Which souls game has the best online in 2026I pirated all of them and played them offline without summoning, invading and stuff like thatbut now im thinking of buying one for the online features, which one should I get
Only the most recent game is really active. You already missed the peak of the "best" pvp in DS2 and 3.
>>741874187DS2 and DS3 were the peaksCompletely butchered it with Elden Ring, no more fight clubs
>>741874187DS1 invasions were fun through and through imo, had the most fun in that one doing fight clubs and invasions, duels felt more skillful and it felt like you could abuse gank squads easier if you were good enough. DS2 invasions were very very fun. DS3 was also nice until people started doing all the gay exploits like the machine gun greatbow stuff, bowcasting and infinite estus/instant estus, tumblebuffing, some cheesy weapons were added and honestly I got filtered hard as fuck by that point and the playerbase was unironically getting too good at the game for me to keep up. I didn't play much after ringed city. I was already burned out on souls games by the time ER released so I didn't do many invasions, most of them were just gankfests but I had a bit of fun invading in liurnia.
>>741874360Elden ring was a massive step back in online stuff.>No covenants>No solo invasion>No areas with special rules IE:swamp/forest/belltower>No boss invasions >cant even be outnumbered as the host if I wanted to do a invasion challenge run.>easy anti-cheat so I cannot write scripts to bypass limitations on online play.No fun allowed. I refunded it.
