who is this cute femboy and why is he talking about darksiders?

The final scene “No, not alone” is still one of my favorites of all finales. I could not wait for the sequel. If they ever decide to conclude it, they will have my ax… I mean money.

I feel like darksiders could’ve been something much bigger if THQ didn’t file for bankruptcy after darksiders 2.

War makes peace, Death brings life, Fury calms down. I love it.

Strife still needs his time in the Spotlight with a solo entry. I’d imagine a Gunsgrave, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta style of gunplay… hopefully they complete it.

I'm glad someone is talking about this series still, ds1 and ds2 were baller as fuck

That final scene with War calling the other horsemen will forever be my peak end game scene

Hope this series eventually gets a final game with all 4 together.

Played all three and yeah, we need at least two more games. One to help flush out Strife and the last one where the developers can do what they want: Either Single player but you can switch between Horsemen, or Coop with friends with the idea of replayability to see how each of the horseman work together.

To this day, Darksiders is one of my favourite series out there. There's a reason I got the Horsemen symbol they made as a tattoo. I'm not kidding

That final montage really hit me in the feels. The ending of Darksiders 1 is for me at least the most bad ass and best ending to a game ever.

“You should not have made them KNEEL!” One of my favorite lines in the third game really paints Fury’s love for her brothers despite her constantly trying to deny it. She respects them even if she feels they don’t respect her, and would not have their honor sullied but such a poor illusion.

I love Darsiders. Its one of those series that took many aspects of other games and mixed them to make fantastic games. As well as taking the generic concept of 'Angels vs Demons/The Apocalypse' and actually made a world that its weirdly unique despite its concepts. I hope they will manage to at least finish this story that we all are really interested in

FINALLY, someone is talking about these games.

The OST for Darksiders 2 was top notch.

This story deserves a proper conclusion it’s was one of the best game I had the pleasure of playing when I was 15

Ever since darksiders 1 when ever I face off against a winged creature of any kind I think to myself "time to pluck pigeons"

Darksiders Genesis is REALLY good! Obviously not a mainline game, but it was directed by Joe Mad and the crew over at Airship Syndicate, so it's more authentic imo than DS3. Worth checking out and playing through with a buddy; it's a blast!

I am truly happy people have as much love for this series as I do, thanks for making this video.

How do you bring up the DS2 music and NOT include the guardian boss theme? That track STILL gets me hyped up.

Awsome recap of the trilogy. The earth segment of Ds2 was suppose to be more of a horror theme, and make u afraid of the undead flood, but it still felt short after the dead lands. Also dont sleep on Ds3's soundtrack, the violin song at the end scene is pure awe. Genesys takes place before the main story of the 3, and deals alot with lucifer and his main schemes, as well as samael's place in the lore. Strife is the more humane horseman, like u see in 3. Keep up the great work !!!

Darksiders truly is a underrated series. The fact it still lives,in a way, gives me hope that one day, we’ll see the grand finale. Amazing video. 😊😊😊 Also that ending, that is also equally amazing. How you edited it all together got me a bit emotional, in a good way.

Darksiders is proof that being popular doesn't automatically make a game series good.

Played all the Darksiders games including Genesis and I have to say each game is a treat to play and reminds me of why I got into gaming in the first place These games are never the most original games but they aren't trying to be one and wear their inspiration on their sleeves. Also loved your summary of the story especially fury catching redditors

Darksiders 1: Great game Darksiders 3: Great game Darksiders 2: Actual timeless masterpiece Seriously, Darksiders 2 is one of the best games ever made in every single aspect, and it just flew under the radar like that. Didn't exactly tank, but didn't save THQ from bankruptcy either. Such a sad state of gaming. The music, the lore, the scenery, the voice acting, the art style, the combat, the exploration, the incredible puzzles... Darksiders 2 is borderline flawless.

Darksiders is such a cool story setting that the games never quite managed lived up to. They're not bad games by any means, but they're not great either. I still hold hope we could one day get the "Darksiders 4" game we've been building to from the beginning of playing as all four horsemen in one game.

Darksiders 2 was the first ever game i got on my xbox 360. It's special to me because i only used to play ps1 and n64. I was literally in awe when I saw this skeleton guy riding a firey blue horse on screen with snow everywhere

This is making me want to replay darksiders 2 now.

Death is my favorite horsemen. The player always knew he was powerful but after learning Death wasn't at his full power during the events of ds2 made him even more of a badass.

