Thought that was pretty awesome.

When he began the phrase I saw it coming, but it's still really good. Cool trailer. Want to see gameplay to see how they can improve the game, and not just remake the previous.

Nice also with the purple 2 I'm guessing Death rolls with the Saints!

Darksiders was some of the best Zelda I've played in awhile.

I like the show 'supernatural's approach to death, pestilence, war and phamon (or however it's spelled) but this seems like a cool theme

So hyped for this, S ranked the first Darksiders I enjoyed it so much and everything about the sequel seems awesome from a new protagonist to extended rpg mechanics to the vastly improved faster combat. Going to be so good.

Darksiders was rough around the edges but overall pretty fun, definitely looking forward to this.

Would 've made a lot more sense though if it was Darksiders IV and Death was the last rider to play as.

I hope they make a shitton of money and continue to make games, because they want to do a 4-player co-op with this franchise and that would be totally crazy and hopefully a lot of fun.

Mmmmmmm. Memories of Gekido.

I only kind of liked Darksiders, but the "oh snap!" ending is making me want this one.

Somehow this both seems and doesn't seem like a joke at the same time. I'm confused.

"What begins with War, Ends with Death" is one hell of a catch-phrase. Pretty slick, Vigil!

His face looked like Shao Kahn. I didn't really like the first Darksiders and never finished it, but I've been thinking I should give it another try.

This reminds me of the ending in Darksiders 1 again.

Not going to spoil it, but it is the epitome of badass.

Now bring it on, I have to juggle a couple of demons.

I was thinking the same thing:

It might just be me, but does anyone else get excited by, or even just vaguely interested by trailers then when they end with "Pre-order Now" lose the mood and think, fuck you, you parade of business fucks (or because it's you, something more suave and witty)? Not that any excitement for the game itself is diminished. It's just that the whole pre-order culture feels.. dirty to me. I'll buy it when it's out!

This, this and this.

Just had to go and watch the ending on youtube again to get all of that awesome out of my system.

@Zyte: Yeah it's great. It manages to rip off so many popular game and still feels like a fresh experience.

@TEHMAXXORZ: I think that correct but in the Darksiders world the four are War, Death, Fury and Strife(Better video game character names). I hope that means 4 games. Can''t wait for this one. Might have to be a rare day one purchase for me.

I can't recall any rough edges. The game ran fine, played fine and mixed a lot of different ideas together very well. Nothing rough about that.

Darksiders is probably one of my favourite games of the last couple years.

Mega-hyped for this.

I'm excited for this. Weird thing is if they make another 2. How is Fury or Strife ( Pestilence?) going to top Death? Death kind of seams like the end to all things. We'll see I'm excited. Darksiders was such a breath of fresh air to play.
