Fun Fact: Death is the oldest of the four horsemen and was one of the first Nephilium to came into being. He is the one who cut off Wars arm (his big metal gauntlet) and was the strongest of the neiphilium. Reason why he uses random weapons and armor is because it is an unction mission, so that is why he isn't lock with a certain build.
i think you are wrong in the regard of Death being the strongest. Samael did say to Death: "flawed castings from a perfect mold. Absalom was always stronger than the rest of you..." Im sure this means Absalom is stronger.
@@bigw816wdym in a cutscene we see that death beat absalom and absalom then gets snatched by the corruption and you beat absallom at the end of the game that means that death beat absallom 2 times
@@bigw816 That's just Samael being Samael tho. There was certain truth to his statement cuz he knew the Council restricts the power the horsemen use but that's it. And besides it doesn't matter what Samael says. The fact of the matter is Death defeated Absalom not once but twice and the second time Absalom had corruption on his side and stil lost. I'll give only raw strenght to him. Any other category, Death stomps him.
Love to see this mate, as someone who's loved the Darksiders series since the beginning I love to see new people try them out! Well done on the plats my friend, I need to do the same and killer video as always!
Darksiders 2 had the most impact to me because i saw it when i was very young (and i just really like characters that use scythes/scythe-like for weapons)
the reason why 3 is boring compared to 1 and 2 its bc it was made in the peak of the souls like era, where every game was trying to do the same thing bc dark souls was so successfull, this made the game lose its way, i would love for it to be like 2, it would be better, sadge
@@-Insert_name_here- well, fromsoft was just reaching their GOAT status after Ds3, with bloodborne being such a masterclass of a game, we had the surge, lords of the fallen, remnant being announced, darksiders 3, at the time we didnt knew about elden ring yet since it only got announced in 2019 and the decline of quality in games was just starting to really show its ugly face, so at that time, it was the peak
eh, I didn't find 3 any boring at all, actually I welcomed it because it was different but still a Darksiders game through and through, we already had/have 1 & 2 which are so similar it is enough.. I love all 3 games and they are all bloody great games..
Glad you got to experience the amazing Darksiders series! 3 got a lot of flak on release because people were understandably looking for an action hack-n-slash like 1 & 2, then 3 comes out and it Souls-like. Once you click with the combat it’s an awesome game.
My only real problem with 3 was the dodge i-frames. If you didn't dodge perfectly, you got hit. I struggled with the timing and it had me hating the combat. Once I got the enhancement that increased the i-frames, combat became much more enjoyable
Yeah, Darksiders 3, just like Fury in the context of the horsemen, is a bit of the red headed stepchild of the franchise. I think there's fundamentally a few reasons why the game just didn't click with many players: 1: It's the only Darksiders game that doesn't really offer a power fantasy. The balancing and difficulty are such that the game offers a consistently high degree of challenge, but it also makes Fury as a protagonist feel very weak when compared to the other horsemen. With Fury, every encounter is a struggle, which just doesn't feel appropriate, considering the horsemen are supposed to be the most feared and powerful enforcers of the Council. The lack of finisher attacks isn't helpful either, but what really hurts is that there's no fights where you just get to shred through a bunch of low tier enemies with relative ease because you're a horseman and they're just a few random-ass revenants or demons, simply because even low tier enemies can shred you quickly if you slip up. 2: In a simular vein, them moving from hack&slash over to soulslike is a very jarring transition. So jarring in fact, that they retroactively added an option to have "classic" combat instead of the default, which is supposed to emulate the combat of previous titles a bit more by letting you dodge cancel out of animations. 3: While Fury's character growth is actually quite satisfying retroactively, it makes the first half of the game where she yet has to grow rather painful because she's being so aggressively rude and abrasive and you end up cringing whenever she pointlessly threatens someone or asserts her superiority. It's not necessarily something we would expect out of a Darksiders game since both Death and War don't really show that much growth - they are never truly in the wrong and it's much more about the world itself than about the characters. So you go in thinking you might be stuck with a horrible asshole of a character for the entire game. I don't think Fury has any genuinely redeeming character qualities until you get to the Lust fight and she's confronted with a vision of her own unreasonable desires that she actually learns a bit of basic self-awareness and starts working on herself. It's unsurprising that a lot of players just decided the game wasn't for them before it actually starts getting good.
Well actually 2,3, and genesis are all prequels. The time line hasn’t moved past war breaking the seventh seal at the end of the first game. War is still imprisoned by the charred council during 2-3, and genesis is set a millennia before the events of the first game.
This vid popped up at the most perfect time! The good old Darksiders games, what a trip. Out of all of them, I never played Genesis. And with that camera angle, I probably would get annoyed really quickly haha. Really like those transition screens where you answer your own questions, and use the 'dun dun'. And for sure sooooo much better to show a meme of someone destroying a laptop, instead of you breaking a controller🤣 That was quite a rant during Darksiders 3, super cool you left it in. Even with your opinion changing a bit. But totally agree, why they strayed so much from the first two games...we'll never know. Super funny at the end there, DS2 is the GOAT🤣 Really great vid Studdy! Really awesome to see a whole franchise in one vid, that must've taken a loooong time. Hope it does well and hope you are doing well too. Congrats on these 4 plats✌🏾🦖
Each Darksider game is based on the main character. Powerful sword battle "War", hack/slash "Death", challenge souls like "Furry", top perspective shooting game "Strife". Let's hope we have another hack/slash game for Darksiders 4 with Strife.
Great video as always mate and nice choice on this series I’ve not seen anyone else do all the games together before. You’ve got me intrigued into starting it now ! 🙌
I fell in love with the series especially with D2, the only one I couldn't Platinum was Genesis cause I'm not a top down gamer, but I remember enjoying D2 the most, great story too (in my opinion) glad you tried the Series out!
I got very sick 6 months ago and was in a really tough spot. I’m on the mend now and came across your videos and love the platinum series you got going on. Saw this one and it made me pick up the Darksiders series again as I have all of them and I finally cleaned them up! Got plats on all of them you motivated me to get it and it was worth it thanks Studdy! Keep up the great work man!
Tbf with 3 what happened was that it was 1 first released during the hight of everyone trying a Souls-like and not really getting quite there. I agree that Fury should’ve been a bit quicker and be more of an AOE fighter with her whip but we also gotta remember that between 2 and 3 THQ had shut down and then came back so 3 was like a game they made trying to go for mass appeal so they could stay afloat and not sink again, thankfully it seems they learnt through that for Genesis and since they sent out a Teaser maybe 4 with Strife is gonna be a bit more like 2 considering he’s not as burly as War XD
Another great vid, I don´t think many people have play any of the Darksiders games, they are some hidden gems. Congratulations with all the Darksiders platinum.
