Reminder that Death is the best of all the Four Horsemen

we have only seen half of them in action.

making a concrete decision when you do not yet possess all of the information is illogical.

>>376864257
we saw them all in the comic

>>376863053
Never played or read the comic. Is the series as "OW THE EDGE" as it looks?

>>376863053
too bad he is in the worse game

>>376864627
Death sacrifices his life out of love for his brother.

>>376863053
Joe Mad is a terrible artist that needs talented colorists to give his work character and depth.

>>376863053
Of course he is the best.
If you want to conquer the world, you need him to deliver your enemies.
If you are one of the other horsemen like famine or plague, you still need to suck death's dick.
If you are a necromancer, even your armies aren't endless without death.

No matter who you are, if you want to get shit done, you rely on this guy.

Death, War, Pestilence, and Famine.

Why is Fury a Horseman?

He's not the strongest, though

>>376866453
Pestilence and famine are the horses

>>376866364
IIRC he's not the literal manifestation of death.
He's just a really strong warrior who happens to be called death.
You could call him Wow The Edge and he would still be the same.

>>376866502
That's a shitty cop-out. They should both be female, would reflect real life pretty well.

>>376866750
yeah because the horseman of the apocalipse fighe giant dwarfes all the time
is on the bible

>>376866750
I guess pestilence could be some assassin poison shit but what the fuck would famine's gameplay be?

Because Pestilence and Famine would be extremely shitty to play as in a hack and slash game.

Picture edgy Kirby.

Famine can age charagets use time.
Siphon energy make things wither.

Though if
>>376866947
That is the real reason then i am disappointed that these guys are thinking such inside the box.
Considering the grandiosity oozing from this franchise i think a gradual progression of epicness is plot and scope would be cool.
Start out hack and slash, the go up to real time tactics or something akin to the kingdom under fire series, that combined strategy and hack and slash.

He goes to the land of dead IN HIS OWN FUCKING GAME BTW and there's a literaly king there who isnt him.
It's even pointed out that he pretty much never goes there considering his name.

>>376863053
Man, i hope the third game isn't as boring to 100% than the first one. At least add some counter for the collectibles in every area or something.

>>376867717
This is certainly no place for one.

>>376863053

I liked both War and Death. War was a bit more dry but it was nice to have an MC that wasn't to be made a fool off, and simply did work.

Death was also nice because of how surprisingly affable he was for being death.

Kinda hype to see what they do with Fury. I hope she isn't just strong proud woman or flippant cunt.

Are these games good? Always thought the idea was cool but I always used to hear they were pretty shallow God of War clones

>>376868294
She probably is the bitch onesama type that actualy cares a lot about her "brothers"

>>376866295
>>376864627
He's also kind of a smart-ass in the best of ways.

>>376868332

I would say they're more Zelda than GoW.

Darksiders 1 is basically Zelda + God of War
Darksiders 2 is Zelda + God of War + Diablo

But they're not necessarily taking the best parts of all those.

>>376866453
I dunno if you have ever spent more than 5 minutes looking into Darksiders or the bible but it is made insanely clear that Darksiders is not supposed to be an adaptation of biblical lore and is about as true to the bible as Lord of The Rings is.

>>376868475

It would be nice to give her some gap moe by having her be really motherly with her brothers and really hardass with everyone else.

Or maybe have her always be a hardass except when she encounters a shota character.

>>376868579

I would say Darksiders is about as Biblical as Diablo. Which is a bit, but just a bit.

>>376868632
Yeah, that game started ou ok but boy did it fall off
When i realized the tactical and normal combat had zero depth and you could faceroll the game with the guitar combos i just unninstalled.

>>376868647
prety much every single religion in the world has angels on then, many dont call it angels but they still have then.

having angels dont realy mean anything

>>376868569
Strife is a petty asshole with inferiority issues and a love of killing shit. Death is the asshole big brother who loves them all but is willing to smack his siblings around if it will teach them a lesson.

>>376868647
Eh, there's angels and demons who dislike eachother and that's it.

The basics of biblical angels and demons are completely different from how most fantasy stories adapt them, besides using some vague Christian imagery most "biblical" games aren't biblical at all. And for good reason, you gotta take a lot of artistic licenses to make a game where War can go around cutting up angels and demons.

>>376868294
Fury is going to be irrationally bitchy all the time because "fury", until it turns out her anger was misplaced and she has a heart of gold because plot.

>>376868956
In the book Fury is actually pretty calm and nice.

theres a darksiders book about fury?

>>376868294
From what the developers of DS3 have said so far Fury values "The Horsemen" as an institution more than any of the others. She genuinely respects and is loyal to the Charred Council in all things and wants to bring prestige to the Four Horsemen.

I'm sure at some point she will learn War was framed and Death sacrificed himself and it will change her mind on the matter or at least lead to some self-doubt.

