SOUR GRAPES: THE WEBSITE
Not me i pirated it
Nah when you open it up for the first time it says something like “improper activity detected, using offline mode.”
I imagine given enough time people will maybe learn how to use private servers or something but the online aspect is definitely disabled, I’m having to get through it with summons lol
Cool good to know. It’s kinda what I figured. It’s the first game I actually spent money on in forever because I wanted to play with my friend. If only the online worked anyway in the pirated version.
The only game I’ve found pirated with the online working is Jackbox games.
Question: I’ve never played a Souls game, but I am familiar with complaints about their difficulty. Are there no cheats or mods to make it easier?
There are a lot of in-game systems to keep the difficulty manageable.
The first, and most important, is that the game isn’t linear. If you’re having trouble beating a particular boss you can fuck off somewhere else and level up or find new gear then come back when you feel more prepared.
Second, almost every boss and area can be done co-op. You can “Summon” up to two other players to help you out beating a boss or clearing an area. The boss gets a little stronger, but 3 on 1 really improves your odds.
If you don’t want to use multiplayer there’s a system called spirit ashes that let’s you summon NPC AI to fight for you. Some of them are very powerful and can make fighting a boss much easier.
There are fairly frequent checkpoints in the game, so you’re rarely very far from a checkpoint (called a “Site of Grace” in game) if you die and need to run back to pick up your runes/xp points.
Is it challenging? Yes. Is it demanding? Yes. Are there bosses that will absolutely kick your ass twenty times in a row before you eke out a win on the 21st try? Definitely.
But it is also the easiest Soulsbourne game for players new to the series to get in to. The biggest things to remember going in are a.) You will die a lot and that’s a normal and expected part of gameplay and b.) You can always go somewhere else if you’re having trouble with a particular boss, or summon other players to help carry you through.
There’s co-op that makes most bosses a lot easier. You can summon up to two other players to help you with bosses. Also the open world aspect lets you leave a hard boss and get experience or better gear and come back later.
But no cheat codes or mods at all? Is that part of the draw of their games? Kinda sucks to buy a single player game with no hope of progressing past a difficult section.
