"I really don't understand. Unfortunately, it seems the general populace does not share in my excitement and appreciation for Silicon Knights' latest release, "Too Human". Metacritic has an average review score just under 70, and I personally feel betrayed by an industry I once aspired to join. Too Human was, and is, one of the greatest and most involving entertainment experiences I have yet to witness in this lifetime"
That being said, I'd like to compare the title to another X360 exclusive RPG, "Mass Effect".
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
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
He worked in the game industry since the early ‘90s
Oh sad to say not that familiar with this man's work but RIP to this individual, his music must have been amazing.
Very sad news, I really enjoy the Eternal Darkness and Blood Omen soundtracks, masterpieces.
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."
