THQ is just to picky
>>48451006>implying im a hivemind>implying I didnt buy bayonetta twice and give a coppy to my gf>implying I dont have a gf
;_; I hope this doesn't mean that this is the last Darksiders game.
God fucking dammit. Darksiders is a great game too. It deserves some recognition. It's partially THQ's fault for it not selling much. The game was hardly marketed AT ALL.Remember when Darksiders came out and half of /v/ never even heard of it before? Yeah.
Oh well, brace for moar shootan.
Maybe Joe Mad should have gotten it out during the Playstation era when it would have been fucking rad.
:'(
people would rather play something original
>>48451006Maybe it didn't sell because it looks kinda shitty
if they really care so much about sales figures, why dont they release a demo for this?
>>48451225
I would have actually bought it if the names weren't made by a twelve year old. Seriously, the names killed it for me.
>>48451225>making loose flawed assumptions before you even give the game a chanceOh /v/. Never change. You load of fuck-wits.
It would have sold better if it was its own thing instead of being some grimdark zelda bullshit that people would have cared about more in the 90s
It wasn't even that good.It was a mishmash of different game ideas that ended up being mediocre. The story was was kind of disjointed. I kept asking myself why I should give a shit about these people.To top it off the last boss was fucking pathetic.
>>48451263Are you autistic or something.
isn't darksiders just Rob Liefield Presents: Zelda>
>>48451263and the cartoony graphics. AND THE HARDCORE HUEG SWORDS MANLY MAN SHIT
Proud supporter of the game reporting it in. No regrets
>>48451293>>48451259well from what i'v seen its looks likehuhhuhh i'm Artha.. I mean war AND i need to killd emons to save thw rold of warcraft, I mean earth HUHEUEHUEHEUEHEUEHEUHE i'm link I AM A MONSTER TRUCK THAT WALKS LIKE A MAN
>>48451332The name actually IS pretty shitty.It'd be like calling Halo 3, Space Shooter 3: The rapening
.....
I already wanted to order it from game for 40 pounds but it sounds like I should wait for a price cut or is it not very likely to happen soon?
You know those games where you cant wait until it over?Yeah, its one of those.
>>48451416This is why WoWfags shouldn't be able to play good games. They defile them with WoW shit.
>>48451416You're embarrassing yourself. Just stop.
>>48451461>for 40 poundsDon't be silly.No game is that heavy.
>>48451500he's right, though.It's basically a Zelda game as REINVENTED by Rob Liefeld.
Playing this currently.It's pretty good.Funny how every criticism of the game is also present in Zelda games yet people don't say anything about them because OMGITSZELDAinb4 someone says Zelda games have a story
That's what THQ gets for going head to head day and day with Bayonetta, the sales of both games suffered they're too similar. they should have done their best to come out in December against nothing.
>>48451332Hmm, you have a sword named Chaoseater, a horse named Ruin, and your name is War. I'm definitely autistic for not like these.
>>48451559In case you didn't notice most of /v/ hated TP, because it was more of the same old bullshit.Same reason why most people didn't like Darksiders, it was more of that same bullshit.
>>48451606>Bayonetta>Darksiders>too similar
Zelda games are shit, anyone trying to make games like that should just stop.
War is a bad main characterplaying as one of the most powerful being in existence is not very fun when there is nothing that can challenge you
>>48451609>I'm definitely autistic for not like these.Yes. Yes you are.
delicious
>>48451688And you may be too.
ITT: THIS GAME SUCKS IT'S NOT ORIGINAL PLAYED THIS BEFORE JUST THE SAME OLD SAME OLDOMG MASS EFFECT 2 BEST GAME EVER
>>48451780>OMG MASS EFFECT 2 BEST GAME EVERFucking this. Mass Effect 2 is Gears of War: Dating Sim Edition.
Whether it's original or not is entirely irrelevant. It's whether it's any GOOD that's important.And it is. Darksiders is very good. That is, of course, only my opinion.
>>48451821Still is better than Zelda: Grimdark edition
>>48451609>>48451609Yes, yes you are autistic.
DERIVATIVE GRIM DARK BULLSHIT UNDERPERFORMS! FILM AT ELEVEN!
Platinum Games hasn't had a good run, House of the Dead Overkill and Madword struggled to reach 100k in sales on the Wii.Bayonetta's managed to scratch passed 500k, still not a heavy hitter but that's better than Platinum's previous games.
I don't buy clones. I like the real thing myself.
>>48451880Actually. It's not. Mass Effect 2 is quite possibly the most overrated game in a long time.
>>48451946and by that I mean I buy God of War, Devil May Cry and Zelda
>>48451485not a wow fag and anyway if you saying it doesn't look like wow then your a stupid faggot in denial because it does, I mean the fucking woman darksider looks like a night elf
>>48451973The combat in Darksiders is nothing like God of War or Devil May Cry. Have you even played it?
I keep forgetting to buy Darksiders, along with a bunch of other games.This is probably a good thing since I'm not broke all the time.
>>48451954Metacritic and sales numbers disagrees with you.
Releasing it against Bayonetta was a great idea.
>>48451954>BAWWWWWWWW
>>48451974>I mean the fucking woman darksider looks like a night elfYou know absolutely nothing about this game. Do you.
