GamesMasteruk Review score

Darksiders II currently has the best combat in a western game, and it's not even a hack'n'slash title, but more of an action rpg.

It's a shame the community died so fast and people didn't explored as much as the game had potential to.

I hope the Hunter Demon gets a LOT more aggressive on Son of Sparda and up, because it's a boss fight made for you to be able to beat with only Rebellion and Ebony&Ivory without any advanced moves, but when you unlock SoS mode you'll already have everything, and the fight stays balanced around two limited weapons it'll be too easy, and all the potential will be wasted. I'm so looking forward to beat him without touching the ground or taking any damage in DMD

I think it's easy because it is the first mission. I believe the game really amped up the difficulty after you hit mission 5, but the ones before it are supposed to be pseudo tutorial

I don't really like Darksiders II, but the first game is amazing!

Sure, but Son of Sparda is only unlocked after you play through the game, so you don't need tutorial-difficulty fights, that's what I'm hoping for.

You like Darksiders 2?
Im confused.
But ok, its your opinion.

Darksiders 2 combat system is quite expansive from what I've seen.
Literally every video that I watch has someone using a different weapon throughout the whole video. As well as different moves. It has a bunch of attacks/abilities thrown into it. And it improves combat from the previous game as well.

Judging by what I watch, I say it closely rivals to the creativity in DMC4 combos. But not complexity/technical skill. Even so, it still catches my attention for being extremely expansive.

As for me not liking DmC, I won't buy it since the combat from the previous games is pretty much a downgrade in terms of apm (actions per minute), technical skill, and precise controls from the previous games. The story I can watch on YouTube since I won't be playing something that's supposed to be "better" in terms of combat, for a Devil May Cry game, when it clearly isn't.
I played the demo and I wasn't that impressed to see what was shown. So I'll just get Darksiders 2 when I have the chance.
 
The combat in Darksiders II is really good, but don't get too hyped about his1nightmare's comment, he was on crack when he said that lol

But it's REALLY good, and I honestly think that it'll probably still be better than DmC's combat, but DmC's combo videos will look a lot better because there will be an actual community for it, people let Darksiders II die too fast, such a shame...

Can't blame them though, outside of the combat, the game is quite a chore to play through.

EDIT: Just saw him answering you on youtube, he was a lot more reasonable then haha

Yeah I took his word for it considering that the combat system does look pretty good.
It doesn't look that stylish, in which his1 was right about that, but I was already interested before his1 replied back to me.
His reply just re-established my interest in the game.

Even the first game has some pretty interesting combat thanks to the unintentional Crossblade Canceling.

And thinking about it, maybe a few Darksiders II videos by you is just what the Darksiders' scene needs to revive! I'd gladly dive in once again to explore new tech!

Nah, I don't have a big enough fanbase to help rise the interest in the game. But I might upload a combo video whenever I have the tools for it. (a dazzle, the game itself, etc)

I think that the hit counter actually harmed the game's community. If you search for Darksiders combo videos, you'll see a few results that matter and the rest are all "INFINITE COMBO!!" "999 HITS COMBO!!", meh >_>

It's not even about the fanbase, but more quality combat content out, specially if you approach it in a didactic way (at least in the description)

his1 hyped it up and then quit the game :(

I agree. I hate combo markers these days because people make it seem so important.

lol yeah he seems like he did. Oh well though.
Overall, I've always wanted to try out Darksiders II since the trailers. But I never did.
I even looked at the game case in GameStop with $200 bucks sitting in my pocket and I decided not to get it.
Buuuut instead I got Borderlands 1 & 2, which are awesome FPS games.

I really loved what I played of Darksiders II, but...the game glitched out on me, and I couldn't do anything to rectify it other than starting over :C
