Darksiders 3 - Furiously Average

Darksiders 2 was by far the best in the franchise... It really feels like this should have been the 2nd game or even the 1st. The amount of content in the 2nd game is way more than either of the others.

Before I watch this, are there any major spoilers from the story of the game? I'm currently at the Scar section of the game hunting Wrath.

The saddest part about this game is that remnant from the ashes came out right after it, and was actually a great game, from a smaller development team.... maybe those guys should have been working on DS3....

I love your Darksiders videos,but Fury and story in this game are lowest point. Engame acting and storytelling are like Spanish soup opera.

Fuck this shit game. You're too kind to this trash game.

Oh so it's like Dark Souls 2

I personally like 2 the best 3 just didn't click with me. Pluse deaths voice actor was just god tear

"Darksiders 3 packs more intelligent writing into its overall simple narrative. "

Did... Did we play the same game?

You said you'd follow this series wherever it goes next but you didn't make a video on Darksiders Genesis.

Darksiders 3 is shit

This game and genesis weren't afraid to derail the story to expiriment with new gameplay. Even if the story doesn't progress much, this game started out as more of an expiriment.

And fury was supposed to be the sorceress of the horsemen, instead she's just a worse and weaker fighter with some boring magic...

the game does reward you for exploring, some of the best enchantments arent sold buy vulgrim they are scattered across the world my personal fav was the shade enchantment that gives you +35% arc bonus dmg also vulgrim sell a finite amount of upgradable materials and you can not upgrade your stuff with the stack he has for sale and without exploring. Also the oblivion ore which you use for upgrading your armor(you can only upgrade your armor on ng+) cant be bought from vulgrim till ng+3 you have to explore and find those red eye monster that drop it. Hell the game has 9tiers of ng+, with every consecutive playthrough you find better materials for upgrading your gear, I am currently at ng+2. It seems to me that you only played the game once and you dont really know what you are talking about.
The game has souls for currency and we compare it to darksouls .. :D well darksiders 1 has souls for currency as well

Darksiders is like the Gorillaz of gaming. Never consistently sticking with a particular genre

It was mostly undercooked and flawed but I'm glad I played it for the mechanics around the watery navigation. Those were cool.

The story confused me, even at the end. Some twists felt too abrupt. The puzzles were cool for the most part but that one tempest puzzle with a corridor and a block was infuriating. Nothing of value would've been lost if they just cut it out. Yup, sorely needed a tally list or a map, too.

Nice review, I agree for the most part.

Gotta disagree with the weapon part. They aren't linear upgrades, one after another. Some are faster, some are slower but more damaging, one has a ranged counter that the others lack, one makes shielded and armored enemies easier than the rest while having more stun power, too, and so on. There's some variety. They can also have different on-hit effects.

Enemies not showing their HP unless you lock onto them sucks though.

This man put in no midrolls. Respect, but also worry for you financially

A great review, with key points well-explained as well providing an opinion on how those key points could have been improved. Really enjoying all the retrospective.
Awaiting the one for Genesis, any plans to review/retrospect that one?

I loved Darksiders 3. I've played all 3 games and each of them had problems(balance issues, unfairly hard bosses, poorly designed levels, etc), but Darksiders 3 is almost completely devoid of those problems. Where in Darksiders and Darksiders 2 I would get stuck all the time on difficult bosses and convoluted puzzles, in Darksiders 3 the puzzles are challenging but make sense and I can actually solve them without looking up a guide. Not to mention the amazing story, the representations of the seven deadly sins are great and refreshing, the levels are(for the most part) designed well, the game looks beautiful because of modern graphics and the iconic Darksiders art style, the combat is fun and balanced(almost never too hard but still challenging and has depth), and the locations are all beautiful and unique. IMO it's the best game in the series by far.

oh also you made a mistake when you said the hollow weapons don't do elemental damage, they do. The problem is you can almost never use it because you have to charge the attack up.

Darksiders 3 was a bit of a let down. My biggest gripe is the insanely long load screens and constant freezing...the first two games were way better.

Curious to see if you'll do a retrospective of Darksiders Genesis! Great vid!

Darksiders 3 is badass and you are just a LITTLE FVCKING BITCH

Game made me furious... I am Fury

Will you do a Darksiders Genesis video?

