Too Human update fixes connectivity, nothing else

Joystiq turned on Too Human this morning (no, really) and found an auto update. Hoping it might have shortened the Valkyrie death sequence, they immediately unequipped all weapons and armor and ran naked (figuratively) into battle, only to be faced with the same 15.5-second consequence. They also thought the menu screen loaded faster, but that is all apparently just in their heads.

In a forum post this morning, Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack revealed that the update "fixed some connectivity issues and was done prior to release. It does not contain any balance or gameplay changes." Better luck next time.

...that's for tires.

Anyways, I think the game looks nice; I haven't seen the whole game, but I saw someone play up to the battle of Hog; The story looked like it was going to pick-up from there.

And yeah, people will argue this game is a great game regardless of what critics said, which I don't have a problem with; but those same people need to remember that when a person argues in favor of Vampire Rain on the 360, or the PS3's Lair or HAZE. Or Red Steel for the Wii. Critics are just people, and every person is different.

I can't help but laugh at the fanboys who poke fun at Too Human and then pat themselves on the back. The joke is on them, because they are missing out on an awesome game.

I have been playing games since the Atari 2600 and I can honestly say that Too Human is one of the most fun games I have ever payed (I'm a level 30 Champion/Human at the moment).
All of this crap about the "bad story" and "bad gameplay" is just that, crap.
The story is very well done and the gameplay is totally addicting. Too Human "part 2" is going to be a day one purchase for me.

*PirateThom, did you play the game or just the demo?

PirateThom6463d ago

I've been playing games all my life and I totally agree with the reviews, broken gameplay, horrible graphics, horrible story, but if people enjoy it, they criticism shouldn't annoy them and I'm glad you are able to enjoy it.

RazzerRedux2157d 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.

excaliburps2157d ago

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

IanTH2157d ago

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

Marquinho2156d ago

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

Nitrowolf22157d ago (Edited 2157d 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

darthv722157d 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.

Looper2157d ago

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

Kribwalker2157d ago

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

excaliburps2157d 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.

Fantangoooo2157d ago

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

Neonridr2157d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist2157d 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.

DerfDerf2157d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod882157d 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.

HyperMoused2157d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander2157d ago

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

glennhkboy2157d ago

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

morganfell2157d 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.

Chronicle7802156d 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.

darthv722405d ago

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

Kribwalker2405d 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
