[Multiplatform] Brütal Legend: YOU CAN'T KILL THE METAL. METAL WILL LIVE ON.

Oh god yes. <3

I was starting to think we'd never see another game from Double Fine after Psychonauts' low sales. This could end up having the most generic hack 'n slash gameplay imaginable and the writing will still make it gold.

Hopefully this time they won't trust G4 to do all their advertising for them.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The trailer doesn't have any voice acting aside from the demon narrator at the beginning, but I think Jack Black is the protagonist.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, they all appear to be broken now for some reason. Brütal.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wait, what.

I'd heard that Activision dropped it because it had no potential for a string of sequels, but that's a whole new level of retarded if true. Not everything dealing with rock can be shoveled into Guitar Hero.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah, what Nutty said. I figured it was pretty self-explanatory. Besides, does one really need to announce that Gamestop is taking pre-orders for something? I could walk into mine right now and put down $5 on Madden 2015.

Now if this was some small release that you'd be lucky to find anywhere else, like an SMT game, then this would be excusable.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Let's not go down this road and turn this thread into yet another one about why Gamestop sucks. I'm sure we all have horror stories, and if not then you're one lucky bastard.

For the sake of answering Rock's post, so many stores have sales on new games within the first week or two of their release that it's almost a waste of money to pre-order a game barring some sort of pre-order bonus. Without something cool like that 20th anniversary soundtrack that came with Castlevania: PoR I only go as a last resort these days since I got fed up with being lectured like a child for either not pre-ordering the game or not wanting to put down money on something else while picking up my pre-order.

How ya doing, buddy?

For those of you who own Rock Band 1 or 2, this is infinitely better than the GameStop "exclusive" Tenacious D axe, since you can actually use this outside of this game. Plus, seriously, FUCK GameStop.

Also, FUCKING TESTAMENT, GODDAMNIT!

Brutal Legend is also one of several games this week that Best Buy is giving a $10 gift card with if you're part of their Reward Zone program, so I picked it up there for the song pack and getting $10 back in a month or so. My Toys R Us didn't have it in yet this morning, so I couldn't get it as part of their buy 2 get 1 free sale anyway.

FELIPE NO
