The game got a "C-" on 1UP, and people that have played the demo here have been displeased with the combat.

This, of course, after Dyack said the following at NeoGAF:



[quote]"I think it is time to draw the digital line. Too Human will be out in August and I think there is going to be a lot of trolls crying here. Either way when the game comes out this forum will likely be on fire. So in order to try to put it out some gasoline on this fire I will ask those interested to stand up and be counted.

"I feel Too Human is a great game, likely to be better than most that will come out this year. I certainly feel it is the best game we have ever made. I also believe the press and gamers alike will believe this. This puts me in the 'For' camp.

"I know there are many who feel strongly in opposite camp. I also would ask you to stand up and say 'Against'.

"When the game is released and everyone plays game all the speculation will be over. If I am wrong and gamers in general think the game is 'crap' then I am comfortable with getting tagged "Owned by the GAF".

"However, if I am right and it is received well, I would like to see those 'Against' to be tagged with 'Owned by Too Human'.

"I would like to make a honorary invitation to EvilLore and Duckroll who help fuel the fire on a regular basis -- assuming you both would be 'Against'. In the end though, it is your decision and I want to remind everyone that I have an advantage of actually playing the game.

"I invite anyone who seeing someone trolling Too Human in other threads to point them here.

"So it's time to be stand and be counted:
"Denis Dyack -- 'For'"


Hopefully, somehow, the studio can return to an Eternal Darkness sequel, or something... lest their town becomes engulfed in flames and all.

I think Too Human will do rather well.

Vamp will live to be grim for another day.

I feel sorry for that town, any chance on a good developer being shipped there to take over the revitalisation?

I found the demo incredibly boring. I could literally look away from the screen while holding a direction, and still come out victorious, even against the mini-boss. Not to mention the horrible story premise.

I hated the control scheme and thus didn't play much of the demo. I was actually kind of excited for the game before playing it.

I liked the demo well enough. The combat took some getting used to, and the targeting should have been better, but overall it was a satisfying experience and I could tell that the production values were through the roof. My sister is in love with the game (but she loves anything Attack of the Show tells her to love), and she'll be picking it up tomorrow. I'll wait until it's $40, myself.

Yeah I played the demo. I didn't really like it, so I have no plans to purchase or rent.

Haze'd.

At least the hype will sell it for a while.

Yeah, I saw that review. That's...really bad. IGN liked it well enough, at least. It's not getting even close to the epic scores that Dyack was going for, though. Should'a stuck with Nintendo, SK. You wouldn't have had supreme graphical power, but you'd have had a better chance at getting a return on your investment.

MIND = BLOWN

I drive by there every day. Had no idea that's where the office was located. Gonna drop in tomorrow and be like "THANKS FOR DOOMING US"

Though I read in our paper that Dalton McGuinty (Ontario's Premier) dropped in around the time the disc when gold and was all "VIDEO GAMES? HAHAHA, DOODADS FOR CHILDREN" way to prove him right, dyack



Posted by Speedfreak

What the hell is a Premier? Is that like a mayor or governor?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Governor of a state basically. Except we call them Premiers. You know, like Presidents and Prime Ministers.

Got to play a bit past the point that the demo ends today. Really the only things I'd change about the game so far is to allow Main Character to use his Mighty Roller Skates of Remarkable Quickness that he uses in melee combat to get around the humongous environments, and the fact that clicking the right analog stick centers the camera on his head, blotting out all other scenery.
