She does not go online for Dark Souls 1. She does for Dark Souls 2 and Demon's Souls, but honestly I don't think that either of those were nearly as good as her Dark Souls playthrough. A huge part of her Dark Souls playthrough isn't just the way she approaches the game, but how staggeringly fast her improvement was. She went from not even knowing which button L3 was at the beginning to being a pretty great player all around by the end of it, and that's just not there for the later games. In those she starts off great and continues to be great, while also not really offering the "completely fresh" experience that the first LP offered. I haven't gotten more than a dozen episodes into DS2, to be fair, but she is constantly comparing the game to the first one "This boss was just X boss from Dark Souls 1 but Y" and "The world doesn't wrap back in on itself like Dark Souls 1 did" and similar, which while valid criticisms of a sequel I guess I would prefer if she was treating it more as its own thing. This may get better later on when the more original and difficult bosses begin appearing and the game really comes into its own, but for the first good bit it just ground on me a little bit.

Demon's has been excellent so far, though a big part of that is that I haven't actually seen anything of Demon's before.
