....I've never even heard of Darksiders and this explanation plus the other one makes it so much easier to know what the hell is going on. I was watching another youtuber play Darksiders 3 and was completely lost. I hope you play it for us too! Thanks MassiveG!
well say that the weapon transform and has enchantments cool but why remove the loot on all the other parts of armor sets/ some extra stats and a build like DS 2
I liked DS III, even though it was way shorter and was missing A LOT of the smaller stuff from DS I and DS II. Hopefully DS IV and DS V will be even better !!!!!
Shorter then 2 but actually longer then 1 by a couple hours or so (pretty close though, 1 takes me around 12 hours each new playthough but that might be becasue I know where to get everything in the game as I have played it like 12 time across 3 console platforms). If you are a completionist/achievement hunter then I bet 3 would be much shorter though as the achievements are no where near as hard as some on 1 and 2... or if you plow through the game without searching every most side areas it would be much shorter as well (if you only follow the compass and never explore). I too finished it recently and liked it (playing again now as I played the first time on easy mode to get the story and get used to the new counter system as well as know which sockets and upgrades to do on my more serious playthrough). Really good considering it was made on a very tight budget by a very small team. Also the neat thing is if you pay close attention it follows 1's story beat almost note for note (like falling to Earth with a Watcher, getting traversal power from a new key figure in the lore (Samael/Hollow Lord), meeting Ulthane, fighting on broken overpasses, getting to the next area by dropping a piece stone through the floor of a cathedral, and so on). All in all I am impressed and happy for this addition... and it seems sales are good enough to warrant another already if what the CEO said about the budget is true (they budgeted it to only need to sell 100,000 copies... for comparison old THQ budgeted and expected 4 million sales from Darksiders 2).
STRONGLY disagree about the lack of a map. I think it hinders exploration. I'm working on my third playthrough and because I have no map I still am unsure if I have seen everything. Also I would have liked a manual save option. Mostly so I could have saved prior to entering the final rift to face Pride... but... thats a quibble.
Darksiders III took a while to grow on me, but after a while I got in love with the combat. The dodging feels so SATISFYING, especialy with the added slow motion to signal you got it right. And similar to Bayonetta, it's also very rewarding, while the later rewards youy with a slow-motion moment where even large bosses are vulnerable to Crowd Control (using the Whip in Bayonetta II in Witch Time is completely bonkers) Darksiders III rewards the dodge with the ultimate "FUCK OFF!" attack possible in any weapon you're using. I only though the size, map and level design was a bit lackluster since DS I and II had places we could trully call DUNGEONS, with all the puzzles to solve, with DSIII being scarce, although the Void DLC was where the devs heard these criticism and gave us a really fun, long-run dungeon to unlock throughout the game, burn our braincells on the puzzles and keep us on our toes with challenging bossfights that perfectly blend all 3 games's styles. Also, I got this game on Switch back in 2020 and it's a PERFECT port!
A late comment reply, but i have seen you around on a lot of Darksiders videos like Whitelight's three-hour analysis or MayorHairBear's great review series, and as a random stranger on the internet and fellow Darksiders fan, it's heartening to see people be so positive about 3. I don't know what i would think of it myself yet, as i haven't played it, but Darksiders 3 thus far seems the most divisive out of all the Darksiders games. The entire series as a whole appears to be divisive between titles, with people loving, disliking or being in-between between *any* of the entries. Another person i keep coming across on Darksiders videos is a user by name of Hynotama. He articulates himself well on why he loves Darksiders 2 most of all, but seems to have a *vehement* hatred for Darksiders 3, with some well-argumented points, but sometimes with the way he expresses himself about DS3... i think it seems he ironically has most in common with Fury out of all the Horsemen in how he lashes out at the game and puts DS2 on a pedestal. You are quite the opposite of his case. Like i said, i know how contentious Darksiders 3 is and there's stuff in that game i do not agree with or think could have been done better. Even more so after learning about Fury's original depiction in the comics. But on the other hand, seeing people speaking fondly of Darksiders 3, and it for some others being their entry into the series, even if others might disagree (but hopefully in a sober, respectful manner) is a thing that brings a smile to one's face to witness.
One game’s combat that I like the most was castlevania lord of shadows. I really like how combo heavy it was and you had to make sure that you don’t get hit and also how important your magic abilities. I my opinion castlevania lord of shadows combat was one of the best I’ve played. But this game did a very good job with its and the whole doge counter was pretty well done.
Loved the first game, second game kinda lost me with the loot system. For me having 1 weapon known is kinda badass, the chaoseater, armagedon blade and such. Death not having a signature weapon is kind of wierd for me, the whole Deaths schyte thing, while you can find a random ass schyte in a chest or a mob drop and they are better than what you had. Do not like that, much prefer the way first and third game handle the loot system. Also War is by far my favorite of the 4. His voice acting, story and progression are amazing. Problem I had with second game is no matter what difficulity you play as you do not feel op. War has 10 health bars late game. YOU FEEL OP AS SHIT. Now death has amazing monemts in cuts scenes as well. But I just prefer War.
Random person on the internet here, but that's surprising to read in regards to not feeling overpowered as Death. It's the first time i've ever come across that-- most people around say that the Possessed Weapon system in Darksiders 2 can trivialize enemy encounters thanks to the customizability in said Possessed weapons. For example, if you can create a Possessed Weapon with a high Crit chance, as well as some sort of Elemental Effect (Fire, Lightning, Frost, Freeze) or Wrath or Health regeneration/steal, then you can: 1. Quite often hit quite hard thanks to the high Crit chance 2. Utilize Wrath abilities like the Teleport Slash often, or just tank hits, without needing to resort to potions. The second option works well with armor that offers resistance against some sort of hitstun from enemies, too. It can be said that making a proper equipment build is half of what makes the combat system in Darksiders 2, since normal equipment has passive effects that may lend itself well to different builds depending on the player's preference I do get what you mean with finding it strange that Death does not really have a weapon to call his own as such, though. I think that can be explained by the fact that he is not on a Council-approved mission and thus is denied his full power-- including his actual scythe(s) and thus has to make do with other weapons. In a Darksiders comic, this was a plot point for a mission to earth where the mission *was* approved by the Council, but Death wasn't allowed to use Harvester. So he had to barter with Vulgrim for a replacement weapon. From what i know of the lore, Harvester's true form does appear in DS2, but only when Death accesses his Reaper Form . He's not allowed his full power, like i said earlier, so he can only maintain that form for a short while. On the other hand, it could be argued that all the secondary weapons are a way to show Death's skill and proficiency with weapons, as both a Nephilim and Horseman. The Nephilim have history of naught but warfare and conflict. But arrogant and flashy as they sometimes may be, and even have fun in what they do, i don't think the Horsemen would look a gift Ruin in the mouth, and thus gladly get tools that help them in their goal. In any case, i'm glad to see a Darksiders (and specifically War) fan and one with unique feedback like this. Apologies if this long comment was annoying, but if you took the time to read through it all and consider it-- thank you for doing so. Wish you a good rest of your day/week, and take care.
@@jurtheorc8117 i read the entire comment and it's bot as long to read as it must have been to write. Here is the deal. You may notice my comment wqs posted a month ago. And after that i had tine to revisit ds2 and i change my mind a bit. For example Last time i beat ds2 was 2013 or 14. And back then i barely knew English and how the game works. I had other times i revisited it but never gotten to late game content. My opinion is altered but not changed possesd weapons are quite unique. But this does not change my opinion that in comics death has wars sword literally Peirce his chest. And he cuts his arm off(the reason why war has a prosthetic instead of his left arm) and in moments heals completely. We do not get to feel that op in game.
