Watch Bloodborne Take Over 40 Seconds to Reload After Player Death

Push Square: "Okay, nobody panic, but we've got footage of one of Bloodborne's loading screens, and it ain't pretty. One of our very own users, TOMBOY25, managed to get his hands on the game early, and he's uploaded some direct gameplay footage to YouTube straight from his PlayStation 4."

[lifeisgamesok]

In a game where the premise is high difficulty causing a good number of deaths I can see this annoying many people

[destroyerz1]

Just don't die over and over again, genius :)

[Palitera]

Or have a nice beer lying around you.

Or a smartphone. :P

Anyway, yeah, 40 seconds of a static screen can get boring. I can live with that though.

[destroyerz1]

It would be appropriate by the way LOL

[nX]

Loading times don't bother me in most games, I just check my phone or relax a bit in the meantime. Also your eyes will thank you as well if you take them off the screen for a few seconds.

[subtenko]

GTA V Online takes about 40 secs or more between jobs and heist.

[breakpad]

we dont care for reloading time as far as the game is excellent

[DatNJDom81]

I think that's why they have a day 1 patch. Just saying.

[amiga-man]

LOL 40 seconds, I remember having to wait ages for a game to load from tape, you youngsters don't know how lucky you are.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

LOL, those were the days Sniper

[SniperControl]

@amiga-man

I had this.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

If you ever left the room, it would crash while loading, lol, you had to sit there with your eyes glued to the screen while it loaded.

[GTgamer]

The funny thing is no one wants to consider the fact allot gamers have blooddbourne early and no one have complained or said anything bad about the load times and then you have the rare occurrence where a game takes longer to load at times than normally. basically allot of variables that no one considers they just find something to attack a game over then again this is the hate it before you play generation :/

[Kingthrash360]

Might load faster if he'd turn off Netflix YouTube and hill running in background or download the patch. ...yeah. worked for me.
Lol funny how the same people who say they love games hurt them most....smh

[decrypt]

What's ridiculous is how Sony fans are trying to spin this hahaha. What a disaster.

@below

Not at all, being stuck at a load screen for 40secs every time you die is horrible. Though its funny watching all of you defend it.

[darren_poolies]

@decrypt

A disaster lol, exaggerate much?

[Dirtnapstor]

As long as the load time is shorter than my lifespans! LOL

[Silly gameAr]

@ decrypt

It's even funnier watching you be a drama queen about it. It's not the end of the freaking world. A lot of you so called gamers on here have to be so negative or seem to take joy out of stuff like this.

Wow I have to wait a few seconds to get back in a game!!! Get over it.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

Am I the only one who thinks this could be fake?

Seems odd to me that the loading screen just has the name Bloodborne across it and that's it. Souls games usually had pictures of different characters during loading(or at least Demons Souls did). I would think the developers are more creative than that.

If it's real then it's not good development to make people stare at the same screen for 40 seconds I have to admit that. Developers these days are usually aware of this kinda of stuff.

If it's fake, then it's just pathetic what jealously will make fanboys do.

[Kingthrash360]

Let find out...I'll stream it die and time it
I'll be on twitch look up kingthrash titled BB

[destroyerz1]

Stream
http://www.twitch.tv/abonaf...

~8 seconds to loading. The loading time is variable, as in many other games.

[AliTheSnake1]

That Boar though

[Eonjay]

@Destroyerz

Thanks for the link... you just saved me a bunch of time reading a ton of haterade.

[Kingthrash360]

Well I just streamed it....42-45 seconds confermed...With about 10 witnesses.
I wasn't a believer of this as you can see from my comments...but after testing. ..Unfortunately it's as of now true...**test done with latest patch installed.**

[d3nworth1]

Not die in a Souls game? Easier said than done.

[MazzingerZ]

Always something to complain about....before it took minutes!! to load a web page....pressing Back button on the Browser by mistake was really a BIG mistake LOL...it's been a while since then....

Looking forward to this game...I really need to take it easy with this one to enjoy it...I will take some days off.

[Forn]

... Of course this "article" has the highest degree on the PS4 tab of N4G... Smh, don't people have anything better to do? Can't wait to play what will surely be my GotY in just a few more days.

[starchild]

Simply not dying is not so easy in these games. I died a lot in the Souls games. I'm getting Bloodborne either way, but I'm not going to say this isn't a concern for me. I dislike wasting my time on long loading screens. Hopefully a patch can improve them.

[Dee_91]

pre order canceled, ps4 in dumpster, moved to india,converted to buddhist monk.

[rocketpanda]

Wow, such insight. "Just" don't die. I guess you never played one of their games before!

[ChrisW]

Oh come on people! We know exactly what to do...

Go make bite-sized sandwiches.

[UltraNova]

Guys just got to play the game a bit at a friend's(before you ask- he works in an electronics store).

Yes the loading times are very variable from extremely fast ones to quite slow depending on the size of the area being loaded from what I've seen but nothing out of proportion. It took me 10 seconds to load after dying in all 5-10 cases....which leads us to the real point here>> difficulty...I played it for 30-45 mins and guys...oh shit...

I played Demons and the 1st Dark soul games and let me tell you we will die a lot...to clarify its not harder than demons, no you have a sense of power here which makes you overestimate your abilities which in turn backfires. I died several times before I realised that and yet somehow I was still going in guns blazing. The action is a lot faster than the other games.

Note: from what I've tasted just remember don't be on the offensive until you 'get it'! plan and evade...or you'll die. ALOT.

Edit: oh and the atmosphere is out of this world..and if you have a good audio system or headset crank it up !

Cant wait for my damn copy!

[OB1Biker]

Yea like its a prince of Persia game you got to jump back straight away without thinking /s

seriously this pushquare site went down with all its stealth trolls and whiners influencing the writers unfortunately

[Perjoss]

40 seconds loading time is not ideal, but a good game is a good game, I'm not going to miss out on a top quality title because of long loading times. I survived many games over the years that had long load times and although I would have preferred shorter load times I do not regret playing those games.

One particular franchise that springs to mind is the Civilization series, when you get further into a campaign it can take quite some time for the AI to make all its moves, the player has nothing to do during this time but the quality of the game overall more than makes up for this downtime.

Code Name STEAM is a more recent title on the 3DS that has long loads times but is still a great game and well worth playing.

[Jazz4108]

I have to agree. This is going to cause a lot of frustration as people are going to want to get back in there game to correct that mistake. Not wait 40 seconds. I hope they improve this with a patch since the game is gold. I have been looking forward to this as I have all the soul games on multiple systems.

