you can only pick one
Bloodborne.
I stopped playing X after 20 hours or so.
Bloodborne
>>323174401
Bloodborne is an actual good game.
>>323174401
ill pick the one with actual meritritious combat and a literal 10/10 art design and sound design
the one with good writing and world building, you know?
but most of all the one with proper gameplay, because thats the only important thing really.
so yeah i guess its an unfair comparison because its like comparing an android game with a proper title
Bloodborne
>>323174687
>>323174703
it's interesting to see the only time XCX gets hate is when matched against BB
>>323174703
So XCX.
>comparing memeborne to the GOTY
Bloodborne.
>>323174401
a game or an mmo without the m or the m or the o
hmm I wonder which one I will pick
>>323174703
I know right, xenoblade was pretty good
>>323175057
>XCX
>GOTY
Incorrect
>>323174401
I can't, they're both everything I ever wanted.
Best work of Miyazaki versus the second worst work of Takahashi after the Xenosaga 2?
Of course Bloodborne.
>>323174401
>some souls game with a new artsyle
>or something actually good
I'll go with XCX thx
>>323174401
BB. Xeno was awful and X looks worse.
I've already played DeS, DaS and DaSll. BB is good, just more of the same thing under a very similar skin. Xeno is my choice, it's a pure, unadulterated JRPG. Not to take anything away from BB but XCX is more my thing.
XCX.
>>323175309
>it's a pure, unadulterated JRPG
You're mistaking JRPG and singleplayer MMO.
xenoblade all the way
souls game got boring midway through dark souls, no idea how people play them for more than 50 hours
at least des was short enough
Is this a fucking joke? Of course XCX
Bloodborne
single player mmos don't really appeal to me
>>323175453
And MMO combat doesn't get boring after 15min?
>not picking Xeno
Bitches
>>323175404
> Single Player Massively Online Multiplayer
Do you understand the meaning of the word "oxymoron"?
You're just a regular moron, shitposter.
Is XCX Japanese? Is it a RPG? Yes and yes. Its a JRPG, fucking illiterate.
>there are people that actually think their shitty sci-fi white knight chronicles rip-off is better than bloodborne
kek
>>323175628
>>323175628
Not him but memes sure do
I pick xenoblade, the best console exclusive of this decade
>>323174401
Bloodborne
Xeno is boring ass fuck
9 out of 10 people who responded have only played one of the two games.
I'm one of them.
Bloodborne.
>>323174401
Bloodborne all the way.
>>323174401
Souls games are shit so Xenoblade X(tm)
>>323175804
yet you pick THE meme game.
XCX Of course
Bloodborne.
Xenoblade X isn't bad, but it has a myriad of small issues which totally bring the experience down. I appreciate it for making the best open world I've ever played, I had no hope for the genre before X
Well, I played Souls games for like 4 years now in a row, so it's about time to take a break from it.
So yeah, XCX.
Xeno xeno xeno xeno
>>323175786
>There are people that can't state their personal choice without shitposting
Wouldn't expect less from Sonyfags
>>323174401
Bloodborne.
>>323175865
You're right, but I played XCX and DeS, and based on DeS I still stick to XCX
>>323175786
>there are people that think HP Lovecraft's Demon's Souls 4 is better than XCX
They are different games that I would play in different moods.
>>323174401
Bloodborne.
>>323174401
Easy!
Xeno X.
Next
BB
I like the combat better.
Flying around in a mech is all I wanted to experience from XCX. Everything else is boring. It's nowhere near as good as Xenoblade.
>>323175865
I have both and I like Xenoblade X infinity times more.
>>323176168
youre so fucking underage
>>323176134
>HP Lovecraft's Demon's Souls
You say that like it's a bad thing
Xenoblade, withouth a doubt.
