" Horrible controls, awful camera, lame combat, embarrassing dialogue, hideous character models, clunky menus, ugly HUD, pretentious storyline."

I've never seen such a cool HUD before. The menus are very good structured and no problem to handle for a RPG player. The character models of the humans aren't that great, but they don't need awesome graphics, because the camera is above them and the most time you can only see them in a huge distance. (Of course they could look better, but that doesn't annoy me. BTW: Baldur looks great). Personally I do like the combat. Very fast and looks cool. The controls need some practice to get into. Many different camera angles. No comment about the storyline yet.

I was disappointed in the Too Human demo.

It went from a maybe rent to a not buy at all.

Wow, this is just idiotic, OXM embarrasses itself once again.
Anyone who thinks Too Human is one of the worst demos on X360 obviously hasn't played like 100 other game demos.

Personally, I think the Too Human demo is GOOD, but even if OXM thinks it's not, is it really worse than:

- America's Army: True Soldiers
- Armored Core 4
- At World's End
- Beautiful Katamari (the demo lasts 5 minutes)
- Bee Movie
- Blacksite: Area 51
- Bladestorm
- Blazing Angels
- Blazing Angels 2
- Blitz: The League
- Cars
- Clive Barker's Jericho
- Conan
- Conflict: Denied Ops
- Crash Of The Titans
- Crash Time

That's 16 games that have much worse demos than Too Human just by going from A to C and ignoring the other 23 letters of the alphabet.

Does OXM really think the Too Human demo is worse than all 16 of those?

OXM is going to look really stupid when Too Human ends up with a Metacritic score in the 70-85 range...

You're right on point. The Blacksite: Area 51 demo was one of the absolute worse demos I played. I haven't tried the Too Human demo, but it can't be worse then the Blacksite demo.

what is wrong with the character models?

 



IRONMAN!

But wait the game sucks balls so the demo is actually good?

hour of victory has to be the worst.



 

 

 

 

as far as I can tell they base their listing on the hype-destroying influence of the demos and most of the game some people here mentioned had no hype whatsoever, so those didn't seem to fit the criteria of how the listing is done

You are so right. And you did good to  post the same comment on OXM's site.Nice!

I don't understand, the guy is commenting the TH demo sayin'

"With one-man PR machine Denis Dyack whipping up controversy storms wherever he goes, it's sometimes easy to forget his day job is acting as President of Silicon Knights. That's right, President.

As in, someone who should be far too busy to find time to attack the games journalism model, forums, Epic and E3, Dyack has turned his internet flamethrower on anyone who uttered so much as a 'meh' against Too Human's name. A game that's been cooking in development for a long, long time, expectations for Too Human have been driven through the roof by his relentless hyperbole and keyboard warrior antics.

When the demo did finally appear on Live, Dyack's tantrums had unwittingly brought it more attention than it would have otherwise warranted. Some might argue that was his intention all along, Yet for the majority of those downloading the demo looking to shoot down his lofty claims - and by God, there were a lot of them - Too Human provided plenty of fuel to pour on the fire."

 

Wait, is he telling something about the demo itself or is he  just BASHING RELENTLESSLY at dyack's face?

The fact that this guy has personal issues of unknown nature with SK president, doesn't mean that i will keep reading his shameless bullshit.

What is going on guys? Are the nubers of OXM too low?
