    i tend to really enjoy games that are compared to Zelda- sometimes (in the case of Okami) even more than Zelda... ;)

    i'll be watching this one. #darksiders

    @laser beams: I was in love with Okami, until the part where it didn't end, then I sort of trudged through the last part. Still liked it, but felt like it was artificially extended. Damn I need to make time for another playthrough of that game. #darksiders

    @mabadaba: i think i know what you mean- storywise at least
    *spoilers*
    it seemed weird to fight that legendary demon- and then have the story continue on for an additional 15 hours or so- but i think that was a weird case of unfortunate story pacing- because the game did build and progress in a good way (gameplay-wise) until the very end.

    i still contend that aside from the unusual story (at least from an American perspective) Okami is the best Zelda game since Ocarina of Time :) #darksiders

    @laser beams: Yeah, I'm not trying to say I didn't enjoy playing it once it got a little 'weird', but it definitely felt like it should have ended storywise already. The ummm,

    *spoilers*

    spaceish related business with the story felt off to me, like they were trying to explain something away that I preferred to remain mystical. It was a weird choice and made the additional length of the game feel a little artificial, but I still enjoyed the gameplay. Definitely better than the other wolf Zelda. #darksiders

    This looks really interesting. Too bad it seems so short, but as long as it's fun, that should be fine. And meh, I don't need a demo. #darksiders

    @ShaughnTr0n: Depends on the genre, true. I've put 100s of hours each in about 5 or 6 different RTS games, Civ 1-4, the whole Total War series (except Medieval.. wasn't a big fan), etc.

    To only play one game for 15-20 hours (not really a completionist) seems a bit short. Don't get me wrong, some short games are awesome (e.g. Bioshock, KOTOR, etc), and I will definitely check this game out. #darksiders

    I'm still still not sure about this game(dragon age origins too) but it does sounds great.

    Good:
    1)No leveling up(one of the reason why i love MH.)
    2)Decent length.
    3)There are no quick time events.(can i get an amen)
    4)A good helping of puzzles and bloody battles is ALWAYS good.
    5)Huge landscape is really good(i dare you to find something wrong about that)

    Bad:
    1)NO DEMO ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
    2)Post-apocalyptic environment(i'm not a fan of them)
    3)What's the damn point of the hood if you're going to be showing your pigs tails to the world? #darksiders

    Sounds better than what I have read about thus far. I played it at PAX and was sold, even if the game turns out to be a 7, it seems like it will be a nice romp. Not sure why there is no demo coming. #darksiders

    i don't know if the designs choices attract me. the big hulking men with giant sword look is outdated. i hope i can look pass the graphics and find an enjoyable and solid gameplay experience but it will be hard. i'll ultimately wait until the review is released before i make my choice. #darksiders

    @OmegaSpartan08: To me, this game looks like Zelda-like gameplay mixed with WoWarcraft art. Before I read this article, I completely wrote the game off as a game to be ignored considering Bayonetta, GoW3, and Dante's Inferno. I guess I'll keep my options open and see what reviews say. #darksiders

    This game really needs a demo. MW2 can get away with no demo, but a new franchise trying to get $60 out of my wallet better offer me a demo. #darksiders

    Hmm, the trailers didn't instill much confidence in me, but this preview does, quite a lot, much more interested now.
    But where are the other three horsemen?

    Slightly offtopic: Why did Joe Madureira not finish his comic? #darksiders

    Way to make me nostalgic for the early part of the decade! There was a time when the only things on my mind were snow days, slurpees, and Cliffhanger comic books. #darksiders