@@Strahinja_Djordjevic Oh wow, that was a fast reply! Thank you for taking the time to be reading and writing a reply to the comment. Those are all fair points. Extra context on things can go very far in clearing up things, so thank you for that. Does sound like your opinion has shifted towards a positive direction, so that does make me glad. Fair point too in regards to absolutely tanking being stabbed by Chaoseater. I haven't experimented with it yet, but i think with a high Resistance stat you can perform combos without being interrupted or put into hitstun while being hit. That is as close as i can imagine to acquiring that feeling of just not giving a crud to whatever hits you. To a lesser extent, Buckler type secondary weapons may be of aid in this. Their unique charge attack is Death blocking like War does (bucklers are the only way to actually block in the entire game). But if you pull up the Buckler *right* as an enemy is about to hit you, and you immediately press the Secondary Attack button, Death returns either a large portion of the total amount of the damage that would have been dealt. It's cool how the secondary weapons have some unique stuff like that! Oh, and aforementioned Possessed Weapons can also help in healing immediately. Achidna's Fangs are great for that, if i recall correctly. In any case, seeing what effect a Resistance and Healing-based leads to would be an experiment for me to have a look at. And as it is now, preferences differ and as such, you don't have to do anything else with this information. But i am grateful that you so quickly took the time to reply, explain and give further context! I hope that future Darksiders ventures may be more fun again for you and many others. Wish you a good rest of your day!
@@jurtheorc8117 it really seems you car about the franchise. And i do too. Just for the context, my opinion has not shifted towards positive, as it was never bad in the first place. This was always one of my favorites. I just pointed thing i didn't understand. Thank you as well. Very respectful community we got here
@@Strahinja_Djordjevic Aaah, i see. Definitely, Darksiders is a franchise close to my heart. Thank you for further clarifying as well. I'm glad the community is generally respectful too, it's a thing to not take for granted, a thing to cherish and maintain. Much like the balance itself.
Darksiders 3 was great imo, forgive me, I loved the Dark Souls format and offered some challenge to veteran fans. Plus in all honesty, I like how each game feels different. It really drives home the whole, FOUR HORSEMEN, FOUR GAMES.
Yeeee, in DS3 you really feel the combat it's a strategic challenge you have to pay attention full time is like you're in fury skin, DS3 is for someone who just like me enjoys a good challenge
The thing i hate the most is that game saves only on Vulgrum plates. That’s the only thing i dislike in Darksiders III. Second game was exciting af, also long enaugh. Missing the mini map but every other aspect of III is amazing
I love the Zelda/Prince of Persia game style of DS1 and 2. Not sure if I will enjoy DS3 since it's more Darksouls style and I do not like it at all! But I'll give it a try for sure...
I personally didnt enjoy ds3. Ds1 and ds2 are way superior. The game lacks so much, i enjoyed in the previous titles, like executions, skill tree, advance and get new combos, platforming/zeldalike, the devil may cry like combat. Its a huge downgrade imho. The dark souls theme does not fit darksiders. Imagine playing dmc, fghtng against 5 enemies, but 1 combo and you are dead. It misses its target and lost his goal. Absolutely not excited for their future projects.
The worst mistake is trying to make the game have a souls like style, but having enemies surround you or have them jump at you from from random places like a hack and slash game. Still a fun but some deaths are just cheap, and this is coming from someone that has played dark souls 1-3, sekiro, nioh, Bloodborne, fallen order.
not to mention you lose way too much health from falling when it seems Fury can always teleport back to the ledge. Death does the same way and lose absolutely no HP (althoug for some reason your HP bar blinks like you take dmg)
Im new to this series. Just played the first game and didn't like it at all. Very boring maps, and puzzles. The combat was ok, but it definitely got on my nerves at times. The protagonist War was....alright. All in all, a very underwhelming game, 6/10 for me. Hearing that the later games are very different gives me hope that I will like those more.
@@OTBASH You're in the minority for sure, but I can see why you wouldn't like Darksiders 1 much. For me personally, Darksiders 2 is the one I really don't like. I've barely played 10 hours I think, if that.
she is a horsemen with no horse! ENOUGH SAID! I know the devs are limited with the resources they were given but you can't take away a horsemens horse of course smh
To be fair, War didn't have his horse for like, half or maybe two thirds of the first game. So Fury not having one available is whatever. Wouldn't of really worked in the areas they designed in Darksiders 3 anyway.
Each Darksiders game is decent to great, but they have progressively got worse. They ruined the combat in 3, its far to dodge heavy, and to take way too much damage. The new navigation system(or lack of) is terrible, it actually discourages me to explore. It looks like a Darksiders game, but 3 doesn't feel like a Darksiders game. It feels like a dumbed down dark souls with a Darksiders skin. IMO the 1st game is the best, and most memorable. Before 3 came out I replayed 1 and 2 and realised I had forgot so much about 2, and remembered so much about 1. And I can't see 3 being all the memorable, well in a positive way at least. I'm guessing the 4th and final game(if it gets made) will take from Devil May Cry, as Strife's main weapon is a gun.
to me it feels more like the new God of War,wasn't a fan of the combat in that one and well a shallower version of it isn't really gonna peak my interests
Agree about the exploration thing with no map. Disagree about which is best. For me 2 was the high point. Its one of the very few games that I 100% completed all achievements for. Generally I cba. :)
It absolutely feels like a DS game, the problem is the low budget and lack of the same size development team they had with the first two. I hate the lack of a map, not minimap, but an overview map in the menu. The combat was given a mode that is more like the other two which drastically improves the game. Its not at all dumbed down, clearly you didn't finish the game or even play enough to follow the story if you thing that. The story and acting is just as strong as the other two.
@@EelofTheTRIMS i only played it but i think they made a remaster that changes colors in the game and lighting...that is not right it probably wasnt the original team either so its not true to the design and feel
@@peterpinto2011 its simply a slight graphical upgrade and port. They've barely changed anything and i'm pretty sure it was the original team as they reformed as gunfire games which is a part of nordic games who put out the deathinitive edition. Don't believe the haters as most of them are talking out of their asses.
I have mixed fellings about Darksiders 3, I love the lore and the characters so much, Fury and the 7 Sins are nice asf, but the game itself has something I hate: the Dark Souls type of checkpoint. And this is the major issue for me, if I could change that, my score for the game would rise 2 numbers. Imagine you dying for some boss with 5% health and you go back to the last Vulgrim back in the hell, AND you lost your health/wrath cristals, that's unfair. Darksiders is one of my favorite games ever, but this one has some flaws that I don't want to comeback i the fourth game. Nice video btw My final personal score is 6/10 and that is only because of the ending with Strife, before it was 5/10
This, considering how hard Darksiders 3 is..... The checkpoints were ridiculous and you have to fight your way through every damn time when you die somewhere. But overall it's a pretty solid game and with the new updates allowing to switch back to classic gameplay, story mode, it does feel a lot more like darksiders. Genesis was ridiculously easy in comparison to the normal difficulty in Darksiders 3.
I'm not a fan of the direction they took the combat in. I don't like Dark Souls and the devs decided to emulate the combat style of Dark Souls for Darksiders 3. I guess that can be kind of a drawback for a franchise that does something different for each game. I still like the game, and I enjoyed Fury's journey and her character development, but the combat didn't really do it for me. I enjoyed the Devil May Cry-ish combo focused combat of the first 2 games a lot more.
