Bloodborne: 10 Legitimate Complaints Fans Can't Ignore

10. Getting Kicked To The Main Menu In Single-Player

This is more of a mild irritation, but still something that could probably be easily prevented. If you’re playing online in the single-player campaign, no co-op buddies or invaders, just the messengers and spectres, and the online goes down, you’re booted back to the main menu. 

This feels pretty needless, considering all that requires online is the messages and the spectres, surely there is a way to turn these features off quietly during gameplay without the need to send people back to the menu.

It can also do this if you try using the Beckoning Bell but the connection is lost. Why couldn’t it just display the message “Internet’s gone, carry on” instead of halting all the action? It’s understandable if the game wants to throw a hissy fit if the internet connection drops when you’re in someone else’s game, or if someone else is in your game, but having it happen when you’re merely searching for friends seems a tad obtuse.

Granted, this doesn’t happen often, but really it shouldn’t happen at all. A little notification letting players know that the internet is down is enough; there’s no need to stop the game (sometimes mid-fight) if you’re router is acting up. Fortunately, the game does a good job of saving your place when you load back in.
