well, I tried the demo, seemed pretty decent but a lot of the sound effects sounded REALLY muffled... did anyone else get that?

Anyways, I might get it later onwards, but for now I'm afraid my holiday gaming budget is limited, so I'm getting Uncharted 2 and Assassins Creed II for the holiday season.

Preordered, should be in the mail on friday.

Meh, given the negativity here and on the IGN comments, it seems like this game will be Psychonauts all over again :(

(Also, to troll a bit: Borderlands will be rendered obsolete by Brink [was demo'ed at Gamescom, sooo awesome])

Unless it has at least a 9/10 rating, I'm not getting it.
Well IGN gives it exactly 9/10 so now you have to buy it.
At least a 9. I have to see other reviews first. I'm skeptical of this game. And besides...ugh(I know I'm gonna get shit for it) I didn't like Psychonauts that much, so I don't think I'll like this.

it does not seem worth the full price to buy it and I feel sorry for anyone who does buy it as they probably will find themselves shorted on the value of the game for their money :p

Batman Arkham Asylum was well worth the purchase, but Brutal Legend just does not seem like it is worth the full price. So maybe in discount bin, otherwise ill jsut rent it

On one hand, Tim Schafer (yay), on the other Jack Black (ugh), so not sure.

Whether I'll like it is kind of a moot point at the moment anyway (skint) so it'll have to wait. :(

Looks like yes. Loved the demo, loved the footage shown so far. This game definitely have a soul, you know. And since I already own Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls (played the latter long ago), Brutal Legend looks like the best of games I can buy this year from this moment.

Pre-ordered. I am sure, from trying the demo and following the game for a long time, that this is the game for me this year. It would be worth the cash just to be able to roam around the heavy metal world on foot. Seriously, have you guys seen that landscape? Most epic world ever!

Sadly I won't be able to play much online. I think. I don't have a private internet connection in my apartement. The one I use are the internet my landlords use, which means I cannot fiddle to much with it. Already tried once to open ports and stuff, but it's no good :( So I am stuck with strict nat. Not much online gaming with that. But if anyone wants to add me on XBL, feel free to do so. I might be able to play despite the strict nat.

I just watched the video review and it looks fucking stupid. What the hell where they ON?!

And even if it was made of jesus, I still wouldn't play it because it has Jack Black in it.

Looks interesting, and i like Jack Black.

But I think it's too much Jack Black for me.

Brutal Legend is coming out this week and I for one am really excited after playing the demo. It's made by Tim Schafer so I don't see how it could possibly be bad. So who else is excited (or dismayed) about this game's release? What are your thoughts on the glimpses we've been given so far? Will the multiplayer totally suck? Discuss.
I played the Demo, twice. I want to like it, I really want to like it. It's one of the only games to actually make me laugh out loud. But the combat, the combat ffs! It's so terrible =( It put me off it, so no, i won't be buying this game.
How is the combat terrible? Seems just fine to me.
Tell me, how does 8 hours (hopefully it lasts that long) of doing the same attacks over and over going to be fun? Plus there's the Prince of Persia style "throw the girl at the bad guys" attack, which isn't great.
15 hours of a GTA-esque Heavy Metal inspired open world, with over 50 varying missions within it, not counting all the sidequests that is.. You get a Battle Axe, a Magic Flying V, and a Hot Rod, all customizable to make gameplay more interesting thanks to the Motorforge run by Ozzy Osbourne's character, and a few other legends of heavy metal play characters in the game as well; such as Rob Halford, Lita Ford, and Lemmy Kilmeister. The "Throw girl at shit thing" is only with Ophelia. Each friendly NPC/Animal in the single player has a unique Double Team attack Like forming a mosh pit with headbangers, or throwing a demon porcupine at the "Hairbangers" shall we say.
And the multiplayer/certain missions in single player have full on RTS-ish wars. while you only control Eddie's Faction, Ironheade, in single player, you have access to two other factions in multiplayer. Drowning Doom, the Emo/Gothic faction that uses their music to make the other team weaker, and Tainted Coil, the S&M demons you fight in the single player. And all Factions have a dozen or so Troops/Solos to use strategically to take down your opponents stage with up to 4 teams versus 4 over Xbox live and PSN. This is just scratching the surface as well. Do some bloody research about the game before criticizing it.

