Press and gamers alike are, play the demo a couple of times and you will love it

i liked the demo... then liked it a lot more as soon as I unlocked the berzerker class... the more and more I play, the more loot I find and the more different my character looks after the 30-40 min play of the demo

when your game is garbage you have to defend it.

It's simply not as awesome as many wanted it to be.

If you take it for what it is its fun. Its simply not the AAA exclsive blockbuster that we were told to expect - but lets face it, very little is.

Some will love it, some will hate it, its simply not a game with universal appeal.

Denis Dyack brought it on himself with his constant shameless promoting. It's a good game, maybe not for everyone but most games aren't, enjoy it or leave it. Not a big deal.

Promise people the world, guess what, people will expect the world.

i'm still not sure about this game.

i'm a sucker for hack n slash and RPGs hybrids, so i'm still willing to give this game a chance.

i haven't gotten a chance to play with the different classes, but honestly, i'll just wait for the full game to toy around with it.

the camera is very annoying, and i'm not too sure i'm a fan of using the right analog stick for attacks. it just seems too cumbersome. i'd have rather had attacks mapped to the face buttons, and do combos that way.

it's extrememly awkward doing a combo that consists of "Press the left stick in any direction, then flick the right stick Up." on paper, it sounds very intuitive and simple, but it generally just devolves into you using the same combo and over again, because the stick movements aren't being registered properly (at least, from what i've experience with the game).

i'm intrigued by the world, so i haven't written this off yet, and i'm pretty sure i'll be buying it on launch day.

Its a very fun game that can pass a lot of time by. Once you play enough and get your classes up it opens up a lot of new options and elements of the game. It's like a lot of RPG's, boring off the start, but once you build up your character and face heftier (no clue if thats a word lol) foes, then it becomes very fun and addicting. People need to give this game some slack. I think it is the public and MS's fault for advertising this game as some sort of amazing AAA title when its simply a very good RPG with hack and slash elements. If you take it for what it is you will love it. From the demo I give it a 7.5/10. Im assuming ratings wise it will be around there too since the graphics are a bit glitchy.

this guy does need to shutup though. Let the game do the talking, as I stated in my previous post, it isn't a bad game. But if you do go on trying to reassure everyone every couple days that it isn't bad then it will seem bad lol. You seem desperate dennis, here have a hit of this ganj and relax.

but the funny thing is now that the game is turning out to not be "AAA",360 fans now have to continuously defend this game lead by it's creator.we also see the double standards that are there when talking about 360 games and ps3 games.

ps3 games have to hit on all points,rewrite the book and create new types of gameplay and hit new standards on every little thing.including the title screen.but 360 gamers have changed their rhetoric when it comes to gaming.and that's because of one reason:you're getting outsold and games on ps3 are surpassing 360 when it comes to graphics.

first it was"we got all the games.""it's all about the games.""we have more triple A games than the competition.""we have the best graphics.""just look at gears of war."but once 360 got outsold and graphics on ps3 games started to pass 360,then it was....

"it's all about the gameplay."
"as long as it's fun,why does it matter if it doesn't look good."
"if you play it at least ten times,then you will find that this game is actually good."

we have seen it from the sideline.when forza2,halo3,mass effect,and now too human ended up not hitting the "next level" in graphics or gameplay,360 fans statements changed.but you guys were bashing every game from lair to haze like no one's business.but now it's okay?right?RIGHT?

fanboyism hit new lows when microsoft entered the business.you can see the top brass not acting professional.and you can see their fanbase not act like gamers.which pushed other gamers to join sides because of viral marketing,lies,false rumors and other massive FUD.

too human is an average game that might be fun in multiplayer.but it ends there.but now 360 fans should STFU about ps3 games that are releasing and give those games a chance.

apocalypse.......

It just goes to show you that the media will do whatever it can to stoke the flame wars and garner more hits on their sites.

Denis Dyack telling people "you are playing it wrong" won't change people's minds. Why don't you give the reviewers a guide manual in how they should play the game.

The game will be fun and all but please... All you XBOX 360 fans need to stop praising it as if its going to get a 10 from Gamespot & IGN or something...

The games not perfect and no game is (besides MGS4 hehe), and it doesn't mean Too Human will be a bad game but again it's not going to win any awards. If i had a 360 i'd rent the damn game, but i did play the demo for a few hours. It does get to you after awhile but again not a "AAAA" type of game.

to see so many 360 fans on the defensive concerning this game.

the truth is, the game just isn't very good.

it's not awful, don't get me wrong, and i plan on buying it day one, but the game just isn't polished in my opinion.

especially in comparison to other games in the same genre, on the SAME console.

it looks and feels like a game that was supposed to be an Unreal Engine 3 game, but had to be changed at the last minute.

i remember going to E3 2006, and contemplating playing the demo there, but the framerate was atrocious, and those that were playing it were struggling.

they've fixed the framerate issue, but the gameplay issue hasn't been addressed.

there IS some fun to be had here, but worth spending $60 for fun? i don't really think so.

for the 360 fans defending this to no end: it stings, doesn't it? when not a single person will listen to your vehement declarations that the game is worth playing, because of bad press or media bias.

welcome to what it felt like for EVERY Playstation 3 fan and PS3 exclusive title released in the past two years. i call it "Lair and Haze-ville."

Too Human is what one would consider to be a "flawed gem."

much like Heavenly Sword, and Folklore.

games that don't rewrite the book on anything, but are enjoyable gaming experiences regardless.

just take this blow on the chin and move on. the media wrote this game off two years ago. no amount of arguing it's virtues is going to change public opinion now.

trust me. as a Playstation 3 owner since February 2007, i KNOW from experience.

If he released that (RUMORED!) crappy demo just so the real release would blow people away and get people back for criticizing the game.

Its free so its not like Too Human is robbing people by releasing a knowingly bad demo. I just think that would be really funny if he did that and a lot of people, including me, would feel really stupid afterwards.

DarkSniper - 517 days 16 hours ago

Dennis Dyack is completely aware of the fact that Xbox 360 could not produce what he envisioned with Too Human. When you must defend the quality of the game BEFORE it comes out, you know you're releasing a guranteed flop. When you combine Too Human's garbage gameplay with Xbox 360 hardware, the result is an antidote of complete and utter disaster.

Dark Sniper's best suggestion is that Silicon Knights may need to delay this game another 10 years in order to get this right.

$niper

@Below

Yeah Im SOOOO Jealous of games like Banjo Kazooie and like.. VIVA PINATA. What Mass appeal.... to 12 year olds.

So how is that 4-5 game line looking against Sonys 10-15 game line up.. lol

I see this game being as big of a flop, sales wise, as Ninja Gaiden 2 is/was; only it won't be half the game NG2 is/was.

Sorry but enough is enough. The game freakin blows. Stop trying to push this game on everyone. It will sell horribly and even if it doesnt I dont care because it will just show that 360 fans will buy just about anything.

If this game were made on the Ps3 it would get ripped so hard by everyone, its like people are making excuses because its on the 360.

The games graphics are horrible. The camera blows. Mapping the weapons to the right analog was dumb. The ice skating is lame. The enemies are dumb. Its not hard or challenging. Im glad you can pick up armor but this isnt a MMORPG so who cares.

THE GAME IS HORRIBLE. At first I said it had potential and tried to be nice but now i dont care the game blows. Deal with it.
Maybe the press is being hard on it because it BLOWS!
