 KingofCabal He really looks like a duck as mentioned earlier below. That detail must have escaped the developers and is bound to make the bloopers of every game site if left unchanged.

Well i respect your words, but this is not what i mean in essence, i believe that thez cant create something from scratch (as both idea and programming) - this is also related to some kind of object oriented prog. how i tell you i start to believe some SW companies start to sell their work after years and some programmers or animators have left their work to join another company (in this case not imitation100%) but in both cases i see there is no innovation in the world of games no dramatic changes no revolutionary ideas because of the two mentioned reasons above. and also i have seen the imitation not only in programming but in ideas , you took one side but am a very old gamer and i have lived two eras of game programmings, GOW took both idea and programming and darksiders took from both but in idea of the story, i can prove more if you want and i will be more specific in details.

hi guys, i know how much you are excited for some games, but dont you think it is just imitation to games like soul reaver and i include the famous GOD of War. the Graphics is great but the game's idea was taken and the game play too from SR!!.

bernstein1986 12 pts

I think its a stretch to say that it is an imitation of either of those games. They definitely share some features, but it seems like the game is going to play a little differently then GoW and Soul Reaver. Soul Reaver had no inventory management, no side quests, and the combat did not have as much depth as this game will have. The combat has more in common with GoW, but the main difference between GoW and Darksiders is the inventory management system and the idea of side quests. I think when this game releases people are going to realize that this is not a GoW carbon copy, but a mix of what we love from a couple different genres (GoW, Zelda, Diablo loot management).

yup am playing through the first one right now and am quite loving it. The Bosses are awesome to fight with and hard but not impossible.

beanz777 13 pts

 diablonn I also got it recently and it is amazing. If the campaign is 25hrs long I will be very pleased

DarkJessie20 22 pts

If the combat is good and the Puzzles are challenging and their are awsome boss fights then  its the game for me

 

arcanitejedi 12 pts

oh man if they can get the RPG elements work well with the action the first one had

this games gonna be great!

A little sceptical about the introduction of an RPG-style loot system. I enjoyed the first one as a straightforward, hack-and-slash adventure - all the fun of sword-and-sorcery combat without the need to choose what colour socks your character is wearing.

 

The main problem I found with the first Darksiders was that the controls weren't always quite as sharp as they could have been. For me, improved controls plus the bigger world that's been promised would have been enough.

 

That's not to say it won't work, or that reworking the game mechanic is the wrong thing to do. I just wonder if it won't put off those who, like me, maybe lack the patience (or sophistication :) ) for micromanagement.

MrPopek 11 pts

i really enjoyed the first part, looks good so far

ChriEOS 5 pts

Hope with such a long story mode that it won't get boring

Venom_Raptor 59 pts

Sounds great, like the sound of the loot system and 25 hour main story!
