Kotaku Too Human Online Co-op Impressions

Michael McWhertor from Kotaku writes:

"Stephen Totilo from MTV Multiplayer and I tag-teamed a Troll today. Multiple Trolls, actually, and dozens of Goblins, as we tackled Too Human's online multiplayer co-op mode. Having completed the core single player campaign last night - it took me about 11 hours and change, for the record - and whipping through the first chapter again with my Champion class Baldur, I was a pretty good candidate for a Totilo power-leveler."

I Stopped reading there.

I just got the WORST image in my head from that line.

Man..........

power of Green 5773d ago

I thought you stopped reading because the Header and the story description did not immediately show what you wanted to see or was looking for.

Now I will read the hands-on.

soccerstar5773d ago (Edited 5773d ago )

too bad they changed it to 2 player co-op from 4 player co-op cause i probably wont buy this game anymore because i like being able to play with more of my friends like on cod4 and r6v 2

gogators5773d ago

COD4 doesn't have a co-op story mode and R6V 2 has co-op for only two people, too.

soccerstar5773d ago (Edited 5773d ago )

that's what multiplayer is for :)

Homicide5773d ago

LMAO! priceless. Looks like it's not turning out so well. What the hell have they been doing for the past few years?

Splenda145773d ago

its still probably going to be better then Haze but u never know

Superfragilistic5773d ago

This game is more along the divisive lines of Assassins Creed. There's repetitive gameplay and a short story but people will either love it or hate it. I'll even bet it hits a Metacritic of about 80 just like Assassins 81. :)

sonarus5773d ago

I don't want to pass judgment till i actually play it myself. I seriously doubt i would play it though. The concept of coop is intriguing and all but this game just has fail written over it. I'll wait for a couple of SK loyalists and general "buy every exclusive" type gamers to purchase and will be relying on others to tell me if this game is good or not.

Superfragilistic5773d ago (Edited 5773d ago )

I get where your coming from and whilst I think Too Human will be an enjoyable 8/10 game, it doesn't appear to be the killer IP (aka Eternal Darkness) that some, including myself, have been hoping for. Further it appears that the hype and development time may really hurt it come review time - 10hrs of story for 10years of conception?, etc.

Then again, there's always the sequel "Two Human" :/

pumpkinpunker5773d ago

kotaku is so ant-360! they the suxxors!

all jokes aside, I still might buy this game just for the leveling and looting. I like to collect stuff.

One last thing, everybody loves to criticize the camera in games (Ninja Gaiden 2, Too Human) but very few mentioned the camera is pretty lousy in GTA 4. GTA 4 got a free pass on quite a few things.

The Lazy One5773d ago

The camera in NG2 does suck balls. It's not just inconvenient, it makes some things downright stupidly hard, and completely defeats the purpose of some of the mechanics.

EXAMPLE:

Enemy Attacks>>>>DODGE!! !>>>>Ryu prays the enemy doesn't attack him while I try to point the camera back in the general direction of the enemy so I can counter attack>>>>Camera thinks it knows what I want and immediately points at corner with nothing in it>>>>DEATH!

UBERFAIL.

Cameras are much more critical in a game that requires close quarters evasion and combat.

Superfragilistic5773d ago (Edited 5773d ago )

I don't disagree with the GTAIV criticisms, although I don't ever remember it significantly hindering gameplay - largely thanks to the cleverly implemented auto aim feature that kept the action front and centre.

But in regards to NG2. I love the gameplay immensely and believe the combat engine to be unrivalled in the industry. BUT... the camera is awful and whilst I have some control over it, I often don't have time to move it when in such fast and furious combat, and as such it detracts from otherwise brilliant gameplay.

I'd suggest that Too Human's camera appears somewhere in the middle of the above examples. But we won't know for sure until we have those gold copies in our hands. :)

RazzerRedux1400d ago

Fun fact: I'm one of five people to have completed Too Human and actually liked it. It should be noted that the other four ended up in mental institutions....sadly.

excaliburps1400d ago

I completed it and kinda liked it. Controls were iffy but overall, I dug it. Shame Dyack was crazy. xD

IanTH1400d ago

Glad to hear it! So, when did you get out of the institution?

Marquinho1399d ago

Too Human was "The Order: 1886" of the 360.

Nitrowolf21400d ago (Edited 1400d ago )

I have never played this, mostly because I didn't own an Xbox prior to a few months ago Def. will check this out

darthv721400d ago

It certainly has a cool story and its a good game. it was just marred by long development time and kind of egotistical creator.

Looper1400d ago

Hey!! I was told survivors had all signed an NDA! I'm telling!

Kribwalker1400d ago

i really liked this one too. Always wished for a sequel, but sadly i don’t see it in the cards

excaliburps1400d ago

Yeah, it had a solid story and game mechanics. I remember the controls weren't smartly implemented, and every time you respawned, the animation was so long.

Fantangoooo1400d ago

I can't count the number of times I finished this game gridding for gear. Weird control but I liked it

Neonridr1400d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist1400d ago

Me and my friend beat it so many times. I got the best armor mathematically possible in it. Great game imo but their needed to be more tutorials on how runes work. The one that spawns singularities upon hitting someone was cash.

DerfDerf1400d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod881400d ago

I beat it too. The controls were weird, but once I got use to them it was okay. I found the story to be actually half decent. Too bad there wasn't a sequel because I really believe if they have fixed the issues the first game had(controls, camera, etc), it could have been a great series.

HyperMoused1400d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander1400d ago

Beat it as well. it had a good story line. Overall it was decent.

glennhkboy1400d ago

I remember that I played the 1st stage. The control was so bad that I couldn't force myself to continue.

morganfell1400d ago

Fun fact...you're actually one of six :) That game was the reason I kept an Xbox 360 running until they released the very last B/C titles and it was among them.

Chronicle7801399d ago

I thought the game was ok, clunky but ok. Every time I go back to play it though it takes 20 minutes for the controls to 'click' again. Pity most of the advanced combos and controls aren't listed anywhere in the game.

I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.

Kribwalker1648d ago

i really enjoyed it when it came out.

It was free recently on xbox through BC. Id love to see this revived but sadly i think the legal issues would stop that

2pacalypsenow1750d ago

I was worried it was Harry Gregson Williams.

AK911750d ago

Oh sad to say not that familiar with this man's work but RIP to this individual, his music must have been amazing.

SinkingSage1750d ago

Very sad news, I really enjoy the Eternal Darkness and Blood Omen soundtracks, masterpieces.