Such an amazing video man! Brought back so many memories watching this! We legit have the exact same opinion on all games😂 kinda sucked to see Dark 1 crash a bunch lmao. (18:29 PlatinumDom and Studdy conversation mentioned RAHHHH🔥🔥🔥🗣️)
Great video. I was out at the pub with some friends last week and we ended up speaking about these games, I’ve never played them and my friend was saying I should go for the platinum. Then the next day I woke up and saw you’d uploaded this. Perfect timing, definitely made me more interested in going for the platinum
Darksiders 1 has one of the most satisfying endings to a game I’ve ever played. Darksiders 2 is just an absolute masterpiece throughout its entirety. Genesis really isn’t my kind of game but it’s a worthy little side quest that is true to the hack and slash genre. It’s definitely underrated. Darksiders 3, I like the story and characters but the gameplay is soooooo boring. It’s like dark souls but without the fun. I came to these games a couple of years ago when they were sold for cheap so I ran a marathon with them all. When I got to Ds3, I genuinely just gave up out of boredom and forgot about it for a few months; I went back to it eventually and completed it but it really surprised me how much it departed from its roots.
Definitely one of my favourite vids by you on here. Ended up grabbing the Darksiders collection off the Steam Summer Sale just because of it, cheers bud.
@@AchievementHall thanks mate! Probably one of my favs too tbh.. put a lot of work into it, been trying to have the rest as good quality as this! Enjoy the games tho mate! Hope you love DS2 like I did
For darksiders 1, specifically warmastered edition, you can definitely get ALL the achievements in one run. Funny enough the hardest part about apocalyptic difficulty was LEAVING stragas boss fight for me
@@itsstuddy It's definitely coming as just before Remnant 2's reveal an artist at Gunfire accidently uploaded an new image of Lilith that we had never seen before
Darksiders games are great gems. Darksiders 3 was the reason i started platting souls games. I platted DS3 in one go by starting on apocalyptic difficulty. It was a great fun experience
Never been a darksiders fan, i never liked them but getting the platinum on them is certainly something new on here, never seen anyone else do it so at least you aren't just going for platinum trophies everyone does.
Honestly this is a series that I will always love and that I hope will continue to have at least one more game (because I want a full game with just strife 😘). A "final" game where you can swap between all four against the council would be great, but I'll settle with just one more with Strife. One thing I do like though, is how these games actually kind of designed around the fighting styles of each horseman. DS1 being a hack and slash fits War very well. DS2 being more of a RPG with stylized combat really does fit Death's style. And DS3 being more souls like really does fit Fury in a way (she mainly focuses on bosses, but she's not too hot-headed as to avoid upgrades and changing styles). I thought that that was something that was pretty cool. ^^ Here's hoping for another game in the future. 🤞. Can't wait to do a first-person shooter with Strife. XD
Played em all! Love the franchise! Darksiders 1 is probably my favorite with the chests, puzzles, completionist play style. If ur trying to play them in a story order wouldnt it be 1- first destroyer fight. 3- Fury goes out to make a name for herself and put War in his place while hes locked up within 100 year time skip. 2- Death goes out to try and clear Wars name within 100 year time skip. 4- Genesis, War gets out and joins Strife. 1- War goes on a revenge spree to find who made the false Call. If i recall thats their timeline unless genesis came before it all?
Darksiders 2 has been on my top list for ages. Still play it. There is a glitch where when you drop your weapon and equipt it again you can level it up again and makes for some crazy damage (Obviously a glitch and is not the intended way to play, but for anyone struggling, here you go)
I haven't properly watched the video yet and can already tell that the Darksiders 2 achievements have been the most challenging one and took you the longest. Soul Arbiter's Maze Scrolls, The Crucible, Stonebites and Book of the Dead Pages... Though upgrading *all* Cores in Genesis must have taken a while as well. Many are the lamentations of those who undertook and were tormented by the floating platform challenge in the hubworld for the Leviathan Core...
If you are still wondering about why you have such a difficult time with Darksiders 1 and 2 with crashes is because those two were made on a custom game engine with havok lighting, and yeah they still work on modern systems bc ps3 is still the bones of modern psn, but that lighting system really doesn't agree nowadays with modern OS's or PSN, so that is why Genesis and 3 are not glitch heavy as 1 and 2 and why the pausing worked on Darksiders 1, because you are techninally refreshing the lighting in the cutscene since it is done in engine and isn't pre-rendered
And if you are still wondering why they leaned so hard into making it like a souls game, a little unkown indie company called Fromsoft released a fairly underrated and unkown game at the time called Dark Souls 3 just 2 years before Darksiders 3.
As a 14 year old who has played Darksiders 2 at 4 years old on our old family pc thanks to my father, I can safely say Darksiders 2 is the best out of the entire series, sadly it didn’t get as much attention as it should have gotten which led to the developers going bankrupt, So happy to see an announcement for a new game after 5 years tho :)
i say you're pretty accurate with the evaluations. Genesis: the gameplay is amazing and the story is decent. the development system is pretty damn solid and the character swapping and interactions (gameplay and story wise) is top notch. the fcking CAMERA THO. that thing wrecks you more often than anything else, ESPECIALLY with all the platforming you have to do. DS1: it was very much a GoW/DMC inspired game. of which there was quite a few at the time (another major one was Prototype, which if you havent done, 1 and 2 are amazing games) gameplay is rock solid for a first of series game, and you FELT strong. like even at his weakest, War felt like a brick wall combined with a piledriver. sure you could get your shit wrecked but typically it felt super empowering. and the upgrade system, while bare bones for the most part, was pretty damn solid. even if you pretty much default to having the 4 horsemen enchantments on (war on chaos eater, death on scythe and fury on fist) DS2: is SUCH A GOOD GOD DAMN GAME!!!! yes it's kinda mired in DLC locked content (the OG release had the crucible locked behind DLC paywall and such) but you go back and look at the promo material, THEY WENT FCKING HARD ON THAT SHIT. and the gear system, holy fcking hell. yeah some level based shenanigans happen, but by the end you can have life steal, wrath steal and insane damage on your scythes and just.... end everything. by the end you feel like a force of fcking nature as Death should be. DS3: ..... yeah... this was the dissapointing one of the set. it REALLY leaned in on darksouls/metroidvania stuff as that was "popular" at the time i guess. my main issue with it is, Fury never feels as strong as she should. yes she feels powerful against lesser enemies and her super form looks and feels immense but.... generally.... she feels much weaker than her brothers. she is meant to be the arcane mage of the group, using her whip to physically destroy and her arcane magics to decimate entire areas. sure her multiple elements kinda goes with this, but it would have been cool if her wrath powers could be used far more often and with greater effects. the story is great though, i like how it was handled and ehr character developement is pretty damn solid. but it's greatest sin..... WHY THE FCK WOULD YOU KILL THE DAMN HORSE IMMEDIATELY!???!? like, all the promo stuff was her with her horse waiting to be called on. and you dont even get to ride even once. NOT ONCE!!! very dissapointing. but overall, solid game, just not as good as it;s brothers..... maybe it was on theme i suppose.
Played the hell out of 1 and 2. Played 3 till the last boss but never beat it just out of boredom. Skipped on genesis for the first year cause the Diablo style amd character switch ability wasnt my taste. then decided to bite the bullet amd played it maybe half way through.