[nitus10]

You are right this is only going to frustrate people who have an short attention span. In a game like this you just got killed and you have to start off where your main save is so I think a few seconds (less than a minute) to reflect on what you did wrong is not that bad.

Actually 40 seconds is enough time to get up and/or stretch then take a deep breath before getting back to the game. Your body and most likely your nerves will thank you for this. :-)

[Ch1d0r1]

I watched a stream yesterday, it was only taking 10-15 seconds. Even though the streamer died a ton of times, he said the game was awesome.

[OB1Biker]

40 s is probably the worse .. I saw streams with lot shorter load times and anyway I d kinda want to dry my sweating hands and try to think and take a breath (or bang my head against the wall lol)

[blockcoc]

@nitus10 That is a stupid statement. Some people will be putting thousands of hours into this game. Do you think people will not get frustrated then even if they have a long attention span? What about for PvP? If its anything like the souls games then a lot of matches will take less time than the 40 sec loading screen. So in the space of a half hour PvPing, you could spend half that on loading screens. Heres to hopiing that the patch will fix up those loading times though.

[littlezizu]

Dude, please check the detail of Day 1 patch it, one aspects of it is to reduce the load time.

[Dark11]

Yeah this is unacceptable.

[kraenk12]

you can't game for long, can you?!

[TheTwelve]

They have found their great flaw, ladies and gentlemen!!!

[WCxAlchemist]

The death screen looks exactly like Dark Souls.

Geez From software got lazy seems imo of what i have seen BB is really just a cut and paste of the soul series wow

[Loktai]

Or you know... part of the same overarching vision and a spiritual successor/gaiden to the souls games

[Lord_Sloth]

Darkstone laughs at your piddly, short load times! It takes so long to load that you have to check to make sure it didn't just freeze!

[Eonjay]

Darkstone!

[aragon]

Why is this a big deal ?game is not even out yet, the game will have a day 1 patch, settle down people this game is gonna be awesome , I've played a bit of the souls games they are good, bloodborne from what I've seen looks awesome because it seems like they have built upon the souls mechanics. Can't wait for this one

[ChronoJoe]

Very weird, when I played demo builds of this game they seemed to reload very quickly after death?

[Bobby Kotex]

How is that a question?

[nitus10]

If Bloodborne is anything like the Souls games from the developer "From Software" you can save anywhere in the game but when you die you have to go back to were your main save is and this may require you to spend over 30 minutes getting back to where you died in the first place.

In many ways people are spoiled after-all you could have a perma-death were you have to start from the beginning. Oh boy I an imagine the comments, yet some games did exactly that.

It is interesting and in some respects sad that many comments on the site (Push) that hosts the article seems to have degenerated into how this does not happen in PC gaming. How people conveniently forget.

[ChronoJoe]

@BobbyKotex
I guess it was a question because I was unsure and wondering if people had experienced the same thing.

Sorry if my liberal use of question marks offends you. :P

[styferion]

it's just from a single case, and early copy at that.

and not to mention day 1 patch has the exact description of reducing load times.

[jcnba28]

Agreed.

[Mr-Dude]

And we have The Order version 2 I mean Bloodborn to bitch about. 75% of the comments are from fanboys who don't even have a ps4,

-_-

[Eiyuuou]

Don't compare this to The Order please.

[kraenk12]

He has every right to compare it..It's mainly hater searching for the one big flaw to hate on.

[snoopgg]

Yeah, I know its a ps4 exclusive, but if it was on the xboxone, I wonder how long it would take to load after a death. Would any xbox fandboys have anything to say about that?

[Intentions]

Lol, Destiny load times are longer than that.

[KirbysDump]

What a load of cack

[OrangePowerz]

It purely depends on where you die. There are walkthrough videos out there where it shows that it takes like 10 seconds to load after dying.

[Helios86]

You'll get somewhat used to it, but it's still annoying. This is a problem when teleporting aswell not only death.
I just hope they optimize it somewhat.

[Kingdomcome247]

I think we should really be talking about that manbearpig thing. Wtf? It came out of nowhere lol.

[Gamer1982]

Oh god they really are looking for something to pick on arent they?

[Dynasty2021]

I love reading these pathetic justifications.

HHDs are to blame here, ie the hardware in the console. So it's the console's fault.

If console owners weren't cheap, we'd have an SSD inside the PS4 and Xbox One.

Wake up.

[GribbleGrunger]

This is news worthy? Who am I kidding, I knew it would be for some people.

[lelo2play]

A game where you die quite often, over 40 seconds to reload after player death... you don't think it's news worthy?

Imagine playing for a few hours and dying 100 times. That's 60+ min... staring at a black screen.

[MasterCornholio]

"Imagine playing for a few hours and dying 100 times. That's 60+ min... staring at a black screen."

So that's how you intend to reduce the 40 hours of gameplay in the game?

That's just sad.

[littlezizu]

Day 1 patch is said by developer will reduce load time as it improves performance.
Here is the detail
Version 1.01
- Add online functionality
- Game performance and stability improvements.
- Bug fixes

[Utalkin2me]

If you die 100 times in a few hours, you really don't need to be playing anyways. But there is a day 1 patch to help fix the load times.

[Palaven]

@littlezizu & Utalkin2me

So players without an internet connection are stuck with longer loading times? Is it unreasonable for people to expect an optimized game without needing the internet?

[averagejoe26]

No. Considering the day one patch notes explain reducing loading times. People don't do any research before posting.

[Patrick_pk44]

I am a fanboy of the Souls series, however, if you are defending load times then you're complexity delusional. Load times should not exist in this time and age, especially 40 seconds. I hope the game will be optimized further down to decrease this obnoxious load times.

[ChronoJoe]

For what it's worth you don't actually die that often in the Souls series, not in my experience anyway. While difficulty is always emphasized, because the game is quite slow paced, and methological, deaths are fairly infrequent.

Most people probably die a small handful of times per area, and once or twice per boss on average, but when you put it into perspective of other games, it's not that much greater.

I died 120 something times beating Killzone 2 on it's hardest difficulty. But only 50 something times beating Demon's Souls.

Crucially, you always get a good run each time you respawn. The game is hard but it's a difficulty that stems from many, uniquely challenging individual encounters with lots of enemies and scenarios, rather than having every individual encounter relentlessly challenging.

It was around an hour before I met my first death in Dark Souls 2. So these load times probably won't be that bad.

