Blah Blah Blah Darksiders 2 Blah
If you can ignore the talking heads in this Darksiders 2 video saying the same thing game makers say whenever they’re featured in behind-the-scenes video — “The art is great! It was important that the setting looked true to the characters! It’s so much bigger than last game!” — there’s a good chunk of Darksiders 2 footage in here. Nothing so concrete as to suggest any astoundingly new, but there wasn’t anything astoundingly new in the first Darksiders either, and I enjoyed the hell out of that. You know, with all the sandbox games and RPGs and shit we’ve been enjoyed over the last few months, I’m genuinely looking forward to a reasonably sized game where I don’t have to do anything but beat the shit out of demons and angels.
