It’s basically Breath of the Wild open design where it lets you know your overarching goal but nothing else + Dark Souls

It’s fire

Theres only one goal in the others tho like this, n u have waypoints on ur map that point u to the next major moment/area.

I respect it tho.

18hrs and haven't been to the castle yet

Not a bad take though, I love this game and its actually up there with Witcher 3 for best open world games I have ever played.

If you were to ask me if I wanted Bloodborne 2 to be Open World or Linear I would have to say Linear.

I was 30 hours n level 35 dont feel bad

Yharnam city as a full open world tho like Arkham Knight but better n intricate like this

If they did a bb in past of yharnam an open world would be fire.

Hunting beasts in the woods with diff factions n slowly peeling back the alien side through diff discoveries n events. The politics.

Would be wild, half city half forest n have a layer of the aliens.

Seeing parts of yharnam alive.

I'm already 20hrs in

I have to fight myself to put the game down

same

Wut u mean

I just mean the game does guide u if u want to follow it

The golden waves on your map point toward major grace points n point of interests is what i meant, regarding ur goal n what to do thing

Its a waypoint without being mandatory n in ur face

The game ist kinda a overkill of the souls formula.
I like the compact semi open world of Dark Souls more

This game does for me what I assume people felt when they played Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1 on release or for the first time

F*** these handicapped birds

I meant like im deep enough in the game to understand the mechanics lol

I just prefer the smaller tightly crafted experience, which they do have in the major areas and that's where I enjoy this the most

Game is still heat though lol

bruh, just found a beefy dragon while searching for a key. mf is so strong lmao

Oh my bad i thot u meant u want more structure/guidance n i thot that would help.

Some still dont know the map grace thing.

Other parts i get, im not mad at either option for whatever the next title is.

These finger spider enemies are not fun at all lmao. There’s always that one thing that genuinely ruins the great momentum in a FromSoft game. I don’t understand why they do s*** like this. Let’s just fill a tiny room with like 15 of the same f***ing huge enemies that can run halfway across the ground in a split second and kill the player in two hits. S*** is just annoying it’s not even enjoyable

Game was doing good til I got to this location with the big ass vulture. I can’t even move just all stuttering.

You found his mask yet?

Yeah I was way over leveled did Margit in one try

The ugly stinky baby hand elephant things with teeth on their finger faces n the centipede ladies in ds3

The thing is , if you played the game the classic set piece style and immersion of from software is still there and it’s even on a grander scale than ever before. Being open world didn’t diminished any of the strengths from software games have, it brought those strengths to new heights

what bosses have you guys killed?

so far i've got margit > godrick > magma wyrm > leonine misbegotten > loretta

If you mean main bosses ive only done one which is margit, doing stormveil rn

Optional bosses ive done like 17 maybe a bit more
