>>
>>317588013
DaS2 DLCs are really good, they're the only redeeming factor of the game IMO
>>
>>317587675

These days most expansions are also DLC, because oh fucking hey, you download them, and they're content. They are not mutually exclusive terms, and DLC is not inherently a bad deal.

Micro transaction DLC bullshit is detestable, Free DLC is just more stuff, Reasonably priced DLC is a somewhat easier way for people who liked a game to get more content legitly that was worked on after it came out, rather than waiting to maybe get an expansion when they have enough stuff to warrant one.

Stop being a meme focused shitlord please, you are perpetuating the worst aspects of this site.

>>317588640
>It's ok when a ps4 exclusive does it
fixed it for you
bloodborne is also the shortest game in the franchise with the least build variety and reskinned enemies all through the game, but miyazaki only makes 10/10 games like armored core 4 which killed the series, oh wait
I actually enjoyed bloodborne for what it was, I just happen not to be a fagboy

And that somehow makes them better than an actual good game with amazing DLC?
>>
>>317588885
Next they'll be trying to tell us how Living Failures is the best boss of all time.
>>
>>317588695

Well, I doubt there is any hard distinction really. But a certain level of content should be required for it not to just be a marketing term.
With Bloodbourne, wern't they going to make many smaller DLC stuff, but decided to make it just one big 'expansion'? If that's the case, I think it's acceptable this time around.

look up the old command and conquer expansions.

XCOM EW is a great example


/v/ is just largely a younger userbase now to recognise what is clearly an expansion.

>>317588969
I haven't played the expansion yet so I wouldn't know how good it is, but it's pretty retarded that people just shit on ds2 and then praise bloodborne for doing some of the same things that game did.
Some of the levels of bloodborne are just as linear as dark souls 2, the areas are barely interconnected (except for that time you open up iosefka's clinic every area just has one entrance and one exit, with cathedral ward being the hub area), you actually fight reskinned enemies when you get to the endgame (warewolves become some rotten corpses shit, pigs get more heads, crows and dogs swap heads, etc.) with no changes to their movesets, there's barely any build variety (with the game only having six stats) and the chalice dungeons are absolute shit.
As I said, I liked the game for what it was just as I liked dark souls 2 for what it was, people calling one of them the best and the other the worst are just retarded 14 years old kids who have been plagiarized into thinking that Miyazaki is based god because that's what marketing told them.

UK physical here, successfully pre-ordered online and it's showing up under 'my-addons' as installed. Still doesn't show up through the store on my console though; bit fucked up

>>317592942
Then only downside IMO is that they has strange lack of furniture. I blame consoles not being able ho handle the newer engine. I just my imagination to think that the people there abandoned the cities and took their furniture with them or burned it for comfort in the Third DLC.

There is a literal reskin of cleric beast and celestial emissary. It's lazy as fuck.

>>317604507
Laurence was the only re-skin, for the first half. The second half different. And no, Living failures isn't a reskin
>>
>>317604762
You're a fucking retard. Living Failures are not a reskin at all, and Laurence looks the same as Cleric Beast because he is a fucking cleric and turned into a beast but they made a whole new second phase.
>>
>>317604194

"Beast mode" is a rune called "Beast" gives you a passive bonus to your Beasthood meter and also gives you a special moveset when you equip the Beast Claws. Also, you grow fur, your ribs are more apparent and it makes you look very sickly and feral. However, you are affected by serrated weapons and beasthunter gems when you have that rune equipped.

"Kin mode" is a rune, too, called "Milkweed". It gives you a special moveset when you equip the Kos Parasite, which is obtained from the final boss in the DLC. You grow a disturbing, blue cauliflower head and grow two tentacle arms if you equip that weapon I mentioned. Your rolls also become awkward flips and you can do a special Wrath of the Gods-like spell with your L2 if I'm not mistaken. Just like the "Beast" rune, you take more damage from Righteous weapons (Threaded Cane, Logarius' Wheel, Church Spike, etc) and kinhunter gems will deal even more bonus damage to you.

Anyway, level 4 ritual blood can be obtained from the kidnappers in the Lower Pthumerian labyrinth. You can also purchase them from the messenger shop, but I think you need the Yharnam Stone for that.

It's still dumb. They could have made the cleric reskin look different but they didn't.

Living failures is a reskin. It's the same model as celestial emissary. They even have similar attacks.

So basically, only 3 good boss fights, the other 2 are shit.

I never said you or anyone else is blinded by fanboyism but thank you for expressing that complaint.

I'm not asking you to prove you played it but you can see how I could form the opinion that you really have no valid criticism on the game. If you can't justify spending the money I understand but don't act like it's the games fault. In reality though your comment is fairly innocuous and if people hadn't gone and shitposted this game to oblivion because of some sort of vain jealousy, nobody would bat an eye at your opinion

The only part of Bloodborne that's like Dark Souls 2 are the half-baked chalice dungeons.

Dark Souls 2 doesnt come close to the intricate shortcut porn of Bloodborne and it has 10x the amount of reskinned crap.

But keep telling yourself whatever you need to miss out on the GOTY.

