Sony has some special deals for all you co-op gamers in the United Kingdom and Europe. The annual Easter Sale kicked off yesterday with some sales only lasting until March 30, and a great many more going until April 6. There are a fair number of titles on sale for the PlayStation 4, Playstation 3, and the Vita, but of particular note are a few co-op titles, like Bloodborne, Grand Theft Auto V, and Rainbow 6 Siege.
Honestly, the Co-Op Game of the Year for 2015 was one that I don't think any single staff member would have picked at the beginning of the year. It simply came out of left field, snuck up on us right before the busy fall gaming season, and surprised everyone with it's fun gameplay. In a year that saw a new Halo as well as Call of Duty&...
With 2015 in the books we thought we'd look back at the year and see what the most popular highlights were for our readers. Looking over the top stories it's surprising to see some things in the list, namely Rock Band 4, Warhammer: End of Times Vermintide. We all but thought that the music genre was dead but Rock Band 4 proved to us otherwise, folks still enjoy their fake plastic instruments with friends. And Warhammer: EoTV came out of nowhere to be one of the best co-op games we played this year.
One of the key selling points of Bloodborne's DLC, The Old Hunters, was the addition of new weapons, which is both a good and bad thing. It's nice that the new weapons offer players more choices in what to use - as well as making some builds more viable - but the ability to max out those weapons was limited as the item needed to do so could only be acquired once per playthrough. Until now.
Cyber Monday is here. It's like Black Friday but with a more risque attitude. Amazon of course is participating and there's lots of good games to grab on the cheap. Here are a select few co-op titles we found buried in the bargain bin.
You and your team of monster-slaying Hunters plumbed the depths of Yharnam and faced the nightmarish beasts that lie below. You've bested Bloodborne, and fired your trusty side arm wildly into the air in celebration. But before you smash your disc into a trillion pieces, as tradition demands for defeated games, maybe cast your gaze to "The Old Hunters," the first (and only) DLC/expansion for Bloodborne, out now.
The "Old Hunters" DLC arrives next Tuesday, November 24, for everyone's favorite action RPG, Bloodborne. If you've been looking forward to this new content and eagerly awaiting any news about the new weapons, then allow us to highlight for you the bowblade. Yep. It's a blade that turns into a bow.
More news coming out of Paris Games Week on the Sony side of things. During their press conference on Tuesday, Michel Ancel came on stage to present the new IP he's been working called Wild. While it wasn't mentioned during the conference, it appears some form of multiplayer is being considered for the game; what's more, it may be inspired by Bloodborne.
No matter what sorts of garbage life throws at you, you can always cast a sidelong glance towards literally anyone inhabiting the world of Bloodborne and say "Well at least I'm not that guy." The Souls games have a tendency to be both terrifying and depressing, where even defeating a colossal demon offers little in the way of gratification since the damage has already been done and not even the sweet release of death can save you.
The Souls series and, by extension, Bloodborne haven't always been the easiest when it comes to connecting with your friends. Arguments about core mechanics of how summons are intended to work aside, it appears that gothic horror adventure title will be getting a patch next week to make matching easier and, more intriguing, to scale the stats of lower level players to the host.
It's great news to hear that Bloodborne is continuing to improve and get better with each patch. A recent update made decent changes to multiplayer, limits on game storage capacity, as well as the Kirkhammer.
It would be dumb to not expect an expansion coming out of one of the best PlayStation 4 games of 2015 thus far, Bloodborne. At least we have a confirmation from Sony that Bloodborne will be getting an expansion to keep us excited for more.
