The River of Blood, the Beast Cutter, the Surgery Altar, the Astral Clocktower, the Blood of Adeline, the Nightmare Church, the Underground Corpse Pile, the Holy Moonlight Sword, the Beasthunter Saif: the settings and armaments that furnish The Old Hunters will certainly sound familiar to veterans of Bloodborne. So too will its macabre menagerie: the Bloodlickers and the Parasites, the Winter Lanterns and the Nightmare Executioners. One can well imagine a brainstorming session at From Software, the developers trying to think gloomily as they thumb a dog-eared thesaurus. The Despairing Cutlass? The Infirmary of Sorrow? You half-expect to wander into the A Bit Crestfallen Caverns or pick up a rapier called Glum. They’d better leave Bloodborne alone after this expansion. They’re running out of synonyms for bad.
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.
Or maybe you're just horrible at it
Lol! Too late, no one's gonna click your link anyways..
Hmph! >:(
Brilliant game. Well done FS.
OH THE GAME IS TOO HARD! I DON'T LIKE IT!
That pretty much sums up the review.
'It’s safe to say that I’ve had enough of Bloodborne—enough of Yharnam and the Hunter’s Nightmare, enough of blood echoes and quicksilver bullets, enough of grinding and more than enough of dying. Indeed I think I’d had enough before The Old Hunters started.'
The key part of that quote is this -
'Indeed I think I’d had enough before The Old Hunters started.'
He clearly didn't even want to play it, if you don't want to play something you're not going to enjoy it.
Maybe he shouldn't have reviewed the game and let someone who did want to play it do it instead.
