Brutal Legend was just supposed to be a multiplayer RTS/Tower Defense game but EA forced DoubleFine to include a single player story mode

Not saying I don’t believe you but do you have a source for this? Brütal Legend was in development for a bit more than five years and EA only jumped in as a publisher after Activision dropped the game. They must have made some serious changes during the last 12 months to make a singleplayer game out of a multiplayer RTS game which I honestly find a bit hard to believe, particularly as Activision themselves never promoted is as an RTS game either.

I did not since it is for Steam only. I have Steam but I don’t feel a need to buy it. Let alone re-download Steam.

Brutal Legend was just supposed to be a multiplayer RTS/Tower Defense game but EA forced DoubleFine to include a single player story mode and to not advertise any of the rts shit so the game sold to people like me who thought it was a Rock & Roll polatformer kinda game when it’s really really not. I was so disappointed and so where many others. The game got horrible reviews across the board and sold like shit.

So I’m the only one who liked the solo campaign?

recently finished trails of cold steel 2 it was really good and really well paced! id recommend the trails of cold steel games to anyone interested in a good turn based jrpg.

I don’t have a need or want to buy the game Lantis mentioned nor do I even want to bother redownloding, Steam. Maybe I should of said “I have a steam account but I don’t have steam downloaded. And I don’t want to put it back on my Laptop” which is pretty much what I said in the first place.

It wasn’t a very difficult explanation to follow.

I don’t like Steam. I don’t like PC gaming in general. Never have, really.

ha, that reminds me I haven’t even logged in to my Steam account in well over a year…probably 2 years or so at this point.

Gears 4— you can get the “Gilded JD” character skin in Gears 5 by getting 2,500 kills in Horde mode at the moment (between now and when Gears 5 releases, apparently; plenty of time to get a measly 2500 kills)…sheeeeitttt, another skin just by playing what is already my favorite mode in that franchise? Hell yeah that’s definitely on my itinerary for today…

oddly enough I’m doing a bit better in Dead Cells Very Hard 2-cell… it just hit me that yesterday was the 2nd and 3rd time I’ve actually made it to the Castle on that difficulty setting, so that’s actually some progress…previously I wasn’t making it past even the 2nd area. I still doubt I will ever beat that mode though. The final boss has soooo much health (and I’d assume it only gets worse on higher difficulty) though you need to be God-level strong in stats to even have the slightest chance…getting the god-level stats requires cursed chests…which is extremely difficult considering the type of enemies you’re dealing with on higher difficulty—like the invisible ninja-like dudes that hit you with a throwing knife that you have less than 1 second to react to (ideally you should always be shooting where they might be anyway, so they can be killed before they do anything; with projectile weapons I’m always just launching crossbow shots wherever they are likely to pop up)

So Extra Credits gone off the deep end of the extreme left

Posting the video that is disecting EC rather than the actual EC video as they don’t deserve the views.

Aristotle: “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

Extra Credits: You stupid animals will instantly turn into Nazis if you so much as see any fascist imagery!!!
(They act like if Nazi symbols play by rules of the warp ala WH 40k).

With the two recent controversy’s involving the Smash community, this line was a hoot.

“Smash is the Florida of gaming”

• another forum user

Seems about right.

[Hawkingbird]

What is this controversy? I want a good laugh

[Stuart_Hayden]

15yr old girl who goes by Bocchi beat a former champion (idk the level of “champion”. Or who it even was) in a tournament. Shortly after she gets bombarded with harassment even death threats on all her social media to the point of her saying she’s done with the scene and deletes all said social media in an attempt to stop the harassment.

No idea about the other controversy

[Saitsu]

The other part, and the only reason Ally actually retired, is that he got outed a while back as to have dated CaptainZack when he was 16. He denied categorically until Zack confirmed it just a little while ago.

Unsurprisingly the Smash community cared a lot more about losing a good player than the bullying or dating someone underage.

And to think, THIS is the game and community that’s gonna end up Main Eventing EVO.

[Hawkingbird]

I was hoping for this to be a funny story. I got more reasons to dislike the Smash community.

[Eskills]

Other controversy was about Etika being harassed by a smash YouTuber before his unfortunate suicide and had the gall to throw a tourney.

Shit community is in fact shit. Shame cause a lot are actually decent people.

Heidi Sprite 🔜 EVO (Heidi_Sprite)

Damn spittin’ fire at dude confirming he was a pedo.

[Hawkingbird]

Fuck all those guys saying it was too soon. 11/10 comment. Show pedos no remorse.

[PVL_93_RU]

I like how that Keef guy made a tweet that “smash is the last toxic community”, and yet every fucking time there’s a controversy related to the FGC - it’s always smash’s autistic manchildren who are in the spotlight

[Radiantsilvergun3]

That’s really not true…I dislike the Smash community as mich as the next SRKer, but no need to lie.
