Darksiders II Community Q&A Diary

Darksiders II Community Q&A Diary

Even Hell has a FAQ section

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 30 July 12 at 16:55

THQ's revised business strategy under new President Jason Rubin is to make fewer, but high-quality games rather than their former practices of releasing many games with varying degrees of quality. One of the games they're committing to is Darksiders II, the hellacious sequel to 2010's quiet hit. If you're gearing up for the apocalypse, you might want to know what lies ahead before you stroll in on horseback. That's what this new Q&A dev diary is good for.



Darksiders II is due out in just a few weeks -- August 14th in North America and August 17th elsewhere.

This looks absolutely amazing...! I loved the first one, and I'm sure I'll have a blast playing as death. I'm really hoping for two more sequels after this, so we can experience all four horsemen.

pre-ordered this awhile ago... everytime I see something new about this game it makes me want it more and more. The new gear system is what had me sold though!

Can't wait until this releases. Definitely hoping for a sequel.

The more I see of this one the more it makes me want to start up the first one, even with the different battle styles between Death and War.

Finally, developers thinking about the gamer instead of just making money. Now that I have heard this little tidbit from them, even thogh I was going to get the game anyways, I am most defenitely going to get this day 1. The first one was amazing being able to play as a Horseman of the Apocalypse. SWEET!

I never play the second installment of a series without playing the first. With that being said...I better get going on Darksiders 1. Going to Gamestop tomorrow so maybe I'll find it for a good price.
