Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Shit be whack.
I'm all over the sequal. Please don't fuck it up with multiplayer tho.
You could level your weapon? I just hit things and they died.

I figured we'd pick up at the end of the first game, and just play as different horsemen for different parts of the game.
That could have been them heading towards War from wherever they were? Doesn't necessarily mean they were sleeping the entire time.
MGS3 proved that you can move the story forward while going back in time.
It seems pretty obvious to me what is going to happen. We'll either be in that post-apocalyptic world running a parallel course to war but in different paces and with different enemies or we'll be dealing with the world as it becomes a ruin and dealing with different enemies.
Considering the name of the game here is deception, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to have all the Horsemen deceived and have to go through all their own quests to break free of the Charred Council or find the truth or restore their powers or whatever. It wouldn't even be a stretch to have the three other Horsemen fighting to get War released so they can all properly be called forth.
My bet is that we'll get something dealing all three other Horsemen in one game, though. The ones that are left are Death/Pestilence, Conquest, and Famine. It would probably make a nice trilogy a lot easier ot pull off by grouping the three of them together, ending the second game with them reuniting with War, and then continuing the third game from there with all four Horsemen.
Didn't they replace Famine with the incredibly lame Strife? Mainly because they couldn't figure out a way to make a Famine character with big tits?
Yeah, in Darksiders the four horsemen are War, Death, Strife and Fury. At least if you go by the names of the legendary slot items.
Although to be honest, Famine could work just fine as a character which relies on draining attacks against enemies rather than smashing them to death with a gigantic sword. Instead of things like impaling them and tearing off their head, you could instead drain them down to nothing and turn them to ash and stuff like that.
Conquest and Strife aren't horsemen at all, mythologically speaking. It's War, Pestilence, Famine and Death.
It's all a matter of the source material and interpretations. Those are the popularized modern names of the Four Horsemen, but not necessarily the most accurate ones. But like I said, the source material is being used more for inspiration than as a direct source of info so I don't really care.
Doesn't seem that hard to write a way around that. After the intro of the first game, War had been "dead" for what, two hundred years? A long time, anyway. Plenty of time for the other Horsemen to do all sorts of things to get War back, then end up sealed away together only to be broken free at the same time thanks to War. Hell, they could even have sealed themselves away in order to make sure all the proper rules were being followed so they could be at full strength when War came around. The Horsemen seem to be the only ones who actually worry about the rules anyway so it would make sense.
Here's how it could easily play out within the confines of the story already in place: War was called forth out of turn and without his brothers, but the other Horsemen were still also freed in a weakened state. Unlike War, they didn't get sent to Earth and so didn't end up getting trashed and out of the game for a century or two. In the meantime, they keep a low profile figuring out what is going on, then move to get War back on the field and rebuild their strength. Once they put those events in motion, they willingly seal themselves away again, now back at full strength, so that everything is in order and they can't get screwed over again when War calls them back out. Considering War does all his business in a matter of days (presumably), a century or two of war and chaos on Earth provides a lot of wiggle room for the other Horsemen.

In any case, that's what it seemed the game was trying to imply. I was wondering if they would bust out a Lucifer as well.
That's the only boss I didn't figure out the strat for.
I just hit her with melee whenever I could then glaived/gunned at range and she eventually fell down.
I never got that replacement, it's not like famine/starvation and ridicu-tits are mutually exclusive over the last few decades, in fact, they often go hand in hand.
I've tried to watch other videos on YouTube and read FAQs but I still can't figure it out. So I made this video so you can see exactly where I am. Someone please tell me what to do.
Also, how much longer is this game?
Also also, I realize making this video and posting it is very nerdy. But I'm okay with that.

Go ahead and skip to 6:35.

Honestly Famine would've been a cooler concept...I mean, strife, war, and conquest are like fighting, fighting, and winning at fights. Maybe she could've been based around a weapon that deprived her enemies of the ability to attack, move, and finally live. Would've been pretty boss instead of a fairly plain gun.
And since it was $20 at Wal-Mart, earlier I picked it up on the 360
And I am going to go through it again starting right now because it rules

I thought it was those four too so I looked up the Wikipedia article:

Specifically:
So there you go. In any case everyone knows Pestilence hung up his boots after penicillin was invented and was replaced by Pollution.
... hrm.

However, I can't use it. At all. Hitting tab (PC version) just flashes the icon, but nothing else happens. Bwuh?
edit: ooooh, it's on RMB.
Actually, according to this dude's blog who works at Vigil, the chick is Fury and replaces Pestilence, and the gun dude is Strife and replaces Famine. At least, that's how the concept art is labeled.
But yeah, I agree that keeping Famine and Pestilence would be a lot cooler if they actually designed something around them. Or maybe they're going just with the steps of conflict, because it's basically Get Angry(Fury), then Start Fighting(Strife), then full out War, and finally Death.
Anyway, I'm somewhat resurrecting this thread because I'm finally playing this game after owning it for months and wish I had voted for it in mcc's poll because it's pretty much really fun

I didn't see it advertised much and it came out after Christmas being the studio's first game, but the quality really shone through.
I thought Samael was actually Tim Curry.
In a disguise.
Yeah.

Ulthane: "Does it look like I fear death m'boy?"
War: "It's not 'Death' you should fear."
And Ulthane calling the angels 'pigeons' is hilarious

The gameplay is pretty fun though
So he got Azrael and Ulthane together and forged the Armageddon Blade and smashed all the seals but the Seventh, the final one that would unleash the Four Horsemen. That way it drew Hell out to Earth, making it look like he was right in the first place so he could destroy their forces for good, but didn't involve the Apocalypse.
But then he failed and Straga killed him, and a woman's voice turned him into the Destroyer which is a fire dragon. Also the Charred Council sent War out anyway because they don't like him, and they wanted him to kill everything because the Charred Council doesn't really want balance, but to control the universe instead?
And I thought you were going after the Destroyer from the beginning, before Abaddon was killed and turned into the Destroyer?
Can anyone help me out here?

Other than that just go with what you fancy.

But yeah I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I figured out how to do non canned air combos with a decent amount of variety and the general powers have a nice feel. I also liked the dash after I figured out how to "zig zag" dodge to cancel your recovery so you never stop moving.
I would like next game for them to learn what invulnerability frames are though. That sure would be nice. They should send someone over to capcom and ask about them. It'd be an eye opener for the combat designer I feel.
(for example, some possible answers: isnt chaoseater better with stuff like homerun swing/dash - scythe not good enough unless you get combo's for it first, you need to level up chaoseater anyways so you might as well wait with the scythe etc)