Yup Devil may cry vibe, in a sense pure hack and slash and you actually feel powerful, blasting through enemies like nothing. Horsemen of the Apocalypse after all, Genesis did it pretty well, like back to basics. Darksiders 3 with the new updates, switching to classic gameplay and story mode makes it better.
15:50 puzzle. I killed the bug from range whilst standing on the pedestal which works too. Also... there is a swing point in the room which I could find no use for. I wasted a lot of time thinking that was part of what I needed to do! :)
What sort of idiot would compare Darksiders with those games instead of God of War and Devil May Cry which were the main influences behind Darksiders. Although they slowed down the pace with the third game, it's still more comparable with those games rather than soulsborne games.
Darksiders 3 is my first game and I started on reckoning difficulty until I realized there was only a trophy for apocalyptic... I am really enjoying it regardless of what anyone has said and CANNOT wait to play Darksiders 1&2 I'm sure I'll like them alot more.
How did you get Force before Storm? Also, you forgot to mention that unlike Dark Souls, and games like it, your souls just keep.piling up even if you can't get back to where you died before dying again.
@@Lynce222 No you can't, to reach Lust you need Storm Hollow, which is only obtained after you kill Avarice. What you CAN do is skip Gluttony. You get no Hollow from beating him.
Do another video for all 4 games keep it up man I got some ideas to complete the story plus man you try an get your voice on the game I fell this franchise is going to take off online for the next two games
Darksiders 3 sucked give me a darksiders game zelda style mature with darksiders 2 combat improve on it os all i wanted it was one of my favorite franchises but didn't bothered with the third one i was tired of souls borne formula
To me it felt like they tried to make Darksiders 3 more of a souls type. It feels too much of a departure from what Darksiders gave us in the first 2. I enjoyed 3, but I am hoping they return to the original feel for the 4th and 5th games. We don't need souls-like in these games.
man i loved your first darksiders video do a lore vid on darksiders 3 as well and connect it with the other 2 btw since in the vid is mentioned that darksiders 1 is after 2 and 3, then is 3 also happening during the 100 years cap or what?
Boys, Fury needs a hollow shield spawned from the left forearm to parry attacks, god of war style. Different hollow - different shield, different parry effect. I hope they will add this in a dlc or a patch. It would add some variety to the 100% dodge based combat.
For me Darksiders 2 is the best Darksiders game. It's just so bad ass on so many levels. As soon as heard you sayin' one can't cancel moves I knew I won't be buying Darksiders 3 any time soon.
Lol i played both 1 and 2. And there i was excited about the 3rd and oof i played the first boss and i got to lava level andddd donne . Im not even want to continue playing. Just straight upset
With no map system, is it feasable to go back to finish up old areas? Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order had a mini map but no fast travel system so it was extrememly cumbersome to traverse the areas over and over again... not to mention the 3D map was awful.
Hated that there wasn't an execute type of mechanic like in DS 1 and 2. I didn't like it that DS 3 didn't have any horse riding. It's pretty pathetic to lose your horse to one of the seven deadly sins. Maybe Fury can ask Death to bring back her horse cuz not having it in DS 3 was pretty upsetting. The story of DS 3 was alright, kinda short. I'm looking forward to Strife in DS 4!
Except it wasn't any of the sins of who killed Rampage, we don't know who killed her horse. All we saw was Rampage spawn impaled by several Angelic weapons, die, and then his head after Gluttony ate the rest of the corpse.
well the executions are in the game, but instead of pressing a button when the enemy is low on health, you just need to have their health on Zero. We still have a cinematic, badass and gruesome way Fury delivers the final blow. If they had REALLY removed executions, the bosses would just keel over and die on the last blow. But I did miss the small monsters having a small chance of allowing you to insta-kill them.
I like them all but it’s 1,2,3 First has the best story combat was great and fun and it had solid visuals that hold up I really liked the heavy GoW Zelda inspiration super fun gameplay and I just connect with War as a character I feel like he actually care about his quest t Two had the best world but horrible pacing and I feel like they kinda lost focus land of the dead dragged on way too long where as twilight cathedral and shadows edge were over super quick and you do so much other shit and you have to remind yourself that oh ya Death actually has a main quest and that’s to help clear War but when he’s talking about it all he seems very bleh about it all and idk about the loot stuff I prefer the old get weapons from bosses or dungeons collect souls buy moves and power up weapons like DMC or GoW and it felt very MMOish rather than hack n slash action adventure,and the micro transactions and DLC is bullshit Don’t get me wrong tho still great visuals and combat is still awesome and I really respect some of the things they tried to do but it just didn’t have that same spark as the first The Third I’m not gonna shit on much I looks beautiful if a little generic combats fun I like the difficulty bump story is shallow but enjoyable enough I like how aspects of 1&2 come together alil in it I’m honestly just happy to get a third one Fury gets some good characters development too I didn’t like her much to start but as she’s grew into her own I started coming around with her I could literally talk about these games forever I think they’re great but I’m not sold on Strife character design looks dope but the fact that his weapons are guns and we’ve used them in 1&2 idk they just do chip damage it’s going to be interesting to see what they do with him
Cool vid mate, I haven't played any of these but was considering playing the first (warmastered version). I know there's 3 though so I looked for a vid that compared them and found this.
just started playing. about 20 mins into the game and i felt like something was off. from your video i now understand. 1 was awesome. 2 added even more. open world elements, loot and level system. and now 3 is "we almost had nothing to give you so take what we have". no levels or loot or stats or open world. hell not even a map. it hardly plays like a darksiders game. you can hide it under the smoke of "it plays different because of this horseman" all you like. the sad truth is we have been handed a game that is 40% complete or made by lazy men and women looking for a payday. hell they even got rid of the horse. so again either way, someone said "fuck the horse" or someone said "no time for the horse, ditch it". i was waiting for this to hit around 10 bucks before i grabbed it. found out a couple of weeks ago it was offered as a psplus title. im not sure it is worth playing even at no cost to me.
Hey look MassiveG made this video in such a way that DarkSiders 3 seems la and awesome triple AAA title .... oh & guess what"?" it really is but somehow made with a limited budget & dedication and love for the franchise, 60% percent of the reviewers out there are extremely wrong about this game & i'm telling you MassiveG & a few others i found on youtube tell the truth & after investing 17 hours in this game i can concur with everything that is said in this video & that the game is truly great in deepest meaning of the word + 3 endings & you chose the order that you kill the SINS therefore the gameplay will be different each time you play ! P.S. @AaronTheSlayer, even the new God of War borrowed ideas from DarkSouls but nobody mentioned that as complaint & it worked for GoW & it works for Darksiders 3 & don't worry by only taking inspiration the game became its own animal. & 2nd P.S. everybody complains about the compass in this game & no map well that's for the good because the enviroments are memorable the compass works as an breadcrumb trail or a rope that guides you from corner to corner, but then again i guess the "PROFFESIONAL REVIEWERS" need an MIT DIPLOMA to figure that out & the most laughable thing i heard from one reviewer is that THE GRAPHICS ARE NOT REALISTIC ... oh really, realistic graphics in a DARKSIDERS GAME, that guy should EAT A ROTTEN APPLE ALONE ON MOUNT EVEREST! ... Good job MassiveG, CHEERS !
