Humble weekly

Thank you!

I actually never installed it. :P

Its really fun and funny. Definitely a good game

I recently picked it up in a trade, it's pretty fun, I'm liking it at least. :)

I like the idea of how the battles and such worked, some reviews found it jaring but i don't get that. watch a chunk of lp or something just watch out for spoilers. maybe try a multiplayer video for that reason.

the only complaint I've got is the end stopped way too short out of nowhere, its like you go from act 1, act 2 and then suddenly act 3(which the game has been hyping up the whole time) is a cutscene a bossfight and the game is over. you were clearly gearing up for more and it just ends for some reason right in the middle. like they ran out of budget/time and said "lets wrap this up" half way through

more like hack and slash that turns into rts, the songs are just spellcasting

Since you like heavy metal, you really should get it and will most likely love it! ^^ Someone once called it "a love-poem to the heavy metal genre" and this sums it up pretty good ^^

Purely looking at the gameplay, its good enough to be fun to play, but there are lots of better games out there. I does not evolve into some harmonix-game, you just have short and simple input-sequences when you are casting the bigger spells, but the gameplay never evolves around that feature.. but instead it turns into some kind of RTS-light, where you drive arount with your tourbus, set up your stage and send troops over a battlefield and try to conquer strategic points and destroy the enemy stage.. there are some great ideas in here and its really fun for a short while, but gets far to prominent in later parts of the game.

TLDR: If you like Heavy Metal, you will get a whole awesome heavy-metal-world to explore, formed by the eternal firebeast "Ormagöden" out of the four elements: Blood, Metal, Noise and Fire! The story and characters are great, but as a game, it is only just "good enough".

Brutal Legend is simply awesome. I loved the open world exploration, the (at times mindless) hack and slash nature of the combat, car upgrades and cutscenes. A few gripes I have are that I could not really get into the hang of the RTS part and kept failing it many times - and finding all the collectibles or whatever you call it all over the map are starting to get annoying because there's a fuckton of them :/

Still I eventually finished the main story even though I kept getting distracted by secondary missions...

And, being a metal fan who's rather disappointed and disgusted at the way the current state of POP-py crap is going, the soundtrack is awesome too! Classics like Megadeth's Tornado of Souls/High Speed Dirt, early Sabbath and a few gems (imo) like Brocas Helm :O

Oh, the so-called 'harmonix' sections? They're just small solos that're rather easy to execute, you only do it maybe once in a while - the one you'll probably use the most is the one to summon your car!

yeah, http://indiegamebundle.wikia.com/wiki/The_Humble_Indie_Bundle_9

Add 2 spaces at the end to make a single new line.

not sure, their blog someplace I think?

yeah its fixed tier, but when they first set the beat-the-arbitrary it was allegedly based on the average of all bundles preceeding the one they fixed. alleged because to the best of my memory I had rarely seen one at or above 6 at the end but plenty closer to 4, and definately remember questioning the choice of 6 at the time, it seemed like it must have taken some creative weighting. also I think i remember it being lower at first and slowly creeping up after lackluster bundles while still being called average until rounding up to 6 but not sure.

Pointless is in the eye of the beholder. Personally as a gamer who's interested in the creative part of game-creation and who has a girlfriend who is a game developer it's kind of a awesome deal to get an insight in how "bigger indie-developers" work, how they create ideas and how much the team is able to do in just a few weeks time.
It's also quite interesting to see if any of the prototypes will end up being made into a real game and being able to in a way "choose" which project that might have the chance to evolve into a released product.

If however one is not interested in playing prototypes (early demo/showcases), getting an exclusive inside look on the creative-side of game developing or "have a minimal say" in which projects that evolves and which one that might not leave the drawing table at all (or being integrated or transformed into another project later on) then things like this and the Mojams are kind of pointless.
