Playing Offline Only - Worth it?

[Hajduk]

Hey,

I am not really into online co-op.

Is this game worth playing only in offline mode, or are there some parts you need to get help through co-op, or is there essential content that you need to be online for?

(By "offline", I just mean playing solo. I will still have an internet connection)

Thanks!

Yes, it´s a great single player experience.

There's no reason not to play solo; the game is designed to be singal player. there are some ares which are much harder (namely the ringed city) but a good player should be able to get through the entire game by themselves. Also, even if you dont want to do co-op, if it's between summoning someone for a boss or quitting the game, definitely summon someone. i just don't recomend going off line because there are a lot of useful player messages available on the ground (there are also a lot of trolls, but what can you do). Regardless, play this game however you'll enjoy it the most, it's a great game and will be loads of fun either way.

Two points about off line:
1. You will die a lot but you will also learn a lot,and
2. A certain amount of co-op is achieved with the in game phantoms, particularly if you do the quests.
Make that three points....no kamakazie wannabes

I'm currently doing an "offline" playthrough on NG+. So far, it's been pretty fun, and i've enjoyed my interactions with some of the characters (and their respective questlines) far more than on my "online" playthroughs.

I think it is worth it, but I might just be an antisocial masochist.

Thanks for the replies. I went for it. Pretty low risk at 75% off anyway.

I play everything solo preferable but I still get invaded sometimes.

Playing online isn't for just everybody, but I can respect that. However, some things to keep in mind:

You may know about the invasion mechanics of the Dark Souls games, i.e. where an enemy player connects to your world as an enemy phantom (Only when you're embered/human,) and attempts to kill you for rewards. You won't be invaded randomly by other players while playing offline, but there are scripted invasions in the game, meaning you can be invaded by NPCs.

Additionally, you may know about the co-op mechanics - summoning a friendly player to help you. This functions offline as well, because while you cannot be summoned yourself on account of no players to connect to, you can summon NPCs to help you on your journey.

I hope this clears up everything for you.

Playing online has its advantages though.

You should at least finish the game on your own once, and then co-op with friends and whatnot.

If you play offline I won't be able to invade and kill u, not a good thing at all. Play online only!

Offline is the way to go. Invasions in DS were always just annoying bs anyway and invaders are just bad bad persons. In an already not so easy game they choose to ruin other people's progress. I don't even have words for the malicious mindset required to even consider invading somebody.
