"So I cant get the demo glitch to work. I put the date to 2019 and started the demo but no go. Im jamming the left thumbstick and A but to no avail."
No just keep jamming A repeatidly for 4 or 5 seconds and after the 4 or 5 seconds while still jamming press left if trying to unlock or bio engineer or right for the other class. You want to press the joystick in the direction of an unlocked character so bio engineer you have to go to the left because he is the right most character.
Edit: O, and you don't have to mess with the date anymore that was only for the second and third classes and they are fully unlocked now.

Same, it just doesn't to have the same replay value and socialization aspects of PSO that I was hoping for. The campaign should be a blast the first time through, though. Especially on co-op

He isn't really a new guy, but a returning guy. He was on 1up fm a few weeks ago.
The review did address one of my concerns I had after playing the demo, and that is the unimportant of the loot you collect. Just having a lot of loot isn't that interesting when you don't have valuable time to spend with that interesting look. I think Borderlands might have this same problem judging from the E3 walkthrough.

I think his point is you're constantly having loot thrown at you, rather then having to grind the same enemies all day for something, will make it less worthwhile to get. Rare awesome weapons are great but not if every weapon you get is rare and awesome

Man, I've never read a review from thehdroom.com but that reviews was leagues better than the 1up review. I can care less about the scores but at least put some damn effort into your reviews.
On to the next review
>.< nobody has mentioned if the controls are customizable yet though!

Ha! I love it,

the 1up review said:
This is a concern. You should get some great drops occasionally, so you're not always finding something better. What I mean is... every now and then I should find a great helm or something that lasts 5-10 levels instead of coming across a better one around the next corner. We'll see how it plays out.

This was my biggest fear for the game. It also seems like as long as you put in some time, you'll get all the best loot. With PSO I put more than 400+ hours into that game and still had many things I didn't find.
The one saving grace is that you wont have to keep visiting stores to sell your trash. I always felt like someone collecting metal for recycling in these types of games. You would have to load up, head to town, sell your shit, and repeat. TH has done away with that process thankfully.

The whole review strikes me as he just wasnt enjoying it, and put the minimum time into it he felt he needed to get it written. That's ok though... if it's not working for you then it isn't working for you.
From the review:
So this is exactly the opposite of what i've been hearing from people who have played this game extensively.
Too much loot, don't really get that one, but if it's a problem to him then that's cool.
And the control issue, this is the big polarizing issue. Just from experience with the demo I disagree with his stance on the controls and have no problem doing some of the things he expressed frustration with pulling off
Have zero problems with this.
Otherwise it's a valid review. I see the basis of all his complaints, they're just not as severe and the good still outweighs the bad for me. I guess I will really find out when I get it and sink some time into it.

I actually believe that the issue is that of über-powered loot every time, all the time.
Diablo or even WoW is mayhaps the best comparison in terms of effective loot distribution: the common stuff that you can pick up at any given encounter is worthless and cheap, but every once in a while you get a big shiny sword or rifle and that is so much more rewarding.
Within Too Human (judging by the demo and online game play videos), you get a constant barrage of high-powered items that differ very little in terms of their attributes - and even if they do differ greatly, you won't really care, because you also get blueprints that allow you to build even stronger items, that all look pretty much the same combination of gold and silver.
Add all this up with the sub-par inventory management system and slow menus... You get the idea.

While I won't disagree with the reviews, don't let them deter you from getting the game. If you liked the demo and the type of game this is, buy. I'm gonna try this and if it clicks then I might cave in and buy. Some of the bugs mentioned in the review are quite disheartening though.

TOMOROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
YEAH!
YEAH!
Recent events aren't exactly painting a positive or encouraging picture.
At this point I think the best I can hope for, personally, is to find the game fun despite its flaws, like past SK games, and similarly filled with heart.
Does it hit tomorrow, only ship?

Mine said probably Wednesday, but would call me if they got in on Tuesday. Thing is when they have shipment date like this I almost always get it on Tuesday. CC and Best Buy on the other hand is a different story.

If you are going to subtle troll in here you might as well go to the other thread where you are having your song and dance anyways. Troll free thread best stay that way.

Yes. Since you are getting loot so often you are updating in smaller increments. So you dont see a dramatic change in your new equipment. It not so much drops but how they handle the increase in stats that is important. If the loot system is setup too generous each replay will get less interesting because you know what youre going to get.
My hope is there is some very rare high slot armor and ruins that will take a more than a couple play throughs(sp) to find. Some ultra rare goofy shit ala PSO would also be cool.

If that's the case, then it seems like you are given the freedom to dress your character as you like, choosing style over things that differ very little in terms of attributes. Also seems like runes would allow you to create gear you want for your character.
Speed and interface of the Inventory didn't bother me, but again I see how it would bother some people.
The way I played the demo was NOT to check my inventory every time I pick something up. I gather for a while and check it sporadically. I equip whatever is best at that point and salvage anything I know I don't want. That's how I play most games of this type.
So I don't really see this being a huge problem for me. It might be for people who compulsively check mid fight as soon as they hear an item pickup sound.

dude i wasn't even trolling in the review thread, why would i troll here?Jtyettis said:
plus what made me post that is reading U K Narayan's post in the review thread, then reading this post. the guy is staying positive, i liked that.
EDIT:

dude -_-" read my other post in the next page, and stop.
1Up pulled a Gaming-Age with Too Human -- give it to some unknown reviewer, and have them hand it an unflattering C- so nobody known has to deal with the backlash. Kind of gutless, but if they felt like they needed someone more detached from the situation then perhaps it is understandable. Maybe it's a bigger insult is that they didn't think it was worth a look from a full-time reviewer.
From what I gather, you can't play through co-op the first time through. You cannot select a co-op level without first completing it in the 1-player campaign (page 18 of the instruction manual). Not an awful design, but I'm not sure why they really did it -- just so they could force you to watch the cutscenes?

While I'm not as sensitive myself, surely you can see how "clinging" could be interpreted as a negative connotation.
You know, maybe the reviewers are right; this is not a good game.
However, it is hard to take them seriously when one thinks the game is still 4 player co-op, one thinks it's possible to get to level 50 on your second playthrough, and another writes a 658 word review that offered relatively no insight into his opinions.
Do game reviewers really have no time to finish games anymore?

Can anyone confirm this? If this is true, the game immediately goes into the no-buy zone. I buy and play games like this exclusively for the co-op. I have more than enough quality single player games to keep me busy. What really stands out for me are quality (re: fun) co-op games.
But if I can't play this co-op without going through it single player, then forget it. Not even going to bother.

ONLINE MULTIPLAYER
Create Match
To start a new multiplayer match, choose a starting point from the levels you've completed in campaign mode, pick your loot distribution type, and make the game public or private.
Now maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it sounds like you cannot pick a certain spot or level as a starting point until it is completed in 1P. On the bright side, it seems to imply that you can pick mid-level starting points so you don't have to play a level from start to finish every single time.
