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

[HEADING=2]ROCK[/HEADING]

Because it's

[HEADING=2]TIM SCHAFER[/HEADING]

The guy who made

[HEADING=2]PSYCHONAUTS[/HEADING]

Which is one of the

[HEADING=2]BEST GAMES EVER MADE[/HEADING]
That's why everyone bought it?
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.

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.
Eh... I know his not making it, but they are making that a selling point. By the way, it is sad that a fictional Metalband (Dethklok) is better then most American metal now. Also, your Avatar is more metal then the game will ever be.
Hang on, I don't get it.

You don't like Brutal Legend because Jack Black is helping launch the game, and because you don't think the game is metal enough? That's nonsense!

I think you may have set your expectations just a weeeeee bit too high there mate. What next, are you going to hate Brutal Legend because it doesn't come in a solid gold case?

Dude, just accept it; there's nothing wrong with Brutal Legend, especially in this day and age.

I'm done with this rabble by the way. If I can't convince you, all i got to say is that you're going to miss out on one of the greatest games to be released this year...just because you don't like Jack Black...

Is this what the industry has come to? One of the few people left in game developing left to think outside the box, Mr. Schafer, is constantly being pissed about by one of the biggest publishers in the world. It's like Activision are afraid to do something fun. If it isn't something that people will immediately relate to upon hearing the very concept they don't want to know about it and decide to try and take it down. It's a sad case if people who are actually creative can't get their games published because they don't have a series of 5 buttons to press in a rhythm.

The plot thickens...

All I really want is for this game to get released, beyond that I'm not to bothered. Activison, recently, has been acting in a very aggressive manner. I think it might be trying to take the industry rains for EA, who have suffered some horrendous losses since the start of the recision.

Appealing to the majority does not a good arguement make. Are you also a huge N'Sync fan? I hear they did pretty well in their day.

I think Satan's been working with them from the start, for obvious reasons.

More on topic, I don't buy anything from Activision for two reasons: a) they're evil, and b) they don't make anything I like anyways. I'm not particularly interested in Brutal Legend, but that doesn't mean I don't hope Activision's lawsuit goes down in flames, and Double Fine sues them for everything they have.

Touche. But saying you are a nonconformist makes you the ultimate conformist. So what, Tim should've gone multiplatform with it, but he chose to stay on the Xbox... He deserved it not making money. It was a good game but according to your logic Beyond Good and Evil was better.

I object to your comparison of a musical genre to an image. Seriously "metal" as a life-style or some sort of idealistic view is nothing more than an invention of your mind and frankly I've never seen the point (I like classical music but I don't go around proclaiming everything to be "So damn orchestral!" and dressing up like mozart). The metal theme to this game just amuses me for those reasons.

Actually, no, what we're saying is that we like good games. It has nothing to do with conformity.

Nope, according to my logic the popularity (or lack thereof) of something has very little to do with the quality of something.

And I'm guessing you're a PS3 owner...

Little tip: Bitching that a developer deserves bankruptcy because a game they're making isn't multiplatform makes you come off as abit of a fanboy. Not saying you are one (I'm going with 'troll'), I'm just saying that's how it came off.

Activision merges with Vivendi, Activision becomes a bunch of cunts, and I am not surprised in the slightest.

Fuck Vivendi.

Double Fine just has to hold out for 2 1/4 more months, release the game, then I won't be bothered to care about lawsuits.

Guys, this game is multiplatform. 360 and Playstation 3.
