I always jump on them first then do the jump - slam down attack. if you stand on the opposite edge from where you want to go it seems to work quite well.

Thanks Casey! I hope you enjoy. YT is wierd about that stuff, but if you hit the bell next to the subscription button at set notifications to "all" you should start seeing them again!

I think it is that the "inane prattle" seems very close to stream-of-consciousness type stuff, and that consciousness seems to be genuinely kind and kind of genuine.

Hey Ninja! Thanks so much for watching. I deleted my channel facebook page a long time ago when I personally left the platform. Currently the only way to "follow" me is here on KZfaq (make sure to hit that bell!) and Twitter as a backup communication channel. Thanks for your understanding!

I LOL'd at the last line about the subway. That is a nice fantasy for sure. I make these comments from the position that anything not in the games is "Schrodinger's Canon", coined on the discord, meaning that things portrayed outside of the games may be canon, but also just as likely not. There is evidence for both equally. Overall I agree with your points of the benefits of DS3 taking place on Earth, but doesn't justify the "missed opportunity". First, a few thoughts: I personally don't think the choice for Death to sacrifice himself and the souls of the Nephilim was for a race of little consequence to himself - humanity is literally the reason for the initial betrayal of the Nephilim, as they stormed Eden to take a realm for themselves (and away from humanity) and the Four Horsemen were created from betrayers of their own kind to prevent the destruction of Humanity, as they needed time to grow to become on par with the Angels and Demons, aka the Balance (Angels, Humans, Demons at equal power for the Apocalypse). If he chose to resurrect his kin instead of humanity, that would have been contradictory to every choice he had made up to this point. While there is the obvious selfish motivation to resurrect the Nephilim and possibly alleviate his guilt and no longer be "alone", he made his choice long ago to serve The Balance. And as we learn from all of the other horseman through their journeys, their true loyalty is to that one tenet of the Creator - not to the Charred Council or anything else (although they don't realize that at the time.) That is what I feel the ultimate arc of the Horseman and these stories is meant to tell - that these four agents of The Creator (although thinking they are of the Charred Council) discover their true purpose, while maturing (most obviously in DS3) and unraveling the machinations and scheming of all these other beings, to discover their own true purpose. Humanity represents that purpose in the most fundamental way - that they need protection and guidance to fulfill their purpose as deemed by the Creator. So, all this comes around to "Did Fury's journey to discover this purpose NEED to happen exclusively on a newly destroyed Earth?" I believe the answer is a resounding NO. To show the vulnerability of Fury, did she NEED to lose Rampage? The answer I believe is another resounding NO. We already know humanity has traveled between worlds before - between Eden and Earth most evidently. So similar to other beings, while they might have a "home realm", they are not limited to that realm. They are limited to Earth currently due to not being fully ready for the Apocalypse yet, but their impact on the "worlds" is not limited to Earth. The fact that the whole premature Apocalypse happens essentially because of Abaddon's fear that Angels would not win if Humanity came to it's full power. That could have been explored in many, many ways while humanity and the balance is the core focus. I don't think we should have never been on Earth, and definitely more intimately than the shooting sequence of DS2, but there was so much more to explore. We can show Humanity as the core motivation, not a peripheral one, without needing to once again be exclusively on a destroyed Earth. Even DS1 showed more about the different worlds - other than the Maker Tree, we don't learn a lot about the larger Darksiders universe. We can show Fury being vulnerable in different ways while still using her horse. More about her relationship with her brothers. More about her activities (or lack thereof) while in isolation. Even more obviously, to your point, showing her vulnerability in situations where Rampage couldn't help her - a distinct different in power and abilities without Rampage. All of the other games show their horses as a way to travel, but can't do a lot of damage while on horseback, just move faster. Fury and Rampage could have been different. Years of isolation together, with her "furious" drive to be the most powerful horseman leading the group, obviously stemming from a strong internal insecurity, could have made her together with Rampage a huge force to be reckoned with. Instead, and I believe stemming from budgetary and scope reasons, not story ones, Rampage is just poof, gone. That all being said, with those budgetary and scope restraints, this journey on Earth is a pretty smart way to utilize those resources. Evidence being many of your points Bloodlust. So while I mourn the lost opportunity for what might be the last mainline Darksiders game, I do enjoy this journey immensely. The story overall is pretty lackluster in the grand scheme of the lore, but the biggest thing it does well is the emotional growth and arc for Fury. That was necessary and done effectively. I didn't really proofread this so it might be a bit ramble-ly, but those are some of my thoughts!

