Searched for a topic but didn't find one except about the Activision sue. I could swear we had one but whatever.

Demo was good. The gameplay was actually a little meh and it was too short, but previews have shown there's way more aspects to the game than what's shown in the demo. Plus, the game oozes so much character it's really hard to not like it. Definitely picking this up some day, but maybe not a day 1 purchase from me.

Hmm... I guess I'll pre-order this after all. I just about never pre-order games.

[Someone Else]

So yeah, I did pre-order yesterday and this packaging is awesome. You can get it by pre-ordering at GameCrazy or Best Buy if you're in America. Dunno about other countries. If you're getting the game around it's launch, might as well do it.

Really, the packaging combined with this one-hour demonstration of gameplay that made me decide this is a day 1-ish buy.

I'm fuckin' pumped for this shit, hows about you?

[Someone Else]

I'm trying not to be too pumped, I vowed not to give into hype for games a while ago, but I'd be lying if I said that I don't think this game is gonna be a classic.

The thing I like most is the guitar and the open world. The last game that had a musical instrument that actually affects the game world was like, Wind Waker.

Every Brutal Legend purchased is a punch in Activision's money-bloated gut. POW.

This is fun.

Fuckin' awesome. Finished the main story already.

Tim is a genius. Especially where he puts Through the Fire and Flames.

No doubt some part in the game where you're driving through fire and flames?

[Someone Else]

I'm trying to go the main story at pace to make it last. I've got Uncharted 2 to play alongside it, which is also a very amazing game and loads better than the first.

I can see this game being a miss with a lot of people, though. Brutal Legend tries to do a lot of things but it doesn't really excel at any of them. It does excel at being a lot of fun with a lot of character, however, and for that reason I consider this game to be amazing. Having a taste for metal and classic hard rock helps a lot.

Joystiq is a douche and keeps trying to crash me when I try to quote a comment from it.

Only fitting that The Metal gets in the game, after Activision tried to kill it and failed.

Difficulty curve went up quite a bit after

Spoiler

Ironheade betrays Ophelia.

Playing on Brutal and it's been fairly easy until now. I've only found one set of 10 Bound Dragons though, soooo I guess I gotta go find more to get more gifts from the Metal gods.

[Someone Else]

NOSFERATUUUU

In what order are the benefits from freeing Bound Serpents? With each set of 10, I mean. I need units with more HP and I'm pretty sure that's a benefit you can get.

[Nosferatu]

If I remember 10s = Your Max HP, 20s = Nearby Unit Healing Bonus, 30s = Flight Speed and then 40s= How quick your health regenerates.

Btw, this might help. http://www.achievementhunter.com/games/gui...gend/index.html

I <3 Jack for that map.

Finished the game mofucka

From a story perspective, the game was too short. At the end

Spoiler

you do only one stage battle that wasn't even really a stage battle against Tainted Coil, then a decent boss fight against Deviculous and kill him. What SHOULD have happened is an epic tour against Tainted Coil to drive them out of your land.

From a gameplay perspective, it was about right in length. That is, IF you go it at pace and look for stuff to do and find between missions. If all you do is just story missions after story mission it is too short, and I pity you for doing it that way because you're doing it WRONG

[Caael]

Going back on ma mofuggin' rentals and getting this bitch.

Edit: Oh ffs, they've still not put it on the rental listings.

I love how many ways there are to play the game wrong <3
