This game’s a masterpiece.

>add multiple weapon types and entire gear/talent system
>combat is maybe a third of the game
I actually liked how exploration and platforming played a big role, but you could also tell they ran out of money after the first two worlds.

lootshit

>>721149880 (OP)
This one sucked compared to the first one.

more ARPGs need to take notes from darksiders 2
>cursed weapons
>empty base
>can sacrifice other items to level up that weapon
>affixes from the sacrificed weapons enter a pool
>once the cursed weapon levels up you can select an affix from that pool
this system made ALL loot interesting.

Shocked that /v/ doesn’t talk about this game more.

It’s on par with Sands of Time and God of War 3. The music, the art style, the jump button mapping into arial combos.

The game looks good enough to be World of Warcraft 2. That’s how good the art style is and holds up.

Death is cool but the game is kind of garbage.

it's been more than a decade but I remember having fun with it. got 1000G on xbox. I later played the first one and that's it, never felt the need to play the third one. they're fine games but if I get my "zelda for adults" fix from dark souls.

>>721149880 (OP)
dead city from first game is better, second game looks like Borderlands

>>721149880 (OP)
When are they going to fix it?

This series is fucking garbage.

>>721149880 (OP)
Can't believe its been a decade since

>>721150741
the games puzzle are really well thought out and the game is nothing but dungeons. the items needed for crafting are all acquired as you play the game normally
>>721150501
I am surprised the game isnt more well known and praised as well.

>>721150118
>That Glitch that was never fixed where you can reset the limit of how much you can level up those weapons by just dropping them on the ground and picking it up again
By the NG+, everytime i did a critical hit, half my HP bar would regenerate.

Darksiders 1 and 3 are masterpieces.
Darksiders 2 is dogshit. A classical example of retarded devs entirely misunderstanding what made people love the original when doing the sequel.

>>721149880 (OP)
Darksidders 2 is unironically the last good game made by western developers before everything turned into the shit we see now.

OG or Deathinitive?

>>721149953
> but you could also tell they ran out of money after the first two worlds.

Absolutely. Only the first world is properly crafted, world 2 is already mid, but still servicable. After that, the game becomes dogshit.

It peaked with act 1 boss.

I can’t explain or articulate why but the game feels like Spyro or Banjo or something. Someone explain what I mean

>>721151347
Bruh look how good this shit looks. That’s 2012 ps3 graphics. THATS THE CELL BABY. POWER OF THE CELL

>>721151459
Oh hold on so 1 and 3 are masterpieces but then one I think isn’t a masterpiece. Man this some fucking engagement bot here trying to make people mad and shit on this website fucking everything gotta be the opposite of what you say on here you could say the cure for cancer the best game ever and niggas here will jump in the thread telling you how it ain’t shit

>>721151510
That’s actually a really interesting point, and I think you might be right too. That was exactly the period when all the DEI stuff started to fire up from EA and Activision.

THIS IS THE STORY SO FAR
THE RIDER RODE-

>>721151835
it's 3d platformer for adults. also blue

I platinumed the first one because i enjoyed it a lot but for some reason never bothered to follow the franchise so i missed 2 and 3 completely.

>>721149880 (OP)
The artstyle is so good in this its crazy but then i never finished it, or the first one. Shit just got so boring in the end

>>721150118
in reality you savescum for lifesteal weapon and trivialize the game

>>721149953
>>721151739
Not even the studio. It was THQ the publisher that was dying.

>>721152238
darksiders 3 almost didn't come out with all the THQ shenanigans. when it came out I wasn't interested in the series anymore. 4 also seems to be taking a million years to develop.

>>721149880 (OP)
if only it didn't have a 50/50 chance of crashing when you open the menu.

>>721151714
Doesn't matter. Warmastered and Deathinitive were made more for trademark renewal reasons, under the new owners. So while Warmastered has some improvements, Deathinitve was barely changed from the OG 3 years earlier, all the glitches were still unfixed too.

