      @@MortalReaver Death wasn't deceived, and believed War innocent. However, for him it was ultimately irrelevant whether War was innocent, he was going to try to save War regardless. That's why his plan was to "erase the crime" by reviving humanity. But at the beginning of the game, when trying to get the Crowfather's aid, he outright says that the Crowfather should help because the Crowfather knows the truth. Which the Crowfather does confirm, and outright says they can't prove War's innocence because the Council will condemn War in order to hide the truth. So Death not only knew War was innocent, he may even have known that the Council was setting up War.

      So nobody says that War broke the seventh seal... all they claim is that he was the one who unleashed the apocalypse. (Although they never say how)

    Going to have to be that guy, but... War was framed for arriving early breaking the Seventh Seal (though he didn't) by the Council so the apocalypse could start early, at the start of Darksiders 1. This is what Fury is referring to when visiting War in prison (during the 100 year timeskip in DS1). At this point in the story almost everybody, including Fury, thinks War broke the seal. The only person who didn't believe War broke the seal was Death, who set out to prove War's innocents (Darksiders 2).
    So yes, the writers are doing their job. Though you are correct about War breaking the seal at the end of DS1, but instead of summoning the 4 Horsemen to start the apocalypse, the remaining three Horsemen are summoned to help War fight the Council.

    • @BainesMkII
      @BainesMkII 6 лет назад +14

      Couple of corrections. Death believes War is innocent, but he's not out to prove War's innocence. Death's plan is to remove the crime itself, by reviving humanity. Also, while War sets things in motion, it is technically Uriel that breaks the seal at the end of Darksiders 1. Uriel kills War, then breaks the seal to revive him, allowing him to defeat his Watcher.

    • @Shadowslash1

    "It's a bit iffy in a way I can't quite get down."
    I find that people feel that way about the whole series - either there's something _off_ about it in a way they can't quite explain that means they're not overly fond of it, or there's some element to it they can't quite explain that acts as a kind of Gestalt factor that makes the game more enjoyable than it otherwise would be. I don't think anybody's saying that it's a flawless series or anything, but I find it really interesting that what seems to separate people who aren't uber-fans or uber-haters from liking it or not is some kind of weird X factor nobody can quite put their finger on.

      Cult of the New gamers hate the series because it retreads from older games instead of modern games. Nostalgia and retrogamers love it because it's a new game that feels like it was made in the past.

      Though technically he's not 'entirely' wrong. If you look at the weapon in the inventory, its not even a whip, her weapon is a hilt. It even says that the hilt adapts to her, thus when she goes into a form, it takes up another form and why you don't have a secondary attack in your base form. The hilt turns into the whip, flails, spear, mallet, and dual swords (that's why crossover combos are put in as well)
      But yes, the Council lied, cause if they told her War marched without breaking the seventh seal, Fury would question how he was able to. But you can tell Yahtzee wasn't too into the game and didn't notice a lot of the nuances. I mean, it was a 'this is ok' review else he would have noticed Fury calmed down a lot near the end (especially after Lust).

But I have wondered about their choice of world structure, since I have a passing familiarity with the Book of Revelations due to childhood trauma. Why is Fury "scarcity"? And why is Strife "conquest"? It would make marginally more sense to have their names reversed, as strife is an expected outcome of scarcity.

    Great video, but yeah that last bit. War was being held for 'starting the apocalypse before the seal was broken'. The whole point was the council was basically behind it the whole time, and manipulated Fury as much as they did war at first.

    A bit of a thing about the plot:
    Thing is, War -thought- the Seventh Seal was broken. He rode unto earth already in war with Heaven and Hell.
    He is blamed for something he hasn't done, and that's where Darksiders 2 and 3 come in. Death goes bring back humanity, to absolve War of his crime. Fury does what she's ordered.
    Death dies at the end of Darksiders 2, but because War finds, and then breaks the Seventh Seal, Death is brought back from the dead, as are the other two.
    The whole time the Charred Council has set the Horsemen up for their own little scheme.
    That's the whole plot of Darksiders. The war starts, War's blamed for it, Death tries to save him, Fury does as she's told but then fights for Humanity, and that's all there pretty much is to it. I reckon Strife will be doing his own thing, protecting humanity as we see him do in Darksiders 3, but I think Darksiders 4 will return on that.
    Then I imagine we have Darksiders 5 where the Four Horsemen all ride together to end the charred council and end the war, with humanity being the victor.

    • @Codiekitty
      @Codiekitty 6 лет назад +1

      IIRC, he was being punished for coming to Earth before the 7th Seal was broken and the Apocalypse was officially signaled.
      Some angels came up with a plan where they'd break the first six, but keep the seventh intact because.... something I don't remember. After the sixth one was broken, War got a memo that the Apocalypse had started and charged in but oops, the 7th seal was still intact and Apocalypse hadn't actually started yet, and the Council imprisoned him for jumping the gun.

    • @Hawk_of_Battle
      @Hawk_of_Battle 6 лет назад

      @@Codiekitty Pretty much yeah. The reason the conspirators didn't break the seventh seal is because if they did it would summon the horsemen, which would ruin their plan, which was to lure hell into an ambush on earth before earth was ready for the End War. This would allow Heaven to wipe out both Hell and humanity before either could pose a threat to it. The Charred Council knew about the plan, but couldn't get evidence of the conspirators, so when the war started, they deliberately summoned War themselves and then blamed him, knowing he would want to seek vengeance on their behalf.
      Oh course, we also now know the Council itself and the system they set up with the Seals were corrupt from the start and the whole End War deal was just to keep everybody appeased so the Council could maintain their own power.

    I hate it when a series does this. They build up the story to a certain point that leaves you asking "well, what happens next?" And then they just drop it and make a bunch of sequels and spinoffs that take place before anything that could actually affect the plot in any interesting way. Across three games released over the course of a decade, the plot has not advanced past the ending of the first game. Do the writers have some kind of anxiety or paralysis regarding finishing the story? Or even continuing it? Or are we supposed to assume that every important thing happened in the ten minutes before the first game, and that's the finish line? Don't fret, guys. It's a typical 7/10 franchise, no one's putting that much pressure on you. Just shit or get off the pot.

    I actually came up with an interesting idea for a game about the 4 horse men
    A four player co-op game along the lines of ultimate alliance where you’re sent to cause the apocalypse and kill a *lot* of creatures from mythology including but not limited to: a massive hydra, raging Minotaurs, Cthulhu and even Beelzebub and the final boss is the physical manifestation of entropy taking place at the edge of creation itself.
    I also came up with a unique play style for each of the horsemen. War is a tank with a giant sword and is usually overconfident, Death is your primary melee damage dealer with a modest scythe and a handful of AOEs, pestilence is a ranged damage dealer throwing down debuffs and AOEs while famine siphons off life from your enemies and sends it back to the others while also slowing them with debuffs.

It's like they meant to do fire, earth, ice, and lightning but either someone pointed out lightning isnt actually one of the four elements or the earth weapon and the earth obstacles looked too much like poop so they rightly changed to bright purple as the color which does make things very noticeable but is rather confusing when I have to hit the green button on my Xbox controller to activate my purple weapon while the other three weapons are nicely color coded

    okay so I've played exactly enough darksiders 1 to answer your quandary at the end. War is accused of breaking the seal.
