Why I was able to buy Too Human for $10

The first game in a planned trilogy, Too Human was supposed to usher in a new era of "we print our own money" fiscal reports for Silicon Knights. The previews were overly optimistic about the soon to be blockbuster game. Everyone who was lucky enough to see the game in action thought it would be the biggest thing since Diablo on the PC. The developers welcomed the comparisons, hyping up gamers with talk of character upgrades, weapon/armor trading, and online Diablo-like goodness.

What could possibly go wrong?

1.1 - Lack of demand.

Surplus due to lack of demand due to lack of interest due to a bad demo.

Bargain of the century. I bought a 360 for that game and put over 50 hours into it.

I played the demo and decided not to buy it when it came out. I would have bought it for $10 but of course they sold out quickly. I'll continue to pass on it if I can't get it for that price.

My time is way to valuable to waste on this game.
I put ~ 5 hours into it when it came out and it was just god awful...
I was so much looking forward to this game, dismal failure

as was I.

5 levels, repetitive game play, lack luster graphics, glitches galore, annoying hud, horrible menu system.

I can say this since I had a 2 lvl 50s on the game. The more I played the more I hated it.

The game felt 70 percent done almost an alpha version.

But you both said it for me.

It's on my short list of:
"My Game...My Game . . . Why have you forsaken me?"

Please, kneel & pray with me that they don't make the sequels...

I also bought it for $10, and it was really worth the money. I've put in more than 20 hours into it, which is more time than I out in games that I pay full price for. I just had a lot of fun with the combat.

This game is worth the $10 IMO. It is fun with a friend and just searching for items to complete my sets made me kind of addicted.

I actually enjoyed the game.
Played through it with a friend and thought it was pretty good.
Granted, not the best game. But, hell, it was still fun.

1 - you still waste ur money buddy.

I wouldn't play it even if you pay me $10 cause it's a waste of time.
To be honest I didn't even see what it look like buy base on review, sales(xbot love those even though they don't get any money from it) and it take ten years to make.

conclusion it's the crappiest flop that ever flop.

one flop to rule them all.

Still its worth more its money then the FOTY's of last years

2007: Lair
2008: Haze

Both about 5 out of 10 average. Isn't it strange, both on PS3... Too Human is still on a 6.5 out of 10. That ain't great, but its allright. PS3 fanboys tend to make it feel its a lot worse, but again those are Lair and Haze. Both hyped to great hights, like really really great hights. Lair would be THE game of 2007, Haze would be the Halo killer (heck even the name sounds alike) plus made exclusive to the PS3 because it could be done on its hardware, right... Purple Haze fits me better

And what is the score of those 3 games you mention, a flop is considered a game that is not very good and did not sell well cause of it. And it is funny you say "undisputed champion of flops... :D
", when in turn it is the undisputed champion of most games sold for specific titles. Funny how if add MGS4 sales along with Killzone 2 and LBP, which suppose to be the mecca of all games and the next coming of Christ. Still does not even touch sales for one specific game on the 360. Just had to point that out.

Omar your brain has been damaged being too long in Sony LaLaLand dude.

Two of the games mentioned are rated about 8 out of 10 average (source Metacritic). You know which games on teh teh PS3 have been rated about that score that are said to be AAA games by PS3 fantards like yourself???

- GT5p
- Heavenly Sword
- Motorstorm 1&2
- Yakuza 3
- Warhawk
- Metal Gear Online
- Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection & T5: DR Online
- Disgaea 3

Fack dude, thats about half the number of games out on the PS3. And About all the AAA games SOny fantards allways mention to play.

So I guess the 360 has some great 'flops' there!

Too bad, you know my comment is spot on with some proof. The only thing PS3 fantards can do is make comments that don't react on the truth.