bloodborne its not a bad game at all, but its the same as its predecesor, afraid to do something new, art direction is good gameplay, not so much.
Xenoblade is a gigantic fuck you in the face of squaresoft and its call of duty mentality who branded formulaic jrpg games for more of a decade.
Xenoblade its fun to play,has gorgeous enviroments and a good example of a good open world.
What's XCX's gameplay like? It looks very PSO2/Modern FF, is that the right impression?
>washed up souls game
rofl no
>best open world game of all time
yes
>>323174401
>tfw only played ps4 and wii u for one game
bloodborne is better though
>>323174401
Bloodborne
>>323175009
>>323175164
>>323174401
I never played XCX, but I played XC and absolutely hated the battle system. It's probably more or less the same with some few new additions in X.
I'll go with Bloodborne. Really enjoyed the game and the DLC was amazing.
>>323176274
>Console warriors calling other people underage
Kek
>>323176274
What did he do? Make a reasonable response? Fuck you.
>>323176320
think PSO2 more than FF.
>>323176320
It plays like a watered down mmorpg.
>>323176134
a solid planned out experience with action combat vs drawn out sidequest galore with mmo combat
I would honestly pick XCX over any sony exclusive in history, even SOTC which was ACTUALLY good and not a fucking meme like souls
They're both great games and preferring either one is valid. Stop being so autistic about it.
Probably Bloodborne. I just can't get behind MMO styled combat in a single player game. It's never a good thing.
>>323174401
Xenoblade X easily
>>323174401
>asking this in ShitendoGAF
>DELETE THIS
>>323175740
It's a game with all the traits of massively multiplayer online game where you're denied all the most crucial social aspects that make them at least somehow sufferable.
This types of games is not worthy of even being called jrpg and they certainly aren't worthy of being called a "pure, unadulterated" example of genre.
>>323176320
>What's XCX's gameplay like?
Use skills, wait for cooldown, auto attack, etc
>>323174401
Meme game spouted by a vocal minority or a niche but great title?
I think I'll pick XCX guys, you can keep the memes
>All these plebs who can't appreciate XCX's combat.
The combat system is actually brilliant. I can get it not being your thing but thinking it's straight up bad is completely incorrect.
>>323174401
I'd pick xenoblade, but honestly, I already own both because they are both worth getting.
>>323174401
aside from playing dark souls with a zweihander souls games are pure fucking shit, give me something fresh and good to play any fucking day over them
>>323176320
It feels like playing MMO in offline mode.
>>323176747
>mmorpg combat is brilliant
Anon, don't be silly.
>>323176654
>Meme game spouted by a vocal minority
yeah I didn't really like XCX either
>>323174401
>left: overrated souls trash that sonyfags have to cling to
>right: greatest game of 2015
>>323176747
only rivaled by the combat in Rift
>>323174401
Xenoblade.
I've already played Bloodborne.
>>323176650
wait? auto attack?
Clearly you haven't played XCX, and are basing off XC
After you get Overclock gear, midgame and actually git gud, auto attacks and cooldown are non existent.
Skell combat, yes there is cooldown but you one-shot most things so it doesn't matter.
>>323176648
>It can't be a JRPG because it doesn't have conventional online multiplayer!
Yeah, you're retarded.
>wasting time on a demon souls 4
No thanks I'll play the good game
>>323174401
Both are great, really depends what you're looking for. I appreciated both for different reasons and the amount of partisan bullshit you idiots spew is disgusting. You can't like both? Says who?
>>323176489

