[RoboPlato]

The sawblade is just too mainstream for me. Gotta go with the cane.

It's cool as fuck though. I've been taken with that weapon since I first saw it.

Gonna go STR/Cleaver to start. Seems best for new players.

 

[Nuszka]

Same here, because EU :-\

EU UK here , playing in less then 6 hours. Could not digest additional 3 days of waiting.

 

[Windom Earle]

I already don't understand the memes surrounding this game and OT. God bless media blackout.

 

[Ryuuga]

All my cane users lean this way:

 

[super-famicom]

I'm going pimp cane all the way baby.

So, how would i go about making a skill based character. ?

Probably

Spoiler

Vitality 50
Endurance 40
Strength (as much as you need to wield the weapon of your choice)
Skill 50
Bloodtinge (as much as you need)
Arcane (as much as you need)

Equip your favorite weapon that scales well with Skill, and go to town

 

[NoSkillz187]

Also I thought the passcode was 8 characters max?

Thanks.

[GribbleGrunger]

When is the review thread likely to go up?

 

[Darksol]

For those who keep asking about starting stats and weapons, I came across this simple breakdown of the starting options, along with advice for newcomers.

Here you go.

 

[BokehKing]

Seems like just yesterday when the project beast thread was made

[bananafactory]

When is the review thread likely to go up?

Reviews hit at 7 pm pacific tonight so the thread should be up in just over 3 hours

 

[Conkerkid11]

The fake OT was closed.

The real OT was closed.

And now the fake one is back, with content from the real.

Seriously GAF. Sometimes...

 

[realcZk]

military veteran, pimp cane and blunderbuss

theres no other way

 

[Deified Data]

The sawblade is just too mainstream for me. Gotta go with the cane.

Bet sawblade's so mainstream that no one will pick it and ironically become the niche choice.

I'm expecting a lot of Threaded Cane users in the first week or so.

 

[robo_qwop]

Hype boner tumescent to the point it had an aneurysm.

 

[super-famicom]

The sawblade is just too mainstream for me. Gotta go with the cane.

I agree. Plus that scaling with Skill!

 

[Roussow]

I watched a bit of streamage the other day- but only the early game -- I saw all three weapons.

here's my impression based on seeing them and not actually playing:

axe: slower/heavier, probably str based
cane: faster and doesn't hit hard, skill based, the whip mode has pretty big AOE reach. it seems to be a less effective weapon against bosses, but that could just have been a player skill issue.
saw blade: fast versatile weapon, probably the most accessible of the three. not sure if str or skill based. probably both.

Cheers!
Looking at them all -- I'd probably go with the saw blade, seems like the safest choice -- Although I could just start the game another time just to see what I'd think of the Cane, it looks dope, but that thing about the bosses is concerning.

 

[ChuckNyce]

Are guns affected by Strength/Skill?

The Bloodtinge stat affects gun damage to my knowledge. Here's a good resource for stats and stuff http://www.craveonline.com/gaming/a...your-starting-class-and-weapons-in-bloodborne

Edit: beaten with a cane upside the head

 

[Draper]

I have no time for such puny weapons. Axe it is.

That's kinda what I'm leaning towards, but I want a dexterity build.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

I wanna play this game soo badly

Is there respecing?

Press X to respec.

Probably
*snip to be extra safe regarding potential spoilers*

I was on complete media blackout so I hope my build isn't too shitty first time around.

 

[Soriku]

Been going over the Origins for what feels like an hour now and still haven't made a choice.

I'm hopeless.

 

[SlowRevolution]

is this good or bad

 

[Draper]

Here you go breh. We missed out people have RISEN

Could...could you somehow include by faceless avatar?

 

[Mad Season]

only 6 weapons in this game or do you find more variation?

 

[EL CUCO]

KOJIMA!! I'm sorry i purged my friend list to get helldivers to work. I"ll add you back right away

I had to do the same thing. Had to saw off 150 friends in under 10 min. There was bound to be collateral damage.

 

[Hoo-doo]

is this good or bad

It has to be good.

 

[robo_qwop]

Does the cane scale with str or skill?

 

[Derpyduck]

The damage is affected by bloodtinge.

Referring to being able to carry them.

 

[noomi]

I'll need some help, first Souls experience for me. So not ready. So ready.

First for me and Messiek as well, we got you dude.

Btw....

I totally cheese one of the bosses I feel so dirty now.... I didn't earn it guys I didn't earn it!

 

[The Xtortionist]

Does the cane scale with str or skill?

skill

 

[tapedeck]

Argh..I'm seriously debating buying a PS4 much earlier than I planned on just for this game. I'll wait for reviews/GAF impressions but if this game lives up to the hype I'm goin in.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

is this good or bad

Depends, I would guess it is at least very detailed then.

 

[mordecaii83]
