NowGamer runs down the ten biggest games industry failures, including games and consoles.
The action-RPG by now-defunct Silicon Knights is now free for Xbox gamers! Check out the Too Human free direct download link with armor sets here.
Fun fact: I'm one of five people to have completed Too Human and actually liked it. It should be noted that the other four ended up in mental institutions....sadly.
I completed it and kinda liked it. Controls were iffy but overall, I dug it. Shame Dyack was crazy. xD
I have never played this, mostly because I didn't own an Xbox prior to a few months ago Def. will check this out
It certainly has a cool story and its a good game. it was just marred by long development time and kind of egotistical creator.
i really liked this one too. Always wished for a sequel, but sadly i don’t see it in the cards
Yeah, it had a solid story and game mechanics. I remember the controls weren't smartly implemented, and every time you respawned, the animation was so long.
I can't count the number of times I finished this game gridding for gear. Weird control but I liked it
Me and my friend beat it so many times. I got the best armor mathematically possible in it. Great game imo but their needed to be more tutorials on how runes work. The one that spawns singularities upon hitting someone was cash.
I beat it too. The controls were weird, but once I got use to them it was okay. I found the story to be actually half decent. Too bad there wasn't a sequel because I really believe if they have fixed the issues the first game had(controls, camera, etc), it could have been a great series.
I remember that I played the 1st stage. The control was so bad that I couldn't force myself to continue.
Fun fact...you're actually one of six :) That game was the reason I kept an Xbox 360 running until they released the very last B/C titles and it was among them.
I thought the game was ok, clunky but ok. Every time I go back to play it though it takes 20 minutes for the controls to 'click' again. Pity most of the advanced combos and controls aren't listed anywhere in the game.
Liked not loved. It's like a cheap dominos pizza it's not great but it's serviceable if your starving
WTMG's Leo Faria: "We revisit Daikatana, the dull first-person shooter that single-handedly destroyed the reputation of the once famed game designer John Romero."
I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.
i really enjoyed it when it came out.
It was free recently on xbox through BC. Id love to see this revived but sadly i think the legal issues would stop that
Once again Urmumlol succeeds in pegging himself as a juvenile arsehole.
Don't listen to the report. This is a great send up of big budget failures. Also quite fairly points out that it wasn't always the developer's fault.
Best example is Haze. Sucked that it effectively ended Free Radical. Probably killed the Timesplitters franchise too, which is a shame.
Haze was strictly a 6/10 game.. then after about an hour of playtime it auto-saved me while falling to my death... 4/10
Too Human wasn't too bad. Hardly a fail to be honest.
Er, you missed off the the Xbox 360 from this list.*
* Irony.
To be fair Ion Storm went and bounced straight back from Daikatana by making Deus Ex and its sequel.
Watching games flop is actually quite horrible. Especially when you've been pouring all over the pre-release content for ages but no matter how hard you try you can't like the finished product.
Then that horrible feeling when you realize it's pretty much a bullet in the head of about thirty to sixty people's jobs.
