Were you guys playing on the 360? It didn't really bother me with the PS3 controller.

How long does this game take to beat? I just got it Yesterday from Gamestop.com and I'd like to beat it and trade it back to Gamestop while the TIV is still high.

Depends on if you care about collecting stuff.

Well I figure Id just play through the story mode and get a good feel for the game and then trade it in.

Then maybe I'd pick it back up when it hits clearance or during a b2g1.

So just a basic play through without worrying about getting everything in the game done at this point. How long would that take?

eh I'd say maybe 20 hours Dahk. It's a good game, its basically a Zelda game with better combat.

I would say its closer to 14-16 hours. I was around 14.5 hours after collecting the last piece of the armageddon blade, right before the final boss, and decided to go back and finish up all the trophies before beating the game. I'm now at about 17 hours, and only have to finish leveling the two weapons before continuing on. I was basically just going straight through the story, and not worrying about doing anything extra, so ymmv.

It has flashier combat, but not better. The game mechanics are nowhere as polished as Zelda or GoW. Take the camera for example, it is so zoomed in that whenever you see an enemy coming from the behind, they are going to land a hit on you, this is esp the case with larger mobs.

I finished in 12 hours. The only thing I went out of my way to collect was the Abyssal Armor; in short, I was playing for the story.

I'm liking this game alot right now. The only part I havent liked so far war riding the winged gryphon type creature

That's the only time you ride on a gryphon.

hopefully someone can give me some info on this. i am at the ashlands and the map at the bottom says to kill the stygian. i have ruin and there is a yellow dot where i am supposed to go, but when i go to it, the path is blocked by some kind of rock. i can't break through it, and when i've gone around and around the area and can't seem to find anywhere in. please help! it's pissing me off!

That part was okay, but you can miss the trophy if you don't do it just right.

Finally beat it. The end was a little confusing but that's because it's been 2 months since I played it (my TV in my dorm is crappy. Wanted to beat this on my big screen at home). The last few seconds of the final scene are pretty awesome.

Just started playing it. Enjoying it thus far and glad that it was a success for the studio (as their first game).

Anyone have tips on what the best thing to spend souls on is?

Hah, I honestly don't remember exactly how I spent everything, but I can give you some tips:

I didn't even use all the attacks you can buy for all the weapons, but you need them all for the All Weapons Upgraded Trophy. Don't pay the 1k for the scythe when you can enter the code "The Hollow Lord" (without quotes) in the in-game options menu (accessible from somewhere in your inventory) for a free Harvester scythe.

You don't have to upgrade your Wrath spells all the way for the All Spells Learned Trophy, but you do need to purchase the lvl 1 forms to at least unlock all four Wrath powers. Also, Stoneskin's the only one worth upgrading, I think.

Anyone want to try and sell me on this game?

I played through the demo and it felt like I was waiting for the Ice Age to end, the three things that came to mind while playing were bland, tedious, and is it ever going to end.

I had to utterly force myself to finish the demo because I knew that if I didn't I would never pick it up again and play through it. Btw, the demo took me about 2 1/2 hours to play all the way and when I was done the first thing I did was delete it and not look back.

But since it is on sale next week for a decent price at Kmart I thought I'd reevaluated my stance. I'm still not convinced it's worth $30, sub-$20 or even at all, maybe in a few years down the road for $10-15, I'd give it a shot. But I still need a reason to buy it, keep it on the list and not scratch it off permanently.

So if anyone has any solid reasons why I should give the full version a chance I'd appreciate it.

I like Zelda and I like GoW, but I really didn't like this...so convince me why I should play it. Please.

The 1st dungeon is the weakest part of the game, plus, you don't really get a sense of the story/voice acting-which are both strong
darksiders keeps getting better the more you progress, and there are a few characters and items later in the game that really open it up and make you feel powerful
without spoiling anything, there are a few kickass moments towards the end that are well scripted and intelligent

I just picked this up a couple of nights ago again, after getting rid of it just before God Of War 3 came out. But I had my PS3 restart on me yet again when I was at the title screen and tried quitting out via pressing the PS button.

Played the demo and enjoyed it but gonna wait til it hits $20 with my backlog.

I took a break from this game to play FF13 and God of War 3. Now I came back to it but I cant beat the damn Stygian or whatever that huge sand worm is called.

Any pointers?
