Considering the recent drought of games on the 360, I'm still buying it.

 

why? why would you want to encourage developers to make lackbuster games with HUGE budgets??

What is lackbuster?

 

Halfway between lackluster and a blockbuster.

 

LOL.  Makes sense in this case.

Well all Games can't be great but 360 Gamers have a lot of other Quality Titles to look foward to. * Looks Jealously at Fable 2 :/ *

I predicted the game would settle in the 70-80 range on Metacritic about a year ago.

I wasn't expecting it to recieve some truly awful scores though. Especially considering the game probably had a pretty big budget and given the devs previous track history.

I suppose the Lair and Haze fiascos have truly taught us some things about the gaming industy: even a reputable studio with a strong publisher can produce a shambles of a game.

Did someone mention Haze?

 

Oh well, I knew this game would turn out like Haze...So much hype.

There are further idiosyncrasies to note, including awkward camera angles and the occasional glitch (for example, doors that won't open when you approach them, but open if you leave and return). These and other issues don't make Too Human a bad game, but they make it a disappointing one that revs its engine only to come to a screeching halt moments later. When that engine kicks into full gear, the slicing and dicing can be surprisingly enjoyable. Sadly, these moments are too few and far between, making Too Human stand out as a perfect example of awesome but unrealized potential.

that line bugs me when you consider the score they gave.  reviews shouldn't be influenced by the hype around it.

 

I think it means that with a little of tuning, the game could have been good, that the concept is good but the flaws bring it down, thus making it disappointing

Anyone still defending the game now?

Too Crap is a no-brainer for a no-buy!

Another Haze...

Anyway, Xbox 360 owners, just be patient, we will get Fable 2 that looks awesome this Christmas.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

Well wheres the balance in the universe if Too Human didn't get Haze like reviews?

LAIR's revenge for all the BULL-FUCKING-SHIT that the ps3 and fans endured last year.

The game has been in development forTEN YEARS on THREE different console spanning THREE generations. this game was destined to be garbage nothing left to do but watch the damage control and the sales.

Still unlike merciless 360 fans last year I still think the 360 is a quality system wiht an excellent library of gmaes and a release list that make me as a PSWii owner wet my pant in envy.

Let this be a lesson to everyone the Hype train derails sometime, Payback is a Bitch and Tela Tequila is a living spawn of Genital Herpes!

Good night and Gooday
