Not even GameInformer likes Too Human (6.75, 7)

[duckman2000]

I guess a 7 is now a bad score.

If you're an idiot.

Oh please, let's not pretend that there is some universal standard of quality and ratings here. A 6.8 from GI isn't a good score, by the standards set by, and track record of, that particular magazine. Granted, GI is most certainly agenda-driven, but then this would seem like the type of game that GI would typically push.

[cool breeze]

Seriously, how many of the haters have actually played the game? 7 sounds just about right for it. It's not a 3.

I agree.  Demo was horrible or anything.  It wasn't very good, but anything between 5 and 7 is reasonable, or in terms of the EGM scale anything between a D and C.

[Eel O'Brian]

dc online is about a year away, tards

So was Too Human, about a year ago.

you're right, games never get any better with more dev time

i guess a year from now you can take another picture of a game informer review

That was the picture posted in the original story, you twit. I re-hosted it because the original host sucked ass.

And it is meant to support a large number of players in the game world because it is an MMO.  It does look very janky, but even at this stage I don't think it looks bad when we compare it to the other standards set by other MMO games.  I am still looking forward to it, which is odd considering I don't play MMO games often, if ever.

I guess a 7 is now a bad score.

Now a bad score? you aren't familiar with the 7 to 10 scale.  Blame the game reviewers.

excuse me, my mistake, rehosting a fuzzy picture of a magazine review is much less distinguished mentally-challenged

[Kestastrophe]

Can't we all agree that some of us here will have fun with the game, despite the fact that it is not a good game.

[Himu]

If you're an idiot.

Or if you're a GameInformer reviewer. Same thing?

I don't trust game informer at all.

I remember when they gave Yakuza a 6 because they thought it was supposed to be GTA in Japan and it wasn't so they gave it a lower score. 

[Greatness Gone]

Where is the Batman shit, bitches?

[JustinP]

THAT is DC Online?

Paging dfyb, paging dfyb!

the flying animation is no worse than the animation in any other MMO.  WoW mounts are the same, city of heroes was the same. 

i got my superhero mmo fix from CoH and don't have any desire to return. 

[Grecco]

6.75 from the Vanilla Game Informer is the kiss of death. This is the same rag that gave  Assassins Creed a 9.

[y2kev]

They actually explicitly state that 7 is average though.

So 6.75 IS a bad score.

Staying on topic here, the last game that was made by the team doing the new Batman game, Urban Chaos, got a 7.75 from Game Informer.  We already know that this Batman game is better than Too Human. 

[Jansen]

Great graphical affects and character models

what? 

[Grecco]

Eternal Darkness got a 9.5 from Game Informer. Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes got a 9.25


So Too Human is the worst game ever made by Silicon Knights.

[Oblivion]

So it's about as good as Paper Mario 2?

[Tundra]

I guess a 7 is now a bad score.

If you're an idiot.

Back in 1987, Last Ninja for the C64 got a 7.0 in my favourite gamesmag.



Unbelievable if you look back now.

[Raban]

I think it's safe to assume Too Human is and was always going to be shit. Great concept, but since you put Dyack in the director's chair, you get this piece of shit in the end. Anybody with half a brain can't be surprised by Too Human being shit. And I'm not even talking about GI's opinion of it, since I'm pretty damn positive it's shit.

[cool breeze]

The concept was actually kind of stupid.  Cyber-norse? shat

[Tundra]

A Cyberhorse would be cool though...

Or Cyboarz from Warhammer 40K.

Wow,this brings lots of memories.I remember dragging C64 Floppy drive to my friend that lived 5 km from me on foot,weather was not in question,snow,rain,sun didn't matter.He had a tape recorder(screwdriver fun ).

You played C64 games?

You're cool in my book.

I am kind of a retro whore, i guess..

[tiesto]

I actually thought the concept was a bit more interesting than your typical sci-fi/space marine type game. But the way it was presented made no sense whatsoever, at least as far as the demo is structured. Plus the combat sucked, tying your attacks to the buttons and making the menu loading much faster would've done a LOT for this game.

