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.

Yeah that's right. You start off with the pause on first hit combo and you can buy the pause on 2nd and 3rd as well as a pause in the air. You can also get dash attacks and launchers for each weapon too, although there is a universal launcher so you don't really need them

Yay for having to use P.O. Box because your town is so small they don't deliver the mail.

Man I really hope we get a high res texture pack in the future. The game looks great but it could be better...gonna try to force some AA and Vsync through CCC. But man I love this game (I know I said it before already).

no chance of that happening, luckily the game has a great art style imo which makes up for it somewhat. still, its disappointing to see pc ports like this in 2012.

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

Right, but you can redeem the code now by going to http://community.darksiders.com/tomb. The issue is this:

"In your copy of the Limited Edition you've received a printed code, please enter that code in the field that reads "Enter Your Printed Code", enter your email address, country and desired platform and hit submit and you will receive your redeemable code."

Is there a code in the printed versions?

Quick question.

In the first area, I see a lot of small shards usually placed really high. It's pretty obvious that I can't reach them yet, but I just wanted to make sure.

It seems like a need a gun or something.

So they just lied to everyone in the past when they mentioned it? Someone linked an article about that earlier in the thead...see if I can find it.

Gbraga what are you smoking man? You even bought combo strings in Dmc4 for Red Queen. This is nothing new and the move purchase system in Ds2 is very similar to Dmcs, there is nothing to worry about there are free form combos on top of pre-defined combos.

Ign remains a joke. This game is goty quality.

PS3 version is running pretty smooth so far. Haven't noticed any screen tearing, frame rate dips or any other glitches. Maybe later?

Also, dash-canceling into an air combo is sick. The combat is awesome, guys.

I wonder is the Ps3 version has a better framerate than the 360 one. Managed to play like an hour of the xbox version and it's like 26-28fps pretty much all the time.

Could anyone who has bought the PS3 version share some impressions about framerate?

Odd. Another users in this thread said he saw "slight" tearing. I guess maybe it does matter what kind of TV you are using.

I asked earlier, but does it matter if you have a 60hz LCD from a 240hz LED? Maybe that softens it. I dunno.

The amount of people who are paying for free DLC on ebay is staggering. I kinda wish I would do the same things with all the free DLC I have, but I'm just not that needy.

IGN review is fucking joke. Saying that the boss fights are the best part of the game when most other reviews say that's maybe were the game is lacking.

I don't normally care about their review-vomit, but this is just so dumb.

Yes, I was wrong indeed, I was thinking about stuff like Izuna Drop when I read "buy combos", I got too used to "combo" as in the combo videos, didn't think about simple strings also being considered as combos (which they technically are)

Honestly the game feels smoother than the PS3 version of DS1. Like I said though, I've only done the first major dungeon.

YESSSS

Please test out if dash cancelling before the last hit of a crossover string, getting the stick back to neutral and hitting the button again is a valid way to keep your combos longer.

Do the combo count still go up if you do so?

I'm playing it via HDMI/1080p, on a 42" LG LCD/60Hz. Still no screen tearing and I just beat the first mini boss.

I've been panning the camera around with the right analog stick just to check. So far so good.

Hmmm. Maybe the bigger the tv, the less its noticeable. I have a 23" 1080p monitor. The game only uses 720p though.
