The Darkness haha

I just noticed some similarites in The Darkness's main character and the movie Hostage with Bruce Willis. One of the three criminals (teenangers), the guy with the long hair, looks exactly like the main character from the Darkness. Does anyone else agree? Haha.

God, I hate that game. I don't know why anyone plays it. :[Making_Pudding

Agreed. It's godawful.

God, I hate that game. I don't know why anyone plays it. :[Making_Pudding

It has one of the best stories on the 360.

I don't mean to be condescending, but if I wanted no gameplay and a good story, I would watch a movie or read a book. The point of a game is interactivity; FUN interactivity. Good storytelling is only a bonus.

Not even BioShock can survive without it's gameplay.

I can't comment on The Darkness' story, since I saw very little of it, but my inital impression told me that the tale was an overly dramatic one.

'Course, this is only my opinion. There are people out there who enjoyed the gameplay.

To answer your question and not just whine about your choices in games (as seems to be the norm around here) yeah he does look a little similar. Would have been interesting to see what Bruce Willis would have done if that kid pulled some heart eating tentacles out his backside!!!Hawkeye747

Cynical. I like it. :D

EDIT: added emphasis.

it is quite terrible, i used 2 hav itKungFuStevie

Reason?

I thought you guys should know that I didn't reply to this thread simply to state that I dislike the game.

No one had replied to this topic, and it was near the bottom of the page. I thought it was a better post than the majority of the crap that's posted here, so I decided to give it an unorthodox bump. By doing so, however, I turned it into a crappy thread. Go figure.

I can't believe so many people hated The Darkness, definitely one of the best games of 2007, fantastic gameplay, fantastic story, everything was top-notch on that game. I can't believe so many people praise crap like CoD4 or Halo 3, and hate on awesome games like The Darkness. :(club-sandwich

I'm not a big Halo fan, but if you call Call of Duty 4 crap one more time, I'm pouring pudding down your pants. :x

It's all opinions I guess. Personally I thought The Darkness was good but way too short. I finished it in 2-3 sessions and it got insanely easy once you unlock the Black Hole power.

YES!!!!!!!!!! On my second play through I didnt even use Black Hole.... I would step out around a corner so they could see me, pop back in and just sit there waiting for the suckers.... throwing them after the impale was fun too!

Reason?

he does not like it why does he have to explain to you why he hates it.

[QUOTE="craigalan23"]

[QUOTE="KungFuStevie"]it is quite terrible, i used 2 hav itTX360

Reason?

he does not like it why does he have to explain to you why he hates it.

Because then i can understand why others disliked a game that i liked? I have a few things that i didn't like a whole lot about the game and i was just curious as to which things he didn't like. This forums is about talking about video games correct?

That movie was on the USA channel today.>

Since you have FFXIII all over your post, i can tell you're not a real gamer haha.

I'm confused by some of your comments. " I can't comment on The Darkness' story, since I saw very little of it, but my inital impression told me that the tale was an overly dramatic one." Can you explain? It sounds like you played the game for a couple of hours or less and then stopped.

I also dont understand when you said "if I wanted no gameplay and a good story, I would watch a movie or read a book." Then you say you can't comment on The Darkness Story?? How would you know if The Darkness has a good or a bad story then??

I rented the game and played it for a couple/three days. It was different. Not a big fan, I might rent it again.

Not trying to cause trouble, just wondering or confused, or both.

I would have to agree that it is easily one of the best 360 games. great Gameplay, Creative, Great Story, Multiplayer sucked I will admit, but one amazing game.

I'll address your concerns.

When I said, "If I wanted no gameplay and a good story, I would read a book", I was going by what dukebd699 said. It is his opinion that The Darkness has one of the best stories on X360, not mine. I was simply saying that a story is not enough to carry a game; it needs to be combined with decent gameplay to really shine. That is why we are game enthusiasts instead of literary enthusiasts. :P

I just noticed some similarites in The Darkness's main character and the movie Hostage with Bruce Willis. One of the three criminals (teenangers), the guy with the long hair, looks exactly like the main character from the Darkness. Does anyone else agree? Haha.

well since its based off a comic book, its probably supposed to look like that guy...

God, I hate that game. I don't know why anyone plays it. :[Making_Pudding

You should probably read all my posts on this thread before you go off on me.

...Really, the mentally-challenged shouldn't be allowed on forums.

i know right!!! u guys are weird, how can u not like the darkness's story?

At first, I thought you were just a simple idiot. Now, however, I see that we have only begun the explore the tip of the vast expanse that your stupidity covers. Please, let us not delve into your retardedness any longer.Making_Pudding

no one cares. i say this because, this whole post wasnt about what you thought of the darkness. it was about what the guy looked like.

No. You say this because you are quite obviously near-illiterate. I've told you once before to check my posts, but you fail to understand, so I'll make it clear for you.

This is what I said:

Making_Pudding

But if you want to play the stupid game, I'll ask you this: Can you prove that no one cares?

What I said seems to have triggered some emotion within people who enjoyed the game, going by the many mini-discussions I've had in this thread. That's evidence toward the notion that they actually DO care what I think.

I'll address your concerns.

When I said, "If I wanted no gameplay and a good story, I would read a book", I was going by what dukebd699 said. It is his opinion that The Darkness has one of the best stories on X360, not mine. I was simply saying that a story is not enough to carry a game; it needs to be combined with decent gameplay to really shine. That is why we are game enthusiasts instead of literary enthusiasts. :P

You realize that's only your opinion right? some of the best games ever created shined for their story, not the gameplay or graphics.

I realize that many games are praised for their story. I never said that stories were useless or unnecessary. I simply said that without decent gameplay, the story elements might be forgotten or ignored.

A great example of this is the game which this very thread means to discuss. I gave the game an honest chance. But I found the gameplay so unappealing that the story was reduced to a distant and vague distraction. So I stopped playing it.

Also, I didn't realize I needed to labal everything I said as my opinion. I'm the one who's saying it. You'd think it'd be obvious.

Is the darkness the game where the guy has demons in him or something? Where you go to your girlfriends house and watch Tv? If so, that game's campaign was amazingkrp008

I actually didnt like The Darkness that much, the story only had a few good parts, anyone that says its great doesnt know anything about good sotry plots, but you said that the story in a game means nothing if it doesnt have a deccent gameplay or graphics, any game can shine if it has at least 1 of 3 things, graphics, gameplay or story, just look at Gears of War, the gameplay isnt that good, the story sucks big time, but the graphics made it a great game, only a few games got to be great in these 3 things.
