(This review is specifically for playing this game in multiplayer/co-op)

Dark souls 3 is one of my favorite games of all time, and playing through it solo is a very engaging experince. Same cannot be said about its online mode.

I dont know why this game gets a lot of traffic for online specifically. I played through this run with my good friend Hilda and, while i did have a fantastic time playing with her, its very obvious that this game is not really meant to be played with anyone. Bosses feel unsatisfying most of the time, as its attention is split between you and the other player, and it never feels like the game handles 2 competent players together well. The areas outside that however are all fun and games, and i wish there were levels specifically made for playing with a friend in mind cause it was a blast.

Till you get invaded. Everyone already knows this but what is wrong with dark souls players? Why're they so mean and needlessly aggressive? Hilda makes everything entertaining but even her classic and iconic Frogger build couldnt get us out of some of these encounters. I think we met 3 whole players who were nice to us throughout the run but the rest had a stick up their ass for no reason. One guy was pretending to be Hitler and another guy, aptly named "you suck", invaded maybe 3000 times and proceeded to kill us with a glicthed gael crossbow. Even normal encounters take forever because i do shit damage and everyone else has rigged themselves out to kill anything that moves in one hit. Not my idea of fun when im playing with someone.

This is my first time playing ds3 online so i guess im just kind of confused why everyone loves the multiplayer so much, cause dueling is maybe the worst experince in the world and the game doesnt bend enough for it to be a seemless co-op experience.

Ill never forget Frogger's sacrifice.... killing Midir all by herself for me...naked, high heels, boobs OUT, greatsword in hand..... what would dark souls do without such an idol.