No but she's in the one about Death. All the Horsemen are. It actually builds a little more on the Nephilim as well and the kind of shit they pulled before the Horseman betrayed them.

Ahh right
I should get to read that someday

I played Darksiders 2 for about 10 minutes and I just couldn't go on. The performance was so fucking garbage. At least the first game runs well on PS4; what a fucking lazy port 2 was.

>tfw we have to wait yet another game for our Gunslinging Cowboy Horseman

I wonder if they were worried Red Dead Redemption 2 would siphon away all the cowboy/western fans if they went that direction for DS3. I'm assuming DS3 and RDR2 will launch within a year or two of each other.

>>376869473
Wait, Darksiders 2 doesn't even run well on PS4? I was always under the impression it ran fine on consoles it was only the PC version that had issues.

Is that not the case?

>>376869671
the 360 and ps3 versions ran fine, no clue about the newgen ports

>>376869539
I thought Darksiders 2 happened while War was still imprisoned during the 100 years of End Times before he gets sent to Earth by the Charred Council.

I thought Darksiders 3 took place in that same 100 year period (i.e. both the second and third game being prequels of a sort).

>>376869671
Well it's not that it runs like absolute garbage it's just it's a painfully mediocre hack and slash that doesn't even run all that well and I'm not going to waste my time and energy on it.

>>376869731
Ah okay. I'm currently playing through the Warmastered version on the PS4 and everything has been smooth sailing so far. I was worried you meant that the Deathinitive Edition on the PS4 was trash, as I haven't tried it yet.

I mean, so was the first Darksiders game and so was the God of War series, but to each their own I suppose.

>>376869758
kinda, darksiders 1 starts and ends DURING darksiders 2. they both end almost at the same place

just after death "sacrifices hinself" the 7th seal is broken and he comes back.

I have yet to read any of the comics. Do we have any idea what kind of personality Strife has?

>>376869928

We don't even know if we will get a game with that character.

>>376870181
Horseman put Samael into power to spite the council.
Samael becomes bro tier

I miss how the executions were more brutal in the first game.
There was barely any blood in Death's.

>>376870181
I guess Fury could visit Samael in his prison to learn where the some of the sins are.
But Samael isn't likely to give that information for free.

>>376870323

If War is still chained then Samael is probably still free.

>>376870181
>inb4 Fury kills him because "muh strong and powerful womyn who aint need no demons"
The nigger is clearly stronger than War and Death.

>>376870181
My worry is that because Darksiders 3 has a comparatively smaller budget than the previous games, that they won't bring back some of the awesome voice actors.

War is voiced by the guy who does Illidan.
Samael is voiced by Vernon Wells.
Vulgrim is voiced by Phil LaMarr.
Abaddon is voiced by Troy Baker.
The Charred Council is voiced by Fred Tatasciore.

I'm really worried the voice acting for three is gonna suck and be a bunch of new cheap/shitty voice actors to save on the budget.

They are gonna bring back Phil Lamarr as Vulgrim, right?

>>376870594

He's still alive when War summons them all.

You could always replay the series if you are interested. The Fury Collection was recently on sale on the most recent console generation.

Darksiders 1 only take like 8-10ish hours to beat unless you are doing a completionist run.

Darksiders 2 only takes like 18-20ish hours to beat unless you are doing a completionist run.

The ending of 2 implies that Lucifer will have a greater role in the series, but honestly I'd prefer if Samael usurps him in the end through all the power he has accumulated from the Riders throughout the series then ends up as the big bad.

I was 7 hours into the first Darksiders when I stopped, should I continue on that file or is it worth restarting for the Warmastered edition

White Horse: Pestilence and Conquest
Black Horse: Famine

>>376872826

Darksiders is weird, but I like it.

A shame about Fury in DS3

>>376872782
Breaking the 7th Seal resets everything and brings all the Horsemen back for the End Times.

So, even though Death "sacrificed himself", he is brought back at the end of game (because the ending of DS2 coincides with the ending of DS1, i.e. the shattering of the Seventh Seal).

>>376872908
Not really, just learn the chronology. If you wanna get technical War dies too. Strife is most likely dead during 1, 2, and 3 and Fury as well. Probably the same time Death does.

>>376872930
No you numbnuts, the sole reason why War was released by the Council was because of the sacrifice of Death.

That's why there's a timeskip when War was brought to trial and then sent back to a nature-reclaimed Earth.

I was really hoping that Fury would play like the rosary/reflector combat in Okami. The combat just looks lame compared to the first two games. I know it's a whip, but combat should feel heavier, I think.

I like Wars design better myself, but death certainly had the better game in the end.

>>376873510
I mean, that Watcher died though. So he definitely isn't coming back. The Charred Council could create another Watcher like it did in the comic after it murdered the female one, which is arguably the easiest excuse for using a new voice actor.

