DARKSIDERS |OT| More like Zelda than God of War
- Thread starter ZealousD
- Start date
hdn said:Been busy lately, so haven't checked in for a day or so, but to answer your question, YES, we have discussed a sequel. Obviously, how Darksiders sells will impact on if there's an actual sequel developed though.
The latest vg-chartz show a decent first week.
awesome for sequel!
This franchise has a lot of potential. I love it. My only complain is that the Black Throne puzzles are too difficult :lol I just want to kill the end boss already
About sale number, had you guys advertise this game a bit more, you'd have better sale number. There's plenty of people found out about this game just one or two weeks before release. And most people who've played it have good reviews

Just beat the game last night, and...wow.
I really don't see how anything except maybe Mass Effect 2 or Final Fantasy XIII can top this for my GOTY 2010.
Absolutely stunning. Loved the art, loved the combat, loved the story (it did it's job), loved the ending (ENDING SPOILERS:
, loved everything.
Just...wow.

When War said "Not alone..." and three balls of light flew by in the background I literally said "Fuck yeah."

I played through the first dungeon and I liked it. It's fun and it emulates other games well. I know if I played through it I would like it even more but I'll wait a year when it drops to $20.
There was something off to me about it and I couldn't put my finger on it but I think I may have figured it out.
In a game similar to Zelda, I would rather play as a character more like Link, ICO or Wander. Someone who is not a total badass (though Kratos would kick the shit out of War).

Must be pretty short cause all of them have Full time jobs.

Open Air Parking, Aerial Predator, and Who's Counting (the Ulthane one, might have screwed up the name) are all purely situational, and thus, miss-able.
Depending on who you ask, the Improvised Kills trophy might be miss-able as well, since most environmental objects do not respawn when destroyed.
High Flier is the one that pertains to gutting 5 (or more) of those flying bat demons before touching ground? I recall at least one room in the Twilight Cathedral that had a bunch of those beasties. Assuming they respawn (and I think they do), then finding the room(s) shouldn't prove too much of a challenge. If they're scattered, run around the room to agro enough of them, wait until you're surrounded, and do your business.
Edit - I think the little courtyard/street right outside the Twilight Cathedral might have 5 as well. I can definitely think of 4 offhand, and there's at least 1 more far off, past some grapple points. Might be tricky to get all 5 safely together, however. *shrugs*

Open Air Parking is the easiest of all the miseable ones. It takes about 5 minutes to start up a new game and get it.glaurung said:
You can only get it during that one sequence and you have to get 160 all in one go.glaurung said:
I am pretty sure they do or at least there are so many of them that it doesn't really matter. I honestly don't know what kind of a person it would take to manage to break every single parking meter and street light to be able to miss out on the achievement. Although it is easier to get in the beginning.Mejilan said:
Well, not exactly. You do have to get all 160 kills during the entire Angelic Mount sequence. However, since there are check points where the game saves your progress, you CAN do the run in parts, reloading and redoing the current segment for an optimal number of kills. In other words, you don't have to play through the entire Angelic Mount sequence in one shot.

Well if you are looking at it from that point of view than you only need to replay the last section since thats where you get most of the kills.Mejilan said:
The opposite is also true. If you do very poorly in that first segment, it could make reaching 160 almost impossible.
It helps a TON to get to the fiery caves with a good 35-40 kills under your belt. There are a surprising number of "hidden" kills available in that first outdoor segment. Lots of ground units easily taken out by blowing up strategically placed trucks and tankers. I replayed that bit a number of times until I got close to 40 kills, and that made things much easier for the remainder of the sequence.

War is a lot less emotional that Kratos really. There is supposed to be that deep smoldering rage/anger somewhere underneath but he is never as manic as Kratos is. War doesn't go for any kind of flashy stuff like caving some ones head in with a door or trying to rip somebodies head of, just fist through the chest and rip the heart out, done.canova said:
KanZolo said:
Bullshit. At full power, the 4 Horsemen alone are enough to bring both the full powers of Heaven and Hell to their very knees. Kratos has trouble with a single god. War just needs to go into Chaos form and Kratos is fucked.

