Overlord > The Darkness

who fucking cares

WOW THIS GAME HAS SHADARS

IT MUST BE GUD

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #3 on:** June 26, 2007, 03:22:15 AM »

Everyone cares - it's the GAME OF THE YEAR.

demi · « **Reply #4 on:** June 26, 2007, 03:24:23 AM »

7.8 on IGN, nobody wants to get behind that

Weekend rental, save your money for good games like Overlord or DiRT

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #5 on:** June 26, 2007, 03:28:00 AM »

The Darkness > Overlord

demi · « **Reply #6 on:** June 26, 2007, 03:29:27 AM »

Darkness -> 7.8

Overlord -> 8.1

Statistics don't lie, Overlord > The Darkness

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #7 on:** June 26, 2007, 03:33:56 AM »

The Darkness got a 9.0 on 1up and 8.5 from IGN UK! Stats do lie!

Also, anyone that honestly buys games based on online reviews is kind of stupid. MAF likes Tenchu Z - see if he cares! Shadowrun is an excellent multiplayer game and one of the most popular on XBL, but it got trashed from IGN as well. I can only sum up people that buy games based on IGN ratings as this:

NEOFAGS.

demi · « **Reply #8 on:** June 26, 2007, 03:35:44 AM »

The 1up review was shoddy, much like The Darkness

"ya its based off a comic, dats coo 9.0"

I think thats what the PDZ review was too from the same publication

MAF likes anything, he will change his mind within the next month, much like Prole Professor who buys Pokemon and other assorted games for the sake of buying them, as he has admitted

Rental total

Now you're just lying. The Games Radar review was also glowing. Purchase am total.

Im not sure what to think yet....and where is IGN's Darkness review for PS3?

I think I am sold on the game....BUT I really need to know more about any differences between X360/PS3 so I know what version to buy...

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #13 on:** June 26, 2007, 09:20:45 AM »

1up reviews are horrible, they shouldnt be brought up to defend either game.

Funny story about the PDZ review. The distinguished mentally-challenged fellow who gave the game a 10 I believe, was instantly hired by Microsoft the next week. Hmmm.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #15 on:** June 26, 2007, 10:39:43 AM »

Hey hey ive had lunch with that distinguished mentally-challenged fellow a few times!

1up/EGM reviews ARE a joke tho. Almost all negative reviews give no indication of having played the game at all. The .Hack//GU reviews from one up are baffling. They just sit there going 'MORE OF THE SAME IF U LIKE .HACK ORIGINAL U LIKE THIS ONE" when in fact aside from the story context very LITTLE is the same about GU.

PLAY THE GODDAMN GAMES JESUS CHRIST QUIT MAKING YER DUMB VIDEOS AND PLAY SOME GAMES

bud · « **Reply #16 on:** June 26, 2007, 11:14:41 AM »

which version are you guys going to buy? the only difference is that the ps3 has a bunch of complete movies (inc. nosferatu) on the disc.

demi · « **Reply #17 on:** June 26, 2007, 11:16:04 AM »

Nobody's gonna buy any version, the game is a rental

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #18 on:** June 26, 2007, 11:16:39 AM »

It looks like a Bullet Witch scenario, and I only participate in that kinda thing ONCE a year.

i'm so sick of FPS'es. this is definitely going to be a rental for me.

Don't hate the genre.

tom chick hates the darkness -- he said it was almost as awful as deus ex.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #24 on:** June 26, 2007, 03:06:12 PM »

I heard it was shenmueish with having to wait for trains and your character not being able to memorize where his girlfriend and mother live. One review said you can beat the main game in one sitting and that the AI gets easier as the game goes on.

abrader · « **Reply #25 on:** June 26, 2007, 06:25:01 PM »

Wow - yesterday I thought this was gona be one of those universal awesome games - now I feel like I might avoid it....then theres always the next-generation delimma of which version to get

I think people are too forgiving of games with dark (freaky) themes like this.....

I dunno - I wanna see more impressions....

Im most definately picking up Overlord tomorrow - paid in mofo full.

EDIT: id also like to add the the 1 on 1 videos i saw of the multi player play made it look awful...

Perhaps its better in teams....the morphing looked to be annoying exploit hell....

brawndolicious · « **Reply #26 on:** June 26, 2007, 08:09:50 PM »

The game's singleplayer sounds really challenging and the graphics are supposed to be really good. Probably a good rental or discount buy. Should go down in price soon.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #28 on:** June 26, 2007, 10:24:42 PM »

I have a feeling it'll go down to 20 soon. Or maybe they'll release the remake of Riddick with this game for $40 or something. That'd make it worth it. I mean both games are definitely worth replaying and the graphics are some of the best realistic fps graphics (or at least will be for Riddick) but each game looks very unique.

abrader · « **Reply #29 on:** June 26, 2007, 11:07:55 PM »

I ended up getting the X360 editon because of the few technical glitches on the PS3 version...(plus nobody could confirm or deny bloody online voice chat for the PS3 game)

So far I am loving it - glad the impulse buy pressure got to me...the game looks georgous - REALLY gets me excited for next gen silent hill..

Anyway - I need to get better at the game, I dont get the mechanics yet and keep getting shot up ;(

I also wish I had more ammo and better guns. The up close kills are amazing.

I havent figured out how to use the darklings yet...

I need to play it more, learn it and get it before I pass any kind of judgement...right now I git the 'fresh game hardon' too much to type anything subjective.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #30 on:** June 27, 2007, 12:21:28 AM »

Is there going to be a 360 demo for this game?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #31 on:** June 27, 2007, 04:43:15 AM »

This game is fantastic so far. The sound work is incredible - the music and effects really sell it. It feels like a cinematic comic book movie and for someone who geeks out on this stuff like me, it's awesome.

Some of the numbers you can call are hilarious including the one that's like, "Press 2 if someone is trying to stab you, press 3 if someone has already stabbed you and you are bleeding, press 4 if you are stabbing someone...."

The numbers are the perfect blend of creepy and comedy....

Did you think the close up shot of his girlfriends face looked damn real when you unlocked the Romance achievment?

- It was the first time I thought poly's textures looked like a breathing person - real flesh....

Then again im usually pretty knocked up when gamin sometimes...

littlemathletics · « **Reply #35 on:** June 27, 2007, 07:34:32 AM »

Is it wrong that I probably wouldn't give a shit about this game if Mike Patton weren't involved with it?

Bloodwake · « **Reply #36 on:** June 29, 2007, 09:54:15 AM »

I'm sure the Darkness is going to be good.

That said, it's still going to be a rental from me.
