I just downloaded Darksiders on PSN. It's a pretty good God of War clone.

Is Dante's Inferno a good game too? I'm thinking about getting that one as well. I love God of War-style games!

Darksiders is nothing like Zelda. It's more of a brutal hack-and-slash game, much like God of War, Bayonetta, and Devil May Cry. Though DMC is more stylish.

It has all the features of God of War:

  • A super powerful warrior killing enemies with a powerful weapon
  • The enemies drop collectible souls
  • You find chests with more souls
  • You use these souls to upgrade your weapons
  • Gigantic boss battles where all you do is slash repeatedly, dodge, repeat
  • Tons of quick-time events ("mash the Circle button")

So if you think Darksiders is more like Zelda, then that means God of War is like Zelda too.

It follows the Zelda formula to the letter. You go through dungeons, solve puzzles, get new items/upgrades to help you solve your tasks. It really is a Zelda clone, just with God of War combat and style.

Also, true story: Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry were inspired by Zelda.

How far are you into the game?

The Dungeon formula once you get into the game is exactly like a zelda game. Lots of puzzles and chest around, Get item after killing mini boss than use said item too kill boss. rinse repeat.

I just got to the gate where War meets Samael for the first time. I'm pretty early in the game. So far I haven't seen many Zelda elements at all, it's all just hack-and-slash.

Yeah your not their yet. Soon the game is going to become very Zelda-esque.

You should probably play through it before developing an opinion.

Can anyone tell me why Resident Evil 5 isn't fun? Unless you play co-op online it's... tedious...

Only you can answer that. I personally find the game to be very fun.

Yeah it's heaps like Zelda. You will see when you play it a bit more. Awesome game though. One of favourite PS3 games. Looking forward to the sequel this year.

Fuzzy, Backloggery.

Chrono_Cross

It's definitely not Resident Evil. I'm going through it on Veteran with a friend. The camera angles are annoying, the tank controls drive me insane, and the storyline doesn't grab me. Thank god I'm only borrowing it.

Just for you.

To anyone who has played and beaten Darksiders:

Is there an actual overworld to explore? Or is it just "running down a linear path" like in God of War or Devil May Cry?

Is there even a benefit of going 100%? I'm focusing on side missions for now, until i get my copy of Asylum in the mail.

The best kind of benefit, personal pride. I'm up 95% now, just a bit more challenge maps. It felt really good to 100% New Game+ mode.

Little bit of Syphon Filter knowledge from an old fan. The series first release was released before the PSone dual analogue controller, so that is why the controls are crazy and the game uses and auto aim feature. When Syphon Filter 2 came out, even with the dual analog controls, the right analog stick still wasn't used for turning the camera like we are so used to today. Back when the games released, they were some of the hottest shooters on the market and got very high scores all around. But, as most all of the PSone game's, they haven't aged well at all. Stick with the PSP games and also pass on the average Syphon Filter game on the PS2 as well.

Darksiders was indeed heavily inspired by Zelda and is likely one of the big reasons that it's being so hyped on the Wii U.

As for Batman, I stopped at 95% too.

Ok now I'm starting to see some Zelda references. The collectibles, expandable life bar (skulls instead of hearts), and map are all taken from Zelda. But the game still seems mainly inspired by God of War, in terms of combat mechanics.

Yeah it's a bit of a mix of the two games. And yes, there is an overworld.

You know what ruins RE5? Sheva.
feel free to try that again when you can drop the profanity entirely — TBD

Chris is the size of tank. That's why this game controls like one.

I'm okay. I only pulled a muscle and punched my dry wall. I'm okay.

Co-op with an AI partner is never a good idea, unless it's a simple game like a platformer.
