is someone trying to turn this into /v/'s version of the /n/ crab meme or something

Can you play the Souls series without connecting online? I'm not an internet guy, so I don't wanna bother dealing with other human beings.

Are you honestly this retarded

Of course you fucking can

>>15807887

Yes. Some people will tell you to takes away from the experience, but personally I never found getting back stabbed by someone standing 15 feet in front of my repeatedly any fun and I never once could get any help with a boss.

>>15807889

What would I be missing besides notes scribbled by other players? Solely playing just singleplayer.

Remastered was made by a completely different team so of course nothing was improved. Dark Souls 2 was experimenting. Bloodborne was pretty good about it but it felt empty not to have a real choice on who you summon. Dark Souls 3 was perfectly fine with it's multiplayer functions. Except for the Blue Sentinels and Moon Knights.

Some advancement in certain covenants and therefor their rewards become harder to get. I think they're all still accessible but it ends up being more difficult or roundabout.

>Bloodborne was pretty good about it but it felt empty not to have a real choice on who you summon.

How so? Do you mean the Executioner vs. Vileblood thing?

>>15807928

No I mean the bell summons. Weren't they random? I haven't played in forever.

>>15807901

Invasions, aka people raiding you to fuck with you aka PvP

and potentially people willing to help you with bosses/areas, that's it

Oh, ok, thanks. The only things I knew about Souls games were that they had high difficulty and online PK stuff. That's about it. I didn't know you could play it offline. I thought it was like a Journey thing where interacting with others was a must.

>>15807942

>random

They're not exactly random but their range is finicky.

>>15807958

>I didn't know you could play it offline.

Not only that but there's a few situations where you want to play offline so NPC invasions will appear.

>>15807901

Not a single worthwhile thing.

>>15807887

just buy the fucking game, uch, i hate retards "oh i'll pirate it" yeah, good luck having fun without the online element

i recommend ds2 btw

<shit level design

lol, fuck you

best for build variety, ds3 is a mess and ds1 is decent i guess

>>15807861

>one and done

At least explain how you feel it was ruined. I think DeS/DaS1 were the peak of the Invasion mechanic the way it was intended, as in, actually invading niggers and trying to kill them in chaotic, sometimes vertical environments with traps and bridges to flip over. And then every sequel completely failed to offer even a tenth of that kind of level design while the community just turned into reddit duel faggotry without a fucking peep of complaint. Low IQ niggercattle can't appreciate manipulating environments, I guess. Like this fucking idiot >>15808627 >uch

I'd link the classic Catacombs bridge griefing vid if I could find it.

PvP was a cancer that did far more harm than good. It was neat at first, something pretty new to see with the invasions. Too much time and resources were spent on that component of the game when they could have used all of it on the PvE.

>4 (1) and done OPs with the same image and inane questions about Dark Souls in one day

Glad someone else noticed.
