Darksiders II

Darksiders II Vids Talk Crucible Mode and Loot
Written Monday, August 13, 2012 By Lee Bradley

Here’s a couple of trailers for Darksiders II, Vigil’s upcoming, scythe-wielding sequel.

The first is all about Crucible, which is Darksiders II’s arena battle mode. Featuring 100 stages in total, the mode offers you the choice of either cashing out after every five waves, or pushing through further, harder waves for bigger rewards. The risk being, of course, that if you die you end up with nothing. Erk.

The second focuses on the game’s deep loot and gear system. A massively expanded feature in the sequel, you’ve have scythes and swords and hammers coming out of your ears before long. Watch this vid to get a head start on how to deal with it all.

Darksiders II is out on August 14th in North America and August 21st in Europe.

The process of uploading a trophy list requires you to have the game and trophies on your profile so they can look at it. I'm sure one will be uploaded soon, either today from an early release game or tomorrow when everyone has it. I know I'll be uploading it in about 12 hours when I pick it up across the street at midnight!

The Darksiders facebook page is having a promotion to get a free weapon called Rusanov's Axe. Best to have this weapon as a good head start for the game.

Ever since Homefront, anything that THQ makes is definitely seen as shady to me.

Then wait a bit, look at the reviews.
It already has a few of them, all the scores are around 9O% mark.

The Axe (which is a great weapon to start with on Apocalyptic) is still available, and fyi the Crucible is an online pass if you will, free with new game, but a $10 fee without. I'm hoping none of the secret achievements relate to the Crucible or the 100% doesn't require it. Picked up the Xbox Collector's Edition last night, and hoping to find a PS3 Collector's Edition in the future at a discount, but should get the game from Gamefly tomorrow... and wait to finally see Fury and Strife.
