Loading won't matter as the PS4 installs all disc based games on the HDD in full. The disc is only inserted as a check, like 360 discs were when installing was introduced.
The benefits of digital is no need to insert the disc when you wanna play. It will always be on there for Souls goodness.
No load time difference. Advantages are not having to swap disks, you're guatenrpteed to get it day 1 and if you're abroad it's probably cheaper and you get it earlier. Disadvantage is not being able to sell.
I imagine you can pick it up pretty easily just by playing it.
lol i forgot that thing exists
I don't mean it as a negative really, I just think it should be better-labeled. The confusion over it seems proof of that. Instead of saying "complete(d)" on one menu, I'm not sure why they can't mention a name denoting that the first part is installed, and ready to be played. Having to go to a separate menu which tells you that you aren't actually fully-installed just seems unnecessarily convoluted to me, but maybe I'm alone. It's again, not a deal-breaker (and it's good overall), I just think they could word it more accurately.

Tip for people - put your PS4 in standby mode, it downloads faster. Mine does at least.
the only negative is absolutely how dreadfully slow background downloading is handled on the PS4. On my PS4 it maxes at like 1MB/s while you are playing a game or using any other system resource. It won't use my bandwidth until I close all apps and let the console sit....or just go into rest mode which is btw the fastest way to download anything on the console. I monitor all the traffic on the PS4 from my router and it gives me steam levels of download speed when not being used, but its atrocious when doing any activity on the console.
yup, rest mode is the fastest way to download anything on the console. I just run it and monitor the usage by the router. Once it drops I know I can power my console back on.
or sitting in the information screen on a game.

Quick question, I haven't played any of the souls game, always wanted to but just never found a window in these past few years of school and work. I know a lot of the story was told via in game items and lots of people talking and sharing about it. And I know this isn't a sequel but...
for Bloodborne, am I going to be completely lost? I haven't seen any media or read anything about it on purpose but would it be better to go in completely blind or would I benefit from some back story to align my bearings and actually know what the hell I am doing?

Nope, there is nothing gained story wise from reading up on souls lore
I'm scared...I don't think I'm ready lol
You should go in blind. The backstory will fill in with bits and pieces.
It's also completely separate from the souls series.

so ready!
Is this a str, dex, or quality weapon? I'm thinking it's dex with a str requirement, that's my instinct, but I was just curious if anyone happens to actually know.
That's an interesting idea. Have to do it in quotes though so no lurkers.
Talk to the OP creator about it.

Just out of curiosity, how many hours is this away?
I'm in Australia, and the game doesn't come out here until the 25th. I have a US PSN account, so I'm tempted to buy it digitally if it means I can play on Tuesday night here. Hehe.