But I suppose it depends on how you play. I've watched my housemate run headlong into the same fight over and over against relatively basic enemies, and still lose. So I can see this being more of an issue for certain players than others.

[styferion]

It's not official copy, only 1 instance of evidence (not consecutive, persistent long loading time), and pre day 1 patch where it stated exactly that it'll reduce load times.

It's okay to exercise some caution but to bash it so proudly this early only shows that you're a trolling fanboy and your comment has no weight in it whatsoever.

[Christopher]

***So players without an internet connection are stuck with longer loading times? Is it unreasonable for people to expect an optimized game without needing the internet?***

Need help moving that goal post?

[MysticStrummer]

I watched some streams and didn't see any 40 second load times. Is that news worthy?

[kraenk12]

It's not because it doesn't happen everytime...only when you are in places far from your savepoint.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

I wanna see this replicated more than two times in a row. Last I checked the times vary. Wither way, if load times are your 'game breaker' get used to it. These consoles aren't powerhouses.

[uth11]

It's the new "unwritten rule". Don't worst, I don't think reviewers will deduct more than 3 points because of it! /s

[GribbleGrunger]

I don't think people realise what they're even looking at any more. Just stand back from this for one or two seconds and you'll see how this industry has literally become a parody of it's former self. We're watching episodes of The Simpsons played out every day in real time without even a hint of irony. I'm starting to feel embarrassed for the people who feel the need to take something from it. It's genuinely disheartening to watch so many people lowering themselves like this and taking cartoon-level information as if it's of worth.

We have people who are slicing the time it takes to finish a game into 'worth' = dollars. We have people adding up the load times and evaluating how long you are likely to be watching a blank screen during a 45 - 50 hour game. Do people not consider this insane?

I'm going to buy this game and enjoy this game.

[thegreatklemba]

its a seamless world 40s is not that bad when there are no other loading screens anywhere in the game but to go back to the hunters dream hub world. its loading the whole game people this is just so nuts that people will look for anything to complain about know adays

[GribbleGrunger]

@thegreatklemba:

Well we we're talking a while back trying to decide on what negative line the press would take with Bloodborne, and here we are with ... er ... 'loading times'. You gotta laugh really.

[garrettbobbyferguson]

That's a huge negative aspect. Especially when the developers intend for the player to die quite a bit. Spending most of your time waiting for a loading screen is not fun.

And I was surprised with how long P.T. took to load. Although the forty seconds isn't every time you die, that's just unacceptable. Compare to DaS1 where it takes you at most 5 seconds to respawn with the animation.

And really, the only parody exists in the form of the people who are actually okay with these things. I understand they're releasing a day one patch to allegedly fix it, but saying you're okay with this is just embarrassing.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

Whiners need an audience and a forum where their childishness will be accepted. This whiney minority complains about how graphics are rendered in blades of grass or how one rendered square/patch on screen is blurred when compared to 2048 other rendered squares/patches on screen. They whine about delays, they whine about free games not being released, and yes they whine about loading times for an upcoming PS4 exclusive even though the problem will be mitigated with a day one patch.

I say let them whine about nothing. Eventually, they will grow tired of whining and learn to enjoy playing video games for a while.

[SmielmaN]

That's why I barely comment on here anymore. It's just funny to read comments and think "these are actually ppl and not characters written to sound this ridiculous". Bubs up well said.

[styferion]

and that's why I never take any silly opinion articles nor trolling-but-acting-like-theyr e-smart comment seriously anymore nowadays.

I just see them and think "wow, I'm amazed people actually think they're convincing people writing this kind of things, I sure hope they get paid from something other than clicks for their effort or else it's just sad."

[alb1899]

I do considered it a problem, I mean, I saw how difficult this game is and is annoying just to think about it. With difficult bosses it will be like 30 seconds of gameplay and 40 of wait time........damm!
I saw a video with the maker playing it and he died like 10 times against a boss!
I can see now why it takes 40 hours to finish.
Why, why, why?
Why not to sell a product without flaws?
Didn't they know about it?

[Silly gameAr]

Yeah, this place has become a place full animosity, pettiness, and negativity and it seems like the people here would rather fight and over exaggerate small issues just make make games look bad, then enjoy the hobby that they're supposed to love.

There's no excitement when a game is about to release anymore because there's always someone looking to point out the negatives and ignoring anything positive. This has become a petty generation of "gamers."

[KwietStorm_BLM]

A 40 second wait between deaths on a new game in 2015. Yea, I'd say that's something that might concern some people.

[GribbleGrunger]

If it concerns you that much, don't buy the game. It really isn't a problem for me because the game looks stunning, plays brilliantly and is a lot of fun; they're my concerns when I consider buying a game. If loading is your main concerned then fine.

[alb1899]

GribbleGrnger
Why so mad?
Is too freaking much time and that is what we are talking about here so take it easy and buy your game but let everyone say what they feel about it......just like that it will be fix.

[joeorc]

That would be something if that was the freaking Normal time of wait for loading between each death, and its not the case In this game is it? I mean is every time your character dies all the time does it take 40 sec'. ? Because other players that are Happening to play this game has also shown to show that its not the case at all on every so freaking often is not the same thing as being = to every time.

but here we are on this forum, and some gamers are trying to make it seem or imply that is its all the time between each death in the game take 40 sec's, which other twitch streams show that its not the case at all but lets take one case an make it out to be the norm?

come on now..LMAO

[KwietStorm_BLM]

And there we go. If this, then don't buy the game. That typical response is reserved for ignorant people, not for you. It is my right to have valid complaints, and my pre-order isn't going to change. But I cannot and will not understand why people would act like this is not, at the VERY least, a valid concern. I take that back. It's a PlayStation exclusive, so I do understand why it's not a big deal around here. I still have the right to take issue with it.

[Ravenheartzero]

Let's actually wait for the game to release, the day 1 patch might decrease load times plus I'm seeing comments from people who have played the game (or claimed to) saying they don't remember it being that bad.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

IMO it isn't valid because you should know what you're getting into. Let me remind you. This is a ps4, not a gaming PC. Please keep that in mind. If this was on a high end PC and had these load times, THEN I would have a problem.

[WelkinCole]

Agree. Might be his PS4 or this is before the day one path?.

It is just stupid how people just jump on everything these days.

[PudgeyBurrito]

It's worthy to people with xboxe's cause this game is an exclusive and they need something to bitch about. Since they loose and sales and their console is inferior technically this is now their way to even the playing field.. Most PS4 users don't care cause we are to busy playing are video games.

