Nerdist: Earlier this year, I raved about how great FromSoftware’s PS4-exclusive Bloodborne was. While not perfect, I gave it 5 out of 5 delectable burritos. With the title, the developer not only took some of the best elements from both Demon and Dark Souls, but it added several interesting features, including the new weapon transformation mechanic that made the gameplay more offensive, fast, and dynamic. On top of that, the Gothic (and disturbing) setting was intriguing, and worked as more than just a skin for the formula Souls fans have become accustomed to.
NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - It is now a mainstay of gaming that post a title's release, and DLC will accompany the game. Some of the most popular games of the last fifteen years have followed this practice. But there are some DLCs that are better than others. That stands on the shoulders of their base game, and in some cases… Surpass it. These are the 10 expansions that were better than the main game.
Damn, I feel stupid when years ago I played all the dlc for fallout 3 except the pitt. My younger ass looked at it and thought it was boring without trying I believe... Well good reason to fire up the old dusty ps3!
Solid list, I'd add inFamous: Festival of Blood, although it was a standalone download, it still felt like an inFamous 2 expansion.
Blood and Wine might be the best ever though.
I have beaten Bloodborne but though i have the DLC I never played through it. For now I want to wait and see if it gets a Bluepoint remake.
DBC: “As soon as I had tasted FromSoftware’s new risk-and-reward formula, there was no going back. Its bleak beauty, its goading challenge, and its eerie otherworldliness coursed through my veins like a brand-new, intoxicating Estus-like tincture. From that point on, I was hooked on its electrifyingly addictive gameplay loop and back-to-basics game design. For me, and for many other folks out there, the Souls franchise was nothing short of a revolution.”
Really great write up! Dark Souls is absolutely one of the most influential games ever made.
"FromSoftware started the Souls-like genre over a decade ago so let's revisit a couple of their masterpieces and see which one wins." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Lmao Bandai Namco made FromSoft rush DS3 hence all the cut content such as day and night cycle. But now FromSoftware are calling the shots, and with Miyazaki being fully in charge now, they are never going to release garbage like DS2/3 ever again.
Like most Bloodborne over DS 1, "2", and 3. Great games over all. Perhaps one of the best group of games all time.