He did do a good job in DS1, but he has no reason to return. The Charred Council has no particular reason to bring back that SPECIFIC watcher, especially after it failed them.

>>376873601
TALISMANS

>>376873584
The council lets War out to save their own asses because of the shit going down with the seals being broken and magically not broken

War was a scapegoat and Darksiders 1 takes place during Darksiders 2, the devs said so themselves.

>>376868027
If it started on fury the series wouldn't be popular enough for a second game. Hell, the best one, Death, was made into the second game to save THQ and failed.

>>376874516
Sounds dumb and rehashed from 2

>>376874406
But where Strife/Conquest is a physical ranged attacker, Famine would be a more magical/alchemical ranged attacker, like a mage or something.

Famine/pestilence would be like your standard wizard with a sickness twist, fighting by bending swarms of locusts, spewing clouds of disease, debilitating enemies, etc.

>>376874424
I have to agree.

Arthas is a much better design than Fury

>>376874464

>>376874464
Abaddon did nothing wrong. Well, aside from being comparatively less prepared than the forces of Hell.

Realistically, if all the other Angels had listened to Abaddon and put all their resources towards the war at the End Times, the Hellguard might've stood a chance. The demons were prepping for war 24/7 while the angels were chilling.

>>376874474

Its a pretty difficult pitch, ditching the idea was probably for the best

You just described Death's necromancer skill tree.

>>376874464
>I choose what once a coward did not
I don't get it. Is he saying that he chose something a coward could not?

>>376875769
Abbadon had the choice during the beginning of Darksiders 1 to die resisting Hell's forces, or become a demon.

He chose the latter, War chose the former.

>>376869960
God of War at least has good set pieces and is at least more complex than Darksiders. I think there's very few games that can match the first God of War's opening in terms of how visceral it is.

The first Darksiders aped so much off of God of War down to the fucking music it was ridiculous.

>>376870616
The thing that Darksiders does well is just the absolutely fantastic voicework especially from Phil LaMarr who is like a chameleon.

>>376875992
good to know you played neither one of those games.
you can leave now

Thank you anon

When is Darksiders 3 supposed to come out?

>>376863053
I enjoyed War.

Anyways, who's the last horseman after Fury?

>>376878520
Strife.

>>376875992

lmfao if you think darksiders 2 didn't have any good setpieces

>>376866453
>Death, War, Pestilence, and Famine.
*Conquest, War, Famine, Death

>>376866453
Pestilence is not a Horseman

I know the games are inherently edgy. And War was a bit goofy with how huge he was. But death has no mouth and the school shooter hair, yeesh

>>376876128
Played and finished all of the God of War games barring Ascension and got pretty close to finishing the first Darksiders, yet dropped it during that stupid portal section it ripped straight from another game hmmm I wonder what that was.

>>376878636

>this autist still at it

>>376878727
The school shooter haircut is typically more of a bobcut, if I'm not mistaken.

It's just what you'd expect an outcast to look like,long greasy black hair

I don't know if death's is supposed to be greasybut it looks that way

>>376873749
Doesn't Death fight with Uriel on Earth before War was freed by the council? Doesn't he encounter humans who were dead for over a century by the time War was freed?

>>376879332
he meets Uriel and even helps her a bit, she has no reason to fight him
and death only meets one human

I am at the twilight citadel (big lava church dungeon) in the first dark siders

Do the environments ever get better, so far it's a lot of boring grey ruined cities. With lava occasionally.

The graveyard with the red trees was nice, and the blue sandy area was OK too

>>376879332

at that time war was still in chains

>>376866453

Is it? Does his face ever get shown?

>>376873397
>judging the combat when the game isnt even 50% done

You must be retarded or something...it literally isnt coming out for who the fuck knows how long.

>>376879419
There is also the flooded underground system, the ashland/desert area with its colosseum, and heaven/eden off the top of my head.

>>376879479

hahahahahahahahaha oh my god

>>376879419
they get better, but I honestly liked that environment

>>376879560

No but throughout the game when he talks his jaw and vocal chords move like they would if it was a human face with a mask, and at the end of the game he takes the mask off but we only see him from the back after that

>>376879668
Oh, I guess I must not have noticed. I definitely like that a whole lot better than his face being some weird bone thing with no mouth.

>>376869039
Yeah

And then suddently DS3 trailer
"hello dear brother, still being chained and tortured forever, hahaha faggot"
"kill everything? with pleasure hehe *twirling moustache villain grin*"

>>376879929
The trailer was pretty shit but I will reserve my judgement for the final product. I'm sure the Devs will hear and understand some of our complaints

I hope 3 doesn't follow the
>get 3 of A to unlock B
>get 3 of C to unlock D
>get 6 of E to finally unlock F
>repeat
formula

>>376879560

No. He hands his mask to the crowfather at the end of the game. War can find it in the first game.

