Ich like.

'Surest' in this context also means 'dullest', though. Can we think of a more badass way?

Because quoting obscure bible verses is inherently badass.

Edit: If we're going all out on the Boondock Saints quotes, Deuteronomy 32:41 seems to fit.

We're not going by game logic here. The Cleric Beast is massive, durable, and a physical powerhouse. Plus, you're fighting it in a narrow arena without the luxury of reacting to every hit by falling on your back and being invincible for a few seconds.

Anderson absolutely excels at taking out human-sized enemies who also don't have the game logic luxury of "knife embedded in face, lose 1/3rd of health bar and keep attacking." He could turn the Pthumerian Descendant inside-out with little difficulty even though it's "stronger" in-game.

Against bigger bastards, things get complicated.
 
Also at some point we must recite The Lord's Prayer in Swedish. It's literally the most badass thing religion has ever produced.
 
... Really?, Fader Vår sounds kinda lame to us Swedish.
The English version sounds much better to me.
 
I think we should learn from it and find a weapon for big animals.

There was a period of Swedish Catholicism, but it was sandwiched between two pretty thick slices of paganism and heresy, so it's understandable that it would be glossed over by history.

That makes fuck all sense.

Outside of ebrietas rom and Paarl the human scale enemies are way more dangerous.

Gerhrman would tear Anderson a new asshole, for instance.

Well.. The reason why we are Protestant (Not that we really care anymore) is that the Catholic Church had ridiculous amounts of Moolah, land, treasures and art that they kept stealing or buying as as "Charity" or messing with the laws about who inherited what.

Gustav Vasa had some debts and this Luther guy said the Church shouldnt put their nose in Earthly matters, and steal so much money.
We "converted" because we wanted to rob the Church blind legally and fucking put them in their place, and the Germans were in between us and Rome so...

*Shrug*
Swedish. We are kinda like that.

Don't think of it from the perspective of a gamer.

The example I like is one thagguy uses in Red Soul: Ceaseless Discharge. In-game, he's pathetic. When you apply logic to it and realize that just whapping it over and over on the arm until he dies wouldn't work, you realize that you've got a walking goddamn volcano whose vitals are all surrounded by shit that will literally melt your face off.

With the big guys, you can hit their feet over and over again and eventually they'll keel over in the games. In here, where they're not functioning on a script designed to leave openings for the player, your options are a lot more limited. Imagine if Amygdala actually used all of its arms consistently and didn't use the same motion for its laser every time.

The other key difference is this: on the human-sized enemies, it's easy to land hits to the chest and head in the game, but they treat them like any other blow. Here, a bayonet through the brain will end the fight immediately. On the big ones, you can stab them in the bum over and over in the game and it'll treat them like lethal injuries, but not here.

Gehrman is blisteringly fast and experienced, but at the end of the day, he's just a man.

I dunno. Getting stab in the ass so many times would kill a person.

There a limit on how much butthurt a person can take.
 
Well, you gotta admit that Gehrman has some pretty sweet moves for a crotchety old dude aged of a few centuries (Subjectivity applies.)

you call all the blatantly magic teleporting and wind blades something within the capabilities of "Just a man"

i don't have anything to say to that.

every one in bloodborne is more than human... and arguably human no more.

At the same time by animu logic, the more human looking enemies are usually the most powerful. Plus technically almost everyone you fight in bloodborne are genetically enhanced supermen who can heal wounds by getting blood on themselves and have the potential to grow into huge monsters, generating extra mass out of thin air.

To be fair, the same could be said about Gerhman and Gascoigne. Well, not to the same degree Anderson was made to fight them, but most of the beasts you have to kill in Yarhnam and Old Yarnham are humanoid sized. It would not surprise me if 90% of the foes other hunters fight are just super humanoids with beast like strength, regeneration, and other stuff. It would not surprise me if standard hunter training was focused on killing human sized or Anderson sized beasts.

Those giant beast monsters are actually kind of rare. Although Gascoigne probably has forgotten most of his strategy and tricks, he pretty much is two steps from devolving into a full beasts, so Anderson will probably have an easier time with him.

no he was built to kill vampires.

which when it came down to it, he failed at killing the most important target, even with his so called "God's" help.

The greats one wouldn't have put up with that sort of bullshit, they would have made him straight up unkillable until he won.

Gehrman and Gascoigne on the other hand, their whole life is killing things beyond human capability and in fact considerably more like anderson than alucard.

the enhanced strength, the greater speed, the improved durability and healing, these are all traits that the beasts and Anderson have in common.

although anderson's healing is much better.

and both of them aren't some idiot towns men who's gonna let a bunch of thrown bayonets hit them.
