question about load times. Is it just the initial load time when you are getting into the world that is bad? Or are the "death" load times just as bad. I would hate to have long load times every single time i die.

They're not great. 15-20 seconds after death maybe?

Everything except loading into the hub area.

I don't have the game but seen many streams it's death loads.

Loads Into areas are like 15-20 seconds and death is like 35-40.

From what I can gather.

also im seeing in the videos that its just a big BLOODBORNE logo and nothing else.

So this has to mean that it hasn't gotten its day one patch with all the optimizations and such right?

Got a 3 gig patch and load screens still look that way.

I'm playing with the 2,7GB patch installed and nothing has changed about the loading screen. There might be another patch before launch, but I doubt it.

 

[Tahnit]

well damn that is a long load time between death.

 

[robotzombie]

Is there any info on the greatsword yet?

Well maybe with the patch that enables online stuff? Doubtful but just a thought.

 

[razgriz417]

Really hope they can reduce load times in a future patch, watching the stream and the loads are pretty brutal

 

[F0rneus]

Considering that the strategy guide has to add 128 pages for the release day patch, I'd say yeah there will be a new patch.

^ You guys could be right. The info screens might be server based and you get the Bloodborne screen when playing offline.

Depends on how the engine works.

I remember last month Evolve getting a patch that reduced loading times.

Found a very funny bloodborne review on Twitter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMicfYlgjnU

 

[Fhtagn]

Ok since a lot of people seems to have got their hands on the game by now any thoughts or predictions about the reviews and how will bloodborne do in compare to DeS and DS and DS2? is there a chance for 90+ or is there some visible negatives that will prevent the game from getting 90+?

I'll say this much, I haven't even fought the first boss yet and I've covered more interconnected territory than the upper burg, lower burg and 1-1 of Boletaria combined, and the combat is so intense I've been saying "oh my god" and sighing with relief pretty regularly.

If this keeps up, it's way better than Dark Souls 2 (which is a game I enjoy plenty.)

 

[BumRush]

Thanks guys. I guess they wouldn't be as bad if there were pictures, lore, hints, etc. instead of the current load screen.

I keep getting a good feeling that another day one patch will address this...perhaps the threat of pre-release streamers had them exclude it to avoid spoilers; character and lore details could have been revealed like in Demon Souls

 

[Wozzer]

I'd say it's not, as it's exactly how I'd describe my experience so far. It's early but do far so great.

Wish I was permitted to stream, it was fun to share in others excitement as I explored the initial experience.

 

[Fhtagn]

I was totally fucking lost as hell and then suddenly realized how three places were linked together AND found a short cut back to a lantern.

I'm only a couple hours in but holy moley is it ever delivering.

Loading times are lolbad, really, you have to say this although everything else is omfgawesome...

 

[takoyaki]

So far I'm with him. At least 85+ seems very likely. We don't know if online works properly and there could be less level variety and/or replay value than in DS2. Right now, the only negative I can see are the loadtimes and that's not that big of an issue.

 

[badnewsbeers]

Can anyone confirm if the world is as rich and ethereal as lordran? I love the subtle suggestion of plot and the richness of the environments. Would love to see that continue.

8.5 Metacritic? So a 7- from Polygon.

Weird.. I tried the lever on the lower level, didn't work - rode it up, accidentally sent it back down when I stepped out and died somewhere. When I went back to it, the lever was still broken.. Maybe it didn't trigger because I sent it back down?

 

[Paxem]

Don't remind me of this. Finished DS and DS2 and never encountered an area annoying in the same way like this

 

[Derpyduck]

They're not great. 15-20 seconds after death maybe?

It's more like 35-50 per death unfortunately.
