I just pirated it yesterday and the slow download just finished a few hours ago, today.

To those that own it. How do you like the game?

I find the Graphics awesome, I don't know, some people complain that it's "cartoonish", "unreal" etc, like wow, who cares if it looks like a comic book, the art is AMAZING and the graphics still look awesome with it.

The gameplay, well, I find that quite simple. The battles I fought were quite easy. I do like the RPG and open world idea, actually, I always had problems with these type of games. Too many things to do and I like doing everything, thus I'll stay hours and get frustrated if it's too hard in an open world.

I find the secondary weapons, a bit too OP. If you use them solely you do 5x more dmg than the main and 10x faster.

The OST's. Goddamn, the music is beyond epic. Especially in boss fights. Epic music that fits Death's character. Death himself is a great character, an anti-hero, type III to IV and when we see his past, he somewhat looks like a type V to villain.

The special attacks are pretty much... Low in number in my opinion. For an Adventure/Action/RPG style game, I find them quite low in number.

Oh, and could somebody do me a favour of putting the OST's on YouTube...? I don't know how to do that D:.

We're happy you found value in your pirated game.

I'm also happy you don't add nothing to the discussion. I'm sorry, I won't buy anything until the cops come in front of my door.

I'm still waiting for mine to come in the mail, I really want to play it now! Have you played the first one yet, if so which game do you like better? From the looks of it the second game has a lot more rpg elements to it; like loot, equipment, side quests, towns and a more open world which I am really excited about!

The first is slightly better than the second. I thought that reviewers were spouting crap, but indeed, it does lack innovation, and something else also, ticks me off.

The first is awesome, man. I mean, the one liners War give, is like somebody slapped you in the face with awesomeness and badassery.

Yes, you need a better computer than for Darksiders II. But exactly because it was a port.

But who cares, the controls are awesome.

i didn't like it on the 360 so i hesitated to give it another shot on the PC. i have heard the game sucks on the consoles and that the PC version was no different. it probably doesn't hurt to try since you're not losing anything but time here.

What didn't you like at it...?

Everybody with their tastes D:. But I kinda fail to see how a good copy of GoW, DmC, Legend of Zelda, put all together can be bad.

you need a better computer to run it XD you're making me giggle. I have a computer that munches every game at max settings.

i7 2700k @ 5ghz
8gb ddr3 ram @ 2133mhz
gtx 670 @ 1330mhz boost
120gb Corsair ssd
2Tb storage
corsair 800d case
CPU and GPu watercooled.

There wasnt any issues is running it. It was the fact that it was ported so badly there were no graphics settings apart from resolution. I instantly took a disliking to it after that. Just felt like a worse version of god of war in my opinion

Graphics don't really matter, it's gameplay that does.

They were already at max settings anyways. It does look better than GoW.

I don't get any enjoyment out of playing any linear action adventure/rpg that has a premade main character. Like LoZ, GoW, Ys, etc.

Games I do like: TES, DA:O, KotOR 1, or stuff similar like that.

Well using PS3 as an example since that's the system I'm going to be playing this on...you can usually copy a game save to an external device such as a USB flash drive, for back up purposes. Games like Star Ocean 4, Dante's Inferno, and now Darksiders 2 don't allow you to do this. You're basically forced to pay for PSN plus cloud storage in order to back up your copy locked saves, and it's a load of crap. I don't see why you would copy lock the entire game save instead of just tying the save to the player's profile like most every other game does.

Well let me use an example then. I put a good 30 hours into Star Ocean 4 a few years ago, only to have my PS3 die and I lost my save, since I couldn't back it up.

You don't think it's a problem that the games you spend hours and hours playing can't be backed up?

There's also the PS3's back up utility option, but it's a ridiculous hassle.

Yes, complicating your life is pretty hard for me to understand.

I'd buy the PS3 just for the exclusives.

Otherwise it's a useless, piece, of junk.

I do almost always prefer consoles for games, but another big reason was because I read about some problems with the PC version.

Well, all they mention and cry about is "oh my God, no AA, oh noez, no video settings blabla".

My computer takes it with about 180 FPS and I didn't encounter any glitches.

The art is made in such a way to actually make it look like really well made graphically. You can only cry about the shadows, tho. They look bad.

I did get it in the mail today, and have played about an hour now. Gameplay is pretty much the same as the first one (which isn't a bad thing), and it seems that just by looking through the menus, Death has a lot more equipment and skill options than War did which is also nice. Voice acting is, as expected, really good.

That... Death voice...

Seriously, it's awesome. Also, he's sarcastic most of the times, and so arrogant.

I like his type of characters. As I stated, a nice anti-hero.

How's the graphics? Care to give your opinion on that topic?

Absolutely, those games have some of the best voice acting and dialogue+monologue ever in a video game. Story and characters are fantastic as well.

And cool, I just got some nifty equipment from that shaman woman for having a completed save game from the first Darksiders.

Oh shit, there was also a shaman woman?

Now that you mention it, I've seen another "maker" there, I thought it's the one I've already met.

Also, you'll get free equipment on that Snake thingy near the forge girl (snake icon on the minimap).
