Bloodborne load times look to be a bit longer than hoped

Aren't we allowed to bring this issue up? It's a minor one, sure. But so many of you just make everyone who complains about it. I think it's something that's worth mentioning.
Just don't die then
Lol
I have never read polygon in my life?
Because of a loadtime that's at best, what, 5-10 seconds more than the average load in every other game, this game is now undercooked?
I need to stop reading this thread. Let's put it in a little perspective, please.

I haven't watched any streams, but how is the frame rate?

Actually, now that I think about it 1.01 sounds like a good idea for a day 1 patch regardless of size. Basically let's you know its essentially v1.0, but there's been something added.
And I like the artwork idea! I thought maybe they wouldn't show item descriptions either because there's not as many items as a Souls game or maybe because "mystery" seems to be a central theme of this game due to its Lovecraftian influence (notice there's no opening CGI thing that explains everything about the world) so adding descriptions of future items could ruin that somehow? But artwork would work nicely I think. That can't be too hard to add in, right?

And my uncle works at Nintendo.
If I recall there were people complaining about DS2's projected load times, but it certainly didn't blow up like this did. Of course there was the whole #YouLied shenanigans so maybe that just distracted from it.

If this is fixed on day one people will still remember this game for having the longest load times in recent memory. So don't fix it From, at least let people speak with the truth.
If the loading screen is the only thing that we can find to nitpick then this will almost certainly be the goty. I don't mind slightly longer loading screens in these games, gives you a minute to catch your breath and evaluate why you died in the first place. I appreciate the breather after a tough boss fight.
Dude they are not going to delay the game for load times. And it's not like the game is broken and unplayable. They should get some flack for the load times but not as mush as shipping broken day one games.
Ah yes, it's impossible for people to post here and know people in the industry. My apologies.

Alright. Guess we should wait until the game actually launches, then? I does seem weird to me that a day one patch would be released days before it launches. I'd assume they're still working on the game and fixing any issues reviewers might be coming across.
From the stream that went on a few days ago, even anything regarding loading screens took a while, just not dying..
Hopefully the day 1 patch fixes it up a bit.

And don't warp to another area.
And don't warp back to dream refuge.
And don't invade other people.
And don't do chalice dungeons.

You people are insane.
Give me a link.
How short? You don't even know.
I believe a GAF member that hasn't been banned yet more than some people who are having some assumptions. There are also other people who seem to believe him so I guess it can't hurt to join them.
He says he has some connecions to the BB dev team, he's also a longtime member so if he's wrong he'll get banned and I don't think he'd be playing with his account like that.
Also, calling it a day one patch when it's not released on release day is also a bit stupid
(IF you're right that is)Only time will learn.

So they said, but it changed absolutely nothing.
Seriously, there was no difference whatsoever.

I didn't think that sounded like A long time until I loaded the .webm
Christ it felt like forever. I actually clicked it to see if it paused. I guess that's how spoiled we have gotten in life. Instant gratification!

In a game where dying comes regularly, ludicrously long load times is kind of a big deal.

No. That's not right. Those numbers would be ridiculously high for deaths per playthrough. Anybody who has played the game would know that isn't even close. They simply took the total number of deaths across each platform and divided that by the number of players who finished the game. Read it again:
That's how they came up with numbers like 860 deaths for PS3 players, but only 421 for 360 players. Per playthrough deaths would never have that sort of ridiculous disparity, obviously. DSP had 283 deaths in his playthrough, ffs. The average gamer certainly is 3x worse than that clown.

They weren't a big deal in Demon's Souls or Dark Souls on the PS3.
Precisely.

Load times?
I don't really remember long load times in the game, only the initial one when you load the save.
30 seconds isn't ludicrous. You guys are crying over nothing.

Well, Skyrim load time were terrible (on 360) and I played that game for hundreds of hours. So I cant say I will be too put off by long times. HOWEVER, they better at least add the typical item discriptions and crap as people have been saying the will be patched in. Give me something to read at least. Mini game would be cool but it would never happen.
Easy, it is a problem for some, and not for others. Thats all fine, but both sides also have people that don't respect people with a different opinion than theirs and attack them, which in turn leads the other side to defend themselves and there you go, 750 posts. It is really hard for some to accept that this is a real problem for some, and not for others.

Docking points for something so minor seems really stupid to me. I could see MAYBE lowering the score 0.1 points, but any more than that and it'd be a huge exaggeration in my opinion.
What? Ha ha ha ha lol
pretty unstable, 30 at most. wouldnt buy

That's not an assumption, breh.
Here the 1.01 changelog listed by a guy who got the game early:
Exactly!

This is huge!
I wouldn't call it minor. If I'm playing a game, I don't want to use that downtime to browse the web or get a drink. I want to actually be playing.
I would say that these load times are unacceptable but maybe they don't even have a choice in the matter.

I think it's Sony policy now. Look at Driveclub, amazingly short load times and the team gets handed redundancies by Sony as a warning message.

Took the text right off of my keyboard. I wanted to put this but I didn't feel like writing it out on mobile.
People who don't break street date will need to download it as soon as they put the disc in on day 1?
TLoU ones are most certainly painful on MP, haven't replayed the SP though
