My first 20-40 minutes in bloodborne was mass confusion and anxiety. I was sitting there thinking HELL NO wtf was I thinking buying this shyt?
I think it was after i discovered my first lamp/shortcut I realized, hold up, I’m not supposed to fight EVERY enemy?
I can level up?
I can get armor and weapon upgrades that make these enemies easier?
I can summon people to come help me get out of this jam?
This huge ass first boss is completely optional?
The hardest thing about these games is the fact that they just throw you in the deep in. No tutorials aside from little hints on the ground, when other games give you like 3 hour tutorials. They just expect you to adopt the rules of the game on your own. Once you know the rules it becomes manageable and fun.
