No Loot System and No Skill Tree! Why? :(

so the loot system they had in dark siders 2 is a no go in this game? thats a bummer.

[NesRsT]

Propably low budget! But still good game, i think so. :(

[Mr D Grim]

lots of people prefer it that way tbh.

[Neoiceman]

yeah i am sorry but to get an refund, this is not an upgrade to Darksiders I & II, its an downgrade :(

[Klinex]

Because that's what made Darksiders 2 worse than the first one.

The loot system brought nothing to the second game, other than the bother of having to deal with it. I didn't have any issues with the skill tree but I don't think they are totally necessary either. As long as you get a steady stream of "oooooh" via new moves or toys, I'm happy.

For me it's a step back. But I understand people who like simplicity. Even so it will be a great game. Actually, the only good hack n slash on PC.

[nowhere man]

Horrible, eh?

Are you trying to say that Darksiders 2's skill tree or gear system was complex ? Lol.

just started playing and from what I have seen I can see why they didn't put it in. Combat is basically lead targets to one place, stand there, dodge their attacks and then wipe them out with your attack.

or even simplier... bait them, dodge them, wipe them.


That's just with the whip though... I haven't gotten very far yet. Hell, even the first boss is just a tutorial explaining via showing that this is less button masher from D2.

in D2 & D1, you could get alway to the end mindlessly button mashing. Then you come across a boss where mindlessly button mashing doesn't work and you got to actually learn the move sets and dodging etc. (I know this because that what I did. That was a bit annoying.)

I'n not even upgrading my health since it seems dodging is fairly easy and all you really need is some boosts to your attack or arcane strength

game has been watered down. not to mention the lack of puzzles like the last two games are another reason i won't be buying the game despite being a fan of both previous titles.

They went from two perfect 10's to a 1 ...

Nostalgic glasses? I do not think so. Show me where the shift is in the series. Darkisiders III is using nostalgic glasses. Why? Because it moves everything backwards.
Smaller endeavors, less enemies, closer to Dark Souls and its mechanics.
Just the loot system, the Skill Tree and the metrovania style make me more entertaining than Darksiders I.

Loot systems in games like these just add fake depth
