MULTI Darksiders II (PC/X360/PS3) - What starts with War, ends with Death

[Derpton89]

Almost done downloading it, can't wait to play it! I loved the first part. I don't know why people hated it so much, I found it quite amazing. But then again, I like Hack n' Slash games in general. I wanted to pre-order the hard copy of the game for PC but I had no resources to ship it in Pakistan. I want that mask

Update 4 is out! It contains MOAR fixes & most importantly, Argul's Tomb DLC!!!

Size 3.2 GB, downlodin' now.

some bad moments make us happy

This game had plenty of those. What a disappointment. Coming off how awesome DS1 was I was expecting a lot more. Even the PC version people got shafted after the devs made false promises of optimization options.

 

[Radical]

Here it is!

The update has two dlcs infact, Argul's tomb & abysal forge!!

& Vigil has added awesome AA options + high res. shadows slider + Ambient Occlusion since the 3rd Update, ppl need to stop Abuses will lead to banin' about those now. (sm1)

 

[Chandoo]

Good that they finally made through with their promise after 3 updates shame the base game is still a disappointment though. Improved game play and all but the severe lack of attention to the lore established in DS1 was a huge sticking point.

 

[Radical]

Attention to lore? Are you high? This game was always gonna be a filler! They said it from the start it is set parallel to Darksiders 1.

Also, Why does 'lore' has to matter for Darksiders only, anyway? Why not look at what Resident Evil has become? Twisty Standards much?

 

[Chandoo]

holy shit Radical have I really made you that offended by making you look like a fool in other topics lol, not every topic needs to have every other game discussion brought into it, plz control your emotions and learn to stay on topic.

also did you even play darksiders 1 ? the game established a pretty good world, concepts, factions and characters. Darksiders 2 completely neglected any of that, so what if it's parallel ? that doesn't mean they couldn't have made a decent parallel running story. This game barely had any story exposition besides the intro and the outro.

Hell they didn't even touch on what happened after DS1's ending. That was the point most people were looking forward to in terms of story since DS1 ended on such a high note.

 

[Radical]

You only made a fool of yourself so far, comrade! lol.

This game has surpassed DS 1 in just about everything except for the story continuation part but that was never gonna happen in this game.

Spoiler: show

DS 1's ending is what happens after DS 2's ending in-case you had trouble understanding 'the lore' you so dearly speak of! The horseman of the apocalypse are shown after the seven seals were broken, War was already on Earth, that confirms what they showed in DS 2's ending, which was, their nmber shall ever be four! DS 3 is the real continuation.

 

[Chandoo]

Yeah sherlock I know what happened in the ending, you're missing my point of actually wanting the ending to play after DS1's ending, and not be the half assed way it was presented in this game so they have more time to make an actual story for the 3rd game.

All this game did was introduce Death's character and give him an arbitrary mission to "save War", though he hardly seems to do it. War is still hunted either way and Death just proceeds to kill himself to save humanity. There are no repercussions or story progressions shown because of his actions, they just very lazily left it for the next numbered game. The least they could have done is show the charred council doing some shit at the end at least hint at what the main conflict for the third game will be.

It's not like this game even ended on a cliff hanger (see God of War 2, Gears 2, Mass Effect 2 or even Halo 2 as examples of middle chapters that leave a tantalizing glimpse of what the next installment will behold, and sets up "the conflict" that is to be resolved in the final chapter). This game did not do it. It just replayed the first game's amazing ending and presented it in a stupid way.

Oh but they did make the game play more fun, that's for sure.

 

[Radical]

Argul's tomb is massive! The art is phenomenal in this game. The well thought out navigation puzzles of this game are as awesome as ever & it's a loot galore!

So much LOOT, lol, you will not ask more moar loot after this ppl!

 

[nafu]

will be ready by tomorrrow, love the game, its amazing

Abysal Forge Cometh.

30th October. Can't wait.

New content pack for Darksiders II - Gamersyde

 

[manigamer]

[h=1]Darksiders II Collectibles Let You Swing Death's Scythe[/h]

Facing the hordes of hell in a quest to clear your brother? Or just facing the hordes of the local convention center in a Death outfit you feel is lacking something? TriForce and Vigil have your back with a 1:1 scale replica of Death's scythe.

The scythe, fully licensed by Vigil and THQ, is a full-scale replica of Death's go-to weapon in Darksiders II, cast in polystone. It's also a very limited edition, with just 500 pieces available. It comes with LED lights and when we say full size, we mean it: it's four feet tall and nearly six feet wide. It'll cost $900.

If that's a little too rich for your blood, a statue of Death and his sidekick Dust can be be bought as well. Also with working LEDs, it's nearly three feet tall and will run you $600. But act fast: It too only has 500 pieces.

You can also get the End of Days version, a limited run of 150, for $650.

All three will be available in 2013, but you can preorder them now if you can't wait.

[h=1]Darksiders II DLC Unleashes ‘Demon Lord Belial’[/h]


The third downloadable content pack for Darksiders II will introduce the Demon Lord Belial. The DLC will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC starting tomorrow.

The pack is free for players that have already purchased the hack and slash game’s season pass. The rest of us will have to cough up $8.99 or 800 Microsoft Points.

THQ describes the content as an exploration of the remnants of humanity. The new adventure takes Death to a post-Apocalyptic Earth to encounter the last of humanity and one of his most sinister opponents.
So far, it’s unclear whether this DLC will eventually make its way to the Wii U. We’ve contacted THQ for clarification; we’ll let you know what we hear.


Darksliders II: Demon Lord Belial

This Darksiders II Statue is as Pricey as it is Rad




The new Darksiders II Death & Despair collector’s item looks great, but might clean out your wallet.

As you might expect, a statue this awesome doesn’t come cheap. Interested parties will need to cough up $249.99.

The tribute to Death and Despair has a pretty awesome feature to help justify the price.

The statue glows with unearthly flames that emanate from Despair’s ethereal body. The glow comes from high intensity LEDs installed in the mane, tail, and hooves of Despair.

Death, on the other hand, doesn’t glow. He just sits atop Despair and looks awesome.

The statue inspired by THQ’s hack-and-slasher is currently available for pre-order at State of the Art Toys. Shipments are expected to arrive in February.

Bumpy bumpy :bounce

I procrastinated this game so many times, and for so long that I forgot i had this game "unfinished". And i never leave a game unfinished (evil) Though it wasn't intentional. It was almost always due to a tragedy. I distinctly remember starting this game at least FIVE times, but everytime, i'd lose my near 80% progressed save game because of load shedding ... and the other, i'd simply not get enough time to finish it (because its a RPG as well, and it needs undivided attention to be able to extract maximum fun).

So this time, i am taking full precautions like:
- making sure the game is updated fully to its latest version.
- backing up save games manually, along with my every gameplay.

Moving on ... I have always liked Darksiders. The 1st one with "War" horseman being our protagonist, had a pretty good story and fun gameplay. Though i don't remember much of it as it was long ago, and i haven't written anything about it in my diaries

Darksiders 2's protagonist Death, has somewhat different persona. The 'wit' is obvious during his conversations and its mildly amusing too :tv: I see that gameplay elements haven't changed much ... which is a good thing.

So far i have reached, "The Cauldron, and have met with Karen". I am playing extensively ... as always, visiting all the areas, collecting all the secrets, basically not missing any opportunity for anything. Its time consuming, so i am guessing its going to take its fair share of time for me to complete this.

 

[FAIZY56]

Underrated game. I had a fun time playing it. I liked the first one more but platforming and combat was much better in second one.

And also this:
