This weekend only, save 75% on Darksiders!

Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. Given the opportunity to return to Earth to search for the truth and punish those responsible, you must take on the forces of Hell, forge uneasy alliances with demons, and journey across the ravaged remains of the Earth on your quest for vengeance and vindication.

Offer ends Monday, March 21st at 10am Pacific Time.

Darksiders may be one of the worst ports I have played on PC. There are no graphics settings other than resolution and VSync and I have never been able to get the FMV to play smothly, whatever I try ether the audio losses sync or the video stutters and skips. And to make matters worse the game it's self may run at 60fps most of the time with Anti-Aliasing forced (and to make the cut scene problem worse gameplay with forced AA looks better than the pre rendered cutscenes as they use the same assets with a bit of AA then compressed down so they look blurry with some blocking,) then seemingly randomly the game will drop down to 10 FPS for no aparent reason. Also had a couple crashes...

In any case you have been warned

I don't doubt you, but I'd like to say that it's playable, and I can't recall it crashing on me except for when I alt tabbed (then again, even TF2 crashes when I do that). the FMV's indeed contrast with the game itself, but that's not exclusive to Darksiders. like I said, I don't think you're lying or anything like that, but there are native games buggier than Darksiders :P

the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

I'm probably exagerating a bit lol and I guess it hasn't crashed that much, the inability to get the cutscenes to play smothly does piss me off tho and random slowdown as well tho that was mostly fixed when I got a new Mobo and CPU still happens but it's less noticable now anyway...
