But seriously PC games are held to higher standards. Like for instance MMORPGs are in abundance on PC, not so on console so it will cause a difference in opinion. And a game like TH doesn't come around often on consoles so standards are lower for most console specific reviewers.

The Too Human hate has pretty much become some sort of Meme. Its an event. Whenever a Too Human thread rears its head, we all flame it to hell. My honest opinion is, if the game has lots of loot, I'll be there.

Somebody is in an awful hurry to fit themselves into the sterotypical "grownup" mold they've been told is proper and right, while misunderstanding it completely. Somebody is finding role models in the higher-ups in GAF. Somebody is full of himself. Somebody found thesaurus.com

Wow Dyack, did you really take all that criticism personally? This really is pathetic. I always was applauding Too Human saying that it will be the first RPG that would potentially get into the genre.
But whatever, I attribute Too Human to the dedicated workers at Silicon Knights. Dyack and this childish thread can go to hell. This is just like Uwe Boll.

And even i am moderately surprised
i think GAF opinion is most review sites are biased one way or another depending on what thier favourite game scores that issue.
Anyways, this is between DD and GAF , so it should be kept within our bounds.
i want to highlight how rediculously safe the bet is. It plays on the fact that ED was overrated (a la PDZ etc) - something i thought we'd established on gaf X years ago, so using that as a bench mark for TH seems unfair.
As someone pointed out, for DD to win this bet, TH has to out score Diablo 2.
Come now - this is just a way too one sided and safe bet.
If the game is going to be as bad as the haters feel, then i'm not sure 90% shows any sort of confidence in it's bombage!
... wow.

Wow this is sad.

And everyone held those scores against Uncharted. I considered it an AAA game, the media did not. Therefore 90+ or bust. No special treatment. He wants to be outspoken and ballsy, then that's how it should be. Remember, this is media involved too, not just gaf.

"See? Its this kind of shit. Why? Why do people who talk like this all the time get modded??"
To spite you, obviously.

And in response to AAK, It's not just Denis taking it personally.
Too Human is a game most of the 'hardcore' have decided to write-off while knowing sweet f*ck-all about it.
If it gets people interested and to try the game I think it's a good idea.
The only issue is that the stunt could backfire, and give people a reason to nit-pick.

Although I'm not sure how I feel about this thread, considering Eternal Darkness is my favorite game of all time I guess I'm in the excited category.
All this commotion and Dennis has prolly forgot about it and gone bed. When he wakes up he's going to have 100 messages on his phone (all from R. Bach)
Message:
1. Dude
2. Weak
3.
so on so on.
Also I hope this is the greatest way to introduce the demo ever.
Dyack saying GAF members to give it a try ect. Then BAM here's your demo you tossers :lol

90% is a perfectly good differentiation point for one really good reason:

So Dyack hasn't posted since he told duckroll off huh? I wonder if he will ever post here again...

This forum will most certainly not be on fire regardless of how the game turns out, it's not a marquee title, it's not "the next big thing" that everybody is hyped for, most people don't give a rat's ass about it so if by some miracle the game turns out to be anything other than patently mediocre the most you'll get is about the same impact as a wet fart. If the game turns out like everybody thinks it will then you'll get a few haha's but either way the thread will have a hard time staying on the front page.

He will if Too Human hits 90% on gamerankings.ICallItFutile said:
This is great. Dyack is once again unzipping and flaunting his unimpressive e-peen, and the internet is eating it up like its the latest Britney debacle.
Too Human could be a great game, but it looks like it's now going to live or die according to the hype machine that builds between now and the game's August release. Anything short of high eights means Dyack is the next gaming pariah after Jeff Bell. Anything above that means we all hate him slightly less. Either way, none of this helps Too Human.
I say permaban Dyack and any other Silicon Knight for this shit if the game bombs. If it doesn't, then nothing changes. The game made him money, and he gets his redemption. Simple as that.

Wow nothing. This game has been set back and set back, and when we see new media on it, it looks worse and worse. I've lost all interest in it. KZ2 keeps getting set back, but it keeps looking better and better, not the other way around, so I can excuse them to a point. Then someone comes on talking tuff on it, that we have to pick for or against now on a game we haven't played? If he's so sure it'll be better than MOST games, that would be a 90+ in the media, since people love using those shitastic scores that the media gives as the indicator of game quality.

EvilLore and Dyack - surely this is a fair way forward for all, considering everything that has been said (my game will be awesome, your game will be shit)?

Well the fact taht we do know sweet fuck all about it can be traced back to a certain cause.
And I would rather him get people interested by actually being forthcoming with info about the game. There are tons of questions that I need answered about the game, that I have hardly heard anywhere.
I'm wondering why this thread didn't have a poll...how do we tally the results? It would have been an easier method of seeing who voted for who.
If the game does get over 90%, I'll propose to Jade Raymond for her hand in marriage.
I think everyone should have their own little Too Human bets.
I don't think the mods would appreciate it if I started a "Too Human bet thread"...would you mods?

The listed stakes put Denis in a tough position.
TH is an 85 game -- something like NG2. I have it pre-ordered and I still don't expect it to hit a 90 average.
But at this point, Denis cannot come back with "I think my game is great, but the bet would have to be 85+." That statement is at odds with his OP.
Someone else proposed <80 Denis pays, 90+ Evilore pays, and a split on 80-89. That would allow all parties to save face. And I'm sure Denis would actually consider agreeing here.
Denis wouldn't suggest this, though -- Evilore, you should step up with this revised wager. It's for charity anyway -- write it off.
Assuming there aren't potential legal/corporate issues with a (former?) company president betting on review scores for his own title.
