Darksiders 2

[Wolvieboy17]

I got a little heated, not youtube but the hip-hop boards I go on, I apologize. BUT you shouldn't make false excuses and say it was a mistake. In your previous post you referenced a conference before e3 which means you were obviously replying to my last post where I referenced e3 and where I also stated I didn't mean to derail the thread. So like I said before there was no need to bring it up after I pro-actively chose to move on.

Uh, no, I was replying to the post above you which mentioned E3... In fact that's the only reason you mentioned it anyway, right? No one's making excuses, it was an honest mistake. Now you're accusing me of lying or making things up?

Come on buddy.

[NasFiasco]

Yeah, you're right, it was two. I thought I'd seen you post something similar in the DMC thread. And my post was only 5 mins after yours, I simply hadn't refreshed the page in the time from when I opened it up to when I posted.

I'm not in the mood to spell things out for you, i'll leave it alone.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

You're just making yourself look like an idiot... I hadn't refreshed the page, and was responding to Jacobed's post, where he mentioned E3. Not yours.

Jeeeesus, welcome to the Hype buddy.

 

[NasFiasco]

I agree that they'll show more gameplay vids around e3, but if they're waiting until then that's only 20 days before the game comes out.

Either way I didn't mean to derail this thread to TASM I just wanted to comment on what the previous poster said and how it's great that Darksiders 2 is slowly trickling out some good gameplay vids/interviews along with the trailers.

There is a games convention before E3, it's only a few weeks away. We're going to see footage there.

Can I also say how tedious it is that you are basically having the exact same discussion across 3 different threads? Can you just pick one and stick to it?

I see. I was under the impression that when specifically addressing multiple people on this board, a poster would use quotes to differentiate between which person they were replying to. Since your reply had the word "You" in it, and was directly under my post, I assumed your entire post was solely addressing me and the most recent post I had written. I understand now buddy.


Back to Darksiders! Did anyone have qualms with the graphics for the first game? As far as gameplay goes I loved it, but thought the graphics looked kinda cheap, almost like a ps2 game.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

*sigh* and as I explained, when I was posting, Jacobed was the only post above me. Jacobed and you were having the same discussion in two threads, I wanted things to get back OT. Evidently so did you, so no harm no foul since I realised the mistake and apologised... You called me a 'dumb ****'. Just so we're clear.


Yeah, Darksiders 2 is definitely one of my most anticipated games this year.

 

[NasFiasco]

Yeah, you're right, it was two. I thought I'd seen you post something similar in the DMC thread. And my post was only 5 mins after yours, I simply hadn't refreshed the page in the time from when I opened it up to when I posted. It happens, deal with it. Of course, upon realising that mistake, I quite easily could have edited my post and retracted the comment..... But after your response, I don't feel like I need to anymore.

Although i'm not looking for one, telling me to "deal with it" is not an apology.

I don't know where you're getting that from. Jacobed and I were not having the same conversation with each other outside of this thread.

Please stop responding, every time you do there's an inaccurate fact thrown in and I feel obligated to reply. I'm honestly not saying that to be a d*ck or keep this thing going, I just don't want to let an incorrect statement about the conversation slide by. Plus, it's like discussing politics, neither one of us is going to convince the other to switch parties, so we might as well agree to disagree.


Considering Darksiders 2 is one of your most anticipated games for this year, what did you think about the graphics for the first one?

 

[jacobed]

Yeah i think we touched on the same thing in two different threads haha whoops. I loved the graphics from the first game. I think alot of people dismissed them as crappy but it was pretty obvious that they were more artistic than just the team not being able to do good graphics.

 

[KALEL114]

Yeah, lets get this back on topic please.

 

[NasFiasco]

I understand the art style approach to the game but even with that in consideration It still felt a bit cheap to me. Especially after that intro cgi scene that looked really good at the time. Either way the second one looks a lot better and not as distractingly bad-graphics wise.

 

[Soapy]

I thought the first game looked fantastic.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, I loved the first games art style.... Basically like Joe Mads art in virtual form.

Darksiders 2 will be a 'day one' Wii U launch title

(2 days ago)

​

Darksiders 2 is set to launch on the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 on June 26. The Wii U is slated to launch sometime around the "year-end season." When Nintendo unleashes its newest system on the world, Darksiders 2 will be there.

Word comes from Hayden Dalton, lead designer at Vigil Games, who revealed the info in an interview with Digital Spy. "That's been very interesting to see what those guys are doing, and they're making efforts to make sure we do use it in more than a slapdash way," Dalton said in regards to how Darksiders 2 will use the Wii U's unique controller. "It's basically the core game, but then with added abilities to do certain things that you can't do on the other consoles."

"We're not basically heavily changing the core game to support the control system, but the control system will be an enhancement of the core game," Dalton said. One example he provided was possibly being able to switch equipment on the fly -- as the player is running, they can tap on the controller and instantly change equipment, rather than having to pause and navigate through a menu. "That's huge, it's not breaking up the game in a way, I'm not going into a menu and assigning it, I'm literally just tapping as I'm playing."

As much as I dislike Nintendo, this WII U touch screen controller is a great idea. Having easier ways to switch weapons or look at the map is a step in the right direction for all games. Hopefully, aside from WII U, the next gen consoles have a touch screen controller as well.

What does everyone think about the gamestop pre-order bonus for Darksiders II? According to EBC, they actually got levels. No one knows how many hours the levels actually represent, but more than 2 or 3 would be unacceptable, imo. I personally can't wait til gamestop eventually goes out of business, due to gamers no longer accepting all the greedy bs that goes on there. Idk if they need competition, or if all games need to go away from physical media or what, we'll just have to wait and see.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

The last thing that needs to happen to games is they go away from physical media. You'll never pay less than $60 for a game.

 

[Soapy]

Not sure if serious...

I buy and sell all my games at Gamestop so I hope they don't go out of business anytime soon.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Paying full price is worth the pure convenience of downloadable games. I absolutely love Games on Demand.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

No, it's not. I'd rather buy the physical game on sale and keep the space on my HDD than pay full price and download it. I'll stop playing games if that ever happens.

 

[Soapy]

Yeah. Technological progress giving us a better way of doing things sure does suck.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

That's why that whole iTunes thing never caught on.

 

[jacobed]

I dont get why having the physical disc is better if you're paying the same amount

 

[Wolvieboy17]

If i'm paying full price for a game on it's day one release, or even picking up a pre-order, how would being able to download it instantly NOT be amazingly convenient? A midnight launch in your own loungeroom.
