These are pretty funny:
I just took the plunge and I will probably be like this tomorrow

Dont get the SDD part. I have a SSD in my ps4.

Eh, I'm playing through DS1 for the first time right now and I totally get what he's saying. It's definitely annoying to spend a few minutes getting to a boss fight, dying in 10 seconds, then spending another few minutes to get back. Luckily I'm playing on my PC so load times aren't bad, but if I had to deal with ~30 second load times too? I'd be mad.
I agree. It does sound like they are at least working on it though. Presumably it's because when you die you can be re-spawned quite far from the area where you actually died? Potentially needing to load a completely different area. Even then though, the load times ought to be shorter. Here's hoping they are reduced before the game releases here in the UK, because I have a feeling that as a From Software n00b, I'm going to be dying a lot.

From 2 sources: Kotaku and justpushstart (justpressplay?) both say it comes from the From themselves.

IIRC, Dan Stapleton doesn't like any of the Souls games, so that might go without saying.

Yep. "mega man had checkpoints before bosses!" Yeah, and ninja gaiden threw you back two full stages if you lost to jacquio, so what.

It's completely valid, it IS a game that forces you try again and again, and you will die. So, I imagine waiting through 40 second load times doesn't exactly help the sense of frustration.
The rest of his thoughts are seriously cracking me up though.
Yes, it's like Demons' Souls. If you started with Dark and never played Demons, you're in for a bit of an awakening.
I just didn't like having to grind when I got my ass kicked. But it did encourage me to try harder and not just cheese. So that's what they were going for, I guess.
The only thing I don't agree with Dan on are the save points before a boss. Save points are fairly generous, but they still force you to get good at going through an area AND fight the boss.

I hope he's eating french fries or something cause that much salt can't go to waste
Ok i'll bite what's the other one?
He green lit TLOU bro.
I like how the game punished messy exploration.
Too much warping in Dark Souls 2 killed the mood sometimes.You can just hop out of difficulty in some cases.
That sounds like a reasonable point of view that is not at all insane.

Driveclub. At least it is for me. Lol.

Now I know that Bloodborn is better than Dark Souls II.
So I don't think it matters if it has the boss or not but because of the sheer size of the map area. For instance, Yharnam is one of the longer load times in the game period but it's not all of Yharnam's teleport spots. Only certain ones. So the game renders a certain amount of the game and stops depending on the destination of your choice. My guess is that it's caching the map entirely and the GPU can't render fast enough.

This looks a lot like one of those "got super hammered, posted a bunch of stupid shit on Facebook, gonna feel real dumb the next day" sort of experiences. Lol

To some extent sure, I had a rough time of it my very first time with the Souls series (Demon's) and Dark Souls was kinda rough going the first few hours I played...but once you understand the gameplay mechanics you can largely bend the game to your will. Especially considering that these games are largely tactical in nature and don't really rely on reflexes.
Comparing this to something like Super Meat Boy, or even Hotline Miami difficulty wise is just ridiculous.
If the argument is that the Souls games are hard when you don't know what you're doing, well shit, just watch Metal Gear Scanlon and you'd think those games are at the level of Contra.

Dude, you're going to play a wonderful game in a few hours. Stay positive and don't get all negative when someone else doesn't like the game, because as long as you like it that's the only thing that matters.

I have so many vials in storage that when I die they are completely refilled. I've spent more time grinding for bloodstones or echoes than for health or bullets.

patrick's stream is great.
There's better examples out there than some lame attempt at forcing motion controls. Most of them ARE older though.Sadly, From isn't as consistent outside the Souls games.
That's good to hear, load times are my pet peeve (even more than framerate). At least this discussion has set my expectations and hopefully it won't bother me too much.
From's last Dark Souls II PS3 patch significantly improved load times so hopefully that sets the stage for a similar Bloodborne patch.

Eh ok,TLOU was a safe bet from the start.
I'm giving him props more for green lighting games such as this and Journey.
Poor load times is one of the main reasons I sold my PS3 version of Dark Souls II less than a week after I bought it.
Hopefully that patch works.

It'll end with an 89 metacritic most likely.
Well in one recent tweet right now he said he tried Dark souls and also hated it.
I kinda believe he does hate the soul games lol especially after this tweet:
