Darksiders 3 Gameplay

I have slightly more hope for this game now. I'd have even more if they used the comic book design instead of this "strap random bits of sharp metal onto her" bullshit.

Her attacks look really slow and kinda… floaty? I'm a bit miffed that it's a whip-like weapon because it seems like the "go to" weapon if you don't wanna design good melee attacks.

For comparison, look at Lords of Shadow gameplay. It has good, heavy and quick whipping. It feels and looks like it has incredible impact.

it will be funny to hear them whine when 4 comes out

The new whip animations have more weight and look like they belong to an actual whip. The old animations were quick, flippy bullshit that looked closer to a piece of string.

I really want this to be good since the other two games were hidden gems.

Looking good. But seeing as swedecucks are behind this, as well as making her less attractive from her other appearances, I'm skeptical. Interested, but skeptical.

I'm still waiting for porn to come out

THIS
One of best things of the darksiders series was the character design, if they are going full SJW on it (omg you can see that woman's ankle, MEE-SOGGY-KNEE!) i am not going to give these fuckers a cent.
FUCK THEM

Too be fair GoW is probably the only games that does qtes right.

When is this game set, what is the timeframe? Before Darksiders 1 and during Darksiders 2?

she looks like a fucking eldar

They say the seals are broken, so this might be a sequel.

Yeah but remember Darksiders 1? They thought the seals were broken, but they werent. And the end of DS1 sees the other 3 riders coming to help War when he breaks the last seal. So I dont think its a sequel.

Looks better than the one released a year or so ago, but I still think furi looks pretty damned ugly.

By right you mean completely wrong.

IT doesn't hinder gameplay. If you don't want to qte an enemy for "press x for awesome" moment, than just kill them. Boss battles finishers are different, but at that point you already won and just need to press a few buttons to make a flashy finisher.

Except it does. All the boss QTEs are mandatory and they take place every time it shifts a phase. If you fail them you take damage and the boss regains health. They add nothing to the combat and are there just to distract you from the shallowness and the lack of mechanical polish of the combat.

Not a fan of the more "realistic" style or the fact that Fury doesn't seem to mesh at all with the other designs, but from a gameplay perspective I can see a lot of potential with the whip. Hopefully you'll have to combo swinging into attacking and other fun things like that

No, eat shit

This is the actual design before the current year infection.

Oh man tits. Current year needs to fuck off, this design is wonderful. She's a pseudo-god. These people don't give a fuck about clothes anyways!

Man fuck THQ Nordic.

I guess I won't be playing this game

I hope at the very least Lillith is untouched

That's 1000 times better than the crap we are going to get now.
Fuck that shit, i lost all interest and hope i had for this game, fuck nordic games.

I think it needs to be just a bit faster. I also want her eyes to be pure white, the pupils just look weird.
Other than that though I think it looks pretty good. I really like games that let me swing around like a monkey on a vine.

Holy fuck I miss Western titties

...

I swear that I thought this said Darkstalkers instead of Darksiders and was ready to unleash a massive flood of Felicia fetish porn. But I guess you will all be spared that.

Shit tier res, but even with that I would probably still be rendenring that clip

Do you think we're all gay or something?
Also
Good joke

I don't think anyone would complain, considering how darksiders has a criminally small amount of porn despite having all sorts of hot demon girls and giantess'

She's missing a burqa.

let me double the res

Holy shit user what the fuck are you doing?

I hope that was worth the weight
Would take me 4 more hours to render too

...

There appears to be no more than 5 different ways to swing the whip, but I guess they'd add more. I wonder what other weapons they'll add as secondaries.
Whip looks very slow, so hopefully it's sped up so it's actually like a whip.

But the devs are ex-Vigil, you bandwagon jumping retards.

It'll also likely have levelling and a gorillion stupid statistics thrown in to give the illusion of progress.

