Darksiders II

[Datonare]

Didn't read most of the thread since release to avoid spoilers, so i'm sorry if it's been discussed, but has anyone else had a ton of bugs on their ps3 version? I'm talking jumping through the floor (on several occasions), sound disappearing for a minute or so, NPCs not saying their lines, but death responding... total game freeze (gotta hold down on the power button for ps3 to turn off, home button doesn't work) items falling through the floor when chest are being opened... man I could go on. Adore the game so it's not ruining anything, but holy shit it's starting to get annoying having to restart the game every few hours when it locks up

A lot of the bugs people mention seem to happen at random. I've been on the PS3 and the only thing I've had happen was a lock up when I somehow rolled into a wall and everything froze, and then the Bloodless quest issue (which seems to be universal across all platforms, and it's DLC so).

Also, just to elaborate on the bloodless thing a little bit, the best thing I can tell anyone with the Gamestop DLC that's doing it is pay attention to when you kill the Ethereal Stalkers and Scarab Hulks, and make sure it registers. A lot of them sit on top of or crazy close to one of the game's many invisible auto-save lines (the hulk in Argul's dungeon is one of the best examples, and one of the most common to glitch), and if you hit one after it not counting the kill, or counting it for the wrong area, you're pretty much done.

I'm having trouble receiving the Pauldron of the Horseman and Chaos Fang. I've looked it up and people say to talk to the shaman, but she doesn't give me the option to receive them. She goes straight to the Sell/Buy menu. I already have a platinum trophy from Darksiders 1. How do you get these items?

Serpents tome i think, but i've read from the OF that a lot of people are having trouble getting it on any system

I couldn't get it at first either, the only thing that ended up working was quitting out of Darksiders 2, putting in and loading up Darksiders, saving, quitting out and then pulling up Darksiders 2 again. I think it might just be a bug with reading the trophy data, so it's possible that you don't need to load up Darksiders, but that's how it ended up working for me.

everything he's listed has happened to me 1-2 times in my first play through. It is a good game, it is the glitchiest console game i've ever encountered tho lol.

i just did this…. and right as i loaded darksiders 1 trophies started to unlock … apparently my trophy data was deleted <_<. i quit the game then synced my trophies and my darksiders 1 went back to 100%. wtf <.<

Edit: This did it i got the stuff from the shaman!

I was surprised they had the spare cash to make a commercial like that. Does the cheat code they did do anything in the game or did they use a combo of buttons that doesn't exist on any controllers?

[Datonare]

I guess I'm getting it worse than others. Entered the soul arbitur's maze, read the book, chose the level, yadda yadda. Didn't have the scrolls to get by level 5, so I left, upon leaving I got credit for entering the maze and now i need to read the book. now every time i read the book, game freezes. I must have had a hard freeze about seven or eight times now throughout my playthrough. almost criminal to release it in such a state... getting so frustrated x.x

Edit: And now apparently this quest is bugged beyond completion. Quest says to go to SA maze, get there and nothing happens... game still freezes when I read the book, regardless of restarting the game, going to a new zone, etc. Even tracking the quest doesn't give me the blue orb to follow. So retarded

[Datonare]

Against all buggy odds, managed to beat it finally. Some questions about NG+

Spoiler: show

I didn't advance yet to NG+, was going to try and complete all side quests and junk, even though it appears I can't re-enter Soul Arbitur maze... about the sound bites, I'm assuming I should try to collect all of those, right? Since they give perm stat boosts. Can you get them again on NG+?

[Viq]

I guess I've been lucky. I had one hard crash very early on, but that's the only time. I also had a bug where I beat a boss and his life bar stayed on screen for a little bit, but that's it for my bug experiences. Playing on PS3

[Rokku]

Welp, apparently my luck ran out on that front. At the last two dungeons of the game, and it's been crash city. I've hard locked 3 or 4 times now from just changing pages in the menu.

[Datonare]

Was a huge, huge fan of Darksiders 1, everything just seemed to click for me, especially the setting. I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic settings and I thought "obeying" by earth's environments made for interesting dungeons. Such as the cathedral and subway station/tunnels. Darksiders 2 obviously excelled in the gameplay dept., but the bugs have left such a bad taste in my mouth After I beat it, instead of replaying all the cool parts in my head, all I could take with me was how frustrating the bugs were. Then I got mad that I was mad about how I was mad at feeling frustrated. >.> Started up NG+, I just hope, because I can deal now with the hard crashes, that none of my sidequests bug out so I can at least plat the game

[Chrian]

now so far on pc I've only encountered a couple bugs when I was fighting the giant guardian. where I couldn't attack or shoot or grapple . are those bugs your all talking about pc or console?

All of the versions have issues, seems really hit or miss though. I had the DLC quest bug, and the handful of menu lockups, but I've been fine since then. Seems like it probably gets a little worse towards the end, but that's just my experience.

[Datonare]

All of my issues are on PS3. I have a phat 40 GB model if it matters. I got my PS3 about a year or so after they came out I think. A few hours in on my NG+ file and no issues yet, so here's hoping lol

Speaking of issues, did you ever figure a way around the whole problem of locking up when you touch the book in the Arbiter's maze? It's quite literally the last thing I have left to do in the game, but every time I hit circle to check it the game just hard locks.

[Saga]

hey with Lost and Found, I waited till after I woke up that giant Warden and the guy who offered me the quest is rolling with me now. I still haven't turned in part 2. Am I fucked? Will I be able to after whatever dungeon I'm about to complete?

[Boyiee]

So I'm still super early in the game, collecting the shit for the shamans first quest. I did the Lost Temple before getting the 3rd part, now I can't get constructs to respawn in there no matter what I do. I've gone to different areas, exited game entirely, etc. They just won't respawn and its infuriating.
