Messed around in multi today - controls for KBAM don't feel as effective as the controller did on 360, and the game seemed to cast shadows on everything making it really difficult to see on certain maps. But it was still fun if a little stuffy of an experience at the moment. Can't wait to see how it all polishes up over the next few weeks! Was proud to see it hit number 1 on the sales charts, even if that is hat-money in action.

So greenmangaming says its available now. I bought it and popped in the Steam key. Now Steam's giving me an option for an 8GB download but doesn't mention its the BETA. Is it the full release?
Release date is the 26th I believe, so yea it's the beta.
I have i5 2500k, 6950 2Gb and 8GB RAM and I am running the game maxed out (4xSSAA) at 1920x1080 and it's a locked 30 fps (for now).
So the problem is more likely on your end if anything. Updated your drivers recently?
Just to be clear, while you can only play the beta, you're downloading all the content (short of any necessary updates come release). If you've pre-ordered/activated the Soundtrack Edition you even get the OST with the download.
Sold!

Really really impressed with Double Fine's support so far on the PC. Not only does it run great and look nice, they're actually helping with balance issues like patching out Eddie's infinite combo as well and adding features like text chat.
Game's in a great spot and multi is a ton of fun. Can't wait for Tuesday.

Bought. Maybe this time I'll try the multiplayer, when I didn't touch it after completing it on the xbox 360.

$15 is too much for this game.

Oh ok, thanks.
This game is too much for $15.
I got it for 360 and PS3 (it was $5 the second time) and now I just got it for PC too.

Game was a great purchase at $60. Now improved on PC for only $15? Hell yeah. Cant wait to get home from work to play the campaign again. Though, i'd imagine realistically i'll wait a week or two as I know DF will still have to iron things out. Though, if i'm wrong and people are taking about how well it runs the campaign, i'll be on it till 2 a.m
So much better with PC visuals/resolution and 60fps! I don't want to say it's a completely different game but it runs well and looks so much better than the blurry memory of the X360 version I have.
About 30 minutes into the game and I've seen few bugs here and there, got completely black main menu after visiting options (fixed by restarting the game) and I was unable to move after one cutscene though that was easy to fix by opening/closing menu. Also one help screen was missing the icons for the buttons it was trying to teach me. So it will need some patching here and there but overall, very happy with the game so far.

Wait, what? On Steam?

The game seems to suffer from some micro-stutter, so I'll have to do some tweaking with triple-buffering or whatever to fix it.
Also, anyone else find the audio is randomly muffled or some audio cues completely miss? Like, at one point a giant demon roars in Eddie's face... with no sound whatsoever. Weird...

Yeah, I remembered that after posting.
Maybe I'm just cynical, but whenever a publisher is "considering" something, I have a hard time believing any actual plans are in motion. On the other hand, you could question why Konami wouldn't simply admit the PC version had been cancelled if there are no intentions of resurrecting it.Deputy Dangle

I just finished the Start a Revolution mission and there have been numerous instances where sound was muffled or just had strange mixing with the audio of the main voices. The demon roared at the beginning of the game with no sound on my end either. There are definitely some bugs and stuff that I expect to see ironed out very soon. The 60fps is really nice though.

Dat art. The SSAO implementation looks really nice and the SSAA looks ridiculously good.

Gorgeous! This should go into the PC screenshots thread.
Did you remove the HUD? Is that possible?

The game only shows hud elements when they are in use, most of the time it's hudless.
Yeah, same here.
I also can't get used to the car's controls. It's kinda hyperactive. It's hard to fine-tune where it's going.
The writing is really fantastic, though, so I look forward to playing more. I've barely played for an hour and it's already gotten its share of chuckles out of me.
I want to get it, I really do...
But I hate, hate, HATE Jack Black. I just want to punch that stupid face.
So my purchasing decision is entirely dependent on one thing: How annoying is Jack Black in Brutal Legend? Is he Nacho Libre level annoying?
He's actually really great. He's a much better (less annoying?) voice actor than he is a real actor. Did you enjoy School of Rock? Because he's basically the same character.
Never saw it. The last Jack Black movie I saw was Be Kind Rewind, which made me want to die.

There is a certain smurky Jack Black over it, but he is actually quite a good fit for the role as a heavy metal roadie.
Uh, how about Kung Fu Panda? Also, School of Rock is a solid movie, you should see it. Regardless, you shouldn't let you opinion of Jack Black change your mind on this game, because there's plenty of great voice acting to go around besides him (Ozzy Ozbourne, Tim Curry, Jennifer Hale, etc.)
