We all knew it was either going to be Strife or Fury. Look at it this way, at least we'll have the final game with our edgy gunslinger instead of firewhips. Graphics don't look all that impressive though.

Play the first one then the second one so you don't end up like the guy below you. I can't say what the later release of the first one adds as I've only played the original on 360, but you can play any version of Darksiders 2. The DLC is all cosmetic (armor sets you find) or separate from the story (launched from the main menu at that), and I didn't notice any major graphical or gameplay changes that merited buying it a second time.

I too am excited for Darksiders 4.
What with Strife's choice of weapons, I'm thinking it may be a FPS. Kinda like Borderland's RPG/FPS system only better.
Like finding scythes in DS2, you find different kinds of guns instead (snipers, rifles, revolvers etc...).
Or maybe it will be a choice, like in Serious Sam, where you switch between views.
Of course it's more likely to be something like Bayonetta which is undoubtedly also great, but a FPS take on it wouldn't be as bad as you might think. After all, cringy writing aside, Borderlands' gameplay was a lot of fun.
Also keep in mind that a total change in gameplay is not something exactly unheard of, in fact you could argue that, with the radical changes DS2 underwent, DS1 and DS2 are quite different game genres, with DS2 more on the RPG side and DS1 being a bit of a GoW clone.

>>387577193
Absalom and death were such hotties. Unf~

>>387577193

Nothing in Darksiders 2 was challenging if you took advantage of the possessed weapon dropping glitch desu.

I spent the whole game with level 8 scythes doing 2000+ damage.

>>387576045
Fury is super boring. War, Death, and Strife are these big badasses with distinct and iconic appearances, and then Fury is just a hot chick. Nothing about her stands out. Darksiders 3 should be about Strife.

The biggest letdown of Darksiders is at the end when you kill the Watcher, I really thought the Watcher was going to be the final boss where you just fucking beat him down for all the shit he gave you the whole game, but War just kills him in a cutscene. What a missed opportunity

Agreed, they should have at least let it be a QTE. After all the manipulation and shit-talking, you just get to watch it.

They should have gone full GoW3 and just had a button mashing segment of War beating him into a greasy stain.

First one is a slightly above average God of War/Zelda hybrid with neat lore and worldbuilding. Second one is the same conceit with RPG elements added, and it's GOTY material.

>>387578568
It really depends on your taste. They're both passable beat em ups, like 6/10s. If you really like the art style and world though it will easily bump them up to 8/10 for you.

>>387578649
They're both meh games don't lie to the man just because you like them

>>387578568
they are solid action western rpgs with honest to goodness level design, but cursed for being released at the time they were.

you see, when they were released, they were labeled "zelda clones" by ignorant western gaming journalists and kind of brushed aside. Now? Well now we live in the age of linear as fuck games, so I think people are appreciating the darksiders games now. Think of them as western games attempting to sort of ape japanese game/level/puzzle design.

give them a shot if you want something that has zelda style puzzles/level design, but with a cuhrazy combo based combat system.

>Best song in the game

>>387578568
if you like exploring, some light back tracking, collecting stuff, a sprinkle of puzzle solving, and beat em up action they're nice games.
ds1 is great, warmastered version was outsourced to china but it came out okay.
ds2 would be great but is still marred by technical problems. deathinitive is abandoned on pc and still random crashes and sometimes hard freezes on ps4. damn shame.

>>387578891
>tfw never had any issues with the original ds2, which I got for free when THQ was dying

I should probably finish that game.

>>387578568
First one is uninspired and painfully monotonous. A lot of the puzzle concepts drag on for too long, so if you're not into puzzles avoid this like the plague.
Second is far better but still carries alot of Zelda collectathon baggage

>>387578891
what kinda pisses me off about ds2 on ps4, is that it's locked to 30 fps. ds1 on ps4 was 60 with only the occasional drop. since ds2 had identical graphics to ds1, I don't understand why the 30 fps. don't get me wrong, i fully expect 30 fps like 99% of the time on ps4, but the remasters are typicall 60 since they're just upjumped ps3 games, and ds2 being 30 when ds1 is 60 just mindfucks me.

i hope 3 keeps the secondary weapon system like 2. the claws, glaives, armblades, etc. were fun and had some awesome combos. i hope the whip isn't too op.

it was outsourced but it turned out okay and got a bunch of post release patches. when i played it the opening cgi movie would always freeze so i just skipped it. the rest of the actual game worked fine. and thankfully it has a toggle to turn chromatic nausea off.

>>387578891
>sometimes hard freezes on ps4
Actually about 1 or 2 months ago, they released a new patch for any crash and pro supported.

>you can literally pinpoint where they ran out of money/time in DS2

Shame. DS1 was decent. DS2 was legitimately fun, combat, movement, and dungeons all improved. New item system was meh at best, very ME1 esque in its flaws. End of the game was shit, but as I said, you can tell they were ramping up to something but ran out of resources.

Here's hoping Nordic continues the progress in DS3 and we'll have a good and/or great game on our hands.

These games are great because if there's anyone who is excused for being grandiloquent assholes with too much to say and too little will to listen, it's biblical folklore characters.

Funniest part was that if you didn't activate the context sensitive actions you could get completely ridiculous combos out of him just sitting there.

Yeah, it does look underdesigned. Maybe her appearance changes after some points in the game or something.

>>387576045
It looks ok, but I hate that Fury's design just looks like a female version of War. Her hair should be made of fire at least.

>>387576045
Me either, but it has nothing to do with story/gameplay. I fucking love Darksiders. I got the comics, the book, fucking everything. But the two "remasters" after the THQ went tits up broke my faith for 3. They are broken, glitchy messes. DS1 isn't too bad, it's mainly audio-sync issues, and I think it crashed maybe once while I play it through. DS2 though, oh my god. It crashed AT LEAST once an hour, if not more. Getting through the Arena in one go was not possible do to the crashes. Got my platinums for both and will never touch them again. Stick with PS3 if possible.
