unclepain Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 New Bloodborne Patch "1.07" really added some cool shit. You can summon NPC hunters for pretty much any area. New covenant as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Gogh Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Ok, so right now I'm able to get either Dark Souls 2 with all the DLC on PS4 (digitally) for around £12 (about $18) which is a ridiculous bargain. Or I can just buy the Bloodborne DLC for like £16 ($24). What would people recommend? Is the DS2 DLC worth it? I should point out that I've played every Souls game, and platinumed Bloodborne, but I never got around to getting the DLC for DS2. Also, I'm working through Fallout 4 right now!

batman Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 the DS2 DLC is TOUGH. i played it as part of the SOTFS release so i don't know if it's any different--i know the main game had been changed up significantly. there's probably more content in DS2--there are 9 new bosses in DS2 DLC and 5 in Bloodborne.

dapeebs Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The Old Hunters is out today, isn't it? Anybody playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks for the info Batman. I went for DS2 in the end! Will start working through it and pick up The Old Hunters when I've finished it. More bosses is always amazing, I don't know what it is but there's nothing better than a Dark Souls/Bloodborne boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapeebs Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 finished the DLC in one sitting. so fucking cool... i wish it was longer though Damn that's disappointing. Still hyped to play it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Oh man, one sitting!? What play through are you on though? I'm assuming that if you're on say NG++ it's easier? I found each of the NG+'s far easier than the first play through.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesi Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 So one sitting is approximately how many hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 don't get me wrong, IT WAS AMAZING. I started playing at about 4:30 and was done at about 11:30. I took a few breaks for a phone call, dinner, and spent a little time with my wife. So altogether about 5.5-6 hours or so? I played on NG+2, level 170, Ludwig Holy Sword +10. I was still getting WRECKED by everything. the weapons were all really easy to find with the exception of 1 or 2. I haven't messed with any of them, but from the hunter enemies a lot of them seemed really cool. level design was superb, some of the best areas in the game. there's some really unsettling stuff going on haha. I probably missed some stuff so I'm going to go exploring over the weekend. boss fights are a mixed bag. 2 of them are up there with the best of the best of the Souls games.

dapeebs Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Never thought about this. I don't mind going through the game again, but I sort of agree with this guy: http://www.polygon.com/2015/11/30/9819308/bloodborne-the-old-hunters-dlc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 idk, that's the way that DLC is integrated in every other Souls game... you don't get to access the DS1 DLC until after anor londo. bloodborne's a lot more forgiving--you only have to technically beat 2 bosses. I picked it back up a week or two before the DLC hit so that I could get re-git gud, and get my timing down again. I was right after papa guac on NG+2 and was just going to play up through vicar amelia, but I just kept playing and finished everything including all of the optional bosses up until the end game (it's a damn fun game!!). the warm-up is probably pretty nice since the DLC is pretty unforgiving. I doubt that after not touching the game for several months, anyone would be able to breeze through the DLC right off the bat. meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 I think the movement looks too Bloodborne-y but, I'll reserve judgment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Gogh Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 It definitely looks a lot quicker, which I personally prefer. Having played Bloodborne and gone back to DS2 again, you can definitely feel a big difference in the movement. My character is currently handling like a shopping trolley, he feels so slow and clunky in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesi Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Quick question for the Souls experts: I have played and enjoyed both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, and last weekend I picked up both Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne for PS4. Now I don't know which one I should start with, any thoughts on this? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
