i been gettin alot of stick from posters about my 'Xblox £3.60' comment... and thats cool. It's a little unfair to undermine a powerhouse of a console esp. on the merit of single title.
But, I do have a question.. what the hell else is coming over the horizon?!? 2009 will be a pivotal year for the console.. All you 360 punks will realise your console was a poor investment, and MS never intended it to last into the next decade. So in a nut. it's brown pants. :) |

Jeez - another tard that thinks the PS3 is suddenly going to become a wondermachine overnight,a nd the 360 will suddenly die despite it's massive gaming audience.
It's MAKING MONEY for both DEVELOPERS and M$. While this continues to happen, they'll continue to make games for it. Games that keep turning out better on the 360. I personally can't wait until the decent games like God Of War III and Shadow of the / ICO 3 appear on the PS3... ...then I'll consider buying one... /waits... |

That last three years of solid gaming really has been a poor investment in my time.
Actually, why'd I bother buying a games machine? I could've saved that money and spent it on ho's. Fuck this for a lark! |

''But, I do have a question.. what the hell else is coming over the horizon?!?''
I could mention Fable 2, Gears, Vesperia, a Naruto game that's actually a decent one, and the like, but sometimes i do wish MS would show off CG trailers of a bunch of games that i can hype up on forums for years instead of always actually bringing the things out, it'd mean i owned a shit console, but at least i could say 'OMG Killzone2 is going to be amazing' if i could do that from lets say E3 06 and still bang on about it now, instead of playing Gears 1 & 2, it'd be handy for dealing with cockfaces on the internet wait what am i saying.. |

I like how it's not possible to defend your own console from morons without beocming the idiot and attacking the "opposition".
Seriously. |

@Jedi
it's sad, but quite a natural human response, deep down everyone knows gaming is great and games consoles, even the ones they may decide to call rubbish, are great but if an Orange seller goes to a thread about Apples (stay with me here there will be a point somewhere), and starts dissing Apples, then the Orange seller is probably going to turn round and say 'actually Oranges are great, much better than your shitty Apples' the reality is both Oranges and Apples are incredibly tasty fruits which is where we come to the crux of the matter, in that case the Apple salesman is the cheif wanker, as he's come out with some ridiculous claim about Apples, and said nasty things about Oranges, the Orange man is bound to say things he doesn't really mean about Apples then, he's defending his sweet segments of joy...so if you throw the first stone you are the biggest cock on the planet....in this threads case that honour goes to...(checks) ' blig_merk 19-Aug-08 14:04:57As bad as Haze then.ignore poster' though Gamzino has managed to take it up a notch in later rounds, he gets a special commendation for twattery, and in the words of Tod Hollenshead 'no credibility'

I like gamzino's spunk, he's a fanboy and he knows it. That sort of honesty is so refreshing.

Lets not be having a juice based argument now, it'll only end in tropical fruit, and as everyone knows, that's just for kiddies
... tell you what though, that Tropicana man, he's been shifting a lot of cartons :O) PEACE AND LOVE, HARRY KRISHNA |

@gamzino Where have you been? My 360 has already paid me back my investment...years ago. Since 2006, I've enjoyed at least 30 quality games. I've been hearing this sad story from muppets like you since 2005. When will it end? |

@Octopus
Just because 5/10 is the midpoint doen't mean it's average. Would a reviewer ever score a 0/10? I've never seen one or heard of one so, taking your 'mathematical' way of working, 5.5/10 would be average as the lowest score is 1/10. Also, an average score for a game would be an average of every game ever rated. 5/10 (or 5.5/10 depending which way you view it) is the median, or the average of the rating scale, in terms of numbers but not quality.

I'm sort of in the mood for this kinda game as I've recently been on a Diablo-esq kick.
Well I say 'Diablo-esq', I played a bit of Diablo 2 but found it to be slightly 'ehhh' for my tastes. Not that I think its a bad game, but the mouse-driven controls just didnt sit well with me - so I tracked down a copy of Dark Alliance 2 instead and started re-playing that, and I also bought Alien Shooter 2 which is just pure awesome carnage (and runs fine on my massively outdated PC). So hmmmmm. Too Human then? Might still get it, provided AS2 and DA2 havent provided me with all the mindless action and stat-building before it comes out. Part of me just wants to buy it out of sympathy as Dyack has clearly put himself through a lot (most of it his own fault, but still..) for this game. |