The only story bit of Death that I remember is him on that ship thing fighting that undead human champion that was pissed because the apocalypse happened and he was denied a good fight or some shit.

I need to replay DS2.

Butt-cloths are stupid bullshit reeeee

>>376879383
still though War wasn't released until Humanity was dead for a Hundered years so therefore Darksiders 2 takes place before

>>376880061
Well I mean... we know for sure it is already going to have:
>kill 7 Deadly Sins

Presumably doing so will unlock some final end goal or boss.

>>376873749
>>376879332
>>376879332
What's so hard to understand? In DS1 prologue War comes to earth thinking the seven seals were broken, gets jailed for it. Then in DS2 Death goes to break the seal to make it "the truth" and free War. Then DS1 continues.

>>376880393

yeah Marlow Briggs is the one who gets Death's mask

>>376880578
I could see it being broken up to something like 3>midboss thing that reveals a deeper plot/council shenanigans>remaining 4>giving the council the finger along with every side via last boss that causes her to die in the process

>>376880586
>Then in DS2 Death goes to break the seal to make it "the truth" and free War

no he doesn't, actually play the game before you act like you know what happened

>>376880586
War and or Uriel is the one that breaks the seventh seal. Council lets War go to earth because he's a fuggin blockhead and easily manipulated

>>376880393

Oh, you're probably right. I thought i remembered it being a hidden collectible that you found in one of the underground sections

>>376863053
>Aye, people call me "Runt", but I much prefer mah own name... "Karn"!

God I loved him.

Alright /v/, who is your favorite side character in the Darksiders series (i.e not War or Death) ?

Hard Mode: No Samael

>>376881948
Ulthane

>>376881948
Azrael or Vulgrim

>>376881948
either Vulgrim or Uriel. Ulthane isn't to bad.

>>376881948
Ulthane by far.

>Go'on. Fly away, pigeons! 'fore I pluck ya.

>>376881948
He was an ass but I thought the Watcher was pretty cool
I also like the Announcer dude of the crucible in DS2

>>376881948
I like the Crowfather, even if he does kinda job like a bitch.

Wanna play through these again (Barely started the second game), is it worth the included DLC/graphical upgrade to burn some shekels for the PC versions of Warmastered/Deathinitive when they go on sale or will my 360 copies do fine?

>>376882274
If you are going to play Darksiders 2, I'd say get the Deathinitive edition since it comes with all the DLC.

The original Darksiders is still fine on 360 though.

>>376882274
360 ones will hold up fine if you don't give a shit about the dlc. Which is largely just like three dungeons for 2.

>>376881948

Wicked K

>>376882350
>>376882354
Oh wow yeah, just read how anaemic the DLC for II is. Thanks anons, guess I'm dusting off my 360 tonight.

Got the Fury Collection on PS4 on sale the other day, been enjoying it a lot. I originally beat DS1 but never tried DS2. Decided to do a fresh playthrough of the series.

I'm in the Iron Canopy atm getting close to Silitha and my Chosen Heart for Samael, game is just as fun as I remembered. Looking forward to beating Straga/Abaddon and starting DS2.

Also decided to go for the Abyssal Armor this time around which is something I hadn't done before. Got 6 out of 10 pieces so far.

I really, really, REALLY hope Darksiders 3 doesn't suck. It needs to sell well so we can get a game with Strife in it. I'm not even really hyped on Fury yet I'm still going to get it just because I adore this series.

>>376880834

>>376868579
Fucking this, why so many people sperg over it is unbelievable.

>>376880834

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LWxhp_QHxqQ

>>376882883
Eh I figure as long as they throw in good supporting characters like Ulthane, Vulgrim, Samael, Azrael, Uriel, a new Watcher, a Wicked K cameo, etc. with lots of interactions accompanying them I can suffer through a Fury game.

>>376883087
The newest IGN Darksiders 3 video tells us that one of the first areas we visit in the game (the giant tree) is where Ulthane lives, and that it's kind of like the game's central hub.

>>376883087
Samael, Uriel, and Vulgrim are most likely assured considering when it takes place and where. Maybe an Ulthane mention or so like in 2. Wicked K will pop up in some manner though I could see it being closer to one if they want to emphasis castlevania. I'm not too sure about Azrael. I would hope more angels pop up since War and the last third of 2 was hell central.

Alright /v/, time to come up with Horse names for Fury & Strife.

So far the naming pattern has been somewhat intuitive.
War & Ruin, Death & Despair.

What should Fury and Strife ride?

>Wrath
>Ire
>Furor
>Frenzy
>Discord
>Dissent
>Rancor
>Hysteria
>Havoc

I don't know I'm just spitballing here, any ideas?

