It has bad reviews, but the demo is good. We will see how this affects sales.

Wow, you can see into the future ? Because I just saw one bad and one very good review. Nevertheless the second part of your first sentence is right.

This one is at least going to be the most controversial game of the generation probably... Huge costs... 10 years on multiple consoles to develop...

It will probably get quite a few low reviews... But there are a lot of people that like this sort of game too (Me being one of them)... So, we will wait and see...

I have it on pre-order and I am sure a lot of other people do to, so flop from a sales stand point, I doubt it... Flop from reviews stand point, quite possibly...

Silicon knights been working on Too human for a long time and game informer gave it a 6.75 and game informer usually grades above the Average game score so i want to hear your opinions.

 

Trusting Game Informer gives this thread zero credibility.

I don't think it'll be a AAA game, but I don't think it'll hit Lair bad. Maybe around Heavenly Sword level, but because it is silicon Knights it'll probably be better then that. 

I don't mean to offend anyone with comparisons to PS3 games, but Nintendo and Microsoft hasn't seen any high profile releases that have backfired as badly as those 2 did.

I don't think Too Human is going to be as bad as some expect but the demo doesn't exactly make me hopeful of it being much more than mediocre.

The demo is great...why would you see it as a negative?

This game won't flop. It may not get the best reviews in the world, but it is going to sell well. They'll get a million out the door pretty quick.

For all the Sony Fanboys who keep saying that this is the 360's Haze and that this game is crap, grow up. It is a new IP and offers a new take on controls in a hack-n-slash. Silicon Knights has gone a bit of a different direction for this game and people should hope that it succeeds, regardless of fanboy alignment. It encourages developers to step out on a limb every now and then. If they don't, it'll be GTA19, GT37, GOW9, and so on. I'll be quitting gaming for certain at that point.

huh?

 

 

Oh please, you're telling me that an average of nearly ALL gaming review sites is fair, no matter how biased they are towards a system?

Let's see:

Ninja Gaiden - Heavily marked down for not being a big leap from no.1 and somewhat cheap AI, despite most reviewers saying it has the best combat engine in the genre.

VS

Heavenly Sword - Marked down for being way too short (6-8 hours) and given marks up for being the only decent game PS3 saw for a while AND being a new IP.

Play both and come back and tell me that Heavenly Sword is as good as Ninja Gaiden II. Also, sales figures? pointless, one was released 3 months ago and the other a year ago. Also note one is now platinum which is $50 AU VS $119 RRP for the other ($79 if you bargain shop).

Also, I notice you didn't make any comparisons with Lair, then why bold it?

What about Ninja Gaiden 2? Lost Odyssey? Blue Dragon? Kameo? Tenchu Z? Ninety-Nine Nights?


How is Ninja Gaiden a flop, 83% average on Granks (which I don't trust by the way), and 660,000 copies in 3 months. LO and BD did their job by allowing MS to break into Japan. Kameo, is up for debate, but I don't recall HS and Lair levels of hype for that game. Tenchu Z and 99 Nights? Zero hype for both of those games, that's like you listing "carnival games" if that were a list of Wii games.

Did people forget the words "High Profile" releases?

Um, the first Ninja Gaiden was my favorite game of all time, but I liked Heavenly Sword better than NG2.  NG2 was one of my biggest let downs ever.

You state that the demo was great as if it were a fact, however I didn't find it to be all that good.

Too early to say let see what the sales numbers show.  Who cares what the reviews are a flop is something that dosent sell not something that dosent get good reviews



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

That is the good thing about opinions.  Everyone can have different ones.