>>721152395
>exploit thats easily solvable
non-issue

Cucksiders

>>721149880 (OP)
I played the first game and thought it was like a 6/10, is the 2nd one really that much better?

>>721155179
nah people just like edgelord MC more

Genesis > 1 > 2 > 3.

I hope D4 is a satisfying conclusion to the story. I want the council to eat some shit.

>>721156108
But are you a Diablo fan

>>721156309
No. I am only a fan of War.

I reckon this game is phenomenal. Playing through it now after all these years and it’s already sitting somewhere in my top 30 games of al time.

>>721151459
3 is shit because of the retarded souls clone combat. should've just stuck with 2's.

I enjoyed 1 and 2 a great deal. Are the other games similar or did they change too much?

>>721156886
3 tried to copy soulslikes but the mechanics don't work blend well with Darksiders.
Genesis plays like 1 despite camera angle, with the addition of Strife but without a connected overworld.

>>721149880 (OP)
Is the first one any good?

>>721157570
It's like zelda but link is a bara and talks a lot, angrily

>>721157570
Not really, it's a mediocre game. It's the best in the series though.

>>721149880 (OP)
nah, but it's neat

>>721150501
I don't think you know /v/ very well bro
Nothing of what you said besides Sands of Time is well regarded here
>the jump button mapping into arial combos.
It's nothing special, and the combos were way too limited, you could tell they had to cut a good portion of the combat due to the original THQ going under.
>That’s how good the art style is and holds up.
This was a Joe Mads game, although OG Warcraft was on par if not superior, WOW can go eat dicks.

>>721155179
>I played the first game and thought it was like a 6/10
That's pretty accurate to what it is today, it's a product of it's time, people called it edgy Zelda back then, which was decent novelty in those times.

>>721149880 (OP)
Yeah. Darksiders 2 might be one of my favorite ARPGs ever.

>>721158995
not all of /v/ are gacha brainrotted bots anon

>>721162004
>gacha brainrotted
I speak of times before such words were even imagined young one.
/v/ has never liked GoW seeing it as inferior to DMC and became soured on WoW with good reason, as the current state of Blizzard tells us.

>>721149880 (OP)
I really enjoyed the first one, the Joe Mad art style, the fun combat, and the story. It wasn't the most amazing game ever but as a god of war ripoff, it stood out.
Darksiders 2 I just got bored as fucking shit and dropped the game hard. I gave it plenty of time, but I think by the fifth identical "puzzle" that wasn't hard, just time consuming, and stops the game dead in its fucking tracks, I was also getting bad number-bloat vibes from the gear, and just generally didn't keep me invested or interested.
Maybe its a great game, and I just gave up on it too soon, but if I play a game, and I'm more annoyed than entertained, I'd rather just drop it.

>>721152284
>The artstyle is so good
Joe Madureira has a very distinct style I can spot from a mile away. I remember when the first darksiders came out I knew he was involved just by looking at the box art.

>>721151882
In general the game had a great art style where you actually felt cool. Kind of reminds me of WC3, or rather, it had that early 2000s power metal/comic book combo aesthetic.

>>721164079
That's just Image Comics. Edgy!

>>721150501
>Shocked that /v/ doesn’t talk about this game
Its not made in japan or has any waifus.

>it's another room where you have to either roll a ball into a hole or ride a mech into a hole
GREAT

>>721149880 (OP)
1 > genesis > 2

>>721164826
>du du du dudu HOH

>>721156108
Really? I recently played 3 and it was OK. Not as shit as people here made it out to be but I'll say for me 2>1>>3. Probably will try genysis before 4 comes out.

>>721149880 (OP)
The game is great until you remember that it basically ends after world 2
I still love it though, the entire Darksiders series is like the definition of a 7/10 game that you still love to death

>>721163250
>/v/ has never liked GoW seeing it as inferior to DMC
I mean, yes, but the first two GoWs were not hated by /v/.
