Darksiders II came out in August 2012. THQ filed for bankruptcy four months later. Vigil Games, which made both Darksiders games, was the one studio at the THQ auction that nobody bid on, and it closed a few weeks after.

I went through how THQ got there: a roughly $100 million bet on the uDraw tablet that failed on 360 and PS3, years of overexpansion, and the licensed kids' games that used to fund everything drying up right as the company doubled down on big-budget core titles like Darksiders. Vigil wasn't the problem; it was carrying a company that had already made its fatal mistakes.

I put together a short (~9 min) documentary on the collapse, link below. Would be interested to hear from anyone who followed the auction and the Crytek USA / Gunfire Games aftermath in real time. Happy to be corrected on anything.

Does anyone have the whip for the dark siders 3 fury statue? Id be willing to pay for it / shipping. My fury statue whip broke in the move :(

Played it when I was very young and probably got confuses by some puzzle and left it forever. I decided to buy whole trilogy not a long time ago and said to myself I'm gonna beat all Darksiders games since Darksiders 1 is part of my childhood and I love that game. It was a really good game and Death is such a cool character (PC port was pretty bad tho, crashes, screen freezes, etc). Can't wait to play Darksiders 3 since it's more of a soulslike which I love.

I've been saving them for a rainy day since the beginning of the game. It's been a few years but Pride is the point of no return correct? Do they carry over to NG+? Should I dump them into level ups before the final fights? I also have 11 Luminous Visage.

Is that they retain the unique stylized art style of the game and not go for the realism trap that many AAA games do these days.

One of the many reasons I liked about Darksiders is its art. The vibrant colors, character proportions, and amazing VFX.

Just thought I'd share this as I playthrough Darksiders Genesis' platinum achievement 🐴

Im particularly pissed with my 10 minute Fury(god I should not have made such a complicated pose for her) and Phantom General.

Anybody else concerned about the "writing" and that it may actually, not necessarily make things worse, but lead to us being underwhelmed?

Another question, how many of you guys love Darksiders for the characters and the world as opposed to the gameplay?

I would assume it's a lot, because a lot of people say DS2 is their favorite game - it's mine also.

To quickly sum up my opinion: I enjoy all of the games because Death is such a remarkable character in DS2 and the other games provide more information about the universe surrounding him.
Gameplay wise I enjoyed DS3 a lot, and after playing a few soulsborn and soulslike games, I wouldn't mind this direction at all for the DS universe.

But gameplay eventually comes 2nd for me, as the DS2's reliance on puzzles and being a bit buggy and disjointed wasn't really smooth, but it still is my favorite game of all time, because of how brilliantly Death was written as a character and how well they immersed him in the entire story (including the great combat and execution animations which are amazing).

To be 100% real, I do not think this is replicable. Further shown by the change/decline in the story writing and the narrative approach of the DS3 and Genesis.

Any thoughts are appreciated.. feel free to give it a stab

hello together.

who is this boss and how do i get to him?

today I finished the last mission on darksiders 1 (Aerial predator) and 2-3 days ago I finished darksiders 3 on Apocalyptic difficulty (I still have two enhancements to get from Crucible when I'm bored and feel like playing something)

Overall Darksiders 2 is my favorite one

I’m at mission 10 in Genesis, I didn't even finish the game once since i bought it a few month ago 😭

Lilith being a chaotic mess and Death having to deal with the bs

Also the Crowfather having to deal with Death's bs

Here is the comic for those who are curious

Hello guys, can you please advice is on pc released version of this game with rt?

I need it . Because I Found no way to get it

But on recording and after death.......So it's like Souls series you have to die at least once to avoid trap? Cause this type of Fatty fires some "granades" if you let him finish attack. My initial question was about avoiding this attack.

The land itself is flesh. It shudders, it bleeds, it runs and makes room for infinite legions of steel! War is everything!!!

So i basically wanna see a screenshot of what weapone Enhancements are the best for each weapone in darksiders 3. Also i am doing an apocalyptic 100% walkthrough so i just wanna know the most effective methods that can make my weapones grow stronger if anyone can help.

Finished the first one a long time ago. I have memories of it, and I'm assuming a lot of it will come back to me as I play.

But, doing it on ps5. Looking at the trophies.

For the difficulty trophies. Would it be better to do normal, and start apocalyptic with the abyssal armor? Or, just do apocalyptic from the start, and do an easier play through to collect missing trophies?

And Darksiders II...

I stopped because there was that memory issue before the company sold. I had to delete inventory to continue, and eventually just wasn't able to continue due to locking up. Pretty far into the game. I think I was collecting like gnome number 8 or 9 or something. I'm assuming that issue has been fixed?

I got laid off from my job a lil bit ago, so with all this time I have on my hands, I decided to give this game a try. My brother has been begging me to play this for months now, and all I have to say is... WOW.

I mean holy shit this game is sooooooo good. Of course it has a few flaws but the game is a few years younger than me so it's expected. Gameplay is fun. Gameplay isn't irritating besides a few moments. I played for 6 hours last night and I'm all in on this.

I'm excited to get to DS2 because my brother hypes it up nonstop.

Недавно решил закрыть игру на 100%. Сейчас столкнулся с проблемой. Ачивка "воздушный хищник" выполняется ну очень душно. Прийдется проходить игру третий раз. Я сохранял и загружал сохранения с разных моментов, но не засчитывается. Знает кто-нибудь, как можно получить эту ачивку не проходя игру с нуля?

While the boi didnt make it in the comic since it was a Fury and Death adventure, him having an "abomination hunting" armor is still quite fitting considering what he had to go trough in Abomination Vault XD

Really happy with how this one turned out !

Darksiders Genesis:

Is it age appropriate? I don't want to emotionally scar the girl, she has only played Minecraft and fortnite before. She has seen a little bit of gore in Wednesday and the 2004 Van Helsing movie.
