Brütal Legend/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch|Complaining About Games You Don't Play]]: [[Tim Schafer]] says that those who ATTEMPTED multiplayer enjoyed the game the most, and that those who complain about the Stage Battles are merely spouting "[[Ruined FOREVER]]" over seven tutorial missions without ever touching multiplayer, and that reviews reflect it and remain high regardless.

{{quote|'''Tim Schafer:''': When we showed the game to EA, they were interested but wanted to test the concept. In focus tests, the stage battles rated high. What's interesting is the people in those groups aren't told anything about the game and have no expectations for it. One of the things you notice looking at [http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/brutal-legend Metacritic ratings] is that the highest scores come from those who really enjoyed the stage battles, and when you get down to the critics who didn't like the stage battles those reviews often [[Ruined FOREVER|center around their expectations about what we were going to make]], instead of looking at the stage battles for what they are in a fresh way.}}

* [[Crazy Awesome]]: [[Tim Schafer]].

** Also, the game itself. It gives you achievements for throwing hedgehogs at an [[Everything's Worse with Bears|armored bear]] until it drops dead, jumping over a six-legged mammoth [[Ramp Jump|with your car]], and riding a motorcycle boar across half the continent to drown it in the sea of killer black oil. It's just as fun as it sounds, trüly.

* [[Ear Worm]]: Once you hear the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVo98qkUoTc commercial], you will never unhear it.

* [[Evil Is Cool]]: In universe, Eddie sure feels this way in the Temple of Ormagoden.

* [[Fan Dumb]]: Tell a fan you thought Brutal Legend was short or was an RTS in disguise, expect a tongue lashing.

** Don't EVER tell a fan you skipped the multiplayer, or ask them to help you cheat your way to achievements.

** Taken to truly extreme levels with the multiplayer. As has been mentioned, the campaign mode is essentially a very long tutorial. Apparently, those who ''haven't'' played the multiplayer are "ungrateful greedy posers" for expecting the campaign mode of a game to be enjoyable as a standalone, when for any other game, it would be a requirement.

* [[Foe Yay]]: "Lita? You sound bitter! Why don't you come over to my place for a nice relaxing swim."

* [[Game Breaker]]: The Heat Seeker makes Death Rack side-missions almost too easy.
