Darksiders II

Because fuck yeah. You can catch some review blurbs from a couple print houses, and it sounds like they succeeded in making Darksiders (1) bigger, better and more badass. The first was easily one of my fave games ever, so I'm quite looking forward to this--even more so because I've managed to stay far away from spoilers and story beats. Anyone else going to be playing this?

By the way, the tie in novel, Abomination Vault, ain't bad. Very melodramatic, but entertaining.

I actually have had a preorder sitting for this since Steam first listed it. Can't wait.

Gamestop charged my card, my Collector's Edition should be shipping soon! I'm really excited for it. I got my book when it first came out but I've been too busy with a Summer class to dive in.

I need to order this! Although it's probably a later release in the UK, so I may have to go dark on any news about it, since I imagine it'll be completed by someone long before it releases here.

Here and here. Basically: New Game+, an arena where you have the option to take a prize after every five waves or gamble for better loot (up to 100 waves), and an unlockable hardcore mode that wipes your save file if you die in combat (but not from falls, lava etc). Fun fun fun!

YYYYEEESSS. Replaying the first one to catch-up. Kinda surprised about how much I actually care about the story and characters in the game.

I guess I have to read that book.

The story was what I enjoyed, too. Which is why I'm not that excited for this one. Bargain bin for me!

I'd keep in mind there wasn't a loot system or a real leveling system in the first game. Not sure if that stuff matters to you, but it's bound to add some replayability for loot whores (Me included.)

Really? It seems like they are going a bit all over the place with this game, leveling, loot tables...

I just want to smash things up and upgrade cool things like the first game. I don't care for all the added bells and whistles, esp not if they distract from the story.

According to Steam DSII unlocks in less than 23 hours, I'm a bit more excited for this than I thought I would be.

I can't wait to play this game!! A big congrats to the Vigil team for working so hard to bring us another bad ass game!

I really hope this game does well for THQ... must be a lot of pressure to think the success of your game might dictate the success of such a large publisher.

They've spent a lot of money marketing this game. I've seen 4-5 billboards for it around Los Angeles. I think they're banking on it.

It'sbound to do at least well. Only sleeping dogs is coming out though but the draught has been awful for non shooter gamers.
