I just put about three hours into this game, and I finished up the night by sealing Too Human back into it's Gamefly envelope, never to be played again.  Maybe I was spoiled by playing a ton of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction over the last couple of weeks, but I just couldn't get into it. 

I think the core gameplay is interesting, but the numerous issues and quirks were just too much for me.  Unresponsive menus, a crappy camera, lack of enemy variety, 15-20 second unskippable death animations...the list goes on and on.  No offense to anyone who is in love with this game, but I just don't get it. 

Is gameflew a word?  I'm inclined to think not but I guess it makes sense.  Regardless, I had the same experience playing it at a friends.  Trash in the can.

lol joker. Yeah I agree MB...I never had any intention on even wasting a gamefly on it, but if someone was interested and outright bought it, unless they are die hard into loot whoring and thats all they need in a game to continue playing it...I would expect many would be disappointed on their purchase.

I actually am a pretty serious loot whore.  If the menu and inventory systems were intuitive and fast, that may have made the difference for me.  Working with the inventory in this game is a nightmare, and it's something that has to be done constantly.

Whew, I was wondering what you had decided to do. Good call. You would probably have gotten only half it's worth if you had bought it full price and then traded it in.

Oh noes! It's the "google is a verb"-thing all over again. NOOOOO!

Anyway, I wish we had a Gamefly-like service here in Denmark. Guess we're not cool enough.

I have been waiting for this game, in one form or another, for probably 7-8 years. Very sad to see the state it released in. This one should have stayed in development Hell, unfortunately. :(

I don't see why everyone is complaining about the death cinematic... In 90% of other games you get a loading screen whilst you get taken back to a checkpoint or whatever... The game i played before Too Human was Conan, if you died 2 seconds after you get bought back to a checkpoint you have a 30seconds to 1 minute loading screen.. I'd count that as annoying.

Play online games and you have to wait a few minutes when you die... Get over it I say. The game has alot of annoying flaws (i still love it), but the death screen is by far the least annoying if you can call it that.

Yet in plenty of games other than Too Human and Conan you just go to a blank screen and are back in the game in 2 seconds...so its worth complaining about.

I actually kinda forced myself to play the game..it gets "better" the second time around. I mean by then you start getting the epic armor sets and such but I completely understand what you meant MB. The game is broken...I hope they do some epic changes to too human 2

The game can have it's moments, but honestly i'm quite enjoying it.  Once you figure out its systems it definately smooths out the balancing issues with boss fights and such.  I remember playing through the second level (the most difficult by far) with my commando and dying at least 75 times, on co-op.  Last night I went through solo in co-op mode with the same character but at level 50 and absolutely destroyed everything and anything.  Too Human is kinda like life, death is just inevitable sometimes.  Well, i'm about to start my 4th character class and i'm not going to say the game is great...well....yes, yes I am actually.   

I just picked this game up this past weekend and I'm loving every minute of it.  I already have a lvl 40 defender and I'm already have some decent (orange) armor for when I hit lvl 50.  My main problem now is trying to decide which class to play next.

The best thing is that there is still a very active online community for this game.  I can always find people to play with.

Hehe I didn't like it much either. I can see why some people thought it was allright, it just didn't do anything for me.

There were alot of things i really really liked about too human. But then again...i hated alot of other things.

Too Human was indeed really bad.

"Too Human not only has a horrible inventory system, even the action of collecting loot left me unfulfilled. Every single thing you pick up looks the same practically."
