It’s Leon and Phil again to talk you through new footage of The Darkness 2 in this PS3 video review. (You can read Phil’s full Darkness 2 PS3 review here). Here we discuss the changes to the sequel, the bloody (but fun) combat and the less than sucessfull boss fight where it all gets a bit Deus Ex.
Hunble Bundle is currently offering free copies of The Darkness 2 for the next 48 hours. The Darkness 2 is an intense first person shooter that – according to its description – delivers a twisted and gripping narrative of tragedy, modern crime drama, and supernatural horror.
This is why I don't buy video games anymore. I have a huge Steam backlog and developers are gracious enough to offer their products for free. Fortnite is free, Darkness is free, lots of good free games. Thanks Humble
The Darkness II has received some huge price cuts, the game is currently available at just $5.99 on Steam, 85% lower than its original price $39.99.
I had a blast with the 1st one. It was perfect. The 2nd not that much, was pretty forgettable tbh and the cell shading, although beautiful, was not my kind of tea
That said, if they make a 3rd one they should make it a bit closer to the original's...vibe and looks.
I still enjoyed 2, it still kept some of the neat things from the first one. Having said that, the first is considerably better, I'd rather the 3rd (somehow) end up being made by machine games which seems to be where a fair amount of the darkness/butchers bay devs ended up.
are we talking switch ports again or why is another lastGen game in the headlines?
I personally enjoyed this one more than first game (even though I think first one is good too)
Matt Ferguson from G4@Syfygames writes "When I think of tragic love stories and star-crossed lovers, I can't recall a more heart-wrenching example than Jackie Estacado and Jenny Romano from The Darkness. What begins as a romantic story between two people from very different worlds ends abruptly in a horrific tragedy, drawing many parallels from the works of Classical Greek tragedians and epic poets."
Still own a copy of both of them. The Darkness III on PS4/PC/XONE would be awesome.
Damn it this sucks I can't really get into this game. I want but don't like the comic book graphics
to be honest i love the first one but the cartoon graphics just dosnt do it for me i was looking forward to this aswell same with borderlands the style of graphics just seems unplayable to me
My god, what is it with people hating on stylised visuals? Too much colour doth sear thine eyes and make you imagine too much outside of grey military shooters? Does every bloody game have to look realistic?
The visuals suit the tone and atmosphere of the game. It's a comic book.
bioshock looks great this just isnt my style plus being a 5 hour game dosnt help either.
