Uh, hell no. Look at Gazunta and bishoptl, for example; their games got beat up by critics, and they haven't done any "for or against" stunts or spouted ridiculous pseudo-intellectual bullshit to justify dismissing the opinions of people who didn't like the games in question.
Which doesn't mean that crap like the MSPaint of Denis committing suicide is remotely defensible, but you're delusional if you don't think his handling of PR is largely responsible for the GAF backlash.

So what? He should slit his wrists because somebody at 1Up gave it a 7 instead of an 8?ElyrionX said:

Wrong, he insults people over his game, he blames eveyone else for his failures, goes on huge rants filled with pretentious waffle and assigns his game ludicrous qualities such as "changing the entire industry".
Maybe after this he'll learn this little thing called humility.
The 1up reviewer did not mention whether the game is a good dungeon-crawler.
Too Human is not an action game. Too Human is not an RPG. It's a dungeon-crawler. That is why SK I always threw around comparisons to PSO and Diablo.
Reviewers, compare the game to console dungeon crawlers such as Circle of Doom, Untold Legends, Champions of Norrath, Phantasy Star Online, Phantasy Star Universe, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance.
How does it stack up to them?
Any review that does not do that is worthless. Like reviews that said KUF was not a good RTS like it's prequels. No shit. The dev said it was a dungeon-hack like Diablo...not an RTS, not an action-game, and not a turn-based RPG.
Guess what PS3 fanboys. This game is better than any dungeon-hack that has been released for PS3 so far. Even KUF:Circle of Doom is better than your precious Untold Legends. That is how pathetic the state of this genre of games is on your system. You have nothing to gloat about.

And JohnTinker, you should go back and edit post 121. That stuff is bannable.
I think the 1up review was good, and it did help clairify some of the issues I had with the demo and hoped wouldn't be present in the full game (although on the loot front there seems to be some leeway as shown in the official thread). I will probably rent this when I get gamefly.

VERY good question. And I don't really know why I or anyone should care about these stupid scores. The so called videogame journalism (lol) failed so many times, why bother?
Father_Brain said:
I absolutely agree with your point, but to be fair Denis and Too Human were getting extensively trolled way before the demo even hit.
Also :lol at people who think the game is going be bomb, especially because of these reviews. There will be a few hundred people online who will point to these scores and not buy it, but the vast majority of people won't know or care about the scores. The game will be out before the mass market has a print review in their hands, it's been getting decent advertising, and they've got a pretty decent xbox.com splash page. The casual and mass market will see a 'cool-looking' game with co-op and guns and swords and shit, and eat it up. Dynasty Warriors gets donged on way more in reviews, and most, if not all of the entries in the main series clear a million sold in the US. I agree with the poster who said that this will sell well regardless, and a sequel is assured; however the sequel's success will depend on if people like this after picking it up or not. I've got a few friends at work who are in-between casual and hardcore (they own all systems, but don't browse extensively online or anything), and they all thought the demo was great and looked cool, and are going to buy it.
I'm still very curious what the other 2 EGMs score were though. We've seen lead reviews be much lower than the other 2 scores, so I'm curious if this was an across the board feeling or not.

Or maybe he knew and generating negative hype on the neogaf was a desperate attempt to gain extra sales?
I still think the saddest thing about the game is that the player character in the demo is clearly modeled after Dyack's face...something just so corny about that in a game like this :lol

Bad comparisson is bad, is not that Killzone 2 has assured millions of sales, is not that it received the major campaign of hype and marketing in a long time, it's not that it have one of the major budgets in history of gaming, is not that Killzone had that bad reviews, is not that it received a spin off that put the killzone name in the quality camp...
Any comparisson with the possible Too Human 2 is just pure fantasy...
Fable 2 and Fable is a much appropiate comparison...

I think what he meant was that the reviewer's bias against the game is as transparent as Shane's bias toward it.

you poor lambs, 1UP has set a trap and everyone fell for it 
all this controversy and conspiracy theories is only giving them more clicks and traffic than ever won't be surprised i every gaming site tries to capitalize on Too Human's reviews from some traffic.
...now ^ THAT'S how a conspiracy theory should read like :lol

And your point is....?
What has to do systemwars with this thread?
Do you think that a lot of the hate from this game come from PS3 braindead fanboys?

really dude?
I hope this is sarcasm, because that's just plain, well.... silly.
EDIT:Nah, must be sarcasm. This thread is just getting a little crazy. I think the sharks smell blood in the water.
There's no way to know if the reviewer would've given this a 4.5 if they were using a number scale. The whole staff frowns upon converting the grades to numbers (which defeats the switch to the letter scale).Zenith said:
Are you saying the reviewer came up with the number, then translated it to a letter grade? It just seems to go against what 1up reviewers have said in the past about the switch.
