Darksiders

[PretoDragao]

I just saw a commercial on TV for this game just the other day. The release date is in January. I think it has a lot of potential and I'm probably going to pre-order it. What do you guys think?

I saw this trailer on the tube of you and thought Woah, very cool.

so I delved a little deeper, found this pre release demo

and was, well ultimately unimpressed. It just doesn't look that good when you compare it to others that are on a similar time of release like Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed II.

It looks a little dated to me and it isn't even out yet.

In my opinion, I don't even find it fair to compare it to MW2. I mean come on, it's the sequel to the best selling shooter of all time; of course it's going to look pale in comparison.

It has alot of action-y games all mushed together in it. You see some God of War, some Devil May Cry, Barbie Horse Adventures. It looks interesting, but I wouldnt probably wouldnt buy it. Maybe rent it or get a used copy.

If anything, I'd think it would be a good use of Christmans money.

Exactly. You can't really compare it to AC2 for that matter. That is a highly anticipated release too. Both are set to be great sequels.

Still darksiders looks decent. I'll rent it, but then again I only buy games I KNOW I'm gonna like!

Playing thru this right now. Not to impressed so far

[Thunderbolt]

I have it on PS3, and so far I think it's good but nothing special.

[PlasmaTwa2]

I saw a commercial for this game, and it looked pretty unimpressive. I didn't see anything that really set it apart from any other game out right now, and personally I thought the graphics looked pretty bad (course, I know that's not a way to judge a game).

Is there a demo out on Live for this? It seems like a game that could use one.

Darksiders, Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno are just to handle the masses until God of War 3 hits in March. I can't wait *in a school-girl voice*

I gotta be honest,after playing both the GOW and Dante's Inferno demos,I'm way more exited about Dante's Inferno than I am about GOW 3.

Even though Dante's Inferno seems to be a clone of God Of War,I just find that after 2 games,there really isn't anything different that they've brought to the table with the 3rd installment.Of course I'm just speaking off of a demo and hopefully there is more to the game than just what I've played,but the one thing that probably won't change is the story,and that's where I think Dante's Inferno might have God Of War 3 beat.

I do like the zelda platform aspect of darksiders.
Although it is a decent game, its nothing groundbreaking but then again what is these days?

[Spreadpose]

im not that into as i have lost my taste in those kind of games but for those that like the zelda style games it should be great!!!!

[StormRuller]

I bought this game last week but played little bit only... addicted to FIFA 2010!!

[owens5516]

i personally loved the first two god of war games, and although it seems like the third won't be much different than the others, i'll still buy it just to see how the story line finishes. but i'll rent darksiders and dante's inferno here soon, they both look worth the 5 dollar rental fee

[mosvie]

i didn't really enjoy it, as it reminded me of Devil May Cry 2.

dante's inferno is a clone. Damn near identical. Difference being at least the GoW story is interesting.

Have you even played the demo?

Yes,the game engine is pretty much the same,but to say that Dante's Inferno doesn't have an interesting story tells me that you haven't bothered with the game at all.

Sorry,while GOW 3 will undoubtedly be a great game,I just find that they are recycling the same story that they have done in 3 other games.

At least Dante's Inferno is doing something that I don't recall has been done on any console,with the brutality and maturity that they are presenting.For fuck sake,there are religious groups protesting this game because of the story content.

[Legzman]

yes I played the demo. Wasn't interesting to me. I'll rent it some time but not till after I'm done with GoW III

Well,if you are waiting until after GOW 3,to play it,that kinda doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me,considering that Dante's will be out a full month before GOW 3.If the demo really wasn't that interesting,why bother playing it at all?

Sorry if I sound to presumptuous,and please don't take this the wrong way,but I'm getting the feeling that you probably just don't want to like this game already because of the similarities to GOW,and are a little afraid that you might end up liking it just as much,if not more than GOW.

[Legzman]

I'll bother to play it since I have gamefly so its cheap enough to try it out. If I don't like it I'll send it back the same day, if I do like it I'll keep it till I beat it.

I wanna wait till after GoW3 cause that way I can get into that game more. If I play a damn near identical game (play wise) to GoW3 then I'll be less into it. Id much rather see how that story wraps up than how dante's inferno starts.

Anyway, why the fuck are we arguing the similarities and differences of DI and GoW 3 in a thread about Darksiders???

I didn't think it was an argument per se,but I think that the obvious answer is that because Darksiders probably isn't that good.
