DYACK WATCH: He speaks the truth but incorrectly applies it.

I am unsure as to what exactly is wrong with the logic or the comment. There are a great many games that I do not get as it were. I am also often told on these forums that I just do not get it. Well to each his own, but it is a pretty obvious assumption that Too Human is fairly oblique to common perceptions. Especially reading this thread where posters try to attach a label and none of which are being terribly accurate. So if you have no understanding of exactly how to define this game how can you say he is wrong in his assessment.

Not getting it isn't necessarily bad. There are a lot of games I do not apparently get, or so I have been told by other posters. I have no clue why anyone would find a music game to be utterly compelling. To me that is a recipe for looking lame, and carpal tunnel repetition. Yet a great many people around here think this it is the ultimate shit of all shit. I also do not get the appeal of Animal Crossing at this point, or why anyone is remotely excited by Little Big Planet. I mean someone would actually have to pay me a lot of money to even play these games. Yet for some they are the height of awesome.

I would also say it is pretty juvenile to attack him on one hand, and then say he should make a game for your console of choice on the other. Which is it the guy is lame, or is he a god to you. This is like a demented Freudian slip. Are you displeased with his latest game, or the fact he is not making a game for your console? I would say if it is the latter you need to grow up.

NO, I made my point pretty clear. Dyack claims that the low scores for Too Human are a result of innovation hate. The problem he runs into is the fact that everything in the game he claims is "innovative" is not. The hate comes from the fact that after 10 years this game is mediocre.

The mistake you made is called a blind logical leap of faith. Since I dislike Too Human you feel that it's safe to assume I dislike everything Silicon Knights has made. Well, you're wrong. Eternal Darkness was actually a game that was awesome and innovative. I personally feel that it was a better horror game than RE4. I would love to see an Eternal Darkness sequel on any console (I have all 3), but since it's also owned by Nintendo it will be on Wii.
