I swear to fucking god, someone better pick up Brutal Legend.

[SL4IN]

How about, someone pick up Chronicles of Riddick remake, since it's so darn close to being done!

[Chacrana]

I swear to fucking god, someone better pick up Brutal Legend.

They both looked shitty as hell, but given the choice, I'd save 50 cent's game long before I'd save Jack Black's.

I second SL4IN's thoughts, though.

It's not "Jack Black's Game," it's Doublefine's game, which makes it Tim Shafer's game, which already makes it better than a ton of stuff out there.

It's sad that you've decided to cultivate one of those never-happy-always-unsatisfied emo gamer motifs 'round here, since you've now gone over to condemning a game from a development team whose last effort was more original than the grand majority of releases.

Besides, 50 Cent actually thinks his ideas are good, and wanted to make a game where you shoot terrorists in the Middle East, because that's the only thing that makes sense inside his pea-sized brain.

But hey, don't stop the music on your little hatefest.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Oh Chac, what are we gonna do with you?

[Chacrana]

What can I say? I haven't liked anything Tim Schafer's done since Grim Fandango. And my hatred for Jack Black is legendary.

[Strell]

And my hatred for Jack Black is legendary.

But is it brütal?

Didn't EA already pick it up? Or was that just a rumor?

[Chacrana]

I dunno if it's brutal with one of those German u's, but yeah, I'd imagine it's just about.

Bad THQ, you need to pick up World in Conflict Soviet Assault not 50 Cent.

[Filler2001]

THQ sucks ass..........most of the time.

Maybe on the console side of things, but they publish some pretty great PC games.

[Filler2001]

Fair enough, I guess.

[Chacrana]

Seriously. I can't think of a single thing they've put out on consoles that's been good, but they're like... the sole publisher of great RTSes on the PC. I hate RTSes, but I can make exceptions for stuff like Dawn of War and World in Conflict.

[darthbudge]

I honestly think that this has worst concept of any game I have ever seen, ever. This one should have stayed dead.

[Filler2001]

I guess it is true that the story is a pile of crap, the gameplay at least looks promising to a point. Granted, there's no way in hell I would buy this game, but I'm at least interested on how it would fare in reviews.

[FloodsAreUponUS]

This game will sell 3 million copies.

And yet Ghostbusters is still without a publisher.

And yet Ghostbusters is still without a publisher.

Who would have thought -- a game with top notch writers behind it sits in limbo, but an asshole with a speech impediment is guaranteed a sequel to his first miserable game.
