Denis,
I know it must suck seeing something you've put years of your life into get torn apart, but you'll move on from this and make a better game.
Please, please, don't do anything rash.

so too human is only around 10 hours long. doesn't have randomly generated dungeons (just diff. layouts in dungeons and paths that open) and just ends when you feel like it's getting started.
nice.
nice.

What I hoped we've learned here (I knew this for a long time):
- Impressions from a preview are totally worthless.
- A preview does not care what a game is called, a preview simply will list everything about a game and say it is good and looks great.
- Never say or think something is going to be good because you read it in a preview.

Well, this preview code is very close to being final code. As far as I know it's only a few bugs from the final retail code, so it's not like it's going to change dramaticly untill august.
You know, in the past, I somewhat felt the Too Human bashing was kind of tongue in cheek. Like an in forum joke or something. This thread has proven to me that I was wrong. So, very wrong.
So wrong that I've entered an alternate dimension where I'm compelled to say something positive about the game somehow. Here goes.
...
Too Human has two things going for it. 1) There's not much else coming out for 360 when Too Human will hit. 2) There's nothing like it on the system. So, it'll be a new and interesting genre of game for the console that has a chance of being a hit with people. If only they didn't gimp the amount of players...
Shit, I couldn't get through it without saying it. Le sigh.

Hyperbole? or am I missing something in that gif?
I don't think that's a legitimate argument at all. Just because it's the first Diablo clone on the console doesn't mean it has anything going for it.Kintaro said:
As for the GAF hate for Too Human, I think it's for a number of reasons, firstly it's development cycle, the initial concept/pre-production started 11 years ago. This should be the most polished, perfected game of all time. People complaining about the story and writing is shocking, how can they have not put a decent script together in that time? It's not excusable. Secondly Denis himself, the way he positions himself, his company, game and ideas. A third thing is probably a fanboy element, SK have gone from Sony exclusive, to Nintendo exclusive to Microsoft exclusive. Fucking them all over by not delivering Too Human, or delivering a poor Too Human in Microsoft's case.
I personally thought it had some chance of being good, mostly based on the story, I wanted to see what could be done with over 10 years of writing going into the game, but apparently that's fallen short. Also SK worked on TTS, the bastard child of my favorite franchise.

I don't like Too Human or anything, but I can't be the only one who thinks this Dyack bashing is just mean now am I? Those videos don't look good at all, and I seriously do feel bad for the guy. He's just passionate about the stuff he creates. ;_;
Good luck, Denis.
Good luck, Denis.

Nothing wrong with that part. You do know that Odin's traditionally depicted with two raven companions, right? It's not just some stupid thing done for atmosphere, it ties into the mythology.Slayer-33 said:

And it happens to look the same as the 2007 version.
And laughable. And tons of gifs, etc.

Same thing happened with Jade Raymond here. And the mods encourage it. Not sure how GAF expects to be taken seriously in the industry when they allow such blatant disrespect towards developers.

All gaming forums are treated equally by people in the industry. For most developers, this site is indistinguishable from gamefaqs, IGN or any other board. and judging by this and other threads, that isn't too far off the mark. The only difference these days is the perceived superiority that lurks in the minds of the posters
Too Human doesn't look like a great game, IMO, but threads like this take juvenility to a whole new depressing level. The Jade Raymond stuff was equally despicable.
I have to share my agreement that this has really gotten to depressing levels, even for gaf. Honestly, I know Denis may have brought this upon himself, but I truly feel bad for the guy. It's not hard to see how someone would fall in love with the game they are developing -- even outspokenly so.

Exactly. This is not a juvenile backlash anymore, people have played and previewed the game and recent gameplay videos are out there. The criticisms aren't baseless or unfounded.Doc Evils said:

Well I've always thought that was the case, Welcome to NeoGAF, the preeminent video game industry discussion community. maybe I'm mistaken.
I think the forum is fair to most developers.
Too Human should be mocked to a degree, if Avater comes out next year after 11 years of work and it's a piece of crap, every film board on the web will mock it, and rightly so.
Jade Raymond should never have been the face of that game, it's EA's fault, it was always going to end the way it did. EA should have known better and just had Patrice head the PR.

People who took a shot at Dyack's weight got banned. I don't see what's wrong.
And to say that this site is indistinguishable from GameFAQs, IGN or "any other board" is just stupid. You don't see Dyack posting on GameFAQs, do you? What about the host of other industry insiders and journalists who post here?

Wait, are you saying Ubi was "asking for it" because she was a woman and there is literally no other expected reaction from gamers then, well, how would you describe it?
