darkness 3 when

First game is OK. I haven't played the sequel, even though it's been in my Steam library for years, since it was in the $1 HIB tier.

EMBRACE DAH DARKNESS JACKIEEEEEEEEE

Loved the first game, still play it once in a while on my XBox Really wish there was a PC port though so I can run it at a smooth 60fps

Hated The Darkness 2, it felt stiff to play, claustrophobic, and worse overall.

Played the first game in like 2011. Parts of it were a little clunky but holy shit I loved it. The atmosphere was awesome, the city was comfy and creepy at the same time. The WWI hell part was weird, but interesting. Definitely a memorable game that I want to play again sometime. The second one was mechanically better and had a decent artstyle, but overall was forgettable compared to the first. Still, Darkness 3 when.

Really amazing underrated game.

My favorite game ever, even enjoyed the multiplayer while it lasted. The 2nd is nowhere near as good, visually should have stayed like the 1st.

Great depiction of hell yes I know its the personal domain of The Darkness and not actually hell. Super edgy and with its Hell's Kitchen setting its a great companion piece to Max Payne. Got me interested in the comic series. Never played 2, did Angelus ever make an appearance?

Jackie is a bit of a mumbler though and his loading-screen anecdote about eating out a woman got repetitive fast.

I just want a PC port.
kinda

I want a darkness movie more than darkness 3 unless darkness 3 is made by the devs of the first

Fantastic game. Never played the sequel because the change in artstyle really turned me off.

If you're going in blind, watch the film and chill with your girlfriend

>tfw you can go back to her apartment later in the game and ring the door bell and the darkness will just laugh at you

FUCK PAULIE

This. The ending cutscene where Jackie is dead and basically in purgatory before passing on, and he's just laying there, finally reunited with his dead girlfriend fucking rekt me to the core when I was younger.

>It's time to go, Jackie.
>I don't want to go. I want to stay right here with you.
>mfw

I didn't know this

Name a better depiction of hell than the one in The Darkness (1).

>protip: you cant

i liked the 1st one, felt "special", kinda like how The Suffering felt, compared to the sequels.

the 2nd Darkness was shit

The only thing that turned me off it is that the tv is way too small and far away from your point of view on the couch. It seemed like a bit of a waste of an opportunity putting the entire of Its a Wonderfull Life in there if you can barely make it out.

getting a gf irl much later in life made me appreciate just how they much they nailed the ultimate snug experience of watching a movie with a girl resting her head under your chin

This game really had some sad as hell scenes.
I still can't believe they put the entire movie in there, holy shit

otherworld was fuckin awesome
i wonder what it would have been like with some of the cut content they were going to put into it

>Enter Sandman on the construction site tv

Ost has quite a few good moments , this needs either a remaster or added to bone bc

Agreed. It was haunting. And I love the tie in to World War 1.

this game also had a pretty awesome prequel comic that came with it
i can quickly comic dump it if anyone wants

Awww, what did they do to Jenny?

She was a burden. This is freedom.

Dump it

alrighty then

...

Really mediocre mid 7th gen FPS. There was so many of them. The story was good if you hadn't seen a film before

Keep posting nigga

This still makes me tear up and I haven't played this game in a while.

hurts twice as hard now that I have a gf and I know exactly how I'd feel if this happened to me

First game was great.
Second game was pretty good but had an obligatory "multiplayer campaign" that you can tell half the effort went on. Jackie gets some cool bossfights but he never gets to kill a Darkness Dragon.

>First game is OK
shut up
get out

>will never get PC port of the superior game
>shitty cartoony sequel got one though

This the one with his ancestor? Read it before but it's breddy gud, really drives home how sinister the darkness is

There are multiple full-length cartoons, music videos, and movies in the game.

That's what I get for not scrolling down before posting

Thanks user

I loved both. 1st for atmosphere, 2nd for gameplay. The story was consistent for both whichbi could appreciate. I wish i had supported 2 earlier instead of giving it a chance years after the fact.

