Same thing happened to me at Walmart about a year ago. I forget which game it was though. Looks like an employee training issue.

There it is, the one thing that trolls and haters will latch on to.
"long load times" is the new "there are only 6 weapons".

I had never heard of Walmart stocking a game early, so it didn't even cross my mind that the register might refuse it.

I will never understand why people think they can get away with that at Walmart. Its the system itself that doesnt let you.
Yep. It will just be a minor annoyance to me.

I assume the loading screens are still just a shot of the logo? Loading times/screen is the only disappointing thing I've seen about this game.
edit - sorry missed your post above.

Nothing really. It's about the only negative we could latch on to.
Ah well, I can live with it.
Yeah, someone didn't know they weren't supposed to put it on the shelf yet. I remember thinking "I'm finally going to be one of those people who luck out and get a game early" - only to have my hopes crushed at the cashier.

I doubt it would be hard to replace these Bloodborne loading screens with some random artworks. Surely they can do this?
Someone ask Shu.

I'm not a game programmer but I assure you it's not difficult, just an image asset swap.
They obviously don't see it as a problem if they couldn't be bothered to do so.

RIP Pieces Bloodborne (2014-2015) . The A-team have failed. Miyazaki is crying. We had a good run.

Well, at least we don't have to worry about this one anymore.
Guess I will just drink tea during the loading screens.
But random artworks of the location you're warping to would have been moodier.

Interesting, a
blood red moon, and some kind of statues that kind of look like that weird Dick monster from the Project Beast trailer. EDIT: Nope it's the Cthulhu Spider

thank you. that's all i need to hear. sucks about the load times but in the grand scheme of things it's going to matter little.
Prepare the defenses against this understandable complaint.

Doesn't really bother me though. Just wish they had more than just the name of the game (are you sure you're playing Bloodborne?) splayed on the screen.

Sony said it would offer performance imorovements, and with 1.0 impressions indicating that frame rate and IQ are already fine, that leaves load times as the only real issue to be solved.

How much are the loading screens? better not be like Dragon Age Inquisition because damm
The Xtortionist

Like 30-45 seconds for non-hub areas, even after dying. And they're just a picture of the game's logo.
Nah, I could deal with Demon's loading times after playing the two Dark games on PC, where loading times were ridiculously short, you can get used to it. But it still sucks.

Loading times from the stream that was posted here before:
From a location to the Dream Refuge took 10 seconds.
From the Dream Refuge back to the previous location took 48 seconds.
There was a 45 second loading time after dying.
I didn't see a lot of loading during the stream so these times may be longer than the norm.

I never actually saw how bad it was on consoles, I only remember the Giant Bomb quick look into the PC version when Vinny (IIRC?) mentioned that was his favorite "feature" of the PC version.
Maybe they can't do anything about loading times, but I'm sure they could come up with anything better than BLOODBORNE for the loading screens. Item descriptions would be nice, I never really got a chance to read them on PC, it was almost too fast.

I wonder how much a 7200rpm SSHD would improve the loading speed. I may even buy one if it's worth it.

I have one, will post my loading times once I get the game
I did notice significant improvements vs stock drive in some other games, so there is hope

Thats a lot of time with a static logo, DA: I loading times were a killer for me.
Krusenstern

Yeah, there are better ways to show of a loading screen. The other Souls games had either artwork or item descriptions. Staring almost a minute on the same logo everytime it loads is a bit dull.
Someone seriously tweet Shu about it. He's a fan of From's games too afterall.