>>376883452
Wrath is out, Ire too kinda. I could see Fury having Discord or something for it while Strife has Havoc or Rancor. Maybe Fatal for Fury's horse though that's a stretch.

>>376883452
Hysteria sounds nice, but Furor is even better

>>376883452
Fervor mayhap

>>376883452
I like Fury & Frenzy and Strife & Hysteria or maybe Strife & Discord

What do you guys think Fury and Strife's finisher forms are gonna be?

>>376883452

Fury's horse should be Scorn

This is no place for a horse.

>>376883931
Wraith naga thing for Fury. A jet fighter/attack chopper for Strife

>>376884113
I have to go alone.

>>376883452
Decay
Wither
Perish
Mania

>>376883931
Fury screams then turns into a banshee looking ghost thing and her whip turns into a Scourge (i.e. multi-tailed whip). She goes crazy with the aoe attacks and also subsequently gets a whip shield defense from projectiles.

Strife's mask falls/breaks away and he turns into a fallen angel, sprouts black wings from beneath his cape/poncho so he can fly freely and his guns turn into submachine guns.

We aren't getting Darksiders 4 are we...

File: 1494701197371.jpg (78KB, 726x650px) Image search: [Google]

78KB, 726x650px

>>376884763

I hope Darksiders 4 is about Strife killing an absolute fuck-ton of Angels. It feels like we've been killing Demons for 2 (soon to be 3) games straight now.

>>376884763
Good thing only two of those should really be a factor in deciding it then.

I think Darksiders 3 will probably be something like:

>Kill the 7 Deadly Sins
>Oh no, who would've guessed Fury, the Charred Council was deceitful all along!
>Cue fight with the Keeper of Oblivion
>Fury wins and is now ready to stand with brothers against the universe

The Keeper is from the Abomination Vault book and is basically described as one of the Charred Council's more seasoned executioners.

"The Keeper of Oblivion is one of the most feared underlings of the Charred Council, possibly as feared as Death himself. He is described as being tall and broad shouldered, but emaciated to the point of being skeletally gaunt. Despite this, he is said to give the impression of having boundless strength."

"He is shown to be very well spoken, polite, and fairly quiet. The Keeper, much like Death, has not been seen without a mask, a slab of metal with tear-like trails of corrosion coming from the eye slits. The elder Horseman considers the Keeper a kindred spirit and arguably the closest thing he has to a friend outside the Four Horsemen. His title is his purpose: he functions as a punisher of souls sentenced by the Charred Council. By using a large, mirror like portal, he can send them into Oblivion, thus erasing them from existence entirely. He refuses to question the council's judgement on the matters of who he sends there as a means of protecting his sanity. "

>>376885347
So like Wicked K if he wasn't a dead human?

Why does everyone hate Fury so much? I like her design.

>>376885469
I'll give you two guess why there's sudden hate. Most everyone who knew of her existence is fine with her, maybe not a fan of her design for 3 bit not to the point of hating her.

>>376885469
I don't hate Fury, but I wanted Strife.

>>376885469

I like her concept art but he in-game model is ugly

>>376885559
I think she looks good both in the concept art and in-game, but she looks really jarringly awful in that one CGI reveal trailer they released. Hopefully the final cutscenes that make it into the game look markedly better.

>>376885469
Because of:
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT'S HORSE "MAN" NOT HORSE WOMAN!!!
>THERE WAS NO FURY IN THE BIBLE, I EVEN CHECKED WIKIPEDIA

>>376883969
Best suggestion so far. Come on people "Hell hath no Fury like a woman scorned." ?

>>376863053
where can I read the comics?

>>376884168
Oh also Agony

>>376886038
Googling "Darksiders Comic" should do it.

>>376885347
>The elder Horseman considers the Keeper a kindred spirit and arguably the closest thing he has to a friend outside the Four Horsemen.

>It is not "death" you should fear.

>'hah, and what makes you so sure I have a soul, old one?'

>tfw getting my ass kicked by Silitha over and over

STOP FUCKING TELEPORTING YOU CUNT SPIDER

>>376888761
There must be some way to get close to her, horseman! :^)

>>376879560
No one gets to look upon the face of death

>>376866631
>He's just a really strong warrior who happens to be called death.
So what separates him from War then?

>>376888949
His powers. The Charred Council "super powered" each of the horsemen, and it manifests differently for each of them with the exception of them using their "wrath" to empower their abilities.

>>376889087
Yeah but war is also a really strong warrior who happens to be good at killing things, like death.

>>376871312
Lucifer has been pulling the strings of every major event so far. The council tried to stop him but did it by giving War the shaft, and now he's out for blood, his brothers (and sister) will likely aid him in taking them out in 5, then Lucifer will reveal that was his plan all along and now that there is nobody left to preserve the balance he will go off on a satanist crusade. Then game 6 is about taking him out and placing Samael as the head of Hell. He will agree to return to a neutral world state "For now", as an expression of "gratitude" for the horsemen helping him gain power.

