PS3 VS 360 from GT.

They look the same to me but PS3 has better color imo.

I just tried it for the first time a moment ago. The intro was cool! This is a pretty sweet game, even though I didn't get too much time to play past the intro, I was already lovin' it. Heck, even my mother wanted to see what was going to happen next!

You get an ability that allows you to break lights easily very early in the game.Deacan said:
I just hate the fact I have to aim at them all the time, and waiting for the Darklings takes way to long.
Its just a minor annoyance, I still love the game the presentation is fantastic, and I love the little monologues when its loading.

cutting out the lights so that you can unleash the darkness is a cool concept. i just think they were kinda dumb about it.
how it should be: you come up to a room. you peak through the doorway/window/whatever, you shoot out the room's light. the room goes dark, the enemies are immediately scared and can't see well so they start to panic. you run in and start taking them out, sometimes utilizing the cool close quarters excecution moves, as they are confused, panicked and blinded by the darkness.
how it is: you come up to a room. you peak through the doorway/window/whatever. you observe that the one room has 6 cieling lights, 3 lamps, and 4 wall lights. you think "well ****, if i don't take out all those lights i'm going to melt like the wicked witch of the west because i'm such a bitch emo goth." you take out the first light, a couple guys are alerted and run over to where you are and you take them out. you walk in a little bit and take out another couple lights, and again, a couple guards meet you and you kill them. by the time you have all the lights out and the room is dark, all the guys are already dead. as you progress to the next area, you think "well that was a waste of time... why doesn't this game have grenades?"

it really is...
The dynamic metal parts I had to get used to, but they fit everything else well....the overall theme playing during the subway parts is both hauntingly sad/beautiful...
...more so when you loose jenny =(
Just finished the game. I really enjoyed the experience a whole lot in the end. I can't wait to play it again, really.
I must admit, however, that it felt EXTREMELY short. Not a big deal, though, as I had so much fun. They really succeed at making you feel powerful. Shooting out lights early on was a bit tedious, but it makes sense in that you truly appreciate your abilities later.

Ok, I hate to do this but im stuck.
edit: nm, I found where to go
After you die in the church and have to find the shell in the other world, I have no idea where to go. Ive tried following the tracks over the water but that damn plane kills me everytime. Where am I supposed to go?

Just started playing this a couple hours ago. Holy crap! Awesome stuff!
So mmm. I have a game breaking bug and it freaking sucks.
I'm on the 5th chapter and every time I try to go to the Lower East Side, the game locks up and freezes. I've tried restarting the chapter, loading my last checkpoint, and everything else I can think of. I exchanged my disc and the problem still exisits. My save file must be defective or something.
Anyone else have this problem? Possible solutions?

Problem with Gun Hill...
I'm there to kill Schrute, followed him through the building no problem but the chopper kills me dead every time. I can't hide from the rockets, I can't dodge them (last one always kills me) and emptying my gun at the chopper doesn't seem to damage it. Is there a trigger I'm missing? Should I stop trying to find a safe spot and just fight the chopper?
My Darkness Review
by Urk
I like the Darkness. It is fun. Mike Patton is creepy. I bet he's cool in real life though. I ate Vin Diesel's face and he deserved it because he was in the Pacifier. People on GAF don't get motion blur. I do. It makes stuff blurry. Darklings and eating hearts is fun in a bizarre, morbid sort of way. Starbreeze and Union are pretty cool fothermuckers. 2K is alright, I guess. Does this game have multiplayer?

I did the same thing. I died probably three times before I realized what to do.calder said:

Might be your 360. My 360 still freezes occasionally in random spots during The Darkness (launch console)- it seems to happen a lot more with newer games with lots of sparks.HydrantC12 said:

The same thing happened with me and GRAW2, I couldn't get past 15 mins in single player. A lot of people had the same problem, but they never fixed it I guess.HydrantC12 said:
