And yea, Brutal Legend and I gathered together last night for parley. Lightning cast forth from my controller and, yea, I harnessed it with my mighty gauntlets of METAL.
I'll be damned if it isn't kind of addictive to talk like that. That sort of over-serious dedication to the sort of Pagan/D&D METAL universe has, initially endeared me to Brutal Legend. However, what I want to talk about is how sodding good the "acting" is in this game. In particular, Ozzy Osbourne, and the little bit I've experienced of him. He plays the "Guardian of METAL", (or something like that) and the quality of both his dialogue and his delivery thereof. Considering what I know of Ozzy this late in his life, it's amazing how clearly, and with what dedication he delivers them. Thusfar, he's my favorite part about the game, though I know Lemy is coming up.
To be honest, I'm really pinning a lot of hopes on the on BL. I WANT it to be as good as it's story. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of reviews to the contrary. I hate this. I shouldn't, but that poor reception is going to, at least partially, color my judgement of the game going forward. It's like I should quit reading "gaming journalism" altogether, yet I can't look away.
Also, as far as I'm concerned, DOAX2 is still on like Simon Le Bon, haters be damned!
