Too Human... No Way.

They didn't justify the 5.5 at all. They listed 3-4 minor flaws that we all knew it had, but it was seriously too harsh in the scoring. They also said that norse mythology is weak storytelling. Whatever though, it's still going to sell a ton.hopesfall2own

That has been done before by other sites. IGN did the same thing with Alone in the Dark. You're right though, Too Human will sell a ****load of copies

Read the IGN reviews, they actually don't seem to be written by my 3 year old cousin, I wish I could say that much about the GS review, which seems to have been written by Forest Gump or Simple Jack (for those of you who have already seen Tropic Thunder).McNulty5

Say what you will about Simple Jack, but Forrest Gump is a genius and an icon.:|

Too Human got a 5.5 recently from Gamespot. And as we all know, anything below a 7.5 is forgettable. I mean there is very few games under a 7.5 from Gamespot that I still like. (For instance, Army Of Two)... Now, I was excited for Too Human until I played the demo. I hated the demo. I was going to get this game, but too many signs point to no. Who's still getting Too Human?RD1109

anything below a 7.5 is forgetable? geez...

I'm buying Too Human. I buy games based on how much I like them, not based on how much other people like them.

If you don't like the game, fine, don't get it....but quit being sheep and buying games based only on the kind of reviews it gets.

high five. totally agree, don't base your whole opinion from reviews, because afterall, reviews are opinions as well. trust your instincts.

A 5.5 might seem a bit harsh, but hey, it's not like we were expecting a 9 game from Silicon Knights ;)OpperMeneer

???

Silicon Knights made the acclaimed Eternal Darkness, which got a 9.2 here and a 9.6 on IGN. For that reason, I was hoping to see great things from this game...

Ouch 5.5 seems a bit harsh

Considering how easily review sites seem to give away 9s in recent months, to give out a 5.5 is either a sign the game is critically flawed, or they are trying to balance the reviews they are giving to show they don't always give out top grades.

I don't give a flying **** about reviews im 1000% for this gameDuel_King_X

Here's the thing, this is obviously a game for some and not for others. GamePro gave it a 4/5 (or 8/10) after all.

If you score like gymnastics, take away the lowest (GameSpot) and highest (GamePro) scores and average the rest, based on the websites they show in critic scores anyway, you'll get 7.15. Worth a rent.

Yes, 6 is "fair". 5 is "mediocre". So what is 5.5? Mediocrely fair?

IGN gave it a 7.8 which seemed fair

100% agree. I liked the demo and i pre-ordered the game based on how much fun i had with it. I'm sure not going to take some guy on Gamespots word for it. I don't even think those guys are gamers. It's like asking my mom for a review.

Well looky here - Too Human actually did flop!

I guess I wasn't so far off last week, eh?

Many T_T's.

And for those of you STILL beefing it, saying "no one is your daddy, you have your own mind, reviews don't matter" please, please tell me why you participate in a game REVIEWing website, surrounded by people who review games on their own?

By actively denying reviews constantly, you are actually telling people like Silicon Knights they can make a crap game, but spew Diablo-esque referances to gameplay during development and still make tons of money - because no one controls you!

What rebels! :)

It flopped? When did that happen? I thought it came out today? OHHHHHHHH you mean because Kevin VanOrd gave it a 5.5!!! I missed the meeting where it was decided he was the god of gaming and would determine the success of all games... I was sick that day. I was still under the assumption that ppl had free reign to make up their own minds and think for themselves... silly me.

Every intelligent post about this game (even the haters) have stated this is a "Love or Hate" kind of game, just because the GS guy that reviewed it was in the "Hate" category, doesn't make it a flop... just like if the guy in the next cubicle gave it a 9, that wouldn't make it a "Must buy classic".

The success of this game wont be known for a few months and even if thats overwhelmingly positive or negative... what does it matter for the people that like it and play it?
