  • That's why they call me Whiskers
  • the patches created other problems...this is nonsense from thq..make a bug infested game and then release patches that are just worse and crash the game...arrrgggg..i want my 150$ back as i bought the 2 versions of the game...
  • Seems like these issues are in all versions, weird that the PS3 gets the fix first.
  • Haven't had a single issue with this game on PS3 besides some minor frame rate drops. This game is definitely my game of the year so far, at least until the 18th.
  • The game really only gave me one or two issues. First was being able to read the Mysterious Book in my first play through. I had to do this to initiate the Soul Arbiter maze. The new game + feature resolved this. The other is an increase of freeze issues. It has been been better since the patches; yet I froze on my Crucible run to get to Wicked K. Got to wave 89 with all the Fleshbursters when it decided to freeze.

    No biggie now, I just eagerly await the Argul's Tomb and whatever other content they may have. Excellent game on all fronts.
  • Sounds like a good patch. You would think they would patch up the 360 version as well.
  • This game rocks.

  • The only problem I remember having was on Earth, when I had to collect the 3 pieces of the macguffin.  Whenever I would try to enter a new area, I would make it maybe a foot or so in, and not be able to go any further.  Not sure if the patch fixed it with its "improved general stability", but I hope so.

  • Need to get back to playing this, but I think beating Mass Effect 3 for the first time may be more important.
  • Thank God. The game is pretty glitchy.

  • Mmmm Darksliders

  • I havent got to play this yet,hopefully the 360 version will get patched.
  • This was my most anticipated game of the year but all of the bugs and the repetitive nature of the game really made it hard to enjoy as much as I wanted to. I'm glad at least some of the issues are getting fixed. Hopefully the "general stability" includes making the O button work properly on small enemies, having Death actually grip to Ghost Hand points above him rather than reaching out in front of him (which usually leads to a fall into lava or abyss) and other fixes for things that hampered my game.

  • I'm not going to lie.  I love this game but the screen tearing is very hard to take this seriously.  Hopefully this patch fixes other peoples problems as well as mine.

  • I noticed this yesterday. I'm getting hammered with bugs. A lot of times when I get a skeleton key the pop up never shows up which for some reason makes me unable to pause and open my weapons reel. So when I need to change my pistol to the death grip I'm screwed. Plus, all the times Death falls into walls never to be seen again.

  • Will it fix the cutting out of sound? I lost all dialogue (and subtitles) during a key plot point.

  • I hope the general stability part fixes the choppy framerate at some parts. really annoying when you run around and the game stutters.

  • They should have patched in something resembling a compelling narrative. Christ this game is boring.

  • "Players will be able to back up their save without having to use an online save"

    are you telling me that from launch,this game only had a cloud saving option?? wt*?

    So if i had bought this game i could´nt save my game? (no Internet)
