The Darkness

I love stabbing people with the arm on this game and chucking them over cliffs and stuff on the final battle.

Bleh, that is a waste of good hearts that your tentacles could have eaten!

In one way this game kinda reminds me of The Crow normal guy who's GF gets blown away gets superpowers and goes out for revenge.

My kinda game.

This game totally rocks and imo the best shooter i have played (yes better then GOW).

Agreed, it has a great story and very good game mechanics.

Took me over 15 hours on my first play through that was doing all the side quests and collecting as much as i could and just exploring the world.

Sounds to me like you ploughed through the main story and said 'i beat the game'

Which is ok because today i ran through it a second time and completed it in around 9 hours because i still had some things i didn't do first time round.

I have seen lots of posts on forums saying its a short game and people finished it in 7 hours straight i think these people haven't even bothered their fat lazy arses to explore the game and find the hidden items.

These games last as long as you want them to last if you wanna blaze through it and finish it the day you get it then i pity.

Not really.

It's just that i didn't die much. I did as many side quests as I could find.

Sounds like you need to cool the jets.

friggin awesome game, got it today and its sucked me straight.

astounding visuals

great gameplay

ive just spent 10 minutes sat on the sofa of jennys flat just watching a movie with her (wanted to see if it was just looped footage) and the more time you spend sat with her you get different reactions. and it looks like the full movie as well.

stunning, best game of any genre ive played in a loooong time

This or Overlord?

and no Aada, im not buying both (I know you love every damn game )

 

[Xtro]

You can complete this in a day or two (damn good game that it is though), so if you aren't fussed about MP I would get this, complete it and trade it for Overlord which is what I did.

Might do this on monday when I get back from the motherland.

The MP is hideous.

Played the demo on the weekend, I have to buy this game, its so fun, just love running up to people and shooting people close up to see what animation comes up.

PS3 version looks shit compared to 360 and aiming isn't as sharp. Same goes with pretty much every game atm though - even the 360 launch games looks way better than current PS3 games :S

Whoah where did you get that impression from? The PS3/360 version are pretty much the same, PS3 has deeper colours but 360 is a bit sharper.

Video Comparison.

Tested it by myself with demos of various games. If someone has The Darkness for PS3 I would really like to see pictures - demo looks like shit.

Fairly sure its not because of demo since Resistance has exactly the same problems/faults in graphics - I even dare to say that Resistance is ugly and same goes for The Darkness :S

 

[ST^]

He got that impression from being a fanboy fucktard no doubt. Resistance UGLY? lol. This kid is desperate.

 

[ST^]

btw, the final game is way different to the demo.

My brain is overloaded with irony.

Right This "kid" happens to buy all the toys because fanboy'ism is fucking idiotic and exclusive games are usually what makes the consoles worth the price. Resistance is indeed ugly as hell compared to 360 titles such as GRAW/CoD3 not to mention GeoW :S

btw, the final game is way different to the demo.

Good to know! I'll take a picture later tonight of demo - are you able to take one too so we can compare? I'll take one first because of limited levels in demo so we can take it from the same place? I'm really curious to see have they been able to improve the graphics as much as you claim they have.

I'm not the only one who thinks Resistance looks like shit btw, all my friends have came up with same impression after we have compared it to 360 games - it looks ok'ish if you dont have better stuff to compare it with.

You are in a dream world that would be like saying GOW has shit graphics.
I did not like the controls of the darkness but you have never played Resistance if you think they are the same. Resistance conrols are alot smoother and the game is relly easy to play one of the things my mates with 360s liked about it as well as good smooth graphics.

What game you comparing it to is it a release game or GOW?

Interesting review of the demo.

Never compared The Darkness and Resistance controls - I compared 360 and PS3 controls in general with the current games.

Since you said...

... why would it matter? Anyway, I said...

... Would be unfair to compare it to GeoW and GRAW/CoD3 has similar enough world to Resistance. Look at the edges of shadows/weapons/whatever in Resistance/The Darkness (demo), easiest way to see how fucked up the coding has been.

This is going too much OT so I'll just take couple of pictures if I can be arsed so everyone can judge this stuff themselves. I done the testing with The Darkness to figure out which version to get - I try to avoid getting more games for 360 since it may blow up any day now and I've no warranty in it but if 360 is seriously that much better I would hate to buy "ghetto-version" :S

This is going too much OT

QFT

I had a ZX81 and it ran Fantasy Island just as well as my mate's Oric.

Geeee let me think i guess you could say its part of the story or the loading scenes are just to help to get a feel for the character?

hm yeah that about covers it.

 

[Opt1]

I see Yaka's point - when you start seeing the same loading videos for the third time, its pretty irritating. The story-based ones are fine, as are the others for the first time.

It's nice that they tried to make the loading more interesting, but after a while it loses that and becomes frustrating, because you can't skip it to get the loading bar, and like it or not you can remember him word for word when you stop playing..

Least that's me

I started enjoying the game a lot more when I ignored the side missions and stuck to the main story - they are just a case of "Go here, kill gang, then go here, kill gang, then here, then here, then here" or "Please pick something random and pointless off the train tracks for this random and pointless person".

Was a fun game, but I wish they'd focused more on the gameplay/action and the linear storyline and forgot the exploration side and side missions a bit more.. if they had I think they could have made all the storyline and action as awesome as some parts of the game were, as others got a bit repetitive and uninteresting.

But that's me

Looking forward to playing Bioshock through so long as I'm confident it won't scare me sh*tless or send me crazy..

 

[~Latency~]

finally got this to play till i trade it for bioshock friday ; ) demo wasnt very good, but actually really enjoying the game, tho i agree heart munching/some of it is repetative..

Lol that is just genius
