I want to play Bloodborne because quite frankly it looks really cool. I'm told the game is going to be way too difficult for me. I usually play games on standard or easy difficulty. Should I even bother? Is this game even going to be playable to a noob like me?

That's what soloing dungeons in Destiny is like. They're 3-man activities but can all be done solo if you've got the balls. The real trick is a Flawless run, zero deaths. I spent months working on my first Solo Flawless, and once I nailed it, it was as if everything else had gotten easier. Now I can run that dungeon with my eyes closed.

I can respect that, even if I'm not a big Souls player. Set a goal, commit to it, and see it through. It's good practice for life.

Oh man. There's only one of those dungeons that I actually like, and I got almost 2/3 through it solo, and decided that I just didn't care enough. I'm sure I could have done it with enough tries... But ugh. So time consuming.

I totally respect people that do it even once, and people that do it for every dungeon are basically gods.

I did Pit of Heresy. Which is debatably the easiest dungeon (Shattered Throne came out earlier, but Pit has Rally flags), but still. I wear the emblem proudly (and have even taught the dungeon to a few newbies). I've nearly completed Grasp, and I've gotten well into the second boss of Warlord's solo, but... then I take a long break and play other stuff.

With Prismatic it's actually much easier to run a good mix of sustain, CC, and DPS in one loadout.
