Next stop... GamesRadar at 4:00pm pst.

Another new area of the game, or something we saw already?


edit - repost for the new page:
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 three 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.

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.

Well my code for Steam isn't showing up even if it says that I can redeem it.
It's just "Your Rusanov's Axe code is:" and then it's blank :/

Yeah same. Guessing it's currently broke as there seems to be quite a few complaints on it.

 

[InternHertz]

Europe - PS3 works at least. Just need to wait for the game to be released here though

Holy shit couldn't you guys have spread this out through last week. Seems a bit overkill for you guys to do all these in one day o.o

Do you have adblock on facebook? Deactivate it for a moment, maybe that works.

It's the best way to create hype. Hype for the real game, not for PR bullshit

6 HOURS!

Doesn't work, also tried with different browser
thanks for the suggestion in any case.

 

[tragic]

LOL... I dont make the decisions. They just send me out and say "go here!"

 

[Gr1mLock]

Im about an hour in. Really liking the beginning.

 

[insane0hflex]

6 HOURS!

Oh wait, since when is it EST for unlocking? That means I get to play at 8PM =)

 

[Salsa]

sucks that I'll get the key once it's out will play tomorrow I guess

 

[Gunsmithx]

Man this needs to release already, been avoiding all the videos so I don't spoil myself... so excited

 

[RPGCrazied]

When do reviews start flowing in? I mean from IGN/Gamespot and Gametrailers?

 

[BY2K]

Tomorrow morning, I'd guess.

I don't care for scores myself, but I hope it's something between 8.5 - 9.5 for everywhere for the sake of sells

 

[DieH@rd]

Darksiders II is #4 on Amazon game sales rankings [#2 for Xbox 360].

Forbes interview with JoeMad

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Either the level design in the 2nd dungeon is awful or I'm just an idiot

 

[RPGCrazied]

tearing aside, do the 360 or PS3 version have any AA or anything? Hard to tell.

 

[perineumlick]

I have a busy night ahead:

 

[soulassssns]

5 hours left and counting. LOL

 

[Blu10]

Just finished the ign preview, and cannot wait for tomorrow. Fills my loot fix, combat and art look amazing ( I'll make a judgment call on dungeons once I start). What I'm looking forward to is the next one releasing between September and November, when it can compete against the other massive franchises...it deserves it.

 

[Keasar]

*Sigh* I hate living in Europe....

Why do we have to wait a whole week? We can speak english, just give us the same versions as the americans! Or, well, most of us at least.

I live in South America, we live even closer to the States and we get the same release date as you guys. Makes no fucking sense in a digital era.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Sweet. I got possessed scythes.

Since almost no one has played it you are not an idiot.



Yet..

 

[Vee_One]

Pre order price on aus steam store has increased to $80 (was $50). Extra $30 needed to push that data down those tubes.

Nah I'm kinda dumb


Omg this is soundtrack of the fucking year. It's incredible.
Is it on ITunes yet?

 

[tjohn86]

How punctual is Steam when it comes to releases? Can I expect this to really release at 9 PM PST?

Yeeeeeeeeeah, I wouldn't count on that timer being correct.

*EDIT* It could happen though, Orcs Must Die 2 released on time.

 

[Dominican Power]

Is there a demo coming out?

 

[Twie]

Anyone get that Facebook weapon code for Steam to work yet?
If not I guess I'll just wait until it (hopefully) gets fixed.

Not working? is it entered into steam or ingame?

 

[Mairu]

Note to self, don't preorder off the online THQ shop even if the bonus is good or the price is cheap

I hope I get the key at some point, I probably should abandon the idea of being able to download any of it before it "launches"

Wait... There's a facebook game somewhere to unlock a weapon?

Their rep posted on the Darksiders site and said 9:00pm Pacific time tonight. So yea, go ahead and abandon that idea now.

Good ole Jesper Kyd.

Jelly of those who are playing already =(

They actually ran out of Steam keys. Check their last post on their FB page. We'll have to wait for the next wave.

 

[Megasoum]

And the stream just died on youtube...it keeps buffering, unwatchable.

 

[Derrick01]

Unless GMG fixes their key shit with Sleeping Dogs in the next 2 hours then it looks like I'll be playing this first tonight. So uhhh...bring on midnight I guess!

 

[Peterthumpa]

As far as I know, pretty on schedule.

Same boat as you. I replied to my last email informing them I wouldn't be doing any more business with their digital distribution service until they can provide pre-load benefits that other competitors are offering. I'm guessing I'll either wake up tomorrow and have my key or may have to wait till afternoon. Either way we will find out, though I'm hesitant to stay up hoping for it to show up after midnight.

Guess I won't be playing at all until tomorrow after work unless I get some super lightning speed download time. How big is the download anyways?

Yep, I really should just stick to buying from Amazon or Steam direct. I thought preordering from the company that makes the game would be safe. Not only will I not be able to preload DS2, but I also ended up preordering Sleeping Dogs from green man gaming and they've been having issues getting the keys out to everyone. Oh well, no games for me tonight.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

Embargo's at 12EST right? Thought I saw a tweet stating it.

 

[rybrad]

Click to be sad.

Around 6gb is what people have been saying I believe.

I found a quote on the Darksiders forum in regards to the keys purchased on THQShop

So, I tried to preload the game on steam and it says "pre-load suspended" I have tried to resume it and it keeps saying that. I even click "play" and is says "decryption key error" or something like that. What gives?

It's doing that to everyone.
