    I've always liked Tycho being frustrated with Gabe comics.

    I like this one too.

    Gabe does bring up a good point though. If the RTS stuff is the "meat of the game" they really should have introduced those mechanics into the game a little sooner. I'm like 2 hours in (or more)and so far its just been hack and slash.

    That's what I was thinking, he looks more surprised than angry. Good strip as usual, however.

    People keep bringing this up, something tells me I need to play this Sacrifice game... I did like Giants: Citizen Kabuto ;) Though I'm not sure if the RTS in Giants is very comparable to the RTS in Brutal Legend... (it would help if you could build structures in Brutal Legend)

    Anyways, great comic. Can't wait to read the news post.

    Sabre you are a goddamn legend

    Also Sacrfice was awesome and if Brutal Legend is even remotely comparable, it is probably worth getting (cutting things up with an axe and guitar is pretty neat too)

    Sacrifice was indeed really good. And I really enjoyed Giants until you actually had to play as the giant. That gold old and frustrating real fast.

    You should give it a try! It's on Good Old Games for $6!

    Brutal legend doesn't seem to play quite the same way (more emphasis on control over the player character, especially towards the beginning) but the RTS elements are pretty close.

    What, so crash bugs and horrendous clipping issues and painfully slow attack frames aren't your thing?

    Damn that game's multiplayer would've been awesome if it didn't run like a steam train full of... butts

    The premise of the game was created by jack black masturbating to metal music in front of a mirror.

    I'm sure not I can bring myself to play such a game.

    Sacrifice was superb in every aspect. It played well, the voice acting was fantastic. Tim Curry and Brad Garret!!

    I loved the Multiplayer.

    I really did not love Giants, though.

    So true... I would have loved to play some multiplayer of that, but this was the age before anyone but Blizzard (go go Battle.net!) really even knew how to properly *do* online multiplayer. I think the game used GameSpy's service or something? I dunno, no one was ever on it...

    And yeah, the Kabuto missions blew. All the awesome story completely drops out and you are presented with very generic "kill lots of guys" or "navigate to the end of the map" objectives.

    I think perhaps they have an acute aversion to fun and awesomeness.

    My cousin's friend had that condition, the doctor prescribed him some anti-buzzkill tablets and he perked right up and learned to enjoy life.

    If you drop the "Even" from the dialogue, Tycho's expression works in that he's somewhat surprised that Gabe even managed to come to a conclusion that is in the general neighborhood of what Tycho was trying to get across.
