IGN: Too Human Review

For everything Too Human does well, it feels as if there is something holding it back. The character customization options and great class and skill system are the kind of foundation games should be built on. But then it's all made rather moot by the fact that dying doesn't matter and all of the enemies scale to you. The sense of accomplishment just isn't there. If you're the kind of gamer that loves outfitting a character and scouring the land for that one epic loot drop, Too Human will excite you and then some. For the rest of us, it's a decent game that will entertain you until the next big release comes along.

In before the fanbots that have engulfed N4G rear their ugly heads.

Mass Effect beats this game down.

A flop is a flop is a flop. Too Human flops just like Haze and Lair.

Game Informer and 1-up both gave Lair a higher score than they gave Too Human, does that count for anything?

It's not about how much of a score it gets, but what it should've accomplished as a 10 years in the making game, they hyped it like it was the second coming, but does it add anything new to the genre, from what i've seen, absolutely nothing, just another generic DMC wanna be.

In my opinion, as those 10 years wasted down the drain proves, it couldn't get any flopper than that.

1.9 - Tronad0r, you dont really believe you wrote though...
What Tronad0r wrote about MGSIV-

"Some reviewers are afraid of giving a negative score to a game from a "big" franchise.

But trust me, reviews of 7 and 8 will start to appear for this game sooner than you might think"

I though 7-8 was 'negative' in your opinion, now 7's are good?

(funny thing is I would have to agree that 7's-8's are good just not great, however its obvious you don't really believe that)

EDIT: I dont think what you wrote should have been deleted, it only compared the score to Lair and Haze- a total fanboy comment, but didnt break the rules

2.7 - funny
It's funny how some people only see the negative reviews for this game as valid. If someone gives it an 8 or close (7.8) people are still calling it a flop. One guy even said it's a flop because it should have been a 10. Wow, that's gonna make a lot of good games be considered a flop in his book.

Reviewing this game is starting to show the ever evolving problem with current game reviewers. They are so, worried about what people will say about their review that they can't even look at a game objectively. I have played the demo of this game, and so fair the IGN review appears to me to be the most on point. This game is no less than a 7. I personally consider an 8.

It's also funny how there are some PS3 fans now who agree with reviews written by gamespot. 6 months again, they wanted to burn gamespot at the stake. Game reviews are starting to receive the same treatment as the console war itself, the treatment of "If it's not ours, then it sucks" which is really sad.

If Gamespot gave it a 5.5 then that would explain why the Meta Score went from 7.8 to 7.3. =/

you must be kidding me... gamepro is very generous with their scores. games that would recieve an 8-9 (Assassin's Creed for example) gets 5's from them.

Also: apprently some people don't realize that 4/5=80/100. Ever see a 3/5 review on metacritic? It's counted as a 60.

It was a much more comprehensive review then the infamous 1up review. I do believe that this game is for those who love the loot gathering gameplay. If you don't like that the combat is just to repetitive for anyones taste.

Just because this game sells well does not mean it is good or not a flop. It just means it had huge hype and advertising.

You say Playstation fans are retarded yet you cannot understand the above?

11.1 - @newschool..
Does it really matter what a review score is if a game is selling lots of copies. I mean honestly, I think sells determine whether something is a flop versus some clown a sitting at a word processor.

Companies hype products to generate sales, if the product sells the way the company wanted it to. Then it's hardly a flop, the game was hypes (At least some of you thing so) and It had 1 mil plus preorders. You can call it a flop if you want to, the publishers and developers are flopping their way to the bank, while you make comments on n4g about a rating given to it by a handful of individuals.

Look how many people were saying the PS3 was a flop. You know why, because it wasn't selling. As far as reviews go, the PS3 was getting great reviews, but wasn't selling due to the price point. And because it wasn't selling it was consider (At least at the time) a flop. Look at it now.

So, in summary sells determine what is and what's not a flop, not some a$$hole's opinion.

13 - A shame, really
as Silicon Knights is a great company, and poor Dennis Dyack has had his name all over the net for weeks. I think a lot a review sites are being generous with these scores, considering the time and money that went into the game.

If anything, I think all the time and money that went into that game would make the critics tear the game a new orifice, rather than the tame(by comparison) slapping it's been getting. But we'll see, this seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it game.

whatI dont understand is the reviews all state that its a good game but list minor problems.Do they think the minor porblems are that bad and they say its a game more towards diablo peeps but others might enjoy it .Does that influence the score as well? I wish it had 4player coop but i can live with 2

15 - This should be a fun thread of contradictions
Any Sony game scoring 7-8/10 is a flop, right XBOX fans?

And any XBOX game scoring 7-8/10 is a flop, right Sony fans?

But 7-8/10 is good if it relates to YOUR exclusive? Right guys?

This should be fun. Grab a bag of popcorn and enjoy folks.
