Its shit.

>>14725361

It's pretty good especially if you like Zelda and God of War

It's ok.

the sequel is solid shit and the first one is not really worth a playthrough, either. knock it off the backlog by not playing it.

Don't listen to faggots that use sage as a downvote

It's a solid AA action game with some fresh setting and character ideas and gameplay ripped straight from Zelda. The second game is an unfinished mess.

I played Darksiders 1 Warmastered a few months ago, only got a few hours in. Its kinda fun with action and movement abilities, but I really, really got turned off by its 5 minute cutscenes every 2 minutes, its ugly (reminds me of Marvel/DC vibe which I hate more than most things) characters, and the story does not pull me in. It tries to be too in your face, its just boring. Another reason to kill X enemy demon thing, and oh it can talk (which doesn't matter because 99% of the time you will fight whatever it is). Monsters should not talk, at least in most instances. Its cringey, how the characters interact, too jewy in direction like the DC Marvel movies I stated earlier. I'm being very critical, most people aren't. The gameplay is fun, I may pick it up again later.

The way you move around in a dungeon feels 10 times worse than being in a Zelda dungeon. At least in Zelda you have an open world where you go to a specific element dungeon, in this game its just an undercity cave with a labyrinth of boring wall textures that you never want to go back into (which looks like they want you to backtrack to get upgrades - no thanks, game is too linear for me to run back to).

It's mediocre trash that 7th Gen shitters at cuck/v/ liked because DmC and Bayonetta were dead in the water.

Portal Dungeon is the best Zelda dungeon of all time.

It was fun.

I remember the first one was pretty long. Way too long for the variety in gameplay it had so I got bored from time to time, but it was still worth my purchase and I enjoyed the game. Never really got to play the second game

I enjoyed both on my PS3. First game is the more polished though; with DSII, by the time you reach the third world, it starts to get really clear how much THQ was breathing down Vigil's neck to get the game done, shipped, and sold.

>>14725361

Get the War and Death remastered versions, the sequel kinda fucked up with the very poorly implemented Diablo-style loot system that was just added to pad out the length of the game. But it's still pretty solid game.

>How's the replay value?

Go play it. If you like the combat, then there's some (in 2 there's some content unavailable on the first playthrough, too). If you don't, then not so much. I liked 1 enough, but I didn't replay it, but 2 has better combat, exploration and main character, so I'm trying out ng+ to try and get all the abyssal armour pieces.

Watcher was fun to hate.

>>14726451

I don't get what they were trying to do with him. The comic seems to try to make him somewhat sympathetic, with his sister being held hostage at all, but the game makes him completely irredeemable.

I wish they changed up the gameplay for each of the horsemen. Having them all just end up playing the same isn't going to help, they should have been a bit daring and mixed things up. War is a DMC/GoW type guy with Zelda progression of getting upgrades. Death should be something like a necromancer who can fight with his summoners and also cannot die, leading to something like Dark Souls or WoW to get back to your body. Fury should be like Lara Croft, platforming, puzzles, whip movement as well as fighting with the whip. Finally, Strife should be like Max Payne, Vanquish and Gunslinger from DMC rolled into one, one crazy TPS with a variety of guns.

>"I already played it, should I play it again?" -threads are now a thing

Shouldn't you just do what you did before and, you know, play the game to find out?

How badly will Darksiders 3 suck? I have zero faith in THQNordic.

And why did they go with this diablo loot shit in Darksiders 2? The game would have really benefited if Death had a bunch of weapons with their own movesets instead of heavy/light with some sub catagories which mean jack shit unless you really used those charged attacks. What the fuck was the point? Jesper Kyd's music and Joemad's art were the two redeeming things about that game.

Darksiders 3 is going to be shit, the fact that they covered Fury because "current year" speaks volumes already.

>>14728990

Darksiders, one as well as two, were weird mix up games that threw together a bunch of stuff without it ever feeling like they fit quite right. The loot really stood out in that game as not fitting, because of how easy it was to break the game using it. It was clear they threw in some stats without thinking, which led to you being able to get a 50% critical chance with very little effort.

They did the same with Spellforce 3. Gameplay is probably the best in the series, which really isn't saying that much, but the women were covered up, and they added nogs. They also added a lot of rape in the writing, I'm pretty sure because they were trying to emulate what everyone knows about GoT so they could make it seem "mature." They also throw in a mage persecution story, everything the circle mages accomplish that causes the world of Spellforce 1 to be such a shit hole was in fact created by an ancient culture of ayys with apparently South African accents, and the main character is a cross species rape baby.

It's alright. The first game had a neat mix of simple, fun combat and dungeons with dungeon-item-puzzles. A lot of people describe it as a mix of God of War and Zelda and they're mostly correct. The games also have a nice, consistent art style and world. It's nothing mindblowing, the PC version's controls for keyboard are comically bad (HOLD THE TAB KEY TO LOCK ON) and long play sessions can get monotonous.

The second game is a bit more iffy with lootshit and unnessecary bloat, but if you stick to the story rails it's not too bad.

>(HOLD THE TAB KEY TO LOCK ON)

Couldn't you have just pressed F to toggle it? I think you could because I remember being annoyed by lock-on sometimes.

I think THQ Nordic as a publisher is surprisingly well, but so far I don't really have faith in the devs. I'll welcome being proved wrong, but it just doesn't feel as killy as two previous games. Wish she used the whip mostly as a tool/secondary weapon, while wielding some big choppa in the other hand and just pulled enemies onto it with the whip.

As for her character, at least her skin isn't corpselike anymore. For her armour, it looks weird to me, as if her bare arms stuck out a rectangle. They should've made her half-naked or gave her stupid sexy armour, as it is it's not good at either thing.

>caring about her skin when her face looks like a tranny

I don't think it's a THQNordic thing but more of a cucked developer thing. Look at Joe Mad for reference, the guy doesn't shut the fuck up about Trump.

That's just like your opinion man. I feel all four of the dungeons had a unique atmosphere and the items you got were at least useful for a majority of the game except the portal gun. The first dungeon was a spooky gothic cathedral, the second was a underwater subway, the third was an old manor covered in the cobwebs of a giant spider and her brood, and the fourth dungeon is a giant ocean of ashes from the remains of humanity after the apocalypse. None of them were similar. You're just a faggot.
