You just simply ring the reckoning bell and meet someone nearby who is also looking for co-op battle. However, each use of this bell costs you insights points (these are obtained in many ways, such as killing bosses or using a series of specific objects). Once you kill the boss or die, the cooperative session will end and you sent back to your session again.
If you like playing with friends, then you can set a password to ensure that only people know the pass can join or you may join to your friends session , which greatly facilitates playing with your own buddies.
Invading other players session is a bit more limited, since we can only do it by a special bell(which you collect later in the game)and you can invade others session only at an area where there is a player playing in cooperative mode or if there is a sinister lady playing a dark bell (whom you can kill). Once you invade another gamer’s session you can attack them and this mode increases the intensity of the moment.
The beauty of Yharnam
Although the graphics are pretty decent, it seems to that it could have used more of the Playstation 4’s capacity at times. Thus, we believe that there is more room to enhance the graphics in certain parts of the game. However, some parts are absolutely mesmerizing with some really nice art and scenarios. You will discover these while roaming around in Yharnam. All this being said, you will encounter some disturbing disturbing pictures due to the games overall idea, but you probably expect it when buying the game..
Especially when fighting the big bosses, you will see how the game shines putting on an amazing display of giant beasts and the surroundings. All this can come with a negative, which are very long load times. Staring at the screen while loading will be your biggest enemy and you better get used to by keeping your temper in control. However, once in the game, you will forget about the load time due to the action packed game environment.
The game and its dynamics is very often based on sound and musical silences, which are signs of enemies about to attack you. Thus, play close attention to the audio while playing so you don’t get caught off guard.
The choice of the sounds increases the intensity of each scenario, which you will feel while trying to battle the enemy.
Final Thoughts
Bloodborne is not Dark Souls III , nor does it need to be. The game is much more direct with some major changes that simplified it to turn it into a more logical game. Although it still offers the same exquisite difficulty level, but by customizing and strategizing, you will have a better chance to change the dynamics of the game. Each scenario will be easier if you tactically prepare using accuracy and speed to benefit you. This will make a difference between death and success.
The new online mode is fantastic and you have got to try it. The negatives are the loading times which can be frustrating. Also some secrets are quite easy to discover, which doesn’t make it a secret anymore. We believe that it could be a bit more difficult given the enormous maps. Overall we would recommend this game since the difference game modes bring a different feel to the end user. Give the multiplayer mode a try and you will most likely fall in love with it.
