DarkSiders II

Re: DarkSider II Dicussion Thread

The pics look great
Lets see how it launches in E3

Re: DarkSider II Dicussion Thread

I think it is Q3

And, this game goes to the must play list. With War, its pride. With death.. I think that perspective will change. Hope they will fix the rough edges that cramped the 1st game a bit.

Re: DarkSider II Dicussion Thread

^^Guys after looking at the screen shots do u think the graphics is optimized then previous one?

also did u all completed Darksiders?

Re: DarkSider II Dicussion Thread

Re: DarkSider II Dicussion Thread

^^Oops

YouTube - ‪Darksiders 2: Official Announcement Trailer‬‏

Re: DarkSider II Dicussion Thread

Well, the story should begin where it ended in Darksiders , there were 3 more horseman coming and the Horseman wants to continue the war with the help of others.

Its a must play game with combination of things from various games. I am waiting for Darksiders II !

Re: DarkSiders II Dicussion Thread

Re: DarkSiders II Dicussion Thread

Re: DarkSiders II Dicussion Thread

Your wish has come true.

Re: DarkSiders II Dicussion Thread

Already bought it and last boss fight is left. I don't feel like completing this game because it's just so awesome that I wish it never ends.

Info
The game will reportedly take place across an entirely new ensemble of maps, confirmed to be double in cumulative size to that of its predecessor. The game will also feature the remaining two horsemen (Fury and Strife) in some capacity. The game will take Death across multiple dungeons and city hubs. City hubs feature NPCs who can give out side quests etc. In the July 2011 issue of Game Informer, the cover feature details that one city hub will connect to a number of dungeons and that one city area will feature more dungeons than the whole of Darksiders I. Loot will also be included, dropping from encounters as rewards ranging from 12 different armor piece categories, which can have different enchantments and may power up Death's Wrath Powers.Also it has been confirmed that there will be an Angel area and a Demon area in the game both areas will have NPCs and merchants.
Darksiders 2 starts at nearly the same time as the start of the first Darksiders. After War is convicted and sent back to Earth by the Charred Council, they inform the other three Horseman of his fate. The Horseman Death, knowing that his brother War is the most honorable and incorruptible of the four, and would never have started the Apocalypse early, flies into a rage. Believing his brother is victim of a conspiracy, Death defies the Council's orders and sets out on a personal mission to find proof of his brother's innocence. Death travels to the Nether Realms, a place between Heaven and Hell, to call in favors from powerful beings that rule the realm. Death thinks the only way he can prove his brothers innocence is to resurrect the human race.

Well new game plus mode is not a concern for me but the SP should be very good.

i5-2450 , 8GB DDR3 1333 Mhz, 5200 rpm HDD , AMD Radeon™ HD 6630M

^FullHD..doubtful..give it a try though!!

After long time started gaming yesterday , wow really cool . The RPG type is really good crazy moves with death . Now playing the reaching the TREE OF LIFE !

PS - Love Death , really cool character & motivating one .

One thing i wana know y the game is too small size comparing to first darksiders

This game is very BAD CONSOLE PORT. No GFX settings like AA etc.. i can live with that..but there is no option for Custom controls.. story wise it is quite good though. hope they provide the patch for this game soon or it will just ruin the gameplay for many

All this wall climbing/running etc reminds me of Prince of Persia.

How to change High-Low setting? I can't seem to find that ingame. i tried forcing AA through Catalyst control but it messed up the game..stops rendering death and all while AA is on.



Found how to CUSTOM MAP CONTROLS here is the guy explaining it

had it been a desktop I would have said yes.but still I won't say no.you can always try.

Entered CITY OF DEAD

really very big game ! but i feel the battle is quiet small i dont face enough enemies . Also the side quest are large in numbers . The gameplay play may be more than DARKSIDERS 1

Devs said the game will take 20-25hours to beat. Which is quite more than what Darksiders had offered(~20hours), I think. And if coupled with side quests and hidden treasures, it will be >40, I guess.


