    More awesome weapons, bosses, enemies and difficulty. In short more Bloodborne! If you didn't like Bloodborne to start this isn't going to change your mind. But if you are like me and love Blooborne this expansion lives up to the standards of the main game with some of the most brutally difficult, but thrilling boss fights yet. The weapons they added are all pretty damn great as well! ItMore awesome weapons, bosses, enemies and difficulty. In short more Bloodborne!

    Прекрасное длц. Очень крутые боссы, первый и последний)
    Остальные не очень впечатляют, за это снизил балл.

    El diseño del DLC es una maravilla cómo está cuidado al mínimo detalle, nuevas armas, nuevos enemigos, runas, trajes ... Escenarios enormes con mucha exploración, jefes más difíciles que en la campaña principal y la banda sonora de la mejor del juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Over all I believe that Bloodborne: The Old Hunters is a great DLC. The rehashed areas are a bit lazy but at least there is a little lore as to why and I got a great sense of adventure when i discovered the Lumen-flower Gardens. Some some of the bosses are slightly cheap e.g. Ludwig's jump that has the ability to one-hit K.O you.… Expand

    i guess the only ppl playing this will bloodborne addicts, and will love it. anyone casual that stumbles into it is going to get destroyed. its hardcore gaming at its most hardcore. i dont even know if the reward is worth it, its draining. but i got there in the end and was glad when it was over (but in a good way).    … Expand

    Incredible addition to Bloodborne. It makes this game better than any other Souls game in my opinion, it gives it that edge. Incredible areas, bosses and music. The Old Hunters is where Bloodborne reaches its climax.

    I’ve faced across all four of the Souls games—Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls II and Bloodborne. Even after I shook off my rustiness—I’d grown soft playing games like Witcher 3 and Tomb Raider—the expansion still pummeled me. Between sneaky traps, hyper-aggressive enemies, and nightmarish levels, I often found myself overwhelmed, my unblinking eyes gone dry and my vision fuzzy.

    The Old Hunters es un gran DLC, al igual que el juego base encontraremos un gran reto con los nuevos enemigos y Jefes de nivel. No hay mucho que decir ya que el juego base es perfecto y el DLC es un grandísimo complemento que ayuda a expandir la historia.

    FromSoftware did the impossible by making Bloodborne even better with this DLC. Very unique new places to explore, great new weapons and some of the best boss fights in the entire game. I'm proud to finish the game by myself except the last boss. I had to get some help from a fellow hunter. A classic!

    I almost quit From Software games because of this game due to failure to pass the werewolf at beginning. After several trials and many tutorial videos, Bloodborne took me to an incredible journey. The atmosphere, melee system, music, storyline are just state-of-art and one of a kind. Please issue 2 soon.

    Un DLC que mejora aspectos, pero no corrige problemas.
    Al ser un DLC, Old Hunters no representa un gran cambio respecto a su versión base. No obstante, sí que algunos de esos añadidos merecen ser desglosados.

    Al ser un DLC, Old Hunters no representa un gran cambio respecto a su versión base. No obstante, sí que algunos de esos añadidos merecen ser desglosados.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Old Hunters mantiene el mismo estilo jugable que Bloodborne con sus combates rápidos e intensos, pero con algunos beneficios.

    Hay una gran variedad de armas nuevas (para ambas manos), prácticamente doblamos el número de las originales y es algo de agradecerse. Algunas más útiles que otras (dependiendo de nuestro estilo de juego), pero todas se agradecen.
    Hay nuevos enemigos, tan variados como letales, así como nuevas áreas. Y claro, nuevos Bosses.

    Y tengo que decirlo: Lady Maria es una de las mejores Boss Fights que he experimentado. No solo en Bloodborne, sino en general. Todo en el combate está en su punto y el DLC vale la pena por esa única pelea.

    No todo es bueno, Bloodborne ya tenía problemas técnicos y especialmente de framerate, y Old Hunters no está exento. En general tiene bajones, pero lo peor que me ocurrió fue en la zona de la Aldea Pesquera justo en la zona del pozo (no es spoiler, tranquilos) donde la imagen se congelo por lo menos 15 segundos por la alta carga de enemigos en pantalla. Algo que mancha totalmente la experiencia de juego y que afecta directamente la calificación.

    ¿La cámara? igual de mala, pero no impacta tanto al ser la duración tan solo una fracción de la duración en el juego original.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Manteniendo el estilo de su juego base, contamos con áreas de un estilo gótico y oscuro. Por supuesto que no es puntero pero tampoco necesita serlo, ya que su estilo visual es suficientemente placentero para acompañar la historia que Old Hunters nos cuenta.
    Se echan de menos áreas visualmente distintas, pero las que hay están bien trabajadas.

    SONIDO:
    Sublime. Esa pieza durante el combate contra Lady María es lo que uno espera escuchar al pelear contra un Boss.

    Los efectos de áreas y enemigos están bien implementados también, y aumentan esa sensación de miedo y misterio. (¿Soy el único al que le gusta la “canción” que cantan esos Cerebros Andantes que aumentan el frenesí? Lalalaaa La)

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Un DLC de calidad, con buenos añadidos y extras, pero un DLC a fin de cuentas. Además, acarrea los mismos problemas técnicos que el juego base.    … Expand

    I have trust issues with DLCs and very often I refuse to buy them simply because they are not worth the price or I refuse to buy something that would have been necessary in the game itself but they cut it out to sell it as a DLC. This is what the standard should be for DLCs in the market. Bloodborne itself was complete already, but this addition just enriches the gameplay and story even more.

    While the base game introduced the player into the new game mechanics of the souls series, the DLC almost expects you to have memorized the mechanics by now. The difficulty is increased, enemies hit harder, are faster, fights tend to get more chaotic, the whole package. If you already played through the basegame and decide to start the DLC for the first time on an NG+ run, I would highlyWhile the base game introduced the player into the new game mechanics of the souls series, the DLC almost expects you to have memorized the mechanics by now. The difficulty is increased, enemies hit harder, are faster, fights tend to get more chaotic, the whole package. If you already played through the basegame and decide to start the DLC for the first time on an NG+ run, I would highly discourage you from doing that. Apart from that, it is certainly one of the better DLCs that any game has produced to this point and proudly stands at par or even above all DLCs from the rest of the Souls series.
    The pros:
    - Level design, like the base game is exceptional.
    - Atmosphere and lore from the base game are expanded and give further context.
    - New weapons are arguably among the most "fun" weapons in the game
    - New challenging enemy types ensure that the first run through the DLC is not a breeze.
    - The final, and most important plus: The bosses. Without going into spoiler territory, I find a majority of the bosses to the best in any of Souls, be it by challenge, soundtrack, or just the overall satisfaction of beating them.

    The cons:
    - Even though you really get your money's worth with the DLC, I can't help but wanting more of Bloodborne. I may be wrong, but the DLC overall felt quite short (especially in comparison to the Dark Souls 3 DLCs).

    In summation: If you liked Blooborne, then you will not get around playing the DLC. I recommend the DLC to anyone in possession of a PS4.    … Expand

    Some insist that Souls’ and Bloodborne’s greatest quality is their sadistic difficulty. If so, The Old Hunters is hands down the best game by From Software. [02/2016, p.48]
