Too Human...or Too Broken?

Yeah yeah yeah, I know it's a little late to FINALLY be trying out Too Human, but I figure later is better than never. While some may say that trading in Need For Speed Pro Street for some trade-in towards Too Human might be some part of me trading in a broken game for a broken game, I've gotta say this: I enjoy Too Human. Is the camera frustrating? Fuck yeah. Are my teammates on single player useless? Fuck yeah. Do the levels last WAAAAAAY too long? FUCK YEAH!!! My God, I'm five hours into the fucker and I'm only past the second area...which was about 3 of those 5 hours!!! THAT'S A HUGE DUNGEON!!!
However, as a loot whore professional (I'm in full epics and legendaries already, and I feel like I haven't even found the tip of the iceberg yet), this game nurtures my loot whore needs that WoW or Warriors Orochi just doesn't fulfill. I remember playing the demo and thinking "man, this game is gonna be so much fun, and hey, look at all this purple!!!". Now, after my first session with the game, I feel like "man, my dood just fucked those goblins UP, and look at all this purple!!!". There are a ton of things Too Human has going for it, while there are a ton of problems with it.
The biggest problem: I don't give a shit about the story. Let me skip the cutscenes sooner. I'll just Wiki the damn story. Whatever happened to "hey, this dood is bad, fuck some shit up and get loot"? Yeah, the whole juxtaposition of Norse mythology to futuristic setting is cool...but seriously, I just don't give a damn. I want to kill massive amounts of shit while playing collect-a-thon. The combat is pretty fucking sweet and easy to get into, which I like. However, there is a lot of depth in it if you are a veteran RPG player. Too Human has more stats to push than you can shake a leaf at, so you can easily customize your character to being a very specific type of play style. Still, the skill trees don't seem too...different. Of course, I'm not going to be playing a tanking class or a healing class because I'm not playing online and have no need for that shit. Who wants to honestly heal anyways?! I'm a fucking Berserker! I kill shit...and I kill it QUICK!!!
I haven't played with the ranged or balanced class yet, but I'll probably pick those up at a later time. From what I'm to understand, there isn't much of a difference and it doesn't really matter. Whatever. I'm a melee DPS kind of dood (look at every RPG I've ever played...it's what I do, and I do it well...although Finlee has been tanking on WoW for the last month or so and I'm enjoying that thoroughly.
All in all, Too Human ain't too shabby. It's still broken, but it doesn't suck for $25. = D
In other gaming news related to moi, I've been spending a little more time in the world of Azeroth lately. I got into a guild (something I've never really cared to do but realized I needed to in order to get more gear. We ran 25 man Naxx the other night, and I realized just how SIMPLE the raids are now compared to pre-LK content. It kind of makes me happy that you can clear two wings of Naxx in two hours...but at the same time, I remember how the original 40 man Naxx from classic WoW was still crippling at level 70 in BC!!! I've also been working more on my Death Knight, and at level 68, I can say that the class is pretty damn fun to kill shit with. There's a nice complexity to their attack rotations that keeps me interested more than when I rolled Arms or Fury on my warrior.
That is all. Piece, fools!!!