[wsoutlaw87]

Ya man, this crap is way past ridiculous. People counting the load time that one player got on his early copy with out the patch that fixes this is just stupid. I have read countless other previews and seen demos, and none of them mentioned long load times. Why do so many people who aren't going to buy a game want to hate on it. Can you guys realize how stupid that is? It's embarrassing. Its also funny how people act like you will die once a minute in this game. No souls game has ever been like that and if you die that fast then get a different game.

[memots]

It's slowly killing the industry.

[Themba76]

it's like they want xbox one to overttake ps4 or somethin.

[wsoutlaw87]

Of course some people do. If that happened then there would be some that would want the xbo to overtake the ps4. I just don't get the point of trying to pick a part a game so you can find one issue and act like its a big deal. Does bloodborne or any other game failing really make so many people happy? Thats just childish and messed up. And to anyone pretending that they are genuinely concerned about this and that this ridiculousness is in anyway for a good reason, i feel sorry for you because you can't even be honest with your self.

[Bobby Kotex]

If you're not a Sony fanboy and use logic and reasoning, then yes this might be a cause for concern.

[Ch1d0r1]

Haha i also thought the generic load screens were going to bother some people. The game is awesome, meanwhile you die have a sip of water or something. Right?

[Genuine-User]

There's a day one patch that reportedly shortens the load-time.

[MasterCornholio]

I was watching some streams and I've noticed that the load times were longest after boss fights.

No idea why that is though.

[the_dark_one]

uh-oh you used logic and facts, this will wont bode well on some people

[PraxxtorCruel]

He said "reportedly".

[g-nome]

Then don't die. Anyway it's Bloodborne time.

[Number-Nine]

The "then don't die" comments are so foolish

[DafunkyRebel]

get good noob, there are people who have beaten Dark Souls without dying or dies less then a couple of times

[LogicStomper]

@rebeljoe

"There are people who have beaten dark souls without dying..."

Key words 'there are'. You are making an existential argument that there exists at least 2 people who have accomplished this. That does not mean they represent the entire population. Just because there was one person who finished it without dying does not mean everyone can do it.

With the same logic, cars don't need seatbelts and the world does not need medicine because there exists one person who hasn't died by one or the other.

Get your logic straight.

[shadowknight203]

Day one patch. People conplain about them, but at least if load times shorten we wont be waiting 40 sec! :) probably takes that long just to dload the patch

[DrumBeat]

This gives you some time to ponder, and analyze your game play, so you can figure out why you suck.

[slate91]

LOL

[dolphin_supreme]

The load time is ridiculous and probably the only thing I'm concerned about the game right now (still getting it), but at least it gives me time to google some tips and tricks for bosses. Still want that time to be shorter tho.

[NewAgeisHere]

Hahaaaa.Good one.

[Muzikguy]

And finally get a drink of that beer that's been getting warm.

[Chug]

Uh Oh, looks like people need something to complain about. As always.

[Lamboomington]

Doesn't have to be complaining.

The fact is if it takes that long, then it is going to cause a lot of frustration.

Having to wait close to a minute to respawn in a game where death is so common. If this game is anything like the Souls games in terms of difficulty, then a lot of people are going to get annoyed and rage, or simply switch it off (during the difficult parts)

However, I'm quite sure that this isn't actually the game's normal loading time. I bet that one just happened to be on the longer side. It's very unlikely it takes 40 seconds to load every time you die.

[uptownsoul]

@Lamboomington

You have to remember. This criticism (which I agree has validity to it) is coming off the heels of the completely bogus "It only has 5 weapons in the whole game" criticism. Which came behind a bogus "downgraded" criticism. So to some it looks like people are actively trying to find places in this game to take shots

But I agree that this issue, in and of itself, is a legit issue BUT I hear the day 1 patch addresses loading times (so lets hope thats true; solves this issue)

[nitus10]

Have you played a Souls game? Death and re-spawn at a main save (in this case "The Nexus" or a "Bonfire") can take many seconds. I have not counted the seconds since I normally stretch and reflect on what I have done wrong.

Anyway the solution to any game that has long load times after death is "Don't Die!". If you keep dying then maybe the game is too hard for you and you should consider an easier game.

People today are spoiled and probably don't remember games that forced you back to the beginning of the game on death although I am rather pleased that the Witcher 3 game has a "perma-death" option which I doubt few will ever try (well maybe once) and to be honest I very much doubt I will attempt this.

[Kivespussi]

Criticism =/= complaining

If this won't be fixed in the day 1 patch, it will frustrate a lot of people. 40 seconds is a *huge* amount of time to just wait and do nothing. Too long to be acceptable, not long enough to get coffee to stay up all night playing the game

[MRMagoo123]

Watch some streamers most ppl are loading in a few seconds such as 6 or 7 , I have yet to see anything close to 20 let alone 40.

[memots]

It will be mentioned in every review now and even people who don't usually do review will mention it. Like some other game length, or launch issue.

[Geekman]

At least it's shit that actually matters this time.

[weirdo]

the lengthy loads during my akumu run-through in evil within were infuriating! only because death was so frequent. spoils the fun.

[Jubez187]

To be honest, if I saw this video with 0 knowledge of bloodborne, i would think some company tried to make a rip of Demon's Souls

[KwietStorm_BLM]

So are you saying that's a good or a bad thing?

[MysticStrummer]

To be honest, your comment is confusing. What does it mean?

If I watched the next Call of Duty without knowing what it was, I'd think someone ripped off Call of Duty.

Does that mean anything to you?

This site gives me a headache sometimes.

[Jubez187]

Looks like a bootleg Demon's souls. Pretty much what I'm saying. If I saw the new CoD I would probably just assume it's the new CoD.

[Jazz4108]

Would love someone to post some information on the day one patch as this game I have preordered and yes this bothers me.

[Sensiblesteve]

thats really bad

[kstap33]

That sounds pretty crappy. Tough games need short load times after deaths. Hopefully there is no cutscene replays like some games... Those are the worst.

[Blackleg-sanji]

Well the press had to find something since the 40 hrs and less weapons thing didn't stick

[Spotie]

Stop freaking dying!

[JasonKCK]

That is long, but I have seen far worse loading screens.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

And it starts !