BTW, why is thq is being such a phony? All we get is a X360 port just with a resolution slider?

Messed up port?

@faun, nice screens, the second picture looks beautiful!

I wasn't able to play the first part..really bad port, couldn't get more than 15fps.

^ Actually, quite a good port. Just that there aren't any customization options. Runs pretty smooth though

All the players, force the graphic settings from your GPU control panel. The visuals improved quite a bit after I cranked all the settings up in nVidia control Panel. Game looks gorgeous now.

Game looks good to me in screenies.

Defeated Gorewood at level8. He is the antagonist in one of the side quests.

Some more screenshots:

Game is artistically done, the sudden transitions in hue, saturations are so well done and the attention to detail. Albeit human models are not that detailed but very impressive world design:

And I decided to play.

I am 14hours into the game now. In the city of the dead now. It now started feeling repetitive. Also, boss fighters are laughably easy in Medium difficulty.

Right now, I am in the City of Dead searching for some guy. The irony is, I was expecting kind of like, a city. But actually city of the dead is just another dungeon.

Yeah, boss fights are easy so far. Defeated Guardian and now to the Tree of Life. Darksiders 1 had challenging boss fights.

Gameplay is good..though I sometimes feel Darksiders I was better..however its a mixed feelings..But one thing is for certain..its a bad PC port of a console game.

^Did u get any bugs while playing?

According to me there is a bug :After talked to lilith when I tried to continue main quest , the phasewalker didn't work ( i shot at the disk but nothing happened ). ,i restarted the game but its still not opened so i delete my save games and completed the whole game again(I have 25 hour of play All in vain) this time i succeed in opening the Portal

Solution to Bug:

1: Don`t go to the Area if u haven`t acquired the Phase walker Ability Yet.
2:After talking to this Lady Demon u acquire Phase walker Ability

game perfectly playable using KB+Mouse or do I need to have a xbox 360 controller ??

Never tried it with kb+mouse. But IMO analog keys gives more control.

Well hack n slash are meant to be played with a controller. KB and mouse control won't be that good for sure.

Vigil Promises Fixes For Janky PC Darksiders II In 'The Weeks To Come'

We are working on fixes for a number of bugs which can potentially block progression that have come to our attention, while also exploring adding additional features you have been asking for. This work includes vsync updates, improved shadow map resolution, X-axis options and additional keyboard mapping options (amongst other community requests). We hope to roll out a number of patches to address these issues in the weeks to come.

Click to expand...

Now in the City of Angels. No.. I am talking about Los Angeles.


Feeling kind of boring now. Also, had to allot time to study. I am finding difficult to spare the time for the game.

Woah good gfx! Started playing sadly you cant tweak the settings ;(

^^ means we can't change any gfx/audio/gameplay options ?? - even not the resolution and refresh rate ??

^^Yes, resolution can be changed.

I still consider POP WW to be a better game in the same league. This was fun too but the story and epicness in POP WW was better.

^^ Thanks for the info. BTW, here's a new patch for the game :

Good Guy Vigil Fixes Darksiders 2 Bugs, Compatibility For PC

PC Patch #2 Details:

• In this patch your key mappings will revert to defaults.

• Added Key Bindings option to the Pause Menu. (Previous location on the Moves List still there)

• The V-sync graphics option is now functional.

• Reaper Form now triggers correctly when using a Keyboard.

• Video Settings save to the Steam Cloud correctly.

• You can now sacrifice items below the 3rd row in the Possessed Weapon menu.

• Target Reticules align properly at all screen resolutions.

• Addressed crashes in Blackstone, including at the 2nd lever and during the Lilith cut-scene.

• Various gameplay progressions fixes.

Click to expand...

and here's the most interesting part :

Supposedly, there will be yet another patch inbound to add more graphics tweaking options and further compatibility to give PC gamers a few more options to play the game the way it was meant to be played on PC

Click to expand...

so I'll wait till they release the patch no. 3.

