Support NeoGAF

Same here, but the meltdown was too much of a temptation to pass. :lol

To people who have played it, can you imagine a meltdown of any kind being mustered for this? Wouldn't that require someone to yell up and down about how they think it's fantastic? I can't see anyone leaving this demo thinking anything other than "What should I have for lunch today?" It's completely forgettable.

 

[Kuroyume]

Wow... That was pretty bad.

- Visuals were poor both in game play and cutscenes

- Framerate stutters in both game play and cutscenes

- The game play is pretty boring. I know what kind of game this is, but this just didn't feel as fun to me as PSO did years ago.

- Terrible dialogue/writing

 

[Kabouter]

Wow, I was completely wrong calling it mediocre based on 1up show footage. This is complete and total ass. The worst game I've played in a good while. The cutscenes alone made me want to pry my eyes out with a pencil.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

The KOF demo is probably worse, but it didn't have the awful cutscenes.

Admittedly, I skipped all of these.

 

[Cheerilee]

NeoGAF impressions of this are infecting my favourite forum now.

Which one? Post a screenshot!

 

[abstract alien]

Wow, see I would expect something more frustrating to be the worst shit you've ever played. To be in a situation where you want to do something in a game and do the complete opposite. This game never compelled me to really want to do anything and when nothing happened quite the way it should have I didn't really care either way.

I guess that's...a kind of abomination.

I think you just killed DD with that line :lol

 

[`Moe Joe.]

Ohh one of the Marines said "Put up or shut up!". I get it Dyack!

Maybe Too Human is the real social experiment...

It shall test the boundaries of man, and how long man can play an abomination.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I think you just killed DD with that line :lol

Whoops! I forgot a "me" there. It never compelled me to do anything. I'm sure its creators had great ambitions.

 

[abstract alien]

They arent supposed to be showing this at the MS press conference are they?

 

[Crisis]

They arent supposed to be showing this at the MS press conference are they?

One can only hope.

 

[Ashhong]

these impressions are making me sad...

 

[ramiel]

Is the demo really that bad? Maybe I should just cancel the Download and maybe go to bed.

 

[gnarkill bill]

LOL! from the Teamxbox Forums:

"I just got some new armour pieces, looks badass!

Damn, I LOVE character costumizations!!
This alone will make me buy the game.

Wow, and the new big blade I got is badass too."

15 minute on stage demo with Dyack playing the game

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I think we all know why they released this now instead of at the conference now.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Has anyone actually said they enjoyed it? :lol

TeamXBOX forums. Someone said that the cutscenes were like a Hollywood movie...

Holy SH!T, this game is so epic! The sound, the cinematics, dayum! Like a hollywood movie!

 

[Ydahs]

People who were considering buying this game to try it out but just tried out the demo: are you still getting it?

 

[gnarkill bill]

HELL NO.

 

[Ramirez]

Is the demo really that bad? Maybe I should just cancel the Download and maybe go to bed.

I see legit 360 fans in here calling it trash, so yea I'd say so. :lol

 

[Sinatar]

Well I finished the demo...

Pros:
+ Getting phat loots is always fun. By the end of the demo I was kitted out in all kinds of sweet stuff and it all had unique graphics. Well done here.
+ Um... Did I mention loot?

Cons:
- Graphics are pretty poor. Probably should have stuck with UE3 there SK.
- Cutscenes and dialog are completely fucking awful.
- Controls are janky as hell. Combat never feels smooth.
- Skill trees are boring. I looked through the entire tree and it didn't look at all compelling. A big part of what makes these games addictive is looking forward to all those cool new abilities you get when you level. Not so much here.
- Camera is complete garbage, it's never facing where it should be.

All in all I can't recommend this to anyone but the most hardcore loot collectathon fans. I'm craving one badly enough that I might get this, but I think I'll probably end up holding out for Sacred 2.

"This" meaning the demo, or the internet reactions to the demo?