@Kill_Crazy - point well made. I agree.
Anyway, it all goes to show what a stupid system a points score is, especially when every reviewer has their own idea of what the points score is. It's not like the Olympics where there is at least a marking scheme of sorts across all reviewers. In summary, if you liked the demo and always wished for "sci-fi Diablo" you'll probably like the game. If you didn't like the demo (or Diablo) you almost certainly won't like the game. Who cares that an arbitrary person on an arbitrary forum gave it a number value between 1 and 10? Shocking news: It only matters if you like it. |

in that case the Apple salesman is the cheif wanker, as he's come out with some ridiculous claim about Apples, and said nasty things about Oranges, the Orange man is bound to say things he doesn't really mean about Apples then
The Orange man is probably just bitter than the Apple man's phone is exclusive to O2. |

tbh i thought the demo was a bit poo.
really didn't like the combat / camera controls etc (the review was pretty much spot on with my limited exposure through the demo). |

It's exactly like the Olympics, how many gymnasts get scored less than 5/6, let alone 4? |

It's a shame they couldn't get this right. I guess I saw it coming though, after playing the demo. Until Sacred 2, I will stick to Mass Effect...

Oh well.. Cancelled my pre-order. Reviews are all over the place.
I usually do prefer EG's more critical reviews over many of the other sites, but still, they gave Halo 3 a 10. And I have never played a more repeatative, stale and uninspiring shooter than Halo 3. So I can nothing but suspect foul play, just as MGS4 scored 10's across the board (on a 0.0-10.0 scale even) in many reviews. I just don't trust review journalists or sites anymore.. But yeah, I'm gonna try this out before buying. |

it does say underneath one of the screenshots that they didnt have a chance to play online and add an extra point to the score.
That would be your missing point people. 7/10 if you play online /confusion over. EDIT: sorry if this has already been pointed out. Thats what you get for joining the party late! ;)

The reviewer has perfectly justified his criticisms, and that's not one of them.

"no offence but i bet you played with your wiener, whats the point? "
My point is that people play average (or shit) games and still like them. He doesn't get what people see in it but the same could be said from those games. The only thing to get is that it is in the eye of the beholder. "@Xerx3s - 1st of all, I have played both Resistance and Killzone, I have no clue what that has to do with this game. Also, I really liked Resistance as did most people who played it, and Killzone was merely a good but flawed game. Again, what does it have to do with this? " You just underlined my point. I too played both and resistance imo is a 6 at best - it's not bad but for the rest not very good - and calling killzone good is taking the piss. Liberation was entertaining but killzone itself was just a horror. With questionable games like these, some people are more willing than others to look beyond critical failures. That's what they see in them.

Somewhat off topic.
Someone here referred to Blig_Merk's post on this thread. I was going to read it for possible comic value/to torture myself, but it appears to be gone. After further inspection so are the rest of his posts elsewhere. I don't remember putting him on ignore, so what happened. Was it all just a bad dream?

They always justify it. Like with Viking. Most of the time it's, "uhh, what?" to them. |

I just here to paste what I wrote in the comments of a previous Too Human story.
'The camera was uncooperative and movement clunky. If there was any strategy to the combat then it was unecessary, since button mashing worked fine. In fact, the phrase 'button mashing' is not accurate, 'stick waggling' better describes my experience and is also much funnier. That was my experience of the Too Human demo, waggling my stick until there were no more enemies left in the room; worse, I couldn't even see the enemies I was waggling my stick at most of the time, though that seemed to matter little to the end result. The big surprise for me was the poor graphics, from a developer who usually excels on that front; there were some ugly and washed out textures, awkward animations, and dodgy character models. That said, the atrocious dialogue stole the show with a terrible script and poorly delivered lines. Silicon Knights may have a reputation for weaving a good tale or two, but from that demo it doesn't show in the slightest, what there was came across as ametuer and pretentious.' A prescient summary of the review.

I really hope they go with a more standard control scheme, more like eg. the NG and DMC games, for the sequels. They deserve creds for trying out something new, but this was really poor in comparison.
And I will assume the sequels will get a lot more polish than this. Maybe the Unreal business hurt them more than I first thought... |

Great game.
I think if Dyack had rephrased "They just don't get it" to "they just dont like this kind of game" he would have hit the nail on the head. Superb 8/10 |
