Darksiders II |OT| What starts with War, ends with Death.

Damn that's crazy. I had almost written it off but that's a lot of dps on that. Might give it a whirl when I reach 15.
I use them simply to apply the DoT.
Claw attack x4, spinning scythe attack, claw finisher. Insane damage and keeps the DoT a-rolling.

I'm absolutely blown away by how much people care about detailed combat specs.
Not saying it's a bad thing, but personally I just mash up some combos and enjoy the ride. I'm more into the characters, lore and atmosphere of the game. Combat is just a fun bonus for me.

I just realized I need a Death figure, so he can keep my War figure company...
And yeah, the picture is terrible. =P
I'm still salty as fuck over Best Buy not giving me my war figurine when Darksiders launched. It's the only reason I pre-order from them.
Resistances boost your defense against elemental damage.
Not entirely sure what Arcane does but it might power up your Reaper based attacks and maybe your Necromancer skills.
Most of us are thinking way ahead into beating the Crucible. You need solid gear to beat it and its worth knowing which stats do what so that knowledge goes into making the perfect weapons and gear. Some people are even thinking ahead into Nightmare mode.
Some people just want to make the most OP Death on the planet.

Blademaster Talisman unlocks all purchasable combat moves for free (when equipped). I'll check for the other one. Don't remember!
Honestly, it's silly how you have big extra optional dungeons where the end reward is some random loot that most likely isn't better than anything that you already have. Getting some new thing to feed to a possessed weapon doesn't feel like a good reward for a full dungeon.

A lot of dungeons have rewards outside of just random loot. Boatman coins, hidden unique items, stones and a ton of gold/exp. One particular dungeon gave a crap ton of potions. The best rewards come from the elite bosses and rightly so because any dungeon that has enemy levels close to your own is not going to be that hard to begin with.
It just seems really weird to me to design a full dungeon and just put a chest with random loot at the end. Literally, I walked into the last room of the Bonedarrow and a chest spawned and I walked out. I don't think boatman coins and such justify a full dungeon, either. I feel like my time was somewhat wasted.

I'm sure this has been asked before, I just don't want to browse all these pages.
Is there a way to upgrade how many health potions I can carry?
And which purchasable combo moves are considered must-haves?

No way to upgrade potions.
And.. you'll have to ask the pros the other question. =P

I am having the same trouble I have with most loot games. I don't want to lose the stuff I have that looks cool.
Fuck your noise, I have a cape!

It seems a bit less be-all, end-all than it was in Darksiders 1, which is good. It was honestly so powerful in the first game that I rarely used anything else.

You don't get temples like the Lost Temple with SD graphics. Such a great game. In all the ways that Dark Souls was the shadow side of my soul, this game is the light side.

Regarding the Flip Saw: one thing I haven't seen people do much of is cancel into Meteor Strike and continue the combo from there. Even more ruthless is following a Hellraiser (which does insane damage).
Launch, X,X, delay, X (Hellraiser), cancel to Flip Saw, cancel into Meteor Strike, land, Just Frame Secondary OR another Launch etc...

Well, that's it for me tonight. Gotta sleep.
Good slaying, all!

Probably because flipsaw in DS2 requires more than just holding down X to execute. Still an awesome move.
Oh yeah, definitely. I didn't know about the chests, but as soon as I saw Vulgrim I said "why would I spend that much money now? It will mean less to me later."

I just got those earlier - they're pretty good.

I don't understand why this is 1) even in the game and 2) requires finite assets to do.

On Steam, I have 3 friends playing DS 2, vs. 17 that are playing Sleeping Dogs instead. :/
I need better Steam friends.

To be fair, sleeping dogs is apparently really good on PC. I have it sitting on my HHD right now as well. Just waiting to finish ds2 before I start it

Between Sleeping Dogs and DSII, and all the great downloadable titles, I wonder if August will be a better month for games than any of the fall ones. I know there are some good games still to come, but August was surprisingly strong, and I think the big hitters like AC, Halo and CoD are franchises that are wearing a little thin.
Man, I wish I understood canceling.
Even if you will hate it, use the gun.

I just wish that Death could move a lot faster at times. He's suppose to be lighter and more agile than War, so why does he move at roughly the same speed?
Even the horse felt too slow too me.

So yeah, just found out a bug with the possessed weapon upgrade system on my game.
I can't sacrifice items that is on the 4th column and below if I use my controller (pressing A doesn't bring up the sacrifice option) but if I double click using the mouse, I can sacrifice every item that is on the list.

The shotgun-shot oneshot the ghuls and 4-5shots the big ones, just to let you know.

I don't have that yet. I literally forget I have the thing.
......Well then.
I first fought him at level 12, and again at level 17. No difference in turn out.
What level were you? You're doing way more damage then me.
He is turning on Unstoppable.
I assume around level 20. I finished to boss off at level 15. It takes time but it is doable. Just stand on his legs and dodge like crazy.
