Re: Darksiders
Jim, that does suck big time. I have given up on this game so many times, only to run back to it the next day out of pure frustration. Last night I got so fed up that I just quit and started my play through with Mass Effect. I should have never played this game on Apocalyptic. I tried for the first time in a very long time to play a game on the hardest difficulty first, but it has hurt some of my enjoyment since I think playing it on Normal or Hard would have been the best route to take.
Granted mine weren't save issues, but issues with Apocalyptic mode being insane during the boss fights. I hope that Vigil games listens to the issues from people for the sequel. The end to me is a very unbalanced video game as the hack n' slash pretty much goes out the window and it becomes puzzle after puzzle. In some ways this game is better than Zelda, but in others if you are trying to imitate the master you might as well do it the correct way.
Well, this totally blows.
**********SPOILERS FOLLOW***********
I am at the Black Throne stage and have defeated the Tower Guardian. I had previously set up the lights so that they were shining across the towers all the way to the Azael. After reloading my saved game (and downloading the patch), the the light is no longer active. I do everything I am supposed to, but opening the 2 portals on the rotating surface above Azael does nothing; there is no cut scene and no stairs to ascend to Straga.
I can load previously saved games along the way, but still the light is not active. The only thing I can do is load an earlier game save which puts me back into the game just before I fight the spider boss, meaning I will have to replay at least 3 hours of the game. I said "screw this!" and started Mass Effect 2. Now I don't know if I will ever have the patience to finish Darksiders. Bummer, as I was really enjoying the game up until then and was determined to finish it before starting another game.
