I was messing with my PSN accounts last night and just found out that apparently I have  on the account I never use anymore. Is there a way for me to transfer that (or buy something and gift it) to my current account or is that just money lost?

morallyobjected posted:a week ago, I would have considered getting this, because I've enjoyed Bloodborne a lot (last time I played, I had just beaten The One Reborn), but World of Final Fantasy is taking up all my time now, and with FFXV coming out this month, I don't know if I'll get back to Bloodborne any time soon. I think it's the first time I've seen the xpac go on sale (maybe I missed it once earlier in the year) and the game's pretty much timeless so it might be worthwhile to have it waiting for when you're ready.

Bloodborne is the best game so more of the best game+ cheapness is good.

Some real cheap PSOne classics if that's your jam. Is Grandia worth playing in TYOOL 2016?

What is the nature of the Bloodborne DLC? Description makes it sound like some sort of side mission. Is there content that would mess with the game balance for a first-time player?

It's technically two DLCs worth of content as well, since they decided to bring two planned DLCs into what is now the Old Hunters DLC.

It's definitely not a side mission. It's a proper expansion pack in the old school sense. You can play it first time around but you need to be fairly high level or you'll get destroyed very quickly.

There's a lot of stuff in their catalog that's harder than it, most notably the entirety of Last Raven. Also Armored Core V, for a different definition of 'difficult'.

Not much in that same that appeals to me but I'll probably end up getting Metal Slug because that's far closer to a price I would have paid for it in the first place.

It's a pretty extensive proper expansion pack that is a combination of two planned DLCs. For a first time player, it will definitely take a good few hours. It's 3 main areas, with 4 mandatory and 1 optional boss. You can go back and forth to the main game if you get stuck. You can get to the DLC early if you want, but I think it's meant for late game, personally. I'd say like level 80 or so? I always feel like I'm underleveled when I go with the consensus level recommendation for DLC, but it's probably because I suck. After beating it, you will definitely be strong/skilled enough to obliterate the normal game. Don't worry about it affecting your regular playthrough – nothing will get added to your inventory or anything that breaks the game balance. You have to go out of your way to find it. If you're playing online right now, the DLC is already included in the latest patch – buying the DLC just unlocks the area.

you can go to the dlc earlier than you'd think because the soul drop rate is high so you'll catch up to level pretty quick. i started it as soon as I had 30 vitality

You can go suicide run for some weapons. You can activate the DLC pretty early in the game, but it is totally meant for high level play. I played it at the end of a normal playthrough with about 47 strength, and still wasn't doing satisfactory damage. I'm also one of the few who will maintain that the DLC is merely Okay with 2 really cool boss fights.

She will either drop the item, or it will appear on the ground in the hunter's dream. Just get grabbed by the invisible Amygdala in the plaza right outside of Cathedral Ward.

I will start over then. Maybe this run I won't screw up the event flags for a lot of the quests. Is there any new Dex weapons in the DLC (bought already from this sale), as I went with dex in my first run, but never switch from the cane you get at the start.

There are a good variety of weapons for all builds: strength, skill, arcane, and bloodtinge, along with a few hybrids. I think that strength does get a few more fun toys, but you'll definitely have options.

With one exception I think the coolest weapons in the DLC are all DEX. The Bowblade wrecks a lot of encounters for BLT builds in particular, and the Rakuyo is like an even more stylish upgrade to the Blades of Mercy. Quality builds also get the Beasthunter Saif, which just looks like a slightly bigger Saw Cleaver but has an incredible moveset.

I grew up playing the metal slug games back in the arcades. I want to recommend the anthology. but i cannot. The slowdown or framerate in metal slug 1 is unforgivably bad. 2-4 seem to be better but I still feel some lag. But it is deff acceptable for a casual. You can select the difficulty from easy , normal to hard and you have infinite credits.

Are the framerate issues still not resolved with the ps4 anthology port? I thought they upped the framerate on most ps2 to ps4 classics.

Thanks all for the Bloodborne DLC info! I'm actually sitting on a sealed copy of Bloodborne. I'll probably return that and buy the complete digital version instead, since it now comes out to slightly cheaper than what I paid for physical + the sale DLC price. Any thoughts on Grandia or Legend of Dragoon? I'm kinda fully loaded on portable JRPGs, but these are cheap enough to have me curious.
