So, Darksiders...

[Ganthrinor]

I've been busily hacking and slashing my way through the combined legions of Heaven and Hell for a number of hours now, and I find myself enjoying the game most of the time. Usually right up until I find myself faced with a chasm-jump of some variety where the developers seem to think there should only be one way to cross the inexplicable bottomless pit of death, doom and estruction, woe unto any who try to hop the hole in another manner. I am speaking, of course, of the irritating habbit the game has of ignoring arial dash and "glidey shadow wings" inputs when you're trying to jump acros certain gaps.
While this is hardly the most game-breaking bug to ever hit a console, I find it is becoming enough of an issue to make start to really, really hate the puzzle sections. What are the thoughts of my fellow Escapee's on this game and it's labrythnine control mapping and tasty eye candy?

 

[TsunamiWombat]

This game is awesome.

That is all.

 

[Pimppeter2]

snip?

I am thinking about buying it. (Weekend maybe?) How many hours have you put in? Replay ability?

 

[Worgen]

its effin awsome, go buy it now, right now

oh and the way to do shadow wings is just press the button twice and hold it down, do your jump then your double jump and hold it down, never had a problem with wings after doing that

 

[Julianking93]

I was going to buy it yesterday with Bayonetta, but the guy at gamestop said it was really glitchy.

Is it worth the 60 dollars?

Basically this.

Better than Bayonetta?

the only glitches Ive seen in it are the ocasional frame dip and screen tearing on the 360 version, otherwise its so far almost everything I could have hopped for

 

[Calobi]

Man, this game confuses me to no end. Every ad I've seen for it makes me think it's going to be awful, then everyone who talks about is saying it's great. I'll probably put my wallet in your hands and get it now.

I guess I really have no valid input for this conversation though. Therefore: Moo. That is all.

 

[MorsePacific]

It looks good from the trailers I've seen, but I was worried that it was going to be a bit of a Devil May Cry clone.

Maybe I'll pick it up.

well the 2 games are acutualy kinda diffrent kinds of games, bayonetta is more devil may cry and darksiders is more zelda with better and more combat. All I can say is I got darksiders over bayonetta and I dont regret it at all, I know Ill get bayonetta at some point but Im pretty sure Ill get more hours out of darksiders (Ive heard its from 20-30 hours)

You won't regret getting Bayonetta. What system do you have?

The only problem with Bayonetta is that its a bit confusing and I couldn't get much of the story at first, but then again, I'm only about 30 minutes in

oh Im sure I wont but I dont have the cash for both right now and dark siders comes with an art book and unlike alot of games it has a really really fantastic art style so it got the money and I have no regrets

oh and I have a 360

 

[Monkeytacoz]

looks like another $60 button masher

 

[Ganthrinor]

All said and done, Darksiders is a pretty damn fun game. Either my controller is dying, or the jmping/areial dash thing is me being retarded over and over and over, but that's really my only gripe about the game.

Also, War = Arthas? Could be...

I've got about 7 hours or so into it, maybe 45 minutes to an hour of that being idle time for food/drink/ect. Replayability may be there, I'm not much of a re-player though.

Then I will definitely pick up Darksiders tomorrow. Or the next day. Whenever I'm in the vicinity of a game store.

And, despite me being completely in love with the PS3, the 360 version of Bayonetta does look a bit (note I said a bit) better. The main problem on PS3 is the load times. Everything you pick up has its own goddamn load screen, but hopefully, they'll patch it and give it an install like every other fucking PS3 game.

yeah I heard that the ps3 version of bayonetta wasnt as good as the 360 version

 

[SniperWolf427]

I just picked up Dragon Age on sunday and I've already pre-ordered Mass Effect 2...

I told myself I wouldn't buy another game, but this just looks so damn good. I'm engaged in a full on debate about it inside my brain.
