January 5th in video games: Darksiders vs. Bayonetta

[AndrewDiFeo]

2 hours into Darksiders and I am thoroughly enjoying it on the PS3. Cool armegeddon story line, lots of weapons/upgrades. So far combat has been button mashing but it looks like there are a lot of new moves/combos you can buy throughout the game. Graphics are world of warcraftish and very good.

At first glance (I only played the first two levels) of Bayonetta, it's very over-the-top sex appeal and waste-my-time-with-pointless-story cut scenes that go on for too long. Give me less animated girly show off scenes and more gameplay, please.

That said, I'm going to give it a shot because my friend highly recommends it and play through it. I'm wondering how Darksiders compares to Ninja Gaiden 2 - they sound more similar than Bayonetta.

I hear a lot of people comparing Bayonetta to Devil May Cry, and Darksiders is basically a God of War clone (but a good one!)

Ugh that's unfortunate - I would never buy Devil May Cry. Nothing -wrong- with the game, it's just not perpetually challenging enough to make me want to own it.

Need to finish Borderlands before I get a new game.....otherwise I never will.....or will end up starting over.

I'm looking forward to the new Bordlerlands DLC coming, a Mad Max Thunderdome theme. I'm glad to see them supporting Borderlands as quickly as they are!

Darksiders is closer to Zelda. You have an overworld, dungeons, and accessories that open paths to different areas and solve mediocre puzzles inside dungeons. accessories found and techniques learned in a dungeon are the key to defeating that dungeon's boss .