Chalice Dungeon 101 (For Anon):

>Chalice Dungeons come in two forms: story and root. Story dungeons are fixed and do not change. They require fewer materials in order to make and are pretty much required if you want to progress into the deeper chalice dungeons because you are going to need better/different materials for different chalices.
>Root chalices are not fixed. They are randomized as soon as you make them and are completely different each time. However, they do require more materials (Usually mold.) in order to make.
>They also have five depths-- with each being tougher than the last.
>Chalice dungeons are the best place to acquire the best kinds of gems, but you won't get anything better than the kinds you can get in the main game (Mensis, in particular.) until you reach depth 5 chalices. Depth 5 chalices are tough, but doable and the enemies within them drop the best kinds of gems.
>When creating certain root dungeons, you have the option to make the dungeon "cursed", "rotted", or "fetid". Each rite is detrimental: Cursed will have your maximum HP, rotted will add more traps and the like, and fetid will add more dangerous enemies to the dungeon. The point of activating these rites is to get /even better gems/. Gems dropped in FRC dungeons will be cursed, meaning they will come with a downside at the cost of being exceptionally potent and usually having a bonus along with whatever the gem is boosting.
>Other than gems and even more chalice materials, you can also obtain upgrading materials for weapons and sidearms and uncanny/lost forms of weapons which have different gem slots.

That should be chalice dungeons in a nutshell. if you wanna know how to progress, give /bbg/ a visit and ask them for the chalice dungeon progression chart. That should help you.

By the way, once you enter NG+, you can purchase ritual materials for the rites I mentioned previously in the insight shop. It makes creating FRC dungeons a lot easier.

I already said I am getting a PS4 for another game. I don't have criticism. I have a personal opinion on why I don't like it. Because I just don't and mentioned some of the reasons. I Don't like Victorian setting and the environment/enemy design direction. My opinion is subjective opinion very valid and I don't like how you just can't take the thought that someone can't just NOT like your game. My gripe is that because of Me personally not liking it the PS4 has less games I'm interested in as a result. Do you understand not where I'm coming from and why I'm hating on ti? Because I wish it was something I would like. It just isn't, even though I am a major Souls fan.

Gee, thanks! I appreciate that.

Have fun in those chalice dungeons. They can be a slog at first, but they're pretty fun once you're able to make FRC dungeons.

Oh, and there's one thing I forgot to mention, once you make a single FRC dungeon of your own, you can simply browse the "chalice dungeon search" in order to find FRC dungeons of other types. For example:

>anon gets enough materials for an FRC Ihyll
>anon makes it and completes it
>now anon can use the search function to copy someone else's FRC Isz, Lower Loran or another Ihyll

Keep in mind that you still need to unlock the root versions of those chalices in order to do that.

Are you blind? Yes, I say all encompassing statements like "I just don't" but those are a result of specific reasons I also did mention. Why are you twisting my words? Quoting just one or two out of context. Are you a troll? What part of Don't like the Victorian Setting which implies I prefer knights and fantasy better it's not hard to understand. Then I mentioned art direction and such. Here, have a short semi-full list:
>I don't like the Victorian setting.
>I don't like Trench coats and London feel.
>I don't like Dark Areas. I have a glossy TV and that would reflect in a bright room like absolute SHIT.
>I don't like the horror aspects and the gruesome aesthetics
>Don't like how brutal it can be. Whole arm up pig's ass kind.
>Because of that I hate almost all the enemy design.
>Hate how the bosses look. (not how they play just how they look)

To me not everything is gameplay. It the chassis isn't to my taste I can't begin to care what's under the hood. I don't care if it rides well and it does not. (I mean it has bad framerate but that doesn't bother me that much since it didn't in Demon's Souls)

>what other game did you buy the ps4 for?
I haven't yet. The game isn't released yet just announced and I will get a PS4 for it then. It's weeb stuff you wouldn't care about it. I just hate it that the above personal complaints I find in Bloodborne leave me with one less game to enjoy when I do but I will force myself to try the game either way.

This is stupid.

If anything by your logic it should be something like this.

Microtransaction: a small content, often to expedite game mechanics at a set and questionably nominal fee.

DLC: A group of contact released for sale digitally. Be it a new map, a new event, a new weapon or gear or sets of those.

Expansion: A large scale update to a game, featuring many new items and areas at a set price generally lower than retail game price.

But the truth is, an Expansion is just DLC. Because DLC is an additional content you download of no discerning size. It's a fucking general term.

This is why I can't take you guys seriously. It just sucks, yes. Because I don't like it. Therefore it "just sucks" in my opinion.

I do think Sinh is more challenging though since Kal is only hard when trying to cut the tail, that whole big vertical building towards the end of the sunken temple DLC was a highlight of DS2 though, for me.

I don't owe you anything. How I express my opinion and the words I use the least. It's a terrible game for me.

I liked the ganksquad. Personally, when I walked through the fog and found an actual NPC gank squad waiting for me, I thought that it was funny as fuck. You also need to use radically different tactics during the fight than with other bosses, so I thought that it was a nice change of pace. The other challenge bosses can go to hell, though
