10 most unbelievable lines of dialogue from Too Human

Fidgit's Tom Chick writes:

"Regardless of what I think of Too Human as an action RPG*, there's no denying that it contains some of the most memorable writing in a computer game since Richter barged in on Dracula and was told something about a man being a miserable pile of secrets. Early on in Too Human, I was sent scrambling for a pencil because I couldn't quite believe what I'd heard. I made sure to keep it handy throughout.

After the jump are the top ten most unbelievable bits of dialogue from Too Human."

* Not much
Bombibomb6144d ago (Edited 6144d ago )

ROFL poor Denis Dyack. That was some of the most horrendous dialogue I've ever seen in my life.

el_bandito6144d ago

LMFAO! ""If that's your best, bring on your worst."

Millah6144d ago

Holy wow, is it really THAT bad? I knew it would be comical, but I didn't think it would be THAT horrible and cheesy. I'm pretty sure I wrote better than that in Middle School. Dang Denis Dyack, if Too Humans your best then bring on your worst.

jmalc6144d ago

Dyack and Co. knew that by hyping the game so much, actively baiting forum trolls, and then including such lines as "If that's your best, bring on your worst," they could ensure their game immortality as an internet meme.

Damn comedians.

This thread is full of win! ^^

Come on boys, let's forget this game's epic fail and PARTAY!!!!

HAY HAY HAY! 2 Snaps and a twist!

A man walks into a doughnut shop

MAN: Give me your best doughnut
DOUGHNUT MAN: Here you are
MAN *lowers his head, takes bite of doughnut*
DOUGHNUT MAN: What do you think?
MAN *Spits out doughnut, raises head and glares at DOUGHNUT MAN*
MAN: <In a dark, gravely voice> If that's your best, give me your worst.
DOUGHNUT MAN: Double-U Tee Eff?

At least he tried. Most people just copy the cliche exactly. This guy went to the next level.

xhairs96144d ago

They need to have someone grammar check the whole game apparently.

ZombieNinjaPanda6144d ago

It was actually pretty funny...For being so bad.

Lew_Ijgee6144d ago

+ bubbles for that one. Funny as Hell

tplarkin76144d ago

I don't know why people thought SK was a AAA firm. I assume it was due to them being a 2nd party Nintendo developer in the past. Microsoft should dump SK ASAP.

Sheddi6144d ago

yeah those are some funny lines

IcarusOne6143d ago

I don't get why this is so hot right now?

Off the top of our heads, every one of us can name ten games with far worse dialogue than this - dialogue that truly deserves to be made fun of. I could give you a manifesto from MGS4. And let's see if any lists go up when RE5 launches. They should. Clearly this author seems to not enjoy the game. But if this is the worst one can gripe about it, I may have to check it out.

And some of those lines actually sound damn cool.

i'm embarrassed for the game.

that is some horrible dialogue

a 5th grader could write better dialogue.

Bombibomb6144d ago

I just spit soda all over my keyboard thanks to Jeff.

GiantEnemyCrab6144d ago

Do you understand anything about this game? It is based on Norse Mythology so the people talk like vikings. Man, this is why this article sucks because without the context you make the assumption like you did.

Go watch something like the Thirteen Warrior to see what I mean.

You want some bad dialog fire up SC IV.

zo6_lover276144d ago

OMG I can't stop laughing, and it sure doesn't help when your a fan.

PirateThom6144d ago

Whoa... hold on... people talk like vikings?

Vikings didn't speak in English, to start with.

It's like a bad movie where the Nazis talk with German accents while speaking English. Absolutely no need for awkward sentence construction. If they wanted to make it authentic, they could have made them speak in some Scandinavian language, not broken English.

This game is as close to Norse Mythology as Eaters of the Dead was to Beowulf. Lots of artistic liberties. The fact there's robots makes the entire Norse mythology schtik nonsense.

Rock Bottom6144d ago

"If that's your best, bring on your worst."

VigorousApathy6144d ago

Wait, so Vikings talked in 1970's cliches with nonsensical ideas and poor sentence structure?

