This is going to be brilliant.


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.

I love the ESRB.

OANST 09-01-2009 06:21 AM
They should put that on the box.

OANST 09-17-2009 08:32 AM
I will be playing Brutal Legend tonight. In my house. Yes, yes. You can cry now.

Mac Sirloin 09-17-2009 07:11 PM
How?

Lucky bastard

How?
pre-order early demo access...

meh, I played it before you :p

OANST 09-18-2009 06:41 AM
By the way, IT'S FANTASTIC!

Daxter King 09-19-2009 07:58 AM
Im willing to give you my account info if you download it on my account so I can download it on my box.

OANST 09-19-2009 08:13 AM
Just go pre-order it, for Christ's sake.

Hobo 10-02-2009 04:37 PM
The demo was ace. Will be buying.

Nate 10-09-2009 08:50 PM
The first reviews come out:

OANST 10-10-2009 06:43 AM
That video made me physically ill.

Oh, look. He's into politics!

Mac Sirloin 10-10-2009 07:36 AM
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.

Disgruntled Intern 10-14-2009 11:32 AM
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.

OANST 10-16-2009 06:37 AM
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.

Wings of Fire 10-16-2009 06:58 AM
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.

OANST 10-16-2009 07:39 AM
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.

I have it! And I love it to bits

the only problem is that I have way too much work to be able to play it as much as I want.

But be sure I'll try you out on the multiplayer once I have some time to practice.

OANST 10-16-2009 09:55 AM
I'll keep an eye out for you.


Plus, we could help each other get those pesky multiplayer achievements. I fucking hate multiplayer achievements.

You've got yourself a deal sir

Disgruntled Intern 10-16-2009 02:25 PM
Yeah, bought it. Love it.

OANST, when I get back on gold, you can help me with these multiplayer achievements AND the multi-achievements for Splosion man. Because you love me.

I haven't actually finished the multiplayer on 'Splosion Man, and I am obsessive compulsive enough that it bothers me. The lag is usually so bad that the later levels are impossible online, and April sucks so bad at the game that it usually just ends up with me yelling "Splode on splode, motherfucker! Not on 1! Not on 2! Not on 3! On splode, you fucking asshole!" And then we stop playing while she contemplates leaving me.

Also: Are you even on my friends list? 'Cause you should be.

Aw, my feelings are officially crushed. I mean, you're on my friends list. I am openly weeping now. Dorian wandered by and asked why, and I told her I was just really excited about being a Dad. But don't tell her that. She's the jealous type.

The fuck is your name on Live? How have I never known that you were on my list?

Disgruntled Intern 10-16-2009 02:48 PM
Johnny_Truant21. I think there's an underscore there. I have no idea how you didn't know. I shot you a message and a couple of game invites on more than one occasion, and you never got back to me. I had always assumed you were idle.

OANST 10-16-2009 02:50 PM
I thought you were SeaRex. Seriously, I didn't know that was you.

Disgruntled Intern 10-16-2009 02:59 PM
Ha, Searex. I keep hoping one of these updates will make body piercings a possibility for the avatars, as without my septum jewelry, my avatar looks like yet another scruffy nerd.

Dream a little dream, I guess.

Back on the subject of Brutal Legend, I'm with you on the collectibles. A couple of the races have actually irked the shit out of me too. I hate the fact that the Ed Roth-esque toad monster can send you flying off a cliff with the slightest nudge.

OANST 10-16-2009 03:01 PM
If you get ahead of him by using nitro on your first straight away you will never see him again. I beat all of those in one try. Then again, I played it normal. I can't vouch for brutal.

Disgruntled Intern 10-16-2009 03:08 PM
The problem I've had a couple of times with the nitro strategy is that he'll often ram me before I really get going, causing me to spin out. Which means I brake. Which means nitro wasted.

I can't say they've all taken me just one try.

Nate 10-16-2009 05:53 PM
I probably shouldn't buy a PS3 at the moment, what with being a poor struggling student and the approaching end of semester (and thus approaching end of my very low pay packet). So I shall retract from this thread in the meantime until I can actually get and play the BL.

I thought that you had a 360 for some reason. I guess not.


I picked up three more of the items I was missing last night. Only four more to go. I'm pretty sure that they are all on the eastern continent, so hopefully I won't have too much trouble finding them.

Disgruntled Intern 10-17-2009 07:02 AM
When do you get bat wings? I want them.

OANST 10-17-2009 07:06 AM
You can only use the bat wings in the big rts battles. Sorry to disappoint those who wanted them for the larger world. It 'aint gonna happen.

Disgruntled Intern 10-17-2009 07:08 AM
Well that fucking blows. A lot.

Wings of Fire 10-17-2009 11:23 AM
Well I bought it today and I r staying round a friends house tonight having a marathon of it.

This is really really awesomely amazing, a fantastic adventure game was just what I needed.

OANST 10-17-2009 11:32 AM
Good man.

Anonyman! 10-19-2009 04:08 AM
How's the multiplayer?