I disagree I liked being able to put on cool gear and ride the horse around Darksiders 3 is awesome but those are the only two things I dislike about it especially not being able to ride the horse I actually can't compare one to part 2 cuz I started playing Darksiders at part 2
Well the developer state it that the game mechanic is inspired by darksouls, also like ever game ever in this world is basically inspired by diffrent game
I loved this video from start to end, if I wasn't a broke fuck I'd donate a good amount for this awesome content. Although I feel you like darksiders > darksiders 2 ( NO DS 2 is the best game on earth lol) I do respect your opinion and I'm in love with Darksiders from day 1, it's the only non-Nintendo game that I adore so much. Didn't play DS3 yet, I'm currently playing the first DS on apocalyptic mode ( didn't finish the game yet although I player 80% years back), then I'm gonna clear DS 2 ( did finish it in 2013, but I'm hungry to re-beat it), then only then I'll play DS3 which I can't wait!. I bought a gaming laptop (Predator Helios 300) so I'm enjoying and will enjoy the 3 sagas on it, and lastly I hope DS 4 is coming. Again thanks for the video, I subbed, I liked, I commented
Thanks for this video. I was actually checking to see if you still SWBattlefront. Big fan of your narratives and opinions even when I disagree. Can anyone list the keys for this game if you're playing with a mouse. I keep getting games like these that I forget the keys for and never play again. If you have a link for a video like that it would be awesome but also unexpected. Keep Gaming Massively!
Getting to play Darksider 3 for the first time and honestly, not a fan of the gameplay, I don't know if the Switch version has all of the updates that have been released for PC but the dodging SUCKS!!! I don't mind games which rely on dodging mechanics I love Platinum games like Bayonetta and Transformers Devastation where you heavily rely on dodge, but this game the dodging either doesn't trigger or it dodges INTO attacks or doesn't avoid anything at all... Whip traversal even if the Icon is there doesn't trigger and instead Fury air combos into the ground (assuming there is a floor). My biggest personal grip is the lack of a mini-map, I find myself CONSTANTLY getting lost and having no clue where to go or what to do. "I defeated Sloth and Avarice! Now what? Oh what I have to do is go back to the beginning of the game and find hidden paths? Oh how nice to even hint that! Oh wait... YOU DIDN'T!!!!" I constantly find myself having to look up guides on where to go or what to do! The only times I needed any guides for ANY of the other Darksiders games it was to find Collectibles such as Abyssal Armor, some Legendary Weapons, Wicked K, etc
I don't know if you figured this out. But the dodging feels a lot better if you switch the combat style to, 'Classic'. Which allows you to dodge mid-attack. If you have it on default, Fury won't dodge until she finishes an attack animation.
@@serathaevistille995 It's a while since I've played Darksiders 3 I'll have to check what style I chose. But if Classic means like the first two Darksiders I most likely have picked that from the start.
@@NagaYamiyo Fair enough. Just thought I'd mention in case that'd make it more enjoyable for you. Personally, I quite liked three. I really don't like two, however. I didn't even play seven hours.
@@serathaevistille995 I'm the complete opposite, I honestly did not enjoy 3 at all unfortunately. Darksiders 2 on the other hand is my absolute favorite of the 4 games, I've done countless playthroughs with different weapons and sets. The ability to completely customize Death is what I love about it! Maybe is they had given Fury more customization than armor color and what 3 stats got the AP I probably would have enjoyed it more.
I like the gameplay mechanics of genesis and its monster core systems. Make the 4th game in 3rd person with genesis' mechanics and I'll be a happy fan. Wasn't a big fan of 3 though I stuck through it because of the story.
I'm just sad this type of game ain't so hot anymore, so sales are usually ''meh'' and it takes ages to do another again, if ever. But i mean, that's on the company too
All 3 games were great, but 2 was a cut above the rest IMO for its gameplay and story aspects. 3's only downfall is the shitty camera & kind of cheap offscreen hits from enemies, although becomes less of a problem even on apocalyptic once your levels & enhancements are high enough.

....I've never even heard of Darksiders and this explanation plus the other one makes it so much easier to know what the hell is going on. I was watching another youtuber play Darksiders 3 and was completely lost. I hope you play it for us too! Thanks MassiveG!
well say that the weapon transform and has enchantments cool but why remove the loot on all the other parts of armor sets/ some extra stats and a build like DS 2
Darksiders 2 is the best and most fun for me. I am a RPG guy, i enjoy player power stats on armor/ weapons, skill trees and so on.
I liked DS III, even though it was way shorter and was missing A LOT of the smaller stuff from DS I and DS II. Hopefully DS IV and DS V will be even better !!!!!
4 is a must do, but will there be a fifth game?
Shorter then 2 but actually longer then 1 by a couple hours or so (pretty close though, 1 takes me around 12 hours each new playthough but that might be becasue I know where to get everything in the game as I have played it like 12 time across 3 console platforms). If you are a completionist/achievement hunter then I bet 3 would be much shorter though as the achievements are no where near as hard as some on 1 and 2... or if you plow through the game without searching every most side areas it would be much shorter as well (if you only follow the compass and never explore).
I too finished it recently and liked it (playing again now as I played the first time on easy mode to get the story and get used to the new counter system as well as know which sockets and upgrades to do on my more serious playthrough). Really good considering it was made on a very tight budget by a very small team. Also the neat thing is if you pay close attention it follows 1's story beat almost note for note (like falling to Earth with a Watcher, getting traversal power from a new key figure in the lore (Samael/Hollow Lord), meeting Ulthane, fighting on broken overpasses, getting to the next area by dropping a piece stone through the floor of a cathedral, and so on). All in all I am impressed and happy for this addition... and it seems sales are good enough to warrant another already if what the CEO said about the budget is true (they budgeted it to only need to sell 100,000 copies... for comparison old THQ budgeted and expected 4 million sales from Darksiders 2).
Yeah the game was too short
it was made with not even half the budget ofD DSII!
@@AndrewMaksymBrainNectar In 4th yoiu will play as Strife and 5th will be 4 players co-op against corrupted charred council :)
STRONGLY disagree about the lack of a map. I think it hinders exploration. I'm working on my third playthrough and because I have no map I still am unsure if I have seen everything. Also I would have liked a manual save option. Mostly so I could have saved prior to entering the final rift to face Pride... but... thats a quibble.
Darksiders III took a while to grow on me, but after a while I got in love with the combat. The dodging feels so SATISFYING, especialy with the added slow motion to signal you got it right. And similar to Bayonetta, it's also very rewarding, while the later rewards youy with a slow-motion moment where even large bosses are vulnerable to Crowd Control (using the Whip in Bayonetta II in Witch Time is completely bonkers) Darksiders III rewards the dodge with the ultimate "FUCK OFF!" attack possible in any weapon you're using. I only though the size, map and level design was a bit lackluster since DS I and II had places we could trully call DUNGEONS, with all the puzzles to solve, with DSIII being scarce, although the Void DLC was where the devs heard these criticism and gave us a really fun, long-run dungeon to unlock throughout the game, burn our braincells on the puzzles and keep us on our toes with challenging bossfights that perfectly blend all 3 games's styles.
Also, I got this game on Switch back in 2020 and it's a PERFECT port!
A late comment reply, but i have seen you around on a lot of Darksiders videos like Whitelight's three-hour analysis or MayorHairBear's great review series, and as a random stranger on the internet and fellow Darksiders fan, it's heartening to see people be so positive about 3.
I don't know what i would think of it myself yet, as i haven't played it, but Darksiders 3 thus far seems the most divisive out of all the Darksiders games. The entire series as a whole appears to be divisive between titles, with people loving, disliking or being in-between between *any* of the entries.