>memeborne

GEE SO HARD
XCX
>>323177119
This, sans xbone. In a year I'll be able to just use my pc to play xbone games anyway.
>>323176747
I honestly really like it. Secondary cooldowns and Soul Voice create a very interesting tradeoff situation. Then there's XC's positioning system that makes you stay active. And skills are adequately varied and add more depth.
The only problem is that the game doesn't explain shit. I don't know what the buffs and debuffs do. I don't know what weather effects do unless a NPC happens to talk about them. I don't know what morale does besides buffing particular skills. Otherwise, XCX's battle systems are really good game design.
>>323174883
This is not true and you fucking know it. Long before the western release of XCX people were saying it was shit
>All these posts not increasing the IP count
Subtlety is the key here, guys.
>>323177134
It was the same for me. Love doing all the affinity missions I can before moving onto the next chapter
>>323174401

>>323177243
xbone is worth it for forza horizon 2 if you have a decent wheel
>>323177286
Does mine increase it?
All souls game are ripe trash, all Xeno games are beautiful
>>323176747
>combat system is actually brilliant
I played like 5 MMOs and XCX has a much more in-depth and elaborate battle system than all of them. It's such a great setup. I haven't played bloodborne yet so I'm not gonna offer an opinion, but generalizing the XCX battle system like this just tells me most people ITT only played one and are offering opinions anyway.color me shocked
>>323176608
>All of those companies gone shit
Geez how far mighty fallen and I own a PS4
>>323174401
I have neither, but basing my judgement on the original Xenoblade and DaS, BB is better.
Uh, Xenoblade? Who wants to play a pretentious meme game?
>>323177250
I bet you loved white knight chronicles too.
>Autistic nintentoddlers and sonyggers shouting "my game is better, nooooo my game is better" when in reality both games are absolute trash.
>>323177472
Or maybe you played shitty mmos.
XENO!
>Censored Chronicles vs GOTY
Hard choice.
gonna have to go with xeno, having played both.
but im not sure its reasonable to compare a <20 hour game with a >100 hour game
>>323177623
Xbone owner spotted
>>323176608
Except Nintendo gets ocassional support from Platnium and Nintendo's handhelds gets a massive amount of support from Square
Souls games have horrible combat so i'll pick xenoblade x for its open world
>>323177454
That's FFXIV, right? XCX doesn't global cooldown bullshit and you don't always want to use skills the moment their primary cooldown finishes. Except that there are situations where you do, like combos and Soul Voice. It's a really neat tradeoff situation.
Not to mention that both Xenoblades are a million times faster than most MMOs.
>>323175009
>>323175164
>XCX
>Good writing
Why?
On PS4 I have no other choice but to choose Bloodborne.
On WiiU I'd rather play something like Bayonetta 2, but Xenoblade doesn't look bad I guess, but I'm not the hugest JRPG fan.
>>323177762
>handheld
spot the manchild
>>323174401
I pick both. This thread is dumb.
>>323177728
I'm an idort, I own both a Wii U and a ps4. I dropped both games after 10 hours.
>>323177829
>Why?
Because souls games are shit? Why play them at all, on WiiU not only you get Bayo2 and Xeno X but a lot of backwards compatible shit
>>323177716
I see what you mean but that's actually a big reason for me, I prefer shorter more focused games over open world sprawling gorillion hour games
>>323177946
>>323177776
Where does it say Souls in the OP?
I only played Demon's and Dark1 but based on those I doubt the gameplay improved much (it was really, really bad).
World design was pretty cool but not enough to make up for it, so I'll have to go with Xeno X on this one
Sorry fromdrones
I loved both, but bloodborne is easily my favorite game of the last years, so i pick that one
>>323178028
i'm going to karate chop you in the nose if you pretend that Bloodborne isn't the exact same thing as Souls
>>323178028
I guess because hes assuming because BB is the same dev that it's the same game carbon copied
>>323178087
This pretty much, only played DeS but fuck that slow and clunky shit gameplay, at least XCX is fun to play and is not a rehash.
>meme game
Way to instantly invalidate your opinion you morons. Seriously what are you even trying to say? BB has amazing atmosphere, music and combat. XCX has amazing exploration, world, the combat is a big step up from the first game and it looks downright gorgeous even on the WiiU which is impressive in its own right. Both are games that should give you hope that there is potential for good shit to come out in the future but you're all just sitting here jabbering like retards. Also both sold like shit so way to go guys
>>323178136
Not really, the game feels markedly different to Souls titles for a variety of different reasons.
>souls type game
I bought a PS4 for BB 4 months ago. Barely played 10 hours.
Picked XCX up on a whim. 30 hours in 3 days. So good.
>>323174401
i own both, and i say xcx is the right choice, im like 120hours in and still having fun.
>>323178340
>fromdrones tricked me into buying ps3 for des

