EDIT: It's interesting that you can switch between "Classes" on the fly.

Yeah, they don't seem fast enough to warrant the change either. Sure there's the wall running and smaller target aspect, but they look like they're really easy to avoid and kill.urk said:
Well they would be, if the player didn't have extremely shitty aim. Hopefully it's just the player and not the controls.

i was coding signs at target today, and i was doing the ones from the electronics section. i learned that if you buy the darkness you get a free $10 gift card. i dunno if thats only for my target, but if its for all of them i just wanted to give y'all a heads up.

My thoughts exactly, beautiful game but the controls are killing it for me.

Someone mentioned that Circuit City will also have it available for $49.99 next week. It looks like there should be a big initial rush on The Darkness.
Nice to see the decent reviews so far. I used to read the Vol. 1 comics and seeing this game go from looking like a crappy game to this is very nice. The person who made the comparison to Riddick I think is spot on. The game has that feel of a unique FPS (or feel of its own) and not just a generic FPS.

Is this coming out for the pc or is it console only? pc gaming is in desperate need of a quality fps right now!!, as there's nothing out at the moment.

I've already wathced the "intro video" that is the "car ride" and I think I've spoiled enough of the game for myself. I'm waiting until I can spin the Blu-ray itself before I watch any more of the game.
Found some new (?) screenshots on The Darkness's official Xbox.com page. I think they are new, at least I haven't seen them before.

those are probably the four best shots i've seen of the game thus far.

Apparently Jackie looks like Kevin Spacey with long hair in the cutscenes between areas :lol

This is just bullsh*t talk. Absolute nonsens.
One guy said that once and it got spread around the internet, and now everybody acts as if it is unplayable.
I played it from beginning to the end on PS3 and not one second I thought about bad controls or nonsense like that.

Then why quote ALL of them, especially RIGHT after the original post containing all of the images?Hyrup66 said:

ahahaha i love how the darkline screams when he jumps
Well that doesn't really answer the question now does it?Mesijs said:
This is two different posts with people that have issues with the controls. Based on their own gameplay experiences and not what some guy on the 'net said. That's why I want specific examples of what the problem is.
As for your case, there are people who like/don't mind/don't notice issues with PDZ's controls either. They're wrong.

I have been playing 2K's review code on and off today (A few hours into the game) and I see no prob with the controls... to sum up what I have seen so far I think it very, very good game but at times it seems Starbreeze were playing it to safe and were afraid to insert many new ideas. There is some good stuff in there though and the game is seriously violent (I can see a multiple parts of the game be singled out and getting attention in the mass media!) It is giving me serious Riddick vibes to... at times it is almost too familiar
Stuff I like
+ Darkness power (it good to have a reason why bullets dont kill you)
+ Lack of HUD, more games should do this (I liked Condemned for this reason to)
+ Different ways to do things, I already feel like I want to play through cerain parts again
+ Youll love it if you played Riddick
+ Gaining new powers as you go, makes you want to play more, more and more!
+ People freaking at you (multiple people freaking at you at the one time!)
+ Blood staying on the Darkness tentacles after you cause mayhem (yes I am sick!)
+ Voice acting
+ The Gunner, The Gunner, The Gunner!
Stuff I dont like
- Starts out to slow, having just a Berserker minion can get boring surprisingly quickly
- Can be parts that are too dark (at least on my TV)
- You have feelings of déjà vu if you played Riddick
- Sending a Darkness head out to do you cant reach things, good idea but i dont like it

I can't wait for this game, I ****ing loved Riddick.
I thought using darkness heads to scout would be pretty cool, is it badly implemented or just not your cup of tea?
