IGN Preview: The First 16 Minutes of Darksiders Genesis
- Thread starter R.T Straker
- Start date
I didn't realize there are no skill trees, gear, or leveling. My interest has gone down considerably, but I will probably still get the game when it gets discounted later on.
No skill trees or levelling? That's a pass from me, a shame.
No skill trees or leveling? Now I'm actually interested.
Its actually refreshing to see a game that isn't about levels and stats to "work" towards, and if I needed those hooks there's literally every other game on the market chasing those same dragons. If the game is fun on its own moment-to-moment merits and provides variety, it'll have replayability.

Did anybody actually read the article? There's still a character progression system in place in the form of cores that sounds like building out a sphere grid in FFX. There's also light/heavy attacks, and blocking. The article emphasizes that it's more like Darksiders as an isometric game rather than a pure Diablo clone. It sounds much better to me than a bunch of loot. There's no shortage of Diablo-style ARPGs or loot games, especially on PC (where I'll be playing).
So this game looks actually kind of fun?
A lot more interesting than Darksiders 3 abandoning it's classic hack-n-slash approach to be yet another From Soft clone.
Mitch from IGN had some good stuff to say about it and he's really into fighting and action games, seems like he has a good grasp on these things.

You reviewing it right now? Interesting. Wonder when the embargo lifts?
I wonder where they go for Darksiders 4... do they make it play like Vanquish, or Gears, or a third person Doom?
Strife doesn't have any powers beyond shooting, right?

I think the horsemen are basically all DMC Dante in that they can do lots of stuff like teleport and double jump, have superhuman strength and agility etc
Guns are basically just his main weapon of choice.
It always seemed solid really. Also, honestly Darksiders 3 was a better Souls-like than Jedi: Fallen Order.

So as I alluded to earlier I can't say much due to embargo.
What I can say is if anybody in here remembers how much fun Tomb Raider and the Guardian of Light was.
This is like that, with a much bigger scale, and it fully embraces the Darksiders universe.
From tight gameplay design, soundtrack choices, and references to the other games.
So far it has blown my expectations away. Also it has fantastic local split screen AND online co-op.

I have Darksiders 3 on PS Plus. Not sure if I should use classic or default combat.
