Brushfire

How long do you think it will be before Nintendo divvies out condoms for their controllers cause people break the fuck out of them.

I disagree, as it seems a lot of consumers are waking up to the increasing usage of gimmick coming from the Nintendo Camp.

Because poor people. Also the most powerful is not the most successful. Case in Point the PS3. Distant third compared to the underpowered 360 and Wii.

32 gigs of internal is not enough storage for DLC. Just an FYI. Also the hardware specs are just a tiny bit better than two systems that came out 7 YEARS AGO. With their sequel consoles on the horizon, the WiiU's hardware is nothing to get excited about. Especially when the PC I already own beats the snot out of its hardware. And it is more than a year old.

If only Okami hadnt come out 6 years ago on the PS2. Oh... Wait...

It does if you are off work that day. They have the app for it on Nintendo Shop.

Nope, video games are a perfectly acceptable hobby. Specially when I could be doing drugs or gambling. The reason you see this on your 3DS, is because I run Netflix offa my 3DS while playing other games. Ran through Futurama, South Park, and just started Family Guy.

You've never met me.

That is kinda sucky. Though My 3DS is supposed to get that an it actually gets around 7 hours without the 3D on.

Imma stuff it in my pants. The revolution has begun!

The PS3 Slim... Slim. So Sony's master plan for getting a jump on the next console cycle is to not do shit. Hilarious.

I give no shits how a system loads it discs.

PS3Go, such a good idea.

That's still anime bro.

Cause you're a tard. Darksiders II is the sequel to probably one of the best Zelda clones ever made. Many folks said that the first Darksiders sucked because it borrowed elements from popular games like Ocarina of Time, Portal, and God of War, but to them I say that all of entertainment was built by piggybacking off of the popularity of other things. Honeymooners and the Flintstones, Sgt. Bilko and Top Cat. Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, and Chief Wiggum. The list goes on and on. The first Darksiders took the successful elements from those games (and from the Bible), put their own spin on it, and framed it with a story that was awesome. It was, from start to finish, a game that kept me interested in what was going to happen next, as well as the lore that it's own universe created. Does the second outing stack up? Let's find out shall we? So for it's sophomore outing The Darksiders franchise made some changes. Most notably the protagonist this time around is Casey Jones from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, though it seems he dyed his skin blue and now goes by the name of Death. That's right, you control the most feared of the Four Horseman, Death. Though they kinda pacified him. I dunno about you but if I were Death, I would try to command a bit more respect. Everywhere he goes, people are all like “Death you are a faggot and I ain't gonna help you.” Maybe the game Darksiders II: Death is a Jerk to Everyone wouldn't sell well. They story of the game has our hero trying to redeem his brother War from the previous game for destroying all humanity by restoring all... of... humanity. The story in a word is “lacking.” Perhaps the divine plans go over my mortal head, but that doesn't make much sense to me. Whatever. Death accomplishes this by going on fetch quest after fetch quest for lazy survivors of the apocalypse, some with impressive bosoms, others with impressive beards. However all of the impressive Bearded Boobs in the world cannot makeup for our next subject, the game play. When talking about the meat and potatoes of the game, how does it play? Once again it pulls from Zelda and God of War for the action moments and puzzle solving, but this time instead of being linear and well paced like it's predecessor, the devs decided they wanted to emulate Skyrim for it's open ended size and sandbox environment, Assassin's Creed for traversing said huge map, and perhaps most excruciatingly of all, Diablo 3 for it's dungeon crawling and loot aspect. They did add more RPG elements which I liked, but they forgot that the grind needs to be quick enough to where you don't really notice it takes 2 hours of game play to make level 8. I will say this again. IT TOOK 2 HOURS TO GET LEVEL 8. 45 minutes is about how long I am willing to grind before I before I become irate. I will say that combat is pretty fluid, save for the Mass Effect quick select menu, which had me often picking Reaper Form instead of what I actually needed. Being an action game that is boring is a sign it not being a good action game. Because it emulates the grind fest that Diablo, and several other MMO's are, it takes you out of the moment. An action game that should be 15 hours or so, because of grind and script padding ends up taking 40+ hours on the hardest difficulty. Normally one would point out that because it pulls inspiration from Skyrim that this sort of thing is OK. However this is not the case. Skyrim's environments are lush, and interesting to look at. Most of Darksiders II outdoor environments are gray, dirty and devoid of interesting. The dungeons have their moments of being impressive, but that can't make up for the rest of the game. This game would’ve benefited from being linear like it's older brother. It could've streamlined the entire game by eliminating it's tedious, and I mean really tedious, quests and saved the user about 15 hours. The ideas and mechanics it pull from; when the devs did it right, they did it so very right. However when they did it wrong, which is the case for the scope, pacing, loot grinding, menus, quests, and a myriad of other things, they could not have gotten it more wrong. I will not fault them for their trying of new things, which is a rarity in this day and age. So Bottom Line: Is it worth recommending? That would be a resounding “No.” It is rife with problems that can't just be overlooked. Pacing is something that can kill a game, and this one struggles with it. Having fetch quest after fetch quest and some times fetch quests within fetch quests drags the game and artificially lengthens it. If you enjoy grinding, there are better games out there to do it with. If you enjoy action games, there are better games out there. And if you enjoy Darksiders, you may want to play it, but story is so lame you just may give up the series entirely.

Darksiders 2 is not good.

As with all consoles, I need at least five games to justify picking one up. WiiU have Bayonetta 2 and Scribblenauts Unlimited. Can't justify it. Most people would point to NSMBU as a title to pick up, however there is no reason to after how disappointing NSMB2 was for the 3DS,

Doesnt everyone already own it from the SNES? I mean everyone goes on and on about it, you'd think that no one really wants to own it again.

Congratulations on grabbing the brass ring. To answer your question: Pretty much. Edit: 4000th Post!

Step up to flavor country. Stop living in the past.

Honestly, favorite franchise is the Ratchet and Clank Series, but Sony is terrible too. And yes, Epic Mickey was terrible too. Only Nintendo Franchise that is still any good is Mario Kart. I weep for they did to Samus, and what they didnt do for Zelda.

Cause you are a kid.

In before Squeenix becomes gay baby nerds and C&D's it just like with OCR.

I played Final Fantasy 13.
