I forced myself through the first one, because I have an OCD when it comes to completing stuff... This series is really weak though,  some funny dialogues but that's it, the RPG / action elements sucks and I hope he returns to writing point and click (Monkey Island rocks!)

Yeah, this is not a funny trailer and I don't have high hopes for Thongs of Virtue. Also, for anyone who is interested this trailer used the word thong 14 times.

Looks fun! I enjoyed the first one but I didn't expect anything from it.
Best advise to any gamer is to never expect anything good,
that way most games are tolerable... mostly.

This seems like quite the good idea, the turn around rate for pushing out a sequel. I enjoyed the first Deathspank and still need to finish it, but this seems like an even better deal for $15.

After slogging through the tedious first one, and not laughing once, you couldn't pay me $15 to go anywhere near this.

It's really, really, really not, that's the problem.
 
Another ten hours of fart jokes and button mashing, break out your credit cards.

I'm down for some more DeathSpank, but I'll probably wait for it to go on sale this time.

The First Deathspank was OK, good for killing a few hours and getting an S-Rank here. 
 
 I'll admit I do have my problems with it, my only major problem being that almost every mission was a bloody fetch quest. I can only remember a few missions that wern't " Go here, collect this, bring it back to me" and they were all "Go here, kill/destroy this, come back when you're finished".  
 
Thing is in the end its simple, its short and if you don't take it so seriously its enjoyable.

...thongs? really? is that word supposed to be funny? ugh, and so ends the legacy of deathspank, a mediocre comedy game that thought it was a lot funnier than it really is.

This is absolutely terrible. You know how if you say a word too many times it loses all meaning and doesn't sound like a real word anymore? Yeah.

That makes no sense.
 
if you hated the trailer, you wouldn't be looking forward to the game.
 
Atleast you fit cock-sucking in your post, that's fitting.

It's a real shame that Deathspank wasn't even remotely funny, it had potential. 
I guess I'll stick to Torchlight for my loot-grind Action-RPG gaming.

Art direction is beautiful, 
Its  a shame the story is rather lackluster  
 
It was like watching a childs cartoon, Perhaps if that is their target audience fair shout but this does nothing for me.

I found it funny! DeathSpank didn't show off any "new" huomour, and Eat Led: The Return of Matt Hazzard did the whole introspective look on games better than DeathSpank did - but I still found DeathSpank funny. And I am really looking forward to this title.

I think it is just the sense that they are forcing it too much - humour can be subtle as well as a sledgehammer. They did sell this off the Ron Gilbert name so it is a valid criticism.  
  
If the only way to play is with the sound off, you are left with just a run of the mill game.

Never played the first one, and I was quite interested in it though, but something about the gameplay in this trailer is really off-putting.

Yes I want more, the first one was just barely enough to satisfy my Deathspank needs.

Anyone have a feeling this is going to go like Penny Arcade Adventures? First one selling a lot then 2nd selling half or 1/4 that of the original <_< ? I might be quick to judge considering Penny Arcade mostly sold less due to the huge gap of time in between episodes.

@Wandrecanada: Ron Gilbert did work on the game till its completion however. Also i personally loved the games humor. I felt the name Deathspank was funny in the same way Guybrush Threepwood since both were names you wouldn't expect for the character.

This is so dumb, why would you waste time making a second one at the same time as the first so you could put it out 3 months later instead of using all that time, energy, and resources to make a better game. It really makes no sense at all.