Uriel will be the head of Heaven (aside from the creator himself, and maybe Michael if they choose to include him), she will fight with the horsemen from time to time over shit she is uniformed on, but will always end up more or less being on their side.

Series will end with the four horsemen replacing the charred council, with some quotable moment where they talk about their duty to preserve the balance.

>>376889263
Yeah? So?

They have different personalities from what we can tell, and looking at the way they fight should be enough to differentiate them.

Just finished DS1 yesterday, should I play regular DS2 or wait for another sale on the remastered edition?

>>376881948
Uriel
Azrael
Ulthane
Luke Skywalker
Demon Jew

Only correct answers considering you already confirmed we're debating for second place

Will I like Darksiders II if I enjoyed the first one but wasn't too thrilled about it?

>>376881948
I want to like Uriel, but she doesn't have much of a personality. So I think it goes to either Ulthane or Azrael.

I lied, the best is the Watcher.

>>376885347
based on that description of the keeper, he's likely not going to show up until the sequel to the whole series so far. The council will send him to keep the horsemen from killing the council, and he will work in a role similar to Uriel from DS1, where he tries to stop you throughout the game, only to join your side by the end. But he will die, saving the horsemen.

>>376889683
It's been awhile since I've played DS2, but from what I remember
More RPG elements
Longer Dungeons
DLC
Good story
Great music
I enjoyed it a lot anon, I encourage you to give it a whirl.

>>376889365
Creator's supposedly absent, and come on Gabriel or Raphael would be better. Hell even Azrael would. Uriel would lead the hell guard like Abbadon but her wings aren't nearly fancy enough to lead angels.

>>376889683
Some people hate loot and backtracking, but I absolutely adored it more than the first game

>>376863053
>tfw you will never have 4 tanks to take down the Four Horsemen in Naxxramas ever again.

>>376890306
Michael was always the closest to God, and basically the second mate of heaven. But really any of the archangels would do. And whether or not Uriel would suck at it doesn't really matter, she's an established character from the series whose already had interactions with two of the horsemen. She will clearly be playing a major role in the future of the series. Since the hellguard is basically the only glimpse of Heaven we've had (other than lostlight and eden), they will likely be the most prominent aspect in the future as well. Maybe spin it along the lines of Heaven has declared a police state where the hellguard has taken over command due to the endwar happening.

>>376872568
The same publisher maybe, but Vigil is gone.

>>376890505
That's only if they decided to draw heavily upon the named archangels to fill it out and if Strife ends up exploring heaven. God I hope he does. I will agree with your sentiment regarding Uriel, I can also see Azrael working with her since he seems to be so supportive and in a weird position like Lilith just more hands-on. Only for Uriel it wouldn't be really a police state, more of a "Holy shit you're the most experienced one so everyone eventually looked to you as the leader"

>>376889683
combat has more depth but the enemies don't so there's never any reason to use anything but your most basic combo with occasionally dodging
death is a better character than war
music is better

game is 100% errand boy shit, terrible
pacing is shit
cancer diablo style loot
big ass empty maps

Overall it's way worse than the first game. But if you cared about the setting, this has a bunch of worldbuilding and shit.

>>376890774
Yeah, police state was just the first term that I thought got the idea across, but basically just she's the head of heaven's defenses, and in war time they basically have the most influence over the entire kingdom.

I don't even think you need to wait for Strife to visit Heaven, the amazon bullet points about DS3 say she's going to travel to both Heaven and Hell. That could just be ad speak for the setting of the entire game universe, and she'll just be relegated to Earth for the whole thing, but I'm being optimistic and hoping we get to pay them both a visit in this game.

If not they'll definitely be a major part of the post DS1 games.

Also, Azrael betrayed the balance and War incinuated that he would be coming back to kill him dead. Uriel likely knows of his conspiracy by now (he hasn't exactly been hiding his guilt) so he's probably in lockup or something. I do like his character, though, so I'd like to see him have a prominent role again.

>>376883452
Gonads & Strife

>>376883452
Wrath will be one of the sins.

>>376891003
If Fury goes into heaven, it'll probably be a mix of one and two where it's like one Sin managed to get up there and masquerade as an angel for a while. I could see Envy being that sin or Pride but unless they do something where the mid-point has her starting to look into the council's shit, it'll probably just be a quick visit to Heaven then back to earth+hell.

True enough regarding Azrael but just everything surrounding him makes it seem like he's the angelic version of Lilith. Most likely knew about the destroyer's plot before Abbadon, didn't know what it was but just knew something was up. Got suckered into Lilith's little chess match at the start of one which caused him to get more serious about finding shit out and led to his presence in 2. It'll be interesting to see him in 3 if he pops up. I guess a better equivalent for him would be Samael.