Encountered these:

• You can now sacrifice items below the 3rd row in the Possessed Weapon menu.

• Target Reticules align properly at all screen resolutions.

Click to expand...

But no doubt the game is fun .
According to me this segment feels cheap-When you press shift and focus on a enemy there name comes up in red.That looks lame,They should work on it :/

Anyone have tried the patch ? it's a 3GB patch, they release the whole game.

Well POP series had one of the best story till date and game was also awesome. But lets leave it to that and move on and enjoy other games.

guys I'm confused, whether to get sleeping dogs or darksiders II??

get both they are based on different story - anyway, this may help you decide :
UK chart: Sleeping Dogs denies Darksiders 2 • News • Eurogamer.net

@ dan4u
totally depends on your preference. If you are hack n slash fan get DS2 else get SD.

Darksiders 2 is waay larger than P.O.P. ....

Started playing yesterday. Quite disappointing graphics, and improving shadow quality greatly affects the frame rate - my GT540M isn't exactly made for great gaming experience but I still don't expect games with such graphics to embarrass it. I believe they didn't optimize the game for PC.

On the gameplay - I must have played 6-7 hours by now and am not quite enjoying it. For me either War was a better character to play with or the moves upgrades were better in Darksiders I, not sure, maybe both.

^you got the 3.2 GB patch that solves a lot of pc bugs?

Yes, update 4. I've tried SGSSAA on many games with better graphics and they ran smoother, this one starts lagging with little application of AA, or improvement in shadow quality. Can't compare to pre-patch performance as I immediately applied the patch but it would be better if devs start working harder on PC ports.

i just installed the Game today and its auto-downloading a 1gb patch for ds2 but actually the patch is suppossed to be 3.2 gb right?

Yes^^

ok.......
so after downloading this 1.3 gb patch do i immediately have to dl 3.2 gb patch or do i have a choice?

I don't know the version which I have it's only needed 3.2 GB patch and the patch was release after ending this game. So didn't apply.

i think its finding some kind of error with my game while installing it showed total size 5.6 gb
it stops on 4.7 gb and says game is finished installing etc and it needs to download a patch
on download bar it shows 4.7 gb out of 5.6 gb is downloading

Similar thing happened with me. I did not check though the size of the d/; took 1.5 hrs for it.

Playing it since then, no issues.

Its been 2-3 weeks I'm playing this game. Still ways to go. And, why not!!!
Look at the quests and lengths of quests! They are lots in number.

In first part we had side quests but not in such big numbers. Her we get main story, along with side quests, side quests of side quests...and two-three levels deep. Actually I'm enjoying these side quests too. Why? because of the awesome combat and powers of Death. I'm liking him more than War. Sure I miss the Sword but his Scythe and gauntlets actions are way cooler. Gameplay is 'again' inspired by so many already famous games that I should not waste more time in this. There is a story but I'm more interested in fights and treasure hunting.

They have revamped the weapon system for Death. Lots of choices for primary and secondary weapons. My fav. are "Possessed Scythes" and "Possessed Gauntlets". Because...then can be upgraded more to accompany even cooler moves or skills or extra features (health steal, wrath steal, reaper energy steal....)
Then special abilities. "Teleport slash" and "Harvest" are my fav. till now.
And, the reaper form also gets upgraded with time to "Advanced Reaper"!!!

It would have been a pity if it were a short period where you hardly get to use all powers, weapons as it happened with "Batman : AC"; in the middle of the game Joker is dead, Batman is fully upgraded and nothing to do.....FFFFUUUU

So, quest thugs/monsters/semi bosses/bosses/mega bosses lotsa people to fight and test your weapon skill. Use various combination of Primary Weapon, Secondary Weapon, Body Armor, Talisman. If these boss fights do not satisfy you, fights in Crucible are waiting for you. Its like in game KBC...you fight for certain levels and after each checkpoint either you accept reward and leave arena or continue. If you die you get nothing.

