Darksiders II

I've actually unsealed this one! Haven't played it yet, though.

Anyone finished it?

No.
Which isn't the reply you wanted! It sounds like I might be getting near the end, but then there's loads of inventory stuff I don't have, so unless it's all hidden in side-quests as in Little King's Story, there might be a pretend end (like Okami / Skyward Sword).

I've not even unsealed the bastart yet. I know it'll be good, but I honestly can't be arsed starting anything new at the moment.

Y'know how I said I'd finished Arkham City's story? Well, there's a touch more left (those who own it know what I mean!). When that's done, Darksiders II will take up residence in my Wii U.

In short, no, I've not finished it.

Like you, Phillips, I don't feel like embarking on a mahoosive adventure at the moment. I'm still only just past the second dungeon in Skyward Sword, for one thing; despite the fact that I've had the game since launch day.



Not a fan of the motion controls, either.

I've finished it on the Xbox 360, it's a fun game but I preferred the first one. It feels like the developers tried to throw in every cool idea from other games they could think of, and the end result just seems unfocussed. I also wasn't too fond of how the whole "Four Horsemen vs. Heaven and Hell" plot was largely ignored in favour of a new, far less interesting villain.

I'm not sure which one the main villain is... no spolilers please Mr. Professor!

Batman is currently winning the battle of which Wii U game to play next, though I'm hoping this one doesn't get shoved too far down the pile.

Just had a ball, messing around in the first dungeon. Need to get better acquainted with the combat system - more enemies to fight would be nice! - but it's all going swimmingly so far. Yes!

Another game I really must start, but with Ni No Kuni arriving tomorrow, I do not fancy its chances.

A word of warning: I'm still loving the game (and I think it's about to Okami me where I think it's the end but it's not), but yesterday, it hung, twice - to the point where the power button wouldn't work and I had to unplug the Wii U while it was on. A bit scary doing that to expensive hardware.

Yeesh. I had to do that a couple of times to get Arkham City to work the first time, but it was at least worth it!

The more I get into the game, the more I enjoy it, which is obviously a grand thing. The combat is widening out with each level up but the array of options may become too much, particularly when the 'mash Y' attack is so effective! The sub-Zelda (but only just) gameplay is enjoyable, though having played Zelda for many years I'm just zipping along.

I'm all about the slow-heavy secondary weapon X X X X X run away for a bit X X X X X run away for a bit.

Hello, I'm double-posting and bumping here. A little bit pissed off now... more freezing and glitches, and now (which may just be a coincidence) the disc appears to be borked as the Wii U complains that is can't read it. When it's not destroying my expensive games console it's great fun. But I'm stepping away for a bit.

What a shame.

I stopped playing inside the third dungeon. I'd get back to it at some point but my Wii has a far greater backlog than the Wii U, so I'm on that more instead.

this has been on my shelf since launch, i need to play itbut things keep coming out and i end up playing them.
