Sometimes I wonder if I am the last journalist on the planet that still has some hope for Too Human. It’s been a long ride for Denis Dyack and Silicon Knights, and its all about to culminate this Tuesday when Too Human hits store shelves for the Xbox 360. Today, in an interview with Kikizo, Dyack mentioned something that doesn’t necessarily jive with all the previews for the game thus far. He said that Too Human has the propensity to last up to eighty hours if players are willing to put in some effort:
First play through is probably around fifteen hours, I guess, it depends. To get to level fifty, it's anywhere from fifty to eighty hours. It's a lot! There's a lot there to want to dig! And to get all the epic loot - I don't even know if it's possible to get everything in the game, it's probably not - not for a single person. We've got a pretty big team testing, and all of Silicon Knights is testing, and just last week I found a combo that I'd never tried before, and that's a major part of the game.
Switching from gameplay time to mechanics. Sometimes I think Mr. Dyack should run for President. My question is, after the initial “fifteen hours” of play, will there be any reason to pick up the title again? Dyack has made clear that saves from the game will port to the next game in the trilogy, but will it release within this decade? How many of you are going to pick Too Human up and play until the epic level 50?

I just didn't like the demo.
I dont like that kind of grind...

15 hours of gameplay on the first run through isn't bad. I was thinking it'd be more since it's an RPG, but whatever. I'd rather have a shorter and better game than a drawn out bore fest.
Here's a tip, a lot of us don't play games for the amount of items they have. Hey, have another - don't build your story into a trilogy before people have even played the first you cunt. Why does everything have to be a franchise with x number of gaems, spinoffs and merchandise planned out well ahead of time, I don't like it.
I think it could be fun, because I dont have a whole lot of time to sink into an RPG.
Games like Mass Effect and KOTOR bore the hell out of me. I simply hate those kind of new, overly complicated RPGs. Still, this is all personal taste. I can see the game seems to be well done at a quick glance, whether that remains true for the whole picture, I'm not sure. Also, Dennis Dyack is a fucking douche, but I didn't really let that bother me in terms of the game. I was pretty anxious to try this game out for its own sake for a while.
What I am curious about though is what the people who do like Mass Effect and KOTOR think about this game. Perhaps my distaste for the game isn't merely due to personal taste, maybe it really does blow chunks.
I didn't enjoy the Too human demo. I found it too clunky, too unintuitive, too cluttered and too uninteresting.
So no, it isn't just you.
Have you actually tried the game? It reeks of awful design.
Go fuck yourself.

A lot of people do play loot-hunting games. Just like at Diablo 2 or WoW for shining examples. This game seems to be quite similar to Diablo minus all the *click* *click*.
Now forget this cyberviking nonsense and get to work on the next Eternal Darkness, Denny.
I tried the demo. I didnt think it was as bad as people say. The menu isnt complicated, I figured out the two gun conundrum quickly enough, the camera wasnt sucky to me( after ninja gaiden: black) and I had a good time throughout. I would say that the design is different, although not awful. Its different from what everyone expects, so it turns people away. It's easy to say the game is divisive and I respect others opinion to not like it, but I wouldnt mind playing it through, from time to time.
anyways, i liked the demo, it's not the most epic of all games ever made or anything but i'm a diablo fan and it's like that with guns so i'm game. i'll be havin' it NEXT tuesday (not this tuesday) because that's when it comes out.
Also, I am a huge dork, so at work I was deciphering the runes on the pre-order bonus thing. I wonder if there'll be any easter eggs with those.
How some of you morons say it won't be worth 50-80 hours from the short demo I don't know. personally I can't wait to did in!
