What's going on fellow Noobs?
In today's blind Bloodborne episode, we continue exploring this cathedral in Yharnam, marveling at just how well this area is designed. There are just so many paths to take! We also find another friendly face in a "Vileblood" hunter named
Alfred. So, how do I use gestures in this game? xD
Thanks for watching and please be sure to Like the video (if you enjoyed it) and leave a comment below. :)

NOTE: Bloodborne's description will be a work in progress because this is a blind run and I don't want to spoil anything for you or myself so expect to see updates as we learn more about the game. :)
Bloodborne is a
2015 action role-playing game directed by
Hidetaka Miyazaki (father of the
Souls series), developed by
From Software, and published by
Sony Computer Entertainment exclusively for the
PlayStation 4.
Bloodborne is a spiritual successor to the
Dark Souls series (much like Dark Souls 1 was to
Demon's Souls) and contains many features or themes that are familiar to fans of the
Souls' series.
Players can return to a safe zone, known as the
Hunter's
Dream, from lanterns (like bonfires) spread throughout the world. Doing so replenishes health, but repopulates monsters in the game world.
Combat is fast-paced and requires an offensive approach in order for players to combat dense hordes of enemies. The player character is agile and is able to perform sweeping dashes around enemies while locked on.
The new risk versus reward style of gameplay is emphasized through Bloodborne 's health regain system, which allows the player to, within a small window of time, recover portions of lost health by striking back at the player's attacker.
Most melee weapons can transform into two alternate states; each state encourages a different approach to combat. The Saw
Cleaver, for example, in its initial state can be used to quickly dispatch enemies in cramped areas, but when transformed into its secondary state it becomes an extended blade more suited for crowd control. There are no shields!
Instead, players are provided with guns and other weapons (like torches) to equip to their left hand as a sort of parrying maneuver to interrupt/stun enemy attacks. This parry can then be followed up with a critical attack (riposte) from the player's melee weapon. The lack of a shield plus this more offensive combat style help solidify Bloodborne's suspenseful and thrilling atmosphere.
Enemies drop experience points in the form of
Blood Echoes (they're called
Souls duh! ;) ). Should the player die, their Blood Echoes could be lost at the location of their death. If they are able to reach that
point again they can regain them (like a Souls game). OR Blood Echoes may be captured by an opponent, typically identified by glowing purple eyes. Defeating this opponent will return lost Blood Echoes. Enemies also drop Blood Vials, used as healing potions, and
Quicksilver Bullets, generic ammunition for ranged weaponry. Players can also sacrifice health to create Quicksilver Bullets for their ranged weaponry.
Multiplayer is present as well. By expending a consumable item, players can summon other players to help with boss battles or large groups of enemies. And there is of course the invasion component of online play as well. Can't wait to experience that. xD
