Just finished it. Totally loved it, I really got more into the strategy stuff by the end of it. If you like Tim Schafer, I really strongly suggest you buy it. Johnny just got to the conversation I mentioned in one of my earlier posts and he can vouch for its awesomeness.

I want to make a note that out of all the awesome music to get stuck in my head, why did it have to be the Kabbage Boys song at the beginning? I hate my ears so bad for that right now.

god damned Nu-Metal crap...

Goddamn it, I can't find the last Motor Forge to raise for the life of me. Still need about 500 more fire tributes for the last two upgrades, too. Got all the solos and freed 80 serpents, though.

Anyone get annoyed by the matchmaking system for multiplayer yet? It says you can play with up to 8 people, but even when I turn settings to Anyone can Join, it still pits me in this one on one bullcrap.

So after searching every place I can think of, my totals are: all Legend Statues, all solos, all Motor Forges, all upgrades, 118/120 Bound Serpents, 23/24 Buried Metal, 23/24 Lightning Plug jumps, and 31/32 landmark viewers. Which means I am going to have to scour the map all over again for those last 5 collectibles if I want 100%.

I need a drink.

The last two statements kinda summarize my experiences so far.  Dropkicking those porcupine things is also amusing, and I've hit some RAD jumps.

Yeah, there are so many cool jumps in the game. I got a good ten seconds of flight down to the beach at one point, just going "WOOOOOO!"

The RTS stuff is actually a lot more satisfying than the straight-up combat.

Some of them are real pains in the ass.  I haven't even found 30 yet, but there are a couple I've gotten that are really tucked away in corners that you can't see unless you travel off the beaten path.

Just finished getting 100%. Jesus, that takes a while. Also, I highly suggest everyone do all the hunting missions, because the dialogue when you turn in the last one is pretty hilarious.

I'm finally finished, so I'm back to adoring him again. I definitely had that moment for a few hours though.

This game is funny but I don't particularly enjoy actually playing it.


I guess I think it's more like Rental of the Year as opposed to Game of the Year, which would probably sit better with me if I hadn't of purchased it.

Yeah. Awesome game but not much replay value. I beat it in about 5 days of on and off playing.
Rental of the year? Hell yeah! GotY? not so much...

So are they setting up for there to be a sequel to this dang thing? That would be nice because I'd kinda like to see a continuation of the story- especially with more unfolding of Eddie's history- and I'd really really like to see them fine-tune the gameplay.

I think they leave it open intentionally. Tim Schafer did say they had written enough to fill 3 games of Brutal Legend's size, so it sounds like he's not hurting for ideas to make a sequel if he gets the opportunity. I guess we should see how it does when NPD numbers come out in a week or so.
