damn, I need some weapons like this for the crucible, but I am on the Xbox.
If anyone wants to give me some good weapons ( life steal or massive crit weapons, I'm more a Harbinger), I will glady aprecciate it.

tough decision trade in my DS2 for $40 toward Borderlands 2 or wait and play the new DLC? Game was fun but it's hard to pass up $40 back.

I'll send them your way when I'm finished.
The first time its ever happened to me was when I started using big picture mode so I'm willing to bet that's what it is. I'll keep that in mind next time I play. Thanks!

God, the loot drops are frustrating the FUCK out of me. I just want to get a weapon with health steal and I haven't come across ONE the entire time I've been playing this shit.
Anybody have any health steal scythes they'd want to dupe and send to me on the 360?

who the fuck thought getting the god awful turret/gun section of the first game, bring it to this one, and making it LONGER was a good idea? because god fucking dammit
brought the whole game down for me, big time
otherwise enjoyed it, but not blown away by it. I really need for them to move the story forward

Just read that there's a level cap which makes it impossible to reach level 25 on the first playthrough. Awesome. No way I'm gonna play this game again.

Didn't see it this morning on the 360...
Completly lost at the end of the Citadel in Act 3...I cleansed every black goo blocking paths and portals and all but now I don't know where to go,the Bird doesn't point me to anything,even with the pretty good FAQ over at Gamefaqs,I don't understand his last 2 paragraphs on what to do or go...
Well if you've cleansed everything, then you need to go back to the main room in the citadel where the huge statue is. The door at the bottom will now be accessible.
I was hoping the DLC would drop today, but I guess not.
Yeah,found it after a while...man the ennemies in the Black Stone are kinda hard compared to the rest of the game so far...
And I think I found my first Schyte in Phariseer,not sure if it's completly random or not though...around level 15,you should start finding some possessed stuff...

I was hoping it wouldn't happen, but I now understand the backlash against this game. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a solid experience for the most part, but it could have really gone about 5 hours less. The story is wonky, understandable as it is presented, but still very wonky. You're supposed to "become Death", but I've never felt like anything other than some happy-go-lucky task doer. I have no problem with side quests, but the main story beats should have been implemented in some more convincing way, an "all powerful horseman of the apocalypse" should never be just sent away, character after character, on mindless duties.
I enjoyed Darksiders 1 for making me feel like a real bad ass, a no nonsense, getting-this-done genuine ass spanker. D2 just, at every turn, leaves me feeling like a relatively powerless job hunter, which is the exact opposite of how this protagonist should be. A lot of this unfortunately comes from, and I hate complaining about these kind of things but it has grated against me from the start, the voice acting for Death. War didn't mince words and play around, Death has a silly accent and is constantly getting talked down to and cracking jokes. Maybe my vision of the universe they're trying to build was a little more dark, but they did a hell of a job taking it to an unnecessarily silly level.
The combat is solid and the platforming is fun as hell, if relatively simple, but everything surrounding that is just too silly and formulaic in the bad "quests for the sake of quests" kind of way. That doesn't have to be bad, but at least make the character and quests fit. Darksiders 2 just doesn't accomplish that, unfortunately, which is why you won't see it on any end-of-year lists of mine.

Oh my god I've been trying to do this one puzzle in the
. Infuriating. I've lost track of how many times I've had to quit and restart and Im still not past it yet.
Edit: I give up. I think I've tried like 20 times. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them otherwise this game is getting traded in today.
Psychameron with the three switches for like, half an hour. I know what I have to do but my dead lords keep getting stuck or flat out refuse to go trip the switches

I think I've done something really stupid. I'm about 11 hours in and got access to the
i warped out of there andd it took me straight to the
and I was then pushed straight into and a cutscene and taken
but I was so pissed off cause I wanted to go fight gorwood first. So in my anger I thought I'll just delete the saves and boot up my PS+ save from last night and I will have only lost about 30 minutes. I've done that and now I can see the saves in the cloud from last night but I can't access them!!!
Please tell me I can retreave my saves from the cloud cause I don't think I can face going through the 11 hours again even though I'm loving the game. Thanks

Try and explain where you are a bit more,I think I know where but not exactly....I really did not have any problems with puzzles until the last 2 Acts...also the first FAQ on Gamefaqs is pretty good in explaining those puzzles that need the Soul Splitter.

