i dont think i could lol at this harder. with its ninja gaiden 3 multiplayer and gameplay that i can virtually guarantee will be unchanged, doubtful
GOW1 was the shit, 2 was unbelievable. then 3, they had so few changes i though i was playing gow2 but worse. they added nothing to 3 other than sexier graphics and bigger boss fights ( admittedly it did have some of the best boss fights ever but that was its only real highlight for me. gameplay>graphics anyday ). it had no ...
you know the best way for everyone to disagree with this review??????
buy the game anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets not let this one underwhelm in the sales department. its a damn shame cod can post crazy numbers but the first darksiders did mediocre at best. let not let that happen again!
depends i guess. ND has only made three games this gen all from the same franchise. all have been very good, none were great, at least from me.
then their is the rest of the devs who have made better games but maybe not as consistent since they were juggling more ips.
examples.....
bioware ( i loved ME1, 2, & 3, and dragon age origins but DA2 was shit and i havent played the old republic ) so i would say they are better ( and yes i ...
they make good games but id have to disagree with you. no matter though, this one does look very good if not better than uncharted
sooooooooooooo i spent 5 games pissed and murdering the gods and now you want me to side with one of them????????????
that was one of the better reviews ive seen from that site. the score also seems well justified and it seems to be coming from a huge fan of the first like me.
not that i needed any convincing to but it anyway lol 3hrs til work ends!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree that it will be between 8-10s and like i said this guys review was solid but what bubblebeam and i are saying is, if the review reads like a 9, then your score should read a 9. if not then somewhere in the review there is a lack of communication. example these are the positives and negatives that i spotted from that review.....
pros
-Death’s world is vast and varied
-Darksiders II offers a wide variety of killing fields wrapped ...
while i do agree with you, to be fair a review embargo in the first place shows a lack of confidence in your final product.
that said, not sure why this game needs one. it looks crazy good, the first was crazy good and it seems for the most part it is scoring high.
i do suppose if i were in thqs position though i wouldnt want to take any sort of risk that could effect 1st day sales, be it good or bad. play it safe when your company is on the line
this was a solid review and an 8 is a damn good score but i cant help but feel it read as a 9.
this........ "Now I get to use them in a massive new adventure so full of character and energy that it has no trouble standing alongside the greatest titles in the genre, including those it cribs so heavily from."
had it read "DS2 is so good it sits just slightly under its inspirations" then an 8 would be appropriate....however alongside mea...
lol i actually just got into it this year. bought it for 20 bones, played it in march. turned out to be one of the best games ive ever played, slow start, ending puzzle was drawn out a little long. those were literally the only bad things i can say about it.
preordered my collectors edition DS2 to pick up tomorrow right after work! looks even better!!!!!!!!!!
so yes, you did miss out lol
a few spelling errors lol but very well said. its not being sexist its just facts. all them reports where they claim females make up 50% of gamers is the biggest load of crap ive ever heard. a girl who plays angry birds or wii fit is tech a gamer, since she occasionally plays games but she is not on the same level as pretty much anyone on this site or most males who can actually tell you the next 3 triple a games coming out and who spend hrs a week on their consoles or pcs.

you missed the "sotn" part lol. that stands for symphony of the night! not only is that the best castlevania everm but its one of the greatest videogames this world has ever seen and to me, without a doubt the best action rpg. darksiders 2 looks like the only game i have ever seen with the potential to match that.
although to be fair, i did kick deaths ass as alucard so maybe it wont be able to compete :P
360 for me. got the collectors edition. any version is gonna be great though, this is my most anticipated game in many years lol. it reminds me of castlevania sotn. i looooooove action rpgs, true action rpgs like this
picking mine up tomorrow!
gonna have to agree with zha1tan here lol. optimus prime running to cover behind a wall would be retarded lol. granted i have seen them do it in the show but once in a while is fine, constantly would just be odd. plus you can just walk behind a wall, switch your shooting arm as needed and use cover the traditional way.

-i could give you that sony is pushing online further and further as well with psn plus and offering the services for free. but i didnt give it to them becuase psn was modeled very closely after live and live was the first service of its kind on consoles ( dreamcast online was very weak )
-wireless gaming, i meant for the controllers lol. gamecube was the only one who offered first party wireless controller prior but it was bought after the fact. ms introduc...
actually they all have contributed, just off the top of my head......
nintendo
-saved console gaming with nes
-shoulder buttons with snes
-introduced analog stick with n64
-introduced motion with wii ( could be seen as good or bad )
-adding touch screen to the controller ( yet to see its impact but it looks interesting )
-practically created hand held gaming
-continued to push innovative hand held systems

regardless if most* pc games have a certain set of features standard or not, it doesnt entitle you to them with every game and it is certainly not required. the game is the same game whether its 120fps with a laundry list of graphical features or its a copy and paste port, the fact is that it is now available to those who only have a pc as a gaming platform or just prefer that platform. summons is completely right, pc gamers should be grateful that they ma...
that looks way flippin better than anything bungie has done since halo 2
to each his own, thats justmy opinion. 3 was a decent game at best to me. it was similar to resident evil 5. both were very good games and still better than a lot of whats out there however i dont think they measured up to my expectations for the series or their predecessors
