Darvond: Flash sales leading to 27,000 copies of bad rats?
I actually bought Bad Rats for myself awhile back. I don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore.
timppu: As for Darksiders, I've played it only somewhat, but what I've seen so far was quite nice. I have no idea what this complaint about the "edginess" is, to me it sounds the same as complaining Terminator or Terminator 2 movies being childishly edgy [...] Who cares? They were and are still good entertainment.
Terminator 1 was well written, though. Darksiders strikes me more as a middle schooler's biblical fan fiction, and the edginess is really only one of many problems I had with it. There are tons of ugly blurring effects, enemies are sometimes able to hit you in the middle of your combos without blocking, the game failed to register keystrokes a bunch of times when I would try to finish off enemies, enemies randomly disappeared and reappeared for no obvious reason, and that's not even getting into the annoying puzzles that try to rip off Zelda but are instead tedious, or the million and a half things stolen from other games (like the portal gun) that weren't anywhere near as fun to use as in the games they're originally from. Plus I seem to remember the pacing being awful toward the end of the game.
It's been years, though, and I suppose some of that could be explained away as bugs that might not be present anymore. Maybe I should go back at some point and see if I still hate it.
