Who here enjoyed The Darkness?

I personally loved it. Pre-ordered and picked it up on release day and was not disappointed. The gun play was kinda basic but it made up for it in the storytelling department. I was even moved by some of the more emotional parts of the story, not too many games have done that to me.

One of the only games that I watched a full movie in :lol:. The story was amazing and it is easily one of my favorites. The gun play was pretty basic but the powers and executions made up for that.

I really liked it. Although I wasnt too fussed on the "secondary" parts of the game (to avoid spoilers).Hotwire246

By far one of the few games this gen where I was moved and satisfied with the ending.

[QUOTE="RAMRODtheMASTER"][QUOTE="craigalan23"] Oh you mean the change of "scenery?" I thought those parts were pretty cool but one part was so ****ing hard and confusing when you move the bell. craigalan23

I felt like the first 2-3 chapters were truely great but after that the pacing took a huge dip in quality and the story + characters suffered because of it.

[QUOTE="craigalan23"][QUOTE="RAMRODtheMASTER"] I sat there forever trying to figure out how to get past that bell. The only reason I finally used the Demon Arm was because I got pissed and wanted to hit it. That bell should have a clue on it or something.RAMRODtheMASTER

This was a game I was on the fence about buying for a while, and then my friend got it for me for my birthday so I figured I might as well try it, and it far exceeded my expectations. Great game. The story was good and the Darkness powers were a lot of fun to use. I also agree with the "other parts" you guys are talking about. I had a lot of trouble on that too at first.

[QUOTE="RAMRODtheMASTER"][QUOTE="craigalan23"] Haha I thought I was the only one. I kept trying to use the snake power(I forgot that name). Though I was referring to the part after it that was pretty difficult.craigalan23

Very fun game, with a very underrated story.

Haha same here I guess the game was a little confusing for a few people. :lol:

It had an amazing story with rich character development driving the narrative. The gameplay was fun, slightly unique, and very immersive. Everything kept you in-game, in the world, which made it feel like a very cohesive interactive experience where you were really living the role.

I just started it and right now I'm at the point where you go to the Green Olive Resturant place after you leave Jenny's place. I love it so far.

couldnt get over the mechanics but i only had it for 4 days may have not given it enough time

I never finished it but I really liked what I played. This is one game I will be picking up cheap at some point.

I personally can't wait for the sequel of this game whenever it may come out. It was undderated amongst other gamers I think, as you hardly ever hear anyone talk about it, but when someone mentions it everyone says it's awesome. It has low status and yet had to be one of the best games that I've played for the X360. I was surprised it was so good, actually, as I was expecting it to be quite average.

Maybe that's the key to success. Have a low-key game and everyone will have such an average expectation for it that it'll play out great.

Absolutely loved it. Great story, great characters, solid gameplay. Also, it felt badass to walk down the street manacingly, throw your demon arm up in the air to smash a steetlight, and see the fallen glass falling past the screen.

I picked up this game pre-owned, mainly because it was cheap, and I was amazed at how enjoyable it was. The storyline was fantastic, the characters were believable, and the gameplay was spot on.

There were so many little things that made it so enjoyable, like the executions, the way the Darkness heads snap at you and each other, the semi-free-roaming nature of the game...and those little gremlin things you could summon.

I traded it in, but I might go get another copy....probably even cheaper now :P

I still lol at the old tourist that has you play the coin "game" on the subway rails. She's more evil than the darkness me thinks.

Also, IMO the voice acting was only second to Mass Effect... it just immersed you even deeper.

At some point did anyone else feel like they were playing Escape from Butcher Bay with a different setting/antihero?

I laughed so hard when I got to the credits and saw Mike Patton from Faith No More was the voice of the Darkness. Fitting.Mau-Justice

He really DOES nail the role.. hahaha

I loved the game. The Darkness had the most touching moment in a game i have ever encountered, Followed by a jaw dropping heart wrenching one. I really want a 2nd one to come out.
