The Witcher 3 is awesome! Best RPG I've played in a long long time.

Bloodborne is bad ass and insanely hard! Highly recommended.

Far Cry 4 would be a good pick up if you haven't already played it.

Shadows of Mordor is another one I would recommend.

Driveclub is an amazing racing experience and still one of the most gorgeous looking games on the system.

Yeah I was thinking about far cry 4 but I'll definitely check more in to these!

Does anyone use PS Now? I just can't see anyone paying that much for the ability to play old games, and seems really bad now that the Xbox One will be BC.

Damn, that's tough! I bought both on the same day and I'm loving both of them. I guess Witcher, simply because it's a big open world game, less linear. However Bloodborne is great too. Get one now and plan for the other down the road!

I tried the free trial out and for me it worked great! Then again I have an amazing interenet connection so it probably wouldn't work as well for everyone.

PS Now is a little different situation from the 360 backwards compatibility in that it's designed to work with multiple devices. Right now Sony is offering the PS Now service not just on PS3/PS4 but also on stand alone blu ray players, televisions, and eventually will come to tablets, mobile phones, etc.

THe problem with PS Now right now is price and game availability. Right now PS3 titles are all that's on the service. If Sony were to expand the available library to PS1 and PS2 titles and come up with a "buffet" style pricing structure like Netfilix it would be worth it IMO. However right now its' way too expensive for what's available.

Bloodborne all day long

Well, let me ask some questions first.

1. Do you want single player only? (Witcher 3) Or single player with the option of co-op and PvP? (Bloodborne)

2. Do you want a story line with tons of dialogue, branching decisions, and cut scenes? (Witcher 3) Or do you want to focus purely on gameplay/fighting monsters? (Bloodborne)

3. Do you want a higher level of repeatability? (Bloodborne) Or is one time through enough for you? (Witcher 3)

4. Do your require a tutorial? (Witcher 3) or do you prefer to figure things out on your own? (Bloodborne)

5. Do you prefer a more hack-n-slash approach and timed button presses somewhere similar to Assassin's Creed combat? (Witcher 3) or a more fluid approach that requires you to take note of your stamina and enemy moveset similar to Monster Hunter? (Bloodborne)

Like Brave said, you can't go wrong with either. Just note that Bloodborne is hard as balls, and I've never known anyone who invested a substantial amount of time and actually beat Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne that didn't feel like a million bucks and a badass after they beat them. Very few games give you that. Witcher is amazing too, but I haven't beat it to death yet.

Witcher 3 for the more casual experience. Bloodborne for old-school experience.

Now wait a minute. I have to take issue with you over this one. The Witcher 3 is a huge, expansive open world RPG with a main quest and tons of exploration and side-quests to complete. Even after you beat the main quest you can continue to play, explore, and complete all the side-quests of which there are tons. Also there is no cap to leveling up so you can play it as long as your heart desires. The way I see it, Bloodborne has way less replayability than Witcher, even with co-op.

I don't mean a continuation of quests after completing the main story line. I mean start a new character and be completely different your next play through - use a different class, weapon and armor set, magic or pure melee, be a member of different covenant, invade people, jolly cooperation, etc.

While not a gigantic open world on the Witcher's level, there are tons of sidequests and secrets to discover - the strategy guide is the same thickness as the Witcher's if that gives perspective.

Bloodborne has a level cap of 544, but it requires over 4.5 million experience points just to move from 543 to 544, so the likelihood of someone reaching it without exploits will take hundreds of hours. Not to mention NG++++++++++ with the game getting harder with every subsequent play through.

That's how I see repeatability at least, but I see what you mean.

We can end this debate now. Both Bloodborne and The Witcher 3 are exquisitely awesome games LOL!

Yeah, I get it will cover more than one device, but it also was put forth as an "answer" for BC on the PS4. Now that the XOne is going to have it, seems like that would be a pretty big knock against it that the only way to play PS3 games on the PS4 would be to pay a monthly fee.

The PS3 architecture is simply too exotic for the PS4 to emulate it. Streaming really was the only solution for BC. Now, one thing Sony COULD do is somehow allow free streaming of games you already own. That IS something they could offer as a solution. However the PS Now library is severely limited.

Keep in mind too that the BC for 360 titles is limited. It's not like you can just take any 360 game, pop it in, and start playing. Right now it's only select titles.

Also, and this is just me speaking, BC is nice early on in a console's life when it's still finding it's legs and you don't have much to play. However once all the cool new current gen games start rolling in I RARELY care about going back to my old games.

That's because they have to get the publisher's permission to allow the game. Everything I've read says any game that the publisher gives permission will work. There won't be any kind of technology hurdle, it's all due to licensing.