>>48452003Of course he hasn't played it.
I hated it from the moment I saw it.
>>48452037That's what overrated means. That's what i was trying to imply. Goddamn you are stupid.
>>48452037Right soME2 good reviews = good gameDarksiders good reviews = OMGSHITGAME
>>48451006the wow graphic put me offby the way... i loved wind waker
>Cool, a game about the apocalypse and I play as War!>Hmm, this combat is like God of War....except it sucks...>Well at least I'll use my horse to...wait....wheres my horse>Why did I just do a Panzer Dragoon segment?>Hmm, a boomerang, a hookshot and.....a Portal gun!?>Alright I finally got the horse....3/4 through the game....>Why is this so easy, nothing poses any challenge>That last boss didn't even do any damage to me, I still had 10 lifebars leftA good story setting ruined by throwing elements of a bunch of other games together, and then wrapping it in a World Of Warcraft design.
>>48452108HOW ARE THE GRAPHICS IN WIND WAKER EVEN IRRELEVANT TO THIS DISCUSSION?
>NEW IP>EXPECT TONS OF SALES
>>48452045I know the gameplay but not the story
>>48452037>Quite possibly the most overrated game in a long time>Metacritic and sales numbers disagrees with you.So you are using Metacritic, which has a 96 rating, to prove it ISN'T overrated?
>>48451974>>48451974
>>48452130yahtzee plz go
>heavy marketing dollarsWhat? I've also never seen it advertised.
>>48452076Stop acting like a child just because no one likes your shit game.
>>48452003uhm...have you? Darksiders combat is "exactly" like devil may cry/god of war, how is it different?
The reason I didn't get Darksiders was becauseA) For some reason it looked kind of WoW-ish.and B) I only had enough money for one game, so I bought Faponetta.
>>48451443>implying I wouldnt buy a game with the subtitle "The Rapening" 5 times.
>>48452188no
>>48451954Anything with the name Halo wants to have a word with you.
more people would have bought it if there was a demo.since when is 1 million bad? most games don't come anywhere near that, and only a few outsell it completely.1 million for a new IP non fps is pretty good
>>48452053>>48452003enjoy your 60 doll....oh wait you spent it
MASS EFFECT 2 IS THE BEST GAME EVER LOOK AT THE METACRITIC SCORE IT'S FUCKING 96!DARKSIDERS IS A TERRIBLE GAME LOL CLONE NOTHING NEW HERE
>>48452167Actually I was referring to the part of the post where he implies that Darksiders is better than ME2. I was just showing him that this is just his opinion, and most of people disagrees with him
Great game, altough the shitty combat system killed the enjoyment for me.You just can't go back to God of War after playing Bayonetta, now can you?X X X X X X GRABX X (UPPER CUT) X X X X X LAND -> GRABOccasional dodge here and then.
Personally, I enjoyed he atmosphere and feel of the game. I enjoyed the bastardized GoW/DMC combat, and I thought the bosses were great fun.
the fact that there was no challenge even on apocalyptic left a sour taste in my mouth
>>48452586stop playing it on easy faggot
>>48452697u so funy
>>48452586The sour taste was your fathers penis you fucking faggot
>>48452697how do I unlock hard mode?
>>48452887you have to grind up on your daddys dick to unlock hard mode
>>48452878>>48452697wait are you guys saying you actually found this game hard?This is what happens when you only play FPS games
>>48452994No body said that did they? No I don't think so, no one even implied anything like that. Learn to fucking read you spastic.
>>48451073>>48451073>>48451073>>;_; I hope this doesn't mean that this is the last Darksiders game.In this economy? You don't fucking perform and you are out on your ass.
SUDDENLY SAMEFAG
>>48452697Played it on hard from the very beginning.u mad>>48452878lol u even moar mad
I might have bought it if they released it on PC.Silly THQ!
Darksiders starts easy and ends Wii Music easy
>>48451559>>inb4 someone says Zelda games have a storyWell, technically they do. It's just Nintendo switch out names of assitant characters and locations (which often referece each other). Oh, and sometimes they throw out a red herring boss so that we're all so surprised when Ganon shows up again.I'm hoping the next one is the overhaul they claim it will be.
>>48453455>buy>pc
As others have said, it was too easy. Even the harder modes weren't that hard. Also, its post apocalyptic, literally. Sounds good, but for me it just felt empty. I really couldn't identify with War either. I didn't get anyones motivations either. The world is destroyed, who gives a shit what you do now, it won't change anything. Sure you need to clear your name, but who really gives a shit if you do? I think the problem is that they had to come up with something to happen after the apocalypse. In the end you just have a bunch of assholes fighting with each other for no damn reason other than their pride.
>>48453532I fucking HATE retards who think mustaches work this way.
>heavy marketing dollarsWHAT?Jesus, they should spend them better then, cause here, on fucking /v/, basically no one knew about this game till the release date.
>>48451464This.I'm at the part where I have to find the shards to the broken sword. I don't know how close I am to the end because it keeps going on and on.I got close to 30+ other burned games I wanna play dammit.
>brag about not spending money on games>complain about nobody buying the games we like>in the same thread nowoh /v/, don't ever change