>>376891008
holy shit what an ancient reference.

Fury will be on something like rage or anger.

Strife may be on something optimistic. His guns are named mercy and redemption, so maybe they'll keep that antithesis theme going? Something like Retribution maybe?

So is this roughly the Darksiders timeline?

>DS1 starts, War gets imprisoned.

>DS3 starts, Fury is charged with hunting down the Seven Deadly Sins.

>DS2 starts, Death wants to help War.

>DS1 continues, War fights against the Hellguard.

>DS2 ends, Death sacrifices himself to revive humankind.

>DS1 ends, War breaks the last seal, summoning all horsemen, basically reviving Death.

>>376891861
Wasn't War imprisoned for a very long time?

>>376891946
100 years

>>376891946
Yea, in DS2 The Chancellor (Land of the Dead) alludes to this, stating that War's Soul is being tortured in the Abyss.

>>376891861
It's more like:
>DS4, Strife does something that causes him to leave his guns behind with Ulthane and in the Forgelands. May be dead

>DS1 starts, War gets imprisoned.

>DS3 starts, Fury is charged with hunting down the Seven Deadly Sins.

>DS2 starts, Death wants to help War.

>DS2 ends, Death sacrifices himself to revive humankind.

>DS3 ends, Fury's probably dead

>DS1 continues, War fights for vengeance

>DS1 ends, War breaks the last seal, summoning all horsemen, basically reviving Death and possibly Fury+Strife

Going off of what's seen in the two anyway.

>>376891861
Is the time between Death encountering Samael in 2 and War encountering Samael in 1 really so short? He was definitely imprisoned by the Destroyer before War goes back to Earth after the prologue, but I thought Death ran into him near the end of 2?

>>376891315
Wait was he in 2? It's been awhile since I've played it, but I don't remember him showing up.

>>376892114
Yeah. It probably took twenty to thirty years for Hell's vanguard to steamroll the Hellguard and crush the kingdom of Man

>>376892162
Azrael? Oh yeah, he shows up helps out Death. Death talks him into doing some stuff. I can't quite remember if it's near the end or in city of the dead but the whole well of Souls business means he shows up

>>376892114

The final dungeon of Darksiders 2 involves time travel, and you fight Samael in the past version of his home (I think), so really that just means that Death traveled back to before his imprisonment.

If I'm wrong and the fight is in the present, then yeah whatever I guess DS2 just basically takes place entirely near the beginning of War's imprisonment.

>>376872720
War has the highest Strength and Death has the highest Endurance. Then what stat do Fury and Strife have?

>>376892447
Fury is INT and Strife is DEX. Fucking duh.

>>376892447
Fury has dex in the sense of being more acrobatic than Death and being a poster child for Trickster style. You should know Strife. Strife has the highest guns

>>376892492
Then who has the highest CHA

>>376892556
The one with tits, obviously.

>>376892556
Death. He's the leader.

>>376892556
Strife
>>376892407
Yeah you're right, Death uses time fuckery to smack Samael. Still DS2 takes place during War's imprisonment maybe just ending after War is free. They're not really clear since they show Death sacrificing himself and then bam DS1 ending iirc

>>376879310
You're retarded

>Leader of the horsemen
>Manages to get the crowfather to help him on three separate occasions, despite being a dick to him at all times (Gives him the lantern of souls dooming him to an eternity of wailing screams of the nephilim, then kills him but manages to get him to open a portal to the Maker's realm anyway. THEN gets his fucking ghost to help him get into the tree)
>Friendly disposition with Uriel
>Gets something from Samael without having to do him a favor first (kicks his ass instead, but still for Samael to concede is not in his character)

Yeah you're right, what can't that fucker do

>>376892773
Convince his kin to not conquer

>>376870908
You forgot to mention the giant ass abyss-powered ice dragon and the demon lord Belial from the additional campaigns.

>>376892859
Abyss-powered ice dragon's about on the same level as Dragon Sephiroth

>>376891982
>>376892101
>Death waited 100 years before going out to help his brother
Slow poke

>>376892664
Yeah the ending scene is Death jumping into the well, followed by the monologue declaring his death not to be the end, cutting away to the DS1 ending. Doesn't explicitly say anything about time that has passed, but it sort of implies that both final battles happened at the same time.

>>376863053
Why is he holding his mace upside down

>>376892962
Speaking of scenes, the intro to Samael's fight makes it seem like either Samael is aware of the future of War's imprisonment already happened.

>>376871185
anon meant the The Griever
where you get the Tremor Gauntlets or whatever they were called
right after the angel killing competition with Ulthane

>>376892859
>Belial
what a fucking lame ass fight and level that was

>>376863053
If the devs ever manage to survive long enough to make all 4 horsemen games then make a final game, how will they handle the horsemen?

