![]() You get invincibility frames during rolls, and the lighter your roll is, the longer your invincibility frames last. It becomes a lot more effective when you have a medium or light roll. Dodging/rolling isn't very effective with a fatty roll. Items that increase poise are very useful, and should be kept. ![]() Higher poise means you can block more, which can be essential against bosses. Increasing one of your stats (I.don't remember which one offhand) lets you equip more without the slowdown and generally you don't want to reach the point where you do the "fat roll" (bellyflop) or, even worse, become incapable of dodging at all.įinally for this post, poise is a stat that determines how much damage you can block from one attack without it breaking your guard. Weapons also require certain minimum stats to wield properly, which are listed on the weapon's description page.įinally, for equipment, the heavier your character is (that is, the greater the weight of equipment they're wearing) the slower they'll move and dodge. So a sword with an 'A' under Strength does more damage the higher your strength is, while one with a 'C' under Strength and Dex will do slightly more damage as both of those increase. The better that letter ('A' is better than 'B') is the more the weapon will benefit from that stat. What that means is that the item will do more damage based on how high your stat represented by that icon is. You'll notice that every weapon has, on its item screen, a row of icons with various letters or '-' under them. This also helps train you to parry properly. As such, the best thing to do is to keep your shield up until an enemy attacks, then counter-attack and, now that you know how they indicate they're going to attack, keep your shield down until they're about to strike again. Further, holding up a shield hugely slows the rate at which you regain endurance. Different weapons take different amounts of endurance to use, and the more damage you block the more endurance is used. ![]() Every attack, dodge, block, and run you make uses up endurance, but it starts regenerating a split second after you use it. May as well give a quick guide to endurance, equipment scaling, and poise:Įndurance is the green bar under your health. There are a few that hit you without much warning, but generally you'll know what you're getting into if you pay attention, and you'll almost never end up in a situation where you can't win, if you're good enough. The general rule-of-thumb is that you should kindle the bonfire before a boss that's giving you trouble, asĪnd yeah, Dark Souls is very good about making deaths fair. (Spoiler alert: there’s a lot of interest.Just Firelink gives you 10 right now, you'll have to kindle the others separately. Plus, a Bloodborne Remaster will inevitably also be a good way for Sony to gauge the community’s interest in a Bloodborne sequel. That's especially true when you consider the continued success and influence of From Software games in the six years since Bloodborne’s original release. It’s a new PlayStation IP too young to be ‘iconic PlayStation’, which many people outside of the PlayStation ecosystem would love to play. Or at least timed exclusives anyway.īloodborne meets these criteria, too. Not only is there a market out there for these games that won’t cut into PlayStation sales, but bringing these games to PC helps to drum up interest in any sure-to-be PlayStation exclusive follow-ups, like Horizon Forbidden West or Days Gone 2. We have a sneaking suspicion that the games Sony chooses to bring to PC aren't random though.ĭeath Stranding, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Days Gone are all new IPs in the PlayStation universe, perhaps too new to be considered PlayStation icons and still relatively unknown to the wider gaming community outside of PlayStation gamers. Then, games from Sony’s first-party studios started coming to PC, like Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn, and Sony has promised more games will come to PC, too, like the recently announced Days Gone port. This began with titles like Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human, Nioh, and Yakuza, which were originally developed by third-party studios exclusively for PlayStation platforms.
