    No need to be rude.

    Since Darksiders draws a lot of influence from God of War, it would make sense that you aren't a fan of either.

    I would've been surprised if you liked Legend of Zelda, the original God of Wars, but didn't like the first Darksiders.

      Soulslikes. I am so fucking sick of hearing about them. Elden Ring and it's jank ass UI did not deserve GOTY.

        Balatro. There’s just no motivation to keep playing. It’s just uninteresting. Love me some Slay the Spire, though.

        Same. I tried Balatro as something for my tablet.

        The 'permanent' voucher upgrades aren't actually permanent at all, and I lost interest after that. There's no meta advancement beyond unlocks, which is not for me.

          Hero Shooters, specifically Overwatch and R6 Seige. Really any sort of MOBA too. I dont really get the point of having unique characters with loads of lore and an underlying story if you aren't going to get to experience any of it in gameplay. TF2 gets away with it because the classes arent really characters, they are more like an archetype of that class and the story is just supplemental stuff.

            Sonic.

            I've been trying to like them when they were published, but no. It's not really much fun.

            It has some ups and downs for me. It's premised on speed and momentum and crazy loops. The first zone of the first game does a lot to establish that. It then promptly throws it all away in the second zone with a water level that puts in stops everywhere.

            Second game figured out the formula.

            To reopen the 16-bit playground wars, looking back at the merits of just the games, I'm surprised this was ever considered competition for Super Mario World. Sonic is fine, but Mario World is a masterpiece of design.

              Most platformers do!

                My issue is that I already stated which one I liked and disliked.

                Plus the way your comment is worded made it sound like you were going for some big 'gotcha' arguement, like "but you said you like Zelda so it doesn't make sense to not like Darksiders"

                  why would you wager that?

                      Oh yeah, so it does. My client was showing it as deleted until I refreshed.