Another person i keep coming across on Darksiders videos is a user by name of Hynotama. He articulates himself well on why he loves Darksiders 2 most of all, but seems to have a *vehement* hatred for Darksiders 3, with some well-argumented points, but sometimes with the way he expresses himself about DS3... i think it seems he ironically has most in common with Fury out of all the Horsemen in how he lashes out at the game and puts DS2 on a pedestal.
You are quite the opposite of his case. Like i said, i know how contentious Darksiders 3 is and there's stuff in that game i do not agree with or think could have been done better. Even more so after learning about Fury's original depiction in the comics.
But on the other hand, seeing people speaking fondly of Darksiders 3, and it for some others being their entry into the series, even if others might disagree (but hopefully in a sober, respectful manner) is a thing that brings a smile to one's face to witness.
One game’s combat that I like the most was castlevania lord of shadows. I really like how combo heavy it was and you had to make sure that you don’t get hit and also how important your magic abilities. I my opinion castlevania lord of shadows combat was one of the best I’ve played. But this game did a very good job with its and the whole doge counter was pretty well done.
as a fan of the gameplay in lords of the shadow,i highly disagree.
Difference between DS1/2 and DS3. DS3 is a Soulsborne.
Loved the first game, second game kinda lost me with the loot system. For me having 1 weapon known is kinda badass, the chaoseater, armagedon blade and such. Death not having a signature weapon is kind of wierd for me, the whole Deaths schyte thing, while you can find a random ass schyte in a chest or a mob drop and they are better than what you had. Do not like that, much prefer the way first and third game handle the loot system. Also War is by far my favorite of the 4. His voice acting, story and progression are amazing. Problem I had with second game is no matter what difficulity you play as you do not feel op. War has 10 health bars late game. YOU FEEL OP AS SHIT. Now death has amazing monemts in cuts scenes as well. But I just prefer War.
Random person on the internet here, but that's surprising to read in regards to not feeling overpowered as Death. It's the first time i've ever come across that-- most people around say that the Possessed Weapon system in Darksiders 2 can trivialize enemy encounters thanks to the customizability in said Possessed weapons.
For example, if you can create a Possessed Weapon with a high Crit chance, as well as some sort of Elemental Effect (Fire, Lightning, Frost, Freeze) or Wrath or Health regeneration/steal, then you can:
1. Quite often hit quite hard thanks to the high Crit chance
2. Utilize Wrath abilities like the Teleport Slash often, or just tank hits, without needing to resort to potions.
The second option works well with armor that offers resistance against some sort of hitstun from enemies, too.
It can be said that making a proper equipment build is half of what makes the combat system in Darksiders 2, since normal equipment has passive effects that may lend itself well to different builds depending on the player's preference
I do get what you mean with finding it strange that Death does not really have a weapon to call his own as such, though.
I think that can be explained by the fact that he is not on a Council-approved mission and thus is denied his full power-- including his actual scythe(s) and thus has to make do with other weapons.
In a Darksiders comic, this was a plot point for a mission to earth where the mission *was* approved by the Council, but Death wasn't allowed to use Harvester. So he had to barter with Vulgrim for a replacement weapon.
From what i know of the lore, Harvester's true form does appear in DS2, but only when Death accesses his Reaper Form . He's not allowed his full power, like i said earlier, so he can only maintain that form for a short while.
On the other hand, it could be argued that all the secondary weapons are a way to show Death's skill and proficiency with weapons, as both a Nephilim and Horseman.
The Nephilim have history of naught but warfare and conflict. But arrogant and flashy as they sometimes may be, and even have fun in what they do, i don't think the Horsemen would look a gift Ruin in the mouth, and thus gladly get tools that help them in their goal.
In any case, i'm glad to see a Darksiders (and specifically War) fan and one with unique feedback like this.
Apologies if this long comment was annoying, but if you took the time to read through it all and consider it-- thank you for doing so.
Wish you a good rest of your day/week, and take care.
@@jurtheorc8117 i read the entire comment and it's bot as long to read as it must have been to write. Here is the deal. You may notice my comment wqs posted a month ago. And after that i had tine to revisit ds2 and i change my mind a bit. For example Last time i beat ds2 was 2013 or 14. And back then i barely knew English and how the game works. I had other times i revisited it but never gotten to late game content. My opinion is altered but not changed possesd weapons are quite unique. But this does not change my opinion that in comics death has wars sword literally Peirce his chest. And he cuts his arm off(the reason why war has a prosthetic instead of his left arm) and in moments heals completely. We do not get to feel that op in game.
@@Strahinja_Djordjevic Oh wow, that was a fast reply! Thank you for taking the time to be reading and writing a reply to the comment.
Those are all fair points. Extra context on things can go very far in clearing up things, so thank you for that.
Does sound like your opinion has shifted towards a positive direction, so that does make me glad. Fair point too in regards to absolutely tanking being stabbed by Chaoseater.
I haven't experimented with it yet, but i think with a high Resistance stat you can perform combos without being interrupted or put into hitstun while being hit. That is as close as i can imagine to acquiring that feeling of just not giving a crud to whatever hits you.
To a lesser extent, Buckler type secondary weapons may be of aid in this. Their unique charge attack is Death blocking like War does (bucklers are the only way to actually block in the entire game). But if you pull up the Buckler *right* as an enemy is about to hit you, and you immediately press the Secondary Attack button, Death returns either a large portion of the total amount of the damage that would have been dealt.
It's cool how the secondary weapons have some unique stuff like that!
Oh, and aforementioned Possessed Weapons can also help in healing immediately. Achidna's Fangs are great for that, if i recall correctly.
In any case, seeing what effect a Resistance and Healing-based leads to would be an experiment for me to have a look at.
And as it is now, preferences differ and as such, you don't have to do anything else with this information.
But i am grateful that you so quickly took the time to reply, explain and give further context! I hope that future Darksiders ventures may be more fun again for you and many others.
Wish you a good rest of your day!
@@jurtheorc8117 it really seems you car about the franchise. And i do too. Just for the context, my opinion has not shifted towards positive, as it was never bad in the first place. This was always one of my favorites. I just pointed thing i didn't understand. Thank you as well. Very respectful community we got here
@@Strahinja_Djordjevic Aaah, i see. Definitely, Darksiders is a franchise close to my heart.
Thank you for further clarifying as well. I'm glad the community is generally respectful too, it's a thing to not take for granted, a thing to cherish and maintain. Much like the balance itself.
Darksiders 3 was great imo, forgive me, I loved the Dark Souls format and offered some challenge to veteran fans. Plus in all honesty, I like how each game feels different. It really drives home the whole, FOUR HORSEMEN, FOUR GAMES.
Yeeee, in DS3 you really feel the combat it's a strategic challenge you have to pay attention full time is like you're in fury skin, DS3 is for someone who just like me enjoys a good challenge
The thing i hate the most is that game saves only on Vulgrum plates. That’s the only thing i dislike in Darksiders III. Second game was exciting af, also long enaugh. Missing the mini map but every other aspect of III is amazing
I find Vulgrin well-placed to not have an issue with it. He is also close to bossfights, which is important.
Darksiders 1 felt like an adventure, 3 just feels like go here kill boss go here kill boss, kill stuff along the way
honestly 3 just feels like filler,doesn't help much that you play only as a chick in the game despite most of the fan base being male
M.Grey alot of guys like playing as a female
@@MGrey-qb5xz what fuck does playing as a female have to do with anything?
I love the Zelda/Prince of Persia game style of DS1 and 2. Not sure if I will enjoy DS3 since it's more Darksouls style and I do not like it at all! But I'll give it a try for sure...
