TLOU or Bloodborne, which is the better Sony game?

Haven't played TLOU, but Bloodborne is the #2 game of the Generation for me. I can't imagine it beating that.
Bloodborne and it ain't even close.
The Last Of Us might win if it was the soundtrack of the two (although Bloodborne is still no slouch there either).

I know people love Bloodborne here, but I certainly didn't expect to see some posts trying to make TLOU out to be just an average game.
BB is probably the better "pure" game, but I honestly had a hard time pushing myself to play it. I've never gotten terribly far.

Well obliviously those people are bad and their opinions are bad.
But it is. It has a nice story, characters and visuals. That's it. As a videogame, as in gameplay, it absolutely is mediocre.
There is a reason TLOU has better critical reception and more awards. The Era bubble is real on this one.
The gameplay is arguably the best thing about the game, hence one of the reasons why the MP was so revered and loved.
Bloodborne, no contest. TLOU is a very good cinematic adventure but I have no desire to play it over and over again whereas I have put hundreds of hours in BB. Purely as a game BB is just better.
I honestly hope that TLOU 2 features more complex gameplay but it probably won't.

Always impressed threads manage to have posts as stupid as this.
Lol what an argument. Might as well bring up the devs being on record that they were surprised with the criritcal reception because they weren't sure everything came together well in the end.

I wanna know what's so funny.
The same thing happened to me and Bloodborne for over a year, until it clicked.
I just don't like walk and talk sections all that much. And if I see one ladder or plank in TLOU2 I'm immediately uninstalling.
Nah, the gameplay is pretty meh overall.
Because one enemy type is called Clicker.
Yea that's what I said. Me not liking it bother you or something?
Pretty much. Think the age difference between the two makes the comparison a little unfair.
Dark Souls would be a better comparison (though obviously not a Sony game)
Man, this is absurd. I love Blooborne. It's my favorite of the Souls games and it does some really cool stuff.
But...
The answer is TLoU. I'm not really sure how that can be earnestly contested. It's a genre defining game. The fact that BB is winning is kind of weirding me out, tbh.

Bloodborne all the way for me. Absolutely love everything about the game and just hoping we get a sequel in the near future.
Admittedly though I barely got through the opening sequence for Last of Us since it dredged up a bunch of painful memories I'd rather not be reminded of.
Definitely going with the game I wanted to finish and I'm actively working on getting a Platinum for.

It's ok to have outlier opinions and a lack of patience. Some people probably think The Godfather or Shawshank Redemption are too slow as well.
At the end of the day, not everything has to be constant shoot shoot bang bang or hack slash hack slash, sometimes it's good to just slow things down and let it breath.
Hell, TLOU does those slow walk and talk moments better than most, since not only are you generally simultaneously scavenging for parts or supplies, but you're also soaking in the atmosphere, art, dialogue and fantastic character building.
I find a lot of people can't look past slower exposition and walking or soft puzzle segments, and others simply aren't very good at the combat, which then skews their notion of the gameplay as a whole.
The actual combat and encounters in TLoU are some of the most satisfying and well designed in the entire third person shooter genre. The controls, gunplay, feedback, level design, fluidity of animations and dynamism of approach options (guns, explosives, traps, stealth, contextual melee, bow, environmental objects, cover system, on the fly crafting etc) are unbelievably competent, polished and rewarding. I can't even take those who say the gameplay is bad in TLoU seriously.
Bloodborne is probably close to my favourite of all time. TLOU is also phenomenal but Bloodborne is one a whole other level.
I'm going to ignore most of your condescending post and just say that if someone lacks patience then they wouldn't enjoy Bloodborne either.It's ok to have outlier opinions and a lack of patience. Some people probably think The Godfather or Shawshank Redemption are too slow as well.

Bloodborne has far less exposition than TLOU, so that isn't necessarily true. When people say games like Bloodborne are more 'gameplay orientated', it's usually because those types of games have less exposition or less emphasis on narrative, characters, dialogue, acting, character building etc.
