They ruined Ulthane? What else did they fuck up?

>>15806003

Not every studio can be as brilliant as Falcom

>>15806033

>>15806003

Not buying your game.

At this point, is the Darksiders series worth picking up? or do i ignore it forever?

>>15806089

the first one is the best Zelda/God of War ripoff you'll ever find

the second is more of the same but dumbed down and padded with long horse riding segments across an likelly unfinished and rushed open world and a metric fuck ton of Diablo style loot farming

the third one is even more open world with lots of even dumber puzzles everywhere, i havfen't played it yet, nor do i plan to, i saw a video on youtube where Fury met Ulthane and the last remaining humans and it was enough topush me away from it

i'd say go for the first one and maybe the second one if you really have absolutelly nothing better to play, the third… i don't know how much worse than the previous 2 it is gameplaywise but the lore rape of Ulthane tells me everything i need to know about the quality of the writting

>>15806089

I liked what I played of 2 before a fucking jump point refused to spawn and I had no way to progress.

>>15806089

I wish. Games have been getting worse and worse.

>>15806089

I played the first one and liked it a lot.

I didn't like the second one much and never finished it. I found the loot system unsuitable to the game.

>>15806089

I liked the first one. It had a charm and it was like a cross between Zelda and DMC, a middle point between Zelda's overly simplistic combat and DMC's lightning fast balls to the wall combat. It was close to my personal sweet spot since I was never a DMC god. The sequel fucked it all up with endless Diablo loot for some fucking reason, in addition to running like garbage while he first one gets a rock solid 60 FPS.

>>15806089

They're great, the RPG stuff was not needed in the second one. However its still an enjoyable experience.

Go meme it up somewhere else.

Darksiders 1&2 are better Zelda games then the recent Zelda games and I'd give them both a try.

Solid Snake

>be the main character

>the whole series has your name attached to it.

>Get through the first game and end on a note of hope, about rising above your genetic destiny and becoming your own person.

>Next game, get replaced by some blondie twink, you’re only peripheral to the main story.

>Third game is a flashback about your dad, you only appear in a non canon sidegame catching monkeys.

>fourth game, you become an old man who’s given up on the world, the hot girl you saved in the first game has left you for the pants shitting loser joke character. You sacrifice everything to live as a kissless virgin with your weeaboo buddy and the little girl you got back.

>your creator thinks you’re boring and a bad protagonist so he switches to fellating your dad

>the series may as well be called Metal Gear Big Boss.

>you die offscreen and your soul inhabits a sword that is used by the twink from the second game who has become a cyborg.

>>15807024

>your soul inhabits a sword

Explain this? Is this something from mgsv or did I miss something in mgs4?

>>15806089

Played 1 and 2 before, playing them again before getting to 3.

1 is decent but gets really dull towards the end. Very small weapon variety, enemies have some cool attacks/patterns but take too long to go down even with powerful sword and lots of moves. War moves very, very slowly which doesn't help the game either. No NG+ so you better grab everything in one run of the game.

2 I remember being good but its open world RPG approach is off putting.

All the Halos after 3 are the epitome of lore rape and character assassination

>>15806003

This. Long live JRPGs.

>>15807024

That is because Kojimbo is a fraud. When Fukushima left, Kojimbo's shitty ideas were implemented, and the result was lore rape.

>>15807405

The solution: kill the jews, shitskins and some of the women.

>>15807342

it's from rising, if I remember it's from the japanese version

>cos no way in hell he can kill them as fast as you with his meele weapon

But that's exactly what I did.

Everything made by Blizzard post WoW's release.

Just a reminder that the events of DS3 is before DS1, he grow balls later when he stops being a nanny.

The nigger is actually not a nigger but a horsemen in disguise.

Darksiders 2 had best gameplay. Darksiders 1 had best story. Darksiders 3 gives you the best feeling: wanting to replay DMC3/4 and uninstall.

>>15808110

>the events of DS3 is before DS1

So, Ulthane immediatelly recognizes Fury as a hersewoman with just a glance but he can't recognice War later on without looking at his sword?

>>15807986

>how the fuck did they manage to justify this shit story wise?

They didn't. The sword he refers to is purely a goofy unlockable with no story to it, whatsoever.

>>15808136

Well, keep in mind that War lost all of his powers on DS1 at the beginning. He is, after the tutorial, a prisioner of the Council for 100 years. During these years it's when DS3 happen, DS2 as well but continues even after the 100 years of War being in prison and ends a bit before the ending of DS1.

Probably Ulthane, after being a nanny and losing his friends and the humans he was protecting, he would have been for a hundred years being rather pissed off at anything that comes his way and would not expect another horseman to come along, even less one without his powers thus Ulthane would have not been able to "detect" War until he saw his sword.

Mind you, I'm not trying to protect anything of how mediocre 3 is or if they fucked up here and there, but lorewise it seemed alright. I would have loved a much better female character instead of a big ass fucking cunt of a woman that looked out of a poor Dominatrix porn movie.

>>15806806

Either you can claim that since Todd Howard is game director the constant lore rape is his responsibility, or you can claim that the constant lore rape isn't his responsibility because he's a completely incompetent game director who does literally nothing.

>>15806806

With that said, Pete Hines definitely has no responsibility for it whatsoever. He's the PR lead at Zenimax, not an actual game developer. The PR lead who spends all his paid company time getting angry at fans on Twitter.

>this character isn't consistent

>this character isn't good just because it's consistent

get better bait, you're de-baiting yourself, not even worth a (you)

>>15809421

>I have no idea about Ys let me address shit that doesn't happen

>>15809497

He's right though, the protagonist of every ys game is so similar that consistency is basically a given. This is based on my knowledge of having played exactly 0 ys games by the way so it's basically fact.

>>15809497

But I'm not wrong though, am I?

<<15809464

>reinforcing his previously moved goalpost from consistent character to complex character

>pretends he didn't understand I purposefully misused the replying code in order to avoid giving him a free (you) and ends up doubling down on looking stupid

still not getting a (you) from me

>>15806127

speaking of which, there was no reason just to have Caesar's Legion in just 1 FUCKING Fallout game. F3 would've been ten times better with it being introduced then.

>Metal Gear Solid 4

>Para-Medic, the cute doctor who wanted to found a paramedic service to save lives, turns out to be Dr. Clark, a sadistic mad scientist who tortured Grey Fox with inhumane experiments.

>Psycho Mantis, who repented his evil ways with his last breath, says he was just kidding about it when he comes back as a ghost.

I hate what that game did to those characters, it's like if George Lucas decided to make another Indiana Jones movie where Indy is in prison for child molestation and his son, Shia LeBouf has to bust him out of jail and, in order to escape the police, they have to go back in time to the 1940's and break into Adlerhorst to steal Hitler's drug stash.
