I own that game. Never played it :V
It's pretty much a Zelda/GoW hybrid, really.
I would have gone with
personally
Darksiders is.... okay. Too much emphasis on combat when it's combat system is laughable. The story is also really dumb. 'Oh pestilence and famine were replaced as horsemen of the apocalypse because they weren't X-TREEEEMEEEE enough.'
^You know, I'm about two-and-a-half hours in and I don't really see the Zelda comparison.
Yeah it was passable. It should have been utter crap, but somehow it hit passable.
Darksiders takes itself far too seriously for a standard apocalypse setup with WoW-style art.
I'm kind of sick of saying this, but:
If you're going to do an apocalyptic fantasy scenario, then have King Arthur rise from the grave and reclaim Excalibur as the prophecy foretells.
What part of Revelations was that in?
No, bad Malk. You're doing it again.
> implying that Le Morte D'Arthur shouldn't be canonised
Ok damn. You got me there.
lolno.
Someone's gonna get a rude awakening when England's hour of need rolls around.
There's totally a story in King Arthur awakening during WW2.
Aw man, it's like the same setup, too: invading Germans.
Never mind that the Germans won Britain in the first place and were in turn defeated by French Vikings. Technicalities blah blah blah.
That's why Le Morte D'Arthur shouldn't be canonized, when Arthur comes back, he will only protect Britain, leaving the rest of the world to rot! There's enough elitism in Apocalypse as it is.
Presumably he would protect those people aligned with Britain or that exist as a result of it, too. So Australians, Canadians and South Africans are cool. North Americans might not be, with their whole rejection of British authority thing. I'm sure some other mystical dudes would intervene or something. I dunno. Fuck y'all who aren't aligned with the Once and Forever King.
Besides, Excalibur is God's gift to Arthur. Using it against an apocalypse ordained by God is too good a narrative opportunity to pass up. Who knows how Excalibur will behave? Will it reject Arthur in his darkest hour, or will it rebel against God's plan? And to what degree is Excalibur Godly and to what degree is it pagan? :>
I've always felt it is more pagan than divine, so Excalibur and God's Plan might not be on the same track.
On the other hand, there's at least one instance of it rejecting Arthur for a failure in the chivalric code, if memory serves.
fuck yeah king arthur
The thought of King Arthur saving our ass during the Apocalypse is enough of a reason for me to vote for Scotland to stay a part of Britain.
Also, Darksiders is pretty good, I liked it. Mark Hamill is in it.
>MFW Alex didn't mention south america
fuck everything, I'm killing Arthur the second I see his zombie ass walking amongst the living
The code you posted has it required that one serves both country and God though
What then? =/
Also now I'm imagining a Zelda game where Link ends up with Excalibur instead of the Master Sword
Return to Castle Wolfenstein has the Nazis resurrecting Heinrich I during WWII. Does that count?
> full of Spaniards, Native Americans and mixtures of the two
> implying these are "Arthur's people"
why don't you go pray to don quixote or something
fuck you, Argentina's pretty much Britain.
...too far?
You'll have to ask an Argentinian :>
Noimporta hates us all, so I guess we'll have to hang on th...i see what you did there, huh.
Ugh.
Don Quixote doesn't need to save us, and really, Don Quixote is a book, the closest equivalent to Arthur in spanish tradition is The Cid, you bitch.
My semideific folklore figure could beat up your semideific folklore figure!
