It's why the Bloodborne vs. Witcher 3 poll was so heated, Sonygaf just hated that an exclusive didn't poll as well as a Sony exclusive.

Got both a PS4 and a mid range PC. Played both W3 and BB. I know what they say about opinions etc, however IMO BB is the superior game.

W3 might be massive, have great writing and grfx however the combat is not its greatest asset.

Whereas BB has the better combat. Only issue restricted to frame pacing and 30 fps and under due to being exclusive.

I still cant believe W3 is so popular. I quit half way through couldnt take any more of the useless loot/combat system.

I'm calm, you're just gross.

Thank you internet person, I greatly treasure your opinion of me over a single post I made that you're offended by.

 

[renzolama]

......did you....get lost and stumble your way here or something?

In what way does the thread title justify public shaming?

Because it's a clickbait title hiding a screenshot love-in thread. If it was named 'Ghost of Tsushima sure is a beautiful game' then I wouldn't be here.

Bloodborne - better combat.
The Witcher 3 - better everything else.

Yet somehow Bloodborne is a better game overall?

Play The Witcher on Death March difficulty. Loot suddenly is not so useless and combat becomes more engaging and rewarding. Studying weaknesses of each monster and preparation (potions, oils, etc.) is key. I actually loved that aspect about The Witcher.

The world is stunning. I just wish it had a larger focus on the duels which are a ton of fun. Fighting mobs of enemies gets monotonous and harkens back to games like Assassin's Creed or Witcher 3.

Its called people having different taste, Some people like me enjoyed Bloodborne more than Witcher.

You say this:

The Witcher 3 - better everything else.

But it not gonna be true for everybody else.

What I did play of W3 was on death march in fact.

W3 being multi plat explains it being more popular overall I guess.

 

[bender]

Death March isn't even difficult after the first few hours.

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Comparing Bloodborne to Witcher is kind of pointless anyway, 2 different type of games.

Eh.. animations, enemy design, controls.. it’s clearly not just combat.

And before Ghost of Tsushima, The Witcher 3 was my Game of the Gen so i obviously love that game to death.

On the contrary, groups of enemies never became monotonous to me even after 200 hours, in this game. And i basically only used the Water Stance. Actually, all i fucking use is Surging Strikes and i could do that for an entire year nonstop 24/24 without getting bored, lol.

I only made it to the second part of the map before dipping out.

I loved the first couple of hours of Ghost of Tsushima. But the narrative was not strong enough to keep my interest. I got to the second part of the island and decided to save the rest for PS5. I might re-visit after the next-gen patch. I hated the constant drops in frames and vaseline image quality. Plus my PS4 Pro was lauder than hair-dryer when playing.

On the other hand, I finished The Witcher 3 4 times (1 x PS4 Pro, 2 x Xbox One X and 1 x PC).

Different people like different things - shocking.

I had the opposite experience, it took some time to click but then i unlocked stuff, understood the combat, met some characters and after a while i was hooked. Absolutely in love with the game now.

It's like we played different games, lol.
Also compared to RDR2 and God of War, my Pro was basically silent.

Or maybe we have different expectations? I only use PlayStation to play Sony exclusive titles. Maybe that's why.

When I see things like this, I am so happy I decided to put the game down and wait until PS5. It’s gonna be amazing.

Dude, samesies. Was thinking the exact same thing coming in here. Good on the NSFW tag cause I have an erection now.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Add me to the list that bought digital day 1, but after a few hours I decided I HAD to wait for PS5, to play this game as best as it can look and perform. I’m really hoping SP does this game justice with a PS5 patch.

 

[Woopah]

Saw NSFW tag
Expected photos of Jin's ass
Disappointing

I'm glad I wasn't the only one which thought that

 

[Aion002]

It is really pretty. But for good or worse this kind of thing doesn't affect me. If a game is pleasant to the eyes or not, if the gameplay or the story grabs me, after 10 minutes playing I simply stop paying attention to all those details (or the lack of those) and focus only in the things I enjoy (gameplay and/or story).


I finished TW3 at launch on the OG PS4 and never cared/noticed all the issues.... I finished Bloodborne without paying attention to all the frame pacing "game breaking" thingie for some...

 

[Tschumi]

Okay, you just made me clench. That really only happens when games truly get through to me, graphically. Well done, sir. How bout dem Playstations am i right boys?

 

[Shmunter]

Going to kick this off on PS5 60fps asap

 

[Pimpbaa]

The game looks amazing except for the last area. Pretty bland compared to other open world games with snowy areas and what the hell was with the constant thunderstorms there?
