it's awesome to see the love that this is getting. the first game was my goty for 2010. there are plenty of legitimate complaints that were leveled at it, but the sum of the parts was just awesome. it somehow managed to evoke the same kinds of emotions in me that i had as ab.c. Tort km child when playing video games.

i haven't followed this one too closely as it was a day one purchase before i even finished the first. i just hope they haven't tooled with the original's formula too much in attempt to "reach a broader audience." even with that slight reservation i am extremely hyped. hopefully this one will suck me in and take over my life the way the first entry did.

If anything DS2 is going the opposite route. Its expanding upon the stuff it was praised for while adding more options for the hardcore players and fans. Longer bigger game, no block button, more advanced combat, more rpg elements, hardcore modes etc. None of the stuff in the game really screams to me as dumbing it down for the casuals at least not from what I have seen.

And this game is legitimately playable on k&m.

I am slightly interest in this game but never got around to playing the original Darksiders. Is it worth going back and playing the original before digging into this?

Absolutely.

Great job guys on the OT but i think the EU release date is wrong, at least for most of PAL regions. Since when do games come out on tuesday? we always had to wait for thursday or friday. I believe the release date is August 17th.

Edit: Ok, UK is Aug 21.

People who think that playing DS1 with k/m is not good way to play the game.... are simply wrong. With very little tweaking you can make it to be excelent way of controlling War.

But I dont know how good DS2 will be... yet.

Hype, PC version pre-ordered! I never finished Darksiders (can't remember why, but I enjoyed it) but games like this certainly get my support :D

It was just reported on official Darksiders forums that Tomes (trading system between players) can also be used as a storage solution. We can store up to 200 items in it!

This is great news!

For those ordering the console version, I think Best Buy has the best deal on it.

Order online and choose in-store pick up, get a $10 savings pass emailed to you within 2-5 days. You also get upgraded to the Limited Edition and will receive the Best Buy exclusive Angel of Death pack. And of course, Reward Zone points :)

I can't fucking wait for this game, maybe I'm getting overhyped but I'm really feeling like it's going to be incredible at this point. This is going to be a goddamn videogame!

It's.... it's beautiful. Great, excellent OT. I'm so sorry though that I found a typo on Joe Madureira's name. :( It's a portuguese name so it immediately stood out for me as I was reading the OT. Yes, I read the whole thing. It's great.

Nice OT !

I'm in such a way hyped for DS2 thanks to you guys and especially tragic/hdn that I pretty much can't stand it anymore. Stop the hype and release the game finally ! Next week can't come soon enough :)

got a 8800 GTS....which has been pretty damn good for 99% of my game (30-60 fps mostly on hgh)
Click to expand...

Is it the 8800 GTS 512mb version? Or the 382mb / 640 mb version?

If it's the first, your PC meets the requirement, the 9800 GT is nothing but a 8800 GT re-branded while the 8800 GTS 512mb is a souped-up 8800 GT (which stills virtually make any PC game run decently, including beasts like Witcher 2 -at low-).

That typo will be fixed today.

Question about rewards for playing D1, isn't it you just need an achievement to receive armor piece? OP says you need a save file. Just curious.

Wow. I've been goong easy on the media for the game. This OT has grestly informed me on the games' evolution. This was already a day 1 purchase, but now i'm hyped.

If the game is all that its cracked up to be, i hope everyone here will evangelize it and convince other people to purchase it or at least give it a try. If we want more than shooters, we have to support games other than shooters, and that means word of mouth.