Congrats on the plats! I've been tempted to give Darksiders II a go as I've never played any of the games in the series before so it was kind of cool to see this come out 😄. Quick question though - how come you've moved to doing multiple plats in one video instead of having 4 more in depth videos of each game uploaded close to each other
yeah fr I had to.. I listen to the soundtracks for all 4 games.. and 3's just didnt hit the same as 1 & 2.. and tbh even Gensis had a better soundtrack
If i recall 3 was made during the souls boom, everything had to be a souls like, you couldent escape them, and i think genesis was ment to be a holdover for strifes own game. I am pretty sure it said somewhere it was just a side game made by a diffrent company, since it was orignally made by THQ im not sure where its license ended up.
airship syndicate is where is Joe Mad, I don't know if they are still inder THQ Nordic but both Gunfire Games and Airship Syndicate were ex Vigil Games devs
I love all of these games. I have not played the third one yet. I kept delaying this game for years now. But still on my list. I must say I like first and second one equally. War is better character than death. But gameplay in the second one as Death was much more fun. But I did not see it coming. I spent the most time on playing and finishing Genesis. It was different, but really well made. I must say, this series does not get the recognition it deserves. Not many of my friends have played any of these games. Except all those bugs these games are carying... It's just wholesome. More games like this. I heard like a year ago or two, that there should be some netflix adaptation. Would be nice. Considering how well they did with Arcane (lol), and some more like Cyberpunk. It would be really nice of them.
Let's go man, you should try Angry Birds Trilogy on the PS3, 9/10 with an estimated 200 hours but if you don't want to, try do the Ratchet & Clank series
Gotta say, I'm genuinely so sick of people dumping on Darksiders 3. It's my favourite game in the series by far, and the only complaints I really hear people talking about essentially boil down to "it's different from the others", and stuff that's a serious skill issue. I feel like there's a large trend of reviewers of games especially, where they'll set expectations of the type of game they expect something to be, and when it doesn't fit that mould exactly, they dismiss it as terrible. That's exactly what happened with the RPG trilogy in Assassin's Creed. They weren't fully stealth focused games, so people hated them despite how much they actually did well. It's okay if you don't like a certain style of game, but to criticise a game for not being exactly the style you expected isn't a problem with the game itself, it's a problem with your expectations. I think people need to be more willing to enjoy something for what it is, rather than what they expect it to be
Im also grinding the achievments for all 4 games but im going with 1st Genesis 2nd D3 3rd D2 4th D1 and you may ask why. Its based on the time of the ending so since darksiders 3 ends with the destroyer in plain sight and lucifer mentioning the corruption will overtake them all it means that Darksiders 2 is next since the corruption doesnt exist in darksiders 1 and darksiders 2 ends with the narrator saying war broke the 7th seal and in darksiders 1 u do get to see all 3 of the summoned horsemen flying towards war after being summoned so darksiders 1 is ultimately the one thats furthest into the future than the other 3
RUclips apparently decided to recommend this 'entire series' run immediately after I'd watched the new Darksiders teaser trailer from 2 days ago... 😂 You might need to do a supplementary video in a few months time..!
Dude, I don't know if you got it, but from what I watched in the video, you didn't get the last piece of abyssal armor in Darksiers 2. You got the gloves, the boots and shoulder pads but you didn't get the "pants". You can do it This is the last piece of armor collecting all 40 pages and breaking all the boxes in the last door of the book of death in the side mission.
Watched through the entire video now. Welcome to the club and thank you for the video, which i say in accompaniment with great congratulations to finishing such a *very* big undertaking. I'm really glad that the series ended up being such a strong one for you and am hoping here along you and many others that it can properly continue finish the saga of the Horsemen with a good and satisfying ending. Heck, just with good, memorable experiences throughout, warts and all. Darksiders is a really odd beast that people can be quite divided over on what they like from it, what they want from it and what they think it should have. Generally 3 is indeed considered teh weakest and i'm inclined to agree, at least where it concerns story and writing. Similar to what you said at your feeling of 3, it feels like there's something odd about it. Not quite right on the writing front in comparison to 1 and 2, which some have found to last a bit into Genesis. I don't know how to put it into words exactly, but i shall try my hand at it: Darksiders 3 dialogue feels less snappy. Or flowing. The performances are good, but the writing's not quite like a theater or epic in the same vein that 1 and 2 are. Like you stated, Fury talks a lot more. There's a lot more talking in the game in general. War was quite strategic in what he said and when he said it, which made his wit shine all the more when he does show it. Be it in words, or in actions. Like kicking the Abyssal Gladiator's sword back at him, or chopping off his legs after the Gladiator mocked him for only having two legs to stand on. Death had more opportunities to converse and the characters had good writing to accompany their performances, and likewise. On the poetic end for characters like Eideard (old Maker), Muria (maker Shaman), Ostegoth (goatman merchant), more snide for Draven (Blademaster in Kingdom of the Dead) and the Chancellor, the Lord of Bones mixes those elements a bit... There is a likelihood that I could win in a structured and researched debate, with as purpose to analyze 3's writing in comparison to its siblings. But that likelihood would be put in the size class of ants, yet lack their skills of organization. Something is off in the writing. By now, other people in the comments have filled you in on the reasons why Darksiders 3 is a different beast-- shutdown of THQ, Vigil and the six-year limbo of the franchise. However, i find that there's still interesting things to Fury's story. As I understand it by now, she didn't initially join the Horsemen out of a sense of justice, or at least not fully. But because she wanted safety from the Nephilim's destruction. That puts her in a position where she fights for a cause she does not care for. Her only real care is for the Four as a whole. A small area of care to be sure. For someone with little direction in their life, there is little ambition other than to try and become the leader. Wrath states that he and his fellow Sins always considered Fury the dumb one-- she seems quite disrespected, the runt of the litter as it were. A tryhard dominatrix that needs to get the last word in. Hard to like such a character for sure. But it does mean that the development will be the most noticable. I'd say that Darksiders 3 has the lowest lows, but also a *very* big high where it concerns Lust. A creative take that shows Lust not as something explicitly sexual or erotic, as is very common. But as something more subtly alluring. Something that we *think* will make us happy, that will give our life fulfillment and makes life worth living. Something wherein we give up our self-control, our standards, our restraint and inhibition to pursue fleeting sensations that has us waste our potential and force the world around us to bend to our own desires, just for even a flicker of fulfillment. And it shall leave us with less than we started with. The fact that Fury reacted the way she did to her brothers being shown kneeling for her, shows strength of character. Fury is elevated by the bond with her siblings, a fact which Strife can attest to. How he got on Earth, we do not know... yet. But his love for Fury shines through strongly, else he would not go to the effort of taking up the mantle of Jones, to help her take first steps to a more fulfilling and meaningful path in life. Fury is still a tryhard dominatrix and I wouldn't mind a rewrite of Darksiders 3 with the writers of 1, 2 and Genesis or a writer like Jonas Kyratzes (Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, The Talos Principle), but all scenes surrounding Lust, plus Lust's performances itself has struck in the mind the best and most positively out of everything in Darksiders 3. Big comment of mine, if you took the time to read through it: Thank you for doing so, I hope you found it interesting. I'll be leaving another comment talking a bit more about Darksiders 3 and another game. I could put it in this comment but hey, more comments helps the algorithm or something. And i want to send this out before my computer may possible freeze or crash or just bug out like your console did :P Here's to hoping the best for the future of the Horsemen! May the story continue well and end well!
