Not what I know of. I also wished there was a toggle. Using powers feels akward because you have to let go of the targeting. But then again the powers are designed to work without lock.
Aren't there bombs hanging from the bottom part of the moving containers?
Karn throws you there. If we're thinking of the same place? Not sure.

ugh lost already
should I be following that bird thing? ie the purple dot?
also its weird hearing about bad tearing, for me is not tearing at all just set vsync on and through an HDMI out from laptop

The miss-aligned target reticule on PC is really bugging me.... It's not game breaking but when you get a bit further in the game you have a lot of bomb throwing and shooting and crap like that and it's really annoying to always have to aim next to where you actually want to shoot. It such a stupid bug to leave in the game...
Click the left stick and Dust (the bird) will show you where to go.

If you have a good PC I would definitely recommend to buy it. It's glitchy on all platforms, but playing this game with a solid framerate AND with VSYNC fixes and FXAA injector, and playing with a Gamepad, is the way to go.
Thank you! I play without my glasses on because of the lack of AF and I didn't see!

it is worth buying... but i would have waited for a sale if I really knew about the game I hope there is a small chance they will patch some of the terribliness out .... 20$ would have been better. A long game isn't good when 20 or 30% is filler... still liking the game a lot, got 20 hours in and I'm at the filler part in world 2. i would have loved more combat as is it enemies are just peppered here and there. I bought this game based on the combat and the loot, and the fact I was expecting a PC game....
What a jolly fine review, sir!

I haven't had the game crash yet, nor have I've come across any bugs/glitches, course I'm only 7 hours into the first world, at the foundry.
Other than the tearing, it looks and plays great. It must be hard to enable vsync on consoles, or at least the PS3. Very few games on PS3 that doesn't have some sort of tearing.

Sooner or later you'll hit a bug/glitch. This playthrough or the next sooner or later. Doesnt take away from the game at all though. It's great

If there are 5 worlds and the first world takes approximately 6 hours how freaking long is this game if you want to go for the 100% completion rate?
Don't see how it's filler. At least not for me. So far I'm sticking for the gameplay and every hour of that counts. And Darksiders has always been about a mix of gameplay, like puzzles and traversal. Just like the first one.
Also, I bought it from GMG with a coupon so it only cost me 37 bucks. Cheap enough for what the game offers. I still agree though that the game has way too many glitches which is unacceptable.
Very long. Completing everything requires a NG+ though so it's a little cheating because of that, but on the first playthrough the developers said about 50-60 hours.

I beat it 26 hours, but I didn't do everything. And there isn't 4 worlds in this game, there are 2 full sized worlds and the second half of the game is mostly dungeons.

There are two full worlds and then a few dungeons and, bizarrely, a shooting gallery

mixing that is fine the makes good pacing but I'm taking about something EatChildren said in his review
I'm glad world 3 and 4 are smaller and the
shooter part in W3
RPGCrazied
Member
I thought there was 4?
Not that I'm particularly surprised or dissapointed (I'm halfway through world 2 right now and the game is fun but I wouldn't want to be only 50% done...) but I guess that means that this is another bullshit form the devs since they kept saying that there was 4 worlds and that the first world was bigger than DS1 and yet was still only 1/4 of DS2.... Fucking PR bullshithing.

That is pretty much what I thought, I still enjoyed the game though.

I mean, there's four "worlds", but the first two are MUCH bigger then the other two, and kinda just boil down to a few dungeons(mostly very fun ones though!). And again, this rather bizarre shooting gallery that goes on forever and isn't very good at all. You'll see what I mean when you get there
phantomspiker

Eh, I didn't really mind the shooting section...still I was hoping for
a bigger Earth world

These environments are really impressive.
On the other hand another negative is showing it's face, my enthusiasm to explore is getting diminished because it's usually a place I can't advance because I lack an ability, I pretty much stick to the main quest now.

I think that is the part where you have to push a huge pillar under the elevator on the first floor to access the second floor.

Yeah I'm watching it right now...let's see...
Edit:...man all those loadings on console must be really annoying...
Edit2: Well fuck me...
There's a bomb on the back side of one of those two hanging grab point? Ugh I thought I looked for bombs everywhere...
I'm just before the point of no return and I have a bit of a dilemma...
I'm missing 6 pages and a whole bunch of stones/artifacts. I am going to have to essentially run through every area all over again so I am wondering if I should just do that in NG+ anyway?
Is there any reason to finish all this stuff now before starting NG+?
I think I am missing a load of side quests too actually.

I got digital version of the soundtrack with the CE version of the game, and I have to say that it's pure ear candy.
The first game had a "serviceable" orchestral soundtrack -- it did its job perfectly well, but very little about it was memorable.
However, for the sequel, Jesper Kyd appears to have brought his "A Game". The soundtrack probably defies easy description -- its a mixture of traditional orchestral, Africa, Middle Eastern, Latin American, and Asian rhythms and NOT AT ALL what you'd expect from this kind of game.
Synthesizers, electric guitars, steel drums -- pretty much a large range of instruments are used for the soundtrack and it WORKS! This stands up there with the Max Payne 3 soundtrack as one of the most enjoyable that I've heard in quite some time!

Oh be quiet Neoism.
FUCK... Now I think I'm REALLY stuck...
I managed to get the column in the elevator room but it got stuck on the floor right at the entrance of that room... I get the grab prompt from only one side and it does nothing when I hit B... and I can't do anything from anywhere....
Awesome, why didn't I think of that... Thanks for the tip!
It's sad that this is actually a good indication of the state of the game... At least I didn't have to go play with my save files to try to work around the issue.
