Half demon bard

Class: Roadie.

Greatest Roadie of All Time(4); Heavy Mettle(3); Musical Mayhem(3).

I really wish they'd just gone full God of War ripoff, instead of that godawful hybrid RTS/Overlord system.

The RTS elements were always the point, but the publisher wouldn't allow Double Fine to advertise it.

The RTS was the best part.

Doesn't mean it was a good idea. Game pretty much marked.tbe point Tim Schaeffer lost the plot

But controlling it was a razor wire catheter.

Bard/Barbarian multiclass.

The story and art direction are the real draw, not the gameplay -- although the gameplay was great up until the introduction of the RTS. This is one instance in which the dickish publisher was actually in the right; it would have been better as an open-world hack and slash game.

The greatest two moments of Veeky Forums sorry for me are Starcraft: Ghost being killed and how dissapointing it was that this was not a hack n' slash. How can you miss the obvious so hard.

Agreed. Everything really fell flat after The Metal Queen.

What system?

Bardbarian

Your choice.

Skald?

It was hack 'n' slash, the RTS elements were neat, but really you just had to assign some folks to defend while you ran around chopping heads and melting faces.

While I could wish the RTS portion was more robust, I'll still call it one of the greatest games ever made.

As someone who's recently bought the game, how do you handle that mission where you escort the tour bus to attack Lionwhyte's fortress?

unfinished

There was going to be a third continent.

And the publisher won't let Double Fine release the patches they created to fix some pretty terrible, game-breaking problems.

I know.

Game had potential. Almost every legendary game had shitty publishers and is unfinished tho. Its almost like a curse.

Didn't Veeky Forums have a self-created setting that was sort of similar to Brutal Legend?

Brutal 3, Legend 2

The best part of the game was assembling your army and seeing it grow into a face melting fight force. The RTS elements emphasized and complemented the feeling that you weren't just one man fighting an evil overlord, but assembling and leading a revolution and I wish they had been given more time to polish that aspect instead of being forced to include some cookie cutter hack n slash missions because some execs were scared that dudebros wouldn't buy it if they saw RTS gameplay in the trailers.

You're playing as a roadie assembling his 'band' of warriors, yeah.

>itt people who never played sacrifice
And the style was the real draw. I've never 100%d a game before Brutal Legend but exploring the world and driving around with Brocas helm screaming in my ears made me want to get everything.

Nice!

I fuckin' love Risus.

>And the publisher won't let Double Fine release the patches they created to fix some pretty terrible, game-breaking problems.
Did they patch it for the PC release?

You shoot the bikes

I figured that much; I was just wondering if there was a trick to it because I'd failed the mission two, three times.

I've completed it now.

To the best of my knowledge, no.

>There was going to be a third continent.

This is the first time I actually hear this, but I remember being very surprised that the game ended where it did back when I played it all those years ago.

Yea most of the game is straight forward
If you can't beat something it's because you weren't playing good enough
Except for those fucking racing missions those are retarded and you basically have to drive perfectly and know the course ahead of time while spamming the nitro from start to finish

>SQUEAAAALER

We were going to fight the Tainted Coil on their own soil.

What would be the best way to stat his weapons?
In Pathfinder.

Separator? It's just a battleaxe with any number of enchantments.

Unless you meant Clementine, in which case I'm not sure.

>just a battleaxe
It was a battleaxe wielded by an empress of demons capable of being one handed by someone with zero combat training. That's not 'just a battleaxe'.

Eddie is a half-demon himself and inherited his mother's inhuman strength.

I know that he's demonic. Its not even a spoiler since you figure that bit out the first time he sprouts wings. And there's no evidence that he had any inhuman strength at all before or after coming to the Brutal Land. If they had said he put up the whole stage by hand, sure, but its never specified.

He picked up two of those huge amps at the Screaming Wall by himself, holding one in each hand.

I figured they were light as hell and the roadies just squated down for balance. Especially since they were barely trifled by the luggage.

Remember when Eddie built the Druid Plow, moving the chassis and parts by himself?

He's clearly stronger than a man should be.

Yeah, when you get to that part, it's sooooo short. You only figth them as roaming bands, not as full army (Except at the end). The Drowning Doom ends being your main enemy up until the end. We needed more Doviculus. Tim Curry rocked on the role.

Would love a sequel.

Fair enough.
I did lots of diving back into the first continent and Bladehenge to see just what they did to the place after you left.
It also kinda annoyed me about some of the patrols. I'm fine with them existing around the great highway, all along the second continent, and in the pleasure tower but why the fuck is a Skullraker and Warfather able to patrol literally right next to Bladehenge.

I don't understand why producers don't let developers finish their games. You don't just chop off a third and say, "It's done!" because you're hungry for a Christmas release or some shit.

To be fair, Schafer is notorious for being awful with following a schedule/budget.

Brutal Legend is just the current example.

Remember Spore?

Spore was much more than just pushing it out too early, spore had so many fundamental bits altered to have a larger appeal its not even funny.

