Bloodborne BUT With The IGN Guide
Рет қаралды 2,017,932
2 жыл бұрынAfter years of saying I use the IGN strategy guide, I actually use one.
I'm going to be real here, it was very hard to read every single page in full detail and keep everything smooth - I GOT A LOT OF THINGS WRONG!!! THERE ARE POINTS IN THE GUIDE WHERE IT SAYS THE SHIELD IS INFACT USELESS AMONG OTHER THINGS ECT!!!! This is all just meant to be a really funny fun video so don't treat this too seriously!!
Thanks for watching you epic gamers!! Make sure to smiddy smash the bell and maybe subscribe to never see content like this again and you will be like wait wtf why did i sub to this

I've actually seen a video talking about pvp uses a few years ago. apparently it can block the players bullets ? other than that there'S a door you can block, giving you the chance to trap players against a horde of enemies. I guess.

@@PrimordialNightmare it has noticeably high blood defense which means it's actually brilliant for certain specific fights. In particular it can completely hose the Bloody Crow, which is arguably the hardest fight in the game. The Loch Shield from the DLC has similar benefits against arcane. They're niche tools but they do excel in their niche.

Really doesn’t feel like the DLC guide was written by the same person as the base game one. Like the base guide was kinda lame at points but ultimately did accurately guide you to the end of the game, for the most part. The DLC guide is just trash.

Plus, base guide had some charm to it too, along with some humor. It also helped out, in some sense too. The DLC is just absolutely shit and lazy, didn't even try at all, lacking any actual guidance and just a downgrade from the first one.

What I suspect might've happened here, my dear sweet baby angels: Due to popular demand, the author was probably tasked with playing through the game, writing up a walkthrough and getting it online posthaste. So when he finally got around to doing the writing process of the job, he was probably so sleep deprived that he was very confused about what game he was writing about, who he was writing this for, what he was writing and who the fuck he himself even was at that point in time. That's the best explanation I can come up with cause what the actual fuck?! Loving this playthrough, by the way! Awesome idea!
