Can anyone please list all of the difficulty settings in depth?
Like for instance, easy, normal, hard, apocalyptic, then nightmare.
I'm trying to decide which difficulty to play on, for recording and uploading it, and whether that should be a feature/focus of my series.
(eg: Darksiders 2 Walkthrough on Apocalyptic: Part 1)

They are warning people about spoilers btw.
Easy - Easy (unlocked at start)
Normal - Normal (unlocked at start)
Apocalyptic - Hard (unlocked at start)
Nightmare - Enemy damage and health is same as Nightmare, but you have only 1 life and no retries. Needs to be unlocked.

Screen tear every time the camera pans around. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Really ruins the gorgeous art style.

All I know is apocalyptic was locked until after you completed the game on the first Darksiders. It wasn't all that hard either, especially with all the upgrades carrying over.
No it wasn't. I selected it on my first run. Stacked my difficulty achievements on Steam, too.

Are they showing 360 version or PC with 360 gamepad?

PC Version. I'm guessing they forgot to turn on vsync. BTW, OMG gotta stop watching now because it'll spoil the rest of the first game for me (seeing all the cool new features and stuff). Back to epic Darksiders 1 gaming session now.

I hope you're right. Like I said in this thread, Steam says 8 hours for me, and I'm on the East Coast. I don't want to wait 3 hours for Pacific guys to catch up.

I've been hearing about this game a lot lately, can someone tell me if it's more like God of War or the Splatterhouse remake?
We saw in SDCC gamespot footage and giantbomb quicklook [they are under same roof now] that game also had tearing, but they attributed that to their capture hw. They ALSO played non-retail version [we saw that in IGN footage today ].
I really hope that retail PC version will run fine.

damn those big sites make it hard for normal streamers to get any success,lol.
It was mentioned on the previous page that tunelbear does not respond anymore with Steam. I have borrowed paid version of VPN software, and it works for me [it switches to $ and shows US times].
What Splatterhouse game? Its more like a combat heavy Zelda than a GoW game though.

I was misled!
That sword looks like an Axe.
I think that is an actual in-game weapon. I got mine for steam, but you can also get a PSN code if you want. Not just 360.

Not only that, but it's not even for your avatar. It's for your character. I was wrong about 300 different ways.

Sounds like a wuss. Even I can wield a sword. Two of them even.

Can't wait to start playing, but since I had to go with PS3. I guess I'm going to have to deal with the tearing. I was so pumped when earlier they said no tearing it all on console versions, then watching videos and streams you clearly see it does tear. Oh well. Patch please?
To everyone who missed today's IGN livestream, here it is:
http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/08/10/ign-live-presents-darksiders-ii
Action starts at 26 min mark, they show two optional side-dungeons, crucible and opening tutorial. Tragic is playing glorious PC version on Apocayptic difficulty, he even manages to die. In crucible section he showcased fighting system with more detail.

Framerate looks fine, too.
EDIT: Wow, either Gamespot's capture stuff really is awful or they forgot to turn on Vsync, it's tearing up worse than the console versions!
Oops! I actually watched it already and totally forgot.

As a little gaming-video guy, I definitely feel the pain =)
Some of the bigger YouTubers can push out crap content, but still get tons of attention, while the little guys like me (I'm at 2k subs), have to work really hard promoting our videos, etc.
just because we arrived late at the scene/feeding frenzy =(
