holy hammer of the gods I am hungover. I have to work all say today and tomorrow before I can grab the game at midnight, then I have to work all day tuesday.
oh yeah, they had a huge Brutal Legend demo set up at the Dethklok concert last night. There were tons of people that didn't know what it was before hand but thought it was awesome. I can't get pictures off of my phone of I would post a few before I fall asleep again.

I loved the demo but I need to know how long this game is and if there is any replay value in this game

On normal playthrough, by investigating a little and not rushing the game, it should take you from 12-15 hours. And if you want to do 100% some 30 hours or so. And afterwards you have mp.

about 15 to 20 hours depending on how long you want to spend getting collectables :). If you want 100% completion I think you're looking at 20 hours.

And then there's multiplayer, which looks awesome actually. They started developing with the MP so yeah.

Awesome, we're bound to get it tuesday then (we don't get stock on monday). Can't wait. I'm counting on Brütal Legend to be the one big release this year not to disappoint. Uncharted 2 might join that small club too, but we'll see.

Fucking Gamestop just called me to tell me about the midnight opening tomorrow and I don't even have it preordered there. Now I want to go.

Where did this playtime come from? I thought it was posted in this thread that the guy on JustinTV beat the game in 6 hours.

Edit: Of course that could have been bullshit.

The game is out in 2 days and there's not a single review out yet? That's a little worrying considering that this is a well known EA-published game. Not buying until I see some reviews.

The Game Informer guys said it was really good.

So on that gamestop deal, where you trade two games in to get Brutal Legend for 20 bucks. Some of those games are kind of old so I decided to check out the regular trade in values for those games on the GS site. I was going to trade in L4D and UFC for the deal but then I checked out the actual trade in values for those games here . UFC will get me 25+ an extra 25% for the power trade offer. Then L4D gets me 15-19 plus power trade. I also have my edge card which gets me extra.

So instead of doing their "deal" I'm just going to trade in UFC towards Brutal Legend and then L4D towards Borderlands. Seems like I get more value that way.

This is an accurate number, btw. The JustinTV guy is full of shit.
 
that 6 hours better be bs, that would be like Uncharted length. I doubt the MP will hold my interest that long after. At least match Psychonauts length

I got both this and uncharted on Friday. Nothing against UC2, but as thrasher of ye olde, this game speaks to me on more levels than I can even describe.

There are so many little winks and nods to metal fanatics.
One of my favorites is the forks over the eyes to the viewfinders like the scorpions.
Or the sweet orgasmatron bass line Lemmy plays as he fiddles about.

The playlist is amazing too. You can organize it by genre. Magnificent, everything is correctly organized in the right genre. It's very obvious the developers know the in's and out's of metal.

If you don't think this is one of the greatest metal satirical tributes since Spinal Tap, then you either have no soul, or too much linkin park on your ipod. Perhaps both.

Only doing the primary missions is the only way you can finish this game in six hours in your first try.

Um, no, it's not. Even if you do only the primary missions it's just not possible to do.

How did you get the game early? Everyone always seems to have the big fall games early, are you a journalist or did a store break the street date?

I helped test it. Trust me, you cannot beat the game in 6 hours, and if you CAN you're a maniac.

Well maybe on easy something like 6/7 hours COULD be done, but that's really rushing it I think. Why the fuck would you even want to :lol .

God I'm going to watch Harry Potter ( the new movie ) tonight and I can't fucking wait for tomorrow. :D :D

Are you going to buy the game or do you get if for free after testing it? Do you want to play through it again? Is it awesome? :p

I work for EA and not DF, so no, I don't get it for free. =( However I am going to buy it, as I do want to play through it again as it is AWESOME. :D

I'm not a guy who'll rush it anyway. 6 hours is probably minimum and really, who wants to do the minimum of a game?

I agree, everybody wants a 30 Hour+ Game, but If the play it many people stop after 10 hours or so. There are still enough gamers outside that never finished GTA IV and Assassins Creed. Both take quite long to finish, but also are very repetative.
So I prefer rather a 10 Hour game that never gets boring than a 30 Hour Game that bores me to death after 10 Hours.

the 6 hour time isn't bullshit. You can fly through the story depending on difficulty, skill, and what you choose to do. I'm far through the story, but started doing some side stuff between missions when I realized how quickly I was flying through it. There's side missions and exploration/collectibles to add some time, but I don't doubt at all that people can beat the story in 6 hours. People can even beat Fallout 3 in an hour, but it doesn't mean the game sucks ass.

Me too. A midnight launch means they must have a decent amount of preorders, right?
