I feel like the whole LB to bring up menus would work much better on a ps3 controller than a 360 one :/
edit: apparently not lol

Is nobody else getting this bug on PC where you get stuck after exiting the map screen? I just see a big blank nothing and I can't do anything except alt-F4. It's rapidly ruining the game for me considering it's happened 3 times in the last 15 minutes. All I want to do is look at the map...
Yeah I have to aim the crosshair up and to the left for it to be on target.
I was having an issue of exiting the menu and my controls would quite working. Turns out I had installed a few windows updates earlier and forgot to restart. Once I did that it went away. No clue if that relates at all to your problem sorry.
The game hangs for me there for a bit. Like 5 seconds or so. It also hangs when I exit out of a Vulgrim conversation.

yup had that too, i fixed it with going to nvidia control panel, going to manage 3d settings, adding darksiders 2 to the list of programs and making sure power management mode was set to "Prefer Maximum Performance". Seems to have fixed it
Yes.
It's really not that bad and you can always use your middle finger for L2 if it's really an issue for you. I do wish there was a lock on "toggle" option though.
There IS a lock on toggle on PC version.
While I am not playing on the controller, I am one of those weird people who uses triggers with the middle fingers and shoulder buttons with the index. I used to think other people were doing it wrong..... then I saw that the majority of players play their games like that especially shooter games. I guess this is the result of me gaming so much on the ps2..

Man, the aiming cursor in the PC version is so LOL. You have to aim just to the left or just above everything

Do I have to play the first game, or the story is somewhat unrelated ?
You don't have to play the first game but the story is related. The 2 games run in parallel with each other.
Nah not really (but it's still a great game).
And I still shake my head every time I open the inventory screen.... That super low res 1998 version of Death they got in there is just stupid lol.

My one irritation with the combat.
Yeah, gets me every time. It's not something that they could have missed so I wonder why they left it that way.
Would to leave hear the reasoning behind this, too.

Haha, glad to see you finally got your copy.
Btw guys I have a question. It's a bit OT but since there's a lot of spoiler tagging going on in this thread it's been bugging me. Is there a reason why there's no spoiler tag button in the text editor (similar to the URL or Quote buttons). It's annoying to have to manually type the tags each time. And I'm surprised that there's no chrome addon for that...maybe it's time I finally look into making my own chrome addon lol.
I am really enjoying this game so far. This feels so much better than the first one.

- sense of scale
- Death's voice

All are awesome.
I have to say though, I think I enjoyed the first environment more than the second one. I just moved to the third environment,

lostlight, and was promptly teleported to Earth.
Holy shit, really? Never saw it.
You know I'm really curious why they omitted the use of R2 while traversing to increase your speed. It worked great in the first one and if Death is supposed to be more agile than War, then it's a no brainer. As is, feels odd.
okay, just played my first six hours, and completed
. Game is certainly enjoyable and playable with m/k, although lack of graphical options is truly bollocks. I'm not too enthusiastic though; while combat is solid enough, puzzles are LOLworthy and bosses are laughably easy, tactically speaking. World is massive but not much stimulating
all in all, I'd agree with the 7.5 given by IGN

This game really has four worlds.
Four worlds.
Feels like I've been in the first world/area for ages now. So many things that I can't reach that continue to taunt me. Is there no double-jump?!

Where in the menus is that? I don't see it.
Does anybody remember where the Bone Vault in the second land,
Kingdom of the Dead
, is? I found all the pages I need but haven't had much luck finding the place. I know I saw it earlier.

I'm in the same boat. Just finished it (20 hours~).
The IGN review sums up the game rather perfectly, specifically the blurb from MC:
IGN said:
Nope.
Press O for the menu, go to the controls and just check the key for toggle lock on.

You're dead to me.
So you're saying that after 6 hours and 2 dungeons, not even close to half of the game, you can state a solid opinion on the game?
You might want to do at least the main questline before giving a final opinion, don't you think?

Hey So I have a QQ..
I am still early on in the game, and I am working on restoring
area and in the area, is that
Any ideas???

Tri-Stone
serpent tome, and when you access it, you can get offline gifts, and then it says Xbox LIVE inbox, which I assume I can send or receive gifts from someone on XBL, but every time I try to access it, it says I have to change my family settings, and I checked my XBL settings and they are currently OFF.

I know so convoluted. Should've been RB/R1, and dodge should've been placed to A/X so you can only roll once locked in.
Anyone else sacrificing second-hand talismans to upgrade their possessed scythes?

Btw, the game is buggy.
Here I am, on my way to The Cauldron, and here's Karn, fighting baddies. I join him, we kill'em all. At this point, a cutscene is supposed to trigger, but after killing the last enemy, I find myself just standing there, Karn not doing anything, unable to talk to him, had to reload to the last checkpoint.
And that was just over an hour into the game.

Well this is nonsense it looks like the toggle is on a kb/m only. That's ridiculous.

Yeah it's easily the worst part of the game. 100% filler trash.

D3DOverrider will not open on my system. It appears in the task manager, but no settings window or anything opens. Not even in the system tray.

I can't imagine long, consider the ghouls must be made of paper mache. =P
So don't. You can play that section without any of the
new guns
shoot some of the trapped angels and perhaps the three staff pieces, but those things are *everywhere* so play as normal and snag one of the guns right when you need it
I've had to reload twice due to two similar bugs. (360) I had a boss phase cutscene fail to trigger (which broke the encounter) and another dungeon cutscene failed.
was expecting this reply, you're probably right. Wasn't meant to be a final opinion but yeah , shouldn't have put a vote
Has anyone actually finished the game on Apocalyptic? People are saying Normal is too easy.
Is there a big diificulty spike at any point? I will be starting the game tomorrow, and I really don't want to change the difficulty once I start. I'm vacillating between Normal and Hard. I'm pretty good at 3rd person action/adventure games.

I'm not telling you not to give your opinion, just give the game a little more time. (Literally.)
I mean, it DOES have issues.

Finally got a chance to start this and it is great so far. I love the art style.
