I found the perfect word to define this game: INMENSE.

Seriously, the first Darksiders is a tiny ant compared to an elephant.

Honestly. People really don't care.

The music that plays when you reach the central hub area of the second world is fantastic. It seems like stacking +Crit, +Crit Dmg, and +HP on Crit are the way to go. Anybody else using something different on their gear?

 

[rocK`]

haven't read any of this yet (in fear of spoilers) can someone answer:

360 or PC?

my PC is top of the line.

 

[dark10x]

did you try the MSI afterburner solution?

Yeah, no dice. There are literally pockets where the game appears to render at 30 fps regardless. If I remove the limits my framerate jumps to like 200+ fps.

Even with the problems, you should go with PC. It's cheaper and it runs better.

Wow ok...

Gorewood

is a bitch...even at level 5 lol

Yeah I was 4 when I first found him. I can only take 2 hits before dying but I think he's still beatable. It was tough dodging all of the attacks but I was able to get him to about 40% before dying one time.

Is there a specific point in the game I have to get to before I can see all my rewards (having a 100% completion Darksiders save, darksiders.com/mace, and the iPhone app)?
I have just

Perfect

They're angry they had to play a game longer than seven hours.

 

[Syriel]

I'm not really much of a potion guy so the health and wrath potions aren't really doing it for me. I would much prefer the game be balanced around resource regen and stats that increase that factor as opposed to what is currently present. I understand that with a finite amount of potions it's completely different than neverending regen, but still not feeling the potions.

I also miss Life and Wrath shards, but I guess they don't make a ton of sense in a loot based game.

If that's the kind of build you want, you can make it. I know I did.

Just have to choose items that feature regen or health/wrath generation on kill or crit. You can also

Spoiler

collect items that can be traded for permanent heath/wrath upgrades

.

I'm still tweaking the build to optimize

Spoiler

for Crucible bosses

, but against basic mobs I currently have enough health/wrath returning that so long as I keep killing my health return outpaces any damage I take. It currently only fails

Spoiler

against very fast enemies that attack at range (similar to Death) and high level bosses

.

You don't get the pre-order rewards until

you have access to the Tome. That occurs in the Forge Lands. It's just past (like literally around the corner!) from that first Maker you speak with after killing the Crowfather

I think you get that stuff when the game sends you to the first dungeon.

 

[Megasoum]

So did anybody who ordered from GMG get a Argul's Tomb code? I know the DLC is not you yet but when I booted the game it was telling me to make sure to keep the Argul's Tomb DLC code that I can find in the box for when it will be available...

You get it by talking to

The lady in town who sells you the trinkets and potions. That's where I got the DS1 weapons anyway.

 

[Salaadin]

For a game all about war, death, extinction, and the apocalypse, it can still feel pretty freaking peaceful. Dat music.

 

[black_vegeta]

Both.

A losing battle

 

[forrest]

Yeah I failed to mention in my first post with impressions just how good the music is. I was scared they had gotten rid of the dungeon jingle with you do something of interest. DS1 nailed it so when it took a while to hear it I was getting worried. Then "dun dun dun dun" oh yeah!

Also in regards to spoilers, if I posted anything that seems spoilerish let me know, I gladly tag it, though I didn't think I gave away anything with my comments.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

Such a great game only to be marred by some small tech issues and pre-order code fiascos. The preorder items for the most part are an absolute wash for many people. I'm not sure who dropped the ball of the delivery/functionality etc., but it's such a clusterfuck.

Completely fucking out of control.

 

[NullPointer]

So, no config file still?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Jesper Kyd is going to be competing with himself for soundtrack of the year - Darksiders II vs Assassin's Creed III. lol

Nothing for me yet.

 

[iNvid02]

i dont think it exists

and borderlands 2, that could be great too. dude is fucking talented

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

And...I agree when it comes to the quality of the music. So...SO good.

 

[forrest]

Completely fucking out of control.

Yeah it's really sad too as some of the game art community contributed to those items. If you aren't getting them when you start the game then there isn't much point to them at all as you'll quickly out level their usefulness.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Since the game came out, hdn and tragic have been MIA. Wonder why they aren't posting.

 

[The Wizard]

i dont think it exists

There is a "config" folder. It's just empty at the moment. :/

 

[NullPointer]

And I can't find any official reference to it on the official forums. Crazy.

I've entered three codes...and have no idea when I'm getting these things...and two more codes through email that tell me I need to register in-game to get the items and...well...yeah.

The truth of it is that the game doesn't need this shit. It's strong enough as is without all this confusing fuckery.

 

[ashbash159]

Should I play through the last game before playing through this?

 

[neoism]

Since the game came out, hdn and tragic have been MIA. Wonder why they aren't posting.

yep lol I would rather tragic tell us now no congif file ever we just lied to make money.. then have silence for weeks... :/

 

[QuantumBro]

Do you have $20 and 10-15 hours of free time, if so then go for it.

Since the game came out, hdn and tragic have been MIA. Wonder why they aren't posting.

One of them posted last night that they were off to Hollywood for the midnight launch. They'll probably be off for a day or two.

 

[tjohn86]

Steam down for anyone else?

It's up for me.


*EDIT* AAAAAAAANNNND now it's down

 

[Megasoum]

I just thought about something.... It's a complete guess and I can't try it myself right now but since it's the same engine, couldn't we copy the config file from DS1 to the DS2 folder (if there was one...I don't have DS1 installed right now so can't check).

 

[Wind's Howling]

It is amazing how music can change a game dramatically. In a good way.

Does anyone know where you enter dlc codes? I ordered from amazon, have a code for Deadly Despair. No clue where to redeem it.

Ya, tried that last night and said it was invalid. Steam network is all jacked atm too. I'll try again in awhile, thanks.

edit: nice try iNvid lol

Holy screen tearing, with it on in the menu. I tried overriding it with RadeonPro but it's still crazy

 

[The Xtortionist]

Will probably head to pick this up in a few hours. PS3 version alright? Comparisons to 360 version?

 

[soulassssns]

So have we figured out exactly how we get our Preorder DLC when it becomes available in about a month? Especially those of us that preordered thru GMG.

 

[QuantumBro]

When going through the second main dungeon did anyone experience issues with the brightness changing in certain areas?

Nothing on Digital Foundry or Lens of Truth. It's driving me crazy.