I read the whole thing. There's not much I can say, I found it an interesting read, and at times felt myself going back to scenes in Darksiders 3 in my head, like the scenes with Lust.. or Strifes return, now knowing he was there from the start being the only "human" not afraid of Fury. I think I can agree, that Fury while the most unlikable of the 4 horsemen.. she also has the most obvious characters growth, War & Death both more less stay on there own path.. Strife we dont know what he's gone through to be where he is, but Fury has a very clear character change which is actually nice to experience. Thanks for the great comment!
Darksiders 3 has fantastic writing, doesnt beat 1 but 2 is bloated and artificially extended with tons of dialog on top of dialog options. Story wise 2 is still very good but both 2 and 3 focus mostly on the characters journey while tying into the overall story at the end. Death reviving humanity and Fury protecting humanity. Fury is very well written as is death but Fury has a more focused and to the point story which is alot easier to digest and more enjoyable in my opinion.
I absolutely love 3. Its not for everybody but i think its great. I was mostly disappointed with genesis. Also you can change your dodge and it makes dodging muuuch better.(havnt finished the video yet so idk if you do it or not)
got the 1 2 and 3 dirt cheap on the winter sale. looked at the plats and went, nah dog, I can't be bothered. and just enjoyed them for the main story and combat. old games, still hold up pretty well. except some parts with the platform grabbing a bit. and not a huge fan of back tracking, but the first one had some fun portal shenanigans. also, weird, mine didn't crash a single time.
This new Darksiders game needs to be after DS1 cliffhanger, if they do Strife we will end up waiting another 6-10 years before they wrap it up. It needs to be now consider Genesis Strife game and let’s conclude this masterpiece. I’m thinking all 4 horseman will be fused into one character where like the hollows you can bounce back and forth between horseman, not sure how they could incorporate all 4 horseman separately unless it online based only or like Marvel Ultimate Alliance top down view
Darksiders is one of my favorite serious and I’m trying to platinum them, but I wanna know if you use a collectible guide for 3 and if you did can you tell me which one?
Awesome video, earned a sub with it! I've got a question though: What is the background music you used for this video? It feels familliar but I can't put my finger on it...
thanks! I believe all background music is from the Darksiders games themselves, I think I used background music related to the game.. although there might be one or 2 Skyrim background songs in there lol
I feel you on 3 being the worst. Playing 3 didnt feel like playing as a horseman. The 4 horsemen are supposed to be sickeningly powerful, but playing as Fury felt like shit.
I'm one trophy off the platinum in first Darksiders. Surprised you made no mention of the Aerial Predator trophy or gave no thoughts on the black throne area and how complicated and frustrating some of those puzzles are?
suppose they just didnt take much effort, I knew the aerial predator trophy before going in.. so I just saved prior, but it only took 3 attempts, but I can how others find it annoying! then the black throne area I dont know what you mean by that, I didnt find struggle in any other part of Darksiders 1.. so its not ringing any bells
Everyone hate DS3 cuz its literally a character arch for furry like the games Dev's created two separate studios and only one got to to the desthfinitvie edition of the second one then made 3
New Darksiders trailer dropped last night!!
Did you play the DLC's for the 2 and 3?
darksiders 2 is my favourite of all
Saw that bro I am huge fan of Darksider 2
Death is the God
We dong know qbout darksiders 4 tho and a third Person shooter with Strife is gonna be cool
Fun Fact: Death is the oldest of the four horsemen and was one of the first Nephilium to came into being. He is the one who cut off Wars arm (his big metal gauntlet) and was the strongest of the neiphilium. Reason why he uses random weapons and armor is because it is an unction mission, so that is why he isn't lock with a certain build.
i think you are wrong in the regard of Death being the strongest. Samael did say to Death: "flawed castings from a perfect mold. Absalom was always stronger than the rest of you..." Im sure this means Absalom is stronger.
@@bigw816wdym in a cutscene we see that death beat absalom and absalom then gets snatched by the corruption and you beat absallom at the end of the game that means that death beat absallom 2 times
@@bigw816 That's just Samael being Samael tho. There was certain truth to his statement cuz he knew the Council restricts the power the horsemen use but that's it. And besides it doesn't matter what Samael says. The fact of the matter is Death defeated Absalom not once but twice and the second time Absalom had corruption on his side and stil lost. I'll give only raw strenght to him. Any other category, Death stomps him.
Be glad you were on the remaster. The rail shooter portion of DS1 was a run killer. It was made easier on rerelease
honestly I can imagine, it was tense enough on the remaster lol
Love to see this mate, as someone who's loved the Darksiders series since the beginning I love to see new people try them out! Well done on the plats my friend, I need to do the same and killer video as always!
thanks bro! Appreciate it! They're for sure something I would now recommend to everyone!
Absolutely loved your Darksiders vids Mayor watched them many many times, what a great series this was
Darksiders 2 had the most impact to me because i saw it when i was very young (and i just really like characters that use scythes/scythe-like for weapons)
the reason why 3 is boring compared to 1 and 2 its bc it was made in the peak of the souls like era, where every game was trying to do the same thing bc dark souls was so successfull, this made the game lose its way, i would love for it to be like 2, it would be better, sadge
Wdym peak?? It’s peaking rn
@@-Insert_name_here- well, fromsoft was just reaching their GOAT status after Ds3, with bloodborne being such a masterclass of a game, we had the surge, lords of the fallen, remnant being announced, darksiders 3, at the time we didnt knew about elden ring yet since it only got announced in 2019 and the decline of quality in games was just starting to really show its ugly face, so at that time, it was the peak
eh, I didn't find 3 any boring at all, actually I welcomed it because it was different but still a Darksiders game through and through, we already had/have 1 & 2 which are so similar it is enough.. I love all 3 games and they are all bloody great games..
I like it the best in the trilogy. Fury is badass asf. I love the combat it’s the best in the series, and the story was good too.
Darksiders is more similar to GOW than DS. I just thought in 3 graphics wasn't that great and their "cartoony" character design was outdated.
Never saw someone 100%ing the Darskiders Series. Glad you came to it, because its straight up one of my , if not my favorite game series.
I can understand why.. they're awesome!
not 100%, missing the DLC for 3
Glad you got to experience the amazing Darksiders series!
3 got a lot of flak on release because people were understandably looking for an action hack-n-slash like 1 & 2, then 3 comes out and it Souls-like. Once you click with the combat it’s an awesome game.
yeah 3 does take some time to get into.. which is a shame as I can understand why so many people just leave it behind after a couple of hours
My only real problem with 3 was the dodge i-frames. If you didn't dodge perfectly, you got hit. I struggled with the timing and it had me hating the combat. Once I got the enhancement that increased the i-frames, combat became much more enjoyable
Yeah, Darksiders 3, just like Fury in the context of the horsemen, is a bit of the red headed stepchild of the franchise.
