Would anybody mind adding me on PSN? I need somebody to help me unlock the Pay it Forward trophy.
Huh. Didn't happen for me. Do you need to get one of those THQ accounts for it to work?

Yeah, you need to tie your Steam account to your THQ account I believe. I think the option is on the main menu in the game.

Finished the game today. Even though when I started playing the game initially I switched the difficulty to Apocalyptic as soon as the game gave me the ability to hit the Options menu, I only got the Steam achievement for Normal. What a gyp
Had a lot of fun with the game though. I skipped a lot of the sidequests and collecting to avoid burnout. The first two worlds were definitely a step up from the last two, and the unpopular
section really was as horrible as everyone says. I recognize that the first game was probably a better package overall, but the core combat mechanics in the sequel give it the edge for me. Will definitely be on my GOTY list.

Well I beat all 100 waves of the Crucible in one sitting, and I don't think I got the reward because my 2h inventory was full :|
Wave 101 was kind of a joke; game is full on easy-mode now. Life leech Scythes + wrath leech claws (from the DLC) and I have full bars of both health and wrath at all times.
Whirlwind scythe attack crits for 28-30k, chain casting it pretty much breaks the game I think, lol. I think I would have preferred if it wasn't quite as easy to do.

Whoops..I might have got rid of those because I thought they were trash..will have to check..
So anybody know if theraes more DLC planned for DS2? And if so what sort of schedule have they talked about?
Literally any reference for DLC I could find through google related to Arguls Tomb.
I assume (and hope!) theres more robust DLC planned with more achievements and all the rest. Just a couple of huge kick ass dungeons would be rad.

There are two more chunks of content coming and it seems like they will be priced at 10$ (if bought individually) so I hope they are a bit meatier than Argul's.

Check your Serpent Tome. It should be there attached to a message from Vulgrim.

So I just picked this up on Amazon and loaded it into Steam. However upon starting the game I'm getting this strange visual artifacts/glitches. I haven't kept up with the game so I have no idea if this is widely reported. Anyone have some advice?

Does anyone knows if the Draven's Axe Training Skill is fixed?

Execute is when that little icon appears on their head and you press O/B/E to finish them off. Doing that gives you Health/Wrath. Those attributes aren't that good without high execution percent.
Hey guys, I need some advice, I just bought the PC version of this and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to run this @ 60fps, I can't believe I just finished BF3 campaign on ultra settings and 4x SSAA 90% of the time with solid 60fps and this drops to the low 40's in combat, what the fuck?

I logged in yesterday to try and claim this. Is it not available in Australia?
Most items are randomized but some unique bosses drop legendary items that are not random. You can look them up online. Best place to level up is the crucible when you unlock it, otherwise just play the game normally.

Just wanted to drop in and say after buying Darksiders 2 I really enjoyed the game. It really does improve the shortcomings from Darksiders 1. Boss Fights this time around are all unique and a lot more fun. I know the game seems easy, but I think its a combination of your gear quality and what difficulty you play on. Because with most RPG's good gear equals easy mode. Really hope Vigil games has the time and money to really make Darksiders 3 game. I really like the Darksiders universe and feel like there is a lot of potential.

I think it's time to double-dip on the PC version. $20 on GMG and the Season Pass is $4. The experience should be better than it was on PS3.
Season pass is $4? Console buyers getting a shit taken in their chests for this game.

I got Death Rides + the Season Pass for 3.40$.

Save $15 on dlc that isn't even out yet. This season pass stuff is wacky.
As soon as I reached level 15, which is when you can equip Crow Scythes, I got a new pair of possessed scythes. Seems about right.

Errr, fighting in the Crucible doesn't actually grant you any XP unless they've changed it with a recent patch.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Platinum #119 for me.
Thank fuck it's over.
Good game, but my god 2nd & 3rd World/Hub Area... I get the death motif, but GAWD DAMN, my head/eyes just were longing for some color, no more fucking skulls in game for me at least for at least 2-3 monthsEarth Part
Need to fucking recuperate.
It took me till 3rd World to hit level 30... (so 1.5 play-through, going 50 hours total for Platinum)
The best part about the damn game is a glitch or devs didn't care or wanted to players to figure it out
The weapon upgrading was fucking sweet
I spent at least 10 hours wasting my time away duping/stacking/%+ on certain categories
That shit needs to be a staple Yo'
Pics to show you the emphasis:
My Death:
Scythe (Primary) Stats:
Glaive (Secondary) Stats:
Abilities:
Unstoppable + Teleport Slash = 1-2 hit kill

Bring out Ghouls, refresh Wrath with-in a second
Best damage was 25,000+ in Crucible with Secondary
Posted it in Trophy/Cheevs-GAF thread, brought it here too
I have to admit the OST was amazing
It has earmwormed into my brain, I miss it already =/
Track 22 - Plains of Death will forever be burned into my soul, that guitar riff
I sometime would leave start screen to that music and doze off sometimes... so good
Just finished the game, and now listening back to the soundtrack which is exceptional. I don't see why they cut so many bits of music though. The guardian theme is the best piece in the game, and I can't find the tune that plays in the ivory citadel either. I suppose it's because of the limits of the CD format that tracks are left out, but it's still disappointing.
Anyway, really enjoyed the game despite the Earth section and the game constantly freezing up on me as well as some bloody terrible frame rate dropping.

Started the game today, and just finished the Drenchfort and talked to wotshername (the forge lady at Tristone), who told me to go look for her brother's hammer in the Shattered Forge, and to go find a guardian in the Lost Temple. Should I find the guardian first, or should I go look for the hammer first?

Finally getting around to this, really loathing the second realm. Should I just stop here? The "get me three of these" is getting pretty tedious, and the dungeon designs have also gotten dramatically worse.

That's approximately where I stalled: in the second world. At first I appreciated the stark contrast between it and the first world, but the fetch quests (and having a dungeon associated with each part of the fetch quest) really started to take its toll on me. It's a shame because I was so excited for this game, too.
It doesn't really get better from there on out... The first world is the highlight of the game.

anybody have a good pair of scythes that have health leach they'd be willing to dupe/send to me? RoninChaos is my gamertag on the 360.

Next dlc is dropping Tuesday next week. Swampy jungle environment with 2 dungeons? Sounds good to me. I'll probably give the Death Rides dlc that afternoon too.
