based on what?

They're just not as terrible as everyone else yet. Give them time.

you have to be 18 to post here

Nexus 2?
Nexus prequel?
Damn it OP stop playing with my kokoro!

they only remastered Darksiders and TitanQuest so far though haven't they?

i'd be down for a Darksiders 3 with co-op as Fury and Strife though. and I know there's going to be a Guild 3. inb4 nobody cares about The Guild

I want to believe.

So far yes

They didn't fix Darksiders 2 and it's horrible reliance on RNG loot. Seriously, what the fuck. I loved the first game and the second one bored me so bad I never made it to the second dungeon.
THQ Nordic's fate will be decided if they ever manage to release a sequel to these IPs they're remastering. If they can do a Darksiders 3 featuring the other two horsemen, and make it not suck, then yes, IMO they will be based.

It'd be interesting if they managed to incorporate a coop mode for two horsemen, considering one's a gunslinger. It's been my dream to see a crazy-tier game where, if two really good players can synchronize, they can pull off insane combos or tennis with enemies.

I'm sure the original plan was to have a game for each of the horsemen, but TBH I think hedging bets and turning the third game in to a co-op action adventure where you can hot-swap between characters in single player mode would work really fucking well. And, at least one of them is a gunslinger specialising in ranged weapons with revolvers, and there are horses for the horsemen, so we'd basically get a Sunset Riders in 3D with a Heavy Metal Comic Book aesthetic and that makes my pants tight.

How many times have you posted that image today?
But yes, I agree it would be awesome.

You speak my language.

...

Look it up.

First time today. I posted it yesterday but I only just woke up so it might still be active in another thread in the first few pages of the catalogue? IDK. My saved images, especially those concerning boners, are limited on this machine.

They updated nexus: jupiter incident

Think of companies like 3DPD women. They pretend to care about you so you'll buy into their services and give them money. And then they realize you'll put up with just about anything so they slowly start fucking you over until THEY become dominant over YOU. The trick is to starve them of attention/business until they realize that you're the one in charge. Of course, this never happens because the vast majority of vidya consumers are good goys who take it in the ass and call everybody else entitled.

you mean like how trump got elected? :^)

It's hilarious because it's true, holy fucking shit Holla Forums got scammed hard.

all politicians are scammers

Take it easy, spergmo. There's a difference between recognizing a company is doing a good job, and sucking its dick.

They got exactly what they wanted. The difference between SJWs and them is that the former are open about desiring to be fucked in the ass.

If by some miracle a Darksiders game where you can play as Strife is made gundashing should be made into an actual intended mechanic. It's a really fun way to move around.


I agree that people should wait until Nordic actually publishes a new game to judge them.

DS2's reliance on loot is just part of the game. They'd have to actually remake the game to change (not really fix) how it works. Gunfire did make it so that health steal and wrath steal are much rarer in Deathinitive, you won't see them at all until the very end of your first playthrough and you might not actually get what you want. You do still get a unique axe that levels with you and has health steal but does low damage early on though. And in terms of RNG all you ever really need to do is reset for the type of possessed weapon you want with high damage and then just rely on vendor gear. White drops were made a lot less common (so less going back to town to sell shit) and other drops were made a little more common, though the former has the effect of making possessed weapon drops less common when you use the trinket that turns whites possessed weapons occasionally.

They brought Gothic series to Steam, that's nice.

they also remastered dead island, though i think nothing gameplay-wise was changed.

They've also just released The Dwarfs which is kind of mediocre.

Is darksiders 1 good? I have it on steam for some reason but ive never played it.

When's the new Spongebob platforming game?

They can't really change that without remaking the game from scratch, they might as well just use that time and effort into making a third brand new game.

Oh shit, I had no idea. Neat desu.

If you like beat shit up with different weapons, yeah give it a try

it's basically a 3d Zelda game but with better combat.