At least the prequel game managed to redeem the franchise

The ending of Darksiders 1 and the part where Death finishes off the Archon in Darksiders 2 are some of the most epic moments I've seen in over 30 years of gaming. I really hope the developers can make a better entry for Strife than what we've got for Fury.

I love so mucho this series, it felt so awesome to have such powerful characters yet you see them not feeling that much and always growing not as the Horsemen of the Apocalypse but as individuals. Plus Death's voice and portrayal is so good

How do you only have 500 subs??? This is too good to be slept on like this. 10/10 vid man you'll definetly get the recognition you deserve

I love Darksiders series , much what you say its true , but how you mix the Outro , damn .

Yes indeed, this Franchise deserves much better.... Mark my words, if i am ever to achieve my dreams i will one day buy the rights to this Franchise and ill build a proper legacy for it... One day, Darksiders and Prototype will have their names as one of the greatest ever made!

I’ve never laughed this hard and this frequently while watching a video essay. This is the first video of yours I watch and you’re already the most entertaining video essay channel I’ve seen out of the maybe dozen that I watch regularly.

death is hands down the best horseman imo. his final monologue standing in front of the well of souls when says he has no idea what to do next is just crazy. the fact that he is death yet fights to save life, and also the fact that he defeated and killed a fking concept is crazy. darksiders 2 will always be my favourite in the series.

I still hold out hope for DS4 with Strife and one to end with all of them

I literally watched half the video, looked at the subscriber count, subscribed, then looked at the views on your videos, and if they are half as good as this has been, you deserve that the agorithm has apparently chosen this one, good luck on the journey man

Goated video my dude! Loved that you included the music from darksiders 2, absolute bangers

Still have Plains of Death as my ringtone. What a beautiful piece of work from Jesper Kyd.

*LOVE* Darksiders, one of my favorite franchises ever. A friend and I are still hoping for a four player co-op came where each player controls a Horsemen.

Damn, well done on that Outro. Also while I haven't finished Genisis, I did have a good time. 100% worth your money. We can only hope we will be lucky enough to see Darksiders 4 come to pass.

it pains me to see how this beautiful series keep getting neglected and remains unnoticed. as a fan I always get happy to see people talking about my fav games in a good and positive way. the series deserves all the love it receives and beyond this video made my day

Dude! The way you edited that ending gave me literal chills. I fucking love this series and these amazing characters that Joe Madureira designed. (I have all their statues sitting behind me right now) I would love it if we got an epic ending to this series that gives them the send off they really do deserve. 😁👍

I have huge nostalgic love for these games, and you covered both the good and bad about them perfectly. I think they'll always be in this weird space of looking for their own identity that'll never happen, but that doesn't mean I wont respect what they tried to do. Excellent video man!

I love Darksiders. It might sound weird but for me, this series acts like a worthy substitute to the absence of the LoK series... great story and world building, similar gameplay and fantastic voice acting (even Kain's voice, Simon Templeman is in).

Darksiders 2 is one of my favorites soundtracks of all time. Jesper Kyd (Hitman, Assassins Creed, Batman and Robin for sega Genesis, killed it. Such a varied, wondrous and awe inspiring soundtrack. Truly ethereal.

The day a Darksiders 4 is announced, with trailer and everything,I will cry tears of the kin- I mean, of joy, because the world did this franchise dirty, especially with how much potential it has

Man I love this series. Glad more people are covering it and giving it exposure to their audiences. Love them all. 2 is my favorite (that OST man, one of my all time favs) but 3 actually has my favorite combat loop once I got used to it especially with the added DLC weapons. They also added a classic style update for 3 where the heals and item use are automatic making it more smooth during combat. Ionos also might be my favorite boss in the series tbh. Great vid, subbed

Fucking love the Dark Siders series. It one of the best examples of early 2000s edge/asthetics but with great writing and character work. (minus 3 for like 90% of it.) I was worried my childhood/teenage nostalgia was going to break apart when I played these games again many years later. Thank god it didn't in the story as well as Gameplay. (again minus 3.)

I cannot express how happy it makes me to see people that still talk about darksiders.