The first game was good and I still don't understand why it is so hard to recreate such simplicity and make it decent.

fury is part of the horsemen and the first game isn't that good, you have to be a liar to think so

But the publishers is Swedes and not Americans
Whats your fucking point?

But the publishers are Austrian and owned by a single Swede. THQ Nordic is owned by THQ Nordic AB, and AB employs very few people and is just a buffer in case something goes wrong with the subsidiary.

Owned by a single Swede who doesn't even make the games =/= cucked.
So, what's your fucking point?

Pretty sure watching Let's Plays on YouTube doesn't count as playing.
Have a (you) for trying.

Graphics look like shit?

I haven't played it again since release, but it left me with a good impression.
Also, the point is that she is a woman.
I don't think the horseMEN are supposed to be ugly dykes.

Was she referenced somewhere?

Also how the fuck was this turned into a fucking franchise? The art is shit, gameplay is just copied from Zelda and everything about it sucks ass. Fucking underage b& I swear to god.

I don't know about you, but fury was introduced as a whole in a comic just before the release of darksiders 2, to raise your horseMEN complaint

...

She was shown in both games, in concept art, referenced as female several times, talked about as the protag for the 3rd game when the first one came out, shown in comics and a bunch of other shit.

It's hack n slash Zelda, which is to say, nothing like Zelda.
Don't parrot memes if you don't comprehend them.

...

How about you suck a fat cock nigger?

Oh yeah and the introduction cutscene in the first darksiders also shows a girl on a horse. Would have been cooler to play as Strife, the horsemen that wields two guns

Well, fuck.
Maybe I should replay it.

Not an argument, tbh.
It still plays differently from a generic Zelda clone.
If you really can't enjoy a game that isn't 100% original in it's execution, the pool of games is incredibly small for you.

Play the second one; you won't have to suffer through aligning the beams again and its a better game.

I wish they'd do justice and remake 2 from the ground up. You can tell all sorts of shit, gameplay related and story related were cut.

Darksiders was never good

shitty american comic-book artstyle asides, what's up with the retarded slow-mo for every hit?

Shutup nigger

He's right tho.

No money for that - notice that they just did a couple of re-releases with graphical and upgrades simply not just to milk it/test the waters, but because no publisher or investor would see it as worth their time. Imagine how that conversation with a suit would go

*graphical and cosmetic changes

Czech these

Maybe Platinum games have spoiled me, but this looks very sluggish.

>

That and they pissed off a shoe company for not making a game fast enough.

Which game was that?

Likely because it's aimed at the edgy Zelda audience and women, so it needs to be made accessible.

THQ was banking on Darksiders 2 sending them back into the black, so they gambled everything on the game, gave it a huge marketing budget and a carte blanche to the dev team to go nuts. Midway into development, however, they realized they couldn't keep it up, so they threw all milestones into the bin and gave the Vigil devs a deadline to wrap it all up (which is why the Angel Library and Sammael's domain are so small). Vigil did their thing, but they still hadn't ironed out basic issues with the gameplay like the combo and the loot system, and thus the gameplay just managed to miss the sweet spot and quite consistently. Game undersold, THQ never recouped its money even with the shitty DLC and they died out as a result. The worst thing was that nobody wanted to hire the Vigil devs as a result, and the dev house just died out, only getting sort of resuscitated by Nordic.

Sod off, fag.

I thought Vigil was now split between Gunfire games and another studio that I believe worked on Battle Chasers.
Which reminds me that maybe it's because Joe-mad might not be working on this game is the reason why it doesn't look as visually appealing as the previous two.

These are Zelda games for the "mature" audience though.

I thought that was LoK and Shadow Man.

Nah, half of them fucked off to Crytek which I imagine they heartily regretted and the other half disappeared for a while till a bunch of them reappeared to make Gunfire. Nordic later approached them for Darksiders 3, which is when they became their de-facto publishers. In all honesty, since Fury's redesign was about the only thing Joe Mad did for this game, I'm not all too chuffed up about it. I'm feeling Jesper Kyd's loss more keenly.