I personally didnt enjoy ds3. Ds1 and ds2 are way superior. The game lacks so much, i enjoyed in the previous titles, like executions, skill tree, advance and get new combos, platforming/zeldalike, the devil may cry like combat. Its a huge downgrade imho. The dark souls theme does not fit darksiders. Imagine playing dmc, fghtng against 5 enemies, but 1 combo and you are dead. It misses its target and lost his goal. Absolutely not excited for their future projects.
@@eldris629 are you serious ds2 is the worsts out of the franchise
@@uptowndunker6346 that doesn't seem to be the majority opinion
@@Grimjr7 maybe he confused Ds2 with Dark Souls 2 which is kinda the black sheep of the Souls franchise
@@uptowndunker6346 bro Darksiders 2 is the fan favorite in the ds community
darksiders 2 easily the bestt game insane soundtrack too love it
Here's how I would rate the games from best to worst.
Darksiders II > Darksiders > Darksiders Genesis > Darksiders III.
Agreed
I love all Darksiders games
You know, you almost sound like Vulgrim.
The worst mistake is trying to make the game have a souls like style, but having enemies surround you or have them jump at you from from random places like a hack and slash game. Still a fun but some deaths are just cheap, and this is coming from someone that has played dark souls 1-3, sekiro, nioh, Bloodborne, fallen order.
not to mention you lose way too much health from falling when it seems Fury can always teleport back to the ledge. Death does the same way and lose absolutely no HP (althoug for some reason your HP bar blinks like you take dmg)
Im new to this series. Just played the first game and didn't like it at all. Very boring maps, and puzzles. The combat was ok, but it definitely got on my nerves at times. The protagonist War was....alright. All in all, a very underwhelming game, 6/10 for me. Hearing that the later games are very different gives me hope that I will like those more.
You a Buffon . You don't know shit
@@Moodboard39 Thanks. :)
@@OTBASH You're in the minority for sure, but I can see why you wouldn't like Darksiders 1 much. For me personally, Darksiders 2 is the one I really don't like. I've barely played 10 hours I think, if that.
she is a horsemen with no horse! ENOUGH SAID! I know the devs are limited with the resources they were given but you can't take away a horsemens horse of course smh
To be fair, War didn't have his horse for like, half or maybe two thirds of the first game. So Fury not having one available is whatever. Wouldn't of really worked in the areas they designed in Darksiders 3 anyway.
DS2 the best one 💪
zakarota1985 facts🙌
Death is best boy.
Same ds2 had the best gameplay but ds1 had the best voice actor in it.(mark Hamill)
Azrel Johnson eh idk, death’s VA was pretty great too.
Ds2 was the worst one
Each Darksiders game is decent to great, but they have progressively got worse.
They ruined the combat in 3, its far to dodge heavy, and to take way too much damage. The new navigation system(or lack of) is terrible, it actually discourages me to explore.
It looks like a Darksiders game, but 3 doesn't feel like a Darksiders game. It feels like a dumbed down dark souls with a Darksiders skin.
IMO the 1st game is the best, and most memorable. Before 3 came out I replayed 1 and 2 and realised I had forgot so much about 2, and remembered so much about 1. And I can't see 3 being all the memorable, well in a positive way at least.
I'm guessing the 4th and final game(if it gets made) will take from Devil May Cry, as Strife's main weapon is a gun.
Notorious
4 won’t be the final game.
to me it feels more like the new God of War,wasn't a fan of the combat in that one and well a shallower version of it isn't really gonna peak my interests
DS3 emphasises dodge because that's Fury's character. She's a battlemage, War is a warrior and Death is a bit of both.
Agree about the exploration thing with no map. Disagree about which is best. For me 2 was the high point. Its one of the very few games that I 100% completed all achievements for. Generally I cba. :)
It absolutely feels like a DS game, the problem is the low budget and lack of the same size development team they had with the first two. I hate the lack of a map, not minimap, but an overview map in the menu. The combat was given a mode that is more like the other two which drastically improves the game. Its not at all dumbed down, clearly you didn't finish the game or even play enough to follow the story if you thing that. The story and acting is just as strong as the other two.
You shouldn't fight Angels. :-(
"I'm not gonna show any bosses" proceeds to show a full on battle with Wrath
honestly I would like to see vulgrim become a boss enemy and return being a merchant just to see it play out
DS2 was the best
Not into these kind of games but the art of it looks beautiful
darksiders 2 the original and NOT deathfinitive is the best game i ever played
Peter Pinto I’m curious as to why you don’t like the deathinitive edition
@@EelofTheTRIMS i only played it but i think they made a remaster that changes colors in the game and lighting...that is not right it probably wasnt the original team either so its not true to the design and feel
@@peterpinto2011 its simply a slight graphical upgrade and port. They've barely changed anything and i'm pretty sure it was the original team as they reformed as gunfire games which is a part of nordic games who put out the deathinitive edition. Don't believe the haters as most of them are talking out of their asses.
@@EelofTheTRIMS i only say because i played the original and would describe it as perfect in every way...it was engrossing
I have mixed fellings about Darksiders 3, I love the lore and the characters so much, Fury and the 7 Sins are nice asf, but the game itself has something I hate: the Dark Souls type of checkpoint. And this is the major issue for me, if I could change that, my score for the game would rise 2 numbers.
Imagine you dying for some boss with 5% health and you go back to the last Vulgrim back in the hell, AND you lost your health/wrath cristals, that's unfair.
Darksiders is one of my favorite games ever, but this one has some flaws that I don't want to comeback i the fourth game. Nice video btw
My final personal score is 6/10 and that is only because of the ending with Strife, before it was 5/10
the game has worst checkpoints than darksouls itself.
This, considering how hard Darksiders 3 is..... The checkpoints were ridiculous and you have to fight your way through every damn time when you die somewhere. But overall it's a pretty solid game and with the new updates allowing to switch back to classic gameplay, story mode, it does feel a lot more like darksiders. Genesis was ridiculously easy in comparison to the normal difficulty in Darksiders 3.
Darksiders 2 is my favorite Death And Despair!
@9:26 I don't remember seeing the tornados in this area. Going to go check them.
I'm not a fan of the direction they took the combat in. I don't like Dark Souls and the devs decided to emulate the combat style of Dark Souls for Darksiders 3. I guess that can be kind of a drawback for a franchise that does something different for each game. I still like the game, and I enjoyed Fury's journey and her character development, but the combat didn't really do it for me. I enjoyed the Devil May Cry-ish combo focused combat of the first 2 games a lot more.
Yup Devil may cry vibe, in a sense pure hack and slash and you actually feel powerful, blasting through enemies like nothing. Horsemen of the Apocalypse after all, Genesis did it pretty well, like back to basics. Darksiders 3 with the new updates, switching to classic gameplay and story mode makes it better.
15:50 puzzle. I killed the bug from range whilst standing on the pedestal which works too. Also... there is a swing point in the room which I could find no use for. I wasted a lot of time thinking that was part of what I needed to do! :)
I think it helps you get the stuff the bugs eat if it wasn't down already/reach the higher up spiderwebs
Darksiders 3 is worst than 2 and 1, there's no block, only 1 way to avoid damage, no combos, no finishers, less skills and mroe
And worse no horse riding which takes away the purpose of being a horseman
to sum it all up its
Dark~souls~borne~nioh~sekiro~siders III!
luuuv it!
What sort of idiot would compare Darksiders with those games instead of God of War and Devil May Cry which were the main influences behind Darksiders. Although they slowed down the pace with the third game, it's still more comparable with those games rather than soulsborne games.
