Brutal Legend is annoying

Is anyone else sick and tired of Jack Black and his stupid 'rock' image.

This game seems like it would have made a funny cartoon series back in the 80's, but it just doesn't look funny to me.

Ozzy Osbourne isn't funny anymore and neither is Jack Black.

I know it's Tim Schaefer, the maker of Grim Fandango, one of my favorite games of all time, but this just looks stupid.

Am I missing the appeal or does anyone agree?

since when has Ozzy Osbourne tried to be funny? IDK Ill ahve to wait for this to come out (if it even does anymore what with the whole activision thing...)

that game does look pretty whack i wont be surprised if its good though. With that said i will wont play it

Its already out??!!! You played it?? how is it?

I just dont see whats so good/appealing about the game, then again, I was the only person in the world that did not like Psychonauts, maybe thats why I'm not looking forward to Brutal Legend, I heard it is from the same dev.

No, I am not tired of Jack Black and his "rock" image. He's entertaining and a good guitarist IMO. I'm definitely looking forward to Brutal Legend from what I've seen of it.Flamestos

I get the appeal.

I'm not into metal at all and I want to play the game. Tim Schaefer makes great games. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here, only I don't have a doubt because what I've seen looks cool.

..really, this looks like an epic adventure... can't wait

I haven't seen anything really noteworthy about the game yet to be honest, but when a game that's supposedly as personal as it can get to Tim Schafer, that puts enough faith in me to make a pure blind purchase, and God knows Tim Schafer deserves it.

no, i am a huge tenacious d fan and jack black is the shxt.

I thought the game looked like a boring Beat 'Em Up until i saw you could have an army of headbangers, which I thought was awesome.

No. I get it, it's some cool fad to dislike Jack Black, but dear god, if a voice annoys anyone that much, then maybe there's deeper issues here than a game, I think.

I'm not a big Jack Black fan, but I don't hate the guy that much. He fits Eddie Riggs character quite well. But hey, the reviews will come out and be fantastic, and then all them Jack Black haters will have to bury a hole and miss out, I guess. The rest of us will be enjoying a masterpiece. Rob Halford, Lemmy Kilmister, Tim Schafer, a heavy metal open world with an environment inspired by heavy metal album covers, cool ass vehicles, 100's of metal tunes, etc = frickin' win!

They've only shown like one line of Ozzy Osburne and no, I think the game looks awesome and really original coming from somebody who doens't even really like metal that much. Rock on, Jack Black!

Well I'm looking forward to it. It's something different then all the tired old sequels we always get, you must not like 80's metal?

They're gonna have stuff like Amon Amarth in there, too. Black, death, thrash, hair, and just standard metal.

JB is my favorite actor, so that's just a bonus for me.

Don't forget Guitar Hero. Buying 3 Guitar Heros per year is ultra 1337.

[QUOTE="DeathScape666"][QUOTE="Nuck81"] You must not be harccore!!! Hardcore gamers want sequels. Hardcore gamers want three more versions of Halo to come out next year. Hardcore gamers want Resident Evil 6,8,9 (I skipped seven cause that number scares me) to come out at the same time. Hardcore Gamers what Street Fighter 4 Hyper Mega super Tournament Champion Edition where the game plays exactly like it did in 1990 but it has prettier graphics and the Fat Mans belly jiggles. Hardcore Gamers want Metal Gear Movie 7 where Raiden and Snake have homoerotic encounters all told through an interactive movie where you ALMOST control the action. Nuck81

The game looks awesome

[QUOTE="Nuck81"][QUOTE="DeathScape666"] Is that why Scribblenauts is one of the most hyped games right now? What about BioShock? That was hyped to hell and back, too. It's just easier to hype something with a familiar formula. Your sarcasm was unneeded, rude, and no one acts like that. Anyway, I didn't like Physconauts. I will not be getting this game unless something pops up that really wows me about it.DeathScape666

From what I've studied as a Br00tal Legend stalker, I've noticed that it's actually "cool" and a new "trend" to rip Jack Black apart. Sure, his roles are nearly identical. We all now his gig in his movies and with Tenacious D, but that's kinda why he fits the character. Anyone who has played a Tim Schafer game is not expecting something deep and moving, but an hilarious and well written adventure. He's got a cast that can deliver that. I'm not saying Jack Black is hilarious, but with such fine talent writing the script, I don't have any concerns whatsoever.

Totally agree, they might as well have just named it 'Jack Black - The Game'.Rob-Belmont

Or Lemmy Kilmister - The Game.

Or Lita Ford - The Game.

Or Rob Halford - The Game.

Or Tim Schafer - The Game. (This is Tim's dream game.)

Etc.

As a fellow moviegoer, too, I've seen many people enjoy his flicks. Did they praise them? Hell no. But they didn't hate them, for the most part. A game and movie audience, for the most part, are different audiences, though. Gamers seem to be a bit more pretentious and stuck up. They just can't enjoy something. It angers me. These kind of people do penetrate every form of entertainment, though. They're the artsy fartsy ***** that no one wants to listen to, but they're still intrigued by it. It's like Yahtzee. He's a man I'd never want to be around. If he tears things apart at every turn like that in real life, then what a depressing stay on earth that'd be. These kind of people **** me off. If you don't like something, then please, say it once and get it out, or just don't bother and move onto something you do enjoy.

My problem with Jack Black, and with alot of actors, is that he doesn't seem able, or willing, to do anything other than the 'bad boy of rock' immage.

Michael Cera is another example, can he play anything other than the awkward teenager? I just don't enjoy seeing actors play the same roles over and over (unless its a sequel of course) that's why Jack Black is a real turn off for me when it comes to this game.

Some people do what they do. Honestly, I like Michael Cera. I find his dry humor quite hilarious at times.

I guess, if you don't like them, then you don't like them. But many people have their gigs and not much more. I don't want Michael Cera or Jack Black to feed me some BS lines about this or that if they can't pull it off. Some actors are a one trick pony and they do what they do well.
