Support NeoGAF

[Krathoon]

I never finished this game. So, it is time to fire it up again.
Time to find that secret record.




Let the heavy metal commence!

 

[Krathoon]

I got this on Steam, but maybe I should get the DRM free gog version. I actually should see what other Double Fine games are on gog.

 

[Krathoon]

Is Jack Black on NeoGAF?

 

[CitizenZ]

Game deserves a sequel, OMG I have so many ideas to place Jack Black and heavy metal against music today. Imagine Black Sabbath vs BTS, holy shit im laughing just think about the possibilities.

 

[Sleepwalker]

please god where is my sequel

 

[Bragr]

The RTS sections are great. This is the real truth.

Now that Microsoft is their daddy, a sequel might, just might, maybe, be something we can hope for.

 

[Magnific0giganticus]

Loved that game.

 

[BadBurger]

I liked the intro and first hour or two, but lost interest when it turned into a kind of third-person strategy game. It just wasn't what I was expecting.

 

[Punished Miku]

Never was into Double Fine. Beat Psychonauts 1 this year. Now I'm definitely playing Brutal Legend at some point.

 

[Krathoon]

I had trouble with the skirmish with the goths. That was where I quit.

 

[Krathoon]

Does the PC Brutal Legend have the DLC?

Edit: Why yes, Krathoon. It does. This is you from the future!

 

[Connificent]

Carmageddon 2 is the best metal game

Double Fine games are great. They are some of the most creative games out there. Grasshopper Manufacture is also good.

 

[Krathoon]

Get the remaster of Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, and Day of the Tentacle if you don't have them.

10th Anniversary Stream

Watch the creative director play the game.

 

[01011001]

uhm, it's Brütal Legend! the umlaut is essential!

 

[trikster40]

Fantastic game, wasn't a super fan of the RTS segments especially on the hardest difficulty, but I did get the plat on it. It just oozed so much love for metal and creativeness. Definitely would pick up a remake or sequel.

 

[Krathoon]

It seems like Tim Schafer prefers the Steam version. Maybe more people are playing it on the PC.

 

[Wildebeest]

I wish there was a full campaign for the other factions like in classic RTS. Be back in a heartbeat to play the Tainted Coil story. I get how some felt like the strategy game gameplay was sprung on them from nowhere and dropped the game.

Yeah. The game just dumps you into it. All of a sudden, it is an RTS. If there is a sequel. They should have separate campaigns.

Any game that uses Painkiller by Judas Priest as a final boss track is a must play in my book.

 

[KungFucius]

This game was amazing. Loved it back when it launched

 

[AJUMP23]

Thought it was Hack and slash and it turned into an RTS. I enjoyed it.

 

[Krathoon]

Bah. I think I forgot to download Brutal Legend to my laptop.

 

[Krathoon]

I actually did remember to put it on my laptop. There was some studdering. I think it was because I was running off the battery.

 

[Valt7786]

Absolutely incredible game. The intro when you're being chased by the monks with the intro to children of the grave playing until you pick up the axe/guitar and then the full song kicks in has always stuck with me. Loved every minute of it.
The RTS bits weren't even bad, or hard and you could fly down and take part in the action at any time anyway.

 

[Fuz]

Fucking fantastic game.

Sure, the RTS sections were subpar with the rest. Still great.

Never finished this game. Sadly.
The writing is great, with lots of humor.
Amazing soundtrack. Lots of cameos from classic metal music.
Nice art style. Graphics were a bit low quality, even for the time.
But what really kills it is the gameplay. Most of it is just boring. Not bad, but just boring.
What really made me give up, was the rts part. It was so poorly made, that it made continuing the game a chore.
A real shame, because the rest of the game is really good.
