So I noticed that right as I started the new campaign I was bootless, so I go to check the inventory. I can nowhere in my inventory find the boots, I also see that I am missing some rings, amulets, belts, etc. none of which are DLC items mind you. I imported my character from the main game and noticed that I had my bow equipped and not my daggers (as I am a Rogue). So this really irks me, I realize that I will eventually find better gear but what gives here ? Anyone else notice this ?
I soooo cannot wait to get my hands on the game, I pre-ordered the Ultimate edition, which was I hope an OK decision. I debated and debated, but by the time I got finished debating Amazon had already shipped my order lol. At any rate I chose 1 day shipping so hopefully I get it soon. Edit: @velocity: Lol @ your pic of the cat with the wii-mote on its head :P
I am alright with the score to be honest, I think it is justified, I get what you are saying about things like Gears 2 and Halo 3 and such, as being more of the same. Really though I dont see why anyone would complain about the scores its getting, I mean if we were talking 5's and 6's then that'd be cause for concern but 8-8.5's thats a damn good score, not GOY, but good.
Bit disappointed with AvP 2's score, and was hoping Dante's Inferno would've turned out a little better. Though, this will save me a bit of money as now I am only buying Bioshock 2, and renting AvP 2 + DI. I am perfectly OK with Bioshock 2 getting the score it got, as I want to learn a bit more about Rapture and all, so I am basically fine with "more of the same". That said I hope 2K hasn't got any plans on a Bioshock 3, hopefully 2 has a decent ending. Also after reading the latest GI, I am very much looking forward to LA Noire, looks pretty promising imo, so I am not sad whatsoever for 360.
All games borrow from one another to some extent. That said Im not really sure exactly what it was about Mercs 2, but luckily I rented it, played maybe about 45 min of it and decided it just wasn't for me, maybe I should have given it a little longer, I dont know.
Rouge Warrior stinks of some side project thrown together in haste to get out for the holiday season, it is likely not reflective of a developers ability. Lots of developers, even those behind everyone's favorite AAA franchises have made bad games before. Sepewrath
I believe I recall reading somewhere that Rogue Warrior went through two different developers, the latter of which obviously ended up being Rebellion. Bethesda gave them something like 8 or 9 months to get it done, and thus we ended up with the Rogue Warrior that's on shelves right now. Not really defending the game or anything but I think the POTENTIAL was there for at least a moderately good game, but who knows. Given that Rebellion has had/ is having ample time to develop the new AvP game, I think it will turn out quite good.
How will it hold up to Bayonetta? Well, first off I don't understand the comparison as they are drastically different, but whatever. Personally, I think Darksiders looks like AAA material and Bayonetta looks like a mediocre over-the-top action game with a main character that looks like she was made by a horny 14-year old nerd. So, in short, I think Bayonetta will have the hard time. Of course, critics seems to disagree.

They're being compared because they're both highly rated games that are being released on the same day, and most people can't afford to spend $120 on games in one day.
I'll be playing both, probably Darksiders first, considering DMC4 wasn't that long and wasn't particularly replayable, so Bayonetta will be a renter/bargain-bin purchase eventually.
Still very different games, the fact that they have the same release date really means nothing. Bayonetta is in the same vein as DMC, while Darksiders is more of a mixture of God of War and Zelda.
