Forums - Gaming - Bloodbourne= poor mans Ninja Gaiden and Nioh, prove me wrong.

meh, I tried to play the Ninja Gaiden games, but they are way too hard for me, so I quit early on and never tried again

Bloodborne is certainly easier and less technical than that and I appreciate it. Still, going from turtle-styling in DeS/DS to BB was quite tough, but it did work out for me and the only Boss that really game me trouble for many hours was defiled Amygdala.

I found Bloodborne to be really disappointing.  It seems like it is trying to be an action game using Dark Souls' mechanics.  Dark Souls' is an awesome RPG, but a terrible pure action game.  Then take all of the choices and freedom away from Dark Souls and you get Bloodborne.

Ninja Gaiden really is an action game.  Never played Nioh.  But if I wanted an action game, then Ninja Gaiden would be a better option.

Last reply before i return to work for a while......... When i finish Bloodborne, i'm going to play Dark Souls 3 next, looks like i'm going to end up doing the souls games in reverse order of their release. in terms of pace, which of the 4 souls games (Demon's souls included too of course) is shall i say.... speedier gameplay and tempo wise? were Demons Souls and Dark Souls 1 the pinnacle of this franchise?

In terms of speed of gameplay:

Souls 3>Souls 1>Demon>Souls 2

I played 2, than 3, than 1 and finally Demon.  Most everybody holds Demon and 1 as the pinnacle.  But I do not agree.  Souls 3 is easily the best.  I think Souls 1 and Demon have a bunch of nostalgia tied to them.  Most also hate 2, while it is my least favorite, I still loved it.  

In terms of quality:

3>1>Demon>2

Just my experience, with at least 100 hours into each.

I really loved Demons' Souls when it first came out, but I went back and played it years later and found it to be not nearly as good as the Dark Souls games.  It was a very important stepping stone, but I think all of the Dark Souls games are better.  Dark Souls 1 would probably be the best, but 2 and 3 are almost as good.

Not sure about pacing.  My gut would say Dark Souls 3, but it has been a while since I've played the first two.

Thanks for that, much appreciated, will play 3 soon, then 1 after, and demons/2 i will consider down the road.

Can't really compare Bloodborne to Ninja Gaiden, my man. Nioh, sure, but not Ninja Gaiden.

Nioh is the better game, I agree. More content, more depth, more replay value... But, I must say, Nioh probably wouldn't exist in it's current state without the Soulsborne games. There's a heavy, heavy influence there. It borrowed so much from them; the stamina system, recollecting souls, certain gameplay mechanics...

Very true regarding bloodborne inspiring Nioh, i do have a lot to thank the game for, but your points about Nioh been more in depth, having more content, replay value etc are absolutely spot on.

Comedy is unfortunately practically dead it todays toxic enviroment, such a shame really that people cant agree to disagree instead of been spiteful..... however, a lot of people on my profile page agree, Nioh is the better game, of course thats a matter of opinion, but quite a few happen to share that opinion, i cant wait for Nioh 2, its a must have, bloodborne 2? i'll wait and see.

I respect your opinion even though I find it unfair to compare to different kind of games. Bloodborn is not a hack n slash like Ninja Gaiden. It's an action RPG.. 

The beauty in games Iike Bloodborn, souls series... Etc is that each time you play the game, you find new ways to attack and vice and versa, the enemies never attacks you the same way twice.
