So what basically happens is.. Timeline wise.. this game happens between the scene where you loose to Straga and the scene you ask Council to return to earth in Darksiders 1.....And Darksiders 3 happens between this fight with "shadow" War after you faint and you waking up in Maker's Forge

There’s also an awesome book called Darksiders: The Abomination Vault. It came out around the time of the second game. Highly recommend for anyone who’s interested! From the back: “Ages before the events of Darksiders and Darksiders II, two of the feared Horsemen-Death and War-are tasked with stopping a group of renegades from locating the Abomination Vault: a hoard containing weapons of ultimate power and malice, capable of bringing an end to the uneasy truce between Heaven and Hell…but only by unleashing total destruction. Created in close collaboration with the Darksiders II teams at Vigil and THQ, Darksiders: The Abomination Vault gives an exciting look at the history and world of the Horsemen, shining a new light on the unbreakable bond between War and Death.”

Just so you are not confused, this game is happening during the first time War was imprisoned, so War being chainned is from the prolog of the first game. He hasn't being given a chance to clean up all the mess which is what happens in the first game. Remember that War was chainned up for a century, well this beggining is happening some time in that century.

I'm super glad that you are having such a good time with Darksiders 2 already. Your pleasure is our pleasure, and i hope that the sense of fun will continue through all the way to the end, even if some areas are not as strong as others. Again as said in the past videos, thank you so much for playing these games and wish you a lot of fun for the future. And if it's alright, i'd like to share with you some knowledge and advice (no spoilers) on the game. It ties into what you say about not caring for builds too much, which DS2 does have an interesting element of. But if you'd prefer to discover it for yourself, here goes: -Be sure to check out the combo move list, and buy out Thane's move inventory. Some combos make use of pauses before the next button input in the same sequence. -Charge attacks don't work in "Waiting until fully charged", but instead work with a visual (and i think audio-based, too) indicator with the purple light. When the light is at its most intense, you must release it for extra damage or in some cases, an extra move in the execution. So imagine it goes not yet -- close -- closer -- almost -- GOT IT -- almost -- closer -- close -- not yet. Which means you are to release a charge right in the middle. (that said, you might find this purple indicator in a move here and there that isn't a charge). -There are two types of Secondary weapons, which are each divided in different sub-sets: Such as claws, armblades and bucklers for Light weapons and axes, hammers and maces for Heavy weapons. -Each Subset has a different charge attack, such as Glaives having a long range dash or a downwards thrust when in the air, or Bucklers having the unique property of being the only tool to counterattack with... but that must happen at the exact perfect time, as well. And when hit, immediately released. -Possessed Weapons are a REALLY interesting element that are upgradable for up to five levels and very much customizable. You can feed it your old weapons and gear to clean up your inventory, but if a weapon has special properties that you feed to a Possessed Weapon, such as Lifesteal, Frost Damage or Fire Damge etc. , then at a Possessed Level Up you can select a single new property for your Possessed Weapon... or choose to further up the numbers of an already present property. -It doesn't have to be just weapons to heighten the chance of adding properties to your Possessed Weapon. I think Charms also work well, but i'm not an expert on this crafting front. -If you play your cards right, and make sure that certain properties such as Lifesteal are ingrained in your Possessed Weapon already from Level 1,you can make a *very* powerful personal weapon, equipped with stuff like Execution Chance, aforementioned Lifesteal and Wrath Generation. Sadly it does take away from the novelty of the unique weapons you find, though personally i do find it fun to sometiems challenge myself with weaker unique weapons. -You can rename your Possessed Weapon. If you don't get a Possessed Mace that you're gonna name Smorkie or a set of scythes that you call Ebony and Ivory, you can expect a riot. (I'm not even a DMC fan but the scythe names seem like the right call) As much of a fan of Darksiders as i am, i am no expert in all of this, but if you managed to reach through it all, i hope it helped and was interesting. Have a good one and take care, as well as a cookie when nobody is looking.

Apologies in advance if i come across as a know-it-all, but to my knowledge, War is actually physically the strongest of the Four. It's just that Death is older, wiser and more skilled, hence his position as the leader of the Four. And in the context of the event where Death cut off War's arm, Fury and Strife were there to restrain him and War was more raging and brutish than he is in later ages such as in Darksiders 1. Dude *really* needed to be humbled. That said, i love both voice actors a lot. The voice work on this entire series is really fantastic the way it is.

@@jurtheorc8117 Well... it all just depends on how you define "powerful". Death could beat War (or any of the other Horsemen for that matter) in a fight quite handily, though that doesn't mean he's the best at everything. As far as being a one-man army goes, War is gonna be do a better job.
@haroonmohammed63512 жыл бұрын
@@jurtheorc8117 idk.. as far as physical strength goes, death and war are equal as far as ive seen, atleast based on logic. War couldnt lift ulthanes hammer without the tremor fist while death seems to easily be able to carry around maker weaponry and heavy weapons. Like how ge caught belials giant spear with one hand. And also, harvesters original form is that of a giant scythe, which is a larger, heavier weapon than chaoseater, so the strength logic seems moot. War is just wearing heavier armor honestly. And when there isnt the tremor gauntlet, war uses his prosthetic hand for strength requirements. In ds1, im most of wars cutscenes, where he showed his feats on strength, war had the tremor gauntlet on .. so his feats are mostly cuz of the gauntlet. And death is near impervious to damage, and hes physically strong enough to go toe to toe with war and he is faster. So even without furys whip, death wudve one shot war. I might seem like a fanboy, but based on ds2 storyline, death goes through waayy more powerful bosses than ds1 and ds3 combined

Possessed weapons are basically the best in the game. Whenever you find a weapon or armour piece that you don't need, you can feed it to the weapon to level it up. When you level up a possessed weapon, you get to pick between several passive stat increases which depend on the weapons you fed it in the first place (i.e., feeding that Hammer a bunch of weapons with bonus crit will allow you to get bonus crit on level-up). This allows you both to get a weapon that fits your personal playstyle well and helps clear up inventory space.

The "super mario 64" flip is actually a way to disincentivize dodge spamming. The 3rd dodge in a row is slower and leaves you rooted for a short moment, meaning if you are too spammy against an aggressive enemy you can be caught without a dodge at the wrong time. I guess it's essentially an alternative mechanic to having stamina.

Presentation and story wise darksiders 1 was king, truly. But darksiders 2 has the better combat system with many combos, better enemies, vastly fleshed out the darksiders universe and told stories of a more grander scale. The only awkward feeling was that playing rpg with a horseman of the apocalypse was wierd, a horseman shouldnt have to scavenge for weapons when they already have op weapons. But i suppose based on lore, death isnt supposed to carry his original harvester unless its on council sanctioned missions. So he gotta rpg cuz he dont have his OG scythe.