@@IndranilRC it reminds me of prince of persia, i want to play pop games but they are all badly ported.
Darksiders 1 : this is no place for a horse
Darksiders 2 : this is no place for a horse
Darksiders 3 : this is no game for a horse
You are as wise as you are powerful.
Darksiders 3 is my first game and I started on reckoning difficulty until I realized there was only a trophy for apocalyptic... I am really enjoying it regardless of what anyone has said and CANNOT wait to play Darksiders 1&2 I'm sure I'll like them alot more.
Now 2 years have passed since your comment. DId you play and did you like them?
I too am curious on if you ever got around to playing the other games
How did you get Force before Storm?
Also, you forgot to mention that unlike Dark Souls, and games like it, your souls just keep.piling up even if you can't get back to where you died before dying again.
You can choose the next deadly sin to go, defeating Lust before Avarice
@@Lynce222 No you can't, to reach Lust you need Storm Hollow, which is only obtained after you kill Avarice. What you CAN do is skip Gluttony. You get no Hollow from beating him.
Imo DS2 is the best, DS1 is good, DS3 is meh.
Darksiders 3 is a huge disappointment compared to 1 and 2. 4/10 at best. Glad I waited to grab it for free on PS+
This what happens when a new idiot development comes in and wants to change shit ! This what you get
Plot twist, Vulgrum is the prince of lies
Shut up, Vulgrim is the bestest character ever!
@@Hynotama Vulgrim best waifu.
i just hope darksiders 4 plays and works like darsiders 2 with weapon and armor loot
Wow that upgrade near hangman's tree is really hard to find I must be blind lol
Do another video for all 4 games keep it up man I got some ideas to complete the story plus man you try an get your voice on the game I fell this franchise is going to take off online for the next two games
Found D3 difficult, but I loved it.
Rampage =‘(
Dutch, come back!!!!
Darksiders 3 sucked give me a darksiders game zelda style mature with darksiders 2 combat improve on it os all i wanted it was one of my favorite franchises but didn't bothered with the third one i was tired of souls borne formula
@MassiveG Like Vulgrim's voice? Thank Phill La Marr (Green lantern/Samurai Jack) for that. Oh and for the voice of Strife too :)
So...that daily livestream schedule on your banner is just...a seriously weird typo?
your edit is amazing bro
To me it felt like they tried to make Darksiders 3 more of a souls type. It feels too much of a departure from what Darksiders gave us in the first 2. I enjoyed 3, but I am hoping they return to the original feel for the 4th and 5th games. We don't need souls-like in these games.
man i loved your first darksiders video
do a lore vid on darksiders 3 as well and connect it with the other 2
btw since in the vid is mentioned that darksiders 1 is after 2 and 3, then is 3 also happening during the 100 years cap or what?
Boys, Fury needs a hollow shield spawned from the left forearm to parry attacks, god of war style. Different hollow - different shield, different parry effect. I hope they will add this in a dlc or a patch. It would add some variety to the 100% dodge based combat.
You have a very pleasant, John DiMaggio-esque voice.
ja all fine m2, but didnt say a word about the striking beautiful comic art design of the all 3 games...
Hardest mode welcome to dark souls 3
This might not have been a review but it was quite insightful. Which one would you recommend for first time playing?
Did he just spoil the final boss of Darksiders 4?
For me Darksiders 2 is the best Darksiders game. It's just so bad ass on so many levels. As soon as heard you sayin' one can't cancel moves I knew I won't be buying Darksiders 3 any time soon.
Lol i played both 1 and 2. And there i was excited about the 3rd and oof i played the first boss and i got to lava level andddd donne . Im not even want to continue playing. Just straight upset
Thanks I almost bought darkside Genesis but No I want darksiders 2 I like death as well
You can cancel attacks with dodges if you switch the combat style to Classic.
My ranking:
3. Darksiders
2. Darksiders 2
1. Darksiders 3
I'm waiting for a solo Strife game
With no map system, is it feasable to go back to finish up old areas? Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order had a mini map but no fast travel system so it was extrememly cumbersome to traverse the areas over and over again... not to mention the 3D map was awful.
Darksiders 1 is the best and i wish they did a remake like they did with Resident evil 2
Hated that there wasn't an execute type of mechanic like in DS 1 and 2.
I didn't like it that DS 3 didn't have any horse riding.
It's pretty pathetic to lose your horse to one of the seven deadly sins.
Maybe Fury can ask Death to bring back her horse cuz not having it in DS 3 was pretty upsetting.
The story of DS 3 was alright, kinda short. I'm looking forward to Strife in DS 4!
Except it wasn't any of the sins of who killed Rampage, we don't know who killed her horse. All we saw was Rampage spawn impaled by several Angelic weapons, die, and then his head after Gluttony ate the rest of the corpse.
@@NagaYamiyo ah right. I completely forgot about that. Thanks for clearing that up! :)
Of course! You think new developer going to keep the original?. Pfft lol 😂 they end up fucking it up!
D's 2 was the shit!
well the executions are in the game, but instead of pressing a button when the enemy is low on health, you just need to have their health on Zero. We still have a cinematic, badass and gruesome way Fury delivers the final blow. If they had REALLY removed executions, the bosses would just keel over and die on the last blow. But I did miss the small monsters having a small chance of allowing you to insta-kill them.
I like them all but it’s 1,2,3
First has the best story combat was great and fun and it had solid visuals that hold up I really liked the heavy GoW Zelda inspiration super fun gameplay and I just connect with War as a character I feel like he actually care about his quest t
Two had the best world but horrible pacing and I feel like they kinda lost focus land of the dead dragged on way too long where as twilight cathedral and shadows edge were over super quick and you do so much other shit and you have to remind yourself that oh ya Death actually has a main quest and that’s to help clear War but when he’s talking about it all he seems very bleh about it all
and idk about the loot stuff I prefer the old get weapons from bosses or dungeons collect souls buy moves and power up weapons like DMC or GoW and it felt very MMOish rather than hack n slash action adventure,and the micro transactions and DLC is bullshit
Don’t get me wrong tho still great visuals and combat is still awesome and I really respect some of the things they tried to do but it just didn’t have that same spark as the first
The Third I’m not gonna shit on much I looks beautiful if a little generic combats fun I like the difficulty bump story is shallow but enjoyable enough I like how aspects of 1&2 come together alil in it I’m honestly just happy to get a third one Fury gets some good characters development too I didn’t like her much to start but as she’s grew into her own I started coming around with her
I could literally talk about these games forever I think they’re great but I’m not sold on Strife character design looks dope but the fact that his weapons are guns and we’ve used them in 1&2 idk they just do chip damage it’s going to be interesting to see what they do with him
Cool vid mate, I haven't played any of these but was considering playing the first (warmastered version).
I know there's 3 though so I looked for a vid that compared them and found this.
You could shorten this video by just saying DS1 = God of War/Zelda, DS2 = Diablo/DS1, DS3 = Dark Souls/DS1/DS2
Awesome video, finishing up the second one now.
I do appreceate that they gave fury more personality than her two brothers, i do miss the brutal finishers from the first game
Dark siders 3 gave us remnant from the ashes after so I'm glad that happend
I think Darksiders 3 gives away who you will be playing as in Darksiders 4 because it shows the other horsemen I guess it's at the other brother
Can't give anything away if there's only 1 left
Leave Vulgrim alone, he is harmless and useful.
classic mode or normal mode?