I know how to do the puzzle, it's a glitch.
I'm on one edge of a gap, on the other side are three pull switches. The only way to get by is to send over a dead lord to pull the switches in the correct order. I know the correct order. The issue is the dead lords either stop going over to the other side or get stuck, every time.

You can always go back to do side quests.

I took a (shitty offscreen) video of my one last stab at the puzzle after fast traveling out of that dungeon, then fast traveling back and starting at the beginning. It may be hard to make out but the guy gets stuck on the right side after pulling the switch. On the rare occasion he doesn't get stuck, he comes back but I am still unable to select the last switch. This sucks. I probably tried 30 different times today. I guess that's the universe's way of saying I was not meant to finish this game.

Have I encountered a game-breaking bug? In the Psychameron, in the room with the Skeleton Key chest, there are three switches you have to send the Dead Lords to use in a certain order. I used the middle one and it seems to have gotten stuck, as sending a Lord to pull it again just causes him to stay up there, the other two switches don't trigger the enemies as they should (I'm aware of the correct order), and when a Lord returns from having used either one of the said other two switches, it's not possible to highlight any of them again, even after summoning the Lords again. I've tried fast traveling in and out of the area, exiting back to the main menu, and restarting the game proper, all to no avail.
Edit: Never mind, after reloading the save for the umpteenth time, the switches reset themselves. According to the official DS2 forums, Vigil has been aware of this bug for a month. The fact it hasn't been patched, at least on the PC, is inexcusable.
Edit 2: Bloody hell, the switches are broken again. And I just realised Neuro is having the same issue.
Edit 3: I reloaded my save and accidentally did the the left switch first, which caused the gate to come down all the way but the pillar was still high in the air. I reloaded my save again and this time the gate was completely down and the chest was at floor level. I'm glad that's over with.

Fucking bizarre. I'll give it one more try before I trade it in at Best Buy. I can get $40 for it which, for a broken game I barely enjoyed at the best of times, seems fairly reasonable.
Dave1988

Then you may as well trade it in. The IGN vid said that the first DLC will land "within a few weeks."
good to know, then I will give it away.
If it helps at all, my ridiculous bypassing of the bug came about by attempting to follow this tip. As it says, you need all three switches to reset if you hope to progress; in my case, the middle switch was stuck, so I just repeatedly (no more than a handful of times) reloaded my save and sent a Lord over to the right-hand switch, until they finally reset.

Holy shit this game is jacked up. I finally got past it thanks to your advice. Somehow I was able to reset the switches, save, then pull the one on the left. The gate in front of the chest lowered but it was still up on the pillar, too high to get to. So I saved, quit and reloaded and is if by magic the chest was on the ground. Thanks man.
Vigil, you guys need to step up your QA game.
I just did the Earth section today and was expecting the worst going by comments. Total hyperbole as usual...wasn't bad at all. I actually enjoyed it once I got the grenade launcher type weapon, heh.
I think I have 2 areas left before I beat the game, and unless it completely falls apart, this is better than the first for me, been an awesome game.

It wont fall apart,the last Act,after Earth, and the dungeon after are awesome...I finished the game at level 21...the last Boss is a little easy though(playing on normal),I had more problems with the after Earth guy then him(trying not to spoil anything).
Where's the Argul tomb dlc?

Aww yeah. I decided to wait on getting Darksiders 2 so I could play it on Wii U, and it seems to have payed off. Being able to play Darksiders 2 from the comfort of my bed is gonna be awesome. I know the gamepad's resolution isn't that great, but whatevs.

As for sales numbers, I don't even know any of that info! I'd definitely love to work on another game in the series. =)