And I you can't have a movie about Nazi Germany for English speaking people without having them speak English. It's a commonly excepted style for movies that would be entirely in a foreign language otherwise. They do it in the accent because that is the most they can do. And don't give me that subtitle idea. If subtitles were any good at all everything would have subtitles. No one picks subtitles as their first choice. Unless they are Mel Gibson.

You're just one of the "Damn comedians".
Sorry, had to do it.

"there be fanboys here" on N4G :) damn really

Rock Bottom6144d ago

"There be crappy dialogs here" in Too Human.

cr33ping_death6144d ago

Yeah no Sh!t i was poking fun at that. slow mcuh?

JoySticksFTW6144d ago

Ok the game is crap. Nothing more to see here. This corpse has been picked over. Let's move on.

I'll see you bots again when Banjo Kazooie and Lips come out :P

Fair?

Mc Fadge6144d ago

Makes me question the intelligence of the author. Some errors are bad syntax and some sound rather strange, but with no context or characters it's hard to tell. That being said, I could clearly understand many of the meanings, which he then twisted to make it sound ridiculous

Bad article :/

Rock Bottom6144d ago

Explain "If that's your best, bring on your worst." for me then.

VigorousApathy6144d ago

Even most of the little kids on here could understand and enjoy the article. Yet you question the intelligence of the author?

Mc Fadge6144d ago

First of all, it seems to mean to be quite melodramatic in writing, that being said, I'll explain myself:

10) "What would monsters want with the Norn's datastacks?"

Hard to judge this one, we haven't played through it (though he states we know nothing about it). But there's nothing wrong with the writing.

9) "Make sure courage guides your sword hand, not your fear."
Why would courage guide your fear? That makes no sense.

It obviously means don't let fear guide your sword, bad syntax.

8) "Make sure you die on your feet and not cowering behind some fetid corpse."

It's not common speech therefore it's ridiculous?

7) "I aim to get out of here."
"Yeah, but will it be in a bag or on a pair of Valkyrie wings?"
"Damn comedians."

Context needed, sounds bad though

6) "Come on, boys, let's party."
Wait, did I really hear that? Did one of my followers just enjoin his cyber-Norse companions to "party"? What game is this again? And can I get David Cross in here for a reading of that line?

Context

5) "We shall free the world from cold stagnation."

Really that bad?

4) "Your fear soaks your armor. I can smell it."
Not many videogames feature characters who smell each other.

It's not literal.

3) "There be monsters here."

What's wrong with that?

2) "As executor of the will of the Aesir, I will destroy you."
Then, as the keeper of the materiel manifest for the Aesir, I will either equip or sell the items that you drop.

Sounds lame in writing, but it's not really bad :/

1) "Did you toast to me when I lay upon a marble slab in hell?"
This line is followed by an awkward silence. No joke. The character says it at a party and then everyone clams up and won't make eye contact with him. I'm not sure why, because I'd long since given up trying to make sense of what passes for a story in Too Human. But in my head, the awkward silence was from everyone wondering whether to correct his usage of "lay".

The fact he couldn't get the meaning of that is why I questioned his intelligence, it really is quite obvious :/

1) "Your agonized shrieks shall be your only monument."

Drama again

1) "If that's your best, bring on your worst."

Nonsense statement :P
________________

Happy now?

VigorousApathy6143d ago

No I'm not happy. If something's bad I want everyone to know about it and agree with me.

Mc Fadge6143d ago

It's just criticising an aspect of a bad game, and that aspect really isn't that bad :/

Too Human Free for Xbox Gamers - Download It Here

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.

RazzerRedux1819d 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.

excaliburps1819d ago

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

IanTH1819d ago

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

Marquinho1818d ago

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

Nitrowolf21819d ago (Edited 1819d 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

darthv721819d 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.

Looper1819d ago

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

Kribwalker1819d ago

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

excaliburps1819d 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.

Fantangoooo1819d ago

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

Neonridr1819d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist1819d 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.

DerfDerf1819d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod881819d 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.

HyperMoused1819d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander1819d ago

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

glennhkboy1819d ago

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

morganfell1819d 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.

Chronicle7801818d 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.

Phoenix Down 87.0 – Too Human

Denis Dyack would disapprove.

darthv722067d ago

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

Kribwalker2067d 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
