it's not like i can force everyone else not to ring it, though

which is funny, because even if i could, i still wouldn't be happy

because invasions would still technically be part of the fucking game
and, no

can't have it

it's not like i can force everyone else not to ring it, though

and besides, you just said:

If you want to summon someone but not he invaded? An NPC appears in your area ringing the sinister beckoning bell. Kill that enemy and nobody can come through.

you'd have to do it if you wanted to summon somebody

so yes, you do have to prevent it, if that's how you want to play the game
and maybe that's how i'd want to play the game

so that's bullshit--i shouldn't have to do that to prevent getting invaded
and that's just kind of a nonsensical way to prevent invasions anyway, isn't it?

how about having a fucking "do you want to allow invasions? YES/NO" prompt
that's all they'd have to do--it still means that invasions are a part of the game, but it's better than having to kill an enemy

exactly

i'm not sure you understand just how little i'm able to tolerate this kind of stuff

it should not be in the game
i don't wanna have to take measures to prevent invasions--there should be nothing to prevent in the first place

i was only in for mewtwo, so

Logically speaking then couldn't you that by agreeing to play this game you give consent to the stuff it puts out?

You choose not to play it. You don't give your consent. The players that do? They give consent.

there's no contract

if the game had a disclaimer at the very beginning that read,
"WARNING: this is a game designed for depraved cunts, BY depraved cunts--if you don't like that, stop playing"

then maybe that would logically follow
it's not like i knew exactly what the game was gonna be like before i played it

I was just making a suggestion to you because I suddenly realized nobody has ever brought up the argument before that dark souls has offline mode.

i appreciate it, but don't worry, two people already have
aria and raw rugar

thanks for the offer, but until the option to invade players without their consent is removed entirely, as well as the ability to leave misleading messages, i will forever condemn this game

Nope.

Stop trying to get Verb to play a game that he no like Ariaaaaa

I'm not?

A LIKELY STORY

yeah, that tends to be the common accusation

i mean, if the way you justify getting fucked over is, "you can fuck them over, too!!!" then like...

two wrongs don't make a right, sort of thing

thats just one of the mechanics that makes Darksouls so enjoyable.

No

i just don't agree, sorry

fucking people over is never fun
if i did it to someone, i'd just feel bad

you know if you play as a hollow, you only get fucked over by the game and not other players right. Also once you lvl up your gear and player you can go to certain hotspots and invade other people who are waiting to do pvp.

i don't think i should have to do that

like, i'm glad that it gives you the option

and aria tells me that the game asks you upfront if you'd rather play offline in bloodborne, and that's a good thing

but my point is, you just shouldn't be able to fuck people over, at all, ever
it's a video game

you know if you play as a hollow, you only get fucked over by the game and not other players right. Also once you lvl up your gear and player you can go to certain hotspots and invade other people who are waiting to do pvp.

i don't think i should have to do that

not to mention, dark souls probably has one of the cuntiest fanbases everrr

Relevant question: when you people say that minimum wage should be a livable wage, do you mean I should be able to be fully employed at the minimum wage, own my own apartment, live by myself, and not have my income subsidized by welfare/ebt?

you should just be able to get by

if all that stuff is necessary for one to "get by", then yes
otherwise, not necessarily

have you fought the four kings in DS1? Would you consider that fake or real difficulty?

i had to stop playing dark souls at the tutorial because i realized that the game wasn't going to be my cup of tea
