*Imma let you finish, Eva, but if you haven't played Psychonauts, or worse yet, didn't like it, please hand in your gaming credentials at the fucking door. And enjoy your goddamn apocalypse. :thumb:
I have played Psychonauts, but what's the big deal if I hadn't? I know you're not being serious but regardless, but I don't give two shits about having street cred and the elitist opinions of others.
Anyway I find this thread is fucking pointless until the game is actually announced. So Double Fine exceeded their target by a shitload more money, that's awesome, but there's nothing of real significance to discuss.
Wow, you've donated X amount of dollars?! cool story broAlso Schafer is a colossal douche bag indeed. Doesn't mean that I'm not keen to play Stacking when it arrives on PC though. That game looks awesome.

However, it's equally daft to extrapolate form a single gaffe that Schafer is a 'massive fucking douchebag' but, hey, it's dethtoll.
oh like i'm the only one who does this ever
But if you must know, it's his general attitude in several interviews he's done, not just that one quote, that puts me off.

It may not have been useful to you but this was the first place I heard about the game. So, thanks for the thread, Lancer, and I'm looking forward to how this develops even if I've been put off by comments Schafer has made in the past.

But I'm never going to buy Brutal Legend, and his bullshit isn't even the primary reason.
You're not missing anything. It's a really bad game. Shame, because the premise was good, as is most of the music, but the rest is pretty damn awful. Part open world, part RTS, all a fucking shambles.

No it wasn't. It's a shrine to everything wrong with metal. Unless you want to hear me rage about how metal has stagnated and most of its fans are retards (I say this as someone who was in the scene for many years) I'm going to leave it at that.

as is most of the music
of the music is good. A lot of it is shit. And some of it was just poorly chosen. What bothers me is how myopic the coverage was; there's an incredible amount of bands doing new, amazing things and they tend to get pushed aside for not being "br0000tul" enough like the army of derivative death metal bands which all sound the same. Where's the bands like Cult of Luna or Isis or Neurosis or Rosetta? Russian Circles getting featured in Dead Space 2 was a real treat; I want to see these guys getting more mainstream coverage, because they deserve it. We need some real talent in a culture increasingly being shaped by pretentious art majors.

Personally, I'm hoping for a proper oldschool 2D adventure game with hand painted backgrounds, a'la Monkey Island 2. 3D is all well and good, but the Monkey Island remakes have whetted my appetite for high res 2D, and I want more.
.
you tried castle crashers? not hand painted though but its a good modern 2d game with good enough gameplay and awesome music. made by some people/the founders of newgrounds or something. also its not point n click adventure either but its a cool 2d game anyways.
But anyway thats what LGS should do! they should all get back together and demand fans wallets! screw 2d adventure point n click if we could have first person roleplaying immersive simulator....but we cant :(