>I'll judge BB off of Dark/Demon's Souls, since they're totally the same game
>I'll judge XCX off that one MMO I played and didn't like, since it's totally the same style of gameplay
You people are fucking retards.
>>323178474
I fucking love Dark Souls though, and DS2 is pretty solid. Definitely seeing a downward trend though.
i honestly cannot fathom people that dislike soulslikes.
but then again i dont touch jrpgs because in my opinion theyre garbage
i guess its just so hard to realise that people have differing opinions. i mean not that theres anything wrong.
but it just seems so fucking objective to me,
although it probably does to you too, just the other way around.
Bloodborne and xcx are my top 2 games of 2015
It's close but I'll take xcx because I value exploration the most in games
>actually
>unironically
>playing
>meme
>games
>with
>shit
>gameplay
I cant relate, so I'll go with xcx on this TOTALLY hard 'choice'
>>323178583
I should also mention I think xcx is more flawed than bb but it's highs are so high it makes up for it
>>323176969
>midgame
>it gets good 50 hours in, I swear
>>323174401
I've played neither but from what I've seen, Bloodborne looks more interesting. Also the faces in XCX piss me off for some reason
>>323178474
BB is one of the best games out there but definately not worth it to buy a console just for this game.
When you beat it once, its over
At this point I'd pick anything over a souls game, tired of trudging around with that shit fucking combat and the exploratory excitement went away after firelurker in DeS.
Seriously just give me anything with good combat, fuck souls, I'd sooner pick AssCreed bullshit
>>323174401
Xenoblade by far. Way more shit to do than memorize piss easy attack patterns with 2 good weapons against copy pasted mobs and run back to where you died when you see something new or they throw a cheap one at you.
If I had beaten bloodborne instead of droped that boring ass game after 2 hours I would have picked Xeno all the same.
>>323178627

>>323174401
Souls games have incredibly bad combat and memetastic tier PvP. That being said I havent played XenoX but I'd still go with it
Outside of the mech segments, XCX is absolutely braindead hiking across featureless terrain with the odd enemy.
>>323175203
>Undermeme over MGSV
>MH as GOTY
>Not Xeno
Yeah no. This is the most incorrect list I've ever seen. The only passible ones are BB, Witcher, and wooly world. The rest is utter garbage for their months. You have horrible taste.
>>323178795
DLC was good too. I just finished it on wednesday. There is also now something called "The League" where co-opretaros get ranked or something. I have not tried it. That league thing is not part of the DLC. You get it as a free update.
Xenoblade because I like fun games.
>Nintendrones shitting on a game they haven't played
>Sonyggers shitting on a game they haven't played
You already know the default answer is going to be XCX, since /v/ is Nintendrone central. Only people who are confirmed idorts should be able to answer this question.

>>323179054
Outside of the odd enemy that suprises you on your first and only your first runthrough, and some of the easiest bosses in any souls-type games, Bloodborne is braindead muscle memory through boring edgy grimdark bullshit.
Only saving grace is the rich atmosphere, and even then it gets really old really fuckin fast.
Xeno all day.
>>323179310

>people saying souls games have bad combat
I get if you don't enjoy it, but from the standpoint of 'videogames should be engaging and challenging' you don't have a leg to stand on, the combat is good, if you don't like it fine, but it isn't by any stretch of the imagination 'bad'
>>323174401
XBX.
I'll get to play another DS rehash soon enough. Not that I want too.
>>323174401
Dark souls 2. Offered far more gameplay when compared to BB. Art was nice, and gameplay was challeneging. It also wasn't as depressing and weird as BB. Screw your options.
>>323179997
how is it challenging?
i honestly only played des and a bit of das, did all of blighttown with a standard zweihander and had no trouble whatsoever, and the difficulty in des is a fucking, literal, MEME, because the game is easy as shit in 90% of cases
>>323174401
Bloodborne, easily
>>323179876
Nah, university student and I had to make a choice already. I'll probably save up for a Wii U this year unless NX is going to be full Backwards
>>323180302
so you lied to me
>>323179881
Never played DMMM but I played through all of DD including dark arisen and I don't possibly see how you consider it to be better than souls combat, it's enjoyable but not at all as difficult or interesting as it could be, only one class gets to dodge, grappling on monsters can be overpowered, and you have two companions to back you up. Also pressing buttons to activate skills isn't nearly as rewarding as the timing you need to hit with your attacks in souls games. Listen it's a difference of opinion so you're more than welcome to believe what you want but DD has a lot in common with souls combat (or at least I felt like it did when I played it) but is less interesting and demanding. To each their own but I don't see how you can love DD combat and find nothing redeeming about souls combat, seems like a silly extremist view based on some irrational hatred of the souls games. I mean this as sincerely as possible, did you find them frustratingly difficult?
>>323179263
Getting pic ready for next post. S5 isnt working correctly. Powercycling it to get it to actually send the picture to my fucking email.
>>323180208
DeS was just plain easy and DaS is easy mode with Zwei, however BB gets difficult due to the change in mechanics and speed of the game
>>323174401
I havent played bloodborne but I played the other 3 souls games and the combat is too shitty for me to play a 4th.
Did play the first chronicles and it was amazing fun, so I'm gonna go with X.

