Considering the genre, playstyle and art direction I am actually surprised that it scored so high. I played the demo and I loved it but I know this game isnt for everyone. Some guys I know approached the demo as a TPS and were very disappointed, other thought it would be more fire emblem esque and were disappointed. Others didnt like the very overt American theme and were disappointed. Others loved it and bought it day 1!

The gaming landscape today is that if a game doesnt conform to certain archtypes it will be scored very low by certain parities because they cant ger past their disappointment with the game not being what they wanted or just not bothering to learn the playstyle.

I am happy with that score because it indicates to me a quality experience but buyer beware it may not be your cup of tea.

From here on in I will refer to you as GamingFan simply because only he is dumb enough to not figure out the "edit" button.

GF, there is a difference between an opinion and a statement. An opinion is a personal preference ie- I feel ,,,

I feel that Too Human wasnt as bad as bad as people make it out to be. - see what I did there. You made an unequivocal statement;

"crash banicoot >;dk
jak and daxter trilogy >; metroid prime trilogy"

The difference is what makes it trolling.

BTW how is it that you can make a new account and have your rep drop so fast?

I have a feeling that he is GamingFan in disguise trying to prove some nonsensical point of his.

Even if he isnt this guy is a die hard pony, the only way he can feel good about his purchase is to put down someone else's.

Lets not give this guy a crusade to fight for. DO NOT RESPOND TO HIM, at this stage he is just trolling. It is so obvious it is painful.

Funny how a game like this is scoring HIGHER than the latest AAA offerings. I must check if I am living in bizaro world.

Hold up guys Now the GG thing aside I actually see this as a good thing. Allow me to explain, one of the easiest ways to gain presence in the social mind share is through controversy. Sure Nintendo "Will" lose some sales but in the long run you will have a segment which will wonder what all the fuss is about and either download the demo game, buy it or at least be talking about it. There will also be another segment IE the media, who will undoubtedly pick this up to defend WW. The possibility of using this to enhance sales or presence is enormous.

Also there is another thing to consider, GG is a relatively new thing. STEAM has probably been in development much longer than GG. I wouldnt be surprised if the VA's were recorded way before that. Nintendo also NEVER advertised that he was in the game which for a celebrity is kind of odd so this indicates that they were aware what was going on.

It is unfortunate that people are getting upset about this issue but ladies and gents that is politics. Dismissing their opinions even if we do not agree with them makes us weaker not stronger. Considering that a lot of people swore off EA then turned around to buy DA: I, I doubt this outrage will last. It's just a flash in the pan, a common occurrence with young passionate people.
