i was actually not a fan of darksiders. it was released same day as bayonetta, and I picked bayonetta up and loved it. I eventually got a chance to play darksiders and it just seemed to slow, as if it was more drawn out than it needed to be.
@ Carl Sagan - Creativity isn't really necessary when you do everything right. I think Darksiders was a really solid game that even Jim Sterling was a fan of.
Wasn't this confirmed a long time ago? Maybe that was just them saying they plan on making a sequel, but I thought I already knew this.

Personally I liked Darksiders a lot, so I'm happy to see this confirmed.
I don't feel the game is aptly compared to DMC, GoW, or Bayonetta as those games are all much more intensely combat-focused.
As a whole I think it is really much closer to something like the 3D Zelda games.

Awesome, I loved the first one. I really hope they do some sort of four player co-op mode featuring all four horsemen.
It's like post-apocalyptic Zelda with demons and angels.
I loved it, even though I hated games like it (GoW and such, not Zelda. I loves me some Zelda.) Probably my favorite skill in the game was the one where War winds up and bats enemies a far distance. I loved smashing enemies into lava pits with that.

Have you even played God Of War????It's a completely different game, and it should stay that way. Darksiders is a dungeon crawler that just happens to borrow some of GOW's action elements, and elements from several other games as well. Maybe THQ should drop the whole dungeon crawler scene for Darksiders 2 and make it an all out action game, or a puzzler where you use portals to explore the environment? But then it wouldn't be Darksiders anymore would it???? Dumbass.
That said I liked Darksiders for what it was. It was a lot of fun, but it just needed to be a bit longer. Actually a lot longer. I'm pretty sure I cleared it in just a few days. I'll give part 2 a try for sure though.

I personally loved this game but I'm not going to pretend it was completely unique it took ideas from many other games. THQ were in financial trouble though they had to rely on proven formulas to try and ensure they were investing in games that would sell.
Can't wait for this game but I hope they switch it up a little and not try and do a yearly franchise scenario.

If they do release it I hope they improve the combat. And by that I mean the damage you get dealt versus how much you seem to inflict on enemies. There are multiple enemies to me that it seemed to take way too long to kill. It was especially rough until the end of the first boss fight because of the limited health
I must be one of the few but I absolutely LOVED Darksiders. Couldn't put it down and it quickly became one of my top games of the past few years or so.
I still don't understand why people liked Darksiders. After a couple hours I just stopped caring, then I tried to just blow through it and then got to that tower thing. After about 10 or 20 minutes rerouting a stupid beam, I lost any motivation I ever had to beat it.
Loved the first one so a sequel is music to my ears. Would be cool if some of the other horsemen were payable, even if it were only for select portions of the game.
@little actually your the dumbass for thinking that Darksiders was to short. I beat God of War 3 in 5 hours. God of war would be a deeper experience if they added a little of what makes Darksiders pretty good.
I don't understand either why people compare it to DMC and Bayonetta. Darksiders is a zeldaesque adventure game, Bayonetta is just about boob... sorry flashy action, it's two completely different games!
Besides, Darksiders had one badass effin ending sequence =D

God of War is an action game that really isn't meant to be longer than 8hrs tops. Darksiders is a dungeon crawler that should have at least provided as much playtime as Zelda......Dumbass.

@Little man you really love the word dumbass knumbnuts. Anyway action games that can be beaten in 5 hours fail. They need to do whatever it takes to make it 10 hours. If that means putting a puzzle in there or adding more upgrading options for you to custimize so be it.
@superjay
I can't think of any action game of the same caliber that can't be beaten in 5-10 hours. Games like that are meant to throw you into scenes full of fast action, killer attacks to use on tons of enemies, and graduating difficulty levels that challenge you to play again. If it has a decent story to boot then that's typically a bonus. Start adding level exploration, advanced leveling up, item collection, or puzzles and you start to get something different. You get Darksiders. ............ Dumbass. (yes I do like that word)

@Little LOL I understand what you are saying but maybe if they had a DLC to extend the gameplay. Gow 1&2 seemed a lot longer.
@superjay
I'll agree with you on GOW 1 and 2 feeling longer, but I think the answer there is they just "feel" longer. The story in GOW3 hussles you along, and it's supposed too. Kratos was hell bent on swift revenge. And that's where Darksiders needed a little help. They needed to draw War's investigation into events out a little more. The story and the game were over too quick. It was fun while it lasted though.

Darkksiders is an exceptionally crappy and boring game with no creativity and some fugly-ass art and character designs.
I just beat the first one yesterday and this was one of the games I was hoping to hear about most at E3. YES!

You should definitely give it a spin. It's not mind-blowingly good or anything, but you'll be surprised by how much fun you start having and how much there is to do. It's pretty much a Zelda clone but with deeper combat and more customization options. It's occasionally frustrating, but does so many things well that it's hard to fault. My favorite feature: Unlike almost every other game that involves cliff-scaling and ledge-crawling (GoW, Zelda, Uncharted, AC), in Darksiders you move QUICKLY while climbing, scaling, and hanging. Seriously, I can't believe all those other designers are clinging so tightly to realism. This was the first time in a game where I didn't groan while having to ledge-jump or cliff-scale.

Darksiders was great. It was totally creative, just because you take mechanics from other games doesn't make it uncreative. unoriginal maybe.
The devs of darksiders stated the whole way through that they were trying to use the good points of zelda and metroid and other games etc. It's not about ripping off. It's about taking what works and building something cool on it. All games use innovation through iteration. Every game iterates on other's ideas. Darksiders was simply more honest, open and positive about doing it.

LittleBigD, why are you feeding the Troll? He posts shit about anything PS3 related. It's what he's programmed to do, there's no point in fighting back... just let it go, dude. I played the demo for the first one, and I honestly didn't like/care for it much. So I probably won't try the 2nd one out, past the demo, either.
