I take it most of you must have grabbed the game by now so how is it ?. I am completely new to the series so i have no idea what to expect really but i am hoping it be fun for a couple hours at least.

I didn't even know it was released.

Currently downloading the game. The first part was pretty awesome if you are a fan of hack'n'slay games. If you liked darksiders, you will like this game too.

meh, old title, dont think the new one will be any better.......

First one was fun, there was no need for thought when playing so it was an easy pick and play type game, I expect the second to be the same.

Pretty buggy game, it won't even start the first time unless i unplugged all wireless devices attached to computer then it won't load the mission and get stuck at the loading screen.

Going to grab a crack and see if this solves it. Fuckin activision

it is a fun hack 'n slash game, but unlike the original prototype, there is more purpose behind it

are you going to train it?

Yep but seeing as how buggy it is, i am just going to throw a +6/7 trainer cause i don't feel like putting a lot of effort in it. Maybe if they release a patch that fixes the problems and let me play without using a crack .

No they're not.
Activison are but they're so fucking inept that they would close themselves before realizing what they did...no loss either.

if the game is out on xbox and launches on pc it is a console port, that is the case in my experience.....

Haha, it is not really that hard to train for a change

But its not the overall truth.

People see a game and see a UI that is similar to the console version and automatically say "OMG CONSOLE PORT"... its just a UI

They forget that specific APIs for the engine etc is PC only, and doesn't work on the XBox. And obviously some titles come with their own API filled .dll file.

Some games do have console ports that is obvious in the way it plays etc, but too many people just assume a console port. Also it doesn't matter if its released at same time that also doesn't mean its a console port

[Cooperb]

but lets not forget that nearly every game engine in multi platform now....

[DABhand]

It can be compiled into binaries needed for each system yes, doesn't mean its a port.
