Darksiders 2 coming in 2012!

Post by Stark »

Dudes, I am so excited for this game. Can't wait to see where they go with the story. First one was an amalgamation/homage to several games and was quite fun. Here's a trailer.

It was actually delayed. It was supposed to come out in October.

Kind of a random aside:
Darksiders+Kirby=?

Why did Kevin Flynn blare Journey so loud in his arcade? Was he trying to hear it from the grid?

Yeah that's a bit of a bummer, but hey I've got plenty to play this year, even if there were no more games coming out. :shock:

Gameplay is like God of War meets Zelda. There's not as much combo depth as GoW though, I really enjoyed it. For an alternate perspective wait for Gamerforlife to show up. :)

My one concern with this one is that they are saying that the first hub level will be as big as the entire first game. That sounds to me like a game I would tire of long before I beat it. Frankly, the first game was getting really long in the tooth with its last dungeon, which went on and on and on just kept repeating the same portal puzzles and boss fights over and over again. These guys don't know what the words overkill and repetition mean

I could get into that, though its kind of hard to imagine.

It has dungeons like Zelda and sub items you'll recognize from Zelda games like the hook shot. The combat is like God of War with less moves and no mini-games for fatalities. It also borrows a boss fight from Shadow of the Colossus. It has portal puzzles like, well....Portal. It also has third person shooter sections. The game tries to do everything