Let me preface this by saying I love your channel and I think you give good critiques. That being said, there are multiple points in this video that are just factually wrong: secondary weapons not having elemental effects, the upgrade not mattering statwise, the usefulness of beating the side bosses, the hollows being statistically stronger than the previous ones, etc. Comparing it to DS2, I can see why you would be disappointed, that's the pinnacle of the franchise. But I think you give it way too much shit, specially compared to DS1. There's a line in the review where you say all you need is to spam the whip. I totally disagree with the statement. If you do this in higher difficulties, the game will kick your ass, specially with shielded enemies. So the game actually incentivizes you to constantly be switching your hollows to better deal with the situation: flame for single target DOTs, storm for dealing damage to multiple enemies at the same time, force for cc, and stasis for slows and tankiness.

3 years to late but I want to say that I got to the swamp level and said “fuck no”

Did you play Genesis? Also I heavily recommend Remnant: From The Ashes, from Gunfire games too.

Dark siders genesis RETROSPECTIVE WHEN

I really liked Darksiders 2 but I vastly prefer the third, it just fits my playstyle a lot more, I really like fury's character, the story itself of the third and the combat is my favorite of the trilogy.

Darksiders 3 is different. It does its best to piss me off and certain mechanics, such as the damn force hollow, not working sometimes. It does have its moments and Fury as a character had the best growth in the series in terms of her character.

NGL if you dont like certain fighting mechanics that require timing and forethought thats just a skill issue idc if this video is 4 years old this applies to all games new and old

I love the game. I played all the way through and while i had my issues, i had lots of fun with it. There were alot of fixes with patches too that made it play much better. I'm playing it again after playing 2 (again) and i'm finding myself enjoying it infinitely more. While 2 felt it repeated itself over and over, and felt almost padded ouy with sheer size, 3 felt more tight and contained, with more enjoyable metroidvania dungeons and abilities that i just enjoyed more over the prince of persia esk climbing system. I also LOVE Fury for her personality. She has softness at times, but she is quick to temper much like her brother, War. And she has some solid one-liners.

I was so excited for darksiders 3 to come out. It felt like an eternity to wait for. I had to wait for a while after release due to some financial commitments. When I finally booted it up, I was so jazzed. I got about an hour or 2 in, turned it off and didn't touch it for months. I have tried to play through about 3 more times since then and I just cannot get on with it. The characters are just boring. Fury was just bland as hell. The gameplay was crap. So disappointed in this game.

Did you cover Darksiders Genesis?

Was this improved on the Nintendo Switch release three years later in 2021?

It's 2023 & I have played all 3 on PC, honestly ............

Darksiders Warmastered
Darksiders 3
Darksiders 2 Deathinitive

Darksiders 2 Deathinitive is a horrible just horrible port to PC.

I'm new and I really like all 3 of them, war is my favorite but all 3 games are amazing for their own reasons, im playing them now.

1 was the rough start, but still a start. 2 was almost perfect. 3 is proof that just because something is popular doesn’t mean it will work.

I just replayed it on reckoning

This is both the worst Darksider ever but also one of the worst souls-like over there

As both a Darksiders and Souls I’d never recommend this game to anyone

He's playing on easy no wonder he didn't get a challenge lmfao 🤣

it is still funny the game has taught you to do mid air combat with Envy, but that feature ends there, you wont ever use that combo ever again because there's no way you can do that aside from manually jumping or front perfect evade

Darksiders 3 is my favorite game in the series

As I'm watching your review of Darksiders 3: Dark Souls Edition... I'm curious if you've seen the new teaser trailer for a new Darksiders?

Darksiders 3 was terrible. Its boring, it doesn't feel like a Darksiders game, Fury is not interesting at all, the hame is not fun at all, the dialogue is cringe, the weapons suck etc. Both War and Death were interesting and had very good voice actors. Their stories pulled you in and left you wanting more. Combat was actually fun and evolving. Darksiders 3 was a poor attempt at a Souls/Darksiders game and it failed. Hopefully they dont make that mistake again. They need to act like 3 never existed and pull inspiration from 1 and 2.

Ur average

It's 2024 right now and Darksiders III is my favorite of the series.

Always loved that part where she gets pissed over the fact the illusions of her brothers were bowing to her which shows shes cares for them

Because Darksiders 3's reception has been all over the place, I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks of the game. Feel free to comment how you felt about it!