@@Kuddlesnot Thanks for the reply, and I am going to watch the newest episode very soon, probably later today. When I said it was of no consequence to him, I meant personally; Death on more than a few occasions in the game he was in made it clear that if it didn't directly affect him, he wasn't necessarily interested in helping. Karn makes these clear when he said that Death saving their realm and doing all the things asked of him is simply for the sake of getting to the Tree. Indeed, even the saving of humanity was done purely for War's sake. I do believe, though, as pointed out by Oran, that Death does have a softer side, and I believe he may have become a bit more concerned as time in the game went on, but while he, like the rest of the Horsemen, is dedicated to the Balance, there is kind of a clinical devotion to it, kind of like with Fury, though less admonishing of humankind, as opposed to Strife, whose devotion to the Balance seemed at least partly rooted in an organic connection to the humans he hid among. In short, Death and Fury, at least initially, seemed to be devoted to the Balance for its own sake. Fury seemed to sum it up when she said that while she fought for the Balance, that did not include Humanity (in the grand scheme of the story, it obviously does, but as far as her and Death's duty is concerned, not really, it seems). I think the same holds true for Death; had War not been in jeopardy, then humanity's existence or destruction would have been of little to no importance to his personal sense of duty to the Balance, though I do think that he and Fury, and ultimately, even War, would/will develop an organic and empathic connection to Humanity and a deeper sense of what the Balance is, protecting it because they are connected to it as opposed to merely being assigned to it.

@@bloodlustfulincubus440 Those are all good points. Reading this reminded me how much I don't remember about the franchise - I think I replay is in order! Thanks as always Bloodlust! I can gab about this stuff forever!

@@Kuddlesnot Me too lol! Also, looking forward to seeing you fight lust when i watch the rest of part six. Their dialogue and way if speaking is, i swear, what u look forward to most often during my runs. The voice actor captures this unique seduction, but not something sexual, rather a tone that makes one immediately understand how they can make a person abandon their ideals for darker gains. And the way they reveal to Fury her true feelings (on some level) and piss her off is DELICIOUS LOL.

Thanks for watching! I work and release them as I can in my schedule. So keep an eye out, they will come!

I think that is a good call. I mean, it makes sense to me that what happens to worlds would affect what happens to others, including earth. They should be connected anyway, so I would want to see some of that.

Im still stuck on the stature difference.... She needs a huge hammer to destroy cars.... War uses cars as projectiles... I didn't notice when I did my playthroughs 🤦🏻🤷🏻🤣

I agree the constant "corruption" got tiresome, but it made thematic sense. However that they didn't use that as a more interesting creeping evil was a missed opportunity. I think that is a reoccurring issue with the DS series as a whole currently - missed opportunity, which is a real shame.

True, Corruption is the overarching threat of the game. How it's spreading through Absalom to every realm when his anger should be just directed at Death is... interesting though. I haven't played Genesis much, but having finished these three games (thanks to your walkthroughs- finding all the Stonebites and Abyssal Armor and Ostagoth's relics and I don't-remember-what-all-else from the first two games is ridiculous at times) I agree that they could be more. I love them too though. Downtime for me is going through the Crucible in this game 😃.

Yes! I am doing all of the DLC after the main game because it can still be purchased separately.

So your gonna do the crucible too?

@@songoku4174 Yes. An overview of scoring, all the rewards, general strategy, tips and at least one complete 1-101 runthrough on Apocalyptic (before NG+)!

Awesome as I'm sure you know already the crucible is a pain in the hole to complete and wicked k is even worse

Yes, I believe so. There's more mentions but it isn't ever confirmed (or really strongly pursued by Fury, as it were)

Definitely different!

Thanks so much for watching Ninja! I deleted the fb channel page a while ago when I personally left the platform. Currently the only way to follow me is here on YT (make sure to hit that bell!) and Twitter which I keep around for backup communication. Thanks for your understanding!

No problem man