[masterfox]

Yeah I saw that in one of the streams, I knew right away that will cause some "respectable" gaming journalist to go ape sh@#it :D

[Ripsta7th]

And as always everyone on this site will be ok just because its ps4

[Blackleg-sanji]

And as always ppl with no intention of getting the game are the 1st ones here

[SmielmaN]

Lol. Awesome comment. Bubs up. Exactly right. Ppl bitching about a part of a game that they never had the intention of playing (because they can't/wont die to platform being released on). The fanboy war rages on...

[mhunterjr]

Hmm hopefully the day one patch addresses this... its not a game breaker, but would definitely be a major annoyance...

Why are some people pretending this wouldn't be a valid thing to complain about?

[MasterCornholio]

It is but it won't stop it from being a great game.

Anyways let's just wait until it comes out with the patch before coming to a conclusion.

[mhunterjr]

Well, I haven't seen the first person say they game will suck because of loading times... But there are already sarcastic comments suggesting this is part of some sort of conspiracy to trash ps4 games..

It's a valid complaint. Yet people are saying things like 'and so it begins' and 'the press had to find something' or 'people need something to complain about'

The cynism makes no sense. 40s is simply an annoying amount of time to wait after a death. Especially if death will likely occur fairly often. Hopefully it's fixed at launch.. We'll see...

[uptownsoul]

@ mhunterjr

You have to remember. This criticism (which I agree has validity to it) is coming off the heels of the completely bogus "It only has 5 weapons in the whole game" criticism. Which came behind a bogus "downgraded" criticism. So to some it looks like people are actively trying to find places in this game to take shots

But I agree that this issue, in and of itself, is a legit issue BUT I hear the day 1 patch addresses loading times (so lets hope thats true; solves this issue)

[Kivespussi]

Exactly what you're saying. This is something that can be looked over but hopefully it'll be patched. 40 seconds is a lot of time to just wait and look at the screen

[weirdo]

i suppose these long loads are nothing compared to the old days e.g. commodore 64!! 10 mins+

[kstap33]

I remember watching a friend load up games on the Commodore 64... We all waited happily in anticipation.

[OmegaShen]

Don't forget the online play is broken, can't even play with other players........ Oh wait, you're playing it without day one patch? Now wonder it takes long to load and lacks online.

Trolling at it sadness people.

[Kivespussi]

Games should be released complete. I can live with online being behind a day one patch. It doesn't hurt anyone. People able to play multiplayer obviously have a decent internet connection so they can easily download the patch. It's nothing but a small annoyance.

But people without internet connection shouldn't have to wait 40 seconds on loading screens and should have Chalice dungeons - A feature that has been advertised so much. The fact that it's missing from the disc is absurd.

Point being, day one patch shouldn't be necessary. People without reliable internet connections are the minority but still sucks for them to not get the full game

[OmegaShen]

You do know this game isn't release right? I agree games should be release without day one patch, but that isn't going to happen and we had to deal with it last gen.

I recall Chailice Dungeon being said it can be played but without online it won't be random.

[OrangePowerz]

And so it beginns.

[kurruptor]

As a PS4 owner, this would be unacceptable. That patch better reduce it significantly.

[VJGenova]

I mean, I don't think anything is going to deter me from buying this game. That said, 40 second load times are pretty annoying. Especially when my pc has a pci-e ssd that has 2-3 second load times for even the most demanding games.

[GamingTruth]

those games probably look like trash

[starchild]

Huh? He's obviously talking about a wide range of games on PC, including the most graphically advanced games. It's not like Bloodborne has the most cutting-edge visuals anyway. The Souls games were never about cutting edge graphics and neither is Bloodborne; they are about challenging, addictive, rewarding combat.

[VJGenova]

@GamingTruth

Do the following games look like trash?

1. The Evil Within
2. AC4BF
3. Wolfenstein: The New Order
4. Civilization: Beyond Earth
5. Lords of the Fallen

@Starchild

I agree. Bloodborne looks great but they're are better looking games out there. It's not like the ps4 is some magical box that can only run these games at this level. My computer would be valued at around $10k if I wanted to sell it. It better run games faster and better than a $350 ps4. That said, I am a brat when it comes to things because I do have one of the best pcs available.

That said, I would wait 2 minutes between deaths if I had too in order to play this game. Huge souls fan and I'll probably pick up SOTFS shortly after launch as well.

[slappy508]

I'm getting this game as well, I pre ordered the collector's edition but like you guys I'm used to the quicker PC loading times as thats my primary gaming Platform. I would have preferred a visual downgrade of sorts to have quicker loading times. I hope this can be fixed, if it can't I doubt I'd have the patience to complete the game

[maybelovehate]

Might be a deal breaker for me, since I typically die a lot : (

[dolphin_supreme]

That's what patches are for, honey. If this alone scares you from playing it, then you'd might be better off playing another type of game.

[MRMagoo123]

Like lego games where you can die as much as you want with no bad effects.

[RedDeadLB]

Seriously, this is a big deal?

[StarLord_Who]

I hate news like this, if you can't wait 40 seconds for something you must have a very bad problem.

Whenever i get my ass kicked in a game, i need more than 40 seconds to stop shouting "WHY GOD WHY!!!!"

[mhunterjr]

It wouldn't be bad if it happened every now and again. But if it happened often, it would get old quickly... Especially during difficult sections and when fighting bosses...

[q8kik]

Yea....we should start seeing bad news for GT7 soon....lol

And that "Uh oh" really sounded like:"we finally found something to bitch about".

[Blackleg-sanji]

Nah until dawn and ratchet and clank are next

[lemoncake]

40sec load time in this type of game that wants you to die and die often would be annoying, good thing they have apparently fixed it in the day one patch.

[yarbie1000]

Version 1.01
- Add online functionality
- Game performance and stability improvements.
- Bug fixes

Game Performance could be anything. We don't know if it'll change loading times

[Jayszen]

Some people just need to find something to complain about. There isn't much to whine about Bloodborne so now this is what they talk about, ignoring the fact that there will be a Day 1 patch which will most likely reduce the waiting time.

[assdan]

In the game play I watched most screens weren't that long.not overly concerned by this

[Lucreto]

40 seconds before the patch is okay, it gives me time to reflect on what I did wrong and how to better defend against the attacks.

[yarbie1000]

Reminds me of people saying they are glad the Order was short because they have busy lives and don't have time for long games lmao

[masa2009]

If it's okay, why do you say "before the patch"?
Either it's okay or not.
Sounds like fanboy excuse to me.

[Infernostew]

Well, there it is. A reason to nitpick this game.

