This genre is always a tough review category. Even the godly Diablo 2 only scored in the 80s.

These days I pay no attention to what review score is, rather read the review and see why the reviewer nit picks at the game design.

Of course. Especially with the way Too Human is getting reviews all over the place.

The internet drama over Too Human continues...

EDIT:

Also, average score of 70% doesn't mean that game "sucks". It's just... mediocre.

I still usually find myself agreeing with (some) reviews.

Apparently it's part of a planned trilogy. I read on wikipedia something about an "advancing machine army," and the Matrix came to mind :/

Anyone actually played the game? Your thoughts? I'm interested in Norse Mythology, so I wanna know how bad they screwed this up.

Just came up with this as the trilogy: Too Human, Almost Human, Human.

I hear the Norse part of it feels weird as its in a futuristic setting. The end decision to make is whether or not you want to play a hack 'n' slash.

I made the mistake of buying Hellgate London at full price because of all the hype....look where it's at now

I stopped pro-ordering games because of that. I'll wait for a couple of reviews of Merceneries 2 before I pick it up (which, as it looks now, people really like it :3 )

Too Human is an okay game but it has just too many little niggles that keep dragging it down and making it a frustrating experience.

Perhaps the worst is the unskipable animation when you die, and you will a lot.

I know... what a shame. It's that kind of **** that proves piracy can't be blamed for everything.

Kirby, i'm looking forward to that game too if not just for the Coop. Between Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Left 4 Dead, Alien Colonial Marines, and Mercenaries 2 I'm so amped for the rest of this year if not just to be able to go coop with people. Such an extremely underused game-mode.

I'm hoping that one turns out well too. Seems like a good shoot **** up game.

I was planning on buying it for $19.99. Is it that bad?
