where are they now? TW3 vs Bloodborne? the official count is still far away, the poll just drags on and on and on....

They like, but don't love the game. They liked it far more than TW1 and TW2.
Edge aren't exactly big fans of WRPGs in general. They tend to appreciate games that are strong mechanically, have good moment-to-moment gameplay, are at least somewhat innovative and/or are charming and just plain fun to actually play. Most WRPGs are not that great in those areas and feel clunky in the eyes of Edge's staff.

Which is hard to hold against them. Even though I love WC3 and its my second favorite game this year it definitely is clunky.
All these accolades and sales, Sony would be crazy not give us a Bloodborne sequel. But, From says Dark 3 is the last of that kind of game, so I don't know.
I love both Dark and Demon's, but there is something about the the world of Bloodborne that draws me to it. Characters like Ludwig and Laurence interest me far more than Biorr or even Artorias too.

Probably. They did put TW3 in their 200 best games ever special (which by the way is a superb read), somewhere in the thirties from the top of my head. Dark Souls was 1, Bloodborne 4, so yeah, they have some big Miyazaki fans in their writing team.
Not a bad thing. The man's a fantastic game designer. Looking forward to reading the write-up.
I think they see - as do I - Bloodborne as its own series.
Sony just has to give From Soft the offer they couldn't refuse

I haven't been tracking the results lately. And perhaps it's for the best, at least there will be an element of surprise there ;-)
Makes sense in my eyes! W3 is my favorite game of the year, but it totally makes sense that it's not some people's cup of tea.
I really love bloodborne, but the blood vial system and the decidedly same-y areas hold it back from being as good as the previous Dark Souls games. The faster combat keeps it fresh, though, so I get why people love it as much as they do.

I wouldnt have put bloodborn as GOTY since it performs poorly FPS wise. Otherwise though its gorgeous and a fantastic game, I'd buy a PC GOTY version with expansion content if they release it (already own the PS4 version)

I never really quite got that. Hemswick, Cainhurst, Nightmare Frontier, Forbidden Woods, I think there is a lot of variety, yet also a tremendous consistency.
Oh, and the DLC has the Fishing Hamlet, which I thought was really good and probably the most Lovecraftian of the bunch.
But then again, I find cosmic horror more interesting than dark fantasy period, so perhaps that has something to do with. I adore BB's lore.

If that is your caveat pretty much the only games that could be nominated would be:
-MGS5
-Halo 5
and ummm thats pretty much it.
DA:I I can understand but TLOU had excellent mechanics.

having a mediocre gameplay didnt stop TLOU or DA:I from winning tons of GOTYs , so you may be onto something.
Damn!
They got both bae #1 AND bae #2 up front on BOTH SIDES!!!! Shit!
They look so smug too!!!

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Sub cover is pretty much the same as last months official UK playstation subs cover.
Apart from the fact that TLOU has excellent gameplay and Inquisition was my Goty last year
I was more adressing the stupid use of that phrase concerning The Witcher 3 and the incredible inferiority complex that BB fan seems to have
Also that gold SFV cover is lovely, already have my copy pre-ordered on pc and can't wait for the launch next month
Yeah the story characters are best in Bloodborne, I was talking about in-game NPCs, Bloodborne didn't have a solair, or pretty much any NPC in Demon's
MGSV launched simultaneously on 5 different platforms and had very few issues. Its really rare to see any AAA game do that let alone a Japanese one. KojiPro deserves the multi format award. The game has so much content and so many layers of AI/Tech its actually crazy to see it not be full bugs etc. Konami needs to sell the fox engine or license it out to other developers. Its really great.
TLOU is the best 3rd person shooter of the last gen apart from Vanquish.
Nah, Uncharted 2 was better.
If people actually played the game the proper way, then there's no way people would saying this. ND should have had a recommended setting for a experienced gamer wanting the best experience for first time playing (Hard mode, listening mode off)
Yeah... maybe if you're playing TLoU on normal. TLoU destroys Uncharted 2 on the gameplay front. It's a much more strategic and hectic game. The kills are way more satisfying and there is much more replay value instead of just moving around the map and trying to get headshots all game like you would in Uncharted 2.
If you were talking about story... then HELL no, Uncharted 2 is not better.

Cracked concrete and smashed glass. Sort of like any shooter decal texture. I'm guessing Crackdown 3 but I could be way off.
Not the best TPS, but certainly not mediocre lol.
they should improve the enemies encounters in TLOU 2 tho.

Well based on that list, TW3 is apparently their second favorite WRPG of all time, only behind
Skyrim.
It's a decent TPS, but there is a ton of room for improvement for sure.

Edge didn't give either of those games their GotY. In 2013 they gave it to GTAV and in 2014 they gave it to Bayonetta 2. In 2012 when most critics gave their GotY to The Walking Dead, Edge gave theirs to Dishonored. They also gave their GotY to both Mario Galaxy games in years where most critics were giving their awards to Bioshock and RDR.

I'm not the biggest fan of GTA V, but other than that it show some fine taste.

The Last of Us is a great game, just not as good as UC2. I've had that argument before for pages upon pages, so I'd rather not go down that rabbit hole again.
At least give me your main points (briefly) on why you see Uncharted 2 as the better game (I love both games btw). Just curious..

Full disclosure: I've played neither The Witcher III nor Her Story, but my understanding is you roleplay as a detective and sift through a video database in order to understand a crime, which is arguably one hell of an immersive mechanic and more enjoyable than, say, lots of janky combat.
It's the more fluid movement and vertical level design.
EDIT: And hipfire, Tomb Raider can go to hell for excluding that, TLOU at least had a good melee system.

Fuck a Bloodborne. Fuck a Witcher 3.
Bring on Street Fighter V.

Thanks for reminding me how much I hated SFIV 2008 art. In motion, it looks good (intro), but the stills are so bad.

All the reasons you have given would completely turn TLoU into an Uncharted clone.
Fluid movement would destroy the pacing of TLoU. The movement was given heft so that the play would think before he moved. Hip fire again was again a gameplay decision so as to not turn the gunfights into the protagonist into a one man army.
Vertical gameplay would require the player to move like Drake/AC protag/Lara which would never fit in TLoU again for the same reasons. I'm forgetting the interview but Druckmann said all of this was for deliberate pacing in the SP campaign.
Anyway, to each is his own. You prefer UC 2 > TLoU and I the opposite haha...
THANK YOU

It does not specify. But I would guess it's an import preview and means nothing about Sega Europe's intentions.
i have no faith in the story mode but the online infrastructure better be super fleshed out
They said time and time again the story mode going an "unique" and they are "paying attention to their competitors", aka Namco, NRS and Arc. I am intrigued.