40 second load times. 5/10 - IGN

[masa2009]

Hell has frozen over.
IGN has become identified with harsh reviews instead of ball sucking.

[PurpHerbison]

The game will still be fun but those loads times are unacceptable.

[Themba76]

lol funny bubble for you.

[mezati99]

lol so now we complain about loading screens? i swear to god this generation of gamers...FYI Dragon age Inquisition had 1 minutes leading screen. it didn't even got mention on forums and reviews in general

[Stapleface]

Mine had like 5 second loading screens. I certainly would have been complaining if that was the case. I will be getting this game day 1 so let's hope the patch helps.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

PRO TIP: Don't Die.

[Commodore]

Yep...this is what Call of Duty has done to this generation. No patience and instant respawn. Deal with it. The longer time gives you a chance to cooldown and rethink whatever failed strategy you had in the first place. It also makes you slow down and take your time so you don't go rushing into a place thinking you can kill everything (remind anyone of a certain game? ^^^^^^).

Try waiting 3-5 minutes in SOCOM 2 when you died/ got team killed. 40 seconds is nothing.

[kenshiro100]

Honestly, you'd think people would have patience these days.

[masa2009]

"The longer time gives you a chance to cooldown and rethink whatever failed strategy you had in the first place."

EPIC DAMAGE CONTROL!

[PurpHerbison]

Please don't compare an era of gaming that was so addicting that no amount of time waiting could of ever slowed you down. It was the same for Counter-Strike by the way. Die first in a 5 minute round? Go make a sandwich.

[sevilha82]

This....

[R3ddSaiyan]

I was in the Alpha .. Died tons of times ... Don't recall ever having to wait more then a few seconds ... Weird? Hopeful just a bug & that a patch will do away with this.

[filipakos]

its probably a way to think what you did wrong and not go and die again like you did before or take a break and relax :P

[Stapleface]

And so it begins. Fanboys defending something they would rip apart if this was a game exclusive to Microsoft.

edit: This is only an issue because of the type of game it is.

[slappy508]

You know the drill, as long as the graphics are great anything goes

[2pacalypsenow]

I can see it now

Great game but it takes 40 seconds to load

5/10....

[Skankinruby]

Haha omg i have never seen such pathetic levels of desperation. Even the title of the article is condescending. These journalists need to find another job cuz these articles lately are pathetic

[N8]

This might change with the first day patch.

[S2Killinit]

Look at all the salt. I guess thats what happens where there are no games on the other side. They rush to bash on what they cant have.

[Miacosa]

Maybe the day one patch will help to shorten the time.

[JonnyBigBoss]

I've installed the day one patch and it didn't change performance or loading times. It was 2.7 GB and unlocked the multiplayer components of the game.

[JonnyBigBoss]

I have the game and can confirm that the loading times are the worst thing about it. Every single loading time is at least 40 seconds. This makes dying so much more frustrating, and going back to town to level up and upgrade means you'll spend at least 1 minute 20 seconds loading.

Game is great, thankfully. I just wish the loading times weren't so bad.

[DigitalRaptor]

How many points are the load times going to shave off your review score, Jonny?

[Satyre28]

Im sorry but some of you Sony guys are a bit way into them for some reason and its honestly awful. Im a huge Sony guy also a MS guy i own both consoles but in a game as difficult as the souls series or in this case Bloodborne thats supposed to be incredibly difficult, a 40 second loading screen is insane. You guys really need to stop being fan boys and understand we are consumers. I love both MS and Sony i have both a PS4 and an X1 and i am the first person to criticize both when they make mistakes. (They are not paying me, they are a huge corporation that has one goal, and thats to make money)

[TwoForce]

Man, this is going to piss me off a bit. Goddammit, man !

[sevilha82]

So it beguins...The NIt Picking.

OH KNOWES::: 40 SEc WHATING...

I´ve finishied Skyrim,with all the loading that that game had,and it was still a masterpiece that people kept playing,open a door,loading screen,get out the house ,loading screen,fast travel loading screen,etc...

The things people use to try and diminuish another thing is beyond me.
As this was a real issue....sigh

[TheNemesis501]

is this the best you can do? pulling on the short strings now

[acemonkey]

the 40 secs that you have get up take a short walk up and down the hallway. get something to eat. or scream holy fucking shit that you just died.

[corroios]

Patch day one. This is not news. Try harder to find problems wiht the game.

Its sad how this is aproved on this site that some say is pro Sony, lol.

Pure clickbait.

[Relientk77]

And now people are hating on Bloodborne before it's even out, just like The Order...

[goldwyncq]

Being concerned is not the same as hating.

[kenshiro100]

Concerned over 40 seconds? Really?

[goldwyncq]

In a game being advertised where you will most likely die again and again, yes.

[Ck1x]

For the people defending the load times, (I'm not talking about the people who are stating that the game will be fixed with a day one patch) but the ones saying stuff like "well you just shouldn't die" I'll get up and reflect on what it is that I did wrong". Where does this type of thinking come from? When these consoles were announced wasn't this one of the many next-gen features that were trumpeted around about the games of this generation. Not taking anything away from this game at all, as I'm sure the game will be great and the day 1 patch should fix most of the issues hopefully. But let's stop defending stuff just for the sake of defending people...

[Clover904]

Oh no! It takes 40 seconds to load!

Just don't die. Problem solved.

Lol. We'll all be dying quite a bit, but I'm sure through patches and better optimization From Software will be able to reduce the loading time.

[sovkhan]

Lenght...Didn't work!!!

Weapons...Didn't work!!!

Load time...day one patch, as if it matters!!!

What's next???

[Clover904]

Lol!

[kingdom18]

I was just watching a stream (before it was taken down) and noticed that for this one person it was only around 17-20s when they died, tried to watch others, but of course before I could even watch them die some a** goes on to report all of the Bloodborne streams.

[turab]

its a big deal yes. Just like castelvinia sotn on psx. but at that I was a kid with a lot of spare time now that am older yes its an issue.

[antikbaka]

The following information is just a fact nad not an opinion, I let you to think over it yourselves.

Looked through 15-17 deaths in game (leaked video from people who managed to get it early). It seems that everytime you dime the game reload a new the whole location, i mean not just monsters position but everything, that's why it takes so long to process. the bigger the location, the longer it takes to load, e.g. starting hub, which is pretty small - 10 sec loading time. The very first battle location from 36 to 47 second.

It doen't matter wheter you teleport there for the first time or die there, the loading time is within this limits.

