This is just from me reading people's impressions, but it seems to me like fans of DS1 tend to like this a bit more than fans of DS2, even if they still put it below DS1.

Darksiders III - Review Thread
- Thread starter NeoRaider
- Start date
Meh. About what I expected given the footage. Personally my only issue with it is its price. Once it's around the £25 mark, I'll pick it up.
Finished it for review tonight. It's dark souls meets Zelda. Bosses are fun. Games not Dark Souls difficult. Little bit of Metroid splashed in there with new moves giving you new ways to explore and secret bosses and areas. Really enjoyed it. This is one of those games that falls between indie status and AAA game. We need more games of this quality.
There's defintely swimming.
Cool, I didn't get that far yet.
Nah they didn't. They should have gone straight into the ending of 1 like every Darksiders fan wanted them to. They chose the format after DS1 was finished.
Darksiders 2 while decent was certainly a disappointment to me and many others for this reason (not) alone.
Yeah that's what I meant to say. I mean a game for EACH of the four horsemen? And on top of that they have to do a fifth and final one! That's a tall order for a new studio, especially for a series with more than a modest budget. They essentially Kojima'd themselves.
That's a pretty huge scale.
Wouldn't it be accurate to call it mid-tier? The tier that became all but extinct last gen.
Seems more like an issue of reviewers not giving Fallout 76 the scores it actually deserves
The generally accepted term is AA. It's not really extinct, either. It's just primarily supported by smaller European publishers like Focus and Nordic, whereas the big AAA publishers have long since abandoned it.
yeah,but still lower difference than this one LOL
I haven't played this game yet,but it seems that if games don't have the AAA coating these days,reviewers forgive nothing to them. For example RDR2 is a good game,but they treated it like the second coming of christ
OP
OP
This review made no sense, this person speaks about how he likes the game but it seems the only issue is the camera in which he then gives the game a 62 lol, seemed so random.
Just like Lords of the Fallen? Copying something doesn't make the copy good.
exactly. combat is nothing like souls. What is souls like is the interconnected world, the way you upgrade weapons, currency for leveling, punishing but fair difficulty.
Thats because its not bad at all. Please support the developers here. They really did well with the small budget they were given.
Reviewers are getting more and more unreliable as the time goes on.
Fallout 76: "Hated every minute of it" => 6/10
Darksiders 3:"Very good game but some technical and camera issues" => 6/10
If you don't pay for marketing,nothing is forgiven
Gonna buy the PC version of the game later today, if anything because I love Darksiders and want to support the dev and see the conclusion of the saga.
Don't really have time to play right now anyway and have a huge backlog, so by the time I get around to it, hopefully all bugs and perf issues are gonna be ironed out.
Don't fail me THQ and Gunfire games. The number of the riders shall ever be four.

I read some of the reviews and it reads like it is just a little bit worse than the previous ones which I get sucks, but the studio went through some shit so even getting 3 was a good thing. I have no basis since I have yet to play it but this all feels like a complaint because the game is not trying to be the "next best thing". I think it is ok to be just mid tier and lower scores for it are ok too. Seems like a solid 7-8 game.
It seems like we forgot those kinds of titles were a thing and unless it is AAA or indie there is no middle ground anymore.
So does it feel like the AA or B tier games we got a lot of in the past gens? The Saboteurs, the REd FAction Guerrillas?

It's encouraging to hear people saying it's good and the reviews are off. Definitely want to play this at some point. Loved DS1, DS2 was just ok... hoping to love this one!
How do you support the devs most?
On Steam they have to give 30% to Valve i think?
So physical copy i guess?
Or isnt that how it works?

Wow its literally unplayable for me. Laptop nice spec (1060 graphics, 16 GB RAM) with 1080 screen. The game only displays 2/3 of the screen, as if its rendering say 1440p but instead of scaling down to 1080, I just see the portion unscaled (ie the rest of image is unseen, outside the edges of my screen)
Incredible, I mean its just 1920x1080 surely one of the most common resolutions that people play in
Beyond disgusted at this. Bought cheap from a key store so I cant get a steam refund.

Today I've played a little more and defeated 2 more bosses. I'm liking the game, the boss design is kind of weak (they're not tightly designed as Souls bosses or use puzzle elements like Zelda bosses), but the moment-to-moment gameplay is good. I enjoy far more this kind of games that most AAA games that are more focused on the presentation than on being fun.
Let's see how the game evolves, I'm only 5 hours in.

They will get more money if you buy digital from stores.
Physical copy cut is more than 30%, digital is 30%.
Haven't beat it yet but so far it's been a blast! I'm probably 5 hours into it I suppose
Well there's your first mistake.
Anyway, probably something in the scaling not working right. Perhaps try going into the Nvidia Control Panel and find the page where it lets you change whether stuff scales on your display or GPU. The latter setting is probably your ticket but see what works for you. And scale to aspect ratio should probably be enabled too.
This also happened to me. Changing the display mode to windowed then to fullscreen fixed the resolution problem for me.
I've never regretted a key store purchase before I've bought probably 20+ full price or near full price games, and many more fire sale and saved probably $500+ dollars over the years
First time its been an issue
Ah thanks greatly that worked. I thought I tried that but only changed option without backing out. Had to change windowed then back out of menu, then go back to full screen and that worked.
Thanks a ton. Strange how this missed QA, or more likely they had to rush game out for holiday.
I actually like the feel of combat of this. Timed dodges feel like bayonetta.
I was really thinking this game was going to disappoint after some of the reviews, but man--this game is surprising me. On PC it's a pretty game too. They don't make enough games like this anymore. Even though it's not some big open world (which is ironically a blessing after this year) the exploration is great and the things they hide and cram into an area excites me each time I stumble upon a hidden nook. It really is a rewarding title.
I don't like Fury and haven't since they revealed her design, but I'm glad I decided to give it a go. I didn't realize how much I missed these types of more focused games until I started plowing through it. I didn't think THQ could do it--and really didn't want them to even try since I loved the first 2 games--but they did a pretty damn good job with this one.

Thq nordic are the publisher
The developer are gunfire games.
Played it, reviewed it. Bottom line is that with all the bugs and badly executed combat its a fairly decent game - but only from a binge sale.
Gave it 2/5
Gave it 2/5
I'm almost done with the story, 1 boss left and I give it same score. It's really disappointing. DS2 will probably stay the best in the franchise for long time
