You sure you aren't thinking of DS2? There's no rat boss in BB.

The rat is in Dark Souls 2.
Maybe it was a different beast? He had a stupid name and he made something come from the sky. He looked like a big mouse thing. Absolutely Bloodborne. Fought him on some wierd water plain or something.

Should I pick up SF Alpha 2, 3, and Xenogears?
Thanks for the heads up! I have Bloodborne, but haven't opened it yet. Decided to go ahead and pick up the DLC anyways. Hope I can start the game soon.

That sounds like Rom the Vacuous Spider. Mouse is definitely a stretch, but the rest of your description matches.
The only boss that you fight on a water plane is Rom and he's a big ass spider thing. It's generally regarded as the most frustrating boss in the game though they nerfed him a bit in a patch.

Bought Last Blade 2 as the sale is ending. Been on the fence about it for almost a week and finally caved.

It's great. They pretty quickly patched out the bugs and patched in the fire effects in the burning house stage, which I think makes it the only non-Neo Geo home version to have it. Gives me a lot of hope for their Garou port.
Week 2 items should trickle throughout the day until the drop, right? Hoping a few of the other PS2 on PS4 titles go up.
I picked up Final Fantasy Origins. I loaded it it up to take a quick look, and ended up playing Final Fantasy 1 all night. There's something about it's down-to-basics RPG mechanics that is so refreshing. A great remake as well... amazing music.
My only complaint is that the random encounters are getting a bit overwhelming. Is there eventually an item to reduce them?

Fuck Rom! I'm stuck trying to beat him again in the chalice dungeon. So fucking frustrating. Had trouble with others bosses but I was always improving in each try. With Rom I really felt that beating him was just dumb luck.
Still thinking if I should pick up The Old Hunters DLC.

I'm a sucker and grabbed Wild Arms 3. I probably won't play it until next summer at this point, but at least it's in my library, lol.
Hopefully, we get some good stuff for week 2 tonight.

It could end in the next 5 minutes or in 5 hours. There's no set time. I suggest buying what you want right now.

Yeah, you gotta move quick brotha, they could pull it at any time..

Do you guys think I should start the game over again or just pick back up at rom?
Haven't played since launch
Fuck rom
I'm still waiting on my $15 credit from October. Come on Sony!

What? He's completely easy if you do the opposite of what you normally do with bosses in Souls series.
Don't lock onto him at all. He literally will sit there. What's frustrating is his AOE attack and having to deal with the spiders.

Why do I wish I had him as a pet...

Hoping more Spyro and even Crash games go on sale. Grabbed Spyro YotD and love it so far! Crash Warped would be perfect.
Should be today or tomorrow. Waiting on mine too.

Fine fine fine I bought The Old Hunters DLC! I haven't even opened my copy of Bloodborne yet but 8 dollars is so much better than 20.
Now I don't know if I regret this...

It's tough because Rom isn't exactly at the beginning of the game, but there's also some significant things that happen right after beating Rom that might be lost on you of you haven't played in quite some time. I'd say, if you have the time, start over, but if you don't, just keep moving forward with the understanding that you might feel like you're stumbling around for a bit until you find your feet again.
On another note, I really wish the base game was on sale. I already purchased the old hunters and beat it quite a while ago, but I'd love to have a digital copy of the base game instead of needing the disc. Don't want to buy the bundle though given that I'd just have two copies of the old hunters. (And it wouldn't be any different in cost from just buying the base game at $20.)
Pick up from ROM. You will get the hang of it by the time you get to the end you can take a break from the main story and go through Old Hunters before returning and gloriously finishing the game and conquering the chalice dungeons.
I see no reason to start from scratch unless you want to play with a different build. All I can say is to not be ashamed of co-op but don't summon the NPC hunters as they're useless. Also, be conservative and kill the little mooks first.

I got stuck at rom. Stopped playing for 3 months. Picked the game back up. Still stuck at rom. Put the game down for another 3 months. Picked the game back up. Beat rom. Promptly finished the game.

I was waiting for BF, but I'd buy it if it's the same price during this sale.

I really want it for $10 from Walmart, but actually going to a Walmart on BF makes me consider just paying the $20 instead.
