Even weak ass hyperbole pops up a couple people saying it should be on PC (and XBOX!) on this site. Didn't even need to look elsewhere!

Wrong thread linked? I see a lot of bashing in that thread, only comment I've seen talking about PC is this:
Which doesn't really prove your point....

Ctrl + F "PC"
Jesus the post above YOUR OWN POST in that thread says it'd be wise to bring it to PC too.
Again: weak ass hyperbole. Let's not act like "port begging" isn't including every Vanillaware game, Bayonetta 2/3, RE7 VR mode, Persona 5, Final Fantasy 16 and the plethora of games that were previously locked to specific hardware.

Seems you missed the context of the thread...
Nevertheless, let's end this discussion here to not derail the thread any further. You can continue privately if you want.

Perhaps.
For the record, I enjoyed BB. Maybe people absolutely adore the Victorian horror aesthetic. That doesn’t work for me so much; I far prefer the purgatory of traditional Souls games. I don’t think anything comes close to the undead burg; greatest zone in gaming history.
And I just can’t go back to the 30 fps. It’s so critical to the souls experience.

I have a hard time choosing one over the other.
Bloodborne has such great lore and setting and it feels more focused as an experience.
Elden Ring has build variety and depth, similar to Dark Souls only better.
Edit: If I have to choose I’ll go with Bloodborne. It simply trumps Elden Ring in terms of atmosphere and setting.

From playing the game smartarse.
Compared to Bloodborne / Sekiro the Bosses in Elden Ring are a step back and have got a hell of a lot of criticism both here and elsewhere.
So, I would ask which pile of sand have you been sticking your head into? Because these "awful takes" are fucking everywhere.

Bloodbornes Chalice dungeons are completely optional.
They also contain bosses that are NOT in the main game.

Well, Sekiro is better and gets nothing like the adulation.
While Elden Rings bosses deserve critique, it’s massively overblown by now (partly due to influential content creators). The main bosses are pretty fucking good and not worse than the ones in the other base From games. Big M is bullshit but other than that I had a lot of fun fighting all of them with big weapons and without summons. With fights like Mohg they actually reached a new high in terms of the complexity they can go for with simple “roll and slash” bosses because most of his moves require different timings. This leads to a really satisfying learning curve imo. Playing BB immediately after is eye opening as I once thought those bosses are relentless and complex. They are so simple compared to ERs main line up. Also, the spectacle and presentation is off the charts in Elden Ring - Radahn, Rykard, Placidusax. Insanely good.
Even the Fire Giant has grown on me as it challenges you to switch between horseback and on foot very quickly for his evading rolls and some of his attacks (i.e. baiting the explosion of his fire balls). There is some really, really good stuff in there, make no mistake.

I don't care about Playstation. Bloodborne is still a better game.

I played it in 2014 and again last year. It’s not nearly as good as those 3.
Sekiro - better combat and bosses
Ds1 - better level design and lore
Elden Ring - better everything
Bloodborne is on the same level as ds3 to me. Very good game but not something I want to play over and over. Limited build variety.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
While mechanically bosses are a step bsck from Sekiro, they are for sure a step forward when it comes to presentation and overall epicness. Radahn, Rennala and Rickard are top tier when it comes to presentation, nothing in their previous games comes close.

My memory of Rikard is a bit tainted by the easy stun lock I accidentally got him in after I died once, which meant I only had to deal with his later spammy stuff once because I had the victory in the bag after that. But in terms of gimmick bosses, he’s a huge step up from Dragon God and Bed of Chaos. Comparing to temporary powered up weapon bosses, he’s more interesting than Storm King and Yhorm. Then there’s character/lore of the boss, which is also good.
Rennala also reminds me of the Stag bosses, which have a great atmosphere.
Really, ER does have a lot of boss variety, it’s just sometimes overlooked in favour of catacomb repeats and non-boss bosses.

Malenia has to be like, best boss fight in gaming history.
Bloodborne is like one gigantic interconnected masterfully designed game world where things just get better and better until the game ends on the highest note yet. It also has a huge amount of hand crafted chalice dungeons with exclusive bosses and weapons that add to the story once you reach the bottom. That’s before the DLC.
Elden Ring has several masterfully designed legacy dungeons and a large number of good to great caves, catacombs etc and some amazing bosses that are unfortunately overused and kind of all mash together to feel the same because they made the game too long as is the case with literally every open world game. Elden Ring has unparalleled build variety but I miss the trick weapon and firearm combo giving a sort of class to your character. Elden Ring may have DLC we dunno yet.
Bloodborne has much better music than Elden Ring as well. ER being open world made the game so much different to everything else they’ve ever made. I personally like Bloodborne more but Elden Ring is still unmatched by nearly any game but Bloodborne is just this unforgettable thing that you experience in a more surprising fashion.

I disagree with one thing here. ER has the best music since Demon’s Souls. The Brian Eno-esque string ambient drones in most levels elevate the game. It’s super classy and gorgeous stuff. The bosses though… it’s what we’ve expected from From Software boss fights. But the ambient music even in the caves/dungeons is top of the game stuff.

The catacombs in ER is way more 'hand crafted' than the chalice dungeons.

Seriously. I voted for Bloodborne, but some of the criticisms of Elden Ring are just insane and hypocritical.

A lot of youtubers are critising it right now to get clicks, and a lot of people are parroting their opinions. As always.

Yes, even a friend yesterday sent me a Vice (!) article asking me “is Elden Ring really boring”?
Fasten your seatbelt for incoming cringe.

Not even close. In fact, no game out currently is better than Elden Ring.

You heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen. Games coming from the same director and dev team are not even close. NOT EVEN CLOSE. You’re a joke, dude.

I really enjoyed Bloodborne but that poll confirms that people here are fucking crazy. Elden Ring is a much better game.

Gameplay, scope, atmosphere, environments, better graphics, more of everything from Bloodborne.
My claim stands. Bloodborne compared to Elden Ring will give me much much less per dollar spent.

WHos winning and by how much.
I think Elden ring is great, but bloodborne is better
Elden Rings first half was the best game I’ve ever played. Once you get the mountaintops of the Giants I found the game to be an incredible slog. The difficulty spike from that point on just made the game tedious for me and I couldn’t wait to finish it. I also found it frustrating that no matter how much you levelled it didn’t seem to have any effect in the later stages of the game. Perhaps it’s due to the overall length and me being burnt out but the last 1/4 of the game really soured the experience for me.

Not one for the soulsborne much, but of the two I got to say Bloodborne. It has a better aesthetic to me and the experience seemed more focused

Well said. It’s a strange comparison other than being from the same company and even that isn’t 1to1.

I fucking despise Sony as a company, vastly prefer Microsoft, Nintendo, and Valve over Sony by hundreds of times. I believe Sony has a history of anti consumer practices, and I can't stand their hubris, their PR, their general attitude towards respecting historical purchases, or their fanboys.
Bloodborne is one of the best fucking games of all time dude, it's like in the top three. It's easily From Software's best game for my money; it's head and shoulders above the rest, and I'd venture so far as to say it's probably the best eldritch horror game of all time too. The love for Bloodborne is not just down to it being an exclusive, or at least it has nothing to do with why I love it so much, that's for damn sure.

I know it’s not the question, but I was walking my dog the other day and thinking to myself that DeS is literally one of the best games of all time. If not the best. World Tendency. The hub world. The Maiden in Black. Being able to tackle any world in any order. The music. The levels. The bosses. The game is just unbelievable.
So DeS is the answer to the question.