Edit: I also forgot to mention the open world will be 64km/40 miles large.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but Demo's are meant to make you WANT to buy the game, I didn't experience any open world-ness in the Demo, just pure linear levels and a dodgy in-car boss fight.

It's all well and good but when you tell me of these legends of Heavy Metal but the only one I know of is Ozzy Osbourne, and just chucking famous people into a game doesn't make it good.

It should be in delivery this week, so come Wednesday I will give it a whirl on my lunch or something, but I doubt i'll be overly impressed.
All right, but the "Legends of Heavy Metal" thing only applies if you've been an actual follower of heavy metal for a while. The only person I didn't know aboout when the game was announced was Lita Ford, but meh. Also, a demos purpose is to give you a taste of the game, the linear level and "Dodgy" boss fight was just a linear tutorial to get you in the swing of things. I'm sure it will pick up in the full game. Hopefully you'll have fun with the game.

Someone give this man a medal.

All the reasons to purchase the game are right there folks.
*In an acceptance speech tone of voice.*Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Although I am 14 years old, and will only get this game for Christmas unless I get lucky, I can safely say I have pwned and teabagged kruxxor and his arguement like the high pitched noob he would picture me as. So it is with great honor that I accept this imaginary "Internet Medal of Win"
I'm gonna have to cut your dreams down right there. If that is all the game has then I wouldn't be getting to excited. Like he said same attacks over and over again unless you keep changing out the main secondary NPC. Your Jack Black character still has the same repetitive attacks. And first impressions from trailers should be what your first thought is going to be. He shouldn't have to research the game, the trailers and early-released gameplay vids should do that for you. I shouldn't have to research every game that I think looks bad. I have seen the gameplay and I have seen the multiplayer which has no appeal to me. And you need to shut your mouth when calling kids "noobs" because we can easily call you a "little kid fanboy". And plus he new about the throw the girl at the shit thing which you would kind of have to research to know. and he never said anything about the other NPC's double attacks so how do you know he doesn't know about them.

And on a medium-level unrelated note, What do people see in this game? It seems to be so highly anticipated when real games like CodMW2 and splinter cell 5 are out there. What is happening to the world.
Tim Schafer, an original game with a refreshing art style, and Heavy metal theme are factors. And trailers are supposed to make you interested in the game enough to find out more about it, play the demo, etc, and decide if it is worth the money. To me anyway, some people, not you, you're ok, just look at the first teaser two years before release and dcide right then and there you will hate it.

And to argue you points.

1. I said that was scratching the surface in my paragraphs, the game will have more to it than what I mentioned, that's just what Tim let us know about.

2. The upgrades you get make your attacks have special abilities and you unlock newer combos as the game progresses, to keep the combat somewhat fresh.

3. Or you just use the "Follow" command to easily bring some of your troops over for a Double Team attack.

4. The Main Character is just voiced by and partially inspired by Jack Black.

5. I all ready did the trailer thing.

6. Fair enough on the noob thing, I just had one of my "You suck because you aren't as informed about the game as I am from what i've seen" moments.

7. He said he saw his brother play the demo, so he could have easily seen the Double Teams from his brother. I how the fuck would I know about him knowing about other Double Teams unless he acknowledges them?

Bottom Line, we have different opinions on the subject. Multiplayer seems deep and entertaining to me, you don't seem to like the look of it. And to be fair, I was a Douche in my last post, kroxxer just seemed ignorant from his posts. Let's just stop arguing now before the mods get involved. I will get and (hopefully) enjoy the game, and you won't do either. I am done...also I fixed a few of your spelling mistakes.
The mods won't get invovled in something like this. Yea we both got our seperate thoughts on this game and I would have said you made a noble move bu then this. "I am done...also I fixed a few of your spelling mistakes." That is a very gay fucking thing to do. Like I have repeated in lots of my post, "I don giv uh fuk abot speling." SO don't be a little douche and do that shit.
