As a Diablo II lover, I have to say that I had a ton of fun playing Too Human. Sure, there are some huge problems with the game, but cumulatively I can say that this game was a blast to play.
Yes, most of the story was incoherent - despite this, I'm still sad that there isn't' going to be a sequel. Would've loved to take down Loki.
Too Human
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Aug 19, 2008
In this action-RPG from Silicon Knights, players take on the role of the Norse god Baldur, whose protective feelings towards humanity and refusal to augment his body with cybernetics lead the other Aesir to label him "too human".
Several years later....gotta say this game is fun
I was recently thinking of buying it. Then I bought Batman: AA instead. I think I made the right choice.
Yea, there is no question: AA is better than Too Human. Still, I thought the latter was pretty dang fun for all the hate. No problem, to each his own.
I disliked Too Human, to each their own I suppose.
I wonder if they will ever make a sequel considering it was suppose to be a trilogy. (probably not is my guess)
I loved this game, is it confirmed there is no sequel?
They got so much about this game wrong, but just the core combat is so perfect it makes up for it. The one major flaw missing is there no indicator ( other than feeling like a badass ) that you are playing well. The challenge stages end up being the best part just because you have something to gauge yourself on.
People should play Too Human just for the relevance of it's existence. Dude, that game was in development forever!
" @JJWeatherman said:But saying that I played Too Human at the time of its release. It was a piece of trash but some how with that game I could look past it flaws and find a really enjoyable experience. Only the very best of games can provide a great time in spite of its inherent shittiness." I was recently thinking of buying it. Then I bought Batman: AA instead. I think I made the right choice. "You did. "
Tis a shame, with a few changes the follow-up could've been rad.
Too Human is one of my guilty pleasure titles this gen.
It has a lot of bugs and odd design choices but I still really enjoy it. The only major thing I'd change is the long death cut scene.
Everything about Too Human seemed pretty good up until I actually tried to engage in combat. It was just plain awful.
I thought the storyline contained some interesting ideas and themes (a meditation on technology and its effects primarily) but equally it needed much better execution to be compelling, a complaint that could be raised against every aspect of the game. I wouldn't mind seeing the sequels as long as they're able to fix what was broken and deliver a coherent gaming experience. Or just make Eternal Darkness 2 already.
