Darksiders 2 new info! [one month away from release]
- Thread starter DieH@rd
- Start date
Don't want to see spoilers but what do they say?
They say its 1% better than their 92% review of Darksdiers 1.
We need to wait for some reliable western reviews [gametrailers, edge, giantbomb].They say its 1% better than their 92% review of Darksdiers 1.
So if Vigil can keep that up they'll hit 100% before long
looks like by the time we get western reviews we'll be too busy playing the game to care lol.They say its 1% better than their 92% review of Darksdiers 1.
Giantbomb..reviews...reliable.
Ok..I admit. I laughed.
I'd laughed more at gametrailers or IGN.
I really hope Darksiders 2 does not suffer from this issue.A week before release.

LOL yeah don't get it too insane, as good as this will be don't expect it to be the second coming and get mad when a solid ass game doesnt meet a crazy expectation x.x/
But who knows this could be the DMC3/Bayonetta of action rpgs in terms of quality o.o/

The only review that made me buy a game was a video review on Kingdom Hearts II, I didn't knew the franchise before, never even heard of it, but I really like the gameplay footage shown in the review so I got it, played 16 hours nonstop, then I stopped and got KH I to understand what the hell was going on.
Seeing how ridiculous the wait for KH III is and the amount of spin-offs, I really regret that. So yeah, don't really care about reviews.

lol Yup same I have plenty of "low rated" games because I find them damn enjoyable. I already know darksiders 2 will blow part 1 away I'm just hoping for the mass public to realize what a good game this is. I want Darksiders 100 god damn it. Okay maybe not that many XD

Still shoulder armor though. So yeah no chest pieces. Obviously it gets in the way of his fluid movements or something
Yup, just gotta wait for the community bar to fill up to get that sweet, sweet hammer!
ah so even if we get all the souls we have to wait for the community to fill before we can claim it?

I'm sure they wanted them to, but THQ probably couldn't spend the money for it.

So just for those experiencing freezing or jerky frames even though you are getting 60 FPS try this. Move the darksiders install from your steam folder to your desktop and launch it. This amazingly worked for me after reading about it at the darksiders forum on steam. This makes no sense in the slightest but I am good with this.
About to playthrough Darksiders for the first time!
I played enough to know I loved it its just my backlog is insane and I never came back to it. I have preordered the 2nd game based on the hype/previews/reviews. I read someone's reply to me and they asked if there are any preorder deals for pc. There are. I don't know them all, but I went with preordering from THQ for the free season pass (which will be $20 I believe on its own) which gets you all the DLC being released for the game for free. It also comes with "Argul's Tomb DLC: Day 30 content pack with additional gameplay". Link below. I just hope THQ doesn't go out of bussiness and there is no DLC.

IGN is laughable, but gametrailers is almost 100% inline with my views on most games.
I used to respect GT reviews too, but recently they have made some very stupid claims, and their scores are inconsistent to what they say. Like, some games they can downplay the lack of story alot, but on games like Gears they don't even mention it. Some games gets called out for being unoriginal, but then CoD comes back and they don't even care.
I agree. They have made some bad claims in the past as well. I can't remember many off the top of my head, but their ignorance towards the PC platform has irked me before. That being said of all the sites I read reviews at gametrailers, and eurogamer are the ones I trust the most.

I'm keeping my expectations in check, but I'm quite confident I will like this game.
After all, I'm not even asking much: as long as the game isn't worse than the first, I will enjoy it. Anything above that point is just luxury.

Yup same honestly, the first game was my game of the year in 2010 and really fed that old school game feeling I was missing for a long time. I love min/maxing stuff in most things I do where I can, well to the extent I pick a play style then make the most of it, so them adding all that customization stuff is like a literal wet dream for me x.x
I'm expecting the game to be at least 1.5x better than the first one, anything more than that for me is going to exceed my expectations.
Yeah the actual lock stays locked until your soul bar and the community bar are full.

what is this app and where can i get it?
Eh.
I'd really like to know how Joe Mad took THQ choice to go with a marketing style (boxart, trailers, the later covers) that has little to nothing to do with his style, his vision for the game, that's colourful and comics-like. Seems like a lack of faith in your own game from the producer to me.
Any comments from devs on that?
I'm glad I watched that, pretty good commercial, a tad fast/quick cuts though. More importantly, watching that led me to a video I didn't know existed. I was wondering when they were gonna do an unboxing of the CE and apparently they already did.. back on June 22nd... I don't know how the hell I missed that. I can't wait to fondle... erm display that mask.
Careful watching, shows some pages of the art book at the end.
CE Unboxing
Lololololol...
Can't say I disagree, even the new one has mediocre level design mechanically.

Man that Preview is amazing! Some quotes I really liked.
They say its 1% better than their 92% review of Darksdiers 1.
Im not waiting for one single review, im waiting for all three of them to build [for me] reliable picture about the game.
For me, gametrailers usually hit all the points, edge is harsh, and giantbomb almost always aligns with my taste.
that tearing and framerate
the reviewer even says that tearing is an issue.
What version?
360 version in the video. (it shows the 360 buttons, so it could be the pc version with 360 controller. however, gamepro is a console only mag)
I just saw few seconds of it, and yeah. Tearing is really present.
Maybe its because of their recording equipment, but if they mention it in review... then... that's another story. Also, there is a small chance they are not playing final code, but I don't think that is the case.
So what you're saying is Vigil Devs...
