"and lo i saw a pale horse with a pale rider. The horse's name was pestilence, on him sat death, and behind him followed all hell"

Oh christ... do I even need to point out what's wrong with this? Death should not have to resemble a wrestler to do his job, and he sure as hell shouldn't need to do any more than touch someone with one skeletal finger to end their life.

HE. IS. DEATH.

Not war, not an incarnation of conflict that will destroy his foe through said conflict, he simply says "you're dead" and it is so.

It's a game. Oneshotting mobs is only fun for so long.

Why is the 'second horseman' Death? Death is the fourth. But that would be more fun than Famine sitting in the corner and starving the angels, demons, and whatever else.

OT: Darksiders was fun, but I never finished it because of a game-breaking bug. I do hope Darksiders 2 is a bit different, though

This isn't the grim reaper, it's the fourth horseman of the apocalypse. They are different beings. Also, that wouldn't make a very good game.

I'm rather looking forward to this, hopefully it'll be Zelda style like it's predecessor and hasn't become more of a traditional hack n' slash.

I'm actually really looking forward to this. The original Darksiders may not have been very original, but damn was it fun.

well, technically Death is the LAST horseman, not the first... (war was actually the second)

nor was the his horse named Pestilence... Pestilence has been appropriated as a horseMAN but was never actually one of the 4 (presumably because it made more sense theatrically to have pestilence as opposed to war AND conquest, but still)

i get too nitpicky...

well thats actually a translation of a quote from one of the many versions of the bible's book of Revelations 6:8. It is saying he it the last one, because all hell breaks loose to destroy the earth after him. In this context the horsemen are Conquest, War, Famine(you are correct sometimes translated as pestilence), and Death in that order.

death is the onley horseman that hase his name mentioned in the Bible. i actualy would have prefered the horseman with guns (Darksiders comic), ore the one with the whip. But i gues We'll get all of them in time. A 4 player co-op would be nice...

that's... not exactly what i meant... my point was that he was the last once, from the 4th seal, hence the emphasis on the order of the horsemen in my post. famine is also never really "mistranslated" as prestilence, my point was that the common four (the four used in popular culture): war, famine, death, pestilence, are only as they are because explaining the functional difference between conquest AND war would take too long, etc, so conquest was appropriated into pestilence...
