Darksiders 3

[sullynathan]

Playing through the 2nd game on the hardest difficulty is such a fucking chore because of how little damage weapons do and the constant looting to find new weapons and armor. Neither game has good combat but the first one at least had combat go through much quicker

I just can't stand the art style of these games. The characters have that overdesigned WRPG look. Plus, the demo I played on Xbox 360 was boring.

Castlevania: LoS meets WoW.

How original.

 

[J1M]

Hope you like those Zelda-style frame jitters when you hit an enemy, because turning that shit off is never a setting.

So much low interest. This is coming out in November 27th.







Pre-order, 60 USD at that:

Really attentive to this. Both previous games were very good Zelda-like adventure games to me.

 

[abnaxus]

Totally forgot this was even a thing.

Still no slutty outfit then?

Mods will fix it

There has been so little information about this that it's either fantastic and they know it or they are lazy as fuck and just don't care because they think it's guaranteed money from fans of the previous games. Hopefully the former.

Looks almost the same as death's gameplay so far. Not that that's a bad thing, I just set difficulty to apocalyptic in 2 and it was enjoyable without being tedious. The parts of the games I like most are the music and amazingly cool bosses.
Darksiders 1/2 don't come near my favorite games of all time, but this moment was definitely one of the most memorable of any game I've played.

I liked this track.

It was terrible. How'd you enjoy enemies with a shit ton of health & repeating combat?

I thought it was pretty easy. I just became proficient with high damage combos.

I nodded off twice while watching the 11 minute gameplay demo - hardly a ringing endorsement for an action game.

Gameplay looks more chore than fun, graphics and progression look underwhelming and weapons weak and lacking impact.

 

[J1M]

I want to like this.

The first one was a nice mix of Zelda and God of War. The second got confused and tried to be prince of persia and borderlands or something instead.

Here's hoping they realized that the series is about Zelda + God of War, not "mash up any two action games".

 

[J1M]

Well, fuck. Just skipped through that gameplay trailer.

Looks like they went with a Dark Souls + Metroid mashup for this one.

 

[sullynathan]

Looks a lot better here

 

[Haba]

Oh gee willikers, yet another strong female player character.

Need to stock up my soy milk for this one!

 

[AbstractKazzy]

As a fan of the series these games have never been amazing. I would say just good depending on who you're asking. 3 looks a lot better than the first trailer from ages ago but $60 good? Fuck no.

 

[Chippy]

I buy these games for the articles, for the art. Bit like the Castlevania Lord of Shadow games. There have been some memorable moments in each game. They should let you play as Strife though, as I only ever enjoyed bolting on Lara Croft's tits in the original Tomb Raider back in the day. Other than that I've never seen the point in playing as a girl.

 

[deama]

They missed an opportunity to make her a succubus, that would have been really fun.

 

[Suicidal]

I recently started playing Darksiders for the 1st time and I'm enjoying it. Combat is not that good (feels like budget God of War, which by itself feels like budget Devil May Cry) but it's decent enough and the game does a very good job at constantly giving you something new, whether it's flying sections, 3rd person shooter sections, extended puzzle solving sections, so you don't have enough time to get bored of the combat. Also, I really like exploring the world and looking for secrets.

If Darksiders 3 will be more of the same then I'm down for that.

If Darksiders 3 had been a newly conceived game in current year, I would have agreed with you, but they had established the character since the first game in the series started IIRC, it's not a sudden thing to appeal to the gay community.

edit:
I think the female thing was more of them wanting to do their own thing and make the four horsemen different, because at the same time they fucked it up and made fury/strife instead of famine/pestilence.
