Just started back up with Bloodborne a couple of days ago even though I bought it at the time of this games release and
Wow! I've learned more today than I ever had with having this game this entire time.

With the lack of hand holding. This being my first Souls game. I've been playing this all wrong. It's not a bad User Interface, because it works really well for navigating it fast. Just I finally figured out how to properly exit the game while playing. Otherwise I was exiting by using consoles home screen and quitting the App. from there.

Turns out I was supposed to
-press "options"
-click right on D-pad twice
-press "x" to enter the menu
-go to Title Screen, which will also automatically save the game

I also just found out how to run. It is all about holding the "circle" button down. Crazy I've been tanking this whole time casually walking up to enemies.

I also just learned that pressing the L1 shoulder button extends the weapon (as well as shortens it).

So with all that I learned today. The game got a whole lot more bearable! Finally was able to run past a bunch of enemies to unlock the shortcut to the Cleric Beast. Been able to knock 1/10 of his health bar down a couple times but I'll have to farm a few more times before trying again.

I've got a lot respect for anyone that beats these kinds of games. Such aggravation!

You can level up now invest some points in stamina it really pays off. Also read the item descriptions and use items it makes the game a lot more managable. Fire is really useful against beast and electricity /arcane against everything else. I would advise skill as your main weapon stat because skill based weapons are just way more fun, although strength has some badass weapons too. Leave bloodtinge for what it is or a second playtrough and beating those beast will become managable even if you don't have cat like reflexes or superior timing.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
