Can you make a large mention of Wii U in the OP? Not like retailers are making that kind of effort, so most wouldn't even know it's Wii U-bound. :/

Otherwise great OP and awesome title! :D

Nintendo is not allowing Vigil to say anything about WiiU version. We will update OT when Nintendo announced when will Wii U arrive, or maybe make brand new OT.

the guidelines were changed in march so an ot like that would have been against the rules, you dont have to worry any more derrick

I just remembered you were the one who made it. No hard feelings it was just overkill. I felt like I got carpel tunnel by scrolling to the bottom of page 1 :p

Got any wired 360 pads? This may be old info to you, and if it is ignore it, but if you're more comfortable using a pad, why force a control type you're not wanting to use? The 360 pad plugs in to any usb and automatically assigns everything just like the 360, and adds button images so its essentially exactly the same as the 360 version but with improved graphics. Unfortunately you'll need a separate dongle for wireless, and getting an official one of those is near impossible.

They sell the dongle with a controller in a bundle.

Yea, you have to pay for a 360 pad you may not need, but then you don't have to re-sync whenever you want to switch systems.

and wired 360 controller is way better than the wireless one(because there is no battery pack under it) anyway.

looking back i could have cut some sections out, but the hype man it gets to you. anyone creating an OT is usually a big fan. but its over now, mgs4/bf3/mk/acr type ot's are gaf history.



also, i found the best UK price for the game: £22.85 at simplygames

i think all the versions are limited edition anyway so thats a mighty fine price

Sooooo epic! So this is the final trailer we will get.
"In the final Darksiders II pre-release gameplay trailer, Death himself explains why he has embarked upon his quest, and who should steer clear of his path."


I did not catch all that he has said.
"A reaper of souls, and ender of worlds, a slayer of ??? "

A slayer of kin

"All who live know my name. All who oppose me shall know... death."

Casting Michael Wincott as Death was a perfect move.

Just finished the first game again. Damn PC version still bugged out and didn't give me the achievement for finishing the game again. Ah well, still hyped for DS2.

Damn, I got 1000/1000 on the 360 version of the original, but I don't really want to play through the PC version just for a scythe. I'm sure it's not even that good but still. I do of course HAVE the PC version but that's because THQ gave it away with everything.

Do we know if there is going to be a PC demo? I bought the first one for PC a year ago, but I can't play it despite meeting recommended specs; I get <10fps even at the lowest resolution. I updated drivers and everything.

And damn, I wanted to play it.

Yep, his voice immediately hits you like a ton of bricks. The raspy tone and his delivery fits the character like a glove. Just nailing something like this alone can add so much to a game's atmosphere. Man, dat voice. It's one that will stick with you for sure.

I just say Gamersyde 720p version, and the aliasing and the lack of PC smoothness definitely tells me that this trailer was pieced together only from console footage.

I cant wait to play this on my glorious PC!

That would be incorrect.

All media got the same video from THQ. According to the file, it was captured from the PC version.

There is no way that this is from the PC version:

If it was recorded on PC, then they wanted to recreate console conditions.


Go on a 28min 30sec mark and see for yourself how PC version looks.

Wow, I completely forgot who Michael Wincott was, but knew I recognized that voice. Remember him now from all sorts of great flicks, like The Crow.

Awesome OT, went from just aware to pretty hyped.

"War is my brother. His fate concerns me...Yours does not." BADASS!

That is exactly what I would expect to hear from a true BAMF right before he put the hurt on someone.

I have no idea what the settings were for either the game or the capture setup, I can only tell you that the file was labeled as being from the PC version of the game.

I'm really looking forward to the bosses in the game. The ones in DKs 1 were so gruesome in the way they were designed.

Still sucks lol. The achievements are broken for some people in the game on Steam so a lot of people will not get credit for the beating the game achievement to unlock the weapon.

You can get all the achievements, but some might take multiple tries to unlock, i.e you have to save a lot, so you can just reload if an achievement didn't unlock.

A little annoying, but it works.
