No, you may not like his personality, but he's not the WORST main character out there. He seems to have personality, unlike many protagonists this gen.

I just played the demo and while I love the overall premise, the gameplay, camera and voice acting is pretty average at best. That said, I do love the originality and the soundtrack alone makes it a must own for me. I'll be picking it up later on down the road on the cheap, though.

[QUOTE="tikki25x"]

[QUOTE="PSP107"] we both dont speak for the entire urban demographic saying u from the bronx wasn't necessary. we both should agree this game is aimed at a specific audience.PSP107

what audience is that? i dunno im not really all that into Metal and i guess im "urban" too, but i thought Jack was pretty funny. and i enjoyed the demo. especially the demonic prayer as youre going down the hill at the beginning. the music was pretty cool too even tho i have no clue who the artists are. lol. i dunno, im always open to new stuff especially when it comes to music so maybe its just me. i understand where youre coming from tho, dont get me wrong.

I been more open to more stuff in the last decade, but Solid Snake(MGS1) is the best character ever. I can imagine ppl in the hood saying " he a cool white dude" Dante was cool in DMC1 and i didnt see the beefs ppl had with him in 2. But 3 he was lame. Using the excuse that it was his younger is usless to me because i found him weak in 4. Ppl hated Raiden in MGS2 but i just hated his convos with Rose while i thought his ninja tranformation was cheesy in MGS4

I don't even understand why you mentioned you were "urban" if you admit neither of us speak for that demographic.

I'm not into Day of the Dead lore, but I loved Grim Fandango. I've never been to a summer camp, but I really enjoyed Psychonauts. I'm no Hell's Angel, but I thought Full Throttle was a fantastic game.

The only group I think Brutal Legend is aimed at is gamers.

The games I mentioned have general themes that were used as the frameworks for those games. Same with Brutal Legend. The theme isn't so obscure that I don't understand it's general conventions. So I don't buy your explanation.

Yes, the Guitar Hero goofy platformer type game that Brutal Legend is is an ugly gimmick.

I thought the comedy was very funny...

Jack Black voiced Eddie perfectly IMO. But, hey, to each his own.

@ VoodooHak the min u ppl heard about a 50 cent game u ppl dissed it. and automacily dissed it when the sequel was announce. 50 Cent Bullet Proof(2005) sold well among the young black american ppl simply because 50 is the star similar, San Andreas did well because the main character was black.

How do you know mostly blk people bought the 50 cent game and The reason SA did well is because it's the best game in the series. nice way to generalize

u ppl read it wrong and dont understand others buying habits. GTA3(2001) was played via others having the game. but alot of those ppl didnt buy Vice City but found San Andreas was having a black they jumped on it quick. 50 Cent Bullet Proof was a horrible game on a mainstream level, but alot ppl at my local Gamestops picked up without knowing he has game.. The soundtrack actually help them enjoy it.

Jack Black is obviously very talented, yet very irritating in most films. However, he did a good job in King Kong (and didnt' annoy me).

So I guess you believe that sales of rap albums are mostly contributed to blacks rather than white suburban teens also.

Damn, racism fail :lol:

how is it fail when its true? Gamestop employees told shoppers that San Andreas was having a black character they quickly reserved. 50 Cent Bullet Proof also was reserved and that had no history but ppl still bought it around here. the main games ppl reserved are NBA and NFL titles here.

He sucks because he's trying to be Metal when he's so the anthesis of metal. He's a freaking idiot fat ass who makes stupid sex jokes all the time. That's not metal the writing is suited for his style therefore it sucks. The other stuff like when you had to chose gore or swearing was fun but Jack's delivry just ruined the game for me, that and the poor actual gameplay.

Thats a good point. I mean in the opening cutscenes, what i thought about the main character is he's more dark. I mean he mentions in soft voice that metal is dead. That gave me the expression this game will more serious than that. Those one liners are horrible through out the demo.

But, that's they purpose, being cheesy for the sake of fun, Dante makes a great job, and Eddie, well, i don't like Jack Black voice at all, but i think is fitting with the style of the game.

Why do people keep saying that? Isn't humor a matter of opinion as well?
