The Witcher 3 has like actual writing and character drama instead of the typical Fromsoft “what if we just, like, implied that there was a story and let players use their imagination to fill in all the fiddly bits like what it actually is?” style of Bloodborne.

Bloodborne has what is ostensibly very good actual gameplay but I wouldn’t know because it was a console only game so I just have to use DS2, Sekiro, and DS3 as points of reference there to infer what it was actually like, whereas the Witcher 3 has very janky and not very good mechanical gameplay although to its credit it is the least bad of the Witcher games in that regard.

Conclusion: they’re so radically different and each clearly win in the areas that are their individual strong points that I don’t know why one would even compare them. It’d be like comparing Armored Core 6 and Rogue Trader and asking which was the best game of 2023.

I could give a opinion about it if Sony suck less and release Bloodborne on PC.

Go emulators, I need you.

uhh, the one that has Gwent

Witcher 3 starts out great, but everything after the first act feels terribly rushed. If it had kept up the quality of the first act it would actually deserve all the “best game of all time” praise it gets but it really just doesn’t. Where it ends up is as the first open world rpg that doesn’t fall apart at the seams as you play it (which basically just means it is not a bethesda game).

I’ve not played bloodborne for it being exclusive to the PS4, but if it is at all as good as the other non-sequel-games Miyazaki has made (the original Dark Souls, Sekiro and Elden Ring) and I have no reason to suspect it isn’t, then it easily clears Witcher 3. Also hot take: Item descriptions are the optimal way of giving world information to the player.

Witcher 3 hands down

Witcher 3 made my hands ache dodging a pack of wolves so I quit. I’ve never played Bloodborne so I’m gonna say Hades 2 is the superior game.

Both good 👍

“We should improve society somehow”

Mary Sue Cocaine Battlemage climbing out of a well covered in filth: “Yet you participate in society, also nazis were just following orders, I’m very smart”

No really, I haven’t finished the book saga nor the main vidyagames but fucking Thronebreaker was the most braindead shit ever and it literally included “Nazis stand-ins were just following orders” in the ending scenes, despite having mentioned dozens of times how they genocided and enslaved the population they conquered and resettled the territories with own superior citizens. For fuck sakes, the end of the soviet union was an unlimited disaster for humanity, but before that handing polish “people” a nation-state was already a massive fuck up.

Witcher 3 for the story Bloodlborne for the ambience. Really wish fromsoft gave me more plot without me feeling like an archeologist. Cause it’s good.

Witcher 3 wins because it’s not console exclusive, and also because it has actually pretty good writing.

Got bored of witcher 3 then never went back yet play bloodborne yearly. But actually both are superceded by anything Gilson B Pontis has made

Witcher 3 and it’s not close
