Brick Walls make me think of Seinfeld, not Springer. "What's the deal with RTS'?!"

"What's this, Command & Conquer 3? You conquered it twice already, and you have to try again, what's the deal with that?"

Finished Brutal Legend this weekend, enjoyed it. The story was very good, the characters engaging and likable, yes the RTS part felt a bit shoehorned, but once you got the hang of it, it was not too bad.
But I have no inkling for the MP modes, but maybe it's just me.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Nov 2nd 2009 9:33PM
I enjoyed the AI practice battles, but im still too terrified to go online, i cant even survive real RTS' let alone this crazified version
Dreaded Fear @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:12PM
I agree. Singe player is great, but I had no desire to play this online.
freaparn @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:38PM
Yeah, it's a damn shame, but Brutal Legend was disappointing for me because I love Schafer's sense of humor and the worlds he creates, but... blargh, those "not an RTS" battles just felt completely half-assed. I'm not even an RTS enthusiast by the kindest measure, but I'd have killed for a top-down control scheme on some of those fights.
That said, the world was fantastic, the story started out great (kind of stumbled near the end, the whole thing with Eddie's t-shirt was sort of out of the left field), the characters were fucking amazing, and the idea of roping in all those rock personalities for one game celebrating the glory of metal... well damn, what more do you want?
...other than half-decent RTS control schemes, I mean.

Multiplayer co-op on the other hand. That might have been "face melting" (amazing).
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Nov 2nd 2009 9:06PM
I wonder which game is sitting in the N64 underneath the TV on the right..
BlueXArmed @ Nov 2nd 2009 9:13PM
I'm not that into pokemon...
VaultICEE @ Nov 2nd 2009 9:13PM
I'm getting Brutal Legend mainly for the multiplayer mode.
There. I said it.
Jason @ Nov 3rd 2009 1:18AM
On that note, keep drinking Vault.
ill trooper @ Nov 2nd 2009 9:15PM
I really like those Google™ AdSpace ads you have running every few minutes during the video, and keep thankfully keep coming back, even after I mistakenly hit the corner 'x' in my spastic excited effort to READ MORE advertising... so rad! Keep it up! Moar ads in the videos! On the top! On the side! Lookout! So cool!
aristokrat @ Nov 2nd 2009 9:47PM
Yeah, these ads don't make me buy more products, but rather watch fewer videos, especially when you consider that most of the videos are basically ads themselves.
I can't wait until the Internet 3.0 when we get to watch ads before we watch ads before we ads.
TheElderFrog @ Nov 2nd 2009 9:40PM
I enjoyed Brutal Legend immensely.
The story was very short and i thought the story would have kept going after...
(SPOILER)
...you started to fight the tainted coil head on.

Come on guys, he's just trying to make a living. Ewww handbags for 35 that's a steal... sign me up!!!
mars @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:06PM
will somebody please ban this guy
Traceur_Ryuk [Founder of The Anti-EMCB(tm) Brigade] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:42PM
He always just makes a new account.
Pan1c42 @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:44PM
Anyone else feel that video should have been 30 seconds longer?
ill trooper @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:58PM
YEAH! Now THAT is what I'm talking about! Advertising in the middle of my Joystiq experience! Intrusive? Nah, INFORMATIVE! Point me to the Ed Hardy!
carg0 @ Nov 2nd 2009 11:27PM
unfortunately, no one bought this game and those who did quickly moved on.
DomoBraden @ Nov 3rd 2009 4:00AM
That's a pretty sweet tie bro.
Ad134 @ Nov 2nd 2009 11:29PM
I've come to the conclusion that Tim Schafer obviously doesn't know what RTS means. It's the only reasonable explanation anyway...
ScottG13 @ Nov 3rd 2009 12:07AM
We love Tim and the video is charming but its also the reason why I never want to try BL online. Man that looks hard.
Jason @ Nov 3rd 2009 12:45AM
I'll bet that Asian dude could kick some ass in DOA, Tekken or Street Fighter (Ken).
Michael K. @ Nov 3rd 2009 12:53AM
I was thinking about getting brutal legend when the price comes down but after actually seeing the multiplayer i'll pass
Shagittarius @ Nov 3rd 2009 2:27AM
I just finished the single player campaign tonight and I really enjoyed the game. I wish it had been another 2 - 3 hours longer for the campaign but its good to leave you wanting more. Unfortunately I really don't feel like playing it online, but if Tim says its worth while I really should force myself to give it a go.
After all I was just starting to get the not and RTS controls down right when the game ended perhaps a little dueling action would be more fun than I am imagining.
DECAPITATION!
DomoBraden @ Nov 3rd 2009 3:59AM
At least he took the initiative to add a sexy lady made of money to the, erm... well, the ad. I sometimes find myself flustered just imagining about naked women made of sweet, sweet cash -- and to think, I didn't need to look any further than right here on Joystiq to make my sick delusions come to life! Thank you soulless spambot, thank you so much!
Mika101 @ Nov 3rd 2009 11:02AM
The guy who was using Ironheade should have used the fire baron spam. He would have won the match in about 4 min. It would also show them how cheap it is and that is why 90% or more people online play as ironheade so they should FIX it and also the connect issues.
J @ Nov 3rd 2009 1:59PM
I got this and 2 copies of Borderlands (1 for a friend) with Best Buy's buy 2 get 1 free deal. Borderlands has definitely kept me from playing this game...
I really enjoyed the demo for this and do look forward to playing it... eventually.
Fezzick @ Nov 3rd 2009 2:22PM
I thought this video might be interesting to watch to see how multiplayer works and maybe a few tips on how to win, but about 50% of the video is of the faces of the two guys playing, so you can't really see anything useful. Not worth your time.