Sure buddy

>id lie to you if i told you i wouldnt buy the thing in a heartbeat

>>323180208
It's challenging because if you get lazy you die, that's it. It demands your attention. I'm not saying it requires complex strategy but you can't just sit there half paying attention while shitposting on /v/ and expect not to get killed. I didn't even say it was hard I said it was challenging, you really have no reason to disputes that because it's the truth
>>323180384
Nah on the contrary I found them extremely easy
I might have irrational hate for them because of all teh fucking shilling that made me pick up a ps3, felt extremely disappointed by DeS because it was NOTHING that the fanboys claimed to be. I fucking stumbled onto firelurker with thiefs ring, almost 0 fireres and slow rolls and still did him on first try when I figured out how the stupid the AI was as I was panickly running around the pillars
And that was supposed to be the hardest. fight. in. the. game.
>>323180394
Not him but I shalt not fall for this shilling again, fuck that
>>323180629
A bit true in DaS, almost not at all true in DeS
Did not play the others
>>323180420
this is pretty interesting
Souls style combat has been called shit so many times in this thread when being compared to a game with gameplay that is VERY similar to hotkey mmos. Opinions and stuff
>>323174401
But why? I want to pick both as they are equally my GOTY
>>323174401
So is this like the hard choice of today? Because souls game are boring and the combat is meh and repetitive.
>>323180662
DeS was a great game but not ball-bus tingly difficult by any means. Also false King Allant is the hardest fight in the game. And I honestly do not believe you when you say you beat flamelurker first try without the purple flame shield but I'll just gloss over that. There are at least six bosses in BB that are more intense and challenging than anything in DD, opinions, I know, but honestly it's the truth. DD is easier and if you find nothing to enjoy in the gameplay, atmosphere, music, enemy design or (in the case of BB) badass weapon design then the series isn't for you, fine. But it is by no means a 'bad' series. In fact anyone who appreciates vidya as it used to be should find a lot to love within the souls series, particularly its esoteric bullshit. Anyway enjoy what you like, I have no desire to belittle your enjoyment, just trying to discuss some games
>>323178790
>>323179906
>it's explained why the characters are fuck ugly
where can I buy this game
>>323181245
Ok I did have purple shield but I felt it was irrelevant, if you have the balls to face him behind a pillar with thiefs ring he just forgets about you, and I genuinely did stumble on this myself because I always used thief ring
False king allant was harder for me specifically but still went down on third try
Old king doran fight was still harder than any boss in the game
It's funny because everyone shitting up one or the other haven't even played the one they're shit posting about.
That being said, I'd have to go with XCX. BB's combat and atmosphere are really good, but XCX has kept me hooked longer and I feel like there's more to the combat.
>>323181467
Yeah because it's not supposed to be a fair fight, but dat armor. You used a guide, I can tell. You will never have the joy of blindly stumbling around Boletaria and for that I am truly sorry. I bought DeS on day one and it reignited my love for vidya with its complete disregard for the player, excellent level design, and interesting and bizarre world. Using a guide in a souls game really defeats the whole point, it's the same reason you were running around DaS with a Zwei claiming everything is too easy. If you don't have an interest in exploring and suffering through the world without any help except the (potentially) misleading messages of your fellow undead this game is not for you. I am genuinely disappointed for you, I'm sorry
>>323177178
>bloodborne
>thought put into
HAHAHA.
Go ahead and try to argue about the deep themes you can find in BloodBorne. It's an edgy game for teenagers who've never read any Romantic novels. And you're probably going to be confused at the term romantic and not know it's referring to a literary movement.

Tough, but probably Bloodborne. I am super fucking impressed by Xenoblade though, not getting mentioned at all as a contender for GOTY lists is a massive injustice, it's SO good.
>>323177825
>bloodborne
>good writing
>>323181835
It's the bad ending, did you not expect the bad ending to be bad?Have you even played the game?
>>323181954
>it's okay, it's SUPPOSED to have shitty writing
>>323182114
What? Do you even know what I'm saying?You can choose whether or not to challenge Gerhman, and if you ate 3 umbilical chords you can fight the true final boss. But you probably haven't played the game so you don't know that,

Ayy lmao.

