you get 1 ranged weapon unlike 2 in 1
you get 4 other weapons with very limited movesets
no more equipable skills/magic, you just use 1 attack when the bar fills up
no more combos to learn
no armors to unlock
no passive skills like wrath etc....
weapon can be slotted with enhancements but its more basic than ds1
far fewer collectible relics and stuff
art gets supressed by tech, theres a slight push towards realism and it results in the game looking very bland in a lot of areas
z lockon is a mess with mobs
no more finishers
And.

As a big fan of the series I was really disappointed with this game.
There are no more dungeons and very few puzzles, the world almost entirely (there's one cool underwater sequence) consists of drab tunnels in the form of subways, warehouses or caves. The Dark Souls inspired world design doesn't work because areas look completely the same, consisting of the same tunnels and assets over and over again, making it impossible to proberly navigate them without a map (which doesn't exist). There are few cutscenes & characters, the presentation is a disaster (bad framerate on PS4 Pro, endless load times, often during gameplay, sometimes every 10 seconds, while traversing the world, characters disappear in and out of the world at the end of cutscenes, the game crashed numerous times). I know the budget was extremely limited here but if Darksiders 1 when it originally released looked as good and often better (character models) than this game, that's one step too far imo.
so pretty much same deal as prior games ... insane review score spread , manistream sites killing it doe "outdated designs" and technical issues and smaller sites loving it for the fun combat , world and story
At least it sounds like they dialed down on the Darksider 2 design mantra, rule of three. Every single time.
Releases later tomorrow, think it was 10 in the evening pacific time? (Well for the Steam version on PC.) so if they don't use anything too complex for copy protection it should be up soon thereafter and of course user opinions and comments about the game after the reviewers have had their time with it.
EDIT: I prefer the first game still in it's design and gameplay, it follows closely to something like Zelda but does so pretty well, for the sequel it seems they branched out and expanded on all sorts of ideas and concepts but the overall execution isn't quite as good though it might have been from time and budget limits too from how some of the later areas feel more unfinished or less polished.

well development of DS2 was quite a mess with overblown AAA budget around made near the end of THQ especially with the "+1 featureset design"

from what i read this one is inspired a lot by Super metroid and Souls based on comments i read on twitter
I had been rooting for THQ Nordic as they had apparently begun saving many franchises i was interested in but.. Egh. Guessing they're just doing quick cash grabs & remasters for game they had no hand in. So far nothing i've played from them has been worth my time or money. :/
after reading few reviews seems like the reviewers are not even sure what "metroidvania" is ... some say its great metroidvania and other say it doesnt even resemble metroidvania
And the reviews are jus so all over the place that i have no clue what to think ... at least i am glad they got rid of the ton of DS2 bloat (especially the looting, few upgradable weapons are much better than ton of useless ones) ... like back in DS2 days manstream reviewers ranted its too bloated , now they rant that it was meatier before and thus this is bad :-/
Alright, let's answer this quick because the comments will be full up with people asking why this is reuploaded (even though people will STILL ask it after I post this):
It bothers me when I get things wrong in an unrepresentative way, even if it's a little thing, and I criticized the currency in this game being called Souls, when they were called that in the original game. I reuploaded the video to add that context, as it's one thing I can't fairly blame on Darksiders III. That part, not so much a ripoff (the way Souls are used in this one, however...). Anyway, I fixed that to be fair.
The rest of it, as far as I'm concerned, IS fair, and I will not be at home to the bargaining and denial I was met with in the last comment section.
ooh survived 30 seconds of the jimDerpling video until he said he loved DS2 more ... i miss the when jim was reviewer and not just outrage for the outrage kind of guy
I was expecting more fps on console … on Xbox one X, it's 30 fps max (very often lower)
Btw as it's not denuvo, it should be cracked pretty soon no ?
It's being released on GOG...

But the genre doesnt matter to me, i just cant get into that "Feminin" Darksiders 3 Protagonist, it feels wrong , lol..Damn, i dont know how to explain this right, it just feels bad, the acting, the way "she/you" talks in the game...
I know its a long time since i played darksiders 1 and 2. DS1 was better in my opininion..
But it was quite different, the main character didnt talk soo much, and u could get more into the Protagonist..
But this one now, i dont know man, maybe its just me getting older and when i played DS1 i felt different about the Gameplay, etc.,.
I guess, i could check out Darksiders 1 again and compare it..
But my feeling is that DS3 is worse,...
i hope i did explain that right..
