Darksiders Series

Blech. Not liking her look at all. Obviously Joe Mad ain't workin' on this one...

If you check out the comments section over at IGN most there don't like her look either. I think she looks cool especially her armor. But since I haven't played the previous games in the series I don't know if this a departure from that established style. I really hope they pull this off because the interview they gave about swiss cheese level design is something I enjoy exploring. The last game that I played with a interconnected game world was Bloodborne and a lot my enjoyment came from exploring the world and discovering new shortcuts.

She just looks about as generic as is artistically possible, imo. War and Death at least had a uniqueness to their design. I saw MAD's original design for her (for the Comic, I think), and they didn't come close to capturing the face or essence of the drawing

There is almost a demure quality to the original art. Almost gentle (look how she holds the weapon), which would be an interesting juxtaposition to the FURY monicker. This just screams "generic badass".Generic armor. Generic personality. It doesn't really matter. It just doesn't feel right to me. I don't know, maybe my perception will change with more info...
 
Tight latex wearing woman with a big whip. Remindered me of something, but I just can't put my finger on what.
 
I completely forgot this game was a thing, but I'm looking forward to it!

One thing I want them to completely ditch, is the sound of that effing whip. So jarring.
 
Still have my fingers crossed for this one:


Looks ok. I like the environment, but I hate her hair. The monster wasn't very scary. Didn't have much weight to it. I'm still Luke warm on it, but it's looking better.
 
Yeah I loved the first one especially, and I want this to be good...but right now it still looks a little generic.
 
The female protagonist thing is getting a bit overdone. It was cool at first, "hey let's make every fvcking game have a female lead, we'll show 'em!" Now it just seems blown out of proportion. Dat payback!

Yeah. It’s feeling a little played but it wouldn’t turn me off this.
 
This is how you drive a studio and/or publisher into the ground.

God of War looks so much better than this. If your budget is a fraction that of the market leader, you have to do something different.

Game might still end up being good. I just don't have much hope for it being successful.

Definitely
 
Fury is a female character already. It makes sense to have one of the other horsemen lead this game. I'm much more concerned with it being safe and thus generic. It's not an inclusion for the sake of it which I would have an issue with.

There are plenty of dude leads still out there.

Eh. Looks ok to me. TBH im more shocked at THQ Nordics aggressive expansion.

Dont forget to make her a redhead with some kind staff weapon or bow/arrow

Yeah, I remember that about Fury, it just seems overdone with devs trying to be edgy and different when it ends up look just as(or more) generic than some dudebro. The character design, in general, is just bad imo too. Yeah and if she has some type of bow and arrow it'll be funny.

Which is kinda a hilarious since bows take a lot of strength to use effectively (armor piercing bows were had around 110-120 lb pulls) and aren't all that nimble, and the average sword/axe weighed ~2 lbs.

I am looking forward to this game. I have been looking for a fun hack & slash game since Ninja Gaiden. GOW PS4 is nice, but it always feels restrictive in movement & freedom.

Well Spider-man does it for me, to be fair, now I am aching for more. Darksider 3 will be released on Nov 27.

After watching a few video reviews, I decided to pass up this game.
I don’t understand changing proven formula & make it dark soul wannabe. No one asked for it.
Hard and far apart checkpoints are poor design ( except for dark soul maybe). Most games got it right by allow multiple saves and start you near where you left of if you die (like begin of a hard Plattformen) or begin of boss fight.

Also the exploration and puzzle are uninspiring.

Now I need to look for an other game to fill my 2 week sick leave.
 
The game just seems so uninspired. I bet its just a cash grab to stir up old fans of the series. Reviews are not looking good.
 
I would strongly consider getting this if it weren’t for the technical issues. That’s a no go
 


Darksider 3 is the diablo 3 of Darksider.
Darksider 2 add upon Darksider 1, then in Darksider 3, remove them & change to Darksoul wannbe for seek of being 'diffferent'.

I guarantee you this game is nothing like Dark Souls.
