Recently, I finished playing Darksiders 2; a game I’ve been playing on and off for about six months. Most games don’t take this long to beat, even with the precious little time I have for games these days.
There are a few reasons why Darksiders 2 took so long for me to finish. I definitely took my time at the start, and I’d often take breaks from it and play Mortal Kombat or something; but much of the blame lies on just how fucking long this game is.
Having been a massive, almost obsessive fan of the Thief series for most of my life, I looked forward to THIEF for more than half a decade. In this time I followed its development closely, though there was not much that reached the public until the weeks leading up to its release.
I read much on the game in those weeks, as well as the weeks that followed, and I was a little disappointed with what I discovered. Having since acquired and started playing the game, I think I’m willing to overlook those disappointments.
Gaming has spent most of its history progressing and evolving through trial and error. Consoles, companies, trends and genres have risen and fallen throughout time.
And while we’re getting the same fucking FIFA and Call Of Duty game every year, more great franchises than I can count are left to rot in obscurity.
