Darksiders 2

[NotoriousBIG420]

I think having a third game with Co-op of the last two brothers would be a badass way to finish up the story.

Pestilence is a girl it looks like:

Strife I think or Famine

[Edd Strid]

Yep the fourth would be Famine. Hadn't seen that picture before, nice art.

I only remember that due to the Red Dwarf episode.

[NotoriousBIG420]

If this is Famine he would make a fuckin badass tattoo.



@Edd

They seem to be calling him Strife instead of Famine.

[NotoriousBIG420]

Actually after reading Darksiders wikipedia page they are calling the 4 horsemen War, Death, Strife & Fury

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darksiders

"A war has raged between Heaven and Hell since the dawn of creation with neither side gaining the advantage over the other. Amidst this conflict, a mediator group - The Charred Council - arose, and dedicated themselves to maintaining the balance, using the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (War, Death, Strife and Fury), to intervene and deal justice among both forces where necessary."

If you click the link "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" in the quote from wikipedia they list them as War, Death Pestilence & Famine. Odd..

I love the art style in Darksiders and its sequel. Its super X-TREEM 90's-ness fits the comically grim story, plus it's colorful. I mean, it could be subdued and realistic...

[Edd Strid]

Thanks for the correction BIG. Maybe they've changed it to make it easier writing for the other two if there's to be more games.

#darksiders2 is reserved for the general ickiness of the world (like the "foodcourt" area of a Target), inspired by Darksiders 2's artistic direction, which looks like an emo teenager's Hot Topic wet dream.

That's not DmC

What a load of old balls.

Ha ha

[Arttemis]

Ugh. Let's keep the discussion about sequels that improve the series.

[Mr. Gobbldigook]

I'm still playing through the first one again. Just finished the greiver fight and I'm headed to kill the worm and pick up the horse. I've made it a little further than that but got stuck at one point when I was leaving the castle with the portals.

[NotoriousBIG420]

So did anyone get this game? I have mine reserved but don't have the cash to pick it up yet.

[GamesAreArt]

I got it. Been playing it a bit lately. Still in the norse world and what I've read seems to indicate there is more overworlds then the first one. I love the whole norse shit. The gameplay is pretty fun so far as well. dodging is a lot of fun as well as the looting system.

[Konnery]

Well somebody doesn't know what Norse is

[Triplzer0]

The game's a lot of fun, but the camera is kinda janky. It's a little hard to keep track of during fights. Also there's some slow down during some fights and when loading areas. I had my first game freeze today too.

The game could've used some more technical polish, but the gameplay itself is fun. If you liked the first game, you'll like this one. The new loot system is a great addition.

Fuck you, I'm like 1/3-1/2 Norwegian and part Swedish. also fuck off. They have the hammers and beards and shit, close enough. :P

The only good Norse games I've played are Skyrim and maybe The Witcher 2. Definitely some old school pagan philosophy going on with both of those, although Geralt struck me as more of a Native American shaman type than a literal Viking. Darksiders on the other hand, seems more like a bastardized reference to the Book of Revelations. You know, with the horsemen and all.

I also bought Thor just because my mom's side of the family is from Norway. Regret level = zero

True true. Have you had lutifisk? I've only heard of it. Not really that connected to the Scandinavian shit. However, my mother grew up in a tiny Scandinavian community in ND, so she would be more knowledgeable.

Edit: Never said it was historically accurate Norse, more like Hollywood Norse. Still like the thematic feel.
