Forums - Gaming - Game Informer: Too Human Review! 6.5

ameratsu said:

this game is not on the same level as hazlo. some ps3 fans, for whatever reason, saw that haze was shaping up to be less than great and still were all aboard the hype train insisting it be a great game and a great seller. While some x360 fans might have hyped up too human to a small extent, that died off once the demo hit... hell even before that i didn't see much mention of it. In this regard I think ps3 fans here could learn something from x360 fans. That said, I really want to try this along with castle crashers.

 

With Haze, we didnt' know the game sucked until the first review hit, which was a 3.5? from IGN. It was a shock. The day before, we were all expecting it to fall anywhere from average-amazing. Everybody LOVED the demo, as well.

Now, we've been hearing about how much Too Human sucked for months, from every previewer on the planet. GAF and Dydac(sp?) have been in flame wars because so many people have hated on the game. The games developer has actually made a bet with a group of internet fanboys that the game isn't gonna suck. Every preview from the last couple of months has basically told us to not expect a hell of a lot from the game.

 

Is anything I've said in this post false?

What conclusions would an unbiased man take from these opinions and assertions, assuming they are true?

il be skipping this. looks like only gears 2 and fable 2 are on my radar for 360.

 

 what about banjo?

I hate to say it but Banjo looks... well, it looks really fucking boring. There's no platforming in that platformer outside the collect the parts hub world. And the vehicles look awful - impressions have been extremely negative WRT the vehicles.

My Xbox 360 holiday shopping list:

Fable 2

Gears of War 2

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Infinite Undiscovery

The Last Remnant



Saying that people loved the demo for Haze is a flat-out lie. As soon as the demo dropped, people knew that Free Radical had screwed the pooch. I bet the demo really hurt sales for Haze.



way to much to base off one review. tho i see this game scoring in 70s or low 80s

ive disagreed with game informer alot of times, including when they gave rome total war a 7 or something. Fuck everyone else including me loves that game besides a few



Owner of all consoles cept DS.....Currently in love with prototype!

Hopefully this gets them to drop Too Human and get back to work on Eternal Darkness 2 for the Wii.

You call me a troll??? After I said this...

"I wouldn't wory to much about this for now. This is just one review. But if the mass majority of the reviews are like this if not lower, then I'd worry. Being a fan of the original Siren on the PS2, Siren received anywhere from a 9/10 to a 4/10 which resulted in a 70% average rating after it was all said and done. But for me, the game was worth the $5 rental and then the full $40 price tag shortly after. Let's not jump the gun, people, and don't put too much faith in numerical ratings."

My original post does nothing but FAVORS positive reasoning for the ratings and enjoyment of Too Human. But I guess all of my posts must be exclusively "TOTALLY XBOX" for you to considered me a reasonable gamer. But not that your selective opinion matters much anyway. Troll??? Speak for yourself. Why would a troll ever downplay the single 6.75 rating and expresses that the gameplay to the individual player counts more than the numerical score unless I'm of the Xbox breed? Instead, maybe we should all take this single 6.75 score as gospel and move on. I don't think as such, and you call ME a troll? Sadness...

All your posts are mutually exclusive. You can get it right a thousand times and get it wrong once, and you've successfully trolled.

Your post earlier, directed at me, seemed to add nothing to the conversation. It was an accusation, that you didn't feel the need to explain. It could have and likely was founded from fanboyistic motivations.

We can't judge you on what you think. Good intentions don't matter. It's what you do that matters.

 

As for your assertion that I downplayed a 6.75 rating, I didn't. I said many times in this post that I do now, and always have thought the game will suck.

My only assertion on this topic, or at least my main one is that most knowledgable Xbox 360 owners, who followed the development and previews of the game, had a general idea that this game was not gonna rank AAA status from some reviewers.

 

Your original post has nothing to do with the trolling you did afterwards. Tell me, since you don't think making throw away passive-agressive comments without backup or reasoning after another posters long post that obviously took time for him to write, that also contains the assertion that said person is a fanboy and simply using "damage control" to downplay a game's review, classifies as trolling, then what exactly do you think trolling is?

 

You've made two very dire incorrect assertions here.

A. I never downplayed the score. In fact, I never commented on the score at all in the post you quoted. I simply said the game wasn't hyped and had poor previews. In another post I stated that I believe the game is probably not that great.

B. You assert that someone who trolls can't also make a regular post. I actually try to bait trolls into making posts with thought and reasoning behind them, because often the reason they troll is that they can't form a cohesive argument to experess their opinion. You made a regular post, yes, then you replied to my post with a troll.

Sounds like downplaying here. Nothing personal though.

Is trolling. Not to mention it's based on incorrect assumptions. At best, it's attempting to marginalize my post with fanboyistic motivations. At worst it's a meritless troll attempting to offend me.

If you're gonna be a real poster, you have to be a real poster all of the time. Not 99 percent of the time. Always.

You build a thousand bridges and kill one man, you're not a bridgebuilder, you're a murderer.

 

As for this particular game. It doesn't matter. This discussion ceased being about the game when you responded to my post with Sounds like downplaying here. Nothing personal though.

No matter how much you talk or reason your way into thinking that you were in the right to post that, you weren't. You can't change that. No amount of reasoning can change it.

 

To switch completely off topic for a second, I agree, numerical scores don't matter. However, from reading previews, I wouldn't rent this game if it had a 90 average.

Thanks for responding, btw.

 

Just face it, the guilty dog barks the loudest.



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

i will say this game sucks and game informer usually rates games higher then the game average look at resistance fall of man for a quick example.



After so many posts i can not understand the reason we disagree any more. Too Human is just a game not THE game and someone review it by giving a 6.75. SO WHAT?

I wondered how you were gonna try to save face. Did it ever occour to you to simply apologize?

 

Why don't you explain what I'm guilty of, if you wanna "take a stand" here and prove your ideology.

You're the first troll I've ever challenged who thought he could get froggy and defend his actions, realized he made a mistake in doing so, and then actually resorted back to trolling.

 

It ended well. Next time you fell like trolling someone, and you see my avatar, you'll know better.
