I'm digging the game so far. I'm in the first dungeon, which seems to be pretty long, but I'm enjoying it.

By the way, if you're looking for DMC-level combat, you won't find it here.

I may end up getting this game sooner then expected. A friend of mine just picked it up, and has said he's got way to much on his plate to devote it any attention, and that I can borrow it. I'll see if I can put Bayonetta down long enough to give it a whirl. :P

Do you realize how immature you seem trolling on Bayonetta like that? It makes your opinion utterly invalid.

Without trolls, we wouldn't have an interesting Gamespot. Just tell the good sir that Bayonetta is way better than CoD4, JUST for him. And then he'll either retreat or go on some obviously humorous rant. :P

Man, I just died for the first time and noticed that my level four Chaos Eater and level two Reaper have been reduced to level three and level one. How is this possible?? Is this a glitch or do they actually lose power when you die? Anyone?

[QUOTE="Roland123_basic"]

[QUOTE="TheEldestGod"] I'd love to see a Zelda game on PS3 since Nintendo is apparently doing as little as possible to enhance the Zelda experience for their core fans. I want my Hyrule in HD! lol Anyway, I really think its a bit misleading to say this game is anything like Zelda. Sure there's chainshot type weapon and you have to earn new gadgets and gear to progress through the world, but the comparisons pretty much end there. And by that logic Batman Arkam Asylum was much more like Zelda than Darksiders. TheEldestGod

how... in the **** was Batman Arkham Asylum like Zelda AT ALL....?

there was literally ZERO comparisons in gameplay between the two.

batman = stealth based gameplay, combo based freestyle fighting system, comic book "modern era" setting, gadgets gadgets gadgets...

Zelda= action adventure, dungeon based, non-combo based fighting system, fantasy setting, ride a horse around and shoot arrows at things....

saying those two games are alike is like saying tetris is the same as mario... in the fact that they are both GAMES. Darksiders is VERY similar to zelda... infact i would say it is basically a REALLY BAD ASS version of zelda. it has chime music when you reveal passages for crying out loud.....

You're really not trying very hard to see other people's points of view, are you? People are comparing Darksiders to Zelda based soley on the methods of exploration. You can't get to certain places until you aquire a certain gadget. Ok, Link has an Ocarina.... War has the Earthmover horn... Batman has his code decrypter. Boomerang, crossblade, batarang. Hookshot, Abyssal chain, grappling hook. Bombs, bomb growth, explosive gel. ........... You get it, don't you? They are all on this big open map with their own versions of "dungeons" with big bosses that require a certain kick to a certain area a certain number of times to be beaten. They all got their puzzles and secrets and all that. Batman is VERY much like Zelda and Darksiders. It plays the same. Sure, their settings are different, but so are Darksiders and Zelda's. The only thing War and Link have in common are swords, horses, and hoods. Does that mean Assassin's Creed is just like Zelda, too?

totally untrue.....it has gadgets exactly like zelda, it also has dungeons that use said gadgets to traverse them EXACTLY like zelda. it has heart pieces exactly like zelda. it has a horse that you ride around on to get between areas like zelda. it has chime music that plays when you reveal passages exactly like zelda.... the comparisons go on. it is not simple "the game has gadgets that you use....". it is very blatantly inspired by zelda, it practically screams it in your face.

Yeah? Then so does Batman. Batman's gadgets are used the same way, dude. And I haven't heard any freaking chime music in Darksiders but Batman's decrypter plays a high pitched frequency to unlock doors. :P You're only saying that they are comparable based on the fact that they are fantasy games. If batman had a sword and a horse then it'd be the exact same. If you're refusing to acknowledge Batman's Zelda-inspired exploration and gameplay based on the fact that he doesn't have a horse and the doors don't sing then you're just purposely being difficult.

True true. Actually, if a statement like that is made without direct explanation it is considered trolling by GameSpot's TOS and can be modded. ;)

is apparently the same as me saying:

"they are comparable based on the fact that they are fantasy games."

reading comprehension ftw.... seriously. im pretty sure nowhere in those points did i even make a single comment about either being a fantasy game. i dont know how to illustrate that Darksiders is blatantly inspired by zelda any better dude.

and turn up your **** speakers, every time you do just about anything that opens a door, passage, makes a lever turn, put a key in place.... there is a very distinct chime.

finally, batman is not related to zelda due to the points i have already made. STEALTH being an integral part of the game (stealth has never been in zelda). free-form combo based fighting system (zelda has no real combos...you just swing your sword). batman has no real puzzles to speak of (zelda has puzzles GALORE). no mounted segments at all in batman (epona has been a mainstay in the series since LoZ:OoT).

after all of that, what are you left with.... the gadgets? ok admitedly the gadgets are similar. however, you cannot say two games are the same based on items when the raw gameplay is NOT similar. Zelda and batman play completely different and have different settings. one is a stealth game. the other is an action adventure game. come on man... they arent even in the same genre....

