    Darksiders 2

    Anyone else looking forward to this?

    As the marketing train gets rolling and more trailers and details hit towards release date, my excitement for what they've added for Death's journey won't stop growing. I hope THQ survive long enough to further the series.

    Darksiders is my favourite action/adventure game of this generation with Alice: Madness Returns behind it in a close second.

    In relation to the first game's ending:

    Spoiler!

    I hope it does well just so THQ will do well.

    Also, does the hashtag have any real significance? I'm assuming it's just one of those random little things Occams comes up with, like raping Spider-man, etc.

    I don't think so, not outside of Dtoid.

    I fucking loved the first game. Best Zelda this generation, IMO. The larger area, living cities, and loot systems sounds like amazing additions to the existing combat mechanics and adventure design.

    Also, New Game+ and hardcore/perma-death modes sound badass.

    The ending of the first game was the first time since DBZ when I was like...8, that I had legitimately got the "badass giggles". That's the name I give to something happen to is so outlandish and badass that I can't help but cackle at how badass it is. While this is not quite what I had anticipated (maybe Darksiders 3 *fingers crossed* will bring the 3 man and a lady armageddon squad) Darksiders 2 still has my hype-erection so large it could fight Godzilla.

    Example: Gohan going super-saiyan during the Cell games. I giggled like a motherfucker.

    I was going to do that too.

    And actually THQ tweeted at him and was like dude, the fuck does all this shit have to do with Darksiders2, and then they changed their official hashtag. So yeah, Occam's broke the system or some shit.

    That is hilarious. Does anyone know if he did it out of spite and dislike toward the game, or just because Occam's?

    I never understood what the #Darksiders2 nonsense was about. Can someone explain it to me please?

    Also, I want to go to Gamestop today and pre-order the Collectors Edition. That Death mask is fuckin badass and I loved the first game!

    I think he may have done it as a social/tech experiment, just to see how many people would go along with it and what the outcome would be. Then again, that's just me guessing. It's not like anybody else can really know the man's motive, or if he even had one.

    If it was an experiment, then yeah, I'd call it a success.

    What did he do though? What were the tweets? Just random nonsense with the #Darksiders2 hashtag?

    All I saw were his comments on the front page. I guess he must have been doing it on Twitter as well, going by what Bloodspray said.

    #darksiders2 is reserved for the general ickiness of the world (like the "foodcourt" area of a Target), inspired by Darksiders 2's artistic direction, which looks like an emo teenager's Hot Topic wet dream.

    Or, quote Occams, "This game looks like the lead singer of Godsmack designed it and spent the entire process snorting cocaine out of a diaper and listening to noodley guitar solos."

    I'm pissed at myself; I have and beat the first game and loved it. Then I saw on Monday that the Collectors Edition came with Deaths mask for 100 bucks on Gamestop.com. So I kept saying to myself how I was going to go down and pre-order it at the store by my job but procrastinated until yesterday, when I went in they said it was sold out. So I went on Darksiders 2 website and on Tuesday they had an article about how every outlet in the USA is sold out of Collectors Editions.

    Looks like I will have to settle for the Limited Edition now.

    I just hope this means it will sell well, do well and they will make a 3rd & 4th to complete all 4 of the horsemen. Then come out with a 5th game with 4 player co-op where you can be all 4 wreckin shit!

    I think having a third game with Co-op of the last two brothers would be a badass way to finish up the story.
