Anyone with the steam version have any issues getting access to Argul's Tomb? The official instructions say to enter the code printed in the LE edition.... I wrote THQ and was like this the digital version, what freaking code.
Still waiting for a reply.

As annoying as IGN can be sometimes I think this is an overblown comparison. Someone can like Zelda on Wii more than they like DS2 on 360, it's just an opinion. I personally don't think Uncharted 3 deserved a 10 but IGN gave it one. Big deal, I can always make my own opinions of the games I play.

Not very good at all in my opinion.
Dodge is left ALT, which is awkward enough for me to just drop KB+M and use my xbox360 controller.
Xbox360 controller is great, controls very well.

Not seeing the problem here. You judge the game in relation to the other games on the system it's on. You don't review Zelda: Skyward Sword and compare it to games on the PS3/360. You compare it to other Wii games. However it's fair to review and compare Darksiders 2 with other games on the PS3/360/PC.
Also if a game has bugs it should be taken into account for the review. It shouldn't be ignored because it can be patched later. I really hate it when those things are overlooked.
I expressed concern before that the size of the world could be a problem. Looks like it is.

pretty sure the side quest dlc is suppose to come out 30 days later

The fact that Skyward Sword got a 10 in the gameplay section is enough to see that it's a joke review.
I don't think the dlc's out yet.

The currency in DMC is almost entirely devoted to buying moves and occasionally items
Anyway, for DS2 you have predefined strings but they can be cancelled out of with your secondary weapon and there are moves that come out when transitioning between weapons.
It's in not at all limited
CVG review
The verdict
SCORE
7.5
Darksiders 2 is a sweeping, brutal sequel with an incredible amount to sink your teeth into - but, like the first game, it spreads itself too thin.
CVG UK
UPPERS
Thousands of armour pieces and weapons to loot
A 30-hour story with a massive world to explore
Customisation and skill trees lend RPG-lite elements
DOWNERS
Convoluted combat requires blind speed over finesse
Death moves at the speed of a Segway
Platforming's functional but unimaginative

But the major point of her review is how she completely disses Darksiders 2 as a Zelda clone and how "it isn't as good as Zelda" almost the entire time. That is why the final scores are funny because she even goes to say the game is too long, yet Skyward Sword was maybe even longer and HAD less side stuff to do, and IMO, far more repetititve.

I got the same feeling from part 1 which is why I enjoyed it so much.
So...?
This has nothing to do with a combo list. I even said that the best ones provide you moves and abilities instead of predefined combos.

... uhh this game does the same thing.
She didn't review Skyward Sword though. Rich George did I believe. If she did review both games I could see the problem but that isn't the case here.
Ok then fine. I got led astray from the comments claiming she did.
Still the same site. They should still have some form of continuity on their reviews.
That's what I thought as well, before the post I quoted (by toasty_T), where he says you buy combos in the game.
Are you guys even reading the things you're quoting making fun of?
Oh man, is this why they haven't emailed me yet? Fuck!

Oh dear
Yes, I have been.
Look at it this way. The combos you buy in this are the same style as dante's hit hit pause hit stuff you bought. There are still other moves you buy and most of the items you find along the way as well as skill point skills = single moves to use. There are other moves to buy that are not combo based as well.
Your starting tool set counting your first free move you get.
Is a dash foward dodge attack, a launcher after any attack, charge moves off your heavy attacks in the air and ground, your standard hit pause hit hit stuff. Special mid combo moves that only come out if you go from weak to heavy or heavy to weak

You can buy combos, but as I said already you have plenty to work with from the outset
DMC and pretty much everything does this so I was wondering why you were at all taken aback that you could buy more moves
There's a good scythe attack from a forward dash which is free. That definitely gets a lot of use

I'll say it: DS1 was way too long. Sounds like DS2 is too. Granted, I suck and had to do many encounters multiple times, but still....I got a life, and this late summer/fall is *packed* you know?

I pre-ordered the game on Steam with the Prima eGuide, but the prima guide is not working. It keeps giving me an error every time I try and access it. This is the first time I've used Prima eGuides... and it's NOT a positive first impression. Can anyone corroborate these issues?

The review scale for Zelda games starts at 9 and ends at 10 though, right?
I am not saying by any means that the game will be bad because of that. Bayonetta was a fantastic game and it had this same thing where they gave us both predefined combos and the ability to cancel between them at will, being a hybrid between dial-a-combo games and free-form combat games. I'm sure it will still be a great game, I was just disappointed because I expected otherwise.
I wasn't disappointed because you could buy more moves, I made it very clear that what bothered me was the fact that you bought full combos. I even said that the best ones gave you moves and abilities...

Impressions please!
already got it and I think it downloaded but I bought the game from THQ store and I have no clue when I will be getting the game since i didn't get a tracking number.
So the predefined combos are just like the pause combos from DMC? There are not many of them as well? If so, I'm really glad.
It seems like you guys misunderstood me as if I was complaining about the "buying" part of it. I don't have a problem with that, it was the fact that you'll be buying whole combos instead of moves that bothered me.

Any idea of where you can log into your THQ account on the 360 version?

There are 3 that I've seen. One for the air that is a relauncher, and 2 on the ground one for single target one for aoe
