Forums - Microsoft - What do bad reviews for "Too Homan" mean for the Xbox 360?

nothing is gonna change, only fanboys will have a game to bash 360 with just like haze and lair, vampire rain and bomberman zero are too old now, fanboys probably forgot they exist now

What do bad reviews for "Too Homan" mean for the Xbox 360?

 

It means that we've found a bad egg that is probably only worth a rent for the 360. This game might sell while having a niche crowd. It's not like it will weaken the 360's holiday sales. It's one game which isn't a front running title.



Haze far more hyped than Too Human? I've been hearing about Too Human and how it was going to be yet another great game from Silicon Knights since 2005. It's been hyped about as much as Halo 3 over the years. So the fact that Ninja Gaiden II and Too Human have both turned out to be disappointments and that the 360 hasn't had a AAA title since Mass Effect ( which in its own way was a bit of a critical disappointment) is a shocking development.   However, Gears of War 2 will be a game that does live up to its hype and will receive AAA review scores from most publications.



My most anticipated games:  Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort.  Cave Story Wiiware.

You know when I think about it the AAA pickings thus far this year have been surprisingly slim. I can only think of three off of the top of my head. Grand Theft Auto, Brawl, and Metal Gear. Just three titles in the last eight months. Though the 360 has more then made up for its lack on one exclusive AAA title with the fact that it brought in a couple good mid range titles in Lost Odyssey, and Ninja Gaiden.

Anyway I think people are going to be shocked when this title develops a cult following. This game is going to appeal to a lot of players that thirst for something with serious depth. Not just a empty facade, but a game with actual character building.



@Dodece, I can think of more than 3 but I know what you mean.

You have two console where it costs too much, and one where people buy other types of games. On top of that you have a "been there done that" attitude of gamers and reviewers.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Another one of these threads, huh? The July NPD numbers meant the end for the 360, so a bad game does too, right?

Sarcasm aside, I think Too Human is one of the weirdest situations I've seen in a long time. I have never seen a game where people are trying SO HARD to like it. Even I got sucked into it. I downloaded the demo, and at first glance it seems like an awesome game. The cut scenes look gorgeous, the combat is cool, and the all around vibe of the game is good. Then I tried actually playing the game and I just couldn't wrap my head around it. The controls were maddening. I always think the mark of good controls is when I forget all about the controller and I'm not thinking "X does this and Y does this". If a game has truly good controls, you can probably get to that point within a half hour of playing. I played all the way through the Too Human demo and I don't feel like I ever got the hang of it.

People wanted so much for this game to be good. I probably wasn't going to buy it either way, but I found myself rooting for it too. And I still don't even fully understand why.




xbox359, i don't get it. It's one game.

I meant my 360 ;)

Too human was the only release on the 360 radar that A) seemed any good and B) wasn't coming to the PC in a superior version soon after release.

 

A) Sorry you didn't realize sooner, when all the bad press for the game started.

B) Enjoy Gears 2 next year.

LMAO @ B

 



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Nothing much. The 360 was never dependant upon Too Human and new quality games are only a few months away.
