didn't like the demo...everything was great except the combat gameplay...

2008-07-16 17:03:43

Sadly, the demo shows the game to be just as pathetic and uninspired as I feared it would be. Too Human is a waste of time and money. A steaming pile of cliche piled on top of laughable writing. This game represents everything that is wrong with the current state of game development.

That said, I'm glad some people are having fun with it.

I liked everything except the melee combat. I think having the right analog stick for the attacks was a very bad idea indeed, because it felt really unresponsive and clunky.

Still, loot never gets old and my Commando guy who I unlocked through some cheat/glitch looked proper cool at the end.

The shooting combat is pretty bad too. As it's already been mentioned, Baldur will occasionally stop locking onto enemies and will even aim in the completely opposite direction.

I dunno...it seems that since melee and shooting combat are the two biggest parts of the gameplay that they would have made them...good..?

I've been playing this game in 1024x768 (4:3) resolution and 480p resolution (852x480), and it's so weird. The game forces 16:9 in 4:3 mode, but it looks so insanely much more crappier in 1024x768 than in 480p. I don't know if it's the same in all 4:3 resolutions (480i, 1280x1024), or if it's just in a certain resolution (á la Monster Jam). The aliasing seems to be all over the place.

nyway, it's worth mentioning if anyone out there has been playing it in 4:3 (on a PC monitor) and thought it looked bad.
Games forcing 16:9 in 4:3 usually doesn't look bad, so I don't get this.

I was soo pumped for Too Human when I first heard about it. Playing the demo left me underwelmed. For the production cost that MS put into this game I would expect much better. The animations needs work, the combat needs work, framerate is inconsistant. The game isn't terrible but it's not nearly as hot as Denis dyack and silicon Knights praised it to be. They should really delay this game and work on it more.

2008-07-16 20:08:40

yea the cutscenes were laughable. i couldnt take any of the dialogue seriously. and the camera controls were TERRIBLE. fact

2008-07-16 20:12:49

Omg, how did I forget that? The camera was the worst part along with the melee combat. Why try to be innovative with this automatic camera system when using the right analog stick to control the camera works so much better? There's a reason why most games use that camera system - because it works.

Okay I have played ALL the classes and Champion and Berserker is awesome (I like Champion more).

I choose my camera manually between exploring and going to combat, and for combat I use "Iso" for wide scale to see where everyone is, and Standard or stradegic for running around.

The combat, well I like the control scheme, because hordes of enemies coming at you and you need to keep pressing different buttons is gonna be annoying, a break from DMC and NG is good.
Besides, I like to dash and slide all over the place and just take them out very fast.

Animation, needed alot of work, but with all the sliding and stuff I barely care for it considering I want my combo meter up and running.

Dialogue, well, it's better than Haze thats for sure.
I honestly thought it would be much better than this considering they keep saying its like LOTR...etc. but I think I can manage it with the cutscenes I have seen.

The customization is just pure awesome!
I love how deep you can customize your weapons to armor to upgrades to skill, loving it, simple as that.
But the demo was limited and as soon as you jakc up your character and finally see the good stuff, its over, so they won't allow you to feel like a "god" with those Sentinent power ups, those would be very cool.

Anyways, I am gonna buy it, and will see how me and money is gonna work out for me to invest for XBL. I will probably go for a 1 year Gold account for online co-op with some friends would be nice.

Played the demo twice hated it twice uninstalled will not buy the final game.

2008-07-16 21:31:27

i had fun playing it... the soundtrack is brilliant, the environment could look better but was good for a demo, the only thing i hated but then appreciated later on as how it factors the difficulty was the battle system. it takes quick reflexes and patience, and i began to love it once i got the hang of it. this game is awesome. i will be buying this game, but when i first saw the very first trailer i knew this was gonna happen.

Definatly wasnt the car crash i was expecting.. but then i came into it with such low expectations.

First thing that you have to get your head around is the fact that you cant control the camera..years of having your brain tell the right thumb stick to move the camera around..only to actually leave your character swinging his sword wildly is off putting at first.

Give it a minute though and you soon get used to it, select a nice near view and the game is actually rather pretty. And i gotta admit, once i was in combat and had countless robots attacking me it was pretty damn fun and looked great.

I think it will be one of two things.. it will become a real grower and cult hit (like eternal darkness was) if the skill tree's as deep as i hope and has noticable upgrades to you throughout. Or it will become repetitive and boring long before the end.

Not a release day purchase, but after playing the demo its definatly not the 360's haze/lair that i feared it would be.
