One of the bonus weapons you can get has a % of health return on hit bonus. Not sure about othersSo far, I've just seen HP on crits and the dash gives you some HP back.
But yeah, I keep running out of potions. I guess that the key is just not to get hit.

I got an axe for some reason (think it might have been for having a DS1 save) that gave me 15% lifesteal which is pretty absurd. There's also health on crit as well as couple moves that return health
I'm not having any trouble keeping my health up on apocalyptic. Just remember to break everything for potions
I meant
the big giant thing that I was putting the gems into. Once I got them all in there he got mad and ran off. Karn said go after it but it just stepped out of the dungeon like it was nothing. Can't recall which direction.

see that is not an option for me I have every system but I wanted the PC version with config options and FOV changes... if they were honest I would have waited for it or not have gotten it.
It seems like it is a little. My bigger issue with the reticle is that it seems to speed up when you are close to your target and then it moves past it.

I know it doesn't help you now, but maybe it was something they thought would be ready for sure for launch but something fell through? I don't think they outright lied just to try to deceive people; they've been really cool in here. Again, I know it doesn't fix what it doesn't have at the moment, but I'm sure there is a reason why it happened.
But they say you can enter it now and they will email you the code once it is available. I've also seen someone in here post that they confirmed theirs worked.

Whatever the reason is, it sure as fuck aint here on PC. Maybe they could have given somebody a head's up before they blew $60 bucks on a shit PC port. You can't even map the buttons, and sometimes those buttons aren't even correct(took me forever to figure out how to get to the damn overworld map, click the LS instead of the A button, what the hell?

Eh I've been playing the game nonstop since launch on pc. I just slapped the FXAA injector in it. Not really getting any screen tearing, not hiccups and everything is smooth. Game looks nice.
I knew what to expect and it's exactly that. So no complaints from me. Call it a shit pc port all you want but it's still far better than the console versions just like part 1.

You can map buttons if you use m/kb. You've never been able to remap the pad controls.
I gotta say, War was way more badass than Death.
A chest? PUNCH THE SHIT OUT OF IT!
A door? KICK THE SHIT OUT OF IT!
Death, on the other hand? Oh, I'll summon my prissy little ghost hands to do my bidding, because I'm not badass enough to punch the shit out of chests like my brother.

I hope that's true and its coming ........... we will see.
I don't believe you can trade away the pre-order gear.
Sidequest.
1) You need to redeem it on the THQ site.
2) You won't get the actual AT code until closer to release when the tokens are available.
Yes. Quite a useful stat for major fights.
That is the
next boss fight. You need to head back out to the big meadow in the center of the map and get all SotC on his ass

Wait. Does the PS3 version really run natively at 1080p, or just support it? Back of the box. If 720p is in red, then thats not really true 1080p.

Thanks! I shouldn't have to force it then. I have a 1080p monitor, and my PS3 is set at 1080p. Games that use that, automatically start in 1080p.Schweinehund

So far I like war better, I like his voice actor (illidan and others, go figure), his armor and sword look more awesome, and he seems more likeable + ruin is 10x more bad ass. The way he moves it looks like he has a lot of power behind him, he's kind of like a two hand warrior archetype.
Death's humor is kind of wierd, he just likes being a dick but he never laughs or anything. I'm not that far in the game though, only 6 hours. The way he moves reminds me of a monkey, he's kind of like an agile character archetype. Not really into the death/scythe things as much as I am badass runeblades and plate mail.
If we get a sequel I think I'd prefer war over death, but multiple campaigns/switchable characters would be best.

Ideally all of your display's supported resolutions should be checked then let the game decide which is best to use. For example, in Uncharted 2 and 3's case forcing 1080p made the game look blurrier than native 720p.

Don't they usually let devs take some vacation time/celebrate after they launch a product?
Probably doing something other then working.
Pre ordered this for PS3, for what it's worth for those still on the fence about the game - what is lacking in the graphics department is more than made up for by the art design in my opinion. In terms of gameplay if you're fluent in bayonetta or ninja gaiden combat you won't necessarily be "challenged" throughout the early parts of the game on Normal difficulty, but the combat is fluid and satisfying enough to become addicting. In terms of the story: historically I'm not big on video game stories, but this game has drawn me in, I will say that. The pacing of the story so far has been consistently captivating - no downtime for me to lose interest.
One question for GAF: I preordered my copy from Amazon, but did not get my deadly despair pack code. Did anyone else get theirs already or is that something Amazon will email me later???

Still here! Just been doing livestreams all day for the past 2 days. I'm back in Austin tomorrow at about 9pm cst. Hard to reply to all the posts on my phone, but I havent gone anywhere! I'll see if I can get online tonight.
Can't you just force the settings you want via your graphics card's drivers GUI?
I was actually surprised at how good the 5.1 sound was in Darksiders II for me.
Maybe it's just a driver issue for you? I didn't have to do anything, it just worked for me when I started the game.
So in the readme in the Darksiders 2 directory it mentions DX 11 support. But I am only able to run it with DX9. Any one have any ideas what this is all about? Also some of my textures are extremly low-res. I cannot imagine that it is intentional.
I am kinda shocked at how much worse this game looks than the first.

Nightmare mode is the real way to play this game (after you've beaten the game, of course).
Well.. technically neither hdn or tragic lied on Neogaf about a config file. Unless I missed a post, hdn only mentioned more graphical options, and tragic deftly evaded the question as easily as Death evades a monsters blow.
hdn post
tragic post
Matt "THQSledge" Everett (CM), aka PR goon that will say anything to get you to buy the product
and
Vigil Studios Associate Producer Jay Fitzloff, aka possible PR goon that will say anything to get you to buy the product,
are the two that apparently lied.
Either way, I'm pretty pissed. I don't know if I'm more pissed that I fell for PR or that they lied about it.
Why would you be pissed at falling for it? Fully customizeable graphics options on the PC are the norm, if he said they were going to be there no reason to think he's wrong.
Turns out he was wrong.

Well, I'm also upset that we got no advanced configs as promised, but holy shit, I'm playing this game @ 1080p with 2XSGSAA and it's the most beautiful game I've ever played, I'n not kidding.
The attention to detail, the dungeons, the art design... really, really impressed.
And Death is so much fun to control than War... awesome job.

Are enemies suppose to disappear entirely once you clear a dungeon? I just got the quest to make a talisman and I went to the first dungeon and I couldn't find a single enemy. Any ideas on what to do.
1. LB on controller or Alt using keyboard.
2. Press F12.

If you're using Steam press F12 to take a screenshot. Otherwise, I don't see why PrtScrn wouldn't work as usual.
I tried it, just wait for your wireless receiver.
Because I don't know if I'd really consider an assoicate producer as a developer instead of someone that happens to work at one heh aka pr. Originally reading the article I kinda glossed over the title and was just happy a config file was supposedly coming. So, in a way, I saw what I wanted to see.