I think there's fundamentally a few reasons why the game just didn't click with many players:
1: It's the only Darksiders game that doesn't really offer a power fantasy. The balancing and difficulty are such that the game offers a consistently high degree of challenge, but it also makes Fury as a protagonist feel very weak when compared to the other horsemen. With Fury, every encounter is a struggle, which just doesn't feel appropriate, considering the horsemen are supposed to be the most feared and powerful enforcers of the Council. The lack of finisher attacks isn't helpful either, but what really hurts is that there's no fights where you just get to shred through a bunch of low tier enemies with relative ease because you're a horseman and they're just a few random-ass revenants or demons, simply because even low tier enemies can shred you quickly if you slip up.
2: In a simular vein, them moving from hack&slash over to soulslike is a very jarring transition. So jarring in fact, that they retroactively added an option to have "classic" combat instead of the default, which is supposed to emulate the combat of previous titles a bit more by letting you dodge cancel out of animations.
3: While Fury's character growth is actually quite satisfying retroactively, it makes the first half of the game where she yet has to grow rather painful because she's being so aggressively rude and abrasive and you end up cringing whenever she pointlessly threatens someone or asserts her superiority. It's not necessarily something we would expect out of a Darksiders game since both Death and War don't really show that much growth - they are never truly in the wrong and it's much more about the world itself than about the characters. So you go in thinking you might be stuck with a horrible asshole of a character for the entire game.
I don't think Fury has any genuinely redeeming character qualities until you get to the Lust fight and she's confronted with a vision of her own unreasonable desires that she actually learns a bit of basic self-awareness and starts working on herself.
It's unsurprising that a lot of players just decided the game wasn't for them before it actually starts getting good.
Well actually 2,3, and genesis are all prequels. The time line hasn’t moved past war breaking the seventh seal at the end of the first game. War is still imprisoned by the charred council during 2-3, and genesis is set a millennia before the events of the first game.
you're right, although technically war is freed mid 2 and 3, the moment death jumps in the well happens at the same time as war breaking the 7th seal
But isn’t death trying to redeem war and prove his innocence
@@statueteethtv yeah but he's doing that at the same time that war goes to redeem himself
This vid popped up at the most perfect time! The good old Darksiders games, what a trip. Out of all of them, I never played Genesis. And with that camera angle, I probably would get annoyed really quickly haha.
Really like those transition screens where you answer your own questions, and use the 'dun dun'. And for sure sooooo much better to show a meme of someone destroying a laptop, instead of you breaking a controller🤣
That was quite a rant during Darksiders 3, super cool you left it in. Even with your opinion changing a bit. But totally agree, why they strayed so much from the first two games...we'll never know.
Super funny at the end there, DS2 is the GOAT🤣
Really great vid Studdy! Really awesome to see a whole franchise in one vid, that must've taken a loooong time. Hope it does well and hope you are doing well too. Congrats on these 4 plats✌🏾🦖
Thanks for the support! I'm glad you enjoyed! Been trying to make the editing a bit more engaging but still not change my videos too much!
Each Darksider game is based on the main character. Powerful sword battle "War", hack/slash "Death", challenge souls like "Furry", top perspective shooting game "Strife". Let's hope we have another hack/slash game for Darksiders 4 with Strife.
They're all hack and slash games
@@andreamaral9725 I meant the main focus of each game
hopefully
one of my alltime favorite franchises! and YES, a new darksiders game was shown!
😕 Just a teaser, nothing from gamescom yet
@@MaxRamos8 but we know that another game is real at least :)
Underrated series for sure. Number 2 is my all time favorite game. I hope there’s a final game to wrap up the story.
Great video as always mate and nice choice on this series I’ve not seen anyone else do all the games together before. You’ve got me intrigued into starting it now ! 🙌
33:05 lol that was funny. There were a few jokes you had in here that made me audibly chuckle. Good job.
Great video man! these have been on my list to platinum for a little while now, think this vid has convinced me to do it. Keep it up man!
This game series is my childhood!!!!
I fell in love with the series especially with D2, the only one I couldn't Platinum was Genesis cause I'm not a top down gamer, but I remember enjoying D2 the most, great story too (in my opinion) glad you tried the Series out!
I got very sick 6 months ago and was in a really tough spot. I’m on the mend now and came across your videos and love the platinum series you got going on. Saw this one and it made me pick up the Darksiders series again as I have all of them and I finally cleaned them up! Got plats on all of them you motivated me to get it and it was worth it thanks Studdy! Keep up the great work man!
Thats awesome dude, glad to hear you're bouncing back! Thanks for the love!
Tbf with 3 what happened was that it was 1 first released during the hight of everyone trying a Souls-like and not really getting quite there. I agree that Fury should’ve been a bit quicker and be more of an AOE fighter with her whip but we also gotta remember that between 2 and 3 THQ had shut down and then came back so 3 was like a game they made trying to go for mass appeal so they could stay afloat and not sink again, thankfully it seems they learnt through that for Genesis and since they sent out a Teaser maybe 4 with Strife is gonna be a bit more like 2 considering he’s not as burly as War XD
Studdy having fun (mostly) love to see it
it's a bloody good day when new Studdy drops, especially on a game i've beaten the series of too!
Another great vid, I don´t think many people have play any of the Darksiders games, they are some hidden gems. Congratulations with all the Darksiders platinum.
Such an amazing video man! Brought back so many memories watching this! We legit have the exact same opinion on all games😂 kinda sucked to see Dark 1 crash a bunch lmao. (18:29 PlatinumDom and Studdy conversation mentioned RAHHHH🔥🔥🔥🗣️)
really happy to see people enjoying the DS games even many years later :)
the video was entertaining, was listening to this while drawing ♥
Great video. I was out at the pub with some friends last week and we ended up speaking about these games, I’ve never played them and my friend was saying I should go for the platinum. Then the next day I woke up and saw you’d uploaded this. Perfect timing, definitely made me more interested in going for the platinum
Darksiders 1 has one of the most satisfying endings to a game I’ve ever played. Darksiders 2 is just an absolute masterpiece throughout its entirety. Genesis really isn’t my kind of game but it’s a worthy little side quest that is true to the hack and slash genre. It’s definitely underrated. Darksiders 3, I like the story and characters but the gameplay is soooooo boring. It’s like dark souls but without the fun. I came to these games a couple of years ago when they were sold for cheap so I ran a marathon with them all. When I got to Ds3, I genuinely just gave up out of boredom and forgot about it for a few months; I went back to it eventually and completed it but it really surprised me how much it departed from its roots.
Definitely one of my favourite vids by you on here. Ended up grabbing the Darksiders collection off the Steam Summer Sale just because of it, cheers bud.
@@AchievementHall thanks mate! Probably one of my favs too tbh.. put a lot of work into it, been trying to have the rest as good quality as this!
Enjoy the games tho mate! Hope you love DS2 like I did
For darksiders 1, specifically warmastered edition, you can definitely get ALL the achievements in one run. Funny enough the hardest part about apocalyptic difficulty was LEAVING stragas boss fight for me
Congratulations !! Ihave all the platinums for Darksiders too , except for genesis . Darksiders 3 with Fury what's my favourite 😊
I need Darksiders 4 man, when are they going to announce it?
hopefully soon mate!