If futher places are bigger it can be longer, I assume.

[Hold_It]

I blame technology, people these days have become way too impatient and have to have everything now. 40 seconds isn't anything, be gone with your flamebait articles.

[thebudgetgamer]

Holy crap, forty seconds! We should burn things.

[shysun]

I can hear it now...because of load times we have to drop a great score to a 1/10! -_-

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

i dont care if god himself came down and said that if i played bloodborne im going straight to the hot place. nothing will stop me and my MANY deaths to come. BRING ON THE LOADING SCREEN OF DEATH!!!

[jc12]

Im trying, but I just cant get excited about this game. Looks like a basic, mindless hack n' slash game.

Oh no, I just failed to praise Bloodborne - a Sony exclusive...Let the downvoting of my comment commence. Haha

[masa2009]

I don't particularly like Bloodborne (mainly the camera), but to dismiss it as mindless is a bit succinct. It's more peculiar than that.

[CernaML]

I never played a Souls game, but after 2 hours with Bloodborne, it is downright ignorant to call it a hack n slash. It is far FAR from one. Go in the game with that mindset and you will never beat it. It takes patience, good timing and great planning.

Besides.. what exactly is wrong with hack n slash games? There are plenty of them on the market.

[jc12]

Thats my point, there are plenty of these games on the market. You run around with unrealistic, grossly oversized weapons and "hack and slash" your way through hordes of "monsters." Where have I seen this before?

Ok, I get it, the game is a challenge. But what else regarding the gameplay is fresh or innovative? As far as I can tell, nothing really.

Doesnt mean I wont try it, but to be honest, Im not particularly excited for its release.

[yuukiliu]

This is getting old. Every ps4 exclusive of any importance in the west is just getting picked on for no reason. I mean come on. western gaming journalism is embarrassing these days. Nothing is good enough anymore. Unless its halo, cod or Mario.

[ramza04]

From software found a new punishment for death! Glorious!

[Villain528]

Dont like. Dont Buy. Do like. Do Buy.

[PsylentKiller]

Are we sure this video is unedited? There is no loading symbol for the whole time until the last few seconds. Also, it says BloodBorne every time you die? Seems a bit lazy to me. Art work or hints or anything but the title of the game would have been better.

But all possible problems aside, this game looks amazing and I for one am very interested. i never got into the other souls games but I'm definitely going to give this one a fair chance and I have a feeling I'm going to like it. Something about the Victorian era, I think, has me intrigued.

[omarcomingyo]

That's too long, especially for a game as hard as this where you'll die often, maybe they'll patch it up

[iluvmaPS3]

Bait article. "Uh oh" lol

[masa2009]

This load time was actually longer than a playthrough of The Order: 1886.

[PurpHerbison]

I'm not even going to lie, this might be the first terrible thing I have heard. That is straight up like Dark Souls 2 PS3 load times. Unacceptable. Still purchasing my digital today though.

[jaixvx]

http://www.twitch.tv/abonaf...

It takes about 8 seconds in this live stream

[mkis007]

Everyone who is judging this based off 1 death and a pre day 1 patch is setting themselves up for crow.

[its_JEFF]

I can see it now... loading screen is too long 5/10 lol

In all seriousness, I hope this is addressed with the day 1 patch... cause u know there's gonna be one!

[poor_cus_of_games]

Maybe there was a smudge on the disc. I know that when any of my discs have a smudge it slows down loading.

[linkenski]

So they didn't improve at all since the alpha... that sucks! I hated the load times then and I was sure they were gonna improve it.

[CernaML]

My copy is patched and yeah the loading times are a bit long. But after a while I forget about them because it gives me a chance to sit and think about my death and how to overcome it.

Even with such a tight schedule I want to play this as much as possible. Never played a Souls game but now I know why its so addicting.

[Condemnedman]

Looks OK.

[ziggurcat]

watch desperate "journalists" downplay bloodborne 3 days before its release.

[ftrain]

I must be an idiot because I watched someone stream the game dying 20 times and the loads were like 5-8 seconds tops. The longer loads were when it had to load the whole world again because it ported back and it still wasn't 40 seconds.

[Duke19]

Definitely annoying but not a deal breaker for me. I wonder how long these screens were in Dark/Demon Souls?

If a patch can't shorten the time, I wonder if they can have a static screen of lore or something. Rather than just "Bloodborne"

[jznrpg]

I just installed a hybrid SSD yesterday, I wonder how much of a difference it will make for Bloodborne. Sometimes loading screens take longer than others, it could be a rarity other than the norm. Even if it isnt, some things are worth waiting for.

[katzura66]

Big deal. Just get better athe game and don't die, and if you are playing games why does time even matter, you obviously have nothing better to do.

[theFAYEsorceress]

mass effect 3 and destiny have load times that are on-par if not longer than this lolz

[DarXyde]

I was beginning to wonder when the negative articles would come in.

I guess it's SOMETHING to criticize. Still going to be a great time. If it annoys people that much, try not dying. I'm sure you'll find it rather effective.

[Sensiblesteve]

I thought the video had actually stopped couldn't believe how long it took

The game doesn't even look good I can't believe how hyped this is- devil may cry walks all over it

[bunfighterii]

Understand people aren't thrilled about it... but I don't really want to watch a 40 second loading screen on Youtube.

[PS4isKing_82]

Not a big deal. I'm sure a future patch will be released like most games these days.

[kingbain90]

Hopefully it won't be too hard then. Imagine getting stuck on a hard part where you die 10+ times, that alone is annoying combine with 40sec respawns! Rage quit lol

[ftrain]

That's not the respawn. Respawn is 5-8 seconds and I can't believe most people in here actually think the standard load time is anywhere close to 40 seconds. It's a flame bait article so fanboys can nitpick an amazing game and it's hilarious.

[Petebloodyonion]

Let's wait for the final product before screaming for it!
like some peoples mentioned above, there's a lot a variable at plays so let's hold our horses.

[Ch1d0r1]

My wallet is ready! The gaming media already complaining about the smallest of things. Im sure they can patch things up if needed.

[M4DE_IN_W4LE5]

People always find something to bitch about . Im sure Sony have done their best with this title . Get over it

[HateFueled]

Here we go again...

[agame914]

Well I have the game and I love it Can give to shits what these fuck tards think

[Immorals]

Dunno why people are complaining, it would take a lot longer than 40 seconds to find all the pieces of a controller!

