Heh, that's a matter of taste...

I saw Ministry on their last tour, made me wish I knew about them earlier. Now that I think of it I actually saw a whole bunch of the bands on this list live.

I saw them when Filth Pig came out in '95.

Well, I'm officially jealous...

Anyway I've just read a "review" of the song selection and I can't believe how much I disagree with this guy: http://spinelanguage.wordpress.com/2...brutal-legend/

One thing is sure, Double Fine have included enough songs and variation to please almost anybody. I'm quite excited to discover the bands I don't know about, but I'll wait until I hear the songs in the game.

Very nice. I can't wait.

I LOVE YOU TIM

The description from the ESRB has been revealed:

This is an action adventure/role-playing game that tells the story of Eddie Riggs, a roadie who is transported to a mythical world of heavy metal rock. Eddie is armed with a guitar and a double-headed axe, which players can use to slash and dismember enemies. Players can also perform "face-melting solos" (literally melting enemies' faces), meet humanoid creatures dressed like dominatrixes and brandishing whips, and liberate an army of rockers from a life of oppression. Although the storyline is often irreverent and whimsical, the depictions of violence are somewhat intense: Undead humanoids are dismembered with an axe (sometimes in slow-motion); a "Steel-Quilled Blade" causes human enemies to explode into gibs that rain down; machine guns, missile launchers, and sub woofers can be used to kill druids and other fantastical creatures. Eddie can also run over dozens of enemies with his hot rod, resulting in blood effects and more heads and limbs getting chopped off. During the course of the game, characters sometimes engage in suggestive dialogue intended for comedic effect (e.g., "Maybe with all your feedback, you guys could just blow me over the gorge" and "Playtime's over. Now let's get back to the orgy"). Players will also encounter "Skull Rakers" clad in bondage gear and amazon-like warriors dressed in leather outfits that partially reveal buttocks and breasts. Strong profanity (e.g., "f*ck," "sh*t," and "d*ck") can be heard in the dialogue

Although to me that makes it sound like they're promoting the game, rather than warning people about it.

They should put that on the box.

I will be playing Brutal Legend tonight. In my house. Yes, yes. You can cry now.

The demo premiers on Live on Sept. 17th.

Lucky bastard

How?

pre-order early demo access...

meh, I played it before you :p

By the way, IT'S FANTASTIC!

Im willing to give you my account info if you download it on my account so I can download it on my box.

Just go pre-order it, for Christ's sake.

The demo was ace. Will be buying.

The first reviews come out:

That video made me physically ill.

Oh, look. He's into politics!

Wow.
It would be one thing if he was just saying stupid shit about Brutal Legend for attention, but it seems like he's a genuinely stupid person.

Does that kid have really big hands, or a really small head?

Or just a combination of both? I've been terrorizing this little fuck on youtube for months.

Am I the only person here who bought this game? If so, shame on you people.

The game is fucking gigantic. And fun. And awesome. The only complaint that I would have is that there are no indicators for where the collectibles are. It doesn't tell you that you have 12/13 in Bladehenge, and so on. Sooo, you have something like 64 square kilometers that you have to scour to find approximately 300 collectibles. I have found all but 7, and they have me wanting to tear my hair out.

I am possibly buying it tomorrow, I've found a tv and a way to get onto the net with my 360 so really I don't have any excuse not to.

Also, bitches ragequit like crazy in the multiplayer. The only game that made it to the end was the one that I was losing. All the times that I was winning, they would leave half way through the match.
