[MyGame] Darksiders

[Xiphan]

Am I being a little arrogant if I say his dodging kinda sucks?

That's because dodging is lame, block countering is the real way to play!



Just like I showed how there were secrets hidden in Cairn during the Grim Dawn MyGame it is important to remember to explore the area thoroughly in Darksiders as well.



I have a few other videos to post but two of them are still uploading and I have already reached the video limit with this post so I will post them later.

I love countering in spectacle fighters but my big gripe with it in this game is that I need to let go of my movement keys otherwise War simply does the dash. This makes countering while in a heavy fight very awkward. It's hard enough seeing and enemy tell when you are surrounded by 6+ enemies.

I know the feels. I've actually died a few times in this game and in the original because I dodged towards an enemy instead of blocking an attack.

Otherwise here is another video I wanted to share because I always thought it was awesome the way you acquire new gear in this game.

The selection/locking/throwing aspect is a bit unintuitive, at least on pc. Feels like i waste so much time selecting aim mode, then clicking lock mode then selecting them, all dodging the 4+ guys im trying to aim at.

Why do that when 3 scythe swipes does the job


And since dark souls I'm more used to dodging behind than parrying, and the couple times i tried it on single enemies it was rather underwhelming

So I got to Tiamat last night. Died twice (apoc mode doesnt let you "learn" boss scripted moves) and got annoyed at the semi-unskippable cutscene...will kill the bitch tonight

I agree.

What I found works really well is to get the upgrade for the crossblade to bounce between enemies, then when in combat with more than one enemy simply start off by tossing the blade without lock on and follow it up with a sword combo. It make most smaller enemies stagger and adds more hits to your combos.

Tiamat is difficult! It took me a couple of tries before I could beat her. The next big boss isn't nearly as difficult.

YAS! I keep dying trying to 'finish' her off!

*EDIT*
Ding Dong, the bitch is dead! That took longer than I had expected, the jailer was an easier fight. Off to the next area!

I'm going to assume that selecting an enemy and focusing on one is a mechanic which makes a game like this easier to play on a console because I hardly ever use it on PC. I simply rotate the camera around constantly with my mouse to keep track of enemies.

The thing is a block counter attack is a lot stronger than a normal attack so it's useful for finishing off an enemy quickly and enemies near the one you just blocked will take damage as well. Best of all it can be used on the final boss which I remember made the final boss battle a lot easier to get past on Apocalyptic difficulty.

Yeah, I find the hardest part about the Tiamat battle is the start where you have to throw inert bombs on her and then detonate them. Otherwise I defeated her the night before and that video has finished uploading if anyone wants to see how I did it.

Spoiler: show

Unfortunately I didn't play any further last night as I pretty much passed out as soon as I got home from work yesterday.