I liked playing Xenoblade a lot more than Bloodeborne.
Primarily because Xenoblade has a much wider variety of playstyles and much deeper exploration.
Bloodborne wasn't braindead but it was much much simpler than Xenoblades combat prerogative, which is heavy into RPG status elements, positioning, and several levels of timing that are just lacking severely in bloodborne.
sure in Bloodborne you're ment to dodge and punish at the right time. Occasionally give whatever piss-easy weapon you're weilding a status effect for certain bosses. But thats about it. And you certainly don't need to do that to succeed. Bloodborne has options but they're all useless and unexplored because theres only 2 or 3 good weapons and not enough to do with them to keep the slog of the game interesting. Give a monkey a controller and he'll eventually get good at BB.
Xenoblade its different. These. Mobs. Will. Drive. You... If you don't pay attention to how the combat works.
In bloodborne you're given a rich atmosphere which is a subjective plus... only If you're into lovecraftian wierdness and grimdark edginess. If you are, good shit, then BB has the perfect atmosphere for you.
If you're not into that atmosphere then its literally a hallway simulator. Aside from the fact that there isn't a "Set" or "supposed" route to beat the game, Theres little freedom in how you can actually beat it on your first runthrough. Go this way and fight these mobs then pick one of these ways to go. Once you're strong enough go the other way. Theres no real exploration in the game because theres no real overworld. Once you've seen a place once the only reason to go back is having died and slogging through it again to get where you were before.
Xenoblade is clearly different being open-world where each of the 5 world is level-paced and have different relevance to the story progression.
Xenoblades just more fun. Theres way more shit to do, and even though there's tons of gather/fetch quests.

forgot pic.
Fuckk I just finished bloodborne and dlc a week ago and now I'm like 15 mins away from getting my first skell in xeno. Fuck I love them both
>>323183053
Did you take that picture with a potato?
>>323183396
Yeah. Here's a picture of it.
>>323183396
S5. And I had to rescale it down to half its original size. This phone is dumb.
>>323182937
I like your post anon but I think your analysis of the combat is way off, they are both challenging for different reasons but there are more than 2-3 viable weapons in BB (especially since the DLC came out) and you overplay the importance of positions in XBX which is important for skill usage but give you no way to dodge, timing and reflexes are much more important than BB and for someone who has a PS4 you must not have gotten too far into BB if you're unironically calling it a hallway simulator. I'm about to sit down and play XBX right now (just finished story mission four, I think, you fight the ganglion chick with the ass) but only because I finished and am fully satisfied with BB. Both are excellent but BB combat will always be more satisfying to me, the first time I beat orphan of Kos my heart was beating through my chest and all I could do was throw my fist in the air like I just ran a goddamn marathon, XBX hasn't been able to match that yet
>>323181756
Not at all anon, nice backblast claiming the only way you can do good in souls is by using a guide, I'm honestly not even surprised because thats the only defense soulsfags resort to when someone claims he didnt have any trouble. Which is especially funny because DeS was the easiest, despite fanboys claiming it the hardest. Also extremely underwhelming outside of boletaria, 2-1, some parts of shrine of storms
As for the zweihander the only reason I ended up using was because my 1handed sword broke midway through blighttown and I was too lazy to backtrack for a fix, ended up liking it more than standard sword and board so I stuck with it
They're both objectively worse than the previous games in their series, so I'll stick with the good games.

