Silicon knights been working on Too human for a long time and game informer gave it a 6.75 and game informer usually grades above the Average game score so i want to hear your opinions.

 

Trusting Game Informer gives this thread zero credibility.

I don't think it'll be a AAA game, but I don't think it'll hit Lair bad. Maybe around Heavenly Sword level, but because it is silicon Knights it'll probably be better then that.

I don't mean to offend anyone with comparisons to PS3 games, but Nintendo and Microsoft hasn't seen any high profile releases that have backfired as badly as those 2 did.

huh?

 

 

Oh please, you're telling me that an average of nearly ALL gaming review sites is fair, no matter how biased they are towards a system?

Let's see:

Ninja Gaiden - Heavily marked down for not being a big leap from no.1 and somewhat cheap AI, despite most reviewers saying it has the best combat engine in the genre.

VS

Heavenly Sword - Marked down for being way too short (6-8 hours) and given marks up for being the only decent game PS3 saw for a while AND being a new IP.

Play both and come back and tell me that Heavenly Sword is as good as Ninja Gaiden II. Also, sales figures? pointless, one was released 3 months ago and the other a year ago. Also note one is now platinum which is $50 AU VS $119 RRP for the other ($79 if you bargain shop).

Also, I notice you didn't make any comparisons with Lair, then why bold it?

What about Ninja Gaiden 2? Lost Odyssey? Blue Dragon? Kameo? Tenchu Z? Ninety-Nine Nights?

How is Ninja Gaiden a flop, 83% average on Granks (which I don't trust by the way), and 660,000 copies in 3 months. LO and BD did their job by allowing MS to break into Japan. Kameo, is up for debate, but I don't recall HS and Lair levels of hype for that game. Tenchu Z and 99 Nights? Zero hype for both of those games, that's like you listing "carnival games" if that were a list of Wii games.

Did people forget the words "High Profile" releases?

Um, the first Ninja Gaiden was my favorite game of all time, but I liked Heavenly Sword better than NG2.  NG2 was one of my biggest let downs ever.
