Just wanted to report what I believe is a bug . I was off collecting pieces of the
at the area where there are a lot of Gravestones (The Crossroads ?? I forget the name) .
Anyhow, after a bit of exploring and trying to figure out how to get up to the piece, I could no longer select the Shadow Mask, I hit up ((repeatedly after being annoyed)) (where I had it in my Inventory) and it would do nothing, it wouldn't show as selected. It would only show the last item I used which was the crossblade .
I tried reloading the save and the same thing would happen . It was only fixed by going back to an older save that was thankfully close to where I was at .
Great game, hope a sequel is in the works .

Making my way through the spider place now. Holy fuck as cliched as it is this really one of those games that get better and better as you go along.
was incredible. In fact just ridiing Ruin around the whole Ashlands area and fighting the other spectral horsemen in fantastic. Everything feels and controls just right.
In the spider place though Im stuck. Im fighting the huge spider with the frozen crystals on its back (after you break the sealed door by beating the other spiders). I hookshot the corpses and feed them to her but then no matter where I attack her it makes no difference. I spent half an hour hitting her head and then another half an hour hitting her back. WTF
EDIT @ nvm. I use the gauntlet on the crystals. God damn it man use your head

Yeah, the puzzles are really good and it's a pretty satisfying feeling finding the solutions to them.

I spent what felt like 8 hours on the dungeon with
...my goodness I felt like an idiot there. This game is great though. Combat gets better and better and I'm actually a big fan of the art here.

Dark FaZe said:
The art is really great. As someone earlier said, Joe Mad's art translates perfectly to 3D. The beginning of the game is quite underwhelming in that department though. Not very indicative of how the rest of the game is. That goes for the gameplay, too. Darksiders is a lot like Assassin's Creed 2 in that the rest of the game is much better than the first hour or so.

Well I am certainly feeling stupid right now because I am dying in the area in Scalding Gallows just so I can grind levels on the weapons.

Really picks up when you hit the first dungeon. I'm just calling everything in this game by its Zelda name. I'm Link. My helper is Navi. I got the Boomerang and I use Bomb Flowers. Of course the game keeps calling it different things but the game is wrong.

I can't say enough good things about it, the only complaints I would have are minor technical issues. I love the art style, voice acting, narrative, environments, atmosphere, structure, exploration, controls, camera...

Saw the thread, watched the Quick Look, now I'm kinda interested in this game (had no idea it existed ~20 minutes ago). One question though, how is the PS3 version? Equal or...?
Danne-Danger said:
Apparently it's slightly better version right now, because it has minimal screen tearing. Versus the 360 version, which has insane screen tearing.
However, the Vigil Games has already confirmed a patch will be out soon to fix the screen tearing issue of the 360 version, so soon it'll be one of the better multiplatform efforts that have come out this gen. Truly an impressive inaugural effort from Vigil.

It is strange and offputting. Considering the game took me almost 20 hours on Apocalyptic. Just finished up and confirmed that the only strange FMV is during the intro. The in game sequence that played during the forging of the sword was pretty damn cinematic and had a great comic book style to the editing. I'm really confused as to why they decided to use FMV at all.
And holy shit at the ending. So damn satisfying and hopefully this sells enough to warrant a sequel. With all the studios closing down and getting absorbed into EA/Activision/Square/Ubisoft it's nice to see Vigil and Rocksteady creating two amazing new experiences.

Good to hear. I'll definitely pick it up once it comes down in price a bit.

Holy fucking hell my game is glitched beyond hell and backwards. I cannot go further due to this bug. It basically comes down to me reloading my one hour ago save, and replaying all I have done until now, which is basically half a dungeon. Maybe the entire dungeon. Who knows if this bug will reproduce in the same spot or not? Right now I don't feel like playing this tonight anymore at all.
What happened : I activated an elevator in one of the dungeons
and waited till I was all the way to the top.. War dissapears and the camera goes into a funny angle, next thing I know I'm back down at the bottom, like I just fell, and I just see look up and see the top part of the elevator ( no bottom ). Very fucking fucked up. FUCK.
A blight on this otherwise great game.

Ok so after spending an hour dying intentionally or unintentionally I accidentally beat the arena and the boss because apparently you can counter pretty much every single attack.

Only need one more Abyssal Armor piece. Where is it

Yeah that place. You can block the charges from the riders and you can block all of the boss' sword swings as well, its actually pretty easy. The hardest part is trying to not get swarmed to death by smaller enemies.Papercuts said:

damn i was getting my fucking ass kicked when you fight all those angels (when the big scottish guy is helping you) and i wasnt even getting CLOSE to killing all of them. then i realized you could pick up their ray guns :lol

I guess I just never find fights difficult enough to warrant using it, at most I just start using the sword instead of try to level secondary weapons.Papercuts said:
I didn't really mind that much because you get 500 or 1000 souls for finishing one.Amir0x said:

Ah finally found a perfect place to farm weapon levels. Its in Iron Canopy, its a room filled with 15 or 20 spiders right next to a level streaming checkpoint so they respawn every time you cross it.
Edit: Ok so it took 30 to 35 minutes to level the tremor gauntlet from level 3 to 4.

Anyone else find it odd that
Samael didn't show up again? Guess he'll show up in a sequel.
Ninja Face, please fucking spoiler tag that. Thanks
Also anyone able to help me with this part in Black Throne:
edit: got it nm
Also anyone able to help me with this part in Black Throne:
I'm working on the 2nd beam for Azrael and I've encountered this room with 3 elevator looking things and 2 cubes. Clearly I need to get to the top to open the door with the key but can't seem to figure out what I need to do to get them up higher.
