They make you kill one with the gun, and I used it-- but I keep getting murdered. I can make it down the hill and through the busted ice wall, but then i die.

I got this game last weekend after looking forward to it for a long time. IT IS A MASTERPIECE. I'm playing it on Apocalyptic mode and loving every second of it.

I'm getting slaughtered in Apocalptic mode... I can't kill those fat guys with lighting and fire. I was able to avoid the fire fat guys, but now stuck on the part where you have to kill 30 using O finishes. The damn blue fat guy kills me everytime! Is there a way to change the difficulty during the game? I can't seem to find that option.... Do I have to restart the game? Oh yeah, the part I got stuck on, I can't even find enemies to kill to upgrade the weapons :(

ps I don't have the Crossblade, which you can spam it on the fat dudes.

You can't change the difficulty without starting. I don't even think there's something like in GoW II where it asks you if you keep dying.

I tried Apocalyptic but gave up when you fight those big blue guys the first time.

BTW, the fat fire guys are easy if you fight them up close since they mostly just swipe at you.

Could someone with a PS3 Slim do me a favor? I brought my PS3 to school with me and forgot to take Darksiders out. I'm afraid something may have happened to it since it takes 28 seconds to get to the THQ logo. Could anyone run it on their Slim and see how long it takes? The game itself seems to run fine (I only played it for about 5 min though) but I just want to see if the long load time is with every game. I forget how long it took to get to the THQ screen when I was home.

I don't have the slim, but it shouldn't take 28 secs to load the initial logo. Well, it does take that Amount of time or more to load a save from the the first logo...

Apocalyptic mode isn't really that hard. If you're having a hard time, then you need more practise. I'd advise you to play DMC3 (regular not special edition) and other difficult games like Demon's Souls and old school Contra and Ninja Gaiden. Once you've adjusted to that kind of difficulty, then you'll play all your games on the hardest difficulties without breaking a sweat.

I give up on Apocalyptic mode, i restarted the game on EASY. Mainly because on EASY, the trophies are easier to get. I'll eventually play Apocalyptic mode when i complete the game. Oh yeah, when you play on EASY, it's a lot more enjoyable to go with the story mode (you don't die much) and searching for treasures.

I managed to get to the Cathedral on Apocalyptic mode, so, it's not that bad. Anyhow, trying to get the 160 air kills on the Apo mode is ridiculous... It can be done, but forget it, you waste more time trying than do it on EASY and enjoy a second play through.

I was trying to collect everything in one play through... Apparently, i missed the Air Parking trophy, so i restarted the game.

Blocking does suck in the game. I noticed that there's no evade action. I dash like mad when playing in Apo mode and even then, it's not effective... Also, air combos don't do damages on the big guys or maybe a little (not like Kratos' air moves on the Cyclops).

Again, i still haven't got the Crossblade yet, so the Apo mode is less enjoyable...

I'm playing through on Apocalyptic. When I get to places like the air kills trophy I just made an alternative save. Then I plan on reverting my save file down to easy to do those parts if need be. I didn't need them though. I got the air kills on my 2nd try, and the angel kills on my first successful pass at that level.

Other than "it's good" is there a rush to get this game? My next game will either be this or Demon's Souls. I am leaning towards Demon's Souls so that when I play it, there are still lots of people to co-op tough bosses with, etc. Then I coudl play Darksiders after.

Thoughts?

Darksiders is a really good, completely offline experience. I would go with Demon Souls if you are interested in that title.

Yeah, if you're worried about people not being on Demon's Souls later, get that now.

If I were you, I would get Demon's Souls right now. That game is more of a must play than Darksiders even though both are amazing.

Hopefully this game sold well enough to get a sequel. Just got Ruin and having a great time playing.

I haven't touch my copy of Demon's Soul, but i believe you don't really need to play on-line to enjoy it. If you're stuck you can always use on-line guides.

I normally minimize play thrus for games i don't really like but need the trophies. For Darksiders, i decided to play EASY and really enjoy the game than rushing through it. But now i have Bayonetta and Army of Two 40th Day (thanks to TRU's deal), man, i need to clone myself to play all of them! Did i mention i still have my copy of Demon's Soul sealed? Oh wait, so does Borderland! Ah, the horror...

I better hurry up, b/c FFXIII and Heavy Rain are coming, the next thing is GoWIII. Speaking of GoW, I still have to platinum GoWII.

Demon Souls is a must play. I would suggest doing it now while its still hot. Its nice to see the "ghost images" of other online players while you play and get their messages, Offline is not the same, even if you never invite people in to play with you.

I mysleft never asked for help and until near the end I never jumped into other players games to help. I had fun doing that and I only did it to grind for a bit.

I still have never had someone come into my game and greatly enjoyed that game. Excellent title.

I will be getting Darksiders eventually and am curious what the length seems to be? I am thinking a rental may work.

Demon's Souls online is a much better experience than offline even if you never cop-op or invade (I generally don't). Whenever I play it offline (to work on my world tendency) it definitely feels like it's missing something.

My game has about 14 hours on it. I've been taking my time playing on the hardest difficulty. I stopped for a while to grind in 2 different locations (about 3 hours- trophy related, not required), and I believe that I'm at about the 80% mark for the game based on items i've collected, etc.

Zero Punctuation review is great. Just confirms all reservations I had about the game.

Yeah, it's anything but. I should have stopped it when he called Darksiders and Bayonetta God of War clones.
