I like both, but The Witcher 3 is a more well rounded game, with great gameplay, deep narrative, fantastic graphics, interesting characters, etc. Bloodborne has great gameplay but is weak in most other areas, and I still think Dark Souls is a better example of that type of game.

I'm sure the platform holders will have good showings, but personally I'm more excited for 3rd party games and above all for VR.

I hate that crap either way. Microsoft and Sony buying up third party games or developers is bad for gamers in general.

I don't know if the new Tomb Raider will ever show up on PS4, but I'll be getting the PC version in any case. I really enjoyed the Tomb Raider reboot.

I do too. I still play the PC version of Tomb Raider from time to time. I really like it a lot. I hope the PC version of this new one won't be delayed too long.

I haven't used the Xbox One controller much, but I know that I prefer to use the Xbox 360 controller over the DS4 on my PC, even though I own and can use either controller as I please.

You must not have understood my point. I was responding to a particular comment and showing that it's easy to label something as crap and then attempt to dismiss other people's opinions by basically saying "you're opinion isn't valid because you like crap". It's pointless circular reasoning.

No, you like the Souls type combat because it's simplistic and repetitive pattern recognition, which your brain can handle. That doesn't make it better.

See, anyone can do that crap. Pulling the ol' "you're not good enough or smart enough to understand this epic game the way I do" is lame.

You make some really good points and I mostly agree with you.

I like the combat in both games, but it honestly seems like a lot of the hardcore Souls fanboys/cows are feeling very defensive and greatly exaggerating the quality of the Souls/Bloodborne type combat, at the same time trying very hard to downplay the Witcher 3's combat. Mechanically both systems work very well for the way the respective games are designed.

The Souls combat definitely feels slow and clunky, but it works for the way those games are designed.

Well, your "friend" either has serious vision problems or he's trying to mislead you.

The difference is fairly significant.

Shadow quality and rendering distance, foliage quality and quantity, foliage translucency and specularity rendering distance, texture quality...these are some of the readily apparent areas where the PC version is well ahead. Not to mention things like higher resolutions, downsampling, Hairworks, HBAO+ and higher framerates.
