But you’ll still need to be aggressive
There are shields inBloodborneafter all, SCE Japan Studio has confirmed toIGN. Well I’ll be.
Shields will seem like a comfort toSoulsplayers who haven’t yet experienced the faster, in-your-face action ofBloodborne, but know that you won’t want to get too comfortable: “if you’re always standing back and guarding, you’ll die very quickly,” said producer Masaaki Yamagiwa.
“We wanted these encounters and battles to be so intense that if you just stand and wait, you’ll get overwhelmed and killed right away,” he explained. “We wanted to encourage players to not hide and wait, but instead be more aggressive and pro-active in battle.”
It’s true. I heavily relied on shields inDemon’s SoulsandDark Soulsand tended to play conservatively, but mere minutes into tryingBloodbornefor the first time I was all about rushing in for the kill. There’s this newfound pressure to be unrelenting, and I really dig it.
