Brutal Legend - Out NOW! Free DLC out NOW!!!

Do people actually play online, I'm planning to get it but I may wait a few more months (ebay prices seem to be nearing $30 already)
 
I tried to play online a few times and couldn't find anyone...only success was on the release day. Glad I picked it up with the TRU B2G1, definitely not worth $60. Good game just the lack of online players, and how short the game wait for it to drop.
 
I finished the story last week. I played my first online game today. I won, and got the six degrees of schafer trophy.

And, you can invite people from your friend's list to play with you.

Haha... thanks for an answer. I think I just unlocked multiplayer. Have been wasting a lot of time finding serpents and doing the side missions.

I just got the never touched an axe before trophy.
 
As a metal fan myself, I was really excited to see this game was based around metal. But sadly they screwed it up horribly with all these oldy shit "metal" bands. Atleast they have children of bodom on there. And I was also glad to see deadly sinners for thr closing song of the demo.
 
I thought the soundtrack was pretty much spot on and matched exactly what they were going for... but that's me. I like old metal. Not so much new stuff from bands this past decade. Save Mastodon who are on there (and a few others, of course). My player randomly hits a lot of Sabbath/Ozzy, Judas Priest, and Motorhead (who I just saw in concert)... so I dig it.

I don't think a lot of newer stuff would have matched what they are going for as much. But I think every "Faction" has their own musical style and songs were obviously put on there to match them. Again, it works for me.

Love a lot of the tracks, love the cheesy ones, love the ones I haven't heard but rock anyways (3 Inches of Blood are great)... and you HAVE to love... GIRLFRIEND... YOU REALLY MAKE MY HEART BEND... YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY BEEEEESSSSTTT FRIEND... ;)
 
Alright, I beat this middle of the week or so last week. I really enjoyed it. I did pretty much everything I could in single player (100%) and against AI opponents without too much headache (got the double team and AI trophies).

As I was playing in AI mode I was surprised at the differences in the factions as they were not just re-skins of each other's units (which is what I thought they would be). Anyways, if anyone wants to play online or do some boosting (especially with the unit specific trophies, be a pain against AI), let me know!
 
I didn't really like the game... The "no jumping" actually is a bit of pain. See, if you're on foot, you can't "climb" up rocks or "hop" over fences. It's a major pain in the ass to explore on foot (since you can't really run faster than you're already "running"). I still don't know how to do a successful evasion (you block and move with the left stick yes?). Since you can't dash/jump, Eddie is too "fat" to avoid some of the attacks.

Now, on to the car part, the nitro and controls are very nice, not too bad. However, the damn car disappears every time you do a side quest (except for the hunter). It's a pain in the ass to summon it every freaking time! Sorry man, the summoning is cool for the first few times, but it gets old after a while (can't you just press a damn button to summon it? At least an option to do so?).

Enemies... I have a hard time to tell who's who. Thankfully that you can't hurt your guys/gals, which is good. The only bad dude i know (and stands out) is the one with the giant fist.

The map doesn't list those little things you visit :( It's not a biggie, but it has enough space to display more "legends" (legends as in keys, not stories/myths).

It's not a bad game for $40, i don't think it's GOTY material...
 
Anyone else had the multiplayer match count glitch happen to you? I've played a few matches and am undefeated... but my match count now says I haven't even played. Pretty annoying. Hope they fix that soon.
 
Just started this game. And man, I'm enjoying this way more than I expected. Too bad they used all the shitty old metal.

To add to that, here's a nice Kotaku article and from EA themselves. For 5 bucks it seems like a decent download if the weapon upgrades end up being worthwhile. Plus, as Time Schafer points out: BEARD.
 
The thing I wonder is if these new upgrades will cost fire tributes because I think I've spent the majority of them already getting the normal things. The only way I can get them now is to randomly find people fighting in the world.
 
I ran out of stuff to spend mine on, if memory serves. I know I maxed everything and think I still have a sizable amount. Maybe. Could be wrong. :lol:
 
You've probably played more recently than I have, so maybe I'm wrong. But, the last few upgrades were like 300 or 400, if I remember correctly. Considering there are like 4 new paint jobs, 3 costumes, 4 car upgrades or so, if these cost more than like 50-100 fire tributes each, I can't see having enough.
 
I'm really hoping the new stuff balances out the multiplayer.

Currently Multiplayer boils down to:

Step 1: SPAM FIRE BARONS

Step 2: BRUTAL VICTORY

they will never fix this. EA says its something with your EA account (yeah. ok) and double fine just says they are looking into it. tim schafer in an interview said they worked on the multiplayer for 2 years before starting on the single player game. bullshit. online is completely broken and the community will be dead in 6 months.

i got my plat by getting a group of 10 guys together and just hoping we get matched up to someone in our boosting group and just trading surrenders.

All in one session? I'm hearing that is what you have to do. I do want to get those trophies... I also like playing period. So, maybe a few of us on here can boost those and then I can worry about just having fun with it. Don't much care for my record anyways, save to get my platinum.

I don't even think I have an EA account...

They released a patch recently that nerfs IronHeade a bit and changes the solo structure a bit. Most of the changes seem to be to nerf rushes in general.

yeah. all one session. about 7 of us got the 50 wins and it took about 4 hours or so to do. helps if you open up a text chat so everyone can communicate.

if the online was actually stable, it wouldnt even take half that. most of the time youre sitting there watching an axe spin or going back into MP cuz you got kicked.

as for you not having an EA account, all i gotta say is... exactly. hahaha. shows how stupid EA tech support is.
 
Anyone still playing this? Got it from the GameFly clearance sale, and the RTS sections are kicking my ass.. Any good tips or a FAQ or something? (RTS is my least favorite game genre).
Is it possible to just skip the RTS sections in single player?

Then the game would be like an hour long. The second half of the game is basically nothing but RTS.
 
Yeah I just got to the 2nd RTS battle (I think) where a big thundercloud goes around spawning enemies (like the death bride troops and grave diggers), and I can't figure out where the other base is. I think its defend only map, so I don't know where to attack.. So I got to the cutscene where the new allies appear to help ya out but then I always get overwhelmed and lose the stage battle. :(
 
Got this for $9 from GameFly months ago, sat down and played it last week. Good game with some huge drawbacks.
