They said it was in development at the same time as the first game. But it does make you wonder if it was removed from the first game to serve as DLC. What I read made it seem like a 150% more content then the first.
Kinda early for them to be releasing a sequel. If it means a cheaper original, or a nice package deal, though, I'm in.
I'm with Bacchus on this one, if they reduce the first one's price, or offer a double deal, I'll bite, but if not, I'm waiting to see reviews on 2. The demo had me on the fence enough to wait for a price drop, so you can guess what I'm hoping for.
No.
I'm not buying it. Not for $14.99 and not for $4.99.
I've not even finished Deathspank yet. I only picked it up two weeks after it came out, and have been playing it in between other games when I get an hour or two. I refuse to support a developer who'll shit out another game so soon the first hasn't had a chance to dry out, yet.
I don't care if the sequel was in development at the same time or anything like that. Just because it's done doesn't mean you should release it. Wait, work on the thing a little more, add some more dungeons, add a new type of weapon, work on the random generation, add a hardcore mode, WHATEVER.
Delay the game until there's some demand for your sequel.

Wow, it's almost like they were developing one big game but decided to sell it as two smaller games...
I loved Deathspank, but this really feels like a cheap shot. A sequel out only two months later? That's more of an episodic thing to me, and should carry a similar price tag to an episodic game.

Huh?
Looking at the comments so far, I don't see a single person who's complained who doesn't have a legitimate complaint.

Well I did want more when I finished the first and it is already set up for a direct sequel. Still it is very fast. I guess that's fine though.
Getting this, DeathSpank is awesome. Those of you who say otherwise need Unicorn Poop shoved in your faces.
I don't get it, what are those guys thinking. They should have waited, give people time to play first one. Later on lower the price, wait a few months, And then you announce a sequel. Is it just me or would that be a better way to drum up some interest in the sequel.
Ugh, fix the weapon problem, at least let us keep a set of each element type someplace dedicated. Then I wouldn't have to go hunting for them later when I needed them. Other then that, fun game. Lol, always had to move my 32' forward so I could see the game better. ,i play from my bed.
The achievements are already leaked, too. I think this is way too much too soon, but with such a short development cycle, I guess this was bound to happen.
Lame lame lame. Keep over saturating the market! Quick! Let's grab as much cash as fast as we can before we burn our IP into the ground!
I'm almost finished with the first game so I think this is awesome. The game has the best dialogue since the adventure games of the early/mid-ninties.
It's amusing to me that people are bitching about a 15-20 hour long game costing too much at $15. Now a SEQUEL with new monsters and items is coming out still priced at $15... And people complain?
WTF!?
Enjoy your $20 "content" packs from Activision and "premium" online services guys. Christ...

Torchlight coming out on XBLA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Deathspank. I feel so bad I contributed towards it's sales.
1. Deathspank was great, and had more gameplay than some $60 releases.
2. This sequel puts the total for Deathspank's adventures at half that cost.
3. I will never understand the internet.

Whoa, huh? How is this even possible?
I mean, sure, I fucking want it, but I didn't expect it in a month?
This developer is a FUCKING MACHINE!

Well I was gonna buy this, but I might as well get the second. But if they are releasing them this fast, I might as well wait for the third.
Fuck it, I'll just play something else.
Fuck it, I'll just play something else.
Give me more loots in the first one and i'll be happy. A full sequel can't really be frowned upon though.
My problem is not the fact that the game is great and it's getting a sequel so soon, but the fact the game was decent and is getting a sequel so soon. I'll admit to loving the charm of the first game, the dialogue and the general humor. That, that I enjoyed.
The gameplay? Face it, the gameplay of the game had a fair amount of room for improvement. A two-month gap between the games means that the gameplay is virtually unchanged except for a few small changes and expansions. So it's just going to be more of the same.
Yes, Deathspank is fun, for now. When I get to the end of the game, I doubt I'm going to want to pay fifteen bucks for the same experience all over again, but with new snarky dialogue. Fifteen bucks for a new, upgraded gameplay experience with the same charm I'd pay for.
I don't see myself getting much new value out of the sequel, so no, I'm not going to buy it. If I ever feel like playing more Deathspank, I can always just start a new file on the first game.

Yeah, this is weird as hell, but if you don't want to buy it so soon, then I have a simple solution. Don't buy it so soon.
The rest of us will be picking it up at launch and enjoying the hell out of it.

Except that it's not going to change the fact that this Deathspank sequel is essentially exactly the same game with some slight changes. The developer hasn't had time to gauge consumer reaction, adjust the things everybody hated and done more of what everybody liked, or done anything that one normally expects out of a sequel except to create more.
And hey, if more Deathspank exactly like what you paid for with slightly different environments is what you want, more power to you. Enjoy, my man. However me? I don't see any real purpose in buying the sequel when I can go back and play the first game a second time. The combat in Deathspank isn't interesting enough that new enemies will change it up, the environments in the game aren't unique enough that I want to slog through new levels, and really, one can only pack in so much ironic humour and lampshade hanging.
In six months, when the developer could have offered some new and improved gameplay to go with the game, I would have said yes to a second offering. In six months when the developer is still trying to offer me this game (or possibly Deathspank 5 at the rate this crap is coming), I'm going to say no just like I have right now.

I think that you could hand out chocolate coated vaginas and people would still find something to complain about.

Sounds awsome, fix the co-op and make it so loot isnt "better" then other loot of the same lv. (im talking about the select best armor option) and keep the funny and i will buy it twice
Lol, who cares it's fast? Don't like it now? Buy it in January or whatever. I personally waited for some kind of continuation to the story, considering how first game ended, and I'm very pleased with this one coming out.
To people who say they should "work on it for some more time and add more content" - one word, no. Because then it development costs wouldn't put it on $15 price tag. Game is still amazing amount of content for the price tag, at least for me.

"Now, I know what you're thinking; I'm thinking the exact same thing: too soon?"
No, I'm thinking the same as dexter: "it's almost like they were developing one big game but decided to sell it as two smaller games..."
It's a trend nowadays... But I can't judge, I still have to play deathspank. Got no time though: someone was right saying Puzzle Quest 2 is like crack, yeah, crack straight in vein...
