That fix for Bloodborne’s long load times is out now

And a new jazzed up loading screen!

Bloodborne is a pretty fantastic action game, but as I mentioned in my review, it had a few annoying issues at launch. My chief complaint was the long load times, accompanied by a boring black screen with the game’s logo. Today Patch 1.03 is out, and it reduces loading times by “5-15 seconds” per screen.

Wait! Those boring screens are getting a little more jazzed up as well, with item descriptions, a la past games. There’s also a fix for some elevators, a boss fight, and the rest mode problem. It took a while, but I’m just glad it’s here, since it’ll make future runs that much more enjoyable.
