So now that Blood & Wine, Far Harbour and Hearts of Stone released, can we all agree that The Old Hunter is still the best modern day Expansion Pack?
>>
Yes, because it's only on PlayStation 4. We did it bros. For the players
>>
>>339589494

The Old Hunter:
>fixes Bloodbornes BIGGEST issues by not only improving the weapon/clothing count but by adding the best bosses in Soulsborne history (possibly gaming in general)
>Great price
>15~ hours of content with brand new maps etc
>Fantastic additions to the lore and backstories as well as characters
>Better than the base game

Far Harbour:
>It's Fallout 4 so it's basically shit

Hearts of Stone:
>Fantastic narrative that is hampered by the mediocre gameplay and formulaic quests (Witcher senses)
>Fixes Witcher 3s shit bosses by adding some above average ones
>not enough new content (same map is used etc)
>better than the base game

Blood & Wine
>Starts off great only to take a huge dip in quality and somehow fuck up the vampire plotline by focusing on black mailers and other boring shit instead
>Side quests are for the most part, meh
>New map looks gorgeous and a lot of new content was added
>fantastic price
>worse than the base game

Yes and it's not even close. The Old Hunter was how you make expansions, improve on all issues found in the base game while adding substantial content for a good price.

You know, I'd buy this accept literally almost every PS4 game that has come out has gotten to PC at some point.

Nintendo can't do that because their consoles are selling for shit, and that's where they are making their money.

Sony already sold their consoles to the majority of the people that would buy it, so now they are in the position of collecting even more money from the PC market, and jewing it up and re sale a game they already released to the market a year ago.

This.
At the end of the day Souls combat is the most mediocre thing in the universe (raise shield->block->attack->repeat).
Meanwhile The Witcher games have actual strategic combat. Hell, even in Ocarina of Time you can attack with the sword in eight positions.

I was so meh'ed out by Bloodborne at release. I bought it on a whim and though It was just more Souls, and it kinda was. Then I played some more, beat Cleric Beast, and dropped it. Months later I played it more then got more into it, still not totally sold on the setting or characters and stuff. Then the Old Hunters got announced and was near releasing, so I booted up my old character I had been playing PvE with since launch, then I put in 150 hours with that character binge playing uncontrollably, then when Old Hunters came out I got another 100 hours and am still rising steadily. Everything clicked and Bloodborne is easily one of my favorite games of all time now.

I don't care about Witcher, I played the first 2 hours of both 1 and 2 and didn't like them. No bully.
>>
>>339589494
The Old Hunters is great, but it's really short and light on content. Hearts of Stone/Blood & Wine are better.
>>
>>339591540
Nah eat shit m8. I have both, love both, but BB is superior in every way aside from the optimization.
>>
>>339591559

>The Witcher games have actual strategic combat

Witcher 3:

-Fast attack (3 hit combo max)
-Heavy attack (2 hit combo max)
-Can't even mix fast with heavy combos dynamically
-Can't even consistently control whether Geralt starts spinning like an autist or if he does a simple slash

Bloodborne:
-Ludwigs holyblade (25-30 movesets/combos alone, never mind the other 24 weapon types)
>>
>>339591817
Maybe I just didn't get BB. It's confusing to me, and it just doesn't appeal to me as much. I also much prefer the fantasy setting over the victorian lovecraftian thing.
>>
>>339591690


>Hearts of Stone/Blood & Wine are bette

It has significantly more content to Hearts of Stone (which is essentially a quest pack lasting 8~ hours). Blood & Wine has more content but even witchershills over on /wtc/ are disappointed with how mediocre it is.

Quality > Quantity faggot
>>
>>339591881

Let's talk about how there are
-no character creation
- no character stats that can bin min/max'd
- no weapon variety
- no boss fights that bring the best out of you and demand you to get really good

I hope this witcher cancer fags leave /v/

>>339591881
The Witcher has no excuse to not have any sort of combo system. You use the same weapon the whole game, it just looks different.

>CDPR marketing firm will claim otherwise

Are the ones saying The Witcher 3 combat is better than BB baiting?
I refuse to believe anyone thinks that
>>
>>339593081
When you're on a CDPR payroll, then it's easier to think that.
>>
>>339593081
I've played DeS, Das, DaS 2, BB, TW1, TW2 and TW3 + expansions through and I have to say. Neither is clearly better, both are very similar. And the combat doesn't really ever change in Souls games. The same tactics I used in DeS still work in BB. The only thing that changes are weapon animations and attack speed. But combat in Witcher 3 can be very fun and satisfying too.

The combat in Souls game is so fucking overrated it's not even funny. It's nothing special.

15 is generous, but 5 is way too low. On a first play through it's about 10, but obviously the value comes from increasing replay value by adding weapon variety.

I liked Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone, but I do agree that The Old Hunters is better.

The Witcher expansions are a great value though given the amount of content added. It's just unfortunate the combat is not very much fun. The final fight with Dettlaff could be awesome but it's The Witcher 3, so it's not.
