Tim Schafer Sheds the Tears of the Hextadon

I'd rather hear about what he has to say about this game failing to live up to his amazing games from the past. Still, can't not love the Schafer!

No thank you, I would rather have more story stuff.

Shame, if it were single-player DLC I might consider picking the game up. 
 
6-8 hours just doesn't cut it for me.

Looked pretty close :)
 
I can see why Herzog Zwei was an inspiration.
 
What was that music at the end from?

Oh....multi...player...stuff....hey....great...
 
*sigh*

Yeah, I spent like 3 hours playing multiplayer and that was more than enough.  If it added more story or fixed some of the other stuff, I might consider dropping the cash, but, right now, I'm keeping the money for DLC for Borderlands.

Probably won't pick up the multiplayer maps, but I did play it for a solid week, and I love it.

So they're gonna charge 5 bucks for more content of the most criticized aspect of Brutal Legend? Good luck with that, Tim.

Brutal Legend is great fun, with great variety, and great personality.
 
It hurts to hear people hate on this game and then go and play one of the plethora of games where you heartlessly place a cross-hair over a person and pull the right trigger.  It was cool when Doom came out but....  it's gotten old...  The multiplayer has many facets and depth to it...  You'll be required to think, and not just rely on a twitch reflex in your finger.

I own the game, but haven't played the multiplayer yet. This video makes it look pretty intense, though it appears to have a rather steep learning curve. With all the great multiplayer games coming out, whose gonna have the time?

Is the RTS multi-player that bad? That video makes it look like something I could really get into.

looks like it is pretty fun if you know how to play it

MY EYES!! MY EEEEEEEEEEEYEEEEEES!!!

And look at 4:09. LOL Tim Schafer clone!

that looked cool

So this really only announced multiplayer map pack? They did kind of leave the end of the game open for a bit of expansion, or so it seems, but it doesn't sound like they are aiming on following up on that.
to be honest, I wasn't impressed with the in game RTS to want to play it in multiplayer.  
 
The lack of a persistent HUD during the RTS really messed with me. I feel there should have been some kind of small status bar that informed me with numbers. I just felt like I wasn't receiving the information I should have been receiving while in RTS. I had to manually check up on my troops by calling up the build menu, or fly back to them. And when I checked on them they were half dead.

Wow he has a high pitched voice hahaha

Tim Schafer can really pull off that tux! 

I don't know what you guys have. This looks pretty sweet to me.

man this video really killed my enthusiasm to give  the game a try. 

"Agreed. For that matter, I'm fine with having spent $60 on a game where 50% of it really annoyed me and let me down. 

And I can tell you, there aren't many other people I can think of that I would be fine paying $60 to for a game that I kind of felt awfully "meh" about in some regards... "

NOTE: Did anybody notice how much Tim Schaffer was explaining the game mechanics. If he'd of created a better game without the RTS element, he wouldn't of had to do that. "

i would rather get more single-player DLC considering the story is the stronger point of the game.

I'm interested in some unique rts gameplay, but my money is still spent by dragon age.

So are they playing online? I think it would've been better if they recorded it splitscreen on one TV then just have the audio edited over. Seems like a good party game, but then again almost any game is fun when playing with friends.

Maybe if Schafer narrated every single match this game would be more fun but this still just looks like a crappy console RTS.

I still think this game looks solid, it's just not what people were expecting.

Mechanically I could see myself getting into the multiplayer it will just all depend on how the controls work. (from the demo, they seemed pretty good but the game does seem incredibly complex)

Tim Burton + Quentin Tarantino = Tim Schafer

I spy a Genesis, SNES and N64 under the center TV...
 
Oh, and if anything, the RTS gameplay of Brutal Legend is a major turn-off for me. Never was good at them...

This game would be a lot better if it came with Tim Schafer in tux narrating the game.