Just know that there is an item you get pretty early on called the Crossblade and you can use it to cancel animations. it makes combat allot more fun.

I like them both, Think of Zelda but replace the femboi twink with the four horsesmen of the apocalypse.
Although for some reason they replaced Famine and Pestilence with Fury and Strife, I don't know why.

If you own it then give it a try I don't understand why your asking.

Downloading.

It's because Famine and Pestilence would be kind of hard to make into a vidya. No clue why Conquest was changed though.

I thought Conquest was the horse not the rider.

let me know when Quest 64 gets a sequel

You have to go back

If they fixed some minor things in Quest 64 and called it Quest 128 or some shit, I'd buy it.

FYI "Pestilence" isn't a real horseman (biblically speaking). It's Conquest, riding a white horse armed with a bow. Conquest represents aggressive war, taking foreign territories, whereas the more well known War, rider of the red horse and armed with a sword likely represents war within a country, civil war and power struggles.

The other two though are pretty straightforward as Death and Famine. Notably Death is the only one explicitly named.

If you think about it though, Fury=Conquest and Strife=Famine is pretty accurate. Again, none of the horsemen were named except for Death. Given what those two represent however those names are just fine.

Except of course they got it backwards and Strife rides the white horse with the ranged weapon (gun instead of bow but close enough), and Fury rides the black horse (Famine has no weapon and instead carries a set of scales, so they were free to give that horseman whatever they wanted)

So Strife would be some kind of Max Payne/Gears of War/TPS combined with Gunslinger mode from DMC. That sound good? Perhaps more like Vanquish and Gunslinger. Lots of speed, fluid movement, varied gun selection. Maybe some stealth missions with silenced guns, snipers etc.

Fury I imagine would be focused on perhaps building her rage and combo meters for more damage and buffs. Plus, her whip would be used to get around.

Strife would basically be DMC. He isn't all guns, he just uses his signature pistols, Mercy and Redemption. If he had his own game he would probably borrow weapons from the others same way War did, so pistols primary with a sword secondary and others for utility.

Can't wait for a new way to vaporize smelly Earth monkeys

...

Fucker's are losing money doing remasters for free, could exploit it for money and then use the money to fund the publishing of multiple F2P games on iOS, then they could set their sights on releasing 1 large tripple A property each year with a dev time of 3 years for each project given out to mutiple in-house teams.

Yeah, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both just as bad. Oh well, I think I'm gonna vote Democrat next year so that hateful bigot Donald Trump doesn't stay in office much longer! And I say that an independent voter, as intelligent as you magnificent lads!

Yeah but 2d is like your dream game, it doesn't exist and never will.


It's more like God of War with more Zelda.

The trick here is that they're losing nothing, in essence.

Sure, they lose money by spending resources and time on remasters, but think of what they're gaining from this.

They're remaking games and giving them out for free to people who already own them. This drums up more press about the games, as everyone likes free games. If they do a good enough job on the remaster, which they seem to of done, then people recommend it and they drum up some amount of money to recoup losses.

Now that's great, they got some press for old-ish games, so people are ready/asking for a sequel they already have planned/in development.
Now they go about re-releasing a bunch of games like Destroy All Humans and Gothic. This costs them almost nothing, just a fee to Microsoft/Sony/Steam and maybe a week or two of marketing. Again, they make money, get more support for sequels they have planned and drum up attention that THQ is back, sort of.

And that's not even the smartest part of this entire relauch of the THQ name.
The absolutely brilliant part of this is that they're giving all their employees a chance to learn new skills. By making their employees remaster older games, they're forced to look at how these games were made, in design, layout and raw code.
Every single person that works on Darksiders has just been under the hood of the game, and knows how to make the 3rd one just like the original 2.

I know I sound a bit naive and fanboy-ish, but by doing this, they're effectively outplayed every other major game studio.


In short:
These Madmen are poised to take on EA and Ubisoft.