>all the hints about angelus in the original
>angelus artifacts in 2
>that fucking reveal

That's how you make a fucking nemesis

anthony got it bad man
and not because of greed or power
he just didn't want to die

Christ

Always hoped they would make another one, but aren't starbreeze in on Payday now or something?

>That's how you make a fucking nemesis
Fucking Angelus!
How fucking DARE she! REEEEEEEEEE!
Jenny was supposed to be in a better place! Somewhere nothing could hurt her! Mother fucker!

Thanks user
Gonna pick up copy asap

this needs to get a pc version.

FUCK YAH STACKADO

>Will never get to hear The Darkness's voice for the first time ever again.
One of the best parts of both games.

Someone, ask them on twitter what's going on with The Darkness and Riddick.

Also, did the Machinegames people come from Starbreeze?

>Darkness 3 never.

PC port when?

I have the sequel on Steam but haven't played it because I wanted to play the original game first, but they won't release it for a platform I own.

Finding a copy for my PS3 was a giant pain in the ass, it came with the shitty generic GameStop cover too. I'm still looking for a better one with the manual.

>the whole hell section

Personally love the first game and i played it for the first time last year. It was a fucking ride and is extremely different from the second game,which i played first many years before.

Both games are very different from each other but i like both of them for different reasons but the first one is better.

I don't even know why the darkness 2 has a multiplayer and why they would lock some weapons exclusively for it, it was simply not very good and i wasn't able to get all the trophies/achievos, so that's always a negative point in my book.

Shame we wont have a the darkness 3, ending on a cliffhanger is always fucking shit.

I can't believe that Jackie never went full "im death destroyer of worlds" on his mafia family once they killed Jenny on video for him,
what kinda ending is that? suicide?

>and it's sequel

Is it?

>awww what did they do to jenny :3

I tried playing the first game but it was way too clunky. It was very slow, it looked really ugly. aiming was garbo, enemies took far too long to die, there was way too many of them, and you died way too often given how far back it set you and the long load times.
Then I tried playing the sequel, which was the exact opposite. It was fast and the cell shaded artstyle looked real nice, but it was way too linear, enemies had braindead AI and died way too quickly and easily, there was no challenge.
I didn't get that far into either of them.

Never :(
First one was rough but enjoyable, second was good but short.

inb4 "DURR WHY DID YOU BUY IT IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA PLAY IT?"

The state of humble bundle nowadays, and not just by comparison but generally

Some of the cut content and concept art for this game looked really neat

>the tank sequence

>This entire scene when you let the Darkness let loose on an entire compound

youtu.be/opnG6qoVYzM

The Darkness 1 and 2 are so odd that I feel restrained in 1 but I can go on rampages in 2 with all the abilities and combos.

One really has to feel for all the dumb italian mafia mooks who stood their ground against a literal fucking demon sending tentacles with gaping maws at them down a hallway

Like who the shit would actually see demon tendrils ripping out your buddy's heart and go "No it's okay I've got a pistol I can handle this"

If they did announce a darkness 3 how would people react?
would the gaming community now care?

>gaming community now care
I doubt it, not even sure if I would care, the second one left a bad taste in my mouth.
I'm more hoping for a decent remake of the first one.

Those that enjoyed the first two games would be happy, but the community has shrunk considerable.

The best part of the games is the little details. How in TD1 they actually put the whole fucking movie in the couch scene or the Dancing with Jenny hallucination.

Best relationship simulator outside of a visual novel desu.

honestly Jackie and Jenny are probably one of the best video game couple i can think of

Their love is pure.
Given how the Darkness 2 turned out Jenny may have been the reason Jackie managed to puck the Darkness back.
She would have allowed herself to suffer there if it meant Jackie didn't have to suffer anymore. They don;t deserve their fate, they should be together forever.

>mfw achievement for dancing the entire song

First game had better story and direction. Second one had good gameplay but I felt the story wasn't as good? It also felt really short compared to the First.

Darkness 2 was fun, gave up on 1 after 20 minutes because of low fps/resolution and shit controls.

>We are the stuff of nightmares.

>She would have allowed herself to suffer there if it meant Jackie didn't have to suffer anymore
christ man....
