:lol god I love this forum sometimes.
Wow. You are that bothered by GAF's reaction? You do realize that plenty of games/developers get flamed here as well, right?
This bet makes no sense. Who defines how Too Human turns out? It's already established fanbase that would think the same of it no matter what? Those who have trolled the game that would think the same of it no matter what? NPD results? Gaming critics? Me? You?
How about we just let things go as they may and not have this thread?

Bingo, there are those who have said that it would be the 360 equivalent to Haze or Lair. Those are games that were NOT well received.

What the heck, I guess that I'm a for even with just two players. There are not exactly a plethora of co-op non-FPS games right now.
-player co-op? Please?

Put me in the "Keeping an open mind" camp, but I played it at the last Microsoft event and had a good time, so.

I find it equally funny with all this ''I am for''. Just gives me flashes of some spoofy cliche teen movie where everyone stands up against the school bitches that told you your clothes are crappy. Anyway on a lighter note I wonder what Jade Raymond thinks about Too Human, that might decide the game's fate.
Denis, as a fellow Canadian/Ontarian I am saying you better damn well deliver after all these dramatics because the honour of our soil is on the bloody line.
I'm For! Partially because it's looking like it will be fun and partially out of national support and pride.
Seriously dude, I'm either driving up up to St. Catherines for you to sign my copy or else I'm driving up there for an apology.
And apology beer: the bitterist beer of all.

I'm glad that you feel Too Human is a great game, seeing how you're the one making it, if you thought it wasn't a great game that would be worrying. It's great that you feel it's the best game you've never made too, but that really means nothing to me. None of that really translates into why the game is great or how the game is great. Your job is to convince other people that the game is worth buying, not convince yourself.
That's a pretty shallow and unfair bet there. I mean, what rules would we be using? Who are "gamers in general" and what benchmark determines if a game is "crap" or "received well"? Furthermore, this seem unfair as you don't really post much on the forum at all. If the game fails, it is likely that you would not post ever again here. What good would a tag do in that case?

Denis,
Every game of yours that I have played (Eternal Darkness, MGS:TTS, and I dabbled in LoK: Blood Omen) I have throughly enjoyed. You get a lot of shit for seemingly no reason (GAF is upset that you have the motivation and follow-thru to lose a ton of weigh, no doubt). I am throughly looking forward to Too Human, even if it does only have 2-player co-op.
StrikerObi - "For"

What the hell is your problem, and others who are like "Noo, noooooo, don't make this thread, lock this thread."
Stop being so uptight about the internet, and either roll with it, or just get out of the way?

Below 65% on metacritic, and a demo to retail purchase ratio of under 6%.
Not my criteria of course.
edit: if we do get a title change.... "Denis Dyack - You are For me, or Against me"
Now who was the last person to use that sort of statement....hmmm... was his mission accomplished?

I think it's going to end up being an 8.0/B type of game which is good enough, but probably a disappointment for those wanting a "AAA" gem. That's the "feel" I'm getting, anyway, but I'll certainly love to be proven wrong.

How about you release the god damn demo before you go off on this dramatic tirade.
Honestly, one of the things that makes me dislike the game is your attitude. Don't get me wrong, you and the gang at Silicon Knights are great developers, but this "if you don't like it you're wrong" attitude really puts me off and less likely to give your games a try. Instead of coming on here and calling everyone out and asking us to play your silly guessing game on whether this game is going to be good, how about you tell us when this demo is coming out, and let us play it and decide how we feel about your product.
Against. Solely due to your attitude.

This is a very noble gesture Denis, but you do realise this thread is going to swamped with members voting against the game just so they can have a tag, even if it does signal them as being 'owned'.
For the record I have no feelings towards this game either positive or negative, but I am interested to see if it can manage to get out from under the considerable amount negative 'buzz' it's managed to aquire over the last few years.
Should make for an interesting thread anyway.

Man when it rains in this forum, it truly pours! :lol
The more I think about this though, the more I gotta admit I'll probably like it. I enjoyed Blood Omen, Eternal Darkness, and Twin Snakes. So honestly, I have no reason not to BELIEVE it will be good. So call me "For"
And bravo for posting on GAF. Its like willingly being dangled in front of a massive pool of shark infested waters. You will get eaten alive...you will!

You're missing the point. There are three options here. Ignoring the questions or not answering it, saying "For" and saying "Against".
Bashers haven't simply stated their opinion on the media thus far, they went on and on on how the game will suck. It's not unbiased criticism for the most part.
Then there are those who are confident that it will be something special.
And then there are others who don't care about the game, didn't made comments on the media, are waiting to see how good it is or something else.
This is a thread for those that are partial about TH. The thing is, there are some who have trashed it for no good reason that don't want to acknowledge they are being biased.
Btw, someone said it best. What better punishment for those "FOR" than having to pay 60 (or whatever) to play a bad game.
After reading through this thread now, I do feel you have unfair conditions and that Duckroll has a good point, so I'll take my side plus conditions:
AGAINST
You have to beat the Metacritic score of my personal favorite game, Ikaruga HD:
3. Xbox 360: Ikaruga (2008) 88
Treasure
88? Not too bad, right. I'll take whatever tag you want, be it 'owned by Dyack' or 'Banned'. If it's below, I will 100% not purchase your game, and make sure nobody in my immediate family or friends purchases it, either!

I'm impartial... but I'm sure I'll swing one way or another once the game streets.
At least I get to play it for free.

I would say an 8 out 10 on metacritic is a decent line. If it is above that then it certainly is unworthy of all the hate that has been thrown at it and if it is below that line then it is certainly not critically acclaimed enough for all the boasting. Just let it be a fun simple line like that.