@@itsstuddy It's definitely coming as just before Remnant 2's reveal an artist at Gunfire accidently uploaded an new image of Lilith that we had never seen before
If I had the money I'd finance it
Today
@@michaelwood1937 hope so
Darksiders games are great gems. Darksiders 3 was the reason i started platting souls games. I platted DS3 in one go by starting on apocalyptic difficulty. It was a great fun experience
Never been a darksiders fan, i never liked them but getting the platinum on them is certainly something new on here, never seen anyone else do it so at least you aren't just going for platinum trophies everyone does.
Honestly this is a series that I will always love and that I hope will continue to have at least one more game (because I want a full game with just strife 😘). A "final" game where you can swap between all four against the council would be great, but I'll settle with just one more with Strife.
One thing I do like though, is how these games actually kind of designed around the fighting styles of each horseman.
DS1 being a hack and slash fits War very well.
DS2 being more of a RPG with stylized combat really does fit Death's style.
And DS3 being more souls like really does fit Fury in a way (she mainly focuses on bosses, but she's not too hot-headed as to avoid upgrades and changing styles).
I thought that that was something that was pretty cool. ^^
Here's hoping for another game in the future. 🤞. Can't wait to do a first-person shooter with Strife. XD
One of my favorite videogame series. After that teaser last week, can't wait for what the future reserves 🙂❤️
1 and 2 were chef kiss, especially the bgm oof those were sick!
Darksiders is a banger series. I have platted 1,2 and the Genesis one. 3 i didn't like but you gave me inspiration to go for it.
3 sucks at the start.. but it does get much better!
holyyyyy length, i’m loving it man keep it up
Great video as always Studdy!!
Yo darksiders is leaving ps plus this month, along with horizon zero dawn and another 20 or so games.
A bunch of Final Fantasy games, as well... Sad.
Bro wtf, I decided I didnt want to renew PS+ this month, and now I found out theyre leaving while I just barely started getting into Darksiders 2?
Sadly
@@SUPERVEGETTO92 And this one took me a while to Platinum. Some trophies are annoying.
ah that sucks! Ill have to make sure to check if theres any I want to play before hand!
Played em all! Love the franchise!
Darksiders 1 is probably my favorite with the chests, puzzles, completionist play style.
If ur trying to play them in a story order wouldnt it be
1- first destroyer fight.
3- Fury goes out to make a name for herself and put War in his place while hes locked up within 100 year time skip.
2- Death goes out to try and clear Wars name within 100 year time skip.
4- Genesis, War gets out and joins Strife.
1- War goes on a revenge spree to find who made the false Call.
If i recall thats their timeline unless genesis came before it all?
Darksiders Genesis is actually a prequel and takes place first!
Darksiders 2 has been on my top list for ages. Still play it. There is a glitch where when you drop your weapon and equipt it again you can level it up again and makes for some crazy damage
(Obviously a glitch and is not the intended way to play, but for anyone struggling, here you go)
I haven't properly watched the video yet and can already tell that the Darksiders 2 achievements have been the most challenging one and took you the longest.
Soul Arbiter's Maze Scrolls, The Crucible, Stonebites and Book of the Dead Pages...
Though upgrading *all* Cores in Genesis must have taken a while as well. Many are the lamentations of those who undertook and were tormented by the floating platform challenge in the hubworld for the Leviathan Core...
I love the excitement for the 4th game, I hope that the recent announcement from THQNordic means it’s not too far away!
Good job 😊. I platinum'd whole series as well on steam. I love darksiders. Cant wait for new game.
Darksiders 2 trophies are such a pain in the arse. Particularly the collectible ones
Darksiders II’s Guardian fight theme goes HARD. It’s easily one of my favorite game osts ever.
If you are still wondering about why you have such a difficult time with Darksiders 1 and 2 with crashes is because those two were made on a custom game engine with havok lighting, and yeah they still work on modern systems bc ps3 is still the bones of modern psn, but that lighting system really doesn't agree nowadays with modern OS's or PSN, so that is why Genesis and 3 are not glitch heavy as 1 and 2 and why the pausing worked on Darksiders 1, because you are techninally refreshing the lighting in the cutscene since it is done in engine and isn't pre-rendered
And if you are still wondering why they leaned so hard into making it like a souls game, a little unkown indie company called Fromsoft released a fairly underrated and unkown game at the time called Dark Souls 3 just 2 years before Darksiders 3.
As a 14 year old who has played Darksiders 2 at 4 years old on our old family pc thanks to my father, I can safely say Darksiders 2 is the best out of the entire series, sadly it didn’t get as much attention as it should have gotten which led to the developers going bankrupt, So happy to see an announcement for a new game after 5 years tho :)
Yes please platinum prince of Persia.
Love the channel keep smashing it 👊🏻
Are those available on PS?
i say you're pretty accurate with the evaluations.
Genesis: the gameplay is amazing and the story is decent. the development system is pretty damn solid and the character swapping and interactions (gameplay and story wise) is top notch. the fcking CAMERA THO. that thing wrecks you more often than anything else, ESPECIALLY with all the platforming you have to do.
DS1: it was very much a GoW/DMC inspired game. of which there was quite a few at the time (another major one was Prototype, which if you havent done, 1 and 2 are amazing games) gameplay is rock solid for a first of series game, and you FELT strong. like even at his weakest, War felt like a brick wall combined with a piledriver. sure you could get your shit wrecked but typically it felt super empowering. and the upgrade system, while bare bones for the most part, was pretty damn solid. even if you pretty much default to having the 4 horsemen enchantments on (war on chaos eater, death on scythe and fury on fist)
DS2: is SUCH A GOOD GOD DAMN GAME!!!! yes it's kinda mired in DLC locked content (the OG release had the crucible locked behind DLC paywall and such) but you go back and look at the promo material, THEY WENT FCKING HARD ON THAT SHIT. and the gear system, holy fcking hell. yeah some level based shenanigans happen, but by the end you can have life steal, wrath steal and insane damage on your scythes and just.... end everything. by the end you feel like a force of fcking nature as Death should be.
DS3: ..... yeah... this was the dissapointing one of the set. it REALLY leaned in on darksouls/metroidvania stuff as that was "popular" at the time i guess. my main issue with it is, Fury never feels as strong as she should. yes she feels powerful against lesser enemies and her super form looks and feels immense but.... generally.... she feels much weaker than her brothers. she is meant to be the arcane mage of the group, using her whip to physically destroy and her arcane magics to decimate entire areas. sure her multiple elements kinda goes with this, but it would have been cool if her wrath powers could be used far more often and with greater effects. the story is great though, i like how it was handled and ehr character developement is pretty damn solid. but it's greatest sin..... WHY THE FCK WOULD YOU KILL THE DAMN HORSE IMMEDIATELY!???!? like, all the promo stuff was her with her horse waiting to be called on. and you dont even get to ride even once. NOT ONCE!!! very dissapointing. but overall, solid game, just not as good as it;s brothers..... maybe it was on theme i suppose.
