Darksiders "Not Dead"

A Facebook post from Joe Madureira has word from the Darksiders designer that the series is not dead, saying he hope to offer exciting news on the franchise "soon." Word is: "Darksiders-- DS is not dead!!! The new owner, Nordic seems very committed to continuing the series. As far as my involvement, I can't say at this point. Hopefully we will all have exciting news about the franchise soon!!!!!!" Thanks All Games Beta.

Really what's worth preserving about Darksiders anyway? The only notable thing about it is the art. None of the game mechanics are original, or even implemented particularly well. The fictional universe isn't well written, cohesive, or engaging. The plot is meandering and makes the Horsemen look like weaklings that no one really fears.

So what you're saying is you liked the game and recommend it to friends and family, right?

I just liked playing as Death so I'm intrigued how they are going to continue the series (never played as War).
Now we donce.

It's a(nother) console genre... If you never liked those kinds of games, you won't like it just because you have it on PC. Especially if you try to use KBM.

Meh, I thought the first Darksiders was too button-mashy and consoly. I quit after an hour. Didn't bother picking up the 2nd one.

It's a nice mix of Zelda and God of War IMO. The second game was really weird though.

Darksiders 2 is actually a far better game than DS1 imo I liked it, and I mean, I really liked it (100% completion)

This is on my backlog of games to get to. I will say that if a 3rd one comes out that's normally the time that I will chew through the first two.

I dunno, Eddie and the Cruisers have been gone a long time.

I hope they patch the issues still present in Darksiders 2. Still glad to hear the series is not dead.

Yeah I still have some stuttering and lag issues on PC - and my computer is well capable of playing this game.

It's even worse with the DLC - problems with savefiles may crash the game when loading savegames with DLC content. Not sure if there's an unofficial fix somewhere.

Thankfully I had neither of these problems, but I doubt you will see fixes for that....

Hopefully this will be a worthy successor and not just a quick cash-in...

I really need to get back to the second and force myself through it... Thoroughly enjoyed the first, and didn't like where the second was going, but I'm sure there's lots to enjoy about it.
