Gaming Age: It’s time to grab the WD-40 because you know what they say. If you rest, you rust. My mind is still on Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, so you know I need to get refreshed to prepare myself for the gateway drug known as Bloodborne again. It’s been a few months since I’ve actively played Bloodborne. When I first went back, I was getting my ass handed to me as expected. What didn’t help my cause was the fact that my current character was level 110 playing in New Game Plus. In NGP, your level carries over as well as your equipment for an even more challenging play through of the game. See our review of the full game here.
Gaming has given birth to some of the best DLCs ever made that enhance the base game significantly. Here are a few top recommendations.
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'd also add in Horizon The Frozen Wilds. As I started it, I wasn't sure I had the energy, but my God that was awesome. Some of the best weapons, enemies and missions in Horizon for sure.
Blood and Wine is always the reason these "best DLC of all time" list gets made in the first place nowadays.
Don't think CDPR can come any where near with any upcoming CP2077 DLC.
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.
Reviews are irrelevant when it comes to From Software, I think.
If you are into their games, go for it and ignore these score-keepers that can totally misguide you and probably even spoil most surprises for you.
You see, when it comes to Miyazaki, there is little need for pre-mission briefings such as reviews, previews and all that crap.
Just go, man. Get wrecked, get stomped, and come out tasting the sweetest victory this side of digital entertainment.
