Unfortunately this game has the look of a low to mid 70's OC score all over it. I desperately want it to hit somewhere like the mid 80's but my rational side is just not seeing that happening. As a big fan of DS1 and 2 I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong.

I want to know if the game is good or bad
Not interested on what they think regarding the prices.
It's not up to them to judge that

I could see it being divisive in the sense that some will want more of a DS1 experience out of it while others will want a DS2 experience. Although, it sounds like this one is doing it's own thing (again), so who knows how people will react to that.
Do we have any confirmation that the game is structured like the first one? Seriously, of all the stuff they have shown about this game (which isn't a lot, from what I can recall), I still have no fucking clue as to what it is.
For me to buy this game, it needs to be just like the first one. Basically, a classic Zelda game.

It's more like the first game
And they said on Discord they don't want to show all the goodies and spoil the fun of discovering new things and places

I'm not really interested in the scores, just hope I like it. Sucks that the reviews are so close to the release date, though.
Lol. I can absolutely see that! This game probably isn't going to be a critical darling but I fully expect it to be a blast for those that are interested.
Hoping for the best. Have it preordered and will go through with the purchase as long as it's at least decent, really want to support this game
They'll also probably form the biggest marketing boost the game will have, so from the publisher's perspective, I understand why they keep the embargo up until the day before launch, so the time between reading reviews and the possibility to purchase the actual game is as small as possible.
But yeah, I understand why you feel that way.
Considering the hot topics of micro transactions, season pass, DLC, post launch support, pre-order incentives, "amount of content".....its fair to say the rest of the gaming community cares about value.
And its for anyone to judge. Price is part of everyones opinion. You may value £1 different to someone else, but that doesnt mean you can't try to understand what that person considers good value for their £1.
Looking forward to the reviews!! Hope it does well. Will not buy it day-one tho. Still busy with RDR2 and after that i want to take a break from gaming... if i can manage lol
I'm curious to see the reviews but I already know I want the game.
Bring on Apocalyptic difficulty first run like the first two games.

Looks fun, I'll check it out eventually. Loved 2 but felt it ended abruptly and the gear aspect was weak. 75-80ish meta I'm guessing.
Already preordered it for 40 bucks, really hoping it's gonna be good.
I'm just happy the franchise didn't die.

I hope this doesn't turn into fucking mom of war, have had enough of the 'emotional' bullshit.
Oookay, if its not up to your mantosteron standards... just give it a skip.
Way to feel intimidated by such trivialities as "emotions".
Literally EVERYTHING in a review aside from the hard data like name of game and date of release is subjective.
Price is part of the value equation, and value matters. You're talking about how good the gameplay is, how good the story is...none of that really matters if the game releases at $299. Take a game that's pretty good, not really above the pack in any regard but a solid story and gameplay, release it at $60 and you'll get 'probably worth checking out for fans of [xxxx]' level recommendations. Same game at $30 gets the 'at this price you can't go wrong' recommendation instead.
That's also why people ask about game length so much.

Lenght and replay value are overrated
It is not about how many hours you pour into one game. Doesn't matter if a game lasts 60h if you're not having fun, or if the story and characters are poorly written or if the gameplay is an absolute chore
I'd rather have a good slice of pizza than a bad 20" pizza
As for prices...
Take God of War and RDR 2. RDR 2 is the bigger and longer game by default. Both cost the same. Should God of War cost less than 60$ for being shorter and smaller in scope?
If journey was 60 dollars, does it still win GOTY?
I can't think of any 2 hr game that's 60 bucks reviewing high regardless of quality. Price plays a factor when reviewing games.
THQ allowed me to publish a boss fight as well as my first batch of screenshots running at 4k max settings.
I leave some here, but you can see dozens more and the graphics settings in the link: http://www.pcmrace.com/2018/11/21/n...de-darksiders-3-en-4k-con-detalles-al-maximo/
I already recorded the first hour of gameplay, other boss fights and captured more screenshots showing all forms and enviroments. I will publish them all on the 26.
Edit: Had to set the video on private due to embargo rules.

It looks really good
Are you enjoying the game?
I disagree. I think reviews should absolutely takE price into account. For example, if the new Spider-Man game was priced at £20, clearly that would be a factor.
I have been powering through Darksiders 2 on ps4 lately. I haaave to be at the end I believe. I am at 22 hours so far. The art direction and music makes it one of my favorite games. I am getting Soul Reaver flash backs while playing it. The boss fights are always super creative. The only issue is that its way too long and the level puzzles get to be draining.
I will buy 3 outright to support the devs and hopefully help keep the series going. Not sure I will jump right into it though since I will be burnt out from 2. My only concern are the two selling points are now gone for 3....(Joe Mad and Jesper Kyd).

Any shred of common sense should tell you its not going to be anywhere near 60 let alone lower than that
She has a "horse".

I take it you're playing it on PC (the website URL makes it obvious). Can you say anything about the performance? Have you run into any issues?THQ allowed me to publish a boss fight as well as my first batch of screenshots running at 4k max settings.
