10 most unbelievable lines of dialogue from Too Human
111
Fidgit's Tom Chick writes:
"Regardless of what I think of Too Human as an action RPG*, there's no denying that it contains some of the most memorable writing in a computer game since Richter barged in on Dracula and was told something about a man being a miserable pile of secrets. Early on in Too Human, I was sent scrambling for a pencil because I couldn't quite believe what I'd heard. I made sure to keep it handy throughout.
After the jump are the top ten most unbelievable bits of dialogue from Too Human."

Dyack and Co. knew that by hyping the game so much, actively baiting forum trolls, and then including such lines as "If that's your best, bring on your worst," they could ensure their game immortality as an internet meme.

I don't get why this is so hot right now?
Off the top of our heads, every one of us can name ten games with far worse dialogue than this - dialogue that truly deserves to be made fun of. I could give you a manifesto from MGS4. And let's see if any lists go up when RE5 launches. They should. Clearly this author seems to not enjoy the game. But if this is the worst one can gripe about it, I may have to check it out.
And some of those lines actually sound damn cool.

Do you understand anything about this game? It is based on Norse Mythology so the people talk like vikings. Man, this is why this article sucks because without the context you make the assumption like you did.
Go watch something like the Thirteen Warrior to see what I mean.
You want some bad dialog fire up SC IV.

Whoa... hold on... people talk like vikings?
Vikings didn't speak in English, to start with.
It's like a bad movie where the Nazis talk with German accents while speaking English. Absolutely no need for awkward sentence construction. If they wanted to make it authentic, they could have made them speak in some Scandinavian language, not broken English.
This game is as close to Norse Mythology as Eaters of the Dead was to Beowulf. Lots of artistic liberties. The fact there's robots makes the entire Norse mythology schtik nonsense.

Wait, so Vikings talked in 1970's cliches with nonsensical ideas and poor sentence structure?
And I you can't have a movie about Nazi Germany for English speaking people without having them speak English. It's a commonly excepted style for movies that would be entirely in a foreign language otherwise. They do it in the accent because that is the most they can do. And don't give me that subtitle idea. If subtitles were any good at all everything would have subtitles. No one picks subtitles as their first choice. Unless they are Mel Gibson.

4 - Stupid article
Makes me question the intelligence of the author. Some errors are bad syntax and some sound rather strange, but with no context or characters it's hard to tell. That being said, I could clearly understand many of the meanings, which he then twisted to make it sound ridiculous

First of all, it seems to mean to be quite melodramatic in writing, that being said, I'll explain myself:
10) "What would monsters want with the Norn's datastacks?"
Hard to judge this one, we haven't played through it (though he states we know nothing about it). But there's nothing wrong with the writing.
9) "Make sure courage guides your sword hand, not your fear."
Why would courage guide your fear? That makes no sense.
It obviously means don't let fear guide your sword, bad syntax.
8) "Make sure you die on your feet and not cowering behind some fetid corpse."
It's not common speech therefore it's ridiculous?
7) "I aim to get out of here."
"Yeah, but will it be in a bag or on a pair of Valkyrie wings?"
"Damn comedians."
Context needed, sounds bad though
6) "Come on, boys, let's party."
Wait, did I really hear that? Did one of my followers just enjoin his cyber-Norse companions to "party"? What game is this again? And can I get David Cross in here for a reading of that line?
Context
5) "We shall free the world from cold stagnation."
Really that bad?
4) "Your fear soaks your armor. I can smell it."
Not many videogames feature characters who smell each other.
It's not literal.
3) "There be monsters here."
What's wrong with that?
2) "As executor of the will of the Aesir, I will destroy you."
Then, as the keeper of the materiel manifest for the Aesir, I will either equip or sell the items that you drop.
Sounds lame in writing, but it's not really bad :/
1) "Did you toast to me when I lay upon a marble slab in hell?"
This line is followed by an awkward silence. No joke. The character says it at a party and then everyone clams up and won't make eye contact with him. I'm not sure why, because I'd long since given up trying to make sense of what passes for a story in Too Human. But in my head, the awkward silence was from everyone wondering whether to correct his usage of "lay".
The fact he couldn't get the meaning of that is why I questioned his intelligence, it really is quite obvious :/
1) "Your agonized shrieks shall be your only monument."
Drama again
1) "If that's your best, bring on your worst."
Nonsense statement :P

Is it just me or are people going the extra mile to bash this game?
I mean picking apart dialog before the game has actually hit the store shelf? Something which noone can put into context without seeing the game.
Where is the article complaing about the CD artwork? Or how about that the CD booklet is too shiney?
Yes some of it is funny but it all seems a bit much.

GiantEnemyCrab,
Dyak invited the criticism when he baited people on message boards and attacked videogame journalists for the past 3 years. If he or his game can't take it then he shouldn't have dished it out.
There is a huge difference between someone eccentric and somewhat annoying like Cliffy B doing his shtick but then delivering an amazing game like Gears and dyak being so confrontational and then delivering a mediocre product like Too Human.

The question should be why you're attacking this game so much? There's nothing particularly wrong with the dialogue and as rightly pointed out by Mc Fadge above, the author is plain daft with certain quotes. Pick up a copy of Conan or Thor comic book, the dialogue is pretty much the same. PS fans try so hard to laugh at something that is unfunny just to put it down, its pathetic. Do your worst, fools.

5 - That article was lame
10, 8, 7, and the second #1 are not bad. The writer of the article was just grasping for straws
3 sounded like how a pirate (specifically an Irish Pirate, from which the stereotypical pirate-speak comes from) would speak, not "ebonics". This moron failed to realized that Vikings *may* have actually gone in a boat or two, and they *may* not all have been Harvard-educated.. It was definitely out of place, but I guess the wank who wrote the story couldn't get his reference right as well.
5 and 2 you would have to hear in it's context to see whether or not it makes sense.
The rest of them are actually bad, but neither here nor there.
And I'm sure the phrase "let's party" was never spoken in history before the movie Animal House. I'm being a little sarcastic there, but really, this article was pretty lame.
