because competition in a market is a fact of life and Activition is having trouble grasping this. This makes them stupid. I'm not gonna buy the game but you'd think activition, a huge gaming company would be a little more mature about this. The game may be bad but to think they would would win a lawsuit like this is just absurd.Fumbles said:
Brütal Legend Dev Counter-Sues Activision
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
So the game will suck because the voice actor for the main character is Jack Black....What about a story, the gameplay, the setting and the rest of the awesome stuff?Fumbles said:
Well EA decided to start acting nice and so Activision stepped in as: "Evil 3rd party developer"HardRockSamurai said:
Anyways I don't care how cliche this sounds but GO DOUBLE FINE, STICK IT TO THE MAN!
Also, am I the only one who see's this as a battle of Good vs Evil? Double Fine with their reformed-to-neutral-instead-of-evil EA backers VS the pure evil of Activison?
With the survival of the Good hanging in the balance itself! Seriously, its like a saga or something.

I thought the same, until I saw and heard the writing for this game.Fumbles said:
Heavy Metal rock-stars still have to obey the laws of society. So it is amusing to see them portray their vision of evil and what is "cool". Bands like Gwar recognize this and instead satirize the entire genre (See also Metalocalypse).
So when you have a guy like Jack Black who plays a roadie of all things, as the brutal savior of humanity, it only makes it funnier.
Also, he is only voice acting, and he didn't write any of it so I wouldn't worry too much.
It's not well known but Activison recently acquired the rights to Hell, Satan and all related properties. So it is now officially Satan. Let's look at it this way. Brutal Legend has metal, Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford. Guitar Hero 5 has songs by bands nobody has heard of/cares about.
Brutal Legend wins. Forever.

To be honest, I never gave a rats ass about Jack Black being in the game. The game is going toFumbles said:

Not really. I would have preferred Dio but it's still better than anything Guitar Hero 5 has so far.Fumbles said:
Dude, Jack Black is not making Brutal Legend. Anyone who goes out and buys a video game just because their favorite celebrity is stamped on the cover is an idiot. That, we can agree on.Fumbles said:
However, don't go bashing a game just because you hate Jack Black. That's like bashing a Final Fantasy game because you hate Japan. Whether you like it or not, he's part of the game, but he's not going to be deciding factor of the game's quality.
Tim Schafer. Double Fine. Heavy Metal.
That's why people are going to buy Brutal Legend.
