MULTI Darksiders II (PC/X360/PS3) - What starts with War, ends with Death

[Radical]

Wow. This brings back some memories!! I for one, absolutely loved it! That could be due to the fact that this game meshes two of my most fav. genres in gaming (RPG & Hack-Slash Action) so awesomely! So sad THQ is no more & we never got the 3rd game =\

P.S, I was kinda rude towards Chandoo in that convo over there lol. I don't exactly remember why! ^_^

[MENTION=39657]FAIZY56[/MENTION]! I'd agree that some of the OSTs are quite good. They help create that ominous environment this game needs, while still keeping it light on the combat. Also, the OST you have shared have multiple tracks, if i am not mistaken. Anyway, the one at 1:40 - 2:31 is simply mesmerizing. Those violins are orgasmic. ^_^

[MENTION=9361]Radical[/MENTION]! When i played the 1st Darksiders, i had expectations that they'd create one game for each horsemen. My excitement was high when i head about the sequel. I still want 2 more games in this franchise :crazy:

I think not. This was a single piece and the bad part is that it was not included in game's OST.

The third was going to be EPIC to say the least! You will know when you end this one. Have fun.

You used to be like that back then with everybody. :tv:

Anyways, Nordic games got a hold of the Darksider IP once THQ went under. they don't seem to be doing anything with it atm but they might end up doing a third game at some point, who knows?

 

[Radical]

Yea, I used to be a total jerk lol.

Hopefully they get in touch with the original senior staff @Ex-Vigil & do make the third one, that would be so awesome!

HOLY SMOKES

I didn't pay attention to this earlier, but listening to more and more tracks in the game, i slowly started to get the feeling that its "JasperKyd". And as it turns out. It indeed was ^_^ This guy is godly in his composition. I mean, Assassins Creed, Hitman and many many others ... I am like, obsessed with his composition. By far the most amazing theme he produced for Assassins Creed, Ezio. And he is no less in Darksiders 2. Heck he is no less anywhere. (evil)

By far the most amazing theme he produced for Assassins Creed, Ezio.

That theme alone is one of the main reason Assassins creed 2 is my favourite in the series, just so BEAUTIFUL!!

Jesper Kyd da BEST!!!

*** The Guardian was awoken, destroyed and awoken again. ***​

I have also reached The Tree of Life, and the journey so far is going deeply entertaining, with gameplay brief and fun.

Plot took an interesting turn when:

Spoiler: show

we see another of our brother being the Corruption.

Fighting with that big Guardian guy was amazing experience. We had that huge green ground around us, and a huge boss to defeat. And It doesn't just stop there.

That boss fight had some SoTC feel to it. Plus the soundtrack I mention earlier, its single track for this battle i guess.

*** FINISHED ***​

"I am not your errand boy, maker" ~ Death. And Its ironic because Death spends almost all of his time running errands for others

The awesomeness level of Darksiders 2 is above the charts. Its just SO COOL ... and Cheesy. And its tremendous fun. Too few games come with such a thought out art work and game elements. The Despair (Horse), Dust (waypoint bird) to help roaming around, A long range and variety of of weapons, and the extensions like Death Grip (Grappling Hook), Void-walker (Portal), A Gun, and lots of side quests to complete.

Anyway, It was amusing completing puzzles with Dead Lords. It was extremely fun to have them run errands for you . Too bad that king "Lord of Bones" took it from it Nevertheless, we didn't quite lose that ability. Also, Hellguard Weapons on the earth were so damn powerful

I may be a wee bit disappointed with the lack of "Brief" ending. Other than that, the plot was focused enough to not leave loopholes.

My game was fully updated but i saw some game breaking glitches (like Infinite Falling). But i faced them only in DLC Missions. I was only able to complete half the DLC mission "Argul's Tomb". The other DLC mission (can't remember its name) wasn't accessible right from the start (because of infinite falling glitch).

This game does leave you wishing for Darksiders 3 The No. of Horseman can ever be FOUR. And we all know what that means exactly. :bounce