I've never played a Zelda game. The game's appeal is in the amount of cheese it has that dulls off the edge, it strikes a nice balance I find appealing.

Get back to fucking my ass Rabbit

You really should. While they're not the perfect masterpieces some people praise them as, they are very fun and engaging games that deserve a playthrough. If you liked Darksiders (especially the first one) you'll like Zelda games.

Apparently the thing did really well on the nintendo wii but when they ported it over to X360 and PS3 it bombed hard. I think THQ should have just focused on making AA games instead of making a million childrens tie in games and the occasional AAA.

So people keep telling me, but my massive backlog means I keep putting it off in favor of other games and mods. e.g I've been playing Perisno (Warband) exclusively for the last week or so, it's bloody addicting. I'll probably get to it sometime before 2019, right?

How?

Looks much better than the alpha.

Gory kills are a part of Darksiders and they need to find a way to keep some special animations for kills against normal enemies. The biggest problem with the QTEs in the series was the fact that they put an ugly button above the enemies when they could be executed instead of figuring out something that would actually fit in the game world. The gameplay aspect of them is fine. Plus they're very rare against normal enemies in 2 anyway, unless you specifically get gear to make them more likely.

Same time as 2. After the war starts on Earth but before the main events in 1.

Is it certain that Kyd won't do any of the music? He did some of the music for Battle Chasers.

Interesting that it seems they put plenty of iframes on her dodge. The dodging in 2 was a huge fucking mess. Enemies had extreme tracking and Death had no iframes on his roll. In addition, they took the limited dodges from Bayonetta and made it so that your third dodge would move you a little farther but have a huge delay on the end. This totally misses the point of why the limited dodges were in Bayonetta, since that game gives plenty of iframes for the dodges.

His website says he's working on State of Decay 2 and some shitty MMO, and there's jack shit in his twitter account. I'd say the possibility is remote.

I hope so because the lore is retarded

Absolute madmen.
Do you think 3rd one will have even more retarded puzzles than DS2?

plebs

It's Death, War, Pestilence, and Famine.

What is this Fury shit.

Fury and Strife. You could say that War already has a ton of those, but fuck it. Guess they'd be too boring to play otherwise.

According to Darksiders, it's War, War (but different), Death, and War (but a girl).
THQ Nordic's reasoning for not making Pestilence/Conquest and Famine is because they were literally too lazy to make them look "cool"

Takes a very serious lack of creativity or even the insight to take inspiration to not be able to make something cool with Pestilence and Famine. A poison battle mage or a guy that has a weaponized locust swarm or whatever. It's the kinda shit that almost writes itself but I guess they didn't want to consider anything that wasn't "UNGA! it with a stick".

They didn't know what to do with Pestilence and Famine. Famine used to be more commonly interpreted as Conquest. They should have each character be distinct from one another. Unlike, as said, War, Death, War, and War.

The first one came out in an era where Sony and MS were pumping untolds amount of money into just about anything in a race to fluff the market numbers after the economic downturn in an attempt to fool investors. It didn't really work.

Pestilence is a 20th century Jewish reimagination of Conquest.

If Death has Strife's Pistols, what the fuck is Strife going to use in his game?

Strife's other guns

Easy, make Strife's game take place before he lost his pistols.

Another gun. And then another one.
He will just go full gunslinger mode and juggle 40 guns at once. That's as many as 4 10.

Strife should play like Dante.

I'd go with

Hopefully, if/when they get around to Strife, he is Max Payne, Vanquish and Dante's Gunslinger rolled into one fun game. Ideally melee weapons will be to him as his guns are to War and Death, useful tools to go along with their main weapons.

Make it to where you uses another gun from a lair/boss as a replacement, or just simply make it another prequel until the inevitable Avengers-esce sequel.
