RE: BRUTAL LEGEND - Raytheon - 10-17-2009
No, its barely an RTS.
It has strategy in it, but there is no way you are going to win battles with your army, you have to do the hack n slash part yourself.
RE: BRUTAL LEGEND - Goemar - 10-19-2009
Yes you can go down yourself but it still has RTS gameplay, specially later on in the game - there's no other way of saying it. It tries a lot of things, and yes it is rather good, but it doesn't excel at anything gameplay-wise. If it wasn't for the characters and atmosphere this game would be pretty bad, Tim Schafer is great with characters - something which hasn't changed since the LucasArts days.
I have been known to be a pretty harsh dude, but an opinion is an opinion - you can't just accuse people of not playing it when one happens to disagree with yours.

when i went to dethklok and mastodon in KC, they had a video for dethklok before their show of a video with the main character as their roadie, it was bad ass beyond belief.

you didn't play it though, did you.
you don't have to play it as an rts.
RE: BRUTAL LEGEND - Goemar - 10-20-2009
So because I don't have to play as an RTS means that even though the RTS gameplay (which according to you may not exist) is in there and isn't great it can be completely ignored of judgement because I can simply not engage with it?
You don't have to drive a car in GTA for a lot of the missions, but like many I did and I didn't like the driving as much as I did in Saints Row 2. But I guess as I could simply walk for a lot of the missions I have no right to complain. Your logic is BRILLIANT!
RE: BRUTAL LEGEND - Raytheon - 10-21-2009
it's not meant to be played as an rts, you are meant to drive the car in gta
RE: BRUTAL LEGEND - GrooveMan.exe - 10-21-2009
Apart from how everyone who has explained the gameplay to me so far has called it an RTS?
Please, you're grasping at straws. If you disagree, whatever, but just move on already.

quote from tim schafer
"If you try to play the stage battles in Brütal Legend as an RTS game then you will lose."
RE: BRUTAL LEGEND - Goemar - 10-22-2009
But it still has RTS in it, I'm not saying its a friggin RTS. I'm saying the RTS gameplay isn't very good. And the normal combat isn't anything special either. Jesus, I'm not saying it's a terrible game - I'm saying it's a good game, but not excellent.
But seriously move on, you obviously bum this game so anyone who doesn't want to ejaculate on it while listening to Jack Black's soothing voice must be wrong.
RE: BRUTAL LEGEND - Raytheon - 10-22-2009
the rts elements arent that good. because its not meant to be an rts obvs.
this game isnt the game of the year or really anywhere close but youre going at it the wrong way and not liking it because you didnt play it right.
RE: BRUTAL LEGEND - Goemar - 10-22-2009
I didn't play it as an RTS arghhhhhhh. Seriously just stop, don't make me down rep you just because you won't accept a different opinion.
*Goemar leaves the thread*
RE: BRUTAL LEGEND - Alpha Six - 10-22-2009
i'm reading all these posts over and over and coming to the conclusion that goemar probably didn't play it wrong and legitimately thinks the game isn't that great. And I can see where he'd be coming from, from what I played in the demo the only thing this game really has going for it is Jack Black's great characteriziation with the main hero in the game, and the really strong, overdone "metal" theme. The gameplay really isn't anything we haven't seen before, and has been done better by other games.
RE: BRUTAL LEGEND - Raytheon - 10-22-2009
the gameplay in the actual game changes after chapter 2.
chapter 1 is the demo.