Played the hell out of 1 and 2.
Played 3 till the last boss but never beat it just out of boredom.
Skipped on genesis for the first year cause the Diablo style amd character switch ability wasnt my taste. then decided to bite the bullet amd played it maybe half way through.
Darksiders is so underated I remember playing it with my aunt and grandma
Congrats on the plats! I've been tempted to give Darksiders II a go as I've never played any of the games in the series before so it was kind of cool to see this come out 😄. Quick question though - how come you've moved to doing multiple plats in one video instead of having 4 more in depth videos of each game uploaded close to each other
Ey man, imma watch this later. Just wanted to say it’s beautiful you did this.
I like how you put music from the other games playing during the DS3 gameplay, the lack of good music in that one really hurt the experience
yeah fr I had to.. I listen to the soundtracks for all 4 games.. and 3's just didnt hit the same as 1 & 2.. and tbh even Gensis had a better soundtrack
If i recall 3 was made during the souls boom, everything had to be a souls like, you couldent escape them, and i think genesis was ment to be a holdover for strifes own game. I am pretty sure it said somewhere it was just a side game made by a diffrent company, since it was orignally made by THQ im not sure where its license ended up.
hmmm interesting, but yeah I can for sure see the souls-craze infested Darksiders 3 sadly
airship syndicate is where is Joe Mad, I don't know if they are still inder THQ Nordic but both Gunfire Games and Airship Syndicate were ex Vigil Games devs
I love all of these games. I have not played the third one yet. I kept delaying this game for years now. But still on my list. I must say I like first and second one equally. War is better character than death. But gameplay in the second one as Death was much more fun. But I did not see it coming. I spent the most time on playing and finishing Genesis. It was different, but really well made. I must say, this series does not get the recognition it deserves. Not many of my friends have played any of these games. Except all those bugs these games are carying... It's just wholesome. More games like this. I heard like a year ago or two, that there should be some netflix adaptation. Would be nice. Considering how well they did with Arcane (lol), and some more like Cyberpunk. It would be really nice of them.
Let's go man, you should try Angry Birds Trilogy on the PS3, 9/10 with an estimated 200 hours but if you don't want to, try do the Ratchet & Clank series
Darksiders 1 apocalyptic difficulty was pure ass when it was my one play through, it started extremely difficult and then became easy
And yeah, I'm still waiting for a proper Strife's game like the others, and one with all of them.
gotta get a Strife game soon surely!!
These games are on my GOAT list for series'....along with God of War, Mega Man X, Devil May Cry, and probably Need For Speed 🤘
Definitely gonna add the Darksiders games to my platinum collection at some point in 2024.
An absolute banger , grabbing some snacks
Gotta say, I'm genuinely so sick of people dumping on Darksiders 3. It's my favourite game in the series by far, and the only complaints I really hear people talking about essentially boil down to "it's different from the others", and stuff that's a serious skill issue. I feel like there's a large trend of reviewers of games especially, where they'll set expectations of the type of game they expect something to be, and when it doesn't fit that mould exactly, they dismiss it as terrible. That's exactly what happened with the RPG trilogy in Assassin's Creed. They weren't fully stealth focused games, so people hated them despite how much they actually did well. It's okay if you don't like a certain style of game, but to criticise a game for not being exactly the style you expected isn't a problem with the game itself, it's a problem with your expectations. I think people need to be more willing to enjoy something for what it is, rather than what they expect it to be
Im also grinding the achievments for all 4 games but im going with 1st Genesis 2nd D3 3rd D2 4th D1 and you may ask why. Its based on the time of the ending so since darksiders 3 ends with the destroyer in plain sight and lucifer mentioning the corruption will overtake them all it means that Darksiders 2 is next since the corruption doesnt exist in darksiders 1 and darksiders 2 ends with the narrator saying war broke the 7th seal and in darksiders 1 u do get to see all 3 of the summoned horsemen flying towards war after being summoned so darksiders 1 is ultimately the one thats furthest into the future than the other 3
RUclips apparently decided to recommend this 'entire series' run immediately after I'd watched the new Darksiders teaser trailer from 2 days ago... 😂
You might need to do a supplementary video in a few months time..!
hahahahah yeah im not surprised by this lmao!
Whatever the new game is that drops I think I'll be doing a video on it lmao!
Dude, I don't know if you got it, but from what I watched in the video, you didn't get the last piece of abyssal armor in Darksiers 2. You got the gloves, the boots and shoulder pads but you didn't get the "pants". You can do it This is the last piece of armor collecting all 40 pages and breaking all the boxes in the last door of the book of death in the side mission.
I can’t believe you only have 56k subscribers you deserve so much more❤
Nice work completing all 4 games Studdy!
Thanks Rob!
Joe Mad’s art is amazing!
Watched through the entire video now. Welcome to the club and thank you for the video, which i say in accompaniment with great congratulations to finishing such a *very* big undertaking. I'm really glad that the series ended up being such a strong one for you and am hoping here along you and many others that it can properly continue finish the saga of the Horsemen with a good and satisfying ending. Heck, just with good, memorable experiences throughout, warts and all.
Darksiders is a really odd beast that people can be quite divided over on what they like from it, what they want from it and what they think it should have. Generally 3 is indeed considered teh weakest and i'm inclined to agree, at least where it concerns story and writing.
Similar to what you said at your feeling of 3, it feels like there's something odd about it. Not quite right on the writing front in comparison to 1 and 2, which some have found to last a bit into Genesis.
I don't know how to put it into words exactly, but i shall try my hand at it:
Darksiders 3 dialogue feels less snappy. Or flowing. The performances are good, but the writing's not quite like a theater or epic in the same vein that 1 and 2 are.
Like you stated, Fury talks a lot more. There's a lot more talking in the game in general. War was quite strategic in what he said and when he said it, which made his wit shine all the more when he does show it. Be it in words, or in actions. Like kicking the Abyssal Gladiator's sword back at him, or chopping off his legs after the Gladiator mocked him for only having two legs to stand on.
Death had more opportunities to converse and the characters had good writing to accompany their performances, and likewise. On the poetic end for characters like Eideard (old Maker), Muria (maker Shaman), Ostegoth (goatman merchant), more snide for Draven (Blademaster in Kingdom of the Dead) and the Chancellor, the Lord of Bones mixes those elements a bit...
There is a likelihood that I could win in a structured and researched debate, with as purpose to analyze 3's writing in comparison to its siblings. But that likelihood would be put in the size class of ants, yet lack their skills of organization.
Something is off in the writing.
By now, other people in the comments have filled you in on the reasons why Darksiders 3 is a different beast-- shutdown of THQ, Vigil and the six-year limbo of the franchise.
However, i find that there's still interesting things to Fury's story. As I understand it by now, she didn't initially join the Horsemen out of a sense of justice, or at least not fully. But because she wanted safety from the Nephilim's destruction.
That puts her in a position where she fights for a cause she does not care for. Her only real care is for the Four as a whole. A small area of care to be sure. For someone with little direction in their life, there is little ambition other than to try and become the leader.
