Darkness 2

I'm hoping that not SP but some sort of MP option.

I hate it when a game gives you points for doing things if it doesn't warrant it.

In Bulletstorm, it made sense. In this game, it looks tacky.

Yeah, I figure as much but I don't like how they show up after you do something.

Totally takes me away from the game. It's not immersive at all. In a game like Borderlands, it works but a game based on storytelling, it looks dumb.

I hope so too.

The first game is great. If I remember correctly, there wasn't even a HUD (I know Starbreeze games don't usually have one).

I've been burned by game sequels that were developed by a different firm before so I'm going to wait.

I'll probably rent it and then a year from now, buy it off Steam when it goes 85% off. (If I liked it that is)

Shhhh!!! don't let the game companies hear that. They hate words like "used", "rent" and borrowed".

Demo is up.

I'm excited for this game. Enjoyed the first one. I'm not familiar with the comic so I couldn't fault it for consistency or anything.

So I played the demo and uh...wow. The gameplay felt so hardcore the moment I got my Darkness powers. In the first Darkness game, I mostly had that 'meh' feeling everytime I used my powers (gameplay-wise of course. The cutscenes were badass) because they felt so limited and relying on my Darklings was kind of a bad move considering how poor their AI was but now in the sequel, things felt like they've been improvedx10. I am so looking forward to when this game comes out.

Is it just me or is it kind of funny how the mobsters don't freak out the moment they see Jackie (their boss) flinging Brotherhood members around like ragdolls with demonic tendrils?

The game is pretty damn cool.

I was pleasantly surprised and I'm glad they allowed you to turn off the essence counter.

I think it's cool they went with a more cartoony look but I think I rather have the more realistic look.

Well the reason they went with the cartoony look is because its based on a comic..... kind of a stupid reason really.

Yeah, they seem to do a pretty good job at creating the look. I have no problem with it. It's refreshing to see a developer try something completely different for a sequel.

I just prefer the more realistic look that first game had. I think it creates a more believable environment when the game goes out of it's way to create a immersive atmosphere and story.

I still think the game looks pretty damn cool. I think they nailed the gunplay. It feels totally solid and badass.

The only thing I didn't like about the 1 st game is when you went from a place to another there was no action in it I mean the streets were empty almost the whole time.
It seems they solved the problem.
Also as Nemesis said some of the powers were pretty useless.

Yeah, I pretty much just used the tendrils. Also, after awhile in the game, aren't there a bunch of guys hanging out in the streets?

Nah most of the time the streets were empty...

Yeah people only were only on the streets if you had a mission that you started for that area.

Oh...It's been awhile since I played the game.
