| I haven't been able to play Sekiro yet, but I'm confident that you should choose Bloodborne if you're mainly looking for longevity. The game has a multiplayer feature that makes it last hundreds of hours, and it also has a wide array of customization since you build your own character. |
 |
| Sekiro doesn't look too great, and Bloodborne is bad. Start at Demon's souls, skip Dark Souls 2, and end at Dark Souls 3. |
| I haven't played Sekiro yet, but i highly recommend playing Bloodborne first. Plus it'll be cheaper since it's been out for longer. |
fancyjasper said: I think your best bet would be Bloodborne. It's cheap right now and pretty fun for starters but I found the setting of Sekiro more interesting than Bloodborne and Dark Souls so take that for what it's worth lolI haven't played Sekiro yet, but i highly recommend playing Bloodborne first. Plus it'll be cheaper since it's been out for longer. |
| Haven't played Sekiro but Bloodborne is fantastic. Plus it's cheap and has multiplayer as others have said. I've heard Sekiro is harder but doesn't have as much replay value. |
| Sekiro has the better gameplay but man Bloodborne left a hole in my heart that kept me wanting more |
 |
| Bloodborne is better game overall. It has better level design, bosses and more balance in other departments while Sekiro strong point is just combat. Bloodborne > Dark Souls 3 > Dark Souls & Sekiro > Dark Souls 2 > Demon Souls |
| As someone who just spent 4 days cooped up in their room trying to finish Sekiro, Bloodborne is defintely better. Sekiro is much better at combat, but Bloodborne beats it in almost every aspect. In terms of difficulty, Sekiro definitely had it's moments, I'd lean more towards Sekiro. In terms of length, honestly about the same. I beat Bloodborne in about the same timeframe. Bloodborne has more bang for your buck considering you can buy the entire game for like $8 every PSN flash sale. |
 |
| I'm loving Sekiro and haven't played Bloodborne, you'll obviously be able to pick that up far cheaper though. |
 |
| Haven't finished Sekiro yet, but it has a better protagonist than any of the Souls games and Bloodborne. Character creation sucks. The faces are always ugly, the proportions are always screwed up and the characters are always doll-like mutes. I'm so glad I didn't have to mess with sliders for twenty minutes before I started Sekiro. |
| The thing with Sekiro is that, I don't know if anyone mentioned already or not, it basically only has one way to play; get up close, parry your enemies or use some ninjutsu to throw them off balance, attack and repeat until they die. That's 90% of the game aside from the times where you can use your tools to go around and sneak on the enemy or throw your rope so it allows for some verticality, but if you don't like this, the game is simply not for you. Souls games allow for different builds and more replayability. You want to be a mage and kill them at a distance? You want to wield two-handed weapons and blow them away with a single attack at the cost of having to time them better? You want to turtle around the enemy full on plate armor? You want to dual wield katanas and kill them fast enough? etc etc etc. And this is without mentioning music, art direction (which Nioh also beats since Yokai are A LOT more interesting than anything shown in this game), boss designs, atmosphere (the sense of dread in those games is much, much higher than in Sekiro)... I'm a fan of the Souls games (aside from Dark Souls 2 which was horrible, although I didn't really liked the first Dark Souls after Orstein and Smough either, aside from the DLC) so I was kinda disappointed with this new game in almost every aspect outside of the combat, and even that was already done better in a Souls clone of the same time period, so it feels like bothering with Sekiro after completing it unlike other the former games is a waste of time. Answering the thread, Bloodborne is infinitely superior to Sekiro because of the reasons I already mentioned better. It feels like it's not even close to me. |

| Not sure if i'm late since you already said you choose Sekiro but w/e. I'd say Sekiro, i do want to mention that Sekiro is hard as fuck. I've played all the souls games and i'm struggling alot playing Sekiro. Ofcourse it's different for everybody some might say Sekiro is easier than bloodbourne/dark souls, But i honestly think Sekiro is much harder than any other souls game especially a certain butterfly bitch. Bloodbourne does have more variety with different builds etc, but most casual players or people that just started playing these kind of games won't care for that anyway. |

| Bloodborne digital is at 20, go for Bloodborne first. |
| Definitely Bloodborne. I finished Sekiro yesterday and it was one of the best experience I've had for a long time but the problem with it is that it's very different from a Souls game. You haven't played any souls games prior so this part doesn't matter I suppose. Difficulty wise, sekiro is easier but because there's online in bloodborne, I would say they are equal in terms of difficulty. Now gameplay, sekiro is even more fast paced than bloodborne with you having to constantly attacking and countering your enemies, not to mention being able to swing around and jump all over the place. Atmosphere and design on the other hand, bloodborne takes the cake on this one. Like someone already said, Nioh's enemies design is even better than sekiro. If you want something to last then get bloodborne as there's multiplayer in that one for pvp whereas in sekiro it's a pure solo experience. I hope you can decide from these points I've made. |
| Bloodborne for the nostalgia Sekiro for the story and samurai action |
 |
| haven't played sekiro yet, but bloodborne has one of the most well put together settings and atmosphere that i've ever played through. from the initial trailers of sekiro, it seemed a little bit underwhelming in comparison. |
 Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places But we're trash, you and me We're the litter on the breeze We're the lovers on the streets Just trash, me and you It's in everything we do It's in everything we do |
| Bloodborne's aesthetic(mostly visually speaking but i'm lumping the atmosphere together as well) is more up my alley, haven't played Sekiro enough to form a strong enough opinion regarding its mechanics. |

| For me the best purchase would be Bloodborne, just 20 dollars. Super long game if u want the plat/100% |
