When someone mentions the Darksiders series, what comes to mind? If you're thinking of fighting games with big tiddy succubi and vampires and shit, that's the wrong series. But if you think of a bunch of mediocre action RPGs without much of a shared identity other than the Rob Liefeld-ass Biblical art direction, you're on the right track.

I've finished them all but I wouldn't call myself a fan of this series. Each one is pretty much a janky mashup of gaming trends when they were released starring a 90s comic take on the Four Horsemen. The first is pretty much Zelda meets God of War meets Devil May Cry with a Portal gun. The sequel adds in an open world, with more side quests and RPG elements following the likes of Skyrim and Mass Effect, plus a Borderlands-esque loot system. The third one is a straight up Souls-like, probably the worst I've played other than Lords of the Fallen. Then there's the most recent one, a Diablo-like top-down co-op hack-n-slash called Genesis that I decided to check out recently. And I think I've finally found something to appreciate about this awful series.

There are a few reasons why I could never take Darksiders seriously. For one, the general aesthetic where everyone's either a gnarly demon and/or epic badass in a fancy suit of armor loaded with skulls is a turn-off for me; which is also why I could never get into Warhammer 40K. Also the lore is inconsistent between games, as if the developers don't care, then again with the IP changing hands since THQ went bust I wouldn't bother either. Most characters, particularly the Horsemen you play as, don't have much personality other than "grizzled warrior guy", even the token female Horseman in the third one. It seems they tried to compensate for this in Genesis by making Strife a wisecracking, fourth wall-breaking goofball gunslinger type in the vein of Deadpool and Dante. It's fucking insufferable, and don't even get me started on how fucked up the subtitles are with typos and bad timing.

Ok, that's my rant out the way. Ladies and gentlemen, the one saving grace in Darksiders: Genesis, as you may have guessed, is a four-armed demon waifu named Dis that talks like a sultry Black woman. And goddamn, I can't remember the last time I saw a character with this much cake in a double A (at best) western game.

Dis serves as a merchant you unlock in the hub area after you complete an early instance of the series' trademark "get a magic artifact for a particularly shifty demon before he decides to help you" missions, where the magic artifact turns out to be her soul. She doesn't have much plot relevance after that, but in a series so devoid of sexuality it's a relief to come across that huge demonic ass and be reminded that yes, sex does exist in the Darksiders series. Even after how boring the depictions of Lilith and the literal embodiment of Lust are in the other games. Dis, meanwhile, has at least made a dent in the R34 world.

For some reason, Rodin from Bayonetta is a popular pairing for Dis. I mean, I can see Rodin being into BBWs from hell, and Dis does seem like she'd risk it all for some angel BBC. They'd definitely come to some kind of agreement. After all, tjat'ts how nephilim are made, right?

If you ask me, Dis deserves to be on Lady Dimitrescu levels of adoration with the R34 to match, but it's a shame that unlike her, the game (and series) she's from largely isn't worth the attention. But what do you guys think? Drop your thoughts below!
