If I had water in my mouth, I would have spit it all over my screen.
I do hope Nordic Games is serious about making a Darksiders game though.
This franchise is one of those that is just on the cusp of being truly great.

They pretty much need to remove all the 3rd person turret/mini gun sequences from all the games. The Portal stuff is fine, it's interesting and led to some cool puzzles in both games.shit just needs some focus, man. Last one was like a hodgepodge of God of War, Zelda, Diablo, Portal, third person shooter, etc.

Surprise 3rd person turret/mini gun sequences need to go away from almost all games.
Give it to platinum and they will make a better game with probably 30% of that budget.
I think I enjoyed a couple in RE4. Also enjoyed it in Halo 3 when you could rip out the turret and use it as a mini gun in 3rd person.I'm trying to remember the last time there was a turret section in a game and I was like "aw shit yeah son a turret section"
Yeah because Platinum has ton of successful games.
OT: I really enjoyed Darksiders 2 but it was never going to make back that kind of budget. These types of games can be successful but they have to be budgeted where they can sell around 2m copies and be able to turn a profit.

This. Darksiders II was elevated by it's God-tier soundtrack.Every penny spent on Jesper Kyd is a penny well spent.
If that's the criteria for judging if a game is "AAA" or not then Destiny is D- tier gaming.This. Darksiders II was elevated by it's God-tier soundtrack.
I share the confusion here though - if this is just for the development, I'm not sure it all ended up on the screen. It's a great game, but it doesn't feel like a AAA game. The lack of a meaningful story probably has a lot to do with that, too.
For me: Modern Warfare 2 in the chopper covering the evacuation from DC, and in the GRAW campaigns and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. That's it though.I'm trying to remember the last time there was a turret section in a game and I was like "aw shit yeah son a turret section"

I don't know why people are surprised at this when Destiny just came out with probably a budget of 200 million+ and that game is at times more empty and lifeless than DS2.
I haven't played Destiny, but I have an honest, totally serious question:
Has there ever been a game with a multiplayer co-op focus, raids, drop in, drop out, etc. gameplay that has ever had a good story?
Diablo doesn't. Borderlands doesn't. Halo, honestly doesn't. WoW really doesn't.
Really, all of those games have decent-to-good lore, but the actual stories are bleh. Maybe it's the nature of the macro system structure that kills the chance at a compelling narrative.
Diablo 1 and 2 had solid stories. Nothing great but they got the job done.Has there ever been a game with a multiplayer co-op focus, raids, drop in, drop out, etc. gameplay that has ever had a good story?
And with marketing included $40M. But still, that's Polish development costs, considerably cheaper wagesIsn't The Witcher 3's development budget near $15M?
Isn't The Witcher 3's development budget near $15M? Where did all of the Darksiders money go?
personally, I thought the combat in DS2 was just fine. Thanks Tragic
No thanks. I doubt Platinum has it in them to finally make a game that isn't cringingly over the top for no reason.Give it to platinum and they will make a better game with probably 30% of that budget.