Don't be silly, man. I never said they were the exact same. My original point was Darksiders is no more like Zelda than Batman is. And its true. Zelda is a fantasy/adventure game and Darksiders is Sci-fi/action. C'mon, dude, they're not even the same genre! lulz

Sorry about that.

Anyways, keep supporting Darksiders... maybe this topic will regain its course once the game gets reviewed here.

Tell me, DrkS is separated by levels/chapters?, or its like a big world with various areas that remain inaccesible until you get an especial ability / key or something?.

Its the latter. Its not exactly open world but once you get to a certain point in the game you gain access to portals from one wretched area to the next.

who are you to say im being difficult on purpose lol... are you in my head? can you read my mind? no.... no you cant. you are wrong, that is why i am saying that i am saying. you are saying im being "difficult" because you dont agree with me and apparently are going to try to make me look bad by calling me "difficult". and darksiders sci-fi action? there is no sci-fi in the game whatsoever! lol... have you even played the game? your post is irrelevant right there... FYI... SCI-FI means SCIENCE FICTION.... here is a definition for you: "literary fantasy involving the imagined impact of science on society" there is no science in darksiders.... ZERO. there is religion and fantasy... not science. both zelda, and darksiders are listed under action-adventure. straight from wikipedia: "The Legend of Zelda​ (ゼルダの伝説, Zeruda no Densetsu) is a high fantasy action-adventure video game" "Darksiders is an action-adventure video game developed by Vigil Games" so.... they ARE the same genre.... "dude".

and turn up your **** speakers, every time you do just about anything that opens a door, passage, makes a lever turn, put a key in place.... there is a very distinct chime.

finally, batman is not related to zelda due to the points i have already made. STEALTH being an integral part of the game (stealth has never been in zelda). free-form combo based fighting system (zelda has no real combos...you just swing your sword). batman has no real puzzles to speak of (zelda has puzzles GALORE). no mounted segments at all in batman (epona has been a mainstay in the series since LoZ:OoT).

after all of that, what are you left with.... the gadgets? ok admitedly the gadgets are similar. however, you cannot say two games are the same based on items when the raw gameplay is NOT similar. Zelda and batman play completely different and have different settings. one is a stealth game. the other is an action adventure game. come on man... they arent even in the same genre....

Roland123_basic

Like I said, dude, you're being difficult on purpose. I only compared the games based on the exploration and gadgets. You cannot deny that they are similar? So where is your argument? How are they not the same genre? They're both action/adventure. Batman is not soley a stealth game. There's plenty of straight forward combat. You say they are disimilar because Batman has combos? Darksiders has combos, too. So maybe I should say Batman and Darksiders are a lot alike? Just because a game has a has a horse and another doesn't don't mean they can't be comparable in other ways. Don't be silly, man. I never said they were the exact same. My original point was Darksiders is no more like Zelda than Batman is. And its true. Zelda is a fantasy/adventure game and Darksiders is Sci-fi/action. C'mon, dude, they're not even the same genre! lulz

who are you to say im being difficult on purpose lol... are you in my head? can you read my mind? no.... no you cant. you are wrong, that is why i am saying that i am saying. you are saying im being "difficult" because you dont agree with me and apparently are going to try to make me look bad by calling me "difficult". and darksiders sci-fi action? there is no sci-fi in the game whatsoever! lol... have you even played the game? your post is irrelevant right there... FYI... SCI-FI means SCIENCE FICTION.... here is a definition for you: "literary fantasy involving the imagined impact of science on society" there is no science in darksiders.... ZERO. there is religion and fantasy... not science. both zelda, and darksiders are listed under action-adventure. straight from wikipedia: "The Legend of Zelda​ (ゼルダの伝説, Zeruda no Densetsu) is a high fantasy action-adventure video game" "Darksiders is an action-adventure video game developed by Vigil Games" so.... they ARE the same genre.... "dude".

Haha! This is hilarious! Your sarcasm detector is apparently broken. I know its not sci-fi, I was just trying to be difficult like you. Batman Arkam Asylum is listed as Action/adventure, too. So looks like you were wrong, too. It IS the same genre, DUDE! I don't know how to make this anymore clear to you, buddy. The only point I am attempting to make is that Batman has similar exploration methods as Zelda via gradually aquired gadgets that grant access to places previously unaccessable. And each of these gadgets are extremely similar. This is undeniable. I've played and enjoyed all these games, so I think I know in what ways they are similar especially when it comes to the core exploration mechanics of the game! Chill, Roland, and stop straying from the original point just to make yourself right about something so irrelevant to it.

