10 hours isn't a bad thing.
10 hours for a repetitive grind/lootfest where everything looks average at best and where the story doesn't take off is a bad thing.

I got one of our writers over to play it as I have very little that is positive to say about the game. He seemed to enjoy it a bit but wasn't enjoying it enough to become a polar opposite of me.
intro part one:

awful...(animations, dynamic, art design, no sense of weight)
part two hd:

better, but not good.

this game will sell a million and gaf will still piss on it
Kojima insulted Nintendo by calling the GameCube a purple handbag in an EGM interview. He later said he was misquoted, he didn't mean it, and that he actually loved the GameCube.Mamesj said:
Kojima and Miyamoto were having coffee one day, and Miyamoto asked "If you really love the GameCube that much, why haven't you made anything for it yet?"
Kojima said he was too busy making PS2 games, and even if he wasn't, he had no experience with the GameCube.
Miyamoto said he knew some gaijin who weren't doing anything important (just some "Too Human" thing they kept going on about), and had GameCube experience.
Miyamoto/Kojima invited Dyack to coffee and ambushed him with a offer to make Twin Snakes for them.
SK ported the MGS2 engine to the Cube, where Denis said it ran better than it did on PS2/Xbox, and used it to run the Konami-provided MGS1-PSX game-assets and inferior new FMV/voice acting.

Look at GTA. Or Mario Galaxy. One Month after everyone was praising it to death, people started to complain about the way too high ratings. Ive rarely seen them, but they seem to lurk between us..
GTA4 is overrated.

It seems very disjointed at first but after about an hour or two it starts to improve a little as some things are tied together.
I can't stant the combat though and being that it is 90% of the game I won't be buying it (or keeping the review copy to review myself)

This game is going to be shit, we all know this. Sorry, Dennis. I loved your other games, but I'm not going to get anywhere near this mess.
Making this game 10 hours long was a mistake. But hey, 10 yrs. of development= 10 hr. game.

Slow clap. I'm impressed :lol
It will be awesome once this game releases and enough time passes. Dumping on the game will probably go out of style by then and if the game ends up being good then the people who are actually interested will be able to enjoy a good game.
I thought that 10 year development crack was bannable. Oh well, water under the bridge.
TrueReligion said:
You know, the game hasn't actually been in development 10 years... though I suppose it's a lot more fun for Gaf to think it has been.
Anyway, I once had faith in this game. It looks like first impressions (E3) of games usually are correct after all. So sad, because the game had lots of potential, though a lot of it was killed when they dropped 4 player co-op.

I do too. I like SK's games, but this game is made of all kinds of fail especially the voice acting :/Nolan. said:

WHY THE FUCK would they SLOW-MO a reload when said reload consists of Baldur merely touching his belt with his pistols? Is that such a fucking monumental event that I need to see it in slow-mo? And then they SLOW-MO him shooting ONE flying thingie and THEN they SLOW-MO him shooting the other flying thingie, like it takes some kind of superhuman skill, it's like some sort of Yoji Shimomura-style cutscene except everything is dumbed down and made for retards.
Seriously, the 1up network is doing a huge disservice to Too Human showing their vids in the "iso" camera. None of the previews have had a problem with art or graphics.
I think the only complaints that should seriously be looked at from the previews are:
Combat
Camera
Game Length and lasting appeal
Other than that, you guys are reaching. Every preview has commented on how technically well made Too Human is.

I completely agree. It's not just this game either. There are so many games that apply slow-mo in the most indiscriminate way, apparently attempting to make even the most mundane actions epic and poignant.Kittonwy said:

Amazing. I saw that 2nd cut scene like a year ago (e3 07?) Back then everybody thought it looked awful.
1 year, and all they change are the colors and maybe an animation here and there. The choreography is still garbage, animation still looks crap overall, the slow motion continues to be lame, and the sound effects keep failing to give the scene any sort of impact.
Incredible, they must really think they know better than anybody else, so when someone tells them A or B is lacking they must don't give a damn and think that what they have is hot shit.
Disappointing, you would expect them to AT LEAST take a page or two from MGS TTS, but no, animation and cut scene directions, aside from here and there, is just crap. Heck that 1st video is horrible.

So that is what Dyack is playing that.
Super duper ultra secret spoilers (no seriously I'm going to be giving the entire plot away here so don't highlight):
the premise of Too Human is the Aesir forcefully taking back Baldr from Hel? That's it? Jesus. At least that explains why he's baldr than bald
There is no facepalm big enough.

Stop that. :lol
Lack of 4 player co-op has about .1 % to do with why people don't like this game. 4 player co-op not being there is just one of the later justifications for all the other reasons the game would end up being crap.
People were saying the game were crap well before even today, so it's funny that some are acting as if later videos are revealing something to them that we didn't already know about since last year.

10 hours is perfect for a rental, so I might Gamefly this. It sounds like a decent way to pass the time before Gears 2 comes out.
You know, if this game released under the radar there would be a few threads after it came out talking about how it could be the sleeper hit of the year. But all the hype is going to turn the release into a circus of hyperbole.

What forum are you talking about? Everyone here was pretty positive about that cutscene back then.
Shins said:
I seem to lack your sharpness at writing sarcastic humor i guess.
OnBackOrder said:
Really? Gaf liked that? I don't remember if i was here at GAF already then.
Always thought that scene was some crappy ass shit, and the comments i remember seemed to reflect that back then.
