[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"] Not many games like Too Human out there these days. VandalvideoThere aren't really any games out there like Too Human these days. Especially on consoles. Its a game that, for people who like that type of game, is like a godsend, even with the issues it does have. Which is probably why it has such an emphatic fan base.
Exactly. Although I hate the camera, I find myself oddly addicted to the game.Especially since I got really good at juggling and using the finishers..The combat is pretty awesome if you understand it's nuances.
But the camera is ass...I don't care which one you use.
People were bashing Too Human way before the demo simply because they didn't find it appealing and/or because of their personal stance on Denis Dyack.I think after the demo people realized that too human wasn't going to be good same with haze.

Do people really still go by the "only gamepost reviews count" rule? When sites like metacritic and gamerankings exist, what is your rational to basing EVERYTHING on the opinion of a single person?

Hey... I'm not the one who came up with the rules around here,if you don't like it then leave,no one is forcing you to stay here.
Overtime Haze hype died down though.Here's what really happenned (from someone who was actually there/not using alt account)1. Haze went PS3 exclusive - Hermits and Lemmings abandone hype.
2. The Devs kept showing that one forest level in every video.
3. Haze gets delayed - Hype is low
4. Haze Demo releases - People are disgusted
Final Hype - AA
Too Human on the other didn't go down easy if you recall.

Overtime Haze hype died down though.
1. Haze went PS3 exclusive - Hermits and Lemmings abandone hype. Cows hype Haze through the roof.
2. The Devs kept showing that one forest level in every video. Everyone asks what the big deal is. Cows hype Haze through the roof.
3. Haze gets delayed - Hype is low, game starts to look like a mess waiting to happen. Cows hype Haze AAA in all their hype threads.
5. In official hype thread cows hype Haze "safe" AA, but in the lists outside of hype thread still mainly appears as AAA.
4. Haze Demo releases - People are disgusted - cows denied it has ever been hyped, people point to official hype thread.
Final Hype - AA
Why don't we wait til R2 or LBP comes out and see their scores shall we? Ok then.hopesfall2own

So lair gets good previews and turns out bad therefore the same thing will happen to LBP
Thats a fallacious argument

o ok
but still i doubt resistance will be somehow 10 times worse then the original. and lbp looks like its going to get a good review here since it looks like gamespot likes the game.
but ya i know what u mean

nice try, but for a game to flop on GS it had to have been hyped. the lack of a real hype thread means you're also going against the rules with your declaration of FOTY :)
it just did poorly, no hype = no flop.
People lost interest in Too Human after the ordeal with Epic, even after the 6+ month delay of Haze Cows where still hyping Haze.
As for myself I'm gonna try Too Human out for myself when I get a 360 in Sept since it sounded like the GS reviewer sucked at the game.
Definitely try the demo before you buy. It's not for everyone but if you enjoy the demo then you'll have fun with the full game. Also depends on how much you love collecting loot as that plays a huge part in the overall experience.People lost interest in Too Human after the ordeal with Epic, even after the 6+ month delay of Haze Cows where still hyping Haze.

Nah, thats too extreme. After Haze got delayed, the hyped went down to AA by die hard cows, PS3 owners forgot about it. You over did it my friend.Anyway, Too Human is the bigger flop. That's the point. It had more lying on it as one of the 360's "big" exclusives for '08.

I even remember people getting really pissed at cows because they started underhyping EVERYTHING just to be safe because all of their most wanted games were flopping all over the place. Lair, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, yada, yada....No he didn't, he's telling the truth.I remember that also.Nah, thats too extreme. After Haze got delayed, the hyped went down to AA by die hard cows, PS3 owners forgot about it. You over did it my friend.

Yes. I remember it as well. It went pretty much exactly as he described it. Cows started underhyping their games like crazy to avoid ownage, but outside of the official hype threads they were still hyping Haze like mad.

Like mad? See thats where I can't believe cuz when I joined GS nobody was hyping Haze. It was all about COD4 or Uncharted. That goes both ways even at that.Too Human went from AAA to AA as well as Haze but with Haze when the demo it was dismissed as crap UNIVERSALY. As for Too Human, even after lackluster reviews on the net AND on the same day before its review came out it STILL had hype and there's proof. Those who hyped it can tell you. They are here. Some even left Gamespot because Too HUman flopped, who left for Haze? lol

i wouldn't worry too much about what Gun_Haze claims, he's been challenged here numerous times and usually resorts to insults before actually backing up his assertion with links and credible facts ;) prove me wrong Gun_Haze, prove me wrong :)

In fact the only game cows ever owned up to hyping is MGS4.
I wonder why.

I say AAA even possibly a 9.5 on Gamespot. I have great faith in Silicon Knights. On Gamerankings it will be around 9,2 when most sites have said their piece..
GI magazine gave it a 9.75, but their scores are usually higher than GS's. I'd still say 9.5 here, but you don't know just how a review is going to turn out here.Mordred19
8.5 an excellent score for a sure to be excellent gameAwinagainov

Yeah Haze was bad, and that Pic comparsion by PSU was worse but by the time the demo hit, almost all jumped off what hype was left, But with Too Human despite the demo, there were many saying it was good and it was gonna own all the haters!!1
There were no threads from anybody like that about Haze post-demo. Just that one who was saying he would castrate himself if Haze scored less then a 10 but I'm pretty sure he was joking.
It's a mediocre action game but it'll be remembered for a long time to come for a few reasons most notably
1. Denis Dyack's self destruction and the damage control from him and his little hangers on (see the official thread). Denis Dyack going on Neogaf and making himself into a laughing stock then subsequently getting banned for bashing the forum in interview was absolutely hilarious. The pre-emptive damage control and insane ramblings from his most devoted fans were just sad.
2. 10 years of development with nothing good to show for it. This game has been in development for a long assed time and it still a broken mess. During that time Denis Dyack has brought a lawsuit against Epic for his own incompetence and hyped up the game to astronomical levels. He's even managed to trick a few first year philosophy students into believeing his hyperbole (again see the official thread)

No, what's sad is that you seem to be completely incapable of participating in a debate without insulting those who disagree with you. Ad hominem filled arguments are considered a logical fallacy, you know.

I'm just pointing what too human will be remembered for
which like I said, won't be the mediocre gameplay
Many lems here before this included TOO HUMAN as one of the awesome 2008 360 lineups :lol::lol::lol::lol:
[QUOTE="xscrapzx"]Its funny that I see these threads. I'm going to be honest I thought it was going to atleast get into the 6's I never thought it was going to do that bad, but bad none the less. I don't understand though, so many think the lems hyped this thing up to be the next best thing since sliced bread, when most were saying its not going to review well and its a love or hate game.3picuri3
they didn't though, lol, use search feature to find Too Human Hype threads. there might have been one or two vocal lemmings pumping it up, but there's no evidence for what you're referring to ;)
I think you misunderstood me, I'm agreeing with you, I don't recall anybody really hyping this game to high heavens, maybe a few here and there just being foolish. All in all I dont remember anybody saying ooooh yeaaaa Too Human 10 all the way!!!!
same goes for cows and Haze .....Many lems here before this included TOO HUMAN as one of the awesome 2008 360 lineups :lol::lol::lol::lol:
Foxhound_spy
what are you talking about most people knew too human would do most cows hyped haze untill the demo came outcoolnessmancool
i think it's safe to say everyone but the most hardcore cows and timesplitters fans stopped hyping this game after the demo. if you can find proof otherwise, so be it.
same thing happened with too human, after the demo almost everyone besides the most hardcore, such as pwninator, stopped hyping it because of how much rubbish the demo was.
