But there's no repeat first playthrough, so you should make it count. Chaotic PvP, fight clubs and all that can be fought anytime, even nowadays you'll find many of those. That "satisfaction" you lost? You'll be able to get it again, in part, but you'll never get to know in full how it feels to beat the game, in your first playthrough, on your own. And your first playthrough only comes once. Of course, if you don't care about the experience, you could do what you want, but Soulsborne games are mainly about the experience. Playing with phantoms on your first playthrough is just straight up heresy imo. Going back to Bloodborne after years and playing offline felt great because it gave me a chance to fully map everything out in my head and explore all possible pathways without any assistance.īUT of course playin Elden Ring in offline mode off the bat means I will miss out on the chaotic PvP battles and hilarious bloodstains. Trying to find shortcuts, illusory walls, hidden items, hidden characters, being caught off guard by hidden enemies and so on.Įach time I play a souls game I naturally have played online, but I feel it negatively impacted my playthrough in some ways because I never really had the satisfaction of finding something myself, I'd always be led by messages on the ground or a bloodstain will reveal there's a hidden enemy up ahead.

When Elden Ring comes out, I'm leaning towards playing offline mode so I can discover everything for myself. I asked this a while back on the Elden Ring subreddit and want to get everyone's opinion here on the topic :) The community password is "GG", having a password will ignore all level and weapon restrictions, Details and Calculator for Restrictions hereĭemon's Souls Dark Souls Dark Souls 2 Bloodborne Summon Sign Dark Souls PVP Pump-a-rum DkS3 Builds Fashion Souls One Bros Dad Souls.Please read the full community rules and guidelines.