I wonder if the third game is finally the perfect place for a horse.
just started playing. about 20 mins into the game and i felt like something was off.
from your video i now understand. 1 was awesome. 2 added even more. open world elements, loot and level system. and now 3 is "we almost had nothing to give you so take what we have". no levels or loot or stats or open world. hell not even a map. it hardly plays like a darksiders game. you can hide it under the smoke of "it plays different because of this horseman" all you like. the sad truth is we have been handed a game that is 40% complete or made by lazy men and women looking for a payday. hell they even got rid of the horse.
so again either way, someone said "fuck the horse" or someone said "no time for the horse, ditch it".
i was waiting for this to hit around 10 bucks before i grabbed it. found out a couple of weeks ago it was offered as a psplus title. im not sure it is worth playing even at no cost to me.
Hey look MassiveG made this video in such a way that DarkSiders 3 seems la and awesome triple AAA title .... oh & guess what"?" it really is but somehow made with a limited budget & dedication and love for the franchise, 60% percent of the reviewers out there are extremely wrong about this game & i'm telling you MassiveG & a few others i found on youtube tell the truth & after investing 17 hours in this game i can concur with everything that is said in this video & that the game is truly great in deepest meaning of the word + 3 endings & you chose the order that you kill the SINS therefore the gameplay will be different each time you play ! P.S. @AaronTheSlayer, even the new God of War borrowed ideas from DarkSouls but nobody mentioned that as complaint & it worked for GoW & it works for Darksiders 3 & don't worry by only taking inspiration the game became its own animal. & 2nd P.S. everybody complains about the compass in this game & no map well that's for the good because the enviroments are memorable the compass works as an breadcrumb trail or a rope that guides you from corner to corner, but then again i guess the "PROFFESIONAL REVIEWERS" need an MIT DIPLOMA to figure that out & the most laughable thing i heard from one reviewer is that THE GRAPHICS ARE NOT REALISTIC ... oh really, realistic graphics in a DARKSIDERS GAME, that guy should EAT A ROTTEN APPLE ALONE ON MOUNT EVEREST! ... Good job MassiveG, CHEERS !
I highly doubt the game is great...good, maybe, but not great. From what I have seen of gameplay and bits of story, it seems pretty mediocre.
Great video! thanks, man.
Too many nauseating black screens for transition
honestly i loved the game, i wasnt as much of a fan of 2, i preferred 1 over it, so im kinda glad they went back to the linear format
DS3 is not linea though.
I disagree I liked being able to put on cool gear and ride the horse around Darksiders 3 is awesome but those are the only two things I dislike about it especially not being able to ride the horse I actually can't compare one to part 2 cuz I started playing Darksiders at part 2
would you say its adapted and borrowed ideas from dark souls?
Clearly
Well the developer state it that the game mechanic is inspired by darksouls, also like ever game ever in this world is basically inspired by diffrent game
That one got me too I looked it up.
26k views? You fucking joking
DS3 could have been better,when the next one comes out have it to where all4 horsemen are playable but you pick one to lead the charge
good idea death agrees with ya
I loved this video from start to end, if I wasn't a broke fuck I'd donate a good amount for this awesome content.
Although I feel you like darksiders > darksiders 2 ( NO DS 2 is the best game on earth lol) I do respect your opinion and I'm in love with Darksiders from day 1, it's the only non-Nintendo game that I adore so much.
Didn't play DS3 yet, I'm currently playing the first DS on apocalyptic mode ( didn't finish the game yet although I player 80% years back), then I'm gonna clear DS 2 ( did finish it in 2013, but I'm hungry to re-beat it), then only then I'll play DS3 which I can't wait!. I bought a gaming laptop (Predator Helios 300) so I'm enjoying and will enjoy the 3 sagas on it, and lastly I hope DS 4 is coming.
Again thanks for the video, I subbed, I liked, I commented
Thanks for this video. I was actually checking to see if you still SWBattlefront. Big fan of your narratives and opinions even when I disagree. Can anyone list the keys for this game if you're playing with a mouse. I keep getting games like these that I forget the keys for and never play again. If you have a link for a video like that it would be awesome but also unexpected. Keep Gaming Massively!
Getting to play Darksider 3 for the first time and honestly, not a fan of the gameplay, I don't know if the Switch version has all of the updates that have been released for PC but the dodging SUCKS!!! I don't mind games which rely on dodging mechanics I love Platinum games like Bayonetta and Transformers Devastation where you heavily rely on dodge, but this game the dodging either doesn't trigger or it dodges INTO attacks or doesn't avoid anything at all...
Whip traversal even if the Icon is there doesn't trigger and instead Fury air combos into the ground (assuming there is a floor).
My biggest personal grip is the lack of a mini-map, I find myself CONSTANTLY getting lost and having no clue where to go or what to do.
"I defeated Sloth and Avarice! Now what? Oh what I have to do is go back to the beginning of the game and find hidden paths? Oh how nice to even hint that! Oh wait... YOU DIDN'T!!!!"
I constantly find myself having to look up guides on where to go or what to do!
The only times I needed any guides for ANY of the other Darksiders games it was to find Collectibles such as Abyssal Armor, some Legendary Weapons, Wicked K, etc
I don't know if you figured this out. But the dodging feels a lot better if you switch the combat style to, 'Classic'. Which allows you to dodge mid-attack. If you have it on default, Fury won't dodge until she finishes an attack animation.
@@serathaevistille995 It's a while since I've played Darksiders 3 I'll have to check what style I chose.
But if Classic means like the first two Darksiders I most likely have picked that from the start.
@@NagaYamiyo Fair enough. Just thought I'd mention in case that'd make it more enjoyable for you. Personally, I quite liked three. I really don't like two, however. I didn't even play seven hours.
@@serathaevistille995 I'm the complete opposite, I honestly did not enjoy 3 at all unfortunately.
Darksiders 2 on the other hand is my absolute favorite of the 4 games, I've done countless playthroughs with different weapons and sets. The ability to completely customize Death is what I love about it!
Maybe is they had given Fury more customization than armor color and what 3 stats got the AP I probably would have enjoyed it more.
I liked the 1st darksiders a lot...HATED the 2nd, not an rpg fan....is the 3rd one rpg as well? I am interested in it but not if its rpg
DEATH is the strongest 💀💀💀💀😱😱
What an amazing video. Had me gripped start to fin.
i hope they make a new kingdoms of amalur 2 in this graphical style
So they took a little bit of essence from dark souls ha I kinda like that
I like the gameplay mechanics of genesis and its monster core systems. Make the 4th game in 3rd person with genesis' mechanics and I'll be a happy fan. Wasn't a big fan of 3 though I stuck through it because of the story.
maybe Darksiders 4 could be in the style of Devil May Cry and Bayonetta xD So we have the full circle of "hack-n-slash games" in the franchise.
DS 1&2 you can't get any better, they set the standard for game play, people are still playing both games to this day
How did you not use the mini map in darksiders 2?
I'm just sad this type of game ain't so hot anymore, so sales are usually ''meh'' and it takes ages to do another again, if ever. But i mean, that's on the company too
Its just meh coz it doesnt have the real authenticity and personality
All 3 games were great, but 2 was a cut above the rest IMO for its gameplay and story aspects. 3's only downfall is the shitty camera & kind of cheap offscreen hits from enemies, although becomes less of a problem even on apocalyptic once your levels & enhancements are high enough.
Your voice is better than Markipliers
Seems like a big step down from 2
Vulgrim final boss lol hoping for the same
15:11 - 15:20 uh...is that the crypt keeper, or just a dude trying to sound like him?
I'm sorry but

Nuff said.
