The Too Human Thread of BamYouHaveAids is a loser

[demi]

Am I the only one buying it here? Sound off fellow Dyack cocksuckers

[WrikaWrek]

Holla if the story is good. If the story is not good, i'm not buying.

[Smooth Groove]

Nah, it's too fugly.

[Grecco]

Thought the combat was janky in the demo, and hated the skating from enemy to enemy. So yeah ill be passing. Probably will bite if it drops in price.

[Van Cruncheon]

shining force neo > turd human

[pilonv1]

too busy playing civ4

[Bildi]

I'll be waiting for a price drop at least.  Maybe get it early next year if releases slow right down as usual.

[Greatness Gone]

I'm interested because I fucking love hack & slashing, dungeon crawling, and loot collecting, but the animation is horrendous. God, it looks like everyone is a fucking robot.

And I heard the story sucks enormous amounts of balls. I have no problem with a generic, well written story, but if it really sucks that much...

BTW, it's hilarious that Dennis Dywhatever is crying over GAF tearing this game apart. IF YOU SAY YOUR GAME IS ON A FUCKING SHAKESPEAREAN LEVEL OF AWESOMENESS, THEN YOU BEST DELIVER.

[trippingmartian]

I want it because I liked ED and I'm curious to see the next original game from SK, but I'm going to wait because I probably won't feel like playing this genre of console game any time soon.

EGM Review


Uh Oh. Shoulda gotten Shane Bettenhausen on review. 

[cool breeze]

I probably won't be buying this, or at least not at full price, but I do hope that it fails enough to ensure they actually go back and fix problems I saw in the combat, yet still succeed enough to have a sequel.  The idea of having a loot based game with good combat would be awesome, but Too Human had worse combat than Diablo.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I'm renting just out of curiosity.

I was going to buy it but that demo.....oh man.

[cool breeze]

360 finally gets it Heavenly Sword, Liar, Genji 2 etc.

I think this is on the same scale as Genji 2.  Better than Lair, worse than Heavenly Sword.  Anything is better than Lair.

EGM Review

This game won't even be worth renting or even buying at the price of $10 dollars after the price drop in three months. Sounds like trash.

Thank gyllengod Demi is taking the fall for me.

[cool breeze]

But the most disappointing thing, by far, is the loot factor. The game offers no shortage of weapons and armor -- which is good -- but the fact that you're always finding better equipment makes even crafted blueprint items seem ordinary. Nothing's worse than saving money and leveling up to craft a powerful weapon or sturdy armor only to go back into the inventory and see that you already have new blueprints for an even more powerful weapon or even stronger armor.

This was one of the problems I hoped was only present in the demo.  It is a same concern I have for Borderlands.

[Kestastrophe]

TOO HUMAN DELIVERS
I am buying it and fully expecting it to be crappy, but fun for co-op.

[WrikaWrek]

Holla if the story is good. If the story is not good, i'm not buying.

You wouldn't buy a dungeon grinder because the story sucked?

That's like passing on a porn because the story sucked.

u gay?

Dungeon Grinder is very much like jerking off. Story is pretty much the mental image you create that makes you want to jerk off.

Jerking off without that "story", ammounts to just fucking your hand. That's what a Dungeon Grinder is without a story that appeals you, fucking your hand.

No worth downloading.

[cool breeze]

If I sign up for Gamefly today or tomorrow, this might be the first game I try out.

[Kestastrophe]

WTF IS THIS

From what I gather, you can't play through co-op the first time through. You cannot select a co-op level without first completing it in the 1-player campaign (page 18 of the instruction manual). Not an awful design, but I'm not sure why they really did it -- just so they could force you to watch the cutscenes?

No way, this could be a dealbreaker for me

It would make sense though since it actually matters and the 1up writer did not mention anything about in the review.

Any word on when IGNs review promo will hit?

Most times when people review games they don't get the manual or anything with it and tend to just play it through in a linear fashion.  But hey, he did praise co-op, so he could have tried that after finishing single player or whatever.

[WrikaWrek]

What do you care duckman? You don't even have a 360.

[Mupepe]

I'll be getting it.  Not really sure what to expect.  I'm hoping I'll be pleasantly surprised.

[duckman2000]

Yes I do.

The bottom is hilarious.

Denis is proven wrong by his own manual.

I'm assuming you have to have played the first level, and then the co-op will flow from there. It'd be fucking distinguished mentally-challenged if it didn't work that way.

[bork]

No thanks, I'll wait for Sacred 2 to hit 360-- same type of "Diablo" game, but with *gasp* FOUR PLAYERS ONLINE!  UNPOSSIBLE!!!!   

[Kestastrophe]

^^Thank the (norse)Gods

I thought that I was going to be throwing my money away on a shitty game there for a minute

[cool breeze]

The best part about Too Human is that it shows that Xbox fans can be as insecure and defensive as Sony fans.

