My backlog and lack of time are limiting me to just one of these games. I may pick up the other later in the year when it is under $20. I'm leaning towards Bloodborne for no real reason other then the hype for it seems to be hitting me just a bit harder..

Anyone else getting just one of these two games? If so, which are you choosing and why?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I think Bloodborne has a much better chance of being a better game.
Getting both though.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Nah getting both here. No way I'm missing out on either.

 

[Carn82]

Well, if time is the limiting factor, you probably play through The Order a lot quicker.

 

[anexanhume]

Both. The Order should be a pretty short affair.

 

[kewlmyc]

Bloodborne

 

[thelastcrusader]

Nah getting both here. No way I'm missing out on either.

This.

 

[loaf of bread]

Getting both, they both look amazing, especially after the recent videos of The Order.

 

[bananafactory]

I'm getting both, but if I had to pick one it would be The Order. I still haven't finished Dark Souls 1 or 2 so i could always go back and play those for my fix if I absolutely had to. But I just need that new Bloodborne goodness!

The Order is gonna be a refreshing change of pace from all the open world stuff I've been playing lately (DAI, Mordor, Far Cry, etc). Last story driven cinematic game I played was Beyond (which I loved) so I'm exciting to just sit down and play through a kickass movie with some great visuals and atmosphere (and hopefully some great shooting too)

 

[jmaine_ph]

Both. I'm not missing out on either one.

 

[JumpJeff84]

I have a feeling that Bloodborne is gonna be a way better game

 

[FinalStageBoss]

I'm getting both, but if I had to choose I'd pick bloodborne cus Miyazaki.

 

[Reg]

Probably get more replay value out of Bloodborne.

 

[Stimpack]

Bloodborne does stand a better chance of being a good game. I don't really have any stock in The Order. I'll play it, but my hopes aren't high, and I won't be surprised if it turns out to be crap.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

One is a movie the other is a video game.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

I'm getting both, though if I had to choose I'd go with Bloodborne due to the setting appealing to me a bit more. I think both will be very good games.

 

[TM94]

Play the games you already have first.

 

[Floridian]

Both if u can. But If I was forced to choose only one out of the two I'd go with Bloodborne just because it'll have more content for me to do.

 

[Raoh]

Going to wait on 1886, maybe after the first price drop. Pre Ordering Bloodborne.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

getting both, but if i had to choose only one then it'd be bloodborne partly b/c of its longevity. if time constraints are a concern for you, then i'd go with the order.

 

[Brohan]

Bloodborne is a day 1 purchase for me.

The Order looks interesting but i'm gonna wait a bit to see what the general impressions are.

 

[sublimit]

I'm only getting Bloodborne. The Order doesn't interest me.Maybe i'll get it many years down the line when it's extremely cheap.Maybe.

 

[Lingitiz]

The Order is a cinematic shooter that should be a fun ride through once but potentially not much more than that. Bloodborne is designed for replayability and is a much safer and known quantity due to the pedigree of the developer. Go with BB.

[Alcoholikaust]

What Human wouldn't get both-or try to get both?

 

[Azdoune]

Both for me!

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Both, but if I had to choose one to buy first Bloodborne because it is a longer game and likely has more replay value with MP, New Game +

 

[Cloudy]

The Order. The characters, cinematics, lore and TPS gameplay are right up my alley

 

[BizzyBum]

 

[Steel]

Getting both, but if I were limited to just one I would go with Bloodborne without a second thought.

 

[ugh_the_boot]

I was a bit skeptical of The Order after finding out about all the QTE but the game is looking better and better and Ready at Dawn are a very competent studio.

As much as I would like to say Bloodborne (as i'm hoping it will be GOTY) I think if you have a huge backlog you wanna try and clear then The Order might be a better fit as I see it being a lot shorter and more shallow so you will be able to get through it much quicker and then move onto Bloodborne.

Oh yea...i'm getting both. Real starved for some good games atm.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Just Bloodborne for me. 1886 looks shallow on content. I'll wait for GAF impressions and pick it up on sale.

 

[Trey]

The Order 1886. If time is indeed a limiting factor, that game is better suited to your needs. You'll even be able to get most of your money back by trading it in when you're done.

 

[Weeaboosuke]

Nah getting both here. No way I'm missing out on either.

Same.

 

[FleckSplat]

Bloodborne. The gameplay appeals to me more, and it changes up the one area worth refreshing - the "shield solves everything" crutch that was getting tiresome from the Souls series.

The Order seems like a QTE-based cutscene fest with pretty graphics that will be over quickly. A fun novelty that's not as replayable as BB.

 

[Servbot24]

Bloodborne by far. If Souls games are any indication, you're going to get 100+ hours out of it.

Order will probably last 15 or so.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

The Order. The characters, cinematics, lore and TPS gameplay are right up my alley

After playing Bubsy 3D, other games just seem all stale and boring.

One is a movie the other is a video game.

This, if you have to choose, make sure you pick the right one...

 

[nib95]

I'll most probably end up getting both, but for now I only have The Order 1886 ordered. Purely because I haven't really played any solid next gen, narrative driven, cinematic third person shooters on the new systems yet, as there basically aren't any besides The Last of Us Remaster, so I'm itching for one. That and The Witcher 3 takes priority in March for me.

Having said that, I'm pretty confident Bloodborne will be a far better received game. But I've learned that my tastes differ greatly from those of many journalists, so that factor carries little weight in my purchase making decisions.


EDIT: Forgot The Witcher 3 was delayed to May, so both it is!

 

[Elginer]

Both and already paid off. Feels good mang.

 

[Pezus]

One is a movie the other is a video game.

I heard Bloodborne was a romantic comedy

 

[JawzPause]

Call of duty or Minecraft?

 

[blackflag]

The Order doesn't look like my kind of thing. Bloodborne day 1

 

[CMojicaAce]

I'll be getting both tbh.

Slightly OT, but it is extremely difficult staying out of that thread with the first 18 minutes of Bloodborne D:

 

[Loakum]

I'm getting the Collector's (Premium) Editions for both games. So it's both.

 

[Raw64life]

The Order is a wait and see for me. Bloodborne is a slam drunk.

 

[thewhitehawk]

Bloodborne for me. My interest in The Order dropped to zero once I discovered it was an on-rails cover shooter with some quicktime events.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Both, as most others have said thus far. It's going to be a good year!

 

[erpg]

One is a movie the other is a video game.

I was going to make a similar snide remark. Even if it isn't guaranteed that Bloodborne will be a "better" game, it will certainly be more of a game.

 

[djshauny]

The Order.
