Darksiders 2

Great review!

[RaijinUT]

I am really interested in this game... but I will probably hold off getting it until Steam or Amazon puts it on sale for less than 20 bucks.

I killed Gorewood at Level 6. Take that Gorewood. Stupid tree.

I messed up my skill points. There doesn't seem to be any reason to put more than one point in the early skills. They don't do any significant damage because they're not percentage based.

You can respec though.

Yeah, I did once I killed Gorewood. I think it a bit silly that you have to pay to respec in a single player game, but whattya gonna do. It's much better now that I can switch between the dash and the dead dudes.

So, where is Gorewood? I'm trying to find these kills but I can't. I was thinking I was missing some item to get across certain parts but you said you killed him at level 6 and I'm at level 9!

[tarvis]

Hi! Lemme check.

I'm pretty sure he is in The Weeping Crag mini dungeon thing. I don't think I have fast travel yet, so I can't go easily get there to check.

Double edit - Oh, a Darksiders wiki has been updated. Yeah, definitely The Weeping Crag.

[Denoku]

Hmm. Yeah, I was looking around The Weeping Crag but I didn't see anything. I'm not sure where this mini dungeon is. I went from the beginning of the area, into the forest and towards where the very first dungeon was and I didn't see anything. Then my game froze. So, I'll try to figure it out tomorrow.

You should be able to fast travel by highlighting an area and hitting Square. I'm not sure it's an acquired ability. It just randomly told me while I was in a dungeon.

[tarvis]

Yeah, I missed it the first time when I was actively looking around then just kind of stumbled onto it later on. One of those hidden in plain sight, deals. I blame the field of view! He drops (dropped?) a level 10 weapon, so at level 6 I could barely do any damage with my scythe. I was able to kill him using the charge attack (500~ damage per) with a glaive.

This is why I like the 360 games. Every save can be copied. And thx for the warning. Now I know I'm not getting it for the ps3.

All I want to do is play the damn game I paid full price for upstairs and downstairs. Games deserve a point off review scores for that fault alone. I guess I'll be playing Sleeping Dogs upstairs.

For what its worth, the PS Plus cloud storage let's you copy all saves but it limits you to like once every 24 hours or something like that. I find it to be a good product all around. For 60 a year, I have more games than I could possibly play.

So far IGN seems to be the only review that gives it a less than good score.

So far I am enjoying it and the hope of getting better loot keeps me going for the next thing.

Are possessed weapons explained in the game somewhere? I only knew about them because of the Giant Bomb podcast (maybe it's mentioned in the Quick Look, too), but didn't think about it until I started selling some weapons and I saw that I had a possessed scythe. Started feeding it weapons, but screwed up by, for lack of a better term, wasting a +crit weapon.
Giant Bomb Jeff had mentioned you feed weapons and then it gains those abilities, but after I fed it one and nothing happened, I just started shoving everything into it. Then I saw what he meant when it leveled up and I had to chose between a strength bonus and a crit bonus. Ended up going strength since I had no idea which one would actually add more dps, but knew my strength stat was pretty low. So hopefully that does.
I'm hoping at a certain point I'll be flush with cash and can buy preferred stats from the shoppe.

[Denoku]

The only explanation I've seen is when you pick up your first possessed weapon.

[Moefiz]

Will be picking this up on Saturday..has anybody experience any bugs or glitches with the game so far.

I am apparently not very observant. I was probably too busy being angry about that key I keep picking up.

I tried to fast travel out of a dungeon last night but it didn't seem to work. I pressed "A" to switch the map, but it didn't do anything. I assumed it would show the overworld map and then allow me to go somewhere else.

The cloud storage is garbage. Garbage! A paid service that doesn't even auto sync saves is just gross. Copy protected saves? Also garbage.

If neither of those things change before, or heaven forbid after, the next console is released, that'll be in - sane. Insane!

Anyone playing on the PC?

I am hearing that the PC game is full of bugs right now. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I would like to pick this up, but I'm leaning towards the PC version right now. Reason for that is I am stuck in Denver all of next week on business. Darksiders 2 would give me something to do while I'm in DEN if the PC version isn't busted.

And I don't care about the lack of anti aliasing, anisotropic filter, ambient occlusion, and FXAA on the PC. I understand this is a game built for consols, then ported unlike the PC sobs that are out there bashing it.