That ending dude, why you gotta make me struggle like that😢

From Genisis basically what you can pick up is that Strife used to be a bounty hunter/hired gun/mercenary, and that alot of his jobs were done without regard to if the target was innocent. He is still dealing with all that guilt which really affects him any time he sees something that reminds him of those days. His name is also pretty symbolic just like the others as even though he still has so much strife inside him that he cant deal with, he makes it his main goal to keep a light and funny atmosphere to help his allies take a load off and forget their own trauma. Would absolutely love to see him in his own game and the growth that would come from it.

Darksiders 2 will always be one of my favourite games EVER! Death is such hell of a protagonist. From design, to animations, his persona, voice... My gosh, his voice. During my many playthroughs I've always had a situation where I just spammed horse summoning button just to hear "I have to go alone..." or "This is no place for a horse..." I have very similiar vibes when I'm watching SPAWN series or play Mortal Kombat 11 with SPAWN and hear Keith David. SO DAMN GOOD!! ❤ To me - Death just had it all. That video made me replay DS2. Weekend quest list updated 😂 Also, you have a new subscriber. This video is really well-done!

It kinda snuck up on me while I was playing Darksiders 1 and 2, but about mid way through both I realized I really really liked the main characters.

I played each of them as they came out, revisited 1 & 2 for their remasters and for me DS3 was my favourite. Each had a good story and characters but 3's gameplay is what makes me revisit it rather than the other 2. It's kind of humbling to know that there are games you either get or you don't, a game you find difficult might play as easily to another as something they find tricky and you breeze through.

I absolutely love this series ever since the 1st game. I would love to see the day we get to complete the story and close this wonderful game.

BOYS! Thank you all so so so much for the support on this video!! I’m gonna be streaming over on my twitch channel (link in description) on Sunday the 2nd of July at 12 PM AEST (Saturday the 1st of July 7pm California time 10pm New York time) for the one year anniversary of this channel, and I’d like to do a QnA during it, so drop your questions about anything you’d like me to answer about in the replies to this comment and I’ll try my best to answer the ones I can. Ask me anything you’d like about the channel or any of my videos, hope to see you there and once again thank you so much for all the kind words and support :))

I remember as a kid in early 2010's it was one of my favorite game series. particularly Darksiders 2. It was a very big improvement over the first game. despite some drawbacks. One of the best games of 2012, without any doubt, especially considering what came out that year - Mass Effect 3, Dishonored, Far Cry 3, The Witcher 2, Assassin's Creed 3, Tourchlight 2, Forza Horizon, Bourderlands 2, Prototype 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles - all of these awesome games, still loved over a decade later. Darksiders 2 was awesome in many aspects - interesting storyline, awesome world, satisfying gameplay, neat powers divided into two skill trees and cool bosses. However, the series as a whole are what you can call a unrealised potential. While second game is really good, the others are "not enough" in manya aspects. I mean the first and third game, as they in my opinion fall short in comparison with Darksiders 2. On the other hand, Darksiders Genesis is a really awesome, Diablo type game that i enjoyed very much. Hopefully it's success will push the series forward, it's been quite a few years after all.

Darksiders 2 hits so hard with its music, it's been my favorite game of all time regardless of how "meh" it is. Or how much people see it as a DLC. Death to me is the most interesting and badass charcter.

Man that outro almost made me tear up, the "Not alone.." always gets me in the feels ever since I played DS1 on release. Also go play Genesis man, it's fricken awesome and seeing the camraderie between two of the horsemen as they actively work together relaly solidifies their bond and why War has such faith in them, and why Death was willing to die to prove his brother's innocence. And to top that it also has a banger ass soundtrack.

Genesis was a real callback in both narrative and gameplay.

For someone who didn't got the chance to play God of war. I love Darksiders so much, for the combination of genres are so well mixed together.

As a desperate fan of this franchise (as in I'd really really want to see the story finished), I'm glad to see someone talking about it! Played through all of them (including Genesis with a friend of mine, was a great time!) and I agree with the 2nd game being my favorite. As an avid Zelda fan, this series obviously spoke to me. Not only the gameplay (as much as I also remember getting my ass kicked in the 3rd game, I remember dodging being super satisfying) but the visuals, the story and the music (Crowfather from Darksiders 2 is sooo epic, I remember getting goosebumps when that music hit at the beginning when you're made to fight War). ... This video kind of made me want to go play through all of them again. Thanks for making it, I wish more people knew about Darksiders.

Darksiders deserved better Me: indeed it does.. such a very underated very good game..

