Dark Souls On Demand forces me to be online.

I am unsure why it requires you to be online--mine does as well. My solution was to mark myself "offline" in m privacy settings so that I could play as if on disc.

I just purchased Dark Souls earlier today on the xbox on demand store. I, then, canceled the download for later on. But, when i went back to the download history, it didn't show Dark Souls on there. Any Ideas???????

I would like to be allowed into party chat while still being able to play Dark Souls online, however, this isn't because I'm trying to play Dark Souls with my friends it is simply because while they're playing some other game and I'm alone playing Dark Souls
I would like to be able to still have friendly banter with them.

In my case party chat wouldn't translate into me playing Dark Souls with 2 friends while talking, instead it would be me playing Dark Souls with random people as is intended but while still talking to my friends about completely unrelated things.

The way that Dark Souls is setup is brilliant in my opinion, it really forces the unspoken co-operation to overcome the trials one may face. Mind you I hate being invaded by Darkwraiths / Black Phantoms with huge stats/gear while I am about level 10 with
the starter gear and then when they crush me they make gestures that annoy me.

In the end I realize that most likely there will never be a form of party chat available while playing any form of "souls" game I would like there to be one for those of us who are social. All in all Dark Souls is a fantastic game and just fine the way it
is. I certainly hope for another.

Game updtaes are normally included with a demand version.

There is an update downloaded with Dark Souls but obviously not the latest one i would assume.

i hope you can switch off the forced pvp in Dark Souls as it was one of the biggest downsides that pretty much ruined my experience of the game.

i do not play Dark Souls for pvp and there are a few bosses that i cannot beat without co-op and i hope that enemies now attack other players who invade in Dark Souls 2.
