Quick Look: Rock of Ages

@crusader8463 said:

I really want this game, but I just got this gut feeling the PC version is going to control like complete shit. Anyway, here's hoping for a TNT of this game.

Zeno Clash was a PC exclusive for 6 months, so I doubt it.

Ryan falls off the world and is defeated quite a bit in this quick look. I guess it's time to start a forum thread about how he shouldn't be allowed to play on video anymore, or do assholes just do that for Brad?

nice try BRAD

I laughed.

Man I love ACE. Zeno clash was great, bought it on XBLA and Steam. More developers that are known for making weird stuff!

So bought

I hope so. Just jaded on that kind of stuff on smaller games like this as the last dozen or so I bought were unplayable mess with a KBM. Really don't feel like throwing away another $10.

This looks sursprisingly awesome.

PCs use 360 controlers.... this "controls on pc will ruin the game" argument is about 6 years overused

You guys sure Terry Guilliam didn't have a hand in making this?

This game looks fucking awesome.

Just bought this after watching the Quick Look.

Ive got balls of fire. 

It has more tower defense than I imagined, but it looks okay.

This is amazing! I'm on my way to Steam right now :)

Rock of Ages? Glad to see it's still rolling. 
 
... I'll show myself out.

Looks like the MK Kollection isn't the only XBLA game I'll be getting this week!

Am I really watching a video of a rock rolling down a hill

not if you close it, but nobody has ever been able to do that to a quick look

Cool, it is a sick, sicck concept for a game and it kind of reminds me of some of the costum maps for Warcraft 3, where you had to balance your budget between sending all units and building a defense against your friends units.

I think this is a great Scrub League opportunity. I know it's usually games everyone knows how to play, but this looks worth learning.

This also reminds me quite a bit of the old arcade classic Rampart, which makes me want it even more.

"So it's like Super Monkey Ball..."

Alright, cool.

"...meets tower defence..."

Yeah, sweet.

"...meets Age of Empires..."

FUCK YES.

"...meets Monty Python..."

*has excitement aneurism*

I play games on PC because I despise playing games with a controller and prefer a MKB. This "Herpa derp! Just plug in a controller you idiot! It's fine for me so why can't it be fine for you?" argument is about 6 years overused.

FACT: Some games control better with a gamepad. If you can't deal with it then don't play those games, rather then blaming a bad port instead of your inflexibility.

Elephants are upgraded cows. 
 
FACT.

I expected this game to be shit, but it actually looks fun. Will download the trial as soon as I can.

Fact.

Kids love rocks.

I find the lack of Def Leppard's "Rock of Ages" disheartening.

Went into to this quicklook skeptical came out wanting to Roll a boulder down a hill.

Ryan falls off the world and is defeated quite a bit in this quick look. I guess it's time to start a forum thread about how he shouldn't be allowed to play on video anymore, or do assholes just do that for Brad?

Having the enemy scream like a little girl over Mozart's "Dies Irae" when the boulder crashes through their gate is an amazing touch.

I love this game's style and after watching thing hilarious quick look I'd love to pick it up, now.

this looks really fucking cool.

Just played the Demo and I'm on the fence about this. The rolling down part is fun but I feel totally lost on how to place defense stuff on the track effectively.

Lol poor matt bodega. Patrick made fun of him even when Matt has more time at whiskey media than him. =P

This game is so weird.

I love it.

Game looks great.  Never thought this game would be like this. Kinda reminds me of Odama for GC. Oh and Super Monkey ball.. and Tower Defense? Shit, there is a lot to this game!
 
The comments on here.. not so much. People are trying to turn this into a flamewar about controller preferences?!
Honestly folks, calm down and enjoy the game on whatever platform you want.
Just one thing: If you "despise" playing games with a controller.. it just makes you sound really stupid. A real gamer knows that any input method is a valid option if done right (yeah even motion controls.. sometimes)

this looks really cool.

Interns don't count.

They don't read or write either.

Why am I watching Patrik and Ryan touching each others balls and saying "Deeply wrong"? It feels like they deserve some privacy.

FACT: If they take the time to do the controls properly any game can be played well with any input device. Just because you like to make excuses for lazy game design doesn't make it acceptable.

Yes, EXACTLY. All those fighting game developers are just LAZY for not designing their games around mouse and keyboard controls. Just build them into the fucking arcade cabinet. SO OBVIOUS.

feel like playing marble madness

I pre-ordered this game 4 weeks ago :) 
 
This confirms I made a good decision :D

The art style is perfect.

this shit is bananas

Wasn't interested in this game at all, looked like it was all just about smashing things and thought I'd get bored in 5 minutes.
 
Quick look sold me on it though, it looks a lot more strategic than I ever knew it was, and for $8.99 on Steam I'm going to pick it up.

This game is great.

Hell yes. 
 
Hell fucking yes.

Despite some effort, I couldn't get into Zeno Clash, but this game looks amazing.
