| hanafuda said: Two exclusives that were hyped to the max, but met with hostile reviews and poor sales. I confess that I paid good money for Haze upon release in Japan. I'm not even going to try and defend it, but at the very least I could have spent the time playing worse. I beat the single player, then got about 3/4 through in online co-op, which was reasonably entertaining. Then I sold the game (probably about a week after buying it). Ultimately though it was pretty poor. I can't speak for Too Human. Anyway, the games have been compared to one another before, and it looks like for good reason too. Haze sold about 400,000 to date. Too Human did OK in the US during the first week, but pretty badly elsewhere. So which one will win? In other words, which one will sell the least? If figure Too Human might win it. Shocking sales in Japan and Others, and at least Haze being an FPS meant it had some brief legs, where Too Human is some unusual RPG/action type game. |
1. Both games were hyped, but Haze was more hyped (shooters are always getting hyped like hell, especially when they are exclusive)
2. If you look closely at the metacritic score, you would see that the highest score for Haze was a 79. Everything else was 71 and below. Too Human has good (18 reviews 90-76), mediocre (32 reviews 74-60) and bad (13 reviews 58-20) scores.
3. Too Human did actually good in Japan (just look at God of War or anything comparable) and good in NA. Only the Others sales were bad. Both had the same percental drop in NA and of course Haze has a small advantage because it's a shooter.
