Darksiders - The Wrath of War

[topgear]

Official DarkSiders thread - post in.

[vamsi_krishna]

Developed By Vigil Games, Published by THQ... Darksiders Follows the adventures of 'War'. One of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse. The game is a Third Person Perspective Action adventure game. Which has plenty of Hack 'n Slash, exploration and puzzle solving to do. Which not only lets you to play in post apocalyptic setting but also during the actual apocalypse itself.

The game was released on Xbox 360, PS3 initially. And on PC eventually. The PC version has a great significance as it is hard to find a worth-while Hack 'n slash game on the platform.

As of myself, I completed the game in Medium difficulty and spent nearly 20 hours exploring the game. And am thinking about playing it again in Apocalyptic(Hard) mode.

The thread is solely dedicated to the game discussion. No matter what the platform is.

If you have liked games like prototype, BR1,2 then you will love this one as well.

I personally think it's the best hack and slash game I've ever played.

hmmm...seen the gameplay video...it is not as fast as DMC4,Bayonetta,Ninja Gaiden

[vamsi_krishna]

To be honest, Tiamat is pretty easy. You have to just use the Evade button(RB) and should be quick at picking the sticky bombs and lighting them.

When it is rushing at you.. Don't jump the other side. Evade to your left or right. I was jumping in order to avoid the dash. But most of the times ended up taking damage.

After restarting 2-3 times... I managed to kill it by taking minimal damage. I lost 3 slots of life, IIRC.

i saw the gameplay but wasn't too impressed with it as i was with Castlevania. Hope Castlevania comes for pc too.

[vamsi_krishna]

Don't even compare this game to DMC, Ninja gaiden. Those games' combat system is time tested, deep. Take God of war for example.. It's combat system is not even close to DMC, Ninja gaiden. But still, overall game is lot more better than those two.

Its Darksiders.. Not DMC. Its uniqueness lies in setting, abilities, etc. There are various weapons, mods to weapons, abilities, Level Ups, etc. Which are not present in DMC or Ninja Gaiden.

I'm using stoneskin ( armor mod ), and some kind of soul mod for the sword and one damage mod for the scythe and upgraded some sort of skill of that throwing blade.

[topgear]

only fight with tiama left to complete the Twilight cathedral part.

[Piyush]

is this game heavy on keyboard just like DMC series?

[topgear]

^^ The game is heavy on mouse rather than keyboard.

The only keyboard button you will press heavily are spacebar and alt.

[vamsi_krishna]

I will recommend playing with controller. I first tried with keyborad and mouse and later with controller. Believe me... The game is best enjoyed with a controller. Button mashing is so much fun when playing with a controller. Where as with keyboard.. button mashing is pain in somewhere.

[Piyush]

^^ok...
i remember that i ruined some of my k/b keys -I,O,P,J,K,L while playing DMC3 SE
and my left hand was cursing me

[vamsi_krishna]

On Twilight Cathedral now. This game is challenging in Apocalyptic mode.

[hdknitro]

dissappointed to see the gameplay vedios

[vamsi_krishna]

come on.. it is very good.

[topgear]

yep, you have to play it to believe it.

[chavo]

only 1 word
Darksiders = God Of War

[vamsi_krishna]

Well.. is it a bad thing? It took the gameplay concepts from God of war, portal, DMC. And implemented those perfectly.

[himadri_sm]

darksiders is really, really good...it may have borrowed elements from different games but they are very well implemented..you'll have nothing to complain about once you start playing...if the graphics were better, this game would have been amazing...

[ico]

Played this game and didn't like it much.

[vamsi_krishna]

Well, initial levels are a bit slow phased. But after first hour, the games picks up and never slows down.

[rhitwick]

Seems I'm a bit late to post her. Started playing this game few days ago. A bit amateurish grafix, means its not glossy like other few games.

But action is gr8. I love sword related games, it tops when its a hack n slash.

Now on mission to kill tiama. Just got the blade (just bole to just )

[gameranand]

Well I also played this game and really enjoyed it but didn't completed. Damn ME. But this game has a kind of unique appeal which less games have. Its not that hard on my controller as DMC4 was so I can say that this game is less button mashing game than DMC but damn its a great game.

[rhitwick]

I need help here guys.

I can't access youtube so can't view exact solution.

I'm in "The Hollows" part. In a room with three platforms. Each has its own control by which te platform goes up or down.

I managed to bring the block till platform2 but from here I'm not able to take it till platform 3. Neither I could found a way to climb platform 3 so that I can bring it down.

Help.