In both games so far, they have implied that the horsemen were not at their full strength (War is explicitly cucked by the council, stripped of most of his powers, only regaining a fraction over the course of the game, and Death is working outside of the council's orders, and is alluded to also be weaker as a result by the chancellor or king of the dead, I forget which.)

How will they show them at full power in the big joint games, or will they just write in something to weaken them again?

>>376893052
Throughout the series, Samael is seen to have a bizarre sense of knowledge of events that he has no way of knowing (He somehow witnessed War fighting the chosen despite being nowhere near the areas where the fights are). He also knows that Abbadon is the destroyer, and that Azrael and Ulthane helped him. It is implied that he has a level of near omniscience, which is what makes him a threat to Lucifer and is the main reason for his imprisonment in the first place.

>>376893293
Well, there's a hint of how that might work in the prologue of Darksiders 1. War has unlimited Chaos Form until the horn sounds the first time.

>>376893293
Depending on when they get all four finished out and packaged and make a fifth one, I could see them actually using trophy/cheevo data in a similar manner that DS2 uses it to give you the DS1 items. Only instead of one off items, it's the horsemen starting out at max health/wrath of the first games in full abyssal armor or something. Maybe just full abyssal armor from the start and the whole reason to get health/wrath upgrades is because of Council fuckery since War will obviously tell his siblings what happened. As for their super forms, I could see them doing a kind of Bayo type thing where all their attacks have a superimposed attack from their mega form. Of course, considering the bosses for five would be on a truly primordial level I can see it being something like every boss causes them to stay in super mode for the duration of the boss fight/damage phase.

>>376893690
>Superimposed super form for attacks
Death has that for a few of his scythe combos already, so I could see this being expanded.

Basically I expect them to do something like what you said, where they are all super powered up like they are at the ends of their games, but the class of enemy they go up against is now so much more powerful that it just balances out.

>>376893871
Death's evade also ends up getting that too, although compared to War it seems like Death is more in tune with his. Could've just been design scopes being different between the games though instead of in-game reasons.

Man War's counter-attack would've been so much better if he flashed into Chaos form for the retaliation.

>Fury and Strife
>not Famine and Pestilence
>implying there's a difference between Conquest, War, Strife and Fury

Fucking dropped. Famine and Pestilence would have been so easy to design instead of copypasta. They're already stealing the gameplay from Zelda and God of War, and now they can't even come up with some original character work? Make Famine the whip user (tongue) with some edgy Kirby mechanics, and make Pestilence a jolly fat nigger with a permanent minion entourage (plays like Overlord, looks like 40k's Nurgle).

If I can come up with at least this much in less than 2 minutes for the purpose of shitposting on a Latvian vuvuzela appreciation board, then these hacks have zero excuse and will NOT be receiving my money for their terrible game.

>>376894030
I think that has to do with the council limiting War's power. Death gains his true form as a result of leveling up, and it gets more powerful as it goes along. War is literally on a leash by the council, and all his powers are basically only allowed to him at their command. The only reason he even gets chaos form at all is because Samael intervenes.

Death is working outside of the Council's directive, so it's implied that he's only as strong as he was before they made their deal with the council. However, during the game as Death runs around, he gets experience from fighting and ends of being NATURALLY strong enough to use some of the powers that he used to need the council to give to him. Presumably this means that with the full power restored he'll be even more absurdly powerful.

>>376894290
True enough, I wonder if Fury will get boosted because she's working under the council's purview. Oh man now that would make for an interesting twist. The first two Fury has an easy time dealing with because she's empowered by the council, so she's like as strong as death at the end of 2 or stronger. Does something in defiance of the Council and they hamstring her while expecting her to go kill the other five sins leading her to having to go through typical growth and leading to her siding with War with minimal convincing.

>>376884763

Bayonetta was a successful hack and slash game with a female protag, have some faith.

So far all we've seen is really early alpha footage anyway, there's a long way to go before the game gets here.

>>376894050
One could argue that Death is a redundant horseman, since war, famine, and pestilence lead to death.

>implying you ever picked this shit up in the first place

It has always been War, Death, Fury, and Strife in the Darksiders series. Why are all these retarded fuckers coming out of the woodwork to complain about famine/pestilence/conquest now?

>>376895001
I think of Death as specifically being death by fate (as in old age or accident), especially since the Grim Reaper as classically depicted has a hermeneutic association with Father Time. Together that covers just about every way you can die in an autism pleasing way.

>>376895519
Beacuse they are /pol/tards who only know of the game because MC is a woman.

Why were the side characters in Darksiders 2 so unmemorable compared to the first game?

Everyone remembers Abaddon, no one remembers Archon Lucien.

Everyone remembers the Watcher, no one remembers Dust.

Everyone remembers Ulthane, no one remembers Valus & Alya.

The list goes on and on.
