*Minor Spoilers* Ending E Bullcrap
That bullethell in the ending is sh*t.

I played it for 3 hours before learning that playing in Online mode allows people to help and practically make me invincible. Middle finger to the game for that one, practically ruined the ending for me. I actually kind of wished there wasn't a chance for a future in this damn world because of Yoko f*cking Taro's sh*tty Ending E gimmicks. Would've been better if playing solo was made more possible.

I don't understand people like you honestly. The whole game has this theme of 2 (or more) people helping each other, family, friends etc. Ending E is the essence of this theme, you can't do everything alone in life, if you have someone it's a lot easier. It's designed that you accept help and it's a very powerful moment.
But it can be just me...

I enjoyed that bit of the ending, really
Anyway, literally anything is better than getting ending e of drakengard

Why would you even play the game in offline mode, if you don't mind me asking?

That's one of the most powerful moments in the game, imho.
You aren't shown behaviour and emotions, you are living them in first person.

I myself spent about 30 minutes trying to get over it alone, then the game crashed (actually closed itself for some weird reason, like an alt f4) and when I did it again I took the help.

I'm still convinced it's entirely possible with enough patience, if that's what you want.

I played the game in offline mode and stll got help though. The only difference was that the reinforcements had generic names like John and Tim.

Ending E was powerful to me in a very personal way. However, I would love it if were posible to actually beat it solo.

Yoko Taro doesn't explicitly tell what his games mean or do. He leaves it up to the player for self-reflection on what it all it meant.

What you bring to the table as a player, desires, beliefs, values, patience, etc. is going to determine what you got out of the game.

Someone already mentioned you can get help in Offline mode. So I guess OP kept refusing help. Then blames game for his refusal. GG

It is possible. There are a few checkpoints along the ending, but even then you'll need a lot of patience and time.

On a side note, for people who can't play it online and don't have the patience, there's always cheat engine.

I was under the impression that there wasn't any checkpoints at the end where the difficulty ramps up extremely much? I got as far alone as to the final segment where suddenly THE HELL IS UNLEASHED and everything has a ton more HP, and, well... after dying over 10 times I finally threw in the towel.

I thought that as well, but no, there are more checkpoints. Also, after you die enough times, you get a damage boost.

Didnt' seem to me like there's any checkpoint after the first SQUARE ENIX "heavy firing" title.
I thought it was simply intended to make you skip the easy part and just keep trying on the actual challenge.

[edit]
Watched the video, I stand corrected.

OP is probably just a troll and a person with low cognitive ability to be able to understand the game. He is better off sticking to his COD or Dota stuff

For three hours you were asking yourself WHY the game asks you to go online? Good job.

Wowzers, yannie. The only comment that doesn't help and is in it's own way a troll comment. I don't play COD or Dota (or anything like it I think). I play games like Stories: Path of Destinies, Final Fantasy, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Warframe, Destiny, etc.

What I'm more angry about are people who don't have internet access. I like the idea of not being able to get through life on your own idea, but the fact that if you're someone without internet access, you're practically screwed and you can't access the final ending. That's what I'm kind of annoyed at.

That and I lost connection to the servers sometime during the game before I got to Ending E. I played the game with online mode just on.
