Edit:  Anyway, why are people rating Too Human so low?  The demo felt very solid.  Giant Bomb says the story is good but the gameplay is weak.  Gamespot says the gameplay is good, the story is weak.  Ign claims the game has ps2 graphics.  etc.- wtf?   This feels like a hate train more than anything"
I actually checked out the download, and I thought the game had the worst combat I've seen in years. I killed enemies by swiveling the joystick while in the other room, and when I came back, I had full health. It failed right there.

"This is especially shitty after NeoGAF recently went out of their way to create and manage a hate-free pre-release thread.  They banned several people for trolling it, and wouldn't let people talk shit about the game until after it was released, and then they could give their opinions--however negative they may be--without sounding like assholes.  Dyack himself was posting there a bit recently, and then to go and call NeoGAF the worst gaming forum, and to do that when there are forums like gametrailers and gamefaqs.  There were a bunch of supporters on the site as well, and the mods were going out of their way to see that there was a place for those supporters to be free from the hate, and then he turns around and does this.

I say fuck Dyack, and his shitty three star game.  Here's another intellectual quote that is quite fitting: "It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt."  If Dyack still has a job after Too Human fails, I think he'd do well to remember that."
I agree, this is pretty ridiculous in general tbh.

just quoting what I've been told

either way, 4 years is a long time to make a crap game

I would pass out if someone like Will Wright joined. I know for a fact that I'm not alone in that.

Well, at least we have Jesus. He's a celebrity, kinda.

Wow, Dyack apparently isn't the only major figure at neogaf, David Jaffe weighed in on the whole situation earlier. How come gaf gets all the love? I don't recall anyone big ever mingling at gamespot.

Best part is, Dyack still won...This is more free publicity. All that idiotic forum drama got his game a lot more attention that it would ever have netted on its own.

Content. On GAF, at least the discussion is somewhat intelligent and the threads that deserve replies/discussion. Here, people go crazy over boobs.

Not that there's a problem with boobs, I just think developers would rather discuss video games where video games are the main topic.

Plus, GAF is a largely recognized forum. It doesn't really have any kind of alliance.

Care to post a link?  I'd like to read what he said.  And yeah, NeoGAF is somewhat well-known as a game developer hangout, so that's yet another reason why it was really lame for Dyack to put down the GAF after they were good enough to try and keep a handle on all the hate.

I wanna buy Too Human more now to support Dyack. He's the bomb.  I still dont know if my wallet can take a 60 dollar hit right now though. :( 

I enjoyed the demo.

These forums are vastly superior. We discuss such pertinent topics as hamburgers and the proper classification of cheesecake.

He brought this on himself.

Especially after his tirade on the 1up podcast on accountability in forums.

Those aren't the only devs that post there. One of the lead producers of the PS3/360 Turok is a mod. There are a couple of Blizzard employees (mostly in HR/non-dev roles), smaller indie devs such as Krome Studios and Sidhe interactive are represented. Also most of the major site (IGN, 1up, Gamespot) editors have accounts there. It's probably due to the number of users and posts and due to the fact that 1up.com's news wouldn't exist without the forum.

Is the Turok producer Bishoptl? He always seemed to show a soft spot for TH o.0

There are tons of major and minor developers and editors all over NeoGAF. You should have seen James Mielke responding to criticism of Giancarlo's review. Man that guy is like a high school freshman XD

Honestly I see no problem with it...he was asking for it. Plus I kind of hate NeoGaf because creating an account there is ridiculous...they never sent me a confirmation email and as many times as I asked I never got shit.

Although nobody at Silicon Knights has publicly "cried" or said anything at all about the review scores. I don't imagine they care much either. They all seem to enjoy playing their game, and they have at least two publishing projects besides Too Human (which Microsoft has already declared they will support to the end). They should be quite happy.

Hmmm from what i've heard of all this denis dyack stuff is that neogaf is one of the worst places on the net, where the owner him self actively pushes people to hate games and be all around fanboys...ect

Denis only fought againest this and was banned for reasons that nearly 99% of the users at neogaf should be banned for, he complained that owners, moderators...ect didn't follow the very rules they had set forth, so i think he had a point. But i knew this long ago i didn't join neogaf when it was first made casue of the caustic atomosphere there which infact is worse then gamestops system wars forums.

P.S: we need a game developer here, I pick the guy that made the crane game (old gamespot thread if you know what i mean)

The latest review scores show Too Human picking up
its score from the middle review scores it got yesterday:
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages4/928546.asp

I don't read NeoGAF but it seems if mods want to trash
game developers that post on their board, that it's not a
worthy for my attention.  The mods should ban themselves.

The only people that might find it funny are cows.

Mods had the right to ban him. He called their forum the worst forum, and bashed them even after they were right. If I am not mistaken, GAF has never, in history, banned a dev. That just goes to show how foolish Dyack really was being.

Hell he just went on record saying "Too Human is the most innovative game on the 360"... v_v'

You guys just don't get it.  Dyack intentionally set out to make Too Human an overwhelmingly average experience.  It was designed to evoke an emotional response in the player of "Yeah...this is ok, I guess."  He has achieved that goal, and it not being recognized for the artistic genius that went into it.  The frustration is understandable.

the community on NeoGAF takes itself way to seriously, and in the case of the post from Evillore yesterday it just came off as immature, and pathetic. Many of the user on NeoGAF should stop considering themselves this super influential cabal of forum members. Granted they have people who work in the game industry as registered users and folks from 1up bit at the end of the day its just another forum, and immaturity via anonymity is as rampant there as on any other forum.

yeah i think the post was moved this morning, perhaps because they realized how foolish it makes one of the mods look. then again would any site or forum want to have a temper tantrum accessible to the public?
