne stuff
Finally got past the Blood Starved beast, with a different strategy...
Now that it's done, I found the game opened up considerably, and I'm not sure that I agree with it holding out for this point to do so.
One thing that I find nice in a game, especially one with difficulty like this, is that you can do other things if you are stuck on a particular boss. Still gain progress in another area.
With Bloodborne, I found I was pretty stuck on the BS Beast, and was getting to the point (OK, not really) of putting it aside for a bit to cool off. Once I killed it, and my heartrate came down, I found the joy of exploring again in the game.
I do switch off with it and the First Sin edition of Dark Souls II, but would prefer if the PS4 allowed me to "pause" each of these games so switching wouldn't involve totally restarting the game when I wanted to go between them.
Still absolutely loving the game, and think it's well worth the effort

Work has kept me from gaming for two weeks, but got a chance to play some this weekend.
Friday night I played some more Bloodborne. Cleared the Yharnam sewers and beat the 2nd boss, Father Gascoigne. What a crazy boss fight that was once he transforms!
Saturday night I finished Bayonetta 2. All's i can say, is WOW, one of the best button masher action games I have ever played. Once you think the game can't get any better or crazier, it does! This game should have won more action game of the year awards, and blows Shadow of Mordor away in that category, IMHO. If you love action games, pick Bayonetta 2 up. It's seriously worth buying a Wii-U just for that game alone.
I'm going to have to add Bayonetta 1 to my backlog of games (game included with Bayo2), as well as add Devil May Cry HD remaster, which came out a couple of weeks ago.
For now, it's back to Bloodborne until Witcher 3 drops. It's hard to find the time to play it, as I'm super busy and Souls game sessions really need at least 2 hours uninterrupted play time to progress. At this pace, I'll beat this game sometime in 2016, hah.
No gaming Sunday, but I did watch the Game of Thrones Season Premiere. It's back, yippee!

Finished Bloodborne. What a masterpiece of Videogaming.
Now loooking forward to Start GTA V.
loading times still very long, but u will use it to think about your mistakes
Bloodborne patch is coming before the end of the month, improving load times and the 12 hour continuous play bug, amongst other things.
I forgot to mention that IGN is giving episode 1 Game of Thrones away for free for iOS (iphone/ipad):
http://www.ign.com/prime/promo/game-of-thrones-free
I don't know how it compares to console version, but assuming you have iOS device (good assumption on Mac forum, hee, hee), it should give you a very good idea if it's worth picking up the whole series on your console of choice.
I wanted to rent that game for 360 from Redbox, but you need to rent TWO disc to play campaign (only single disc for other platforms). I think Redbox is a ripoff for game rentals even for a single disc, and downright criminal making you rent two disc to play one game. Suffice to say, I did not rent it.
Good to hear you like it though!