Goddamn dude. I haven’t thought about this series in years. It used to be everything I lived and breathed for a time, thank you for this wonderful video, the end montage brought me to tears. Its been tough, slowly watching all the different series that used to fill me with such excitement and joy slowly wither and fade away to nothingness due to neglect, I’ve become so apathetic as a result and it’s so sad. Halo, Destiny, Gears, and Darksiders, as well as others. I can only hope that one day, we’re all truly blessed by the continuation and conclusion to such a beautiful franchise. I’ll always believe that these games were true iconic treasures.

And fury is tasked by the IRS. Absolute gold.

This video was Beautifully made, and the love you have for the series is quite apparent with how deeply and passionately you talk about it. I personally loved Darkisers2. It was also the first one i played in the series. Thanks for reminding me about this great series. I might just play it again sometime soon

Yo the ending scene of DS 1 was goated. I love DS 1 and 2 so much(3 as you said really is just ok). Only thing i kinda not am 100% on board is changing half of the horseman from the biblical ones, i feel like using the OG horseman as protagonists would be cooler

I just wanna say that the Darksiders series will forever be one of my favorite and this video is just exactly how I feel about them. They truly do deserve so much better! Thank you for making this, I hope the devs see more stuff like this and maybe just maybe. We’ll get the conclusion the series deserves. Well played friend! Also this video just got you another subscriber 😎

I haven't played Darksiders 1 & 2 in a little over a decade and it randomly came to mind a while ago. Watching this video brings back insane nostalgia. Still one of the greatest games I've played. Nice video.

I love the franchise but they seems to refuse to move the story onward. I do hope they do one day. The third despite his flaws is my favorite because of it's Metroidvania inspiration, I feel the game was too short but still enjoyed it a lot. It feels weaker I think in part because the Director behind Darksiders 1 & 2 barely did any work on the 3 (just some sketch design on Fury), Joe Madureira, an amazing artist.

this was a fantastic video, I look forward to seeing more from you

"There is no shame in turning back" "No point either" literally the most chad line in all of gaming.

The cutscene from the end of Darksiders one still gives me goosebumps. Totally underrated series for those that haven't tried it!

Man oh man even today I still play the crap out of these three games, (I haven't picked up genesis yet but that's mostly because I saw a few clips of it and something about it just didn't grab me) some days I'll just be like "You know what lets play Darksiders trilogy in order", which was abit of a problem since 2 and 3 happen roughly at the same time but hey I still did it regardless. I remember the original Darksiders coming into my life in a very dark time when I was contemplating...a sharp end of the blade simply put game showed me sometimes life is going screw you over and you can choose to press on or give up, one thing that I thin deserves a highlight was the Legendary mods you can get late game, they are bloody fantastic and each greatly enhances certain weapons and playstyles, also War being built like a Tank where he can absorb massive amounts of punishment when paired with his Legendary Abyssal armor lets him leech life which I think is a nice touch because then its like seeing him thrive on fight itself. Darksiders 2 I actually don't really remember when I became awear of this title but regardless I am actually not a super big fan of the Weapon RNG in this game I do prefer the weapons of the first and third game since you know okay these are the Legendary Weapons of the horsemen and there's something mystical about that, that said it was fun playing and replaying this game trying out new builds and taking on the crucible and piecing together Deaths abyssal set which unlike on the Original Darksiders Death is limited to replaying the game one time on that file which was a huge let down for me since I'm a "New Game + Enjoyer", if I could mod the Darksiders 2 files in some way where I could start fresh with the Abyssal Set I would be very happy...but sadly I am not quite that motivated. Darksiders 3, now this one I remember got alot of hate for being a Souls like game but tbh? the fact that you don't have a stamina bar makes it so you can if you choose endlessly dodge wait for the proper opening and repeat Personally this title is my favorite, I love that once you initially unlock the Abyssal set from the Void DLC you can start a fresh file and have it unlocked, another solid thing about this game are the rune...mod...sigil things I don't recall their exact name but you can use these to passively charge your health wrath and havoc over time meanwhile you can sit there drinking a cup of coffee, one of my biggest gripes about this title is when Envy (Because if you pay attention to what the watcher monologs on about she makes it really obvious its her), but anyway when Envy emerges and forces fury into a slow walk while they talk about stuff you know from your previous X amount of playthroughs meanwhile I'm here trying to do a challenge run and she's ruining it. Well just wanted to share my two cents on the titles despite being late to the party...I seriously doubt this will ever be read sooooo...This is no place for a review...(couldn't resist). Looking forward for Darksiders 4 in the year 2030 for them to show us what Strife has been up to and we still wont know how the story ends with the Four being rejoined on earth one last time. XD

Holy hell what a great video, perfectly encapsulates my feelings towards the franchise. Thank you for this video.

