Add the OPTION to Enable/Disable PAUSE button if playing offline.

[Michelangelo]

I´m interested in buying this game but the only thing that is keeping me away is that the game doesn´t allow the OPTION to have or not have a PAUSE in the game.

PLEASE ADD THAT SIMPLE FEATURE.

I know that some are pointing that the meaning is to have an online experience, and that a PAUSE button will go against this.
At least... LET THE OPTION to have it or not if playing offline.

Nah, man. You've got it all wrong.

If you want to pause the game, get to a safe place and quit to the menu for a bit. It's really not that hard.

[Lobo]

yeah, Billy, you can quit to the menu and the game saves your current position so you can play from that exactly spot when you're back :)

[Michelangelo]

Sure!
still I don´t see the point why not have the OPTION.
If you guys prefer that way great, I really prefer the instant PAUSE.... if the OPTION is added you could play your way, I could play mine...more games sold EVERYONE WINS :)

That's not how the game works, though.

Like it or not, you're not supposed to have a moment's rest in this game until you've earned it. For better or worse that's just how the developers executed their vision for the game. So you can't just wander carelessly into a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, pause the game to take a breath, then start playing again once you've collected yourself. You can pause the game AFTER you get yourself killed.

That's just the way it is and if it's that big of an issue for you, maybe this game isn't for you. I'm not trying to be elitist or protect my "artificial difficulty game", I'm just saying that if you get hung up on stuff like that then you aren't really getting it. On the other hand, if you give it a chance and try to adapt to the game rather than trying to adapt the game to yourself, you might find you really enjoy it for what it is.

It's not that I prefer it this way, it's just that I'm ok with not having a pause if something else makes up for it :3

Having the option to pause when in offline mode could be good, but my guess is that the devs didn't really want to add it since the game saves your current location and also the fact that this franchise in particular was made around players being always online (for possible invasions and such)

You must be new here. Pausing doesn't work because you can invaded, and if the game is anything like DS 2 invasions...you will get invaded offline as well, since you know, scripted invasion npc's...

I don't know how you suddenly ask for a change of a feature that has been one of the feature of the franchise since it was becoming a franchise.

It's like asking 3ds Max to have a pause feature while rendering, or windows while booting.

Ever heard of sitting at a bonfire? As far as I can tell you cannot be attacked or invaded while resting at a bonfire.

You can be. In DS1 the bonfire will go out and you will stand up and be invaded.

Actually, you will usually not aggro mobs while you're at a bonfire but you can most definitely be invaded.
