Is the game going to have pre-rendered cutscenes or is everything in-game? I just want to know if the armors you wear show up all the time.

 

[zenith16]

From what I under stand it's a mix of both. but when your changing the armor's it'll be like you have a window and slot window on the side and it'll add on to your version of death.so you see if you like the look. from what it looks like any way. I;m not really sure how to describe the possessed weapons and the like. I guess if you remember how dcuo went down it's a bit like that, but with a slight difference. They did say to look a the stats care fully. And some other lower weapons/stuff you collect can be used to feed your weapons to make them stronger especially if the stats are high like to legendary versions/ones. That video up top from siliconra is a representaion of it all.

I don't know. Good question though.

That really bothers me when cutscenes don't reflect what armor or weapons you're using. It's understandable when they're prerendered, but absolutely unacceptable when the cutscenes are in engine. Bioware did a good job of that with Shepard's armor, but I'll never understand why they stuck you with whatever weapon they wanted.

 

[zenith16]

They said the stat's will tell you how well they work. but you all will have to have it in your hand's& play it for you to understand what they mean. Hope you all enjoy the game when it's finally in your hands.

 

[Nathan]

It's what I hated about Arkham Asylum or any other game who's graphics are good enough, they don't need to rely on pre-rendered cutscenes. It always takes me out of the game, when I wear a costume or armor I really like, then some cutscene starts and it's gone. And that thing with Mass Effect and the weapons you mentioned annoyed me too.

 

[zenith16]

when your picking the armor for this game it looks like your in control of when to take down that part scene. when your changing your appearance. what matters here mostly is if you pay attention to the stats . if its high in number all around or gives you a useful advantage, i think your good. just look ... for if the armor/ weapons are high in number and are green it's not that different from when you do this in a FF game. I know you played lots of those the concepts are the same here.

 

[Nathan]

I just don't know... what?

 

[zenith16]

hmmm ok, it's like how you'd merge your FF character's/ hero's / heroin's weapon to make it stronger, then say the sword they started with. think of it that way. it's just upgrading. i hope i'm saying this right.

 

[Nathan]

Ah zenith, you're doing it again. Giving answers to questions no one even asked.

 

[zenith16]

Any way I don't think it'll be as bad as what happened in Arkham and ME3. If those confused you. Besides i don't think they will do it the same way. Hopefully.

 

[Nathan]

Ok, I'm going nuts. I'm playing the first Darksiders and I can't seem to find that last treasure chest in the Spider Dungeon. I see it on the Map but I have no clue how to get to it. Can anyone provide any help?

Spoiler

 

[Soapy]

It's outside in the alley. You have to grapple up to it.

 

[Nathan]

Thank you so much.

 

[jacobed]

Two and a half hours in. Effin love it

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Super jealous it's already out in the US. I still gotta wait 39 hours :P

 

[jacobed]

Although in that time. It's frozen 3 times on me. Starting to piss me off

 

[jacobed]

One time there was quite literally a wall missing so I wall ran into nothing, had to restart it. Another time, I had no hud whatsoever and I couldn't get to the pause menu or character menu so i had to restart it. I've restarted it 5 times in 3 hours. And this game delayed for polishing, that is pathetic

 

[jacobed]

Oh joy, number 6. Screw this game I'm done til a patch

 

[jacobed]

Alright, figured it out. Do not install the game to your hard drive on 360. If you do not do it, the game runs fantastically and is really really great

 

[terry78]

Playing the demo on Onlive at work right now. Death moves a lot more fluidly than War does...not as bulky, if you get me.

This is one of the worst reviews I've read in a long time... Why do I even bother with IGN anymore?

 

[Iceman]

Why does installing the game cause problems like that? Heard that happen for a few games (can't remember which).

 

[jacobed]

Skyrim and Halo 3 were big titles that the installing wasn't good for. I'm just happy it was an avoidable fix so I don't have to sit around and wait for it to get fixed. It's an amazing game. I know its opinion but that Ign review is terrible, just terrible

 

[X Knight]

do you have to play the 1st game to understand this one?

also, how soon can you get Death's raven friend?