Man I really miss playing these games younger , one of the most underrated franchise ever , great video bro !👍

Damn! That ending was so epic! Bout to play all of them again and pray for another! Sadly I'm with ya, my hopes for one may never be realized. Always love a DarkSider"s fan, much love 🫡

I feel like Strife would have been the perfect rep for Humanity and what it means to be human in his game; I do believe all three games explain that he is the most sympathetic to humanity.. Also, for this theory, it was actually a great choice for you to use Guts' Theme for said-character.

I never played this game but I watched all the game playthrough of each game and I must say, This was a good series of games.

Darksiders 1 was the very first videogame i bought with my own money (the shiny hardcover even!!) This video brought so much nostalgia and you managed to capture every detail so well. Thank you dj!!

I found Darksiders by accident someday and I'm glad I did. Liked the first one, but when I played the second I fell in love with the series. Still need to play 3 and Genesis. Also, gotta love when KZfaq recommends a nice new channel 🙏 incredible video, very funny too

Darksoders 2 was my favorite game of thr 7 generation. I’ve found myself rebuying this game over and over again just because of how good it is

I totally agree darksiders needed more

The ending of War saying ‘No, not alone.’ still gives me chills.

Covering a series a loved with that writing and that humour, even down to the title of the outro in the chapter select is just brilliant. Youve earned this sub!

I loved Darksiders when it came out. I adored Darksiders 2 when it came out. I question the sanity of using Souls game mechanics in Darksiders 3. I regained new hope when I played Darksiders Genesis. And with that hope, perhaps one day I will be able to play Darksiders 4 and this grand tale can finally come to a close.

I feel like Darksiders 3 failed to capture what it feels like to be one of the Four Horsemen, combat wise. You are supposed to be a big deal on the battlefield, but Fury just feels like your ordinary angel/demon. I know she uses whips but I would expect them to work like the whip from Prototype games, not a limp wristed bitch slap.

Glad to see the series getting more attention here ❤. Great video.

I was searching for a Darksiders sum up video and this got recommended to me and it was spot on. I like your style of writing, it's really good and so is the editing. So you got yourself a new sub I guess. Now off to see if the rest of your videos are on par with this one :)

why this video so good

Ngl as much as I love DS2 (I know what I am about to say is blasphemous), I wish the game wasn’t just one long stretched out fetch quest. Yes the goal for most of the game is to stop the corruption and find a way to revive humanity/clear wars name, but I can’t help but feel like Death although charming becomes way too much of an errand boy. I say this too as someone who loves Zelda games, but it feels like he has to constantly go do things that otherwise seem like a waste of time or were thrown in to make the game longer. Also how did they make such a vast open world seem empty, yet have so many explorable areas that are almost always item/ability locked? I feel like every explorable area desensitizes you from future exploring and instead just bum rushing the plot, because more likely than not that area requires something you either don’t have yet for the next few hours, or its in an area you’ll NEVER go back to unless you expressly go out of your way to go to that exact area. I love the game, but honestly I would advocate for a remake of it with at least DS3 level graphics and updated fluidity for better traversal

I'm so glad your video got recommend to me dude cause it was pretty good and made me want to replay Darksiders 2... You've earned this sub with notifications on! Keep the memes coming and good luck with your future videos! Also hope you continue making videos using this format 🤞🏻

Thanks for this video. The ending is just sad and beautiful. Really hoping that Darksiders finds the light once more.

i love this series so much, it has so much nostalgia with me. this was such a well put together video, great job ❤

D2 still looks beautiful even today. i miss these kinds of games.

What a video - just have to compliment you on how much time you probably put into this. I hope this goes viral ASF. Really well done this is hilarious, thought through and filled with really good references... Made my day

Yes, at least someone is making a good revision of the series. I can't believe that almost 5 years passed already since ds3, and we waited 6 for ds3. I'm famous in my friends' group for a biggest ds2 fan, which i've completed 10+ times, and last time i went to fully complete the game with ng+ (3 times), the crucible, all dlcs, all rings and all areas and chests within the worlds.
