The first Darksiders game was actually challenging on the highest difficulties (especially on Apocalyptic), but you can't really have difficulty levels with stats that recover your health on every single hit that you do on Darksiders II.

At level 22, I have 85 % crit on my Scythes and 300% crit damage. I usually hit for 2.5 to 3K, even on Stage III Crucible, and with 20% HP regen, I recover between 500 to 600 HP per hit. Doing the Flipsaw technique, that's about 3K HP recovered, almost a full bar. It's basically a full on invulnerability.

I get what the developers were trying to do, since they wanted to convey the feeling of Death being much more powerful than War, but that always has it's own risks.

I may have played the first game on normal lol it was a long time ago, I remeber having some real trouble at a couple points in the first game. Tho I think that had a lot to do with me getting distracted half way through so there was a few month gap where I forgot some of the triks to the combat.

Sadly DSII felt a little half baked in a lot of ways TBH, I think that they tried to up the scope too much and they really didn't have the resources or time to polish a game of that size. They added a bunch of new systems and pushed the world size up from the first game but it left the game feeling very jack of all trades master of none with a lot of empty spaces, pacing that drags, rubbish side quests and kinda half baked systems like the platforming, loot and "crafting". Still I enjoyed the combat for what it was and I did have a lot of fun going through the game.

I agree with you there, it really feels half polished in some places. They implemented a lot of things, but most of them fell short of what they probably were trying to achieve.

Though to be honest, my biggest gripes with DSII is the PC issues that the game has, after so many patches. Having to run it on windowed borderless mode so that it doesn't V-Sync Lag and the menus don't have a 30 second delay to open is really piss poor coding.
Also, It's always funny how a game like DSII demands more of my laptop than Crysis 2 with the Ultra HD texture pack XD. I have to downsample my AA from Supersampling to Multisampling if I want to get playable FPS (ande deactivate Morphological Filtering as well). I don't know if it's an AMD issue with this game, but it gets a bit annoying. The first Darksiders didn't have these kind of issues.

I am very pleased with all the turn based strategy/rpg games that are poppong up lately. This, Wasteland 2, XCOM, if I could get a proper Commandos reboot, that would be awesome.

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Dreamfall: Chapters was successfully kickstarted a while ago. I'm excited (did not contribute because its not my thing).

Gameplay-wise Dreamfall was dissapointing after the longest journey, the story wasn't to me though, so I'm excited for this.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redthread/dreamfall-chapters-the-longest-journey/posts

I'm playing Tomb Raider, Alan Wake, and Sleeping Dogs again (awesome game, it's a shame the DLC seems like a waste) :(. I really wanna play The Secret World, after it became non-subscription, it's gotten positive reviews from a lot of users.

I don't know if it would be awkward to add me to that list?

Anyway, I just bought Sonic All Stars Racing: Transformed. Pleasantly surprised. It looks great, runs great, plays great and can be just hard enough at times.

Just get added XD Im on all of the lists. Although I think someone that sounds similar to Zepus removed me from one of the lists >.<
