I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

King of Nothing sounds almost like it could be a Homestuck title.

@Story I made the reference of the Metallica song of the same name.

Just to be a nitpicky bastard, the song is "King Nothing," not "King of Nothing."

@Wryte I kinda got it, it still counts. Sorta, maybe. Or is it a reference to The Nightmare Before Christmas Oogie's Revenge? Anyways it's fine.

Internet comment sections have a tendency towards the stupid, but I think I just found a new low in Completely Missing The Point.

I was really disapointed with the game. I tried hard to like it but couldn't. I think it suffers from trying to do too many things and not doing any of them well.

@Story Well to each is their own. I still like that game, and without that game it wouldn't have gotten me into things like Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Rotting Christ, Tenacious D and so on and forth.

Damn, that Tales PMV takes me back to the days when I was a Dashiepie shipper, and it was also one of the first PMV's I saw.

Man, I loved Brutal Legends. Or as I like to call it, Jack Black's Mental Image of Jack Black starring Jack Black as Jack Black.

Though I will admit it was a bit overzealous, I did find myself liking all the individual mechanics. I think a lot of trouble I had with it was that the pacing was basically shot to hell after the Lionwyte arc. I think if they'de taken more time in the rest of the game to develop things well the various mechanics would have had time to sink in, and it'd have been easier for them to meld together well. The Teamwork system in the RTS battles was a great idea, but it wasn't developed enough for me to ever learn how to use it that well.

This was my favourite song:

Well to each is their own. I still like that game, and without that game it wouldn't have gotten me into things like Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Rotting Christ, Tenacious D and so on and forth.

Ozzy Osbourne was one of the few good parts of the game (as the Car Upgrade Guy, not the music).

Though I will admit it was a bit overzealous, I did find myself liking all the individual mechanics. I think a lot of trouble I had with it was that the pacing was basically shot to hell after the Lionwyte arc. I think if they'de taken more time in the rest of the game to develop things well the various mechanics would have had time to sink in, and it'd have been easier for them to meld together well. The Teamwork system in the RTS battles was a great idea, but it wasn't developed enough for me to ever learn how to use it that well.

Maybe part of the problem was that I was playing it on the laptop. Some of the clunky mechanics probably resulted from not being designed for playing via trackpad. (Heck, it's literally impossible to get past the beginning of the game without remapping the controls and they don't even tell you this!!!) But there were a lot of other issues I noticed that seemed unrelated. Camera Screw, Guide Dang It!, controls horribly unsuited to the RTS genre and so on. Even Achron had better RTS control and it deliberately discourages micromanagement and tactics.

Edit: Maybe it'd be better if I just quoted my review

I tried hard to like this game, but it's noticeably worse than Psychonauts in every way gameplaywise. The music and graphics are better, but that's hardly a consolation. I think the problem ultimately comes down to attempting to do everything, resulting in Master of None. The game combines first person RTS (who thought that was a good idea?), vehicle driving, sandbox exploration, hack and slash, and even a mini rhythm game (while in the middle of combat with no pausing even!). Unfortunately, this results in pretty much every part being bad. The RTS segments fall flat because without a birds eye view, it's impossible to tell how many units you have, where they are, or what they're doing. Controls are limited to attack, defend, stay, and follow, which just apply to all units in a poorly defined radius, so there's not much possibility for normal RTS strategy anyway. The guitar solos are even worse since you're expected to quickly hold the solo button, select the appropriate song from a large radial menu, and then play the notes of the song, all without pausing and potentially in the middle of combat. At least on the PC, the radial menu is very difficult to navigate, no matter which control option is selected. My main complaint with the hack and slash is the lack of a healthbar. The screen does turn red if you get hurt enough, but that's hard to see when the entire area is orange and black to begin with. There's also a few Guide Dang It moments. For example, the onscreen hints tell you to play into a microphone, but there is no microphone. Instead, you're supposed to play into a little headset lying on the ground. But hey, at least the dialog is funny and the music is kind of nice.
