Hidetaka Miyazaki Must Intervene to Solve a Devastating Debate Between Bloodborne and Elden Ring Fans

The gaming community is no stranger to debate, but few discussion ignites as much passion as when discussing Hidetaka Miyazaki’s titles. Fans of FromSoftware’s games have long enjoyed both Bloodborne and Elden Ring. However, with the recent release of Shadow of the Erdtree, fans have engaged in a heated debate over which DLC is better: The Old Hunter or Shadow of the Erdtree.

With the community’s emotions running very high, it might be the perfect time for Miyazaki himself to step in and end this intense discussion before it gets too far. As both DLCs have their merits and provide their base game with a significant content boost, especially with new bosses, new weapons, and various new gameplay mechanics that enhance the player experience even more.

Fans Engaged in Heated Debate Over Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Best DLC

Hidetaka Miyazaki has a unique ability to not only create intricate storylines that feature complex characters but also unite the community with his gameplay design philosophies. With the recent huge success of Elden Ring‘s DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, players have engaged in a discussion about what makes a great DLC.

This question has led them to argue that Shadow of the Erdtree is great, but it doesn’t hold much candle to the 2015’s The Old Hunters DLC of Bloodborne. The reason this debate got heated is that some fans believe that Shadow of the Erdtree is a brilliantly exciting expansion that brings out the best of the base game’s open world and gameplay mechanics, adding layers to the gameplay.

However, for some, it feels like a copy of the original title with some added new features to make it look different. Even though all the new bosses are creative and have deep motives behind their actions, they do not reach the same heights as the original game’s iconic foes.

In contrast, many believe The Old Hunters DLC brought much more to the table. It not only addressed several major issues of the base game (weapon choices and gameplay mechanics) but also expanded the Bloodborne universe in more meaningful ways. Players were treated to new and intriguing locations, challenging yet unforgettable bosses, and an intricate backstory that further deepened the game’s already haunting narrative.

The whole thread is filled with arguing and discussing what are the best traits of each of the DLCs. However, sometimes the argument has gone too far with some fans dismissing each other’s preferences outright so this is where Miyazaki’s intervention would help a lot.

Is Time for Miyazaki to Step In and Settle This Debate Once and For All

As the debate rages on, it is perfectly clear that the passion fans have for both Bloodborne and Elden Ring stems from their deep appreciation for Miyazaki’s work. Rather than allowing the conversation to go on for too long, it may be time for the man behind the curtain to step into the spotlight.

Miyazaki could potentially offer a perspective that highlights the strengths of each DLC and their unique merits, clarifying the design philosophies that guided the development of both games and allowing fans to appreciate the differences rather than view them as direct competitors.

Additionally, if due to this intervention, he decides to create a new project that combines the best aspects of both titles, uniting all the fans under a common banner. Just imagine a game with the haunting atmosphere of Bloodborne and the expansive exploration that Elden Ring provides.

In the end, it doesn’t matter which game or DLC players like the most, the most important takeaway is that these games have showcased the community’s shared love for challenging gameplay and atmospheric storytelling.
