Wow sounds kinda cool, but not really rewarding.

So don't play it online =p?


That would be a crime. My friend did that with Demon's Souls.

Why would that be a crime? I had a character for online playing and another for entirely offline play, to get the platinum trophy. 

It was nigh impossible to get the platinum trophy if you played online, as everytime that you logged in inside The Nexus your World Tendency would get rebooted to neutral (most of the times) or slightly leaning towards White. Rarely you would get to Pure Black tendency, outside the special event weeks that Atlus shifted the Tendencies to either side, because the server would take in account an average of every player's tendency.  

Plus, nothing sucks more than you trying to defeat Scirvir on NG 4plus and then a frigging BP comes into your game and backstabs you, just as you manage to defeat him. I was never a vengeful man, but I swear to you that I hunted that BP player for a month and he paid in dividends.


That was a fuck up on Atlus' part, because they were always messing with world tendancy.  You never had to deal with that in the Asian version.

Invasions were the reason I spent most of my time offline with Demon's Souls ...

You just answered it :)

 

That IS Demon Soul's, That is what makes THIS game THIS game. To disengage online is robbing Demons Souls of..... its Soul.

That Xxperience you just Xxplained.... Only Demon Souls.

Well, since i'm a completionist, Demon's Souls was only completely experienced by me when I managed to get the entire experience out of it, and that meant going offline

Whatever it was, it was really annoying >_<. I went through the Valley of Defilement without losing a single time and defeating every boss and the tendency didn't even touch White, it disheartened me to no end (this was my entire first time on Demon's Souls. I then learned about controlling your WT and CT offline).

The whole world tendancy thing made my old boss hate the game.  He started playing when Atlus was doing their Christmas white tendancy event, and the first thing he did was go off to the left of the bridge in 1-1.  He ran into Executioner Miralda, somehow managed to kill her after an hour of attacking and dodging, and finished off yelling "THIS SHIT IS STUPID."  He never played again.  =(

If he took an hour of attacking and dodging Miralda, even if he was a level 1 Wanderer, then something was terribly wrong  

I went to that experience as well, but I was a Level 15 Thief fighting BP Miralda on Pure Black. Now that was an insane fight xD.