P.S. I appreciate the great lengths you've gone through just to be right. Wikipedia? Geez.

Do you realize how immature you seem trolling on Bayonetta like that? It makes your opinion utterly invalid.

omfg lololololololol that is the biggest load of bull **** i have ever seen. now you are just backtracking to try and lessen the damage. if you think that "omfg i knoooooow i was just doing it to be contrary" **** is going to fly... clearly you dont know the internet. im done with you. i have already proven my point anyhow.

and seriously... great lengths? apparently wikipedia is a mystery to you because it took me all of like 10 seconds to look both of those quotes up. those of us that make intelligent remarks typically include facts/data to back up our claims...

I find it kinda funny this thread had more support then my DA:O offical question thread. :(

TheEldestGod

Sorry about that.

Anyways, keep supporting Darksiders... maybe this topic will regain its course once the game gets reviewed here.

Tell me, DrkS is separated by levels/chapters?, or its like a big world with various areas that remain inaccesible until you get an especial ability / key or something?.

Its the latter. Its not exactly open world but once you get to a certain point in the game you gain access to portals from one wretched area to the next.

Thanks.

Seriously, dude. You can believe what you want, but it was a direct stab at you. I'm sorry making a point is so important to you that'd you'd do it so gracelessly. If you think a word of anything you've said so far sounds intelligent then you're tragically mistaken. You're obviously not half as smart as you believe yourself to be. Anyone who uses that many lols in a row is just to childish to get it anyway. Peace be with you, brotha. You're impossible. :P

Actually I copied exactly what you said to sound childish like you did. I also thought it was appropriate since you've not comprehended a single thing I posted. I figured you were intelligent enough to see when someone is purposely being a pain in the butt. The smiley with the tongue hanging out was for you, too. lol

you certainly accomplished the childish part.... you get a big gold star for that. kids like gold stars right?

Duuude, just stop, your just making yourself look more and more jerk'ish. Both gotta learn when to stop.

Yeah, I know, but I just can't bare it sometimes to see people be such an arse when they are obviously the one who needs a good schooling. You're right, though. I'm done. ;)

I know this part of an argument. It's the part where the suffering party results to slinging small mud called insults. I say my job is done. lol I love the Valkyria fans here. They just have to call someone out on the bull, and the other side goes all angsty about it. lol

dont worry... around here people take anything anyone says that is contrary to their opinion as the person trolling... or just trying to be an ass rather that it being their opinion (valid or not). dont bother arguing with them, apparently all of the VC lovers in this thread deserve eachother. "OMFG DONT DIS ON MY GAME OR SAY ANYTHING THAT I DISAGREE WITH OR I WILL HAVE TO NERGASM ALERT DEFCON ONE ON YOU!!!!" that is pretty much what im seeing in here...

Dude, you're just a straight up ridiculous. Nobody said anythign remotely similar to that horrible quote of yours. You're so immature. Kids like gold stars right? Well, here's a gold star you can shove up your..... "HAHAHA OMMMGGMGG LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!! THAT GUY REPEATED ME TO SOUND SMART CAUSE IM SO SMART! AND I KNOW ALL ABOUT THE GAMES AND AS LONG AS THEY DON'T GOT NO HORSES THEN THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE ZEEELLLDDAAAA!!!" Goofball. lulz

hey how does that have anything to do with what you quoted?

or he could just like it more than bayonetta... which makes you the troll.

I'll try to simplify this for you as best as I can. Seems to be necessary to get through. This is a thread about DARKSIDERS. It's not a "Darksiders or Bayonetta?" thread, or anything of the like. The mere bringing up of Bayonetta in a derogatory sense is 100% unnecessary, unwarranted, and is in fact, trolling. Deliberately making a post, with intent to incite argument.

KK so the 8.0 is in and the thread isnt locked from off topic or angry posters lol. I just finished watching the review and had a couple of chuckles. Overly complicated controls. Well if they were not complicated then the review would have said "repetitive". Plus I really laughed when i was watching him try to multi-target some objects, which he fails to do 3-4 times. During this I keep thinking "if hed only step to the left a little bit" so after the failed attempts he actually steps a little to the left and completes his goal. LOL newbs. Any thoughts? Sucks 360 has those issues, seems like its something possibly patched up? Im not flaming so no flaming responses from fanboys!

Reviews for Darksiders are all over the place. I would rent it first if you're unsure. From the looks of it, it looks a solid 8.0-9.0 game.
