Brace yourself, you have dissed GAFs darling be prepared to take one on the chin for 3 pages
Haha this was my immediate thought when I saw the thread title. Can't you just run past everything to the Cleric Beast though?

You're going the wrong way, if you kill those guys and the dogs, you will just get fucked up more by the two dog things on the bridge. Break the boxes near the door with the chatting woman.

Yep, that's the one. Look to the left of her house.Huh... You mean the woman that laughs like the crazy person she probably is? On the place with the well with the 3 crows on it, right before that mob with all the dogs?

The start of Bloodborne and how I'm freaking awful at it
I hate the pebbles in this game. It's simpler in most situations to pull enemies by hitting them and backstepping. Trying to wrangle enemies one by one always struck me as a bad move. It's also better to try to attack as many enemies as you can with every swing. Most of the trick weapons are optimized for crowd control with varying arcs.
Bottom line is that you have to be offensive. The rally system is there for that reason. You'll die continuously if you try to play this game like Dark Souls.
Honestly just sounds like you're bad at the game and maybe it isn't for you.
While the game is unforgiving, nothing about those mobs you are fighting in that area is tough.
Yeah, to the left of that door with the woman in break those boxes and jump down. There's some dogs, but you can ignore them.
Head straight from dropping down, turn left and enter the house, exit other door in the house, head up the stairs and unlock the shortcut.
I feel bad for TC lol. there are two games in neogaf you can't criticize even though it's your opinion. Too many GAF users will get butthurt. Bloodborne and Zelda. Both I think is overrated on neogaf.
That said windwaker>botw and Nioh>bloodborne Imo of course.
I guess I'm one of the few that never used any pebbles? I collected so much of them my stock was always full.

I don't know what a Point of Insight or a Cleric beast is. I know that I'd like to level up after fighting 40 enemies.

Bloodborne was my first Souls game and I thought the beginning was amazing my first time through.

But in this case there is no criticism. OP is literally "I keep dying so this game is bad."
Maybe I'm too passive, yeah. The thing is whenever I'm at the same spot the enemies sometimes don't notice me and sometimes just run to me guns blazing, all of them. Sometimes even when I try to lure someone with a pebble to single them out. It's just really inconsistent in my experience.
I don't have a problem dying a lot. What i do have a problem with is dying a lot with the huge ass corridor with 15 or so enemies in it between me and my next objective. DS 2 got rightfully critizised for that stuff and just because the corridor is wider and there are more enemies in it doesn't mean it's better all of a sudden.
I use them and still always have far more than I need.I guess I'm one of the few that never used any pebbles? I collected so much of them my stock was always full.
If you played through DS on NG++ and can't get past the first area in Bloodborne, then this really just confirms that you're playing the game in a way that is too similar to Souls. Don't forget Bloodborne is a lot more footsies-based and aggressive. The moment you get corned in this game you'll die. Don't allow it, and try to make use of the Rally mechanic.Yeah i get a feeling the bolded is the case.
Souls fans are so quick to blame everything on the player is hilarious. Yeah I played through DS in NG++ but I guess i just suck at souls games.
You can't really avoid that path to the cleric beast unless you go to the sewers and if he goes there he will get a madman item or encounter the second boss. I was just trying to tell him how to unlocking leveling quickly.
A point of insight is something you get for seeing bosses or certain events for the first time and for defeating them. Basically like humanity in DS1. You need to gain a single point of that and the easiest way is to get to the Cleric Beast, an optional boss easily reached from the first lantern.
The bolded part sounds irrational, though. As if you want to level up for the sake of it happening and also expect it to happen as a natural consequence of beating 40 enemies.
Actual advice: the mob is absolutely optional, you can run past everything. Stick to the right edge of the square, killing the few guys camping up there with guns (might take a bit of practice). When you reach the right-hand tunnel (it's closed), jump down to the big gate. You should be just outside the field of vision of the big mob next to the big fire. Quickly ran across the square and through the tunnel — some of them will give chase, but most will almost always give up once you get out the tunnel. You'll be at a big square with the giant barging at the door. Somewhere around there is a shorcut to your lantern that allows you to never do the whole thing again. I don't really remember how to unlock it, just look it up in a guide.
And the mob is not THAT tough to beat once you figure out the combat. I think it took me a couple hours of trying to be able to reliably do that, but I did that just for fun — it was a completely optional self-imposed challenge.
OP, BB is far less invested in build variety than DS. As such, the first area is designed to force you to slam your head against the wall until you grasp the necessary mechanics. Frankly, I recommend you don't even try to coddle your way through the intro by tricking enemies. Either bolt your way through the opening straight to the boss (which is very doable) or fight your way straight through so as to help yourself understand the mechanics. The latter is the best approach, but if you can't get past this whole thing, BB might not be the game for you.
That's another problem I have with the game. The armor status are terrible. The only moment i changed was fighting that eletric beast by the end of the game.
Bloodborne was my first Souls game and I didn't die until Gascoigne. I don't know man...wasnt too hard for me.
Try and go up the right side maybe?
Don't ever play Demons Souls, Bloodborne is a breeze in comparison. Fuck that game.
The story is shit too. Forget about it. It wasn't made to make sense and the way it's presented is terrible. I needed a guide to comprehend what I was supposed to understand.
I had a similar problem to be honest, coming off of beating DS1, DS2, Demon's Souls, DS3 in that order (over a year+). But I stuck with it and began to understand the game. Now I would say it is piss easy compared to the others, except Demon's Souls.
Bloodborne has the most interesting lore to me as well...
In truth the first slice of Bloodborne is pretty punishing for what it is, you can't level up until you beat the first boss (and you can easily end up taking a turn to the second boss instead before even meeting this guy) and it throws a lot more enemies at you than any Dark Souls intro complete with mobs'n'dogs and sniper joe over there taking rather potent potshots.
Add in the "I keep dying" frustration mistakes and you've got yourself the recipe for getting killed a fair amount, especially if you're coming from a Dark Souls title where the idea of being more passive in the early goings is probably ingrained into some players.