Again I just don't think War has the emotional capacity for that to happen.andymcc said:

My money's on War. Kratos is too easily distracted by female breasts. His head's just not in the game.

War. Just like Death both are merely personifications of concepts, its impossible to kill them entirely. Its like asking how do you kill Santa Claus?KevinCow said:
Just got this game today and played through the
and went through a bit of the Twilight Cathedral.
Got some real Soul Reaver flashbacks aswell, as some people stated earlier. There couldn't be a better compliment in my books
The camera still bugs me out a _bit_, but that's about the only criticism so far. The plot is crazy, I LOVE the visual look and the action is really fluid. It's just good honest fun. First goty contender for me.
edit:
just saw that G4's x-play gave the game a 2/5. What a joke.

Maybe for Straga, really it was just business. Better example would be the griever._tetsuo_ said:

Is it possible to kill Kratos entirely? I mean he's died twice already and all that's done is make him angrier.
Speaking of killing War, that's something I didn't totally get. In the intro, it seems to imply that Straga kills War and it just sends him to the Charred Council. Yet when they send War to Earth to do his thing, War says something like, "If the demons kill me, they will have carried out my execution for you," so it's implied that if he dies, he'll be gone for good.
And on top of that, what of the humans? Their physical bodies were all killed off in the apocalypse, but shouldn't their spirits have gone to Heaven or Hell?
How does death work in the Darksiders world? It seems like sometimes you're gone for good, while other times you aren't.

Endgame spoilers:
The Council intentionally sent War to Earth to set him up. They wanted to punish Abaddon but without full proof they couldn't send all 4 Horsemen. So they sent War to Earth so that he could be "blamed" for causing the Apocalypse and then go on a quest for vengeance. It's likely that the council saved War from death.
What the fuck how do you fight in this game? I'm at the very early stages where the mini boss or whatever jumps over the broken parts of the bridge and throws cars at you. He then jumps to my ledge and proceeds to hit me twice and drain 3/4 of a life bar. I try hitting him but then he just hits me and there goes almost all my life. I try blocking but I have no idea what you can and can't block in this game because some things just fuck my shit up even though I'm blocking. I try hitting him and then dashing away but his second swipe still hits me because you have to fucking pause after a dash. What the fuck am I doing wrong that I'm finding every single fight in this game so fucking hard? I'm playing on normal as well.
I also just bought the Scythe and it's not helping.

ok...I'm finally stuck. Very close to the end of the Black Throne...
HELP!
Anyways, this game rocks. Been waiting for this shit to come out for like 2 years and it did not disappoint. I especially love War's animations.
Just can't believe I finally got stuck.
I have killed the third golem and have made my way back across the big outdoor area and am stuck in a room. It is a large circular room with a hovering platform in the middle with two portals on it. I know I clearly need to activate those two portals and hit the switch to rotate the platform 90 degrees. The problem is I can't figure out how to open that door on the side to let the beam pass through.
There are two switches on the left and right of that door...and I have successfully got both triggered at the same time (using the slow mo thing, cross blade, and the soul beam) but the fn' door won't open.
What the holy fuck am I doing wrong?

This is the only thing about combat. There is usually a pretty good and easy way to beat almost all enemies (especially when you get Chaos form) but its not very clear. Blocking and counters I haven't used since the challenge arena and its kinda sad._tetsuo_ said:
I hope they keep the same base combat and just vary it up a bit next time. They don't need to do to much to it just tweak it so these things are more straightforward and effective. Then just add more upgrades. I liked how having different secondaries brought just enough variety. I love air launching an enemy doing a few hacks with my sword then punching them to the ground with the gauntlet.
So far though this game despite its pretty frequent and obvious shortcomings it sure does have a lot going for it. Biggest thing probably being the fact that not many games aren't doing this sor of game and its really really odd because of games like Zelda and Metroid do it and its so rewarding.
Good Luck Vigil.
