Sneaking In Early Is Totally Metal

So I'll be honest and tell you that I have yet to watch the video below. In fact, I refuse to watch it. But that shouldn't stop me from letting other people who want to watch it from enjoying it. In case you haven't skipped my words yet and just clicked play, the video below is the first 5 minutes and 46 seconds of what you can expect to be at the beginning of BrĂ¼tal Legend. The opening cinematic to be exact.

Why have I not watched this clip yet? Not due to laziness. Which is Metal. Not due to trying to hammer out an article on it. Totally not Metal. No, it is because I don't want to ruin the experience of the game. It has been hyped very much and I want to walk into the experience completely fresh. At least fresh to the story. I've only played the demo in loud convention settings where you can't hear a single thing coming from the TV.

I'm not saying you should do the same, just that is why there is no witty quips or flavor to this article about the video. I will say that it does bother me sometimes that companies do show off the opening to the game before it comes out. It is what is suppose to hook you to keep playing. How are you going to be hooked by something that you have seen umpteen times before? Unless they plan on something like they did with Batman. Show you the "opening" in the demo only to find out that it was a very very short part of the opening.

Here's hoping. Do enjoy if you are ok with spoiling this game's opening.