[marioJP87]

Unacceptable and why is this game being hyped? It looks trash as hell. This is coming from a PS4 owner.

[windblowsagain]

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Lighting,textures,particles,e nemies,shaders are all of very decent quality.

[Agrim]

I guess they know at FROM at is going to be patched day one. Well I hope they do.

[urwifeminder]

Well this game seems like it will get the order hate , all PC,Xbox and Nintendo fans got their emails reminding them to attack this game on release hey well Sony fans attack everything seems fair. Been noticing all the other gaming communities coming together in unified hate against the Sony their fans , they have been hating so long payback time ha ha.

[gamerfan128]

A patch will fix loading times, load times are not an issue in the vast majority of PS4 games. Load times also vary by area and drive speed. Bloodborne will be a great Souls game that sells and reviews well.

The amount of blind hatred, lies, and ignorance in this article's comments is staggering. It once again proves n4g is swarming with sick waste that blindly hates Sony and Playstation.

No other platform gets this amount of Sick Lies, Ignorance, and Blind Hatred.

[Father__Merrin]

it's well overblown by users who won't have any new games to play!!! it really is as simple as that.

this game is looking incredible and looks like one of the must have games for action rpg fans, and that's wherever problem lays.

you see this is PS4 only and rightly so, so whilst playstation gamers have a great title to look forward to, u on the otherhand have a new title called "Zero"

as far as I'm concerned there's 3 choices here.....

1: play/enjoy bloodborne
2: do nothing, troll & pick nose etc
3: sift through steam sales, indiegala etc

[Tankbusta40]

Wow thats going to be annoying for many people.

[Flames76]

The game already looked slow and boring.Now 40 seconds to come back form dying.It just seems developers cant get anything going on the PS4 that can score over a 6.I say it now this game will hit a 6/10 on the average review.Its the order all over again and we all seen how that turned out with its score and low sales

[LordDhampire]

We will see friend

[mkis007]

Good luck with that prediction. Considering there are plenty of videos that have short 6 second load times.

[IrisHeart]

I'm getting this day one, yet this is bs and I hope they patch this.

[DafunkyRebel]

it depends because if you die in souls games you have to start over and takes minutes to go back to where you die and get your stuff. It would be a deal breaker if they make you do the same in Bloodborne but if say you respawn near the place you die instead then the 40 sec thing can be forgiven

[ThePresentIsAgift]

How is this even a story? Is it not a large and complex game?

The consoles are cheap for what they do, there will be little compromises here and there, such is life.

[akumous]

For a game like this forty seconds load time is extremely unacceptable. I am hoping the upcoming patch will remedied this issue but if doesn't I am still going to get this game regardless. I am dire need a new adventure for the next generation console and this is it.

[MegaSackman]

Hate. 6/10. Greatness awaits.

[LightDiego]

My game it's coming Monday.
Funny that the people who are complaining not even have a PS4, it's the same thing what happened with The Order. That's hilarious.

[Blueraven316]

Here come the x1 and wiiu fans lol. Most that are complaining aren't getting the game anyways

[Codewow]

So did they edit the video to make it seem longer?

[hit17388]

Ill be streaming the game in 10 minutes. Watch My stream here http://www.twitch.tv/hit173... Ill prove to see if the loading is really that long.

[Mister_G]

I don't want any spoilers (seen too much already), what's the result then? It is 40 secs?

[hit17388]

nope its 25 to 30. we had a lil countdown on the stream lol

[Killzoner99]

This is being blown WAY out of proportion. Most likely by people who don't own a PS4. I think it's a genius way to force the player to actually be good at the game. Instead of button mashing your way through the game you will have to use your skills to win.

[marloc_x]

You will definitely have time to think strategy between rounds..

[Dyldog69]

Perhaps the day 1 patch alleviates some of the unacceptable load time lengths. Furthermore has anybody verified this videos authenticity ? It could be x1 duchebag slander. You know how foolish those boys can be

[LordDhampire]

Sucks yeah, gonna keep me from buying, ha not even close

[Mister_G]

Day 1 patch will hopefully fix this, unless its a deliberate penalty for dying.

[Jaqen_Hghar]

Safe to say this isn't the norm. Everyone else who's played it has not said anything about this.

[Grown Folks Talk]

Anybody who died in Too Human isn't worried about this.

[dizeestl]

not great but u can solve this by simply not dying ;)

[guyman]

People will whine and bit** about anything these days

[angelusbrz]

did it have an article about cinematic loading screen on MCC ? they were as bad...

I let you counts.

[devrante]

there is a day one patch announced so they might fix this

[endzeitkind]

if you die once, youre gone... forever. so waiting 40 seconds to come back is good for me =)

[Chrisgamerguy]

thats about the same amount of loading u have to do in the fallout games, sometimes I would wait 40 seconds just to open a door... Lol

[Caffo01]

Lol what a joke of an article... If the loading time is the only thing you found to bash Bloodborne then it really must be an excellent game.

[Ben12]

Yep someone always has to find a negative point of a good game. Just don't play it, if that's what bothers you in a video game. wow load times really? Who cares.

[omarcomingyo]

Man A LOT of people defending and brushing aside the 40 second wait, would the same people complain if this page took 40 seconds to load? I think they would! Your love of Sony aside, 40 seconds is too long and comes down to bad programming imo

[Tedakin]

Only matters if you die a lot.

[bananaboats]

which people will be doing in this game, so yes a lot of gamers are gonna be pissed

[Tedakin]

Then it's gonna be a problem. I've never played the Dark Souls games, but I hear you die a ton, like over and over and over. If that's the case here with a 40 second load time, then yeah I agree that's going to be extremely frustrating.

[Bronxs15]

The excuses are rediculus. Like that guy that said your eyes will thank you for the 40 second break and u can look away from the screen. After he says he'll use that time to check his smart phone.

Sure buddy. Ur eyes would rather focus in the small screen.

Why can ppl just say yeah this sucks.

All this check ur phone during loading crap excuses just breaks the immersion in the game.

[bananaboats]

It's just excuses to defend something bad because they never want to believe that the console they picked isn't all that great

[angelusbrz]

does loading screen bother you in MCC between cinematics ? because they are as long as bloodborne one ...

of course not.

[Bronxs15]

I don't own a Xbox one. So no idea about the load times in that game. Why does it bother you?

[etownone]

This just sucks if true, why people defend it is beyond me.

Hopefully that day one patch fixes the load times.

[Twinblade]

Get a faster HDD.
