Hmm, what have we here?

Is it worth getting the DLC for Bloodborne? I’ve never played a souls game but it’s 8 for the base game and 14 for the base plus DLC right now.

Any other good sales start this week?

There are 2 bosses in that DLC that are absolutely amazing, like top 5 BB/DS bosses. It was my favorite part of the game, easily, and possibly my favorite SoulsBorne segment.

I made it to Chapter 3 in RDR2 and it’s just not clicking for me. I’m glad I got the physical copy so I can trade it in. Also sitting on $55 in PSN credit and thinking about biting on Spider-Man for $40 during the sale. I was saving the cash to get a reduced Plus sub but it doesn’t look like they’re gonna drop the price again like on Black Friday.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
The sheer amount of new weapons in the DLC just completely changes the game, buy that poo poo

Old Hunters is better than The Witcher 3 DLC because it's fully integrated into the base experience and enhances the experience holistically, rather than just being new story (which it absolutely excels at anyway). I'm saying this as someone that will punch you for not liking Hearts of Stone as well.

I'm gonna wait until at least after Christmas on this one but any Spider-fan thoughts on the DLC being worth an extra few bucks? It seems like a good deal for regular and deluxe versions but the DLC seems to be getting mixed reviews.

I did Artorias on like... NG+++++ the first time and I thought he was a fakeout because he didn't give me much trouble. :negative:

Then again I also thought Fume Knight was more boring than fun.

It's more poo poo to do, but it's a bit lightweight in my experience. It ramps up the difficulty, gives some new suits and continues some stories. If the price is right I'd say get it but you aren't missing out on anything that will define the game for you.

This is like me in Bloodborne dying a hundred times to the witch boss but beating the one reborn, shadows of yharnam, amelia, maybe another in one go while always being poo poo at Souls games.

From software dlc
Bb>ds2>ds1>ds3

Ds2 dlc is insanely good and tried some weird things. I think fume, alonne and ivory king are all top 10 bosses
Ds1 had one great fight and one solid one but I didn't like either zones. Ds3 dlc was a mess

My only problem with bb dlc is Ludwig gates so much of it and he's the only boss in BB that seems random in his difficulty and it's not a good experience

I still haven't finished BB or touched the DLC in it because something distracted me during my last playthrough and my skills atrophied, and going back to it probably means starting over.

Of all the From games though I like the DLC of 3 the best aesthetically, but the gameplay was poop from a butt. DS2 was probably my second favorite but still insanely difficult for what it was, especially the first DLC area.

DS1 is probably my least essential of all of them. I like the mushroom lady but I really don't like Artorias and don't see the appeal. If you could parry him I still wouldn't like him but at least it would make much more sense to me why others did.

This will probably be the thing that gets me back into it, because last time I had to adjust to the input lag from my tv/receiver and it worked well enough for me to get like 70% through the game but it seemed like a significant handicap, especially after playing DS1-3 on PC. Or I guess I could just move the ps4 upstairs and connect it to a monitor for a bit assuming I don't upgrade any time soon. But I really want a 4k tv...

yea I know, we've argued about ds3 before

the bosses of the dlc take a bunch of stuff I don't like in the base game of ds3 and cranking them up to 11. the areas in the first dlc are boring and in the second they're beyond annoying. I was really hopeful for the dlc since they'd always been better than the base games before, but I couldn't have been more disappointed

It's like if until dawn was way dumber but took itself really seriously. it's fun though.

Yeah Midir is a loving joke. I quit after like 10 tries and never looked back.

it's a murder mystery that deliberately lies to the audience and contradicts its own plot to preserve the "twist"

and also it is fascinated with piss?

I legit forgot about midir , he freaking sucked. So did the other optional dragon in ds1. Dragons suck to fight

Freide is awesome if you haven't fought Maria, which I hadn't, but the three phase thing was way too drawn out. Gael was good but not as good as alonne