[drohne]

the setting is moronic, but diablo+dmc is a good idea waiting for a competent developer. or just a developer somewhat less incompetent than sk

[duckman2000]

I don't think Norse mythology is necessarily incompatible with sci-fi, but the way they seem to have done it here makes it less interesting than the mythology that it is supposedly based on. The other issue is that Norse mythology is, as most region specific mythologies, very closely tied to the culture and environment surrounding it, which would obviously make it difficult to simply throw robots and oversized interiors at it and hope that it will become good sci-fi.

And I'll say that putting runes wherever they could fit some seems like a weird approach, it's almost so that it reeks of hipster paganism. But that I think probably has more to do with their artists not being very capable. Not very subtle.

[TVC15]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:  the whole concept of cybernetic fantasy is distinguished mentally-challenged.

[duckman2000]

I take it by Dyack's appearance on NeoGAF that IGNs exclusive review is going to be as positive as expected.

[demi]

Haterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs destroyed

Dyack is back

[duckman2000]

Haterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs destroyed

Dyack is back

Indeed.

Playboy Magazine: 2.5 out of 4

[demi]

Next week! I'm stoked... can't wait

[duckman2000]

This game could get 8s-9s across the board and you'd still spin it.

Oh, this one is already pre-spun. For as daft as anything in the game could possibly be, it'd be no match for the daftness of the common game critic.

+ Really captures the epic essence of Norse mythology with an epic storyline and epic characters
- Thor doesn't look anything like in the comics

It could happen

[WrikaWrek]

5/5 - Maxim.

[TVC15]

Space Siege is out peeps. Get it instead.

I was just about to start playing that.

[Grecco]

Dyack posted on gaf again about IGN


guess Cassamassina is on special X360 duty giving his buddy Dyack fellatio in prose

[Eric P]

Space Siege is out peeps. Get it instead.

I was just about to start playing that.

i was going to cave and purchase this

[demi]

Too Human - 500k

Space Siege - 50k

PC gaming is over... when you have people praising a ported console game like Mass Effect

[cool breeze]

http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1&sku=505701

In Europe, they have to pay you to buy this game.

[demi]

I rest my case... Borys is going to shoot himself when Dragon Age comes to 360...

[Joe Molotov]

Space Siege is out peeps. Get it instead.

Is that actually any good? PC Gamer and IGN both ripped Space Siege.

[Joe Molotov]

I dunno man, at least Too Human has loot and a skill tree.

[Joe Molotov]

Buy one and tell me it's good then

I'm waiting for someone else to buy it first. 

[duckman2000]

Review embargo until the 19th? What the hell is up with that?

Additionally, Dyack thinks that there are a bunch of really cool things about his game. What a haven.

[tiesto]

Haha, the new issue of Playboy has a review of the game and they give it 2 and a half (out of 4) bunny heads.

PLAYBOY
who gives every game at least 3 and a half stars...

[demi]

Only a few more days! 

[duckman2000]

Only a few more days! 

For real. Hey man, did you hear about the token concept? I hear it's really cool.

[demi]

I havent read anything about the game except from the demo... demo rocked.

[Kestastrophe]

Toys-R-Us has buy one 360 game, get one 50% off next week. I might have to bite on this game.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just rent it?

Maybe you shouldn't worry about what he's buying... cry moar?

Hey, I care about my fellow dude.

[demi]

Tell that to Haze, jerk

[Kestastrophe]

ducky, you are correct. The only problem with that is the blockbuster by me never gets shit on time. I used to do Gamefly, but the turnaround times have always been 2 weeks, so I feel its a waste. Plus this is one of the few games that my one irl buddy and I can play together. And I can always resell at a very low loss (hopefully).

[duckman2000]

Hey, I advised people against even renting that one.

[Bocsius]

The surefire, guaranteed to work without fail every single time it's tried solution to the whole "[x business] does not have [x product] on time" is a little concept I like to call "waiting."

[Grecco]

Review Embargos that end after the game is out are pretty big warning signs that say your game is ass printed in dvd form

[Oblivion]

Mojonovio, unlock that thread, damn it. We ain't finished yet.

edit: nooooooooooo you lied  :'(

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

It is rare that I root for a game to fail but Too Human is one of those games.  Dyack talked shit but he failed to deliver.  I'm not going to play the unbiased role.  Best of luck to you who decide to take the risk to make the plunge into buying this unflushed turd.

On an positive note, Hostess sales are expected to increase by 25% this month, as Dyack eats all kinds of Twinkies, Ho Hos, and Fruit Pies to eat away the pain.
