Super Gaming Saturday: The Old Hunters


Ever heard of Dark Souls? The game where your goal is to succeed through death? Dark Souls goes up to 3 now, and there’s another game made by FromSoftware called Bloodborne, a PlayStation 4 exclusive. Recently Bloodborne got some new downloadable content, (DLC) called The Old Hunters, I can’t afford it right now but I’ll be damned if I don’t play it. Anyways, one of the most interesting new additions that this DLC brings is a weapon called Simon’s Bowblade. Well in Bloodborne what’s cool about the weapons is the fact that they have two functions, so Simon’s Bowblade is first a sword, but when activated turns into a greatbow. So what’s so cool about that? Well if you played the game before you’d know that the melee weapons can reach to a certain point, and some of them do have the added function of activating into a gun. Well in this game you do have your own firearm, but firearms in this game aren’t very good, they’re used to stun enemies or to counterattack. Well the weapon being able to turn into a bow is pretty darn cool because it gives you a lot of range and when you lock onto an enemy you can pretty much stand as far away, within reason, from an enemy and tear them to shreds with arrows. And that’s only one of many weapons that come from this new DLC, not to mention a new band of non-player characters (NPC) have been added recently and hooking up with these NPC’s could net yourself a staff that can give you access to a leaderboard that ranks everyone else who joined The League (The League being the new band of NPC’s). I can’t get into the story of The Old Hunters, because I don’t want to ruin it for myself to be honest. So if you want to get at this new DLC its $19.99, and Bloodborne is a really sick game so I would recommend it highly.