[cool breeze]

From Jeff Green at gaf:

The other 2 reviews that go with this for EGM magazine---written by guys you apparently know better--don't veer much away from this score at all.

 

[Bacon]

SK isn't worried since they will be getting all the profits from Gears of War lol.

[Greatness Gone]

Dennis Dyack just really needs, like, 2 years off so he can regain his motherfucking sanity (pun intended) and make what we all really want: Eternal Darkness 2.

[WrikaWrek]

Do you really want ED2?

Imo, SK just doesn't have what it takes to make a game this gen, a big budget game at least. They are incompetent in too many ways, and a look at their cut scene animations says all there needs to say about the ability of the team to make a game that lives up to the expectations of being on a next gen system.

They should've stayed with Nintendo.

[BamYouHaveAids]

well this thread made my ignore list nice and fat

[border]

I am buying it -- there was just something weirdly compelling about the demo.  Plus, how can you not be there on Day 1 of the Too Human Apocalypse that we're only beginning to see now?

[duckman2000]

Hey, Border:

"Giancarlo wants to hold Too Human up to the highest standards of the action-genre and the RPG-genre, but the game is a hybrid so that doesn't seem entirely fair."

I don't get this attitude. Even if we were to ignore Dyack's own claims of Too Human's excellence in every way (yes, he did tout it as a remarkable action game, and name-dropped well known games in that genre), shouldn't the favorable result be the best of each component built into something great with this selected wunderputty? In this case, it seems to work the other way; we apparently should not demand a great action game component from this, due to precedence and because, hey, it's a hybrid.

And if one was to, as several critics already have, mention shortcomings in the story, one would soon hear that one should not expect a great story either, because hey, it's a bit of everything, and apparently, nothing in a bit of everything can actually be great, or in this case even good. That doesn't make much sense to me, or at least it does not when it's used to excuse elements of mediocrity.

[duckman2000]

They should've stayed with Nintendo.

Pretty sure it wasn't their decision.

Were they actually ever tied to Nintendo, as in multi-game contracts and such? I never really understood the "second party" set-up.

[demi]

I got ignored because I'm buying Too Human? Grow up, loser

[Trent Dole]

Nice title change.  Not buying this, nyah nyah.

Well, it was like Insomniac. Insomniac isn't tied with Sony, but they make games for Sony. That was what SK was for nintendo, until they said to nintendo they wanted to make game A and B (Too Human i'm sure), Nintendo must've said they were out of their mind, and they bounced.

Shane Kim baited, as the fool he is, and here we are.

Maybe Too Human will do OK financially?  After a couple of really negative reviews, doom and gloom were predicted for Assassin's Creed as well but look at how that turned out. 

[duckman2000]

Too Human is going to sell a ton. Games tend to sell on that system, irrespective of quality.

Assassins creed had some great reviews, great marketing, great pre launch hype, and it just looked balla.

Too Human is like, the opposite.

In this case, it seems to work the other way; we apparently should not demand a great action game component from this, due to precedence and because, hey, it's a hybrid.

Measuring the game against a developer's claims is not really standard practice, so I don't see why the 1Up reviewer should be doing that.

The standard-bearers for this particular genre (Diablo, Phantasy Star Online, Monster Hunter) are not known for precise and visceral twitch-action gameplay, nor are they known for epic and memorable storytelling.  Their aim is for a level of accessibility that disappears when you turn your game into Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry.

For all the complaints surrounding the game, nobody  explains how it fails in comparison to its peers.  Giancarlo is on to something with his criticisms about the meaningless loot and poor inventory management, but the review is so short and slight that he never really gets into it.

[BamYouHaveAids]

i don't like the fact that i can still read the thread titles of ignored users; better get on that willco.

i'm 5 deep, now my eyes will no longer be marred by insincere too human praise. don't worry denial is just the first stage when you reach stage 5 you will be unignored.

[Smooth Groove]

You barely post here anyways.  I doubt Wilco will give a fuck what you think.

Galaga Legions is fuck amazing, Castle Crashers is boooring.

You're boring and answer my PM you skeeze

I know Two Worlds sold on X360 but whatever not all game sell on the console. And i havent seen a single TV add for this game. Im not so sure its gonna selll that well. Ill be shocked if it outsells what Bioshock did last Aug.

i'm doubtful. this games has no marketing whatsoever. hell, i visit message boards and i had no idea what this games release date was until a week ago and the demo didn't do the game any favors.

[siamesedreamer]

Are my eyes deceiving me or does Dyack really have a "Too Human Defense Forse" avatar?

[duckman2000]

Amazing. The old "Did the author even play the whole game?" has now become "Did the author really play the whole game several times?"

[duckman2000]

Post his GAF avatar here folks. I don't visit that site anymore.

I'd love to be pleasantly surprised... but not banking on it.
