Il 20 dicembre è uscita su PC la seconda patch di Darksiders 3. Gunfire Games scende in campo contro le critiche ricevute per le differenze nel combat system rispetto ai titoli dell’ormai scomparsa THQ. Ora sarà infatti possibile scegliere fra la modalità “default” e la nuova “classica” quando si verrà a caricare un salvataggio o si avvierà una nuova partita. Gli sviluppatori stessi affermano che la modalità classica restituirà lo stesso feeling dei primi due Darksiders; con questa modalità classica infatti Furia potrà interrompere gli attacchi con la schivata e usare gli oggetti in modo molto più rapido. Insieme a questa modalità classica, l’aggiunta di qualche checkpoint e un consistente miglioramento nella capacità di afferrare le sporgenze da parte del nostro personaggio abbiamo anche altri miglioramenti che vanno a compensare i difetti più gravi del gioco.
La patch notes
Improvements:
- Added new option for Combat. Upon loading a save or starting a new game, players will be prompted to choose between “Default” and “Classic” combat. “Classic” mode should feel more like previous Darksiders titles allowing Fury to dodge interrupt her attacks as well use items instantly. “Default” mode is the original combat mode for Darksiders III. The option can be changed at any point in gameplay options while playing. This has no other effects on difficulty or achievements.
