Brutal Legend

Alex C:
I wouldn't purchase the Spore expansions, but I'd rather have the option on the table than off of it. I guess I just don't quite equate the situation with extortion like many people do. At any rate, I prefer that kind of thing over Activision's policy, which seems intent on preventing the development of anything I would actually be interested in.

That's mostly personal opinion.  I know many people who thought it was great.

Look, one Spore expansion is not as bad as 10 Guitar Hero expansions (considering GH is mostly just new songs and Spore is new pieces for everything, which are much more difficult for users to create and test due to the almost endless combinations in which it can be used.  I should also add that they've released free additional pieces in updates) over half as many years.  The Sims I can understand being used as a cash cow.  Most companies need one.  My beef with Activision is that they're trying to make as many properties as they can cash cows, and in the process they are throwing creativity to the wind.  

Basically what I'm trying to say is that EA is not as bad as Activision (ironically, Activision was a company formed by Atari employees pissed at not getting paid enough).  If they are, I'm not seeing how.  Enlighten me, via PM so it doesn't shit up this thread.

look out! Ninjas!:

I'm entirely sure he used the words "exploited" and "multiple instalments" in the same sentence.
To which I say "THE FUCK, MAN?"

And anyway, the main criticism with the Madden games isn't that they're broken and need to be fixed, but that the games are the same, year in, year out, with only marginal, and predictable, improvements to distinguish each copy.

KvP:
Madden might be more or less the same, but I've heard tons of good word of mouth regarding the improvements made to the latest in EA's hockey and futball franchises. And Fight Night's always been pretty excellent.

Back on topic, there's a trailer out for Brutal Legend:

I can see Jack Black's "woo hoo!!" exclamations getting old really quickly, but if Tim's writing holds up this could be epic.  His delivery on the nun bit seems to work pretty well, I just hope he keeps his "rock yell" to a minimum.
