Huge Dark Souls fanboy here. Bloodborne
>>384654970
The only thing that Dark Souls 1 does better is world design. It's mechanics have aged like milk.
>>384654810
Dark Souls is on PC, so Bloodborne can go suck a dick.
Still Dark Souls
>no reason to play BB twice
>skill builds are by far the best
>90% of the game is just gothic architecture
>armor doesn't mean anything
>still glitchy after being out for two years
>carries over Dark Souls 2's fucky hitboxes
>characters suck
>covenants suck
>chalice dungeons FUCKING SUCK
Objectively Dark Souls for being such a unique game when it came out, Bloodborne is a mediocre action game with souls like mechanic
I still platinated it tho
>>384654904
Also this, DaS3 is an improved BB
DaS1 automatically loses for having Bed of Chaos.
>>384655916
Das3 is a worse BB
Demon's Souls
>>384654810
>>384654810
I really grew to love Bloodborne's speed and it's emphasis on aggression over caution, so Bloodborne. Would like to see them push both those things even further with a new IP all together
I played and beat BB first so BB.

Both games start good but Dark Soul's second half is pure bullcrap, while Bloodborne's second half is weirder than the first but still good
>>384654810
>mfw too stingy to buy a PS4
>>384655916
DaS3 is what would happen if you took Bloodborne, removed everything that made Bloodborne good, and added a coat of Dark Souls paint over it. There's not a single thing 3 does better over the other games in the series.

Bloodborne is the better game but I still prefer DaS1 just cos it reminded me >>384654885

Am I the only one who loved DaS second half.
Sure you have some shit like the BoC and everything it New Londo Ruins but the level design went from cool Stine castles to out of the world trippy hellscapes, gorgeous views overlooking a stunning lake, walking down a staircase of light while ghost knights surround you, to cascading down fucking crystals and invisible floors.
The second half blew my fucking mind because I thought I was just getting a great polished crawl through castles when everything just went to 100 and threw the most ridiculous designs ever at me (think of the butt dragons)
>The first time I finally crawled my way through tomb of the Giants and came upon that gorgeous view overlooking ash lake and miles of archtrees
It was 4 in the morning at the time and I had been very depressed that day and spent all of it playing DS, that was the accumulation of the entire day of struggling through every inch of the game. Reaching that point was like a holy moment for me no matter how gay that sounds and I will never forget it.
If you only play once, Bloodborne. If replay value matters, Dark Souls.
DS3, BB is awesome but is way to overrated by sonniggers who didn't even played a single dark souls
>>384658371
>There's not a single thing 3 does better over the other games in the series.
Best graphics in the entire franchise (you probably did not play in PC).
FP system.
Covenants.
Online reliability.
Ant the most important: Waifu having feedback to your gestures.
They're equally good but perform better in certain aspects that the other.
>Bloodborne has better weapons and mechanics.
>Dark souls has better world building and a timeless setting
>>384659242
DS3 throws the creativity even DS2 had out the window
>>384659014
I actually replayed BB more
I would almost say they are same/similar games and the only breaking point is the style/atmo/setting. So game wise, they are all on par and if you have the chance i would suggest you to play any of them and if you like one, you will probably like all others, even when some might be worse or not as new, you can still get enjoyment out of it because the gameplay doesn't really change in the end that much by each game, and gameplay is what matters first.and thats why the mess that is DaS3, is subjectively the worst
>>384659252
Bloodborne has that last one.
>>384659003
>Am I the only one who loved DaS second half.
Yes.
>>384659649
I don't know, I don't buy underpowered overpriced machines.
>>384654810
both
owning or playing one doesn't delete the other from existence
I like the gameplay of all souls games and they're fairly similar in that regard but just speaking of the setting, I prefer Dark Souls. It's like western high fantasy viewed from a remote third person view, liberated and free of all the cliches that have built up over the years. There's something uncanny to it that's really intriguing.

>Complaining this hard about the most cheesable boss in the series
I honestly enjoy this boss in some ways because it's so different than anything else in any game.
Feels like an experiment gone wrong but an experiment none the less which beats the same get under the legs and spam three hits before rolling boss that is everyone in DS3

I think people blow out of proportion how bad the second half is. The only real stinker is Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith, the rest of the levels are overall average to pretty good. I'm probably one of the few people who likes New Londo, the atmosphere is unlike any other area in the game. Dukes is alright but admittedly tedious, and Tomb of the Giants is fantastic, the only part I hate is that you have to go through the Catacombs to reach it and I fucking hate the Catacombs.
>>384660135
Lost izalith was too unique looking for me not to like it. My favorite area in any souls game on first playthrough.
Second time through not quite as enjoyable.
at the end, who was the stronger one?
Dark Souls

>improved gameplay
Literally just mash roll without any rhyme or reason since the i-frames are so generous.
>improved performance
A Bloodborne PC port would be great, the frame pacing really is an issue, but it'll never happen
>improved weapon variety
Your kidding right? You can go through the entire game using only the starting straightsword. If you thought the R1 spam in BB was bad, DaS3 ramps it up 10 folds.
>improved armor variety
Both are around the same, armor doesn't even matter in 3 since there's no poise
>best individual level design
The only half decent level is undead settlement and Church of the Deep. Irythyll, Farron Swamp, Irythyll Dungeon, Lothric Castle, and Dreg Heap are easily some of the worst levels I have ever had the displeasure of playing through.
>>384654810
Loved DS1 for years. A couple days ago I just finished Bloodborne's DLC on NG+ for the first time on a friends' PS4 that I borrowed for a couple months.
This is not even a contest. Dark Souls is a much, much better game.
Bloodborne is great, and I heartily recommend it. But it is not nearly on the level that DaS1 is.
Also, anyone who says Bloodborne's quality doesn't drop off needs to reexamine the game. Everything post-Rom is hilariously easy. I was playing without a guide, and only died once to any of the last 5 bosses. Wasn't even Gehrman.
The One Reborn is this game's Bed of Chaos. What were they thinking with that thing?
Either way, both are great. The Old Hunters is god-tier. Almost as good as Artorias of the Abyss.
Even if it ran well and had decent load times, It wouldn't be as good.
>>384660568
What happened? The truth hit you too hard?
>>384660695
The One Reborn is easy though.
>>384660695
The level immediately after room is the hardest in the game
>>384661350
Yes because of the awful framepacing
>>384654810
Bloodborne has guns. So Bloodborne wins.
Having played all the Souls-games since the release of Demon's, i can safely say that...
Bloodbourne > Dark Souls > Demon's Souls > DS3 > DS2
>>384660695
>>384661671
PC was a mistake
>>384662784
Why? Because you are poor and cant afford one?
>>384654810
DaS1 had a much stronger impact on the first playthrough, it was my first introduction to the souls series so I got my ass kicked pretty hard. The challenge of getting gud was half the fun. By the time I reached BB after playing DaS2 and 3 I was already experienced, so BB didn't have that "holy shit" level of surprise from getting 1 shot by being a baddie. In fact, you learn to expect it and not rush in to everything.
BB is still the better game though.
>>384662714
Having also played all the Souls-games since the release of Demons, i can assure you that
Bloodbourne > Dark Souls > Demons Souls > DS2 > DS3
>>384662910

DaS cured my gaming funk after several years. About to play BB now.

Why are the DLC treated like a separate game
