I knew long loading times were going to damage the scores even though the day one patch makes it better. Hate when reviewers do that.

I don't understand. If you don't download a 2GB patch, you'll have to suffer these long loading times. Not everyone has internet at their house nor they're able to download 2GBs just like that. So yeah, that is a flaw. Doesn't necessarily make it a -4 points flaws, no, nothing like that. But a flaw nonetheless, for a game on which you'll be dying again, and again, and again.

I get what you're saying but It's not really a big deal for me and I don't like points being reduced unless it's actually because the gameplay/story and such could be better. If a day 1 patch fixes long load times as a reviewer I wouldn't deduct points because of that.

My hype thrusters are now through the roof!

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Meristation, spanish publication, gave Bloodborne a 9,3. It counts for metascore :)

It's not a big deal for the Gamespot guy, either. But it's something worth mentioning, patch or no patch. I doubt Kevin deducted a whole point of the score just because long loading times.
