Brutal Legend

[Renzokuken]

Wow, what a disappointingly short game for an RPG/quasi-RTS game. Took me like 5 days playing maybe an hour or two each day. I feel ripped off.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

ooh.

oh thank god, I almost got this.

Still waiting for Dragon Age here. Or whatever it's called.

 

[Krovvy]

Thanks for the warning! Aha, that's kind of sad, especially when I think of much older games that have easily 10x the content.

 

[Renzokuken]

Let me elaborate a little. The story was progressing nicely and the big bag guys were set in place and all those foundations were shaken when the protagonist got it wrong, he thought Doviculus (big bad guy) was this obvious fella we meet near the start and everyone says that's not him, but somehow we kill the obvious guy and the game ends? Ten fucking minutes ago you said he wasn't the bad guy, WTF.

Also, since this game is based around metal and you fight other genres (glam rock at first, then the emo's) I was expecting at least a few more genres to fight. The glam rock "race" (so to speak) has most of it's units similar to the units you churn out, so there's really no difference, the emo's have a lot different and I was excited about vsing other genres, but the game ended abruptly.

Eh, it was so weak.

Somehow, I'm getting used to that whenever Jack is involved. His movies also tend to end without a proper, erm, ending. But from what I saw in trailers and such, the graphics were really bad. Were they?

 

[Renzokuken]

The graphics were fine. I mean you could say that the style was bad, because it wasn't realistic, but that's not the style they were going for.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

Realistic != good and unrealistic != bad.

 

[Aurora]

It's just that it looked like something a ps2 could easily handle from the commercials.

As for realism: don't care. As long as the style fits the gameplay there should be on problem. Kind of worried about the new style of Borderlands for that very reason, though. Not sure he the cell shading will fit the game. I've read that the consoles couldn't handle the realistic graphics, but still. It would have been awesome.

 

[Renzokuken]

The Wii can't handle some games (CoD4 for example) that's why 90% of their shit looks cartoony.

 

[Raya Wolfsun]

Does the game at least have a good soundtrack? It is a music-based game after all... just saying...

 

[Renzokuken]

Actually, yeah it does. Drive around and listen to metal.
