    Should have gone the console only route.

    Visceral didn't make DS2 *erm*

    LOL, my bad. I know it's Vigil, that was just a stupid typo.

    Also, it already is a fucking awesome game.

    Will post my impressions a bit later (if I can stop playing it ).

    In the meantime here is a pic of me wearing (more like holding) the mask:

    I wish they would sell those art books separately, they are normally really good.

    As for people saying they are getting the console version, I don't get it, it still looks better and runs better on your PC than on your 360 or PS3. You are running it at twice the res and probably 3x the fps, so if you are going to play it with a gamepad like I do, then there is no advantage in getting the console version.

    I'm still torn with this one. Only about 3 hours in now, and currently (IMO), it doesn't surpass its predecessor. I am still deciding whether or not I like the added RPG elements, and the larger areas etc. I also agree with some previous comments in that it doesn't feel like you're playing with "Death"; not to say the the colours aren't nice and everything, but I believe it should've been darker and gloomier, but perhaps I haven't reached those areas yet.

    Playing it with my PS3 pad now on the PC seeing that the keyboard/mouse doesn't feel adequate, and the lack of graphics settings just exclaims poor console port.

    It's still early stages, so I will continue to play and see what happens. In the end, I'm just killing time until Borderlands 2 arrives.

    That was one of my thoughts and I already didn't like DS1 too much.

    Camera adaption felt either too fast or just plain stupid, especially if you had to perform jumps from a column to another one.

    I'd use TSW, Bioshock 1 and RDR for that

    You're assuming everybody has a powerful PC. I prefer console for quite a few reasons (including the couch and the 40" HDTV), but I also have a pretty basic PC that won't max games out. I'd imagine it would look the same on my PC as it does on console.

    Also, Xbox achievements.

    I started my review playthrough last night (X360 FYI) and so far I'm enjoying it. Sure, the visuals aren't razor sharp and the slow camera is a bit annoying, but I had a lot of fun nonetheless.

    I'll add more impressions as I go.
