The game is out, and the madness has already begun

Bloodborne is out for some, and players are already dying, complaining about it, manning up and overcoming the challenges that developer From Software has prepared for them.

The title follows the tradition established with Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 and 2, blending a mysterious setting that players have to explore with an unforgiving melee combat system and more infernal beasts than the guys in Supernatural have taken out so far.

One of the very first deadly encounters in Bloodborne is a confrontation with a big, bad werewolf that you have to take out with your bare hands.

The introduction serves as a brutal lesson about the game's ways, but it appears that some players have risen to the challenge and managed to defeat the beast, instead of visiting an early grave, as intended.

The guys at DualShockers have a few helpful pointers for those who want to start their adventure in Yharnam with a bang.

There's also a helpful video, available below, showing how to use some wonky karate chops against the lumbering beast, a lesson that you can take to heart and also employ in real-life situations. It actually sounds like a pretty good addition to rock, papers, scissors, lizard, Spock.
