What are the Dark Souls loading screen hints?

Solution 1:

The hints are description texts of the items that you can find in the game, like weapons, armors, consumables etc. You can read those descriptions any time if you toggle the details of any item in your inventory .. well, for those that you have. There might be other hints, too, but I don't recall seeing anything else. You are not missing out on important gameplay tips or lore; you can find such information in other sources on the internet.

Solution 2:

I've compiled an album or screenshots of a youtube video that lists some of the hints:

(feel free to add more hints, post in text form with item images, or however you see it could be better)
