I'd rather put that money on good use with a troony hooker rather than paying 50 bucks so little timmy can do his epic invasion when I'm crapping without toilet paper
I strongly believe making this decision puts me above other human beings, morally speaking
I know, right? You know what would be funny?
What if we give even more of our money to gaming companies lol!
Visualize the poorgays seething in your mind while you do so please
>play online >never get invaded >can never find any summon signs
h-hey, at least I could upboat the funny finger but hole comments haha no, I don't live in the middle of nowhere
You know you also need to use items that enable summons/invasions, right? ER doesn't even let you get invaded as a solo host unless you go out of your way to use the Taunter's Tongue, and DS3 puts solo embered hosts at the lowest priority for invasions. The older games don't have the same priority system but they're also older so there aren't a lot of invaders left in general.
PVP can be fun at times, and sometimes it's annoying. Co-op generally breaks the game (but you can break the game by summoning npcs instead of players too, or in Elden Ring you can summon the game's summons with the summoning bell or whatever).
I suggest you try to avoid playing co-op/summoning. As for PVP, you might enjoy some of it in DaS3 (every time I replayed it thoughout the years I've had invasions), but it's completely passable.
Demon souls and dark souls 1 are the only games that have cool gimmicks to warrant it's online component. You can get an extra flask if a player nearby kindled a bonfire, or hear the bell of awakening that other players are activating. Demon's souls online is even more involved, with it's world tendency mechanic i would say it's vital to play it online.
Now, the rest of the games are purely messages, bloodstains and pvp/co-op shit. They don't do any more gimmicks so I would say they play best offline with their worlds not being a cluttered mess of messages and so on.
it's the most innovative and interesting multiplayer experience in gaming
yes it's worth it
How poor are you?
a significant portion of americans don't have 50 bucks on hand
in the third world it's even worse

if you weren't poor you could do both
Maybe for Dark Souls 3, couldn't give half a shit about PvP in the rest
>It's online worth it?
No
>Should I just pirate?
Yes
I wonder how many of the self-proclaimed souls pvp hate posts are actually just poorgay pirate cope
99%
poor people are bitter

it's fun. as long the servers don't connect you to someone whos 20k miles away from you.
Nah you have to disable online play anyway in order to use fps unlock and higher fov mod
online is really fun but the main game in single player is what these games are really about, if you are unsure I would just pirate it first

Its online gimmick is purely to troll people that care for invasions.

Yes, the online component us essential to Souls games
ds3 greatsword meta was fun.
Playing with friends on release is fun. Bowing 30 times before dueling with autists who don't know that real PVP games exist is cringe and boring.
Wait for a steam sale. They go for pretty cheap.
