B&S is a more traditional, focused, and silly MMO packed with a linear level progression, instances and raids, and pvp with a 'TERA'-esque combat system. BDO is a more open ended, 'realistic' (yet fantasized) MMO that puts focus on trading, crafting, housing and open world events and PVP and has a more 'fighting game'-esque combat system.
Black Desert Online would be my preferred game.
That said the major differences between these games is your personal focus, and art style prefrence. Personally I prefer the more anime-esque visuals to BnS over the more realistic BDO.
But to break it down.
BnS is if -
You want intuitive combat where player skill actually matters, not how well you remembered your rotation.Â
World Tournament Level PvP (Yes they have a world tournament and we're being groomed for it as well.)
Well put together trinity-less dungeons, with raids on the way (per Team Bloodlust.)
A martial arts asian fantasy
Fairly balanced classes (the level 50 patch in Korea is some of the best class balancing I've seen in an MMO.)
BDO is if-
You want Open world sandbox
Housing
World PvP
Crafting
More traditional European Fantasy
both are pretty lackluster in lore. (BnS is slightly better, but only if you know the actual Korean story not the localized one.)
Both are lacking proper endgame, in the traditional sense (for now.)
Both have restrictions on classes (where BnS is race, BDO is gender locked on some.)
These games cater to two very different crowds of people (sure there is some overlap I'm sure.) Whether any of us feel one is better than the other, really lies in your own gaming preferences and what you want to do with your gaming time.
Me I'm a PvPer, and I enjoy fighting game level tournaments more so then world PvP zerg fests (BnS has World PvP too, but it's not the focus of their PvP). So BnS is more my thing.
Some of you care more about housing and crafting so BDO would be more your thing.Â
There's no wrong answer, it's just what you'd rather do for your leisure time.
Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.
