Unskippable: Darksiders 2

[Keith Fraser]

Did anyone else spend that whole cutscene thinking 'that guy could totally fit his hands through those incredibly oversized chains'?

Yes, I certainly did.

Even reading all the subtitles, I couldn't figure out what was supposed to be going on in half of this cutscene. Death wants a guy he imprisoned to do him a favour...the guy says no...so Death kills him in the hope that that'll make him say yes?

 

[ritchards]

Aw, no "That was the Xth time I died" joke... although I'm not sure if that works if you are Death... or a Death?

 

[Graham_LRR]

The Russel joke was too easy. Not that... we don't go for easy jokes. Cause we do. We just didn't this time.

And yeah, Death can't really die...

 

[Mydnyght]

And yeah, Death can't really die...

OR CAN HE???
Sorry, I couldn't resist...

Spoiler

I mean, I know that didn't really happen; it was from that South Park episode where the kids were recalling past moments, but the recollections were all wrong...

Spoiler

...which all turned out to be a dream Cartman was having...

Spoiler

...and THAT turned out to be a dream STAN was having.

Also, Graham, you are so right... who wouldn't wanna turn into a murder of crows upon dying?

 

[The Random One]

They got rid of the drummer because they weren't a band? Presumably, if they WERE a band, they'd get rid of the bass player.

This cool video does not change the fact that I discovered Fury is female and that there is absolutely no fucking way the slogan for her game will not be "Hell Hath No Fury". Oh, give me the happiness of oblivion! Ignorance can only be tainted, never returned!

EDIT:

The original Horsemen are Death, War, Conquest, and Famine.
Pestilence isn't mentioned in Revelations at all.

So seeing it would also be fairly inaccurate. Even though it's used fairly commonly.

I just checked. In fact, Death is the only horseman that is named. But none of the others refer to sickness, and the first one refers to conquest while the second refers to war and slaughter, so yeah, pretty much.

 

[Kurt Cristal]

Boo! More Atelier! We must find out if Meruru can make a simple health potion and not explode things!

Also, another missed opportunity for "X time I died" joke.

For those wondering about the four horsemen.

What we have is:

White horse: bowman with a crown; mission was to conquer.
Red horse, swordsman; mission to remove peace from the world.
Black horse, man with balance scales talking about economics.
Pale horse, the rider is Death and he brings Hell.

They are to ruin the earth with the sword, hunger, death and animals.

Where the hell did Pestilence come from? And who is using the animals?

And I would really like to see a game based on the third horseman

but, but, what about the "And that was the Xth time I died..." gag? That's a crowd favorite!
Wow, pretty short number of responses. Is it that the game you got the opening cinematics from was THAT insubstancial?

 

[leviadragon99]

Yeah, the playing fast and loose with the remaining horsemen thing bothered me too, though I'm now curious what their movesets and looks beyond those silhoutes will prove to be.

Ronnie Soak!

EDIT: Death seems kinda incompetent. He said the things he wasn't going to take the old guys life, he wasn't going to destroy the amulet and he was going to get him to open up the portal. Then he kills the old guy, breaks the amulet and it's just a fluke that the man just happens to turn into a people once he's dead.

You mean, the 5th Horseman, the one who left before they became famous?

 

[mlsterben]

If Death reaps the souls of the dead, and Death is dead, who reaps Death? Double Death?

 

[Canadamus Prime]

The original Horsemen are Death, War, Conquest, and Famine.
Pestilence isn't mentioned in Revelations at all.

So seeing it would also be fairly inaccurate. Even though it's used fairly commonly.

But aren't war and conquest essentially the same thing? You know, with conquest just being a very one-sided war?

 

[JonnWood]

Not a mention of how Crowfather can slip right out of his cuffs?

 

[Evil Smurf]

Is'n't the god of war Kratos?

Not a mention of how Crowfather can slip right out of his cuffs?

The crowfather is my five finger death punch cover band.

I was worried that was going to be too obscure =D

Yeah. Worst planner ever.

Well, possibly not. Depends on what the powers that be were thinking when they started this all up.

 

[Gremlin-Stenning]

It has just occured to me that death should be the alternate look of Raziel from the legacy of Kain series soul reaver

 

[duchaked]

a lifetime supply of Krispy Kreme donuts in exchange for my services to Hell...yeah okay sure!