Then for more there is puzzles. MAZE. I'm yet to enter there. Got most of the secret codes for the levels in "Soul-watever-maze'

Issues: Bought a new GFX card only to play this one in full HD but getting much lags. Now resolution is changed. Game lags at times, mouse pointer gets stuck or focus is reset. Rest is alright.

In short: POP might boast of having the best story (which is undeniable) and Witcher could boast of best GFX/Artwork with sword fighting (which also I agree) but best true-blue "Hack&Slash" is going to be "Darksiders" series for me.

Posting few screenshots.

Another PITA. I took time to understand the mechanism. I have to press 'E' when it falls rather hitting it! I kept on hitting it and everytime it got back up with regenerated life.

Nice comments for the screenshots and of course nice screenshots also.

Started this game...
couldn't kill Gorewood as I m on level 4...
pls tell me the best weapons to use/buy & useless to sell.

Hey guys...how did u got through Arbiter's Maze
there are 10 levels (with each level going tough)
and if u die in any u have to start all over again

suggestions?

No you don't have to startover.

When you die, you go back to the first chamber. Go to the secret book and access it again. It would show you your progress. Select the level you died and go to the portal. This time the portal would take you to that particular level.

b/w each level of Sould Arbiter's Maze has a loot (its the SECRET part)
Each level has two codes.
One leads you to next level another to the SECRET loot. Are you collecting the loots too?

I admit I cheated on the codes. Got 'em of from net but fought without help. one level one day


b/w playing the DLCs too.
Will post screenshots later.

thanks for the info....I didn't read the book so thought that its all over again.

and yes I m getting the secret loots also...I have collected 16 scrolls (as there are 20).

and DLC is afterwards

I m short of 4 BOD pages to complete chapter 4

Finally completed (Excluding DLC)
overall rating: 7/10
graphics is ok (not so bad & good either specially textures)
sound is excellent (I really enjoyed the flute tune while roaming in forge lands...I guess I heard the same tune before (movie/game))
Boss fights are also awesome (plenty of boss fights).
Book of Dead Pages: 36/40 (so,I missed on tomb key)
Boatman's Coin: 97/100
GnoMad's Gnomes: 4/4 (very tough to spot)

Story is excellent & in relation with its previous part (I hope they release DS3 also in future)
Gameplay is fast paced (combos) & can be compared with other H&S games

Gameplay time is huge (far longer than part I)..I spent 40+ hours to complete.

Boss fights are not that tough...but two boss fights are really PITA which are Soul Arbiters and the Deposed King...
out of these the latter is bit easy but Soul Arbiter's fight is a headache (I guess u agree with me on it)
but to tell u the truth the Final Boss is damn easy (2mins to beat) & I used Gnomad Scythes (I liked the laugh of Gnomad's while striking.. )

All in all I really njoyed spending time on it!

good game & must play for H&S fans.

Update: The Veil is the most beautiful level in the whole game
I will start the two DLC's soon.

There are three DLCs
Abyssal Forge
Argul's Tomb
and
Demon Lord Belial

b/w don't start the DLC right away. Play the game from first with existing powers, in first miniboss fight (Ice Giant) you'll get a new secondary weapon (hammer).

And, what level are you when you finished the game?

And what is your fav. weapon combo for bossfights (considering you change the combo b4 every bossfight)

Are the DLCs worth playing ??

Abyssal Forge is very short. You can skip it but Argul's tomb has pretty long missions and good boss fights. Demon Lord Belial is longer than Abyssal forge but shorter than Argul's tomb BUT contains more treasures.

Well, I liked this game very much and first time in my life I actually played DLCs of a game and bought upgrades. To me its good. If you like Darksiders title and its H&S style you could give a try to the DLCs.
Besides I'm intending to use the level 40 Talisman...I'm too curious to know what the fck does it do? I wasted too much gold earning it!

