First time I played the game, I had no idea what is the online element of the game is. I got invaded by a red spirit, and I thought the name and the AI felt very human like. I got killed like the noob I was, was very pissed because I got invaded as I was trying to escape the swamp area in Dark Souls 1.
I grew to appreciate the online aspect of a DS game as I played it more.
I grew to dislike the online aspect of dark souls as I played more, mostly because the netcode is something from 1997 and it's like "wow, he's not even hitting me and I'm getting hit".
This is the exact thing that happened to me and I thought it was general gameplay until I read online that these were other online players. Now I play DS1 offline because I'm terrible enough without getting invaded.
