So I recently got the Deathinitive Edition of DS2, and I'm having way more fun than I remembered with this game. Are there any more games similar to the Darksiders series? I want more, but don't really know where to look
>>344025618
Its a non nintendo Zelda.... so Zelda?
>>344025618
Dragon's Dogma.
DS1 was the Zelda clone, DS2 is Diablo loot with GoW gameplay, not so much zelda items.
Okami.
>>344025618
It's literally a reskin of Zelda, at least Darksiders 1. So the 3D Zelda games if you want more like Darksiders 1. And Okami which is another Zelda reskin.
Gameplay wise Darksiders 2 is more like God of War so play those, just know that GoW doesn't have loot drops.
>>344026285
You got me... I played 1 but not 2. Its still sitting in my backlog.
Darksiders 3 when?
>>344026468
Deep Silver said that Darksiders 3 depends entirely on sales of Darksiders 2 Definitive, unfortunately that bombed so never ever.
>>344025618
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, the sigil at the door of one of the first real boss in Darksiders 1, Tiamat, is a direct reference to it.
Hey me too
Just started it and man, it's pretty fucking good. I'm having way too mcuh fun and makes my heart feel warm.
DS1 and 2 feel like what a Zelda game should have been for the longest time. Minus the edgy characters but, DS charm is how Death and War are so trope.
>>344026541
It's awful when you're years late to a series you end up loving.
You could have helped with the important initial sales but nope.
I personally blame the original being released around the time of Dante's Inferno, GoW3 and Bayonetta.
The franchise just got swept under the rug.
>>344026541
Fucking Deep silver
>>344025618
Any action/adventure game with puzzles, basically. It's the shame the genre is pretty dead.
Soul Reaver is really close to DS, even the setting.
>>344026721
Is the Legacy of Kain series good? I remember I had an aunt that was really into it, but I never picked it up
>>344026907
Soul Reaver has much simpler combat and about 1000 times better writing.
>>344026907
>Tfw it's my favorite genre
JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP
>>344026541
That's really depressing. I wanna play as Strife or Fury
Ninja Gaiden Yaiba
>>344027007
>Is it good?
Yes, yes it is.
Yes it verily is, son.
>>344027251
well fug. I'm gonna have some disposable income here pretty soon, so i'm gonna have to seek them out when I'm done with DS2
>>344027165
Really? That Zombie edgy Ninja gaiden?
I also am really liking the character of Death. Something about him being a smarmy cunt to pretty much everyone makes me chuckle
>>344027354
Play them on order
Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2 and then Defiance
The story is easily one of the best stories ever written for a videogame and I assure you it will get you hooked.
>>344027457
It's actually surprisingly fun, if you're into GoW gameplay. Parrying and execution-chains are really satisfying.
>>344027474
Also the fact that he's not as edgy as you'd think a Death incarnation would be. He just wants to help his bro, and that's sweet.
>>344027474
Man that was a surprise, the trailers made him seem totally different.
someone said deadpool was like it
don't know, haven't played it
>>344027585
Yeah, the lack of edge is definitely a big selling point for me as far as the character goes. It's nice to see a departure from the 2dark4u stereotype
I recently reinstall Darksiders 2 because I never actually finished it.
Considered getting the new version, but it was too expensive for me, so the regular version will do fine
>>344027584
where does Blood Omen fit in? or is it unrelated to the core story?
>>344027354
Play Blood Omen, Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2 and Defiance. It starts being like DS with Soul Reaver but there's way more hidden areas than in DS, basically, DS is a Zelda-ier Soul Reaver.
You can play Blood Omen 2 too if you want to but it's subpar compared to the others.
>>344028152
Blood Omen is the first one in both chronological and release order, see >>344028217 .
>>344027584
>>344028217
Any idea how they run on emulators? I'm out of state for college and might not be able to fit my ps2 in my luggage on the way back
>>344028217
>>344027584
Not him but can you guys say the legit play order?
>>344028407
They are all available on PC if needed, all of them except perhaps Blood Omen are even available on GOG and Steam.
>>344028679
Play them in release order, Blood Omen, Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2 (I forgot which between Soul Reaver 2 and Blood Omen 2 was released before the other but it's not important), and Defiance
>>344029117
Wow, I just realized that I'm fucking retarded. I've seen them on sale on GOG before but forgot entirely that they were on PC
>>344025618
>tfw Voidwalker bug
go straight forward to Lilith. don't you dare turn right before seeing her, or your save is fugged.
>>344029117
Any idea on getting them to actually work on PC?
Soul Reaver 2 is literally unplayable past the first level and in Blood Omen 2, the menu text takes at least a minute to fully appear on screen.
Defiance is the only one that works
>>344029817
>tfw karn bugs out on the second stone in the foundry and won't fucking pick it up
I ran that fat bastard all around that place trying to get him to reset
>>344026907
Yeah Soul Reaver was the game that came to mind for me most often in relation to 2. It might just be because Death looks like a roided-up Raziel, though.
Whats better about Deathinitive Edition?
Did they fix the whole Earth city section? it was really buggy and with shitty obviously rushed gameplay in original.
I heard the Deathnitive edition on Steam is pretty much a fucked piece of buggy shit. Is there any other version to play, should I just suck it up and play the buggy version or do I have to just leave it be?
>>344031670
I got it on the xbone and have only encountered one actual bug so far. All in all, not bad
