Looking a bit more colourful than the first, which is good. Wish it had more though.

Hope the cutscenes are of a higher quality this time around too.

The environments look nice, but holy screen tearing batman!

That's some of the worst screen tearing I've seen in a while.

The first game had the worst screen-tearing I've ever seen. I had to stop playing and wait for the patch that fixed it. I hope they won't repeat the same this time.

Still very excited for this one. Towns with side quest-giving NPCs? Yes, please.

Argul's Tomb DLC is free for everyone who preorders the game.

Because of the custom gear you can place on Death, ALL CUTSCENES ARE RENDERED IN-GAME NOW. Nothing is prerendered, except for some comic style stuff.

Think Darksiders 2 looks great, but that stage demo was really boring. I mean he even talks to the same people twice to kill time. Should have thrown in a quick demo of the combat/loot aspect to grab the attention of people who haven't seen the other demos.

Oh wow, this game looks beautiful. Hadn't really been keeping up with media for this game until now: instant hype! And only a month left.

I've been actively avoiding any videos or information on this game because I wouldn't be able to stand the wait otherwise...caved in and watched this one though. God damn it looks great.

Got the PC version 25% off on that greenman sale a little while ago too so I'm all set.

But yeah, hope it does well. THQ has practically been giving the original away in cereal boxes so there's gotta be a lot of people interested in a sequel now.

dat awkward silence during conversations.... :)

Hopefully the tearing is video related because artistically this game looks stunning, even if you don't dig Madueira's art style.

Yeah, that screen tearing is bad if it's in the game. You'd think they'd have learn their lesson from the first one after having to patch it to fix it.

Man, the art just looks so solid. Still smh at all the haters surrounding the art and style of this series.

Game looks awesome. Tearing sucks, but will hopefully be fixed before launch if not patched soon afterwards. The art is rad, par for Joe Mad.

Shame it isn't going to be sold separately. I already have it preordered at a good price.

Almost forgot that I have that game pre-ordered on GMG! Woohooo..


Environnment looks good but the lava is really weird.


Wait what about that pre-order DLC? Do you get it if you preorder from somewhere other than steam or thq store? Since it's a steamworks game anyway...

Edit: Ok so the GMG pages actually talks about the PRe-Order bonus so I guess I'm good...woot!

Thats good. I'd also prefer it if they didn't feel like they were cut so badly. They start out of the blue, something mental and unexplained happens then they end incredibly suddenly. Felt like they were rushed.

If I see one more person call its artstyle a 'WoW ripoff' or something along those lines...

actually I could just send them to Sons of the Storm and ask them to find out how many of Blizzard's artists list Joe Madureira as a direct influence.

Good gravy. I usually can get past things like framerate, jaggies, and tearing issues, but this is the absolute worst I've ever seen in a modern game that I'm interested in.

Is there any chance they can fix it significantly by release? Because if not... I dunno, man. Maybe I should cancel that preorder and then get the Deluxe Version a year later. Ooof.

Maybe they were running the demo on PC (they probably were) and using the same capture gear that Giantbomb uses (would kinda make sense too)... GB always has terrible tearing on PC stuff they capture no matter the quality of the game...

There is a chance you could buy a decent PC before then! Just a small chance though.

Darksiders 1 had mad screen tearing. It was the first time that kind of stuff actually was actually bad enough to bother me.

"Next few weeks for bla bla bla bla Wii U" does that mean the Wii U is releasing in the NEXT FEW WEEKS? Probably not.

Day one for me.

The first game was really good and there are wwaaaaayyyy too few great action-adventure games (with a Zelda flavor to it) to drop THQ on this one. If they are to survive their current issues, I want them to remember that games like these are still worth investing in.
