Bloodborne: The Old Hunters Collector's Edition Guide Hardcover – 11 December 2015

Me encantó esta guía del DLC de Bloodborne, The Old Hunters. Se ve muy padre y en la portada presenta a uno de los personajes más importantes de esta expansión.Me llegó en muy buenas condiciones y en sus páginas vienen guías para pasar esta pesadilla de los viejos cazadores, así como estrategias para combatir a sus jefes. Sin mencionar que también incluye todas las armas.Muy buen artículo de colección.

Je suis agréablement satisfait de ce guide du DLC de Bloodborne, qui accompagne assez bien le guide original du jeu. La dernière section qui porte sur la mythologie et l'histoire des personnages et des factions du jeu est tout particulièrement intéressante.

It's rare to see Future Press make a guide for the expanded content of a game. When Dark Souls and Dark Souls II got their expansions, Future Press wasn't in sight at all with a guide to cover new content and items. In their introduction Future Press admits they wanted to do such things for expansions but could never really justify it. Here, they just went for it. The end result is a guide that stays incredibly consistent with the original guide published. But rather than publishing a whole new book (that would amount to near 800 pages if they did) they merely covered the expansion by itself. Needless to say, you won't get any content for the original game if you don't have the original guide. Therefore, you might want to think of the guide itself as also an expansion.The layout is almost exactly the same as the original guide, but this time it jumps right in. The original guide spent a lot of time getting you acquainted with the game. This one, however, assumes you're already familiar with the systems found in Bloodborne. This guide isn't treating "The Old Hunters," like a new game, but assuming that you already know Bloodborne's various systems in and out. What it does do, however, is point out the changes made in the various patches over time and how they will affect the gameplay. The opening section of the guide spends more time getting you familiar with the updates rather than familiar with the game itself. This is perhaps what I like most about this guide. It doesn't spend a lot of time rehashing stuff from the previous guide. Everything it does rehash is all quick. There is a table for the weapons and a quick call out to previous enemies they've already discussed.This doesn't mean it'll shorthand you in all the areas. The guide has no qualms jumping int the walkthrough and it's written exactly as it was before. The walkthrough has markers on the maps that guide you through the various areas of The Hunter's Nightmare, pointing out branching paths and pointing out items along the way. The walkthrough is going to feel quick, however. It'll give you combat scenarios and how to deal with them, but for the most part, it spends time focusing on what to do at certain points. The walkthrough itself doesn't have boss strategies or individual enemy strategies. All that stuff is saved for later. The walkthrough gets the job done, but as with the original guide, the stuff beyond the walkthrough is far more valuable and insightful.First there is the bestiary. This section gives step by step tip son how to defeat each and every new enemy encountered in The Old Hunters. More than that, the guide also provides the expert boss strategies necessary to get past the strongest of foes. They're precise and in depth. A part of me still wishes they were in the walkthrough itself, but the fact that they're as in depth and as good as they are will have to suffice. The strategies always give an overview and then detail the battle itself and also talk about the environment you're fighting in. They're usually helpful tips and to the point.The Old Hunters introduces a LOT of fascinating new weapons and this guide will help you understand how they work. Diagrams show how their swings work, how fast and how effective they can be. They also detail how to scale the weapon to the best of its abilities and offer advice on which gems to attach to it. This is where I got some of the most out of the guide simply because the new weapons were amazing, and it helped to recognize how they work. This is especially true if you've engaged in PVP or cooperation and seen these weapons in action without having them yourself. There is also a lot of useful information on the new items and attire you'll find as well.Another useful portion of the book is that the guide also gives individual strategies for each hunter. It talks about the weapons they use and how to defeat them. There's always a good breakdown.A lot of game include trophies now, but I'm always surprised how many guides neglect a Trophy Guide. It's starting to become standard to include a trophy guide for those who want it and I'm glad to see it here. It'll point out trophies but sometimes the strategies are located elsewhere in the guide and you'll have to flip back. It's an interesting concept and I'm glad more guides are starting to do this. It's pretty good here and it's great some of these strategies are in the walkthrough. Other times, it has quick references for you. For instance, in terms of getting all the weapons, there's a handy chart to point to where all of them are.If you were one that was particularly interested in the lore of Bloodborne the last chapter might be the most fascinating for you. The last bit spends a lot of time talking about the lore and going in depth about the story of Bloodborne. It does this by showing connections between locations, characters and even talks about the items in your inventory that add to it. If need be, they'll also utilize dialog to help you understand the lore as well. Dialog drawn directly from the game. It all comes together to provide a coherent and in-depth interpretation of the events of Bloodborne. If you're curious about the lore and want to know more, this is a nice bit. Although it's still just as fun to learn of these things on your own. At least it serves as a great reference. The last bit is an art gallery and it's pretty amazing to look at. A nice bit of closure to such a fantastic guide.The best part about this guide is that you can use as much or as little as you like and still feel like it's helping to enhance the game compliment the game itself. It's a detailed guide. If you've got Bloodborne and you need some help with The Old Hunters, this is a great guide to invest in.

No sólo te explica la historia y te da las referencias de dónde saca cada información, sino que además te explica todo sobre el juego y te muestra el arte, con una calidad brutal. Vale su precio, aunque cubra una parte más pequeña del juego, ofrece contenido muy especial como un análisis completo de la historia basado en cada descripción de objeto. Excelente

Che dire, il prodotto è confezionato con la solita premura e maestria cui ci ha abituato la Future Press. Un book, che avvalora il titolo in questione, paragonabile oltre che a guida e bestiario del gioco a vero e proprio pezzo da collezione. Consigliatissimo a tutti gli amanti del fantastico, cupo mondo di Bloodborne. Unica nota, rispetto l'edizione full game il formato è di molto ridimensionato a livello di pagine, questo però non ha sortito alcun ribasso nel prezzo.Consigliato a prescindere per la sua utilità e per la sua belllezza.
