Topic: Too Human Trilogy: Exclusive for 360

The Commando is awesome, basically his melee weapons are useless. I was lucky enough to get this pair of pistols that was 3 (3+18%) and they were just ripping through everything lol.

Too Human sucks. It's been in development for like 15 years, and it's a piece of fucking ****. The graphics suck, the framerate sucks, the controls suck, the voice acting sucks. If you want a Hack n Slash RPG, you're way better off with Marvel Ultimate Alliance or something like that. I can't believe how disappointed I am with this game, and I can't believe it's made by the same company that created Eternal Darkness.

I disagree.

10 hours of play would make this a rental for me.  Which is a shame.  With how elaborate everthing seems 10 hours sound to me I be just getting up there and bam! games over.

Would you rent MGS4 as well? It only has 10 hrs (if that) of gameplay?

A little late to the party on answering this one.  Yes, I am renting MGS4 actually.  It will hopefully come after I'm done with Zack and Wiki, and Phantom Hourglass.

I can see how some will really like it, but after Eternal Darkness, I wasn't expecting Silicon Knights to make "Devil May Cry and Friends".

I had to try the demo twice. The first time I just couldn't get into it. The second time I think I 'got it' and I enjoyed it. Its like the Crackdown demo, where you can get moving on your stats fairly quickly, and just when you want to test the new stats you aquired the game ends. At least Crackdown let you run around for as long as you want.

And thats the thing about this demo, no going back through the doors. One machine beat the **** out of me and killed me. So I went through the other doors figuring I could go back and finish the job. Nope. No going back once you go through the door to the last section. I hope the real game isn't like that.

I'm curious about the timed rooms. How many seconds did you have left at the end? Did anyone fail the challenge? I didn't fail, though the first room I had 2 seconds left, while the next one I had 9.

All in all, I may buy the game. But we'll see. That Gears of War 2 special edition package is looking pretty sweet.

Reviews are in. Chance of it becoming an actual trilogy.... fading.

So now Too Human is no longer the Duke Nukem Forever of the console market, it's the Daikatana.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

These new industry developments are absolutely gripping.

Should I add Silicon Knights to those lists of developers that need Nintendo as their publisher to make good games?

[KDR_11k]

Double plus yes.

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a list of those that don't?  It'd be a lot smaller!

I don't think Miyapototo has the strength to upend anymore tea tables.

Daikatana, seriously? The game has been getting mixed reviews are averaging right around a 7/10, what i expected from the game.

[Halbred]

6.75 from Game Informer. Somehow, I'm not surprised. When a game has been in development since the Agracultural Revolution, I become suspicious.

Isn't that the same magazine that gave Paper Mario a 6/10 though?

Honestly the complaints/praises are what I expected after playing the demo, I personally found the IGN review to be the most in depth about the high and low points. I really do not think anyone expected the game to get a 9/10.

[Flames_of_chaos]

IGN - 7.8
1up - C- (in a 1up scale converted to a 1 - 10 scale that a 4.5)
giantbomb(jeff gerhstman's new site) 3/5
another magazine gave it a 4/5.

It's the same magazine that reviewed an E3 build of Eternal Darkness a year before the game came out. =D

Maybe they reviewed the PlayStation version of Too Human.

Yes and it's too bad.  You read interviews with SK and they seem like really ambitious guys with some good ideas.  But they're TOO ambitious.  They're not grounded in reality and need someone like Nintendo to keep them grounded.  I think if Nintendo was involved Too Human would have turned out better.  Same with Rare's output.

MS isn't a videogame powerhouse.  Sure they make a console and publish Halo but they don't have any real track record as a videogame company.  The quality of Microsoft published games is similar to Sony's: inconsistent.  So you take two companies that were capable of great things when under the wing of one of the greatest game developers in the world, move them to a mediocre publisher and they release mediocre games.  That's not a coincedence.

I wish SK and Rare were still with Nintendo, though the sad truth is Nintendo has changed enough that they probably wouldn't fit anymore.  I guess I wish the old Nintendo was making games with SK and Rare.  The present day casual focused Nintendo has little in common with either developer.

The whole thing feels like a great band broke up and everyone is doing a really crappy solo career.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Yeah Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, SSB: B, Zelda: TP, Wario Land all are so crappy.

1+ million pre-orders, or so I've read somewhere... even though this game has not been getting phenomenal reviews, its sales will save SK, and we will get a continuation of Too Human.

I will be picking up my copy tomorrow.

I think this will be a game that has some sizeable flaws but still develops a fanbase based on what it does well. Look at the demo, it was pretty much love it or hate it, personally I was MORE interested in the game after playing the demo.

[Flames_of_chaos]

I am somewhat interested in this game however I canceled the preorder since Tales of Vesperia and Infinite Undiscovery are on the way, I'll definitely pick it up when a price drop occurs. It's a shame that they couldn't work out a 4 player co-op both on and offline.

Also Toys R Us has it for 49.99 if you want to get it a little cheaper.
