The Too Human Hate Machine

Jamie Foxx - 484 days 17 hours ago

welcome to what ps3 owners have had to put up with from the media since its release, how uncharted & MGS4 got some 8s ill never know (well i do know,biasness and fanboyismn which is tainting the gaming industry on a whole).

cant talk bout too human,never played it but when developers pour their heart into a game just for it to be shot down by a reviewer because their jealous its not on their console of choice seriously shows how deep fanboyism has come,its the cancer of gaming.look at some of the comments on N4G, its ridiclous when your totally blinded by fanboyism

I don't really see how you can feel 'betrayed' by game review sites as its their job to give their opinion and take on games. I can understand not agreeing with them and maybe finding fault in their criticisms... but betrayed? My God, you're not sleeping with these sites. Well, perhaps some of you are... I don't know about any of your personal lives.

Seriously though, I don't see why so many seem to be so caught up with review scores. You can enjoy the game regardless of whether Emperorbob357 on some website enjoyed it equally. I understand that Too Human probably has garnered alot of hate and bashing because it's 'the thing to do'... but I think some in their love for a particular game can forget that maybe not everyone shares those same feelings. I've personally played the demo and I really couldn't get into the game. It's just not for me... but I know there's lots of loot lovers out there having a grand ole' time. That's the beauty of opinion... everyone's entitled to one.

In my opinion it is a very niche title and it does surprise me a bit that quite a few people don't seem to believe or perhaps achknowledge this. It doesn't make it a bad game... just not something that everyone's going to love. Just like many RPG's. Too Human is what it is... a love it or hate it game (for the most part). I know not everyone is this way... but it feels as though some of these writers feel they need justification for their purchase from other people or other sites. Gamers should just enjoy the games they love and not worry about what others think or say about it. Unless of course someone's spreading misinformation or something like that. There's always exceptions.

This is really going out of the bounds .... who cares if game suck, cant we move on or should we be forced to love it?! Really this is to much, every single day there is at least 3+ articles about 2 Human and why it sucks or doesn't suck, what Dennis thinks, those homosexuals from x play, etc. Enough is enough!

Or maybe the game is really mediocre and Too Human defenders believe in some kind of conspiracy against the game and Dyack.
this game would have gotten the same criticism regardless of the console that it's tied to.

At first: "OK, so it got average scores, some 70's, 80's, and even a 93 from a Greek magazine that 3 people have heard about, not a bad game. Good job MS."

(insert 20 odd whiny interviews from Denis)

Then: "I feel bad for the guy, he spent a lot of time with the game, was practically married to the concept for 10 years only to end up with people dissing it."

(insert Kevin outburst & never-ending whining from Denis/websites)

Finally: "OMG, STFU, I hate this game with a passion and glad it's not all that it was cracked up to be. I'll go postal if I hear the words 'Too Human' ever again."

For the most part the reviews have been positive. A lot of complaints on the camera but a few positive reviews commented on the camera saying that it's different and takes time to get used to and after awhile the camera works flawlessly. I know when I first started playing I thought the game sucked because of the camera and got frustrated. Gave it a few more tries and it started to work for me. And now I can take out anybody with ease without the camera giving me problems. The overall average is about a 73% right now but I would give it a 9 because it's just so much fun with a great cyber norse story and different but accurate gameplay. The death scenes are crap tho'. It seems that most of the negative reviews are people that didn't get used too the different control/camera while the positive reviews didn't mind it.

Wow people need to calm down so what if too human is a heap of crap!? Plus why would you compare a great RPG to a crap one?

In my opinion Mass Effect is in another league than Too Human. Where I find Mass Effect to be the best rpg released this generation(followed by Oblivion), Too Human is nothing more than 6-7/10. 7 if you like the genre, otherwise a 6.

Welcome, to what the media has been doing to the PS3 for months now. Get off your high horse and get over it. Who cares what the media says about the game you love and play on. I have seen the media bash games for the PS3 that I actually enjoyed, and many of those games scored much lower on average. As for Too Human, I have played it and I hated it.

Metacritic has an average review score just under 70, and I personally feel betrayed by an industry I once aspired to join.

thats the problem
he feels betrayed

You feel your game deserves better scores but like most ppl on this site metric doesnt lie. It takes the average of many reviews.

on metric anything over a 7 is good. On N4G we have ppl that think a game under 8 is crap!

losers

anything under a 7 is not good

tough sh!t

it wont be the last game that got some hype and sh!ts all over its self

deal with it

its over

move on

Is that people want/expect reviews to line up with what they personally feel about a game/movie/CD etc. When they don't, they think something is wrong with either the review or their take on the game. If you like a game, play it. A lot of people hate on Halo 3, but it was everything and more than what I expected and one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Along the same lines, I don't get the whole MGS4 thing. Too many cutscenes, it seems like the game is in black and white there is so much grey in it, etc.-- but these are things that I don't like about the game. Does that mean that because I don't get it, MGS4 sucks? No. Does the fact that MGS4 has gotten great reviews mean I should like it? No. The point of the article is basically this "negative reviews can affect sales of a game I personally like." Perhaps. But it seems like everyone on my freinds list is playing Too Human, so I think it is still going to sell okay. The biggest underlying, and unspoken, reason for articles like this is simply that people who enjoy Too Human are worried it won't sell enough for the next two parts of the trilogy to be released.

I just finished my first time threw and really enjoyed TH. If this is your type of game at least rent it. You won't regret it, and I'll bet you will end up purchasing it!!