Wrath states that he and his fellow Sins always considered Fury the dumb one-- she seems quite disrespected, the runt of the litter as it were. A tryhard dominatrix that needs to get the last word in.
Hard to like such a character for sure. But it does mean that the development will be the most noticable.
I'd say that Darksiders 3 has the lowest lows, but also a *very* big high where it concerns Lust. A creative take that shows Lust not as something explicitly sexual or erotic, as is very common. But as something more subtly alluring. Something that we *think* will make us happy, that will give our life fulfillment and makes life worth living.
Something wherein we give up our self-control, our standards, our restraint and inhibition to pursue fleeting sensations that has us waste our potential and force the world around us to bend to our own desires, just for even a flicker of fulfillment. And it shall leave us with less than we started with.
The fact that Fury reacted the way she did to her brothers being shown kneeling for her, shows strength of character. Fury is elevated by the bond with her siblings, a fact which Strife can attest to.
How he got on Earth, we do not know... yet. But his love for Fury shines through strongly, else he would not go to the effort of taking up the mantle of Jones, to help her take first steps to a more fulfilling and meaningful path in life.
Fury is still a tryhard dominatrix and I wouldn't mind a rewrite of Darksiders 3 with the writers of 1, 2 and Genesis or a writer like Jonas Kyratzes (Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, The Talos Principle), but all scenes surrounding Lust, plus Lust's performances itself has struck in the mind the best and most positively out of everything in Darksiders 3.
Big comment of mine, if you took the time to read through it: Thank you for doing so, I hope you found it interesting.
I'll be leaving another comment talking a bit more about Darksiders 3 and another game. I could put it in this comment but hey, more comments helps the algorithm or something.
And i want to send this out before my computer may possible freeze or crash or just bug out like your console did :P
Here's to hoping the best for the future of the Horsemen! May the story continue well and end well!
I read the whole thing.
There's not much I can say, I found it an interesting read, and at times felt myself going back to scenes in Darksiders 3 in my head, like the scenes with Lust.. or Strifes return, now knowing he was there from the start being the only "human" not afraid of Fury.
I think I can agree, that Fury while the most unlikable of the 4 horsemen.. she also has the most obvious characters growth, War & Death both more less stay on there own path.. Strife we dont know what he's gone through to be where he is, but Fury has a very clear character change which is actually nice to experience.
Thanks for the great comment!
Darksiders 3 has fantastic writing, doesnt beat 1 but 2 is bloated and artificially extended with tons of dialog on top of dialog options. Story wise 2 is still very good but both 2 and 3 focus mostly on the characters journey while tying into the overall story at the end. Death reviving humanity and Fury protecting humanity. Fury is very well written as is death but Fury has a more focused and to the point story which is alot easier to digest and more enjoyable in my opinion.
I wait till the collection is in sale on xbox…
And you dropped that video.
I defintely „platinium“ all of them, but on xbox🤙🏽👌🏽
Nice Video ✌🏽
If you haven’t already Studdy I think you should put crash bandicoot: it’s about time on your list! Talk about a challenge! 😜 haha
I absolutely love 3. Its not for everybody but i think its great. I was mostly disappointed with genesis. Also you can change your dodge and it makes dodging muuuch better.(havnt finished the video yet so idk if you do it or not)
DS2 is legit epic AF. I'd love another game that plays similarly and gets some amezzin dlc.
I remember the I can haz cheeseburger app which was essentially just a meme generator. Haha
Just started the Xbox 360 version of 1, it was a shock hearing Mark Hamill
Brother you gotta start that bee simulator grind lmao
hahahaahah is it a long platinum?
@@itsstuddy I guess you’ll have to see when you play it MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Darksiders 3 should have just been Darksiders 2.0 instead of a soul like
Nah, Darksiders 2 is the weakest part of the series.
Another good video, and another 4 plats. Congrats❤
Thank you brother!
Mannnn I would love to see you have a crack at arcade paradise
“Garden of forking paths” as in “a fork in the road” meaning it took a mutitude of paths to collect. Not an actual fork or “fucking”. Lol
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!! That makes more sense than me just jumping to think they where swearing at me lol
got the 1 2 and 3 dirt cheap on the winter sale. looked at the plats and went, nah dog, I can't be bothered. and just enjoyed them for the main story and combat. old games, still hold up pretty well. except some parts with the platform grabbing a bit. and not a huge fan of back tracking, but the first one had some fun portal shenanigans. also, weird, mine didn't crash a single time.
Dark sides was like a cool fusion of god of war combat and Zelda like dungeons
This new Darksiders game needs to be after DS1 cliffhanger, if they do Strife we will end up waiting another 6-10 years before they wrap it up. It needs to be now consider Genesis Strife game and let’s conclude this masterpiece. I’m thinking all 4 horseman will be fused into one character where like the hollows you can bounce back and forth between horseman, not sure how they could incorporate all 4 horseman separately unless it online based only or like Marvel Ultimate Alliance top down view
Darksiders is one of my favorite serious and I’m trying to platinum them, but I wanna know if you use a collectible guide for 3 and if you did can you tell me which one?
rare entertaining guy found keep it up
thanks bro!
Fury is the slowest because she's in heels lmao
I do think it’s kinda cool that each game ended up being a different genre,(accidentally I think) but kinda makes each horseman more unique I think.
i do completely agree, i just wish 3 was more enjoyable
Woah, what? Never had that crash in darksiders 1 happen to me, sorry that happend to your first playthrough, thats rough
yeah was a real bummer.. but im just glad I found a fix around it
Awesome video, earned a sub with it! I've got a question though: What is the background music you used for this video? It feels familliar but I can't put my finger on it...
thanks! I believe all background music is from the Darksiders games themselves, I think I used background music related to the game.. although there might be one or 2 Skyrim background songs in there lol
Good stuff Studdy!!
Tinelines:
Darksides Genesis: the prequel
Darksiders 3: Before Darksiders 1 and 2
Darksiders 1 and 2: concurrently
I feel you on 3 being the worst. Playing 3 didnt feel like playing as a horseman. The 4 horsemen are supposed to be sickeningly powerful, but playing as Fury felt like shit.
Great video as always 💯💯💯
Thanks Chase!
I'm one trophy off the platinum in first Darksiders. Surprised you made no mention of the Aerial Predator trophy or gave no thoughts on the black throne area and how complicated and frustrating some of those puzzles are?
suppose they just didnt take much effort, I knew the aerial predator trophy before going in.. so I just saved prior, but it only took 3 attempts, but I can how others find it annoying! then the black throne area I dont know what you mean by that, I didnt find struggle in any other part of Darksiders 1.. so its not ringing any bells
@itsstuddy All those portal puzzles etc some were quite complicated without a guide
NGL, I replayed DS3 and, I actually really liked it
Everyone hate DS3 cuz its literally a character arch for furry like the games Dev's created two separate studios and only one got to to the desthfinitvie edition of the second one then made 3
Now *THIS* is a bible I can get behind!
Hell yeah dude 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I actually trying to get the platinum trophy of this game franchise
awesome dude! Good luck!
