8.1 is a great score, but i expected better.

DaveMan4502d ago

whats wrong with a 8.1/10?

GraySnake4502d ago

OXM gave it a 9/10 if that makes you feel better.

"8.1 is a great score, but i expected better"

What..like an 8.2 lol? I loved the demo..so I'm getting it personally.

belal4502d ago

lol i thought this was going to be a AAA game. Still i don't judge a game based on one review, need to see what the average score is going to be and i tried the demo, it was fun but not mindblowing.

MGRogue20174502d ago (Edited 4502d ago )

I heard from a person on YouTube that the game's single-player is really short... like, 4-6 hours at most.

GraySnake4502d ago

isn't that the norm with most FPS SP campaigns?

LOGICWINS4502d ago

I heard that The Darkness 2 had co-op multiplayer. Is this still happening?

GraySnake4502d ago

yea but reports are the co-op campaign is only two hours...

LOGICWINS4501d ago

Just 2hrs? WOW..that sucks.

byeGollum4502d ago

I don't need a review to purchase this game :) .. loved the first one. . . will love the second one even more.

if you are looking for lengthy games, there are multiple role playing games out there folk ^^..

This is why I don't buy video games anymore. I have a huge Steam backlog and developers are gracious enough to offer their products for free. Fortnite is free, Darkness is free, lots of good free games. Thanks Humble

masterfox2259d ago

Nice thanks for the heads up.

I had a blast with the 1st one. It was perfect. The 2nd not that much, was pretty forgettable tbh and the cell shading, although beautiful, was not my kind of tea

That said, if they make a 3rd one they should make it a bit closer to the original's...vibe and looks.

kevnb2389d ago

Its not even made by the same team, I hate when publishers do that.

veicht2389d ago

I still enjoyed 2, it still kept some of the neat things from the first one. Having said that, the first is considerably better, I'd rather the 3rd (somehow) end up being made by machine games which seems to be where a fair amount of the darkness/butchers bay devs ended up.

chris2352389d ago

are we talking switch ports again or why is another lastGen game in the headlines?

ctrlxthroat2389d ago

I'm still hoping for a pc rerelease of the original.

Venoxn4g2389d ago

I personally enjoyed this one more than first game (even though I think first one is good too)

The Darkness: A Greek tragedy for the video game age - G4@Syfygames

Matt Ferguson from G4@Syfygames writes "When I think of tragic love stories and star-crossed lovers, I can't recall a more heart-wrenching example than Jackie Estacado and Jenny Romano from The Darkness. What begins as a romantic story between two people from very different worlds ends abruptly in a horrific tragedy, drawing many parallels from the works of Classical Greek tragedians and epic poets."

I agree! That was a great game with well played characters.

Kallisti3024d ago

Still own a copy of both of them. The Darkness III on PS4/PC/XONE would be awesome.