It was good but I can definitely see user's point. The game is basically false advertising, even if what we got was still good.

It does, however, serve as an example of being sold a game that didn't resemble its advertisements.

Now that I remember, I felt the same way with Full Throtle. The ending comes abruptly, the game felt way too short

So how much of the soundtrack and other voice actors were because of Jack Black?

soundtrack is all licensed and jack black only voices the main character I think

Well two of the songs are Tenacious D, so there's that.

This game was fuckin' baller, man.

What would you guys want to see in a sequel?

More Tainted Coil. And a few more factions representing other genres of Heavy Metal. Or even other genres of music

Rappers invade and all they do is steal units from other factions and call it "sampling"

Oh, wow, that's genius!

Would there be an East Coast/West Coast civil war?

The power metal faction that travels in a fuckass huge spaceship castle on the wings of a rainbow dragon. Everything is a weird halfway between high fantasy and ludicrous sci fi cliches

They were unified under king George the small before turning their sights upon defiling the lands of metal.

I so hope you're a Double Fine dev in disguise fishing for new ideas. But sadly I know my dream could never be real.

Rest in peace, Eddie. Your legend will never die, and it will be told from father to son 'till the end of times.

Cleatus mentioned that there was a whole other tribe of Demons who formed a nation because they were "too ugly". I wanna see and learn more about these ugly demons, their goals, and what they want.

Also, aerial combat

Fletus, but yes -- I'd love the idea of a new demonic empire rising up once the Tainted Coil has been deposed.

I was gonna get exited and post something about a folk metal faction, but I just realized they would be a pretty ordinary low-fantasy army.

I want us to see more stuff involving the Titans. Specifically, I want to see the King/First Titan and I want him to look like Ronnie James Dio. And he needs to be doing something rad, like turning a rainbow into guitar strings

So... just like real-life Dio then.

Whelp, looks like I'm reinstalling Brütal Legend tonight.

I see a folk faction as full of minstrels and monsters, support based human units buffing the shit out of monsters like trolls and werewolves.

Essentially, yes. He IS the God of Metal after all.

Its just such a shame he's dead. It'll be impossible to find someone who can replace him and his great voice. Seriously, I can't think of a single person who wouldn't want to make sweet love to Dio's voice, and I'm straight as an arrow

I think he meant how much JB influenced the soundtrack and nudged some stars to do VA for the game.
Also, what's the best song and why is it >your favorite song goes here<

Also, also, RIP Lemmy, he'll not be around for the sequel (coming never)

Did they ever show any behind the scenes stuff from when doviculus was still supposed to be played by Dio?

Why'd you ever uninstall it?

New computer. So I guess first-time install on this machine.

I wish they had more time to polish everything. And not remove HALF THE FUCKING GAME AND STORY.

Andromeda

>Wow, he looks mad
>Maybe its because I shot him in the face ;^)

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Not to mention that the Speed Demon in the game, that Irish motherfucker you race, was supposed to be a race you could play/fight in the skirmish mode, and there was supposed to be a sequel where said Speed Demons were a major faction in the story.

So much of the game was cut.

What I meant is (and then I'll cut off the issue as we're not in /v/) which was Brütal Legend's publisher? Which was ME:A's? Which publisher only cares about profits up to the point of transforming a normal game into a pay-to-win?

Something I don't get is that the storyline cinematics seem to expect you to know more of the game's backstory than you do.

Like, after the three month timeskip the Sea of Black Tears becomes a plotpoint, and Eddie says something like, "But the Sea was sealed off years ago!"

But at that point in the game I didn't know anything about the Sea. I guess Eddie could have been told that stuff during the timeskip but I, the player, had not been.

IIRC (haven't played it since release) you get a lot of backstory from some sidequests. Depending on how many you've been doing, you sometimes end up being a bit ahead of the main quest in backstory.

Close. You find these legend stones out in the world that give you the mythology, including real cool bits like how the Tainted Coil wrap themselves in bondage gear to try and literally twist themselves into the shape of the titans, and the plot sort of assumes you're getting them as they become available. It's sort of like how in Psychonauts they just assume you went back and found Coach Oleanders secret memory vault to understand his whole deal.

Yeah the lore was freaking amazing desu

It was seriously beautiful. Everything was interconnected -- I loved Aetulia's place in the metal mythos.

>Expected a gang-based brawler, like The Warriors
>Get RTS out of nowhere
>My face

I was honestly pretty disappointed. Lore and world were great but god damn did that turn me off the game super quick.

Flame on!

More of the Kill Ma- oh...

>Starcraft: Ghost being killed
it still hurts

False marketing at its finest

Had to do a second playthrough to realize you could upgrade certain units.

And by certain units, it was mainly the gun chicks.

>Rob Halford LITERALLY Flaming
kek

There's a great moment earlier where Mangus doesn't want to travel into Fire Baron territory because "They sneak up and get you from behind!"

What are the best Deuce/Druid Plow weapons?

I have the expansions.
