Huh. I'm kind of surprised actually, I just read a review of The Darkness II yesterday, so I'm surprised that Yahtzee didn't bother mentioning what that review cited as the game's biggest flaw- that Jackie spends the entire game moping over his dead girlfriend Jenny like some emo twit to the point that it makes him impossible to take seriously.

I was hoping yathzee would review this game. Although there's not much to be gained from the review I mean the game just doesn't sound that interesting. But then again I was never into the grim and gritty dark era comic books the darkness seems to be born from.
Woo! Zero Punctuation Anniversary addition! It's come a long way! =D
Also, I was considering getting an x360, now..not so much .

I just finished the raid in WoW and I stumble upon what it would seem another Zero Punctuation movie which gives me the chuckles I needed to make my day.
I really enjoyed the game myself,really different compared to it's predecessor,but I like the new cell shaded look.Gives the game a way better vibe of the comic rather than the first one.

I never played the darkness 1 since it is not on the PC. When I played the darkness 2 though I really enjoyed it. It is short but its still fun and its better to be short and sweet than long and drawn out. So yes if you are interested in a good story. And by good story i mean yes you might of seen it done before if you are old enough or have enough experience, however its still enjoyable to play through it and the love interest is not a complete tool.
I don't think he would like it! I imagine it would be torn apart due to the fact that in the Context, Challenge, Gratification model that Yahtzee came up with himself, and that he beleives a great game will fill those parts equally, Dear Esther fails on the Challenge front... due to the fact you pretty much cannot lose the game... or do anything but progress!Daniel Poncelet said:

I felt the same after watching this, todays just wasn't that funny for me, one of Yahtzee's weaker episodes sadly. There seem to be a lot more reviews nowadays which are balanced compared to his older episodes where a game was either praised or torn a new one with no in-between.tony2077 said:
A lot of people really hated this game, and I see a lot of negative player reviews, but for some reason, I really liked this one (and I consider myself to have high standards). Call me crazy? (sweet, apparently Yatzhee didn't give it a super thumbs down either)
I agree, although I did play on medium (Being one of those people who likes to play the game and not just get insta-killed the first time he gets shot) and did find it abit easy. Not very, just abit easy. But more fun was had trying to come up with creative methods of murdering dudes and not using the fecking guns because what loser uses guns when you've got DEATHSNAKES!antipunt said:
Of course, Darkness 2 was my 'Game I wouldn't buy at full price' that I just happen to get on my birthday, but in reality I'd have paid 20 (Instead of 30) for it because it was overly short (4 hours) but had great writing and characters.
That's true. Yeah, to be fair, I forgot how dam -short- it was. It's definitely not worth $60 I suppose...FarleShadow said:
but I loved the writing and characters. It really hit home for me, and few games can do that. Also I played the game on the 2nd to last hardest difficulty. Was scratching my eyeballs out at how much I was dying. Gamer masochism
Oh I love that show! Remember that episode when that guy in tights came bouncing in and started shooting white stuff at the doctors face and then Octopus said something like "-I'm going to get you with my tentacles!" and then the girl in the costume said "-Oh no! Not your big fat cock! It wont fit inside my oven" but then Martha Stewart came along and said "-Don't worry dear I'm sure there is another way to roast this rooster". Hmm kinda weird show don't ya think? :S.... Reminds me of that time I spend all night drunk in front of the TV flipping between cartoon network, cooking channel and adult swim. Anyway what was we talking about again... oh yeah Darkness 2, kinda cool game I guess, shitty fov though :/.SnakeoilSage said:
That's what I saw for 30 seconds prior to the feature. That's what is has to do with anything..No. said:
Don't get me wrong - I understand and don't mind advertising on the site. It helps pay the bills. But since I saw it at this link, I thought I'd save a new thread to point out a what a steamy pile of shi- er, lowest common denominator marketing it was. If I was a youth who frequented this site, I'd be kinda insulted and/or discouraged that the marketing was targeted here.
That answer your question?