That'd be so awesome. If Denis was all "Hey Microsoft, watch me pown the NeoGAF, live on stage at E3." Releases demo. Goes on stage. Clicks on thread...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Like I said. It's not even worth it. It's just not fun. It's totally bland. There's no keystone of shittiness that everyone can rally around and laugh at. (Like that bit in the trailer where he blocks those things with his arms?) I mean, I'd let the download run if it started, but if you're tired, go to sleep bro.

[IamMattFox]

The game seems extremely average.


I was trying to think of what game the combat reminded me of, and the only game that came to mind was Spider-man 3. At least the latter had web slinging.

Without noticing this thread I just went and made some popcorn. Good timing, it seems! :lol

[VaLiancY]

The demo wasn't bad. Combat took time getting use too. I tried to avoid dying so I could avoid that damn Valkyrie cutscene. The graphics are good, I'm not one to complain about the fidelity of a title. Controls were meh' at best sadly. Phat loot is one of the major positive of the game if thats saying much.

Let us pray together

Pretty much. It's really nothing to lose sleep over.

 

[Flunkie]

Well, that'd be one great way to kill the show.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

:lol

I bet no one expected that the only fun stuff would have to be culled from other forums.

 

[sevenchaos]

Question for you guys: while fighting were you holding down the right stick or tapping it?

 

[Gattsu25]

From the glory hole that is TeamXBOX:

Holy SH!T, this game is so epic! The sound, the cinematics, dayum! Like a hollywood movie!

Do they really have to use the censored version of 'shit'?

 

[PuppetMaster]

God I hope that patent SK requested for their camera system goes through!

If it prevents any other dev from reproducing such a sh*tty camera then some good would have come out of this fiasco after all.

 

[Chinner]

:lol

Holy shit? Are you dissing the Costner?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Question for you guys: while fighting were you holding down the right stick or tapping it?

I was just moving it in directions.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I fear for what Denis is going to do when the game averages in the 60's and everyone on the board laughs at him.

I really think he could start dropping F Bombs at people.

 

[sinnergy]

:lol

Yes amazing isn't it, that place is like the opposite of GAF, GAF is always so negative... While they are jaded and positive.

The truth as always is something in between.
I have not played the demo yet, work, but is the camera the same as in Eternal Darkness, because I had zero problems with that camera.

 

[McBradders]

Wow, I was completely wrong calling it mediocre based on 1up show footage. This is complete and total ass. The worst game I've played in a good while. The cutscenes alone made me want to pry my eyes out with a pencil.

Okay, you're usually pretty level headed regarding pretty much everything (apart from $3000 PC Rigs ) so now I'm actually beleiving it's as bad as they say

 

[The Bookerman]

It would have been an ok game if Denis didn't hype it up like it would be the best game in history during the past 10 years... Your loud mouth is your undoing, Denis.

 

[Flunkie]

Question for you guys: while fighting were you holding down the right stick or tapping it?

All you have to do is move it and it's instant kills. Doesn't really matter how you move it.. you just move it, and stuff happens.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

hmm. What I've seen thus far is decent. Controls take some getting used to. The interesting part here is watching people spinning it down to something of superman 64 proportions, which it honestly is not. However, I'm afraid that with all the 'social issues' surrounding it now (to say nothing of hype) it's not set up for the ... best ... kind of scrutiny.

Yeah, precisely. I don't see any cause to magnify its awfulness. It's just not there for me. It didn't slap me in the face with shit.

 

[CoG]

TeamXbox again. And of course...

Keep in mind that the Demo may be made with an old build of the game...

 

[dejay]

Can't wait to see the demo for myself, because there's one thing I've learned at GAF - I respect the opinions of about 5% of people here and agree with even less. 60% downloaded.

 

[Sins*]

so is it really that bad? hmm... i'll download it a bit later.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

It would have been an ok game if Denis didn't hype it up like it would be the best game in history during the past 10 years... Your loud mouth is your undoing, Denis.

Seriously? Come on. This is the problem right here. People magnifying boredom into an assault on the senses completely out of spite.

 

[sprsk]

Is that what this has really come down to?

The game sucks, modus.

 

[gnarkill bill]

TeamXbox again. And of course...

Am I the only one over there that isnt in love with it?