Yeah well I do like Hack-n-Slash games and I liked DS also although haven't played this game thoroughly yet. Played for half an hour and then left, will give it a try one more time.

Weapon combo. When fighting which you choice of Primary weapon and secondary weapon?

Mine was ,
Primary> scythe: black demise
Secondary> claw: Achidna's Fangs

I also use Black Demise...but my fav is Gnomad Scythes
Secondary: Sceptor of Deposed King

u got all BOD pages?

Zangetsu said:

Yes, New Game+ it is and you have to select that.

again I have to complete the Main game (full)

Click to expand...

No, not the whole game!!!!
Only till you reach first minibossfight (Ice Giant). That is 5 mins from game start.

I also use Black Demise...but my fav is Gnomad Scythes
Secondary: Sceptor of Deposed King

Click to expand...

I did not collect all Gnomad relics...initially I thought they are "EasterEggs" or bugs.....I did not know I can collect 'em
Thereafter, I could collect only 3.
So, don't know exactly which benefits it has...

But black demise and Achidna's fangs are good combo. Both of 'em collects life...so not much tention of life ending during fight until you stop hitting. And, the fangs generate wrath too.

b/w this one particularly you'll get only in "New Game+"
Absolution - Darksiders Wiki - Wrath of War, Weapons, Enemies, Collectibles, Abilities, and more!

And, this you get on that bossfight I mentioned.

b/w in DLCs you'll get some cool weapons....it'll be fun to play with 'em in "New Game+"

Click to expand...

^Ok...will do that.

I have backed up the save game file before entering well of souls (which is in mydocuments folder)
but when I replace the save game files I still see the newgame+ but was expecting the save point before well of souls?

IDK, how save game thing works for DarksidersII.

While fighting with Gorewood we both died at same time. I did not receive the sword/hammer or whatever the sh1t was and could not replay the quest.
The saving feature is not good. Every other game provides provision to SAVE in different slots, but not DS2. I really missed this option.

Zangetsu said:

Did you get it?

No, it was not Absolution...I'm sorry. Its "Lifebane".

^so lifebane is good..& I shud carry that to new DLC?

Yes...

Play the New Game+ till you get "Lifebane" which is just 5mins from start and then start DLCs.

Hmm,one more thing did u tried/completed "The Crucible Stage" in the main game?

No. I went till 3 stages but the fights got tougher and kinda boring. So...its incomplete.

And, I was not comfortable with the "Everything or nothing" option

Damn...these are the released DLC

Yes...forgot its name

Completed The Abyssal Forge

now starting The Demon Lord Belial


I don't understand the other packs??
* Death Rides
* Mortis Pack
* Rusanov's Axe
* Van Der Schmash Hammer
* Fletcher's Crow Hammer
* Mace Maximus
* Angel of Death
* Deadly Despair
* Shadow of Death
* Crucible Pass

how are they accessible?

These are various mods and new weapons. If you have them then they would arrive in your online mailbox (remember the Green serpent like statue having a book open?) Access it and get all the mods, weapons. Once you get them, they would automatically show up on weapons shelves (for weapons), in case of "Deadly Despair" the crow would turn purple from green (I bought it too )

I hope you got my point.

Boss fight with Demon Lord Belial....

Crytek USA to Buy Darksiders IP

Ex-Vigil personnel now residing at Crytek intend to make a bid on the Darksiders intellectual property because it belongs with its creators, according to a tweet by Crytek USA Corp. David Adams.

"Going to bid on Darksiders IP," Adams wrote. "Put 7 years of heart and soul into that franchise, and I think it belongs at home with its creators."

Actually,Crytek USA is going to buy the Darksiders IP,Crytek USA is mainly crewed by Ex-Vigil Games(Darksiders's original Developer) employees
so most probably the next Darksiders will be made by Crytek USA guys who will bid for it in THQ's auctions
