Congratulations!
Is this your first souls game?
it’s my first souls game i have completed, first one i played was elden ring
Time to play the Big 3 😉
Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 2, and Sekiro?
Sekiro is the final boss, Demons' Souls isn't even invited 😂
the Big 3
Dark Souls 3 🔥
Nice dude! If you didn’t complete Elden Ring yet and struggled with it as a first souls game I would highly recommend you check out “Lies of P” next. It’s quite similar to bloodborne and also introduces a lot of the advanced souls mechanics in a beginner friendly manner with lots of good quality of life changes from the classic souls games without diluting the core experience.
for me i find Elden Ring easy as piss but BB gave me problems though lol
Yeah the DLC for Elden Ring definitely kicked it up a notch. The base game definitely was easy if you've been playing souls games, I still found it pretty fun though
Yeah the difficulty and Elden Ring in general suffer a lot because of the open world. Lies of P is more like a classic souls game but with a lot of quality of life upgrades and multiple difficulty modes for beginners.
Finish one is no small achievement!
One of the souls like i enjoyed the most for lore and setting. The story and plot twists are incredible. So sad there is not a sequel.
Congrats :)
What weapon did you use?
I've been having a blast playing this on my stream deck
Wow how did you make that work?
I didn't. I was kidding. But that would sure be awesome.
Lol yeah that would be nice. I've heard of ppl playing it on emulator, but its always a streamer or modding micro celeb.
It's not very hard to do these days. Check out my other comment in the thread.
It's actually pretty easy to get working on PC (in 60fps) these days with emulation. Like you get the emulator, and it literally has an option to connect to the bloodborne 60fps rom hack repository within the emulator itself.
Haven't tried it on Steam Deck specifically, but it worked surprisingly well on my laptop when I tested it out several months back.
Don't have the link off hand but it's not hard to find. I could probably find the link if someone really wants it and can't find it themselves.
EDIT: not sure if counts, but I did a good portion of my BB playthrough on my Deck, streaming from my PS5.
Was it hard?
That depends on the player; It's as hard as you want it to be, (you can over level if you're struggling, or do a challenge run staying under level, no upgrades, etc.) definitely not hard compared to today's soulslike standards. If you are new to the genre it may take some adjustment, but the game is worth it.
Same a couple of days ago, great game!
Congratulations! There are only more good things waiting for you
Well done, Hoonter!! Truly a marvelous game, my personal favorite. <3 Who was your favorite boss?
I just had that with Expedition 33. Every twist had me going "what?" And getting those perfect dodges was chef's kiss
