Interesting @Tyranexx I don't remember having that issue. But during a mini boss fight in a room in that dungeon I was using the dash harpoon move and he froze but the enemies didn't and I ended up dying. Only happened once though
@Tyranexx Pun entirely unintended, but I guess it was a fitting one, when you're talking about mosquitoes...
And yes, I thought you meant the price difference for the second game, but that was because of the way you said it:
I was debating about picking up Darksiders II used since I'm enjoying the first game, but I think at this point that a Switch version will be somewhat likely. Though I AM mildly curious why the Wii U version retailed only at $19.99 at launch while the Switch version is $29.99.
Normally, I'd say "my bad" for misinterpreting, but in this case, well... at least you got how I made that assumption...
And yeah... Tiamat might take a couple of tries for quite a few people. To be honest, it has been quite a while for me, and because I also played the original even much longer ago, on the Xbox 360, I honestly don't know anymore if I managed to best him the first time around, but probably not, because I'm always kind of a gung-ho fighter, instead of a balanced, anticipating one. And then there's the fact that I too had to figure out the whole skill tree and weapon balancing thing, since nobody told me, so I had to do that on my own. Luckily, the game does give you the odd pointer here and there.
As for the grinding: I should have elaborated. I didn't mean that you should collect EVERYTHING, just that you rack up the total amount of credits needed for the stuff you want. So, say you want the scythe, a better shield and a set of upgrades and/or health potions, just add all these up, and then go and collect ALL the points that you need to buy them all at once, instead of having to go back and forth to the shop multiple times. I never got all the stuff either, nor do you have to, in order to be able to finish the game.
As long as you have enough variety in both your weapons and your own skill set, and besides variety of course also enough upgrades, where the skill set is concerned, you'll do just fine.
So, I see you've experienced your first glitches. I also had the lava one, although without the infinite falling, so just clipping and a bit of sinking. I honestly forgot all about it. The one I remembered most vividly, was a freeze right after a boss fight, the one on the level with all the broken freeway parts, pretty early in the game. Annoyingly, the freeze was after the fight, but happened during a cut scene and a save, meaning the save wasn't done, so I had to do the sequence all over again. Luckily, that second time did go right, and I was able to move on from there. Never experienced a freeze or glitch since.
Haven't finished it yet, so I can't really say if I'll be able to complete the game without any further hindrances, but so far, so good, so it would seem that there might be a difference between various versions of the Wii U, and/or the game (might even be some kind of disparity between the NTSC and PAL versions) that causes some people to experience more glitches and/or freezes than others.
Just out of curiosity: is the Wii yours, or is it the family console? If it's the former, then no parent or sibling would be able to prevent me from taking it home with me. I still have mine, even though I also have a Wii U. I just decided to keep my Wii U in its original state, seeing as I already modded the heck out of my Wii, and I don't feel like having to do all of that again, so I've now got one Wii/ultimate retro gaming machine all in one box, and the Wii U for its own games.
And don't scoff at people still playing Wii Sports: although I stick to the Sports Resort version nowadays, I still do the odd game of bowling and/or other sports every now and then.
That Hannah Montana game, though...

If you want to know more about the Darksiders series/franchise as a whole, and you've got 1,5 hours to spare anywhere in the near future, then you might wanna give this one a watch:
It's quite good, and interesting, if you're into finding out about origins, making of videos and that kinda thing. As for Joe Madureira: he sure was involved. Heck, it was his studio that made the first game, War is all his work, and he came up with most of the other characters as well. He also still had creative control over the second game to some extent.

@Tyranexx if you think DS1 is challenging, stay far, far, far, far away from DS3......or as I like to call it: Sider Souls. It literally clones Souls, albeit more actiony and slightly simpler. It's actually kind of cool and I like it more than the real DS in a lot of ways (DSouls purists will hate me.) But man is it brutal.
Also, I always wondered who actually bought things like the Hanna Montana game. Now I know.
