Forums - Microsoft - Too Human: Impressions from a guy who's finished it

I hope this hasnt been posted before. I couldnt find it anywhere.

Anyways basically short answer is, if you like Dungeon Siege or Diablo you will love this game. If you dont you probably wont like it. It's a Dungeon crawling game at heart.

If the loot dropping and upgrading stuff sounds good to you -- and you like dungeon crawling -- then Too Human is right up your alley. If, however, your particularl alley is more focused on a deep storyline, divergent paths or the new trend of "choice," then you should lower your expectations a little. This is a dungeon crawler first and in that area, I can assure you, Too Human is going to be a success.


There are still some concerns for Too Human. While there's still some time to squash bugs and optimize, there are moments when the framerate is a real issue. And unfortunately that is often when Too Human is at its most thrilling. The more the screen fills with enemies, the better the simplistic dual-analogue combat becomes. But when the framerate starts to dip, the excitement for chaotic action begins to bleed out. Hopefully this is something Silicon Knights can tighten up in the final month.

Less likely to be fixed is the regular loot drops of items that can't be used by your class. These can be sold for some cold hard cash, but there's nothing worse than hearing the chime of a rare item being acquired only to discover you can't wield the Dual Swords of Ass-Kicking because you're a Bio Engineer.

Too Human has been a long time coming and while it may not live up to the epic expectations it is going to be a good game. And who can argue against having another good game in the 360 library?

This game looks awesome!!! OMG IM GOING TO OWN THE HELL OUT OF THIS!



He says they have time to fix the framerate, but I thought the game had gone gold?



Its like Geometry Wars with action figures! :)

We will be looking to do alot of coop on Too Human in our league. Join now!



I've never been a big fan of Diablo/Dungeon Siege, but it's mostly because I find the 'click on your enemy to attack, when there are dozens onscreen' fighting style to be quite boring. The combat style in this game looks sort of like Kingdom Hearts with analog weapon-swinging, so I'll probably give it a rental.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I dont think too human is a turn based/strategy rpg. It's more free roam and attack.

 So were Diablo and Dungeon Siege.  You still had to click on the enemy to have your character walk up and take a swing at him.

selnor always says when any game released on the X360 "best game he has ever seen".
Let's wait until real people have played the game and it is in store shelves then we can base an opinion on the game.

In the video it showed the clicking for the shooting and far ranging attacks. For the close range with the sword he didnt focus on any enemies, it was straight up melee.
