"That is low. I find it funny how when Lair and Haze got bad reviews, it's OK because it's a PS3 game so the reviewer isn't wrong the game is just bad, yet when it's a hyped up 360 game, if it gets a low grade, the reviewer is wrong/biased/horrible at his job and should lose his job. Don't get me started on what it would be like for a hyped up Nintendo game..."

I couldn't have said it better myself. Funny ain't it?

The reason a lot of people are shocked is because they've already gone through the demo and liked it. This questioning isn't taken out of thin air. The demo sure didn't feel like some 6.75 game, so unless it takes a big turn for the worse somewhere else in the game, there is a chance this review isn't accurate to what the majority will think of the game. Pichu just said higher up in the thread that they gave Elite Beat Agents a 6.75 also, and that right there is absolute blasphemy.

With Haze and Lair, PS3 owners came into this thread to confirm the game was garbage, so it wasn't pulled out of thin air then either.

Please close this tread the game is coming only on august 19th , i cant belive that score. :(

 

Not sure why, the demo was bad. People just wanted to like the game so they glossed over all the problems with it.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

What if you put that demo on a loop, and the game was basically that demo played though 10 times?

I hear the major knock on this game, is repetition. It's hard to get a feel for how bad that is in a demo.

Look, Final Fantasy XII got a metascore of 92 and it was definitely the most repetitive game of all time. I still played the heck out of it though!

 



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Maybe you should have read the rest of the paragraph I wrote.

"The demo sure didn't feel like some 6.75 game, so unless it takes a big turn for the worse somewhere else in the game, there is a chance this review isn't accurate to what the majority will think of the game."

That basically says the demo might not be representative of the full game. Also do note, we have another reviewer with a 93 rating for Too Human. So obviously these reviewers are seeing two different games and this also plays into why some are questioning Game Informer.

Haze got a 90 from famitsu before release and look where that ended up. Also, that review was from a less than credible source.

Ouch. From the demo I played I wouldn't have expected anyone to give the game less than an 8 or so... Very enjoyable demo...

Very low! I expected it higher.

Very, very low score for all the hype,

You're talking about a Japanese magazine reviewing a first person shooter, where normally this same magazine is giving almost perfect scores to Dynasty Warriors and Gundam games.

I also realize that the other review may not be the most credible. I was just trying to put into perspective why this situation is not like the Lair and Haze situations. Nobody had played those games before the reviews came out. People, including myself, have played a demo of Too Human and liked what we played thus far. IGN has a whole Launch Center for Too Human, which isn't given to many games, let alone shitty ones. All I'm saying is, maybe it's too early to call it a 6.75 just because Game Informer, another less than credible source, says it is.It was also noted they gave Elite Beat Agents the same score, and most would agree that played it, that the score was WAY off.
