Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 17

Okay, so I wasn't mistaken—I did beat this game yesterday. About 20 minutes after the stream began. But then, after the credits, I remembered the "Additional Campaigns," and continued into those. I finished Argul's Tomb, and decided that was a good point to call it a day. I think there's two more campaigns in there; wonder if I can clear 'em both today.

I have the other key, I have the rest of the Soul Arbiter's scrolls, time to knock some stuff out.

Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 14

Not quite as late today; I guess that's something. Found out the Archon, so I kicked his ass, and now I have one of the keys I need. Also realized I completely overlooked a sidequest in the Forgelands earlier, so went back and took care of that.

Ugh, running even later today. Still in the Ivory Tower (Fortress? Castle?).

I have been granted entrance to the City of the Dead. Haven't ventured too far in yet, though.

Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 8

Found some optional bosses that are just handing my ass to me...guess I'll be coming back for them later. In the meantime, fetching the king's wayward vassals.

Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 7

Okay, so maybe the "world-sized dungeon" assessment wasn't quite right, but things are sure getting bigger. Defeated the arena's champion, which is supposed to earn me an audience with the king guy...let's see if the chancellor keeps up his end of the bargain.

Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 6

I reached the Tree of Life, and across it traversed to the realm of the Dead. I've not fully explored it yet, but so far, it feels like a world-sized dungeon, which is kiiiinda cool. I'm sure it'll leave me feeling lost eventually, but right now, finding puzzles spread over such a wide area is pretty neat.

Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 5

Hey, I'm actually awake at a reasonable hour today, so Holding Court returns! I'm glad this game gives a little recap at the start of each session, cuz I'm gonna need it.

Unrelatedly, last night saw some technical difficulties, forcing me to postpone what I'd been planning. I'll get into more details next Thursday, but suffice it to say, yesterday's blog post became very inaccurate.

Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 4

I've caught back up, and then some! Recovered smithy-dude's hammer, awakened a bunch of constructs, found something acting like a point of no return that's definitely not a point of no return...progress.

Darksiders II continues shortly!

Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 3.2

Sorry for missing yesterday; baaaad insomnia the night before, keeping me up well into the morning, so when I did finally fall asleep, I slept long and hard. But I'm up at a much more reasonable time today, so on with the game! I did a lot of derping around for collectibles last stream, so I still have some catching up left to do.

Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 3.1

Okay, so it looks like the stuff I read was incorrect. I was not able to carry over the save. Thankfully, I hadn't gotten very far in the game yet, so there's not a lot of ground to retread; I'm already doing a lot better at it, too! Noticing spots that use abilities I didn't know I had when I came across them before, stuff like that. But I haven't quite caught up to where I was before.

Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 3

So, I realized this weekend that I apparently do have the "Deathinitive Edition" of this game, just on Twitch instead of Steam. I read that saves are compatible, so there shouldn't be any problem if I just launch this version instead—I should be able to resume from where I left off. But I haven't tested it yet, so we shall see.

Holding Court - Darksiders II - Session 2

Okay, there are things about this I like more than the first one. There's a couple of tiny, interface-related things I'm less big on, but that could be due to having played the remastered version of the first game, and those issues could well be fixed in the remastered version of this one. But that's not the version I have. :V

So, the Charred Council sends only one Horseman, even to the past? No...this visit is...unsanctioned. No one knows you're here.

So, having beaten the first game yesterday, I was expecting the sequel to pick up at the pseudo-cliffhanger (or at least sequelbait) ending. But watching a trailer, I no longer know what to expect. What could await the Rider on a Pale Horse?
