Sometimes I think there are elements of Bloodborne that are deliberately designed to be bullshit for first-timers and frustrate them.
An early example is when you fight against Blood Starved Beast. If you are fighting him for the first time, how the fuck are you supposed to recognize when he is going to do his grab? His grabbing wind-up doesn't follow the traditional tells of a grab attack. Grab attacks usually involve a wind-up animation of a character looking like it's about to hug you (like Ebrietas and Winter Lanterns). With BSB, the wind-up is him basically freezing in place for a second before lunging at you.
Furthermore, when you do get grabbed the first time, chances are likely that you will (1) get left with a sliver of health since, after all, you most likely are fighting him very early in the game, and (2) get poisoned, so you basically are already dead anyway since you won't have time to heal before the poison kills you.
And please don't tell me to git gud. I've played through Bloodborne for 500 hours and I can beat BSB without any problems. It's just that today I watched a cousin of mine play Bloodborne for the first time and I'm noticing his frustration against BSB because he got grabbed by that attack and died. At that point, he had already fought BSB like 6 times and never had it do the grab before.
I feel sorry for him and am tempted to tell him that he can cheese BSB easily by circlestrafing to the left.
Cooper King
I still don't know how to predict that grab attack and get killed by it sometimes even today. It's the only poorly designed part of that fight. Grab attacks in general are really poorly designed in Souls games.
Juan Gutierrez

Nicholas Nelson
His grab does hace a tell though, he stops for a sec and jumps at you witg both arms open. After 500 hours of playing bb, you should of noticed this.
Carson Watson
No
You have to be stupid to mash in front of the guy when he stands still for 5 seconds when for the whole fight the boss had been slippery as fuck You either get behind the guy and avoid him completely or you backpedal enough to be able to reaction dodge it
Jordan Ortiz
Yes, I do know that. Did you actually read my entire post? I mention that: "With BSB, the wind-up is him basically freezing in place for a second before lunging at you." It's a tell but it's not a very good tell for something as damaging as a grab. The grabs for bosses like Ebrietas or enemies like the Winter Lanterns or the Brainsuckers are far more accurate for what type of attack they're about to do.
Caleb Russell
i think bsb is fine. the real no-tell is the charge of chalice maneater boar.
Jaxon Perez
>when he stands still for 5 seconds
Lots of enemies stand still and don't do anything aferwards. A first-timer won't even consider the possibility that something like that could lead to a grab.
Anthony Wright
Guess you just gotta git gud then? Donno what else to tell you man.
James Johnson
Tell your faggot little cousin to git gud
Henry Lopez
It seems like you really didn't actually read my entire post, because I specifically mention:
> And please don't tell me to git gud. I've played through Bloodborne for 500 hours and I can beat BSB without any problems.

So I'm talking about me having trouble with BSB. I'm talking about my relative.
Luke Young
*not talking about me
Liam Collins
Do you wants us to hold his hand or what? Tell him when the big vagina face stands still for a couple of seconds he'll do the grab, if he still gets grabbed, tell him to git gud.
Kayden Russell
You understand that it's possible to criticize the game for something that is actually a valid fault, right? "lmao git gud" is not the end of all discussion.
Eli Lewis
Well, I want him to actually like the game. I don't want him to quit. So if he dies like 3-4 more times. I'll just tell him that the strategy is to circle strafe everything to the left. He still has to be careful because he can still get hurt by some of BSB's extremely wide slash fluries, but he'll have a much easier time.
Nolan Butler
Still sounds like a personal problem.
Charles Cox
You can't make people like souls games. They either do or they don't. My friend got to the capra demon in ds1 and straight up quit the game. He refuses to play souls games to this day.
Bentley Collins
Who would win, 3 twinks or 1 spindly boi? thanks miku and NMW!
Nicholas Murphy
You should be able to figure that something's up when a BOSS that doesnt stop in its tracks for one second suddendly stands still Also even if you dont you should still be able to dodge it unless you're standing directly in front of it Also if you have more than 75% of your health on your 1st playthrough you wont die from it, but if you do, you wont die from it again
Charles Mitchell
i honestly like defiled amy as a fight so much, nothing like knowing you have to fight a boss really well cause everything it does will one shot you
co op boss attack resets are scary as hell though, hope they fix up the netcode for shadows die twice
Grayson Scott
>Implying We don't even know what Shadows Die Twice even is.
Adam Myers
The wind up is that BSB stands still for a good half a minute before doing it. It is REALLY easy to predict because otherwise BSB keeps moving towards you or hopping to the sides. The only times he stops is to either fart in 3rd phase or to jump, and its easy to tell those apart since fart has a different animation and he roars when he does it. The actual noobtrap is fighting amelia with a +1 weapon.

Sorry to break it to you user, but Maria is shit tier.
Lincoln Davis
but she hug you user
Anthony Baker
Wait, is that just online latency or something? Or is this offline and the NPC really did do both the Augur of Ebrietas and A Call Beyond at the exact same time?
Brody Wood
I think it's funny to find him just hanging in a dark cave, always thought he'd be in a bath.

She's not pregnant though
Daniel Myers
But she will be
Angel Adams
dont you get the a cord for killing her late game ? >Raise children >turn them into Celestial Emissary
Ryder Brown
>dont you get the a cord for killing her late game ? This one mentions Willem and she has access to the Woods, my theory is that she stole it from him and started experimenting on people. All of this is fanfiction though but Arianna has a different model when pregnant, she has a big belly a bit after the Blood Moon, and Imposefka doesn't.

John Phillips
Sometimes, when I play bloodborne late at night, i can almost hear a baby crying in the distance. It comes and goes, but it's so faint, I'm sure im imagining it.
Logan Peterson
isnt that insight related ?
Easton Williams
You can hear Mergo crying in some areas if you have 60 Insight or have progressed enough in the story.
