Every now and then the games press will throw its weight behind an upcoming title, writing raving previews in the hopes that gamers will give it a chance. This was done with BioShock, and thankfully the hype came true. Right now Brutal Legend seems to be the game journalists are heaving onto their shoulders, desperately trying to make consumers aware of designer Tim Schafer's inevitable gem.
Prepare to headbang your way into glory with these metal-infused games. You'll find yourself flipping your hair in pure excitement.
The Humble Day of the Devs Bundle 2022 just launched. It includes sixteen items including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, and more.
The world of Brutal Legend looks like something a 14 year-old metal head would draw on their notebook while not paying attention.
Liked the aesthetic, tone, humor, and action combat.
Didn't care for the RTS elements.
Never cared to finish it.
PS360 gen was special, then again it was still the mid 2000s. Everything went to shite in the teens
I think that was the breaker for Doublefine's creative ambitions and their mixing of genres (which was getting kinda stale). It was a nice to look at but it was more of a tribute to the many things Tim loves, was influenced by and has great admiration for....but the forced RTS stuff was like a drinking buddy's "great idea" that never should have come to light. The game seemed a lot more vast, but it ended pretty quickly too. And Jack Black. As much as I don't care for him as an actor (annoying and requires constant attention), this was absolutely made with him in mind and it worked. I mean come on, Tenacious D? For as Metal as this game was trying to be, even comically, it did little more than meow.
Fun gameplay
Good graphics
Hollywood voice acting
Tim Schafer
Funny Dialog
Why not be hyped?
This game looks last gen
no thanks, Ill be playing a better game when this comes out :|
I'm hyped for Brutal Legend and I agree with some the article's points.
The game itself isn't really doing anything new. What makes Brutal Legend hype worth is Tim Schafer's track record of creating games that not only deliver a great unique story but an immersive gaming world.
So you can tell yourself you don't need a PS3 that day for Uncharted 2 since they release on the same day.
Even though that's the fanboy in you lying to your face
its sad that the bots only have this game to play on Oct. 13
but of course they will stand in line just so they can give this game sells and proclaim its better than U2
