FUCK.YES.

[MMaRsu]

Too bad it's another prequel!

[toku]

Excited for this even though I didn't really fuck with 2 that much.

[Bebpo]

One of these days I'll play this series.  All the lukewarm impressions of II kinda dissuaded me after the positive talk on I.  Will see how III turns out and if it's good I'll get on board.

[Great Rumbler]

The first one was a pretty good Zelda-esque action-rpg with puzzles and platforming. It's definitely worth getting, especially with the recently-released Warmastered Edition.

[Let's Cyber]

If they bring back the horse and let me trample demons in big open post-apocalypse environments, I'll be down.

Also Mark Hamill.

Yeah, because a four player co-op character action-lite Zelda clone was feasible for a studio made up of ex-Vigil members with less of a budget and less staff.

I have zero interest in a four player coop game. I don't think that game is ever gonna happen anyway. I am hoping for a game that's as good as the first one and doesnt focus on too much loot.

Also Id really like to see what happens after DS1 but I guess we are gonna have to wait another 8 years before we see what happens there, if it happens at all.

Nothing interesting, I can almost guarantee it.

lol story

lol story

I love a good story in a videogame, but it is NEVER the reason I'd play a videogame. A bad story can diminish a great game, but a great story can't save a bad game.

so in the first game the player character was War, a horseman of the apocalypse. in the second game it was Death, a horseman of the apocalypse. And here it's... Fury? Is she also a horse(wo)man of the apocalypse, or is she a fury (Tisiphone?) or just war's rando super-demon sister or whatever?

I've only played a little of both 1 and 2, but I always wondered if they would do something cool with famine and pestilence. guess not

[Great Rumbler]

In Darksiders lore [lmao], the Fourhorsemen/women are War, Strife, Fury, and Death.

Ah, that Image/Wildstorm tendency to fix things that aren't broken…

[Bebpo]

I read the change was because it was hard to make a movelist for a main character out of pestilence and famine.

[VomKriege]

Where is Dimitri ? Not a big fan of this new Morrigan design.

If that's honestly the reason then I feel comfortable calling it stupid. Since when do they need a strong theme for weak attack, weak attack, heavy attack? They did Death already. A skull hockey mask and scythes as weapons was all it took to satisfy their artistic aspirations there. I guess I can see making Fury female, because Greek mythology. But the whip is wholly arbitrary, but I guess God of War had whip like weapons. Strife? Doesn't make any sense to me, but he has guns like Dante. Pff. Pffffffffffrt.

pestilence seemed the most potentially interesting to me because of how versatile poison is as a weapon, but idk these games always seemed a bit tepid on the creativity front. It definitively feels like everything is filtered through a very narrow idea of what's cool and it ends up not hanging together in a particularly interesting way imo. (If they exchanged the World of Warcraft OC look for a more Soul Reaver derivative stuff I'd be into it tho)

God, yes.

Dat whip..

Sounds like shit

[fistfulofmetal]

Looks super early. Which it is, but I'm surprised they didn't polish up this vertical slice a bit to have a bit more punch.

Combat seems to be more like the first game, with a little dash of Dark Souls. I'm a little disappointed tbh since I really liked the DMC style combat from the second game.

I get the impression they're trying to just meld the first and second game together.

[Rufus]

We have yet to see anything but connecting corridors, but it looks very much like Darksiders so far. Basic whip moves don't look as impressive as surfboard sized sword moves, of course.

[Let's Cyber]

EDIT: LOL Cyber get there seconds before me.

2 seconds

 

It looks (the level design, aesthetics) like the first game to me, which is fine. Some of the environments look really nice.

[toku]

Thinking about giving DSII another shot. I have a copy on steam am i missing anything if itsn't the "death-inative" edition or w/e?

Might just go through 1 instead again and wait on a sale of the latest vers of II.

I feel like I found out more than I wanted to know about Vorodi's legs.
