Darksiders

[Tron Bonne]

Didn't the game sell better than Bayonetta?

Probably, but anyone who's familiar with Clover's track record for sales knows that nothing to brag about.

 

[Spidey17]

Thanks for all the answers guys. I'll have to wait a year or so for this game to go down to 30 bucks, GOWIII is the only new game I'm buying this year. Darksiders does look like a ton of fun though, and the closest I'll ever get to playing a Zelda game.

Bayonetta sold 1.1 million copies in Japan. No idea how much it sold in US, But i'd guess Baynetta got around 2 million.

That makes me sad.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Indeed. Everyone should at least play Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time on an emulator.

Bayonetta sold 1.1 million copies in Japan. No idea how much it sold in US, But i'd guess Baynetta got around 2 million.

Didn't even sell 1/8th of that. Unless you mean 2 million worldwide.

Yeah i meant 2 million worldwide. I'm glad to see that Darksiders is getting closer to 2 million. The fact it sold over a million already quarenteed us a sequel. And they already confirmed they're making it!

Well, that's awesome then. Glad I was wrong there. ****, I can die ****ing happy now knowing that something from Clover/Platinum did that well

I'd be more excited if I hadn't ordered a copy of RF:G this week

I playing the game, and i´m loving it.
The art is nothing less than extraordinary, the creatures, the weapons....everything...but then again, it´s Joe Madureira´s art, and it rocks.
Yeah, it takes a lot from other games, from Zelda to God of War; from Fable (the doors) to Half-Life (the monsters on the ceilings), but it´s amazing.
It´s like playing a Joe Madureira´s comic book

No, it sold 1.1 million worldwide.

Curse you Gameinformer for misleading me then!

 

[Tron Bonne]

No, it sold 1.1 million worldwide.

Well, that makes me much less happy, but I knew something wasn't right with a Clover game getting that high. Oh well, still pretty decent, pretty decent

 

[Benstamania]

EB is having an uber sale on this game, 39.99 brand new, Left 4 Dead 2 is also part of the deal.

 

[TheVileOne]

So is there any chance of the game getting some DLC?

Personally, I wouldn't mind a patch that lets me start the other play modes with all the stuff I got when I beat the game besides just the Abyssal armor.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

No DLC. There won't be a patch for a new game+.

 

[TheVileOne]

Why not? Dante's Inferno is getting DLC.

Arkham Asylum got DLC and exclusive Joker on the map packs for PS3.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, they already green lighted a sequel; maybe they're going to put their efforts into that instead of DLC for this one.

 

[Havok83]

for those who played both, how does this compare to Dante's Inferno? DI looks like a better game but the review scores say a different story

 

[Drz]

Well Darksiders has a great unique world and very enjoyable story witha wide cast of characters from heavenly angels to demonic... demons! And even some other myth creatures.

Both games are short, but Darksiders brings more uniquety to the table so theres always something little new there! If you love Zelda games but lack a wii, go for it!

 

[Spidey17]

That makes me sad.

Ha, wasn't expecting that reaction. Hell, with all the **** going in all the world today, it's actually sad that you find that sad. If I'm well enough to have internet access at home, as well as a PS3 with multiple games (I know you didn't know all that), than I think I'm doing way better than the mean 21 yr old. I might love the God of War series, but if someone hasn't played one of those games, I won't feel bad (Nintendo fanboys don't hyperventilate, I'm not comparing Zelda to GOW, just making a comparison). But I will feel bad if someone here is over 18 and still a virgin... I know it's hypocritical, but I waited that long and I'm pissed at myself now that I know what it's like.t:

P.S. I know I'm too lazy to ever go thru with it, but I eventually want to buy a gamecube, as well as Twilight Princess, MGS remake, and Eternal Darkness. I think those are the only Nintendo exclusives I ever really wanted to try last gen. Oh, and Super Mario Party 1-119, I heard that series rocks!!!!!!

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Why not? Dante's Inferno is getting DLC.

Arkham Asylum got DLC and exclusive Joker on the map packs for PS3.

So? Not every game gets DLC.

Both games are short, but Darksiders brings more uniquety to the table so theres always something little new there! If you love Zelda games but lack a wii, go for it!

I've clocked in about 15 hours in Darksiders. DI is at best 2/3rds that from what I've heard.

 

[Benstamania]

I played VERY little of Darksiders...but honestly, I'm kinda glad to see a game not be ****ed out with pointless DLC. Focus on the second I say.

 

[jacobed]

I have played through both and Darksiders is definitely the better game. Everyone thinks that DI is the better looking game but that is because Darksiders isn't going for realistic graphics it is more stylized and I thought it was a much better game. The gameplay is better as it has a better progression system, the story is more refined with an excellent voice casting and the length can be more than double that of DI depending on how you play it.

Darksiders turned out to be quite a polarizing game, with people loving or hating it. Now you can decide which camp you're in when a chunky demo of the game hits later this month. The 90-minute demo, which hits the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on Feb. 25, contains the Twilight Cathedral, the entire first level of the campaign. The level includes puzzles, equipment to find and even two boss battles.
"We are really pumped to be bringing a playable demo for Darksiders to Xbox 360 and PlayStation3," said David Adams, General Manager of Vigil Games. "We really wanted to give gamers a true idea of the variety of gameplay that the game offers and so rather than just making a standard 20-minute demo version of the first few levels, we decided to give away this massive level and reveal the true essence of the game."
For those of you who have played through the game, I'm still desperately trying to get caught up on my library of titles, is that the sort of level that will sell this game? Is it a good cross-section of the full experience?

 

[Havok83]

its about time they release a demo. The game already got a price drop to $40 at Gamestop though which is pretty fast
