They heard developers talking that their staff can probably [if they put time and effort into planning] can do 20hr speedrun of Darksiders II.
It's probably doable faster if you focus entirely on speed. We've done speedruns on individual dungeons (and we've done a few of them VERY fast!), but planning a speedrun on a 25+ hour primary-story game is a bit different. There may be (and by may, I mean, IS) an actual leaderboard stat for Fastest Completion Time... and Fastest Nightmare Completion Time. So I guess time will really tell =).
My question for Hdn/Tragic is:
Is it possible to finish the game totally ignoring all the sidequest and using lvl1 weapon?I really wonder what is the lowest possible char level for finishing the game...
You won't be able to keep your character level low - you get EXP just doing the main story quests. However, you can ALWAYS use low level gear. There is nothing stopping you from using the starting Scythe for the entire game. Keep in mind, the way the enemy health curve advances is pretty intense. You will get to a point where low level weapons will barely even be scratching enemies. Great for combos. Not great for actually killing.
This is definitely true. Every time I do a play through, I fight him at the lowest possible level. There are multiple enemies that you can get to early... but if you focus on what they are doing and take your time, you can absolutely kill them.
LOL!
Any chances you 2 can gives us a hint at what the DS1 save will do in DS2?
We have to leave some secrets for you guys *sheesh*!

Just read: http://icrontic.com/article/darksiders-ii-and-the-triumphant-return-of-pc-gaming
"On the question of graphics options, I was told by both Fitzloff and Everett that the PC version will have a fully tweakable config file as well as the standard in-game graphics options for various resolutions, settings, and options. However, if you want to get really deep, the config file will be there."
"The game is shockingly deep. Its far more than just a timing-based button-masher. There is a solid RPG element with character leveling, almost unlimited, procedurally-generated weapons (akin to Borderlands), armor, and other items. You can customize your build to a great degree. There are two major talent trees that open up a lot of character customization and playstyle preference options. The puzzling element is Zelda-quality (and when we compare Darksiders II to Legend of Zelda, thats a compliment, guys!), the dungeons are massive, the environments are insanely huge (and gorgeous!), and the voice acting is really good."
"To make things even more interesting, there is a massive amount of content. On the scale of the game, the developers estimated that there will be 40-50 hours of gameplay in here. After playing through about 10 of that and not even feeling like I had started the game proper, I can believe that. The world map is massive and we only got to see a tiny part of it. The developers estimate that, even a Vigil employee doing a speed run would take about 20 hours to complete the game. In a world filled with free-to-play games, we wanted to make sure that if you spend $60 on a game, youre getting a $60 game. said Fitzloff."

It's a Steamworks game, so chances are you might get your key, but won't be allowed to download it until the 21th.

Wait, is this true? isn't the loot like SOTN?
Ah equilibrium, what an epic movie. So underrated. I put it on my underrated list with Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick
I'd prefer sonic the hedgehog 3 and knuckles where the levels are the same but each character has different abilities and plays the levels differently. Saves development time by not having 4 different level designs.

What's the point in waiting specifically for a version on a platform you don't even own yet? Misplaced brand loyalty?
If you have even a barely decent PC, don't expect the game to be any better on Wii U, anyway.
So if I enter The Crucible with the starting Scythe can I have what would be practically a training mode? Please say yes.

Yes.
Can I hug you?

Why do you assume everyone wants to play the PC version? I have a GTX 570, still getting the PS3 version.
If I had a 570 I'd get the PC Version, my PC doesn't even meet the minimum requirements for Darksiders 2 lol
With a combat this good I'd really like to get a 60fps version if I could. I'll definitely buy it again once I upgrade my pc.
He seems to be interested in the exclusive features of the Wii U version. Not much has been confirmed, other than putting the inventory screen on the GamePad. We don't know yet if game can be played on the controller and/or if the map can also be put on the screen. Vigil may even have other things planned that we haven't thought about. The developer did admit that putting the inventory screen on the gamepad is just “one small part” of their work on the GamePad controller. There likely won't be any graphical changes, so if that's what some people are waiting for then, they'll probably be wasting their time.
If I had a capture card I would do Combo Videos so freaking hard.
Yeah, I'm half expecting reviews to report that it's seven hours long and ends out of no where.

Yea but I don't have a PC compatible controller, nor do I want to lug my giant PC tower to the living room everytime I want to play.
Do it with your cellphone. This game deserves a bigger community. Before I joined GAF (when I played the first game I wasn't a member) there was no one for me to talk to about the game. It's so sad when you find out something as awesome as Crossblade Canceling and have no one to talk about/teach them/pick up new stuff with them.
You can always go crazy and buy a really long hdmi cable.
This sucks, I had a Darksiders save on the 360 but it was stolen and now I will get this for the PS3.
I hope is a not a badass weapon or Gear, Vigil, you heard me?
There is a save file on gamefaqs for the PS3 version, but I don't know if that would work.

Because if you have a possibility to play what will most likely be the best version of the game, there aren't reasons to not to.
Your choice strikes me as weird, but I'm not going to argue with that; on the other hand, the point is that at least you already own a PS3, you aren't waiting for a PS4 version while planning to buy one someday in the future.

We are looking into doing a quick pre-release video that shows some combos... just for the combat guys. Nothing too fancy, but more of a "oh, you can do stuff like this" type thing.
We'll see how it goes!

I built my PC like four years ago, I doubt it can run any of "today's games" as well as a console-optimized port. Besides, my computer's half way across the room, built into my desk, where I use it for "computer things." I am not interested in wiring it to my TV.
More of a console gamer anyway, and I want things to play on my Wuu when I get it. Especially with Miiverse and all that, I'll be getting as many of my multiplats there as I conceivably can in order to be benefit from that network, any graphical perks, and fancy controller times.
I had Madden preordered, and I was somewhat unsure about this game. I played a bit of the first one but traded it in before I finished to get something else. I just recently rebought the first one but haven't had time to play through it yet. Still though... I'm probably gonna cancel my Madden preorder and pick this up. Pretty exciting stuff here.

Of course there are reasons. I'd have to buy a controller. That's extra money there. I'd have to disconnect my PC tower from my office and carry it to the living room every time I want to play and carry it back since it's our main PC.
Not worth it.
I'm personally waiting for the Wii U version too. I have way too big of a backlog at the moment so there's really no rush for me. I'm interested to see what they do with that version.
I just wish they would put out the first Dark Siders on the Wii U as well as I haven't played that yet either and it would be nice to stick with one controller and also to get whatever added feature the saved game adds.
