Why do you think it compares favorably to TP?_tetsuo_ said:It compares quite favorably to Twilight Princess. As far as the best Zelda's go that kind of goes without saying.

canova said:Considering that this is Vigil's first game and people already mentioned it in the same sentence as Zelda is a huge compliment.

Zefah said:Ok I just put in about an hour and fuck this game is awesome. It has a distinctly "old school" vibe to it that reminds me of gaming from the Playstation / N64 days. I love the controls and how the combat (while fairly simple) feels. The art style is also great and I am enjoying the story for what it is. The game just has a really good feel to it that is hard to describe with words.
I'm really glad that in 2010 we can still have games of this style. This probably sounds stupid, but this really feels like a gamer's game and doesn't seem like it is trying to throw in some "next-gen" gimmick just for the sake of it.
So far my only complaints are that there is a bit of screen tearing and some frame rate drops, but nothing too terrible so far. Also, how does the save system work? I went to the data tab in the options and saved my game before quitting, but will I pop out right where I saved or at the beginning of the area? Can I save pretty much anywhere in the game?
I'm going to check out Bayonetta now, but I just wanted to pop in and post my initial impressions while Bayonetta is installing. I am really looking forward to playing some more Darksiders.

Firestorm said:It's not the beginning of the dungeon like a certain game we all know at least. I just got the Lens of Truth and am on the Triforce Hunt now =/ Did they really have to copy that part?
Yeah this isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Shards all seem to be right beside Vulgrim locations thankfully. Although I did miss two locations and am having to travel there now. Also stupid that it won't show you the shard on the map unless you already got Vulgrim in the location =/ZealousD said:Getting all the shards takes less than an hour. Probably closer to 30 minutes. As far as fetch quests go, Darksiders is tame.

If you're simply comparing them as games, and not as Zelda games, it's certainly anyone's opinion which is better. But as a "Zelda experience", which is how I'm relating to it, it holds up rather poorly.

Which game has the better overworld? That´s more important regarding "being a Zelda experience".

Q8D3vil said:just finished it
what an amazing game
about zelda vs darksiders
i never was or i dont think i will be a zelda fan
but i enjoyed darksiders more than twilight princess
the puzzles in zelda were much more satisfying but everything else was boring and i got bored with it halfway through the game ( but i finished it anyway ). but darksiders , everything kept me interested to the end !!
plus there's is great potential in darksiders if their going to make another one
what i didn't like about darksiders is the soundtrack ( the opening was amazing but i could barely hear anything in the game )
_tetsuo_ said:What the hell Phil Lamar did Vulgrim's voice :lol . Dude has a serious talent for voice acting.
Twilight Princess is my least favorite 3D Zelda game and as a whole I had more fun playing Darksiders. TP is still great but it just felt like Zelda by the numbers kinda, if that makes any sense.
i remember doing that but couldnt hear the musicMMaRsu said:Should have turned down the sound effects and turned the music up. The soundtrack is great .
Hehehehe, I know what you mean about the finishing moves :lol. I didn't know that opening chest gives you immunity though, I'm alway worried that I am going to go to open one and get hit in the middle of opening it. I guess it's not like GoW where you get knocked outta opening one.Ninja Face said:Anyone else strategically opening chests/hitting the finishing move button on dudes for that brief moment of immunity? :lol

Dai Kaiju said:Okay, i'm getting frustrated.
I'm stuck at the part immediately after the first battle withthe griever. How the hell do you drain the water? Please tell me it doesn't involve breaking the ice with the hammer, because I don't have it and there's no way for me to get back up the huge pit you jump down a while before the griever battle. There's demonic growth to climb back up, but there ice preventing you from getting out.

Me too, untilEnigma777 said:Also, I kept hearing how this game was easy so I started it on Apocalyptic difficulty, and it was still easy until those damn phasing witches with the dual swords started to show up. They are kicking my ass over and over and over again! I've resorted to riding my horse and doing drive-by's... :lol
