Destructoid Review: Too Human

Destructoid writes: "Too Human attempts to blend Norse Mythology with science fiction to retell the beginning of The Ragnarok, that which the Vikings considered their end of the world, when their Gods, the Aesir, would be destroyed in a war with Loki and his children. Playing the role of Baldur, it is your job to wage war against the mechanical horde with whom Loki has sided and protect humanity as an Aesir."

That's going to bring down the metacritic score.

facepalm6480d ago

"Ouch" is right... {That's what I said after their "Eternity's Child" review as well...}

I admit that I didn't enjoy "Too Human" as much as other people, but I believe that it doesn't deserve a "2"...

leyego6480d ago

agreed..
a 2/10 is just.... uncalled for... no matter how much it sucks it doesn't deserve a 2..
oh well to bad metacritic doesn't give a rats ass.

badz1496480d ago

that's a low review for a game that had 10 years of hype! in fact 'TOO' low, it's almost funny! I won't read the review and I didn't play the game either but nor do I agree with 2/10! (TOO)

LuigiLogik6479d ago

I'm probably going to get a wambulance for this but i'm serious, I'm not defending the game nor am i saying that they shouldn't have given it 2/10. They can give it any number they want, but the purpose of Meta Critic is to collect an aggregate scores from sites which have similar standards. 99% of the sites would give 2/10 to a game that was completely broken other then the fact that it booted up and actually started. Destructoid seems to give 2/10 mostly because of overhype and a bad story, they admitted to actually liking some aspects but still gave it a 2. which is fine for a laugh and to get more hits on your site but i don't think that their number score should be taken into consideration, but by all means read the text.

BattleAxe6479d ago

That score is so hilarious. People who own XBOX 360s must be starting to doubt the console. First Too Human, then Infinite Undiscovery, then Tales of Vesperia. These games were some of what was supposed to compete with the PS3 lineup, but failed. I think Banjo will be the next flop, but I think Gears2 and Fable 2 will be huge.

Destructoid you suck!

This game is definately not a 2, I don't even think you scored Vampire Rain a 2.

chasegamez6480d ago

Vampire Rain is more like a 2
looks like a last gen game

DarthTigra 6480d ago

Yes i have to agree this game imo is a 5 at worst

Relcom6480d ago (Edited 6480d ago )

lol you take it like a personal insult....weak

By the way if you look up zero in the dictionary their is a pic of vampire rain

The gaming GOD6480d ago (Edited 6480d ago )

"Never going to that site again"

So we cry foul just because we don't get the scores we want?

That's like saying "Mommy, I don't love you anymore because you gave me similac when I was an infant"

NG4, Home of the crbaby lol

I don't see how people have faith in reviews anyway. What you can't rent a game and formulate your own opinions? You need to be told what your opinion is by some "professional"?

LOL- the crbaby edited his comment so that "Never going to that site again" is gone

GiantEnemyCrab6480d ago (Edited 6480d ago )

Personal insult? No. It is an insult to this game and gamers that read this dribble. I understand reviews are personal opinions but this is just insulting.

The Gaming God: Excuse me? I have a problem with this review and you call me a cry baby. That's what the comment section is for to discuss the topic at hand and this is a a ridiculous score for this game. There is obviously something going on beyond just the review of this game and yes I will not be visiting this POS site again but I did remove that part of my comment because I didn't think it needed to be said here.

So can you have a discussion without insulting other members of the community in the Open Zone? You seem to have a problem with that here.

Relcom6480d ago

what you do is look at the reviewers tastes and see if they fit your own. if it does take it to heart if not then don't give a sh*t.

Simple as that man.

Fox016480d ago

I know this game is bad... I just don't think it's 2/10 bad.
Well it's his own opinion anyway and I wouldn't give a f*** if I was interested in the game...

Nevers6480d ago

Cuz at least his blatant retardation didn't effect his spelling. But really > WHAT A JOKE !!!

I actually love the controls and really LM>f'n<AO when I read this part

"analog controls lack depth of any kind, get really old really quick and are unresponsive"

Oh, you mean less old than pushing in combinations of buttons ?!?!? I mean, come on... What a dumb@$$

And for a game with absolutely no slow-down from load times (unlike almost every other game on the market) Too Human's "Valkyrie scene", if not necessary, is a great punishment for a game that is nothing but reward after reward after reward.

I and all the friends of mine that have bought Too Human (6) are having a blast with every aspect of the game. And speaking on their behalf, I'd like to voice opposition to this totally lame score. Review it bad, if you want; but it's definitely not a 2/10. That's just biased BS !!

Doggstyle6479d ago

Obviously,this review is because Dyack wouldn't STFU. Totally unfair, but made to get hits and/or piss him off enough to keep talking sh1t about "haters".

This is TOO Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!

uxo226480d ago (Edited 6480d ago )

A totally irresponsible and careless rating. Makes a total mockery of the game reviewing industry. All future reviews by this guy will be ignored by me, as he has proven that he can not be objective.

Shame on him, he should be moved to building custodian or lawn care...lol

I tell you what would be nice, if someone would create a website that list game reviewers and allow gamers to review and rate their abilities to do their jobs properly. This would help people when they are trying to buy games; as the quality game reviewers would rise to the top.

They can rate the sites and the reviewers. These dudes are no longer in touch with gamers.

PiTCHBLaCK6479d ago (Edited 6479d ago )

Gamefly allow Players to review and rate games.

based on 1409 ratings, TOO Human has a rating of 7.1

Too Human Free for Xbox Gamers - Download It Here

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.

RazzerRedux2168d ago

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.

excaliburps2168d ago

I completed it and kinda liked it. Controls were iffy but overall, I dug it. Shame Dyack was crazy. xD

IanTH2168d ago

Glad to hear it! So, when did you get out of the institution?

Marquinho2167d ago

Too Human was "The Order: 1886" of the 360.

Nitrowolf22168d ago (Edited 2168d ago )

I have never played this, mostly because I didn't own an Xbox prior to a few months ago Def. will check this out

darthv722168d ago

It certainly has a cool story and its a good game. it was just marred by long development time and kind of egotistical creator.

Looper2168d ago

Hey!! I was told survivors had all signed an NDA! I'm telling!

Kribwalker2168d ago

i really liked this one too. Always wished for a sequel, but sadly i don’t see it in the cards

excaliburps2168d ago

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.

Fantangoooo2168d ago

I can't count the number of times I finished this game gridding for gear. Weird control but I liked it

Neonridr2168d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist2168d ago

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.

DerfDerf2168d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod882168d ago

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.

HyperMoused2168d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander2168d ago

Beat it as well. it had a good story line. Overall it was decent.

glennhkboy2168d ago

I remember that I played the 1st stage. The control was so bad that I couldn't force myself to continue.

morganfell2168d ago

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.

Chronicle7802167d ago

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.

Phoenix Down 87.0 – Too Human

Denis Dyack would disapprove.

darthv722416d ago

I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.

Kribwalker2416d ago

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