Bloodborne but I honestly haven't played XBX as I sold my Wii U after Bayo 2.
I didn't like Xenoblade though, got bored of the monotonous quests and MMO combat (just not my thing, not calling it shit calm down).
Think I got up to just after getting Rikki or whatever it was called in XB. I was enjoying the story and characters, but story moments felt spread so thin I lost patience. Same shit happened wit Tales of Vesperia.
>>323176458
I wish mmos were as fun to play as xenoblade
>>323183732
Oh? You just stumbled upon the PFS even though you need PWWT to get it early on? And you went through Blighttown with an un-upgraded Zwei? Dude we were having a nice discussion why are you lying to me now?
>>323176608
But platinum made the best game ever for wiiu? And I'm not talking bout no bayo
>>323183827
>BB
>worse than DaS2
Okay buddy
Neither. I pick Armored Core instead.
>>323184090
No idea what PFS and PWWT are but I will surely explain if you elaborate
As for Zwei, yep, did quelag with standard zwei, 5th try or so, no idea why that is so fucking surprising, backtracked for a +3 on it and did demon ruins before figuring out I cant do the boss fight and backtracking to senns fortress
Where I stopped because meh, boring, will continue today
>>323184001
Honestly I agree with what you're saying and I find that XBX combat is vastly improved, and exploration is a lot more streamlined though the fetch quests still suck ass
>>323183053
Is that your PS4 below?
I can't tell with the quality
XCX
>>323184360
I'm gonna get another Wii U sometime in the future (only sold cause was moving apartment and need cash), and I'll definitely give XBX a chance, the mech stuff looks fun and reminds me of Xenogears.
>>323184347
Purple flame shield and pure white world tendency, maybe you don't need pure, just white, but to get that you still would have had to beat phalanx and tower knight without dying once in human form. My point is it's not something people really just stumble across, and if you do you'll just get incinerated by the dragon. Also that's surprising because with a weapon that hasn't been upgraded quelaag would take a decent while, to say nothing of the boulder Giants and stuff if you explored the base of Blighttown. Whatever, it doesn't matter, the game isn't for you and that's totally fine anon, different strokes
Wow I'm glad I'm not any of you people. Awful tastes and opinions all around
OVER THE RAINBOW
>>323174401
Mechs > everything else
>>323182937
>because theres only 2 or 3 good weapons
Typical Hunter's Axe/Ludwig shitter.
Every single weapon in BB is end game viable and all have distinct movesets. Actually try some different weapons and press more than the fucking R1 button to attack.
>>323184205
I love you anon.
>>323184767
>>323184205
Mein niggers.
>>323184726
there's literally no reason to use anything but the pizza cutter in PvE. weapon is fucking retard broken
>>323185107
The hammer sword is fucking nasty. and if you are having an issue. check your movments or upgrade paths. i constantly shit on people with ludfig's sword of shit. and pve was pretty easy into newgame +
>>323185107
Pizza is boring IMO. L2 is a literal meme on it and legit breaks PvE.
>>323179473
Bayonetta.
>>323184642
First off
>actually dying against phalanx
Nignog u wot?
Secondly
>pure white
Doubtfully doubtful, I dont even remember where I got purple shield, and I died twice at tower knight, but I had it for world 2, did I stumble into it is very probable because I have massive vidya OCD and I will try EVERYTHING
Again, doubt you needed pure white for it, the wiki says nothing about it, furthermore I never got pure white in boletaria
Moving on
>boulder giants
You can run past them
I explored every other part of blightown except the corner guarded by them and I didnt even have the ring that lets you run at full speed in water, came back for the boulder cunts after finishing quelag, its pretty standard, you just run around them, the worst part is those fucking mosquito things coming out of nowhere while you try to take a boulder giant
>quelag takes a while
Not that long, its easy to roll against it and coming from a roll the zwei has a great attack, I'd say if you are properly agressive and know when to pull back for the AOE attack its fairly standard fight
>different strokes
Not at all, I like the games, I just fucking hate the fanbase
I only did pick one. It was Bloodborne.
They are two completely different video games. Picking one over the other depends on either what you're in the mood for at the moment, your general preference in genres, or the fucking money you put down for the console it's exclusive for.
This thread was only made with console wars in mind.

Like everything on /v/ ever since off topic was abolished?
>>323186414
Oh so that thread I was in yesterday with people posting their Mario Maker levels was only made to spite people with a PS4?
Played both, XCX is way longer with better replay value.
Souls gameplay is just about played out.
>>323186506
yes
>>323177825
neither of them have good writing bloodborne manages to get away with it by having as little story as possible
>>323174401
Bloodborne. The graphics still aren't great but at least it doesn't have constant pop-in, also combat is a lot more fun.
>>323177134
Lmao it literally took me 40 hours to get a Skell. It's really worth the wait.

XBX has pop ins from it running on a underpowered console.
>>323174401
Bloodborne, obviously.
XCX, obviously.
BB was great but once I finished it J never looked at again which is disappointing considerng I've finished DeS about 9 times
Got XCX a month ago and still haven't finished it, so much to do
Bb 8/10
XCX 9/10
