"I've played the demo upwards of 10 hours. Not the full game. The demo! What makes that even more outrageous is the fact I hated or at least was indifferent to my first hour with it. But then on my second playthrough things started to click, and by my third somehow Silicon Knights had put a needle in my arm and I've been addicted ever since. And apparently I'm not the only one...
The purpose of this three-part article is to seek forgiveness for my earlier judgements in far greater detail. My failure was to judge a book by its cover, and by what misinformed others were saying, rather than by the contents within..."
Part One covers the Camera and Combat where the author claims:
"The camera wasn't the problem, it was me... Diablo, God of War and Skate (I'll explain later), never let me control a completely free roam camera either, and yet all were excellent titles in their own right and as such make any complaints here seem superficial."
"It was like one minute I was playing Fight Night as a button masher, and then the next minute I'd been exposed to a wonderful world of complexity hidden in the right analogue stick, full of various jabs, hooks, uppercuts, parries and haymakers."
The action-RPG by now-defunct Silicon Knights is now free for Xbox gamers! Check out the Too Human free direct download link with armor sets here.
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.
I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.
He worked in the game industry since the early ‘90s
Oh sad to say not that familiar with this man's work but RIP to this individual, his music must have been amazing.
Very sad news, I really enjoy the Eternal Darkness and Blood Omen soundtracks, masterpieces.
I'll actually download the demo :P
Good point bout the camera, I felt mostly the same way. And the combat is a lot of fun once you properly understand it
But whilst you can argue FOR/AGAINST regarding the camera & combat, I'll be very interested to see what he has to say about the graphics, cause they really are lacking in places...
Although he did say he "decided Gears 2 would always look better"... No Sh!t Sherlock! ;) lolz
Good read.
A well thought out article. I'm glad that some videogame critic out there didn't judge a game by initial impressions and took time to understand some of the games new features such as the new control and camera scheme.
this game sux camera sux and the combat.
i got a 360 downloaded it. deleted it. waste of space
they wasted 10 years of there life time and should of canceled that game
