It's pretty damn good. Loved both games. Comics were neat too. Probably will never get a 3rd game though. Poor Jenny...

Agreed. The games took the story and made it amazing. How they got both games to be that good we can only guess. All Jackie wanted was to leave the mob and skip town with Jenny. Poor Jackie was never meant to have a happy ending from the start.

It sucks because I would have taken a bittersweet or generic ending over the cliff hanger we got. That literal leap of faith from Jackie at the end of 2 was pretty cool though.

Besides a mob boss, who else would greatly benefit as the host of Darkness?

it sounds extremely tempting, since as long as there's dark, and where I live in we practically have one really long as Day and an even longer night, I'd be tough to take down,
but I would also have random black outs and be 100% guaranteed to be sent to hell after I die, I'd probably leave a very long lasting but permanent dark mark on the world before I died off of course, no fucking way am I going down without a bloody and messy fight.

Rented the Punisher back in the day on Xbox not thinking it was going to be that great. Actually turned out to be a really solid game. Sigh, I wish Marvel would do more Punisher stuff.

>>92953165
I really wish there were more games like it. Narratively. Inner monologing voiceover noir meshes really well with video games to me. Hell I wish there was more of it in movies in general these days.
Sin City really should have had a game, such a no-brainer.

>>92956251
Really, I dunno why it's become such a lost art in movies and when it's used it usually has to be a throwback cliche and whatever. It could make so many movie genres today better.

These scenes were so well done. You can really feel his desperation and despair.

>>92956792
Despised the Portugese-ness of MP3 and how bland most of the characters were but it still had its charm. I really want another MP, get rid of the portugese but keep some of the other developments like taking Max to locations he didn't hang around in the first 2 games. Really liked going through places like the swamp hideout and the yacht.

>>92951810
first game was good, second game was trash that played itself.

>>92951810
I just can't into first person games.

>>92956792
but yeah, inner monologs might have become corny to some people but I think they can still be used for an extra dimension of immersion. Is there ever gonna be a resurgence wave of those kind of movies?

>>92957219
me either most of the time but games like that or Deus Ex are an exception.

>>92957219
This one is very different from the usual stuff, even FPS haters should be encouraged to try.
Unless it gives you motion sickness.

Yeah the second one doesn't let you go back to locations and doesn't have as much of a "comfy" vibe without the subway, but I don't think that's THAT much of a sacrifice.

I'm not a huge fan of Deadpool but I thought the game was pretty decent. It's far from perfect but you can usually always find the game cheap.

Saw that game get trashed when it came out but I liked it overall. Gets a little too repetitive as it goes on though, doesn't help that ruins of Genosha are a pretty bland landscape for the most part and you spend like 60% of the game there...
I was expecting for levels to escalate until you go on some kind of space adventure that makes fun of the Phoenix Saga or something but I guess not. Hope there's another game one day.

I love that Mike Patton was the voice of The Darkness, even if he over did it a few takes.

>>92961052
Don't think that's possible.

>>92952059 I thought that the games were better than the comics in the beginning. In the end, though, I ended up liking the Jackie in the comics a hell of a lot more because he felt more complex to me, like he's still a scumbag, but hell, he tried to do right so many times, but like he's still Jackie at the end. Still very bitter about his end because he goes down like a fucking chump.

>>92957219
Put it on easy mode and give it a chance. The games are well worth it.

>>92961914
I only ever played the games and read a little of the comics. How exactly does Jackie go down?

The games have their own separate canon. As for the comics I would like to know as well.

also I honestly hated the first game from a gameplay perspective, just wasn't any fun, the guns were awful, your powers weren't very useful overall, and you're made out of wet cardboard

>>92952296
You're saying that like it's an achievement of some kind.

I liked Jackie from the games better. Better story and character. The comics felt like they were edgy just to be edgy. Worth your time if you haven't played them yet.
