Support NeoGAF

[McBradders]

Stop it. There is no comparison to the sheer level of disrespect and personal insults that Dyack has received on this forum. I've seen him posting respectfully to his detractors in an effort to explain something and got a "You're a fucking idiot" or a "Fuck off" or a "You fat fuck" in response and instead of most people doing the right thing and rejecting such talk, it was applauded.

Funny, his little to and fro with Kittonwy says otherwise. Kittonwy was polite and respectful in all of his posts and Dyack treated him like shit FOR NO GOOD REASON.

So yeah, fine point well made.

 

[Dina]

For, but I didn't need this thread to convince me. And you're better then this, Denis.

 

[EviLore]

its funny how people can spend a few paragraphs of their time flaming denis and too human, yet still cant bring themselves to just answer the question and type out 'against'

but i guess tags are serious business.

Tag bets are lame, that's why. And it's not like we're even going to enforce this crap.

If Denis stepped up and bet me $1,000 that Too Human will get a final gamerankings aggregate above 90%, then maybe this thread would get interesting.

 

[Hypno Funk]

NeoGAF doesn't revolve around one game, in this case Too Human, and so the request for tags for members who will post in other threads totally unrealted to Too Human in the future seems a little immature and uneccessary.

It seems as though game developers revolve around NeoGAF, that would explain why Denis came to post here, plus NeoGAF consists of the majority of the demographic which can mkae games a success or a total bomb(a?).

I personally want more coverage on the game, and a Demo would be nice.
It is also coherently hard to post where my allegence lies before I have even played the game.

 

[avcables]

HI DENIS.

I LOVE YOU MAN.

I just pirated a leaked copy of your game from some torrent and WOW!

THAT SHIT SUCKS MAN. I'm totally against, yo.

 

[Zonar]

for.

 

[Calcaneus]

Yeah, but try to comment more "respectfully", just the fact that he's facing a bunch of guys here insulting him is commendable on my book.... even more with a bunch of people insulting him. Maybe the game won't be great, but whatever... at least it got released

Eh, I think he's getting enough respect just for the fact that this thread is still open. If I were to post a thread that was basically "Too Human tag bet lol", it would be laughed out of here faster than an old post. But everyone is playing along because he made the game, as if it makes the thing any less silly. But these are just my thoughts, and I will respectfully bow out of this thread if anyone so wishes.

I know it's a parody movie, but the Bad Boys 2 picture works better.

Could this be the first developer-started thread to get locked? Reason: developer is insane?

me too but the jerks didn't let me in. jerks.

I've been in for a while, but never really given the game a real chance. Keep getting distracted.

You guys should make it a charity bet. Money goes to Child's Play.

90%? Weird, because for example i consider Neverwinter Nights 2 and Mask Of the Betrayer some of the best gaming i've had these last couple of years, and i happen to know you are a fan too, and:

http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/939027.asp?q=neverwinter nights 2
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/922154.asp?q=neverwinter nights 2

So suddenly, 80% isn't good enough?

I think 80% would be more than reasonable for the bet.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

You know, if the game turned out to be good, people would be eating crow, anyway.

Now all they're going to remember is the developer throwing a temper tantrum about how no one gave him a fair shot. If the product were good enough to speak for itself, would you even need to wave your arms to get people to look the other way?

Or is it more important to be praised for your work than it is for people to enjoy it?

I hate you. Stop killing me in TF2 and play the fucking game.

Yup.

:lol Here? No.

 

[Hypno Funk]

I am for the game in the sense that I am for the production of most video games. Better to have a game than no game at all.

Whether i'm for it in regards as to whether I purchase the game has yet to be seen.

 

[Heretic]

FOR!!!

 

[Twig]

I hate you. Stop killing me in TF2 and play the fucking game.

Maybe I will.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Do they need to do it publicly for Dyack to be happy?

What does that say about him?

yea, i still don't get why people are soo critical about this game. if it's good, i'll buy it. i await reviews.

 

[Supa]

For, I always planned to buy Too Human on launch day, I'm a sucker for games big on story.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Ballsy = ego-bruised tantrum?

 

[GashPrex]

I love how people act all high and mighty...yeah its a videogame forum where we talk about videogames that aren't even out yet. Too Human, and specifically Dyack get a lot of shit because he is a huge nerd like the rest of us, and often fires back at people. Personally, I like the idea he cares so much - regardless of his intent with this thread. I just want a good game, I don't know why people care so much about the other stuff.

So then why are you planning on getting Too Human?

I see where you're going with this, but 90% is just silly. Times change, including expecations on review scores and as someone else pointed out, GTAIV just cracked a whole can of worms for the higher end of the scale. If you're going to call Denis out make it actually interesting and do 75%.

 

[slewis7]

I am FOR waiting until reviews and demos to decide. I am AGAINST making up my mind based on pre-release hype and videos. Nice job on drumming up free PR.

Lair got like a 90 in Play. This idea is fail.

Oh but Lair looks better than Too Human though, just thought I'd clarify.

me too. how do you like it so far? They didnt let me in either. I am tired of waiting for their open beta damn it.

Why 90%? I say 80%

 

[Y2Kev]

>75%! Now that's a standard we can believe in.

The game being slightly better than Geist in the eyes of reviewers will sure show those doubters!

Why would he do that? DD claims it's the best game he has ever made, ED has a 92 Metacritic score. It's more than fair to ask for 90+ score.

Play != Collective game pubications.

 

[PistolGrip]

80% is not better than most games released this year me thinks. 75% would avg, 80 is just a bit above average.

 

[OceansAndEarth]

For - Too Human

But to be honest, Denis Dyack belongs here.

 

[Kabouter]

When the average for game reviews is about 71%, marginally above average doesn't really fit with this:

I feel Too Human is a great game, likely to be better than most that will come out this year. I certainly feel it is the best game we have ever made. I also believe the press and gamers alike will believe this. This puts me in the “For” camp.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Maybe I will.

But then who will I kill

$1000 goes to a charity of choice, no-one should benefit financially from this. Well... except orphans or diseased people.

You guys sure seem to be losing faith in how shitty this game is.

 

[eve241]

By negative I meant anytime someone had some complaint or criticsm he flipped out and attacked the person back because apparently saying anything negative about Too Human gives him the right to insult people.

I think it was one of the EGM/1up guys that posted a negative impressions from last year's E3 and Denis took up a personal crusade to try and get the entire gaming media to change their policy to something totally different. Then I believe he went on the 1up podcast and flat out insulted the same guy.

You "think" and "believe"? I've heard the podcast. There was nothing wrong in Denis' attitude. As for personal crusade, everyone has their opinions on how things should or shouldn't be.

Denis and most developers know that what magazine A or B says about your game, even before it's released, matters. The kind of stuff written in EGM's preview was, if nothing else, poorly worded. It completely trashed the game. He did not insult the guy who wrote that preview. I think he's quite right about previews being meaningless and conceptually inaccurate. And if he feels it's something that ultimately is bad for both developers and consumers, and if he has the courage to voice his opinion, then let the man speak.

Has for flipping out due to complaints or criticism I honestly don't know where you got that idea from...

 

[JasoNsider]

nm, double post

 

[avcables]

Why 90%? I say 80%

Dyack claimed that Too Human was his best game. Eternal Darkness has a 90%. Clearly the 90% medium we're dealing with is the right way to go.
