From Software's Bloodborne

Thank you both

Finally got back to the game and managed to beat Ebrietas. Managed to get into a good grove of standing beside her and dodging the tentacles while hitting her with a arcane charged axe. Not really worth it.

Expansion.

Praise the Red Moon!

[Excited squeeing]

*squirt*

I just nabbed the Cainhurst summons from a certain quack's home.

Would I be better off waiting a bit before I head to the castle (I'm half way through the forest and I've already killed the witches), or would I be OK going straight there?

I suggest waiting a bit. It's not a particularly hard area, but the enemies can be quite annoying.

A glitch turned Bloodborne into a classic RPG PC game, now where is the glorious 60fps?

New Patch!

Featuring Blood Stone drops for Chalice dungeons, buyable Blood Chunks, being able to store Vials and Bullets up to 600, reduced Bullet costs for Hunter Tools, and more!

Six-hundred bullets and blood vials? Holy crow. At least once I grind them back up that'll probably be the last time I have to grind for them. That is definitely a huge benefit.

Any idea how you lose the blood-addled status?

I'm not sure. And that patch and the DLC is making me regret trading it in after just one playthrough.

Also, been looking up the lore and the like. Sooooo, this whole world is basically the Matrix?

Naaaah, it's H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle.

Lovecraft was doing The Matrix decades before The Wachowski Siblings it appears.

Seriously though, this game does have one of the best uses of the whole "false reality" story trope I've experienced.

It isn't a false reality, though. The point is that those realities are all pretty damn real, not just illusions. So it's more a Bio Shock Infinite kind of thing, only that the planes of reality aren't different parallel versions of the same dimension.

So the Nightmare of Mensis is now seeping over into the DC universe ...?

Silly faceless goons. Those eyes are supposed to be on the inside!

So Adella, a member of the Church, becomes obsessed with the Hunter. I just remembered Annalise said that the Hunter was "moon-scented", could that have anything to do with it? Hell, real Iosekfa suddenly and quickly wants to meet you face-to-face while saying she's not supposed to think so (Well, the imposter kills her before anything happens). Strange...

Is anyone else having trouble finding other players to co-op with? I've spent about 5 insight trying to get help with Logarius (I'm level 58, so being to high shouldn't be a problem?).

Aside from one success with the resonant bell (which left me only 4 insight down), I haven't had anything.

EDIT: Another thing I've noticed; the resonant bell keeps displaying a "searching" message, but the beckoning bell doesn't. Is that normal?

I have noticed the latter thing, yes. I assume it's normal.

I haven't had any particular trouble summoning other players, but I haven't really done it all that often either. They seem a bit thin on the ground in general. I don't think I have ever got someone very quickly, and it's usually been something like 5-10 minutes before I get someone.

I tried closing down the application (since that caused some networking issues before) and that seems to have made finding games to join easier. I still haven't tested it with the Beckoning Bell again, yet.

How are you supposed to pronounce it, anyway?

Gascoigne, while of Old French origin, is an official British name, pronounced simply "Gas-Coin". So Marcus has it right.

Yeah, there was a British footballer a while back also called Gascoigne, so I go with that pronunciation.
