I'm not interested in the Spider-Man DLC cause the game didn't load chapter 13. A lot of gamers had issues as well. I tried every solution to get chapter 13 to load and nothing worked. All that work to try and unlock 850/1000 for nothing!

I'm kinda worried about the ton of DLC weapons for Darksiders (well some of those things were pre-order bonuses -Deadly Despair, or free THQ Club gifts -Mace Maximus and Ven der Schmash), I hope they won't try to sell a million extra items like Visceral did with Dante's Inferno.

RAGE!

-MortisUBER-RAGE!

...

I suppose some context is in order to explain.

I like digital goodies. Gotta catch them all and all that. It troubles me that I never got the Infinity Pack for Asura's Wrath or the The Irons for Dragon Age 2. I bought a used copy of BF3 to get a save to unlock the BF3 Soldier in ME3 MP, then returned the game. Raged a little when they made him a rare card unlock. Bought the Mass Effect Art Book for the Collector's Assault Rifle for ME3 MP as well.

So I went to a lot of trouble to get all of the various retailer specific pre orders for Darksiders 2. Bought a Collector's Edition, sold it on eBay minus the DLC code. Bought a Best Buy copy. Bought THQ Store copy, sold that one. Bought an Amazon copy, returned it after I got the code. Bought a Gamestop copy and returned it at a different store. Bought a Prima Guide for their DLC. Then when they started introducing the various axes and hammers, I stupidly bought one of eBay before realizing I could unlock them all on my own (that was purely my fault).

So it makes me a little mad that here they are selling all of it through XBL Marketplace. Because while I haven't done the math, I probably didn't come out ahead after this whole thing. Before factoring in time spent.

What's worst is that I bought a code for Mortis from eBay. For a hefty sum of $130. Yes. I am that kind of gamer. So too see it on sale for 80 MSP is just completely rage inducing. Hulk SMASH! level rage inducing. And yes, I am going to go over to THQ's forum to write and angry, ranting post at them.

The kicker is that THQ isn't getting money from me for all this stuff. I would have happily not went to the lengths and troubles that I did for this DLC, giving all my money to non affiliated parties, had I know it would all be available for sale after the fact. I would have paid for this. I would be giving THQ my money right now for this. Had I known. Had THQ told me so I could be an informed consumer and make informed choices. But for some inescapable reason to me, THQ didn't want to do that.

And what really drives me up the wall is that so many other companies do it too. I went through this with Brink, Deus Ex, SPESS MAHREENS, and just recently Transformers: FoC (Bought G2 Bruticus through eBay.)

Don't bother with the Darksiders II equipment, after an hour of play your weapons will already be superior. I just finished my apocalyptic playthrough and never needed a boost in gear.