Is it Steam only? Can't find anything on their site.


But user, you don't understand! He's le outjewing le jews! It's okay when their pet maymay is doing things they otherwise condemn. Can't wait until he starts to outnigger the niggers.
Also it's just adorable how they can find connections to jew anywhere and come here to sperg about it, except when it goes against their agenda.

I know I bought a copy of their Destroy All Humans PS4 port(Since my 360 broke a few months ago and I owned an Xbox copy). And while it was almost no effort on their part I wish they had put a little more into it. The framerate is almost always iffy and it's crashed once in the 10 hours I've played so far for seemingly no reason.

While I too would of wanted a remaster of DAH, not just a re-release, hasn't it done it's part in that now you want a new game to come out, with 60FPS and spanking new, wacky graphics of people blowing up?

I wish I thought of this strategy first, it's so fool proof, as long as they release only the games poeple want from their backlog.

How about you suck my dick?

I recently installed Red Faction Guerrilla and to my amazement, it's still being actively patched.

I thought Holla Forums voted for trump because he wasn't afraid of PC bullshit, and was a stepping stone towards getting white supremacy back or some shit, not because he actually cared about them.

Speaking of which here is my old THQ stock

...

I bought it well after they were failing after the drawing pad toy too.

If you're entering stock market territory, you've already painted a huge target on yourself. The smartest survive and get profits, the rest gets fucked.

...

If you want your money to work for you get precious metals
They're not getting cheaper, and their use isn't decreasing

Oy vey! Why are you spreading those lies! Dolan is le Gawd Emprah, the savior of banker white race!

also
Holla Forums got memed on and put the kike in charge. I mean the guy appears to have minimal decency and he's better than any other US politician but he's still a fucking kike

fuck, i mean ancestors not descendants

Would autistic Holla Forumstards take this faggotry back to your containment board?

Shabbos goy. Only those whose mothers are kikes can claim the gorillineage.

That's what we're doing, fam. They've been shitting up Holla Forums since around spring 2014, after 8/pol/ got hit hard by shit-tier refugees from 4/pol/. Now it's our turn to have fun and I'll be rubbing salt in their wounds until they stop twitching.

Fucking morons. They just revel in taking bait.

...

sometimes they actually believe what you think is bait since they took knowyourmeme for a source but yeah

I actually did pretty well with MUX and Fujiheavy. Bought both around the same time THQ went down and with the number of shares I bought very low both hava done very well for me. Just saw THQ and figured that old stock would be a laugh for someone.

Fuck, I meant 2015.

Is Darksiders 2 good? I 100% original Darksiders, but gave up on the second after some time and never came back to finish it. Probably because of increased areas and increased time walking around backtrackng as a result. If you decided to replay Darksiders, would you play first or second game?

Second is slower, some really atmospheric areas and dungeons, has really great music. Story isn't as interesting but there's a lot of cool side stories and side characters, and just generally fleshing out the lore of the universe. Loot system is silly and gets overpowered if you know what you're doing. If you've already played DS1 then you should go and play DS2.

I just started playing "The Dwafs" it's pretty cool so far but hard, I like it. I keep getting my assignment kicked on the first fight on normal difficulty

idk user, there's a difference between willing to be fucked in the ass and not enjoying any assplay at all.

At least they fixed some ancient AMD issues in the Warmasted edition, outside the 30gb size its nicely done.
A Correct the Record raid in a Darksiders thread is pure evil

One must question what goes on in your head.

This is also bait.

Nope they are cucks.
Instead of absorbing a company like a man and asserting dominance they decided to take their wifes sons last name in the marriage.
I will never buy a game from them.

Really. All I did was say vidya companies are deceptive and shouldn't be trusted, then some autist from Holla Forums comes in with a random comment about Donald Trump.
Fuck off.

Is Darksiders like God of War or Zeldo? Worth the purchase?

It's combination of both. God of War combat with Zelda exploration.
