Is he spewing words without knowing the definitions or is he really that off the mark?

Jesus, just stop talking already Denis. You're only digging the hole deeper. You're about eight feet away from hitting magma.
Can I just say that his name is spelled Penis, with a 'd?' Maybe because his parents told themselves they'd raise him up to be a dick? I dunno...
Also, the controls ruined the game. End of story. I might know more about the game through the demo, but the controls were trying too hard to be different that they sucked. They sucked Denis... no, scratch that, Penis. Yeah, I get those two mixed up...

this is just like lair, the poor silly gamers just could not grasp the next-gen control scheme that one used to fly around. must be hard to create such amazing games for fools like us.
i had high hopes for this game. the demo sucked, controls suck, that means one thing, the game sucks
Well dennys can't go on being honest n say:
"Well guys you know what, I will stop lying and just straight out say it. The game sucks, don't waste your money, its been a wasteful 3 years of my life so don't buy it, I will just get fired and move to a hobo home somewhere in LA. Thanks for all your non-support"
"XOXO & Kisses"
So yea, you made your shitty product, you gotta sell it somehow. yes, lying is a key to it.

Bah, I miss Jack Thompson. At least THERE was someone who was truly a dick. I mean, I hated the Too Human demo too, and Dyack does seem to talk a lot of shit, but at least he's making games. He's on "our" side. This current feud Jim's got doesn't have the same venom to it. It kinda feels like the next Batman film will feel like without the Joker. Riddler? No thanks.
Haha, this game is getting mediocre reviews everywhere and they all point out ridiculously basic flaws in the game. For example, I've seen it mentioned that cut scenes don't play in co-op mode, and that randomly named monsters can have a different name for each player. What the FUCK?
Other things turn me off like mention of how the story is poorly told and you need some prior knowledge of Norse mythology to understand it properly. Also on the subject of story, I think Gamespot said it took about 10 hours to complete and was anti-climactic with little to no drama. Maybe Dennis Dickfat should have given Too Human a self-contained story instead of splitting it into three under developed parts and stuffing them with useless shit so he could tout it as 80 hours of gameplay or whatever horseshit he was spewing at that moment in time.

I'll be approaching this game like a good old Diablo or a sidescrolling brawler. Non stop fighting! Also i'll be playing co-op the whole thing so it's gonna be pretty badass.
You know what? I'd actually like to debate Denis on his own argument.
Denis- if your game is so innovative and so different that an overwhelming population of your audience finds it mediocre at best, then you've failed at making a video game. You may -however- have made a brilliant, multi-million dollar budget art piece. But the point of making a video game is not to challenge us to the point that we despise you (or more accurately, your game) for it.
So I'll concede that I don't like Too Human because I don't understand it if, and ONLY IF, you'll admit that you don't understand the video game industry.

So basically, Denis is saying we're all dumb fucks
Yeah, nice way to alienate your target market.
The irony is that one of the reasons I didn't like the demo was because it wasn't innovative at all. It's everything we've seen before. Loot dropping = WOW, levelling up = every RPG under the sun, character classes = every RPG under the sun
You get the idea.
I feel sorry for the Silicon Knights PR team with Dyack just going off on a rant all the time. Poor bastards

I have not played Too Human. I have no desire to play it. I have no interest in the title either, even from the "viewing a train wreck" angle. Do I not get it?
One thing is certain: I don't care.

I really tried hard to defend what SK was doing with this game, but I think this officially seals the game's fate. Dyack and his team were just plain WRONG. The game cannot be good if he needs to come up with such stupid dribble as this.
Sorry, Denis. No sale for me. Mercs 2 here I come!

Is this the Emperor's new clothes argument?? I think Hans Christian Andersen did it better.
He's trying anything to sell the game now, sad to see.

So Denis is saying we're all too stupid to comprehend the greatness that is Too Human...
I smell Time Cube follower, those people like saying to everyone that they are stupid and evil because we deny Nature's Harmonic 4 simultaneous 24 hour days within a single rotation of Earth.
Is it possible that Too Human has Cubic Nature?

The customers are too stupid to 'understand' our game. Excellent!, you can't buy PR like that!
I don't hate the game I just don't give a shit. Looks like a Multi-million-bland-fest.

"It's ironic, it just shows that human nature of if you don't understand something, you immediately attack it."
So, our reaction to Too Human is too human?

It's getting to the point where you can tell a games quality by how little the makers talks about it. Good games speak for themselves. When people like this start spewing offensive nonsense you know you have a stinker.
Right... because coming out with Diablo a decade after the fact is 'innovative'.
You know... sometimes I'd like to be able to see Dyack's point of view, but I don't think I'm flexible enough to get my head that far up my own ass.

Is this game actually out yet? You all talk as if it's been released some time ago, yet the article says otherwise.
At its core it's a decent dungeon crawler that's doing some pretty cool stuff.
However, using the right analog stick for combat instead of camera was its undoing. They tried something "different" and it backfired. Should have been caught in playtesting sessions as completely unusable, but I'm guessing DD didn't listen.

Oh, come on, the guys who made Lair stepped into this bucket, it's amazing that someone with a mind that produces such great innovation would want to follow in their steps.
In that case there's no way our pitiful mortal minds will be able to comprehend Too Human 2: Not Quite As Human, But Still More Human Than Was Expected.
I thought I didn't like it because it was stiff, poorly animated, and had a bad camera to boot. Was I mistaken?
never thought I'd quote a poker movie on a gaming blog but...

Hi Denis. Welcome to the table.

Hi Denis. Welcome to the table.
I'd planned to get it, seemed like some very mindless hack and slash. Point at enemy, enemy dies, loot and continue. But this Dyack guys atittude just pisses me off.
I've known two people like this guy, and it always annoyed the ever loving hell out of me.
There is no way I'm going to buy this.

well at least it will take another 6-9 years for the too human sequel to come out. maybe they can spend that time on some new innovations like jumping and double jumping
How did this Jim/Dyack feud start again? All I see is acid flavored hate spewed from Jim's keyboard like Dyack murdered his child, raped his mother, and shit in the iced tea when he was done. Dennis Dyack runs his mouth, but it seems like everyone is personally insulted by it. Calm down.
I liked the game better eight years ago when it was Diablo II; wake me when Too Human's dropped to $20 or is bundled with some other C-list game in a 360 holiday bundle.
I admit that Dennis really should put a cork in it, but if you spent 10 years putting your heart and soul into a project, won't you defend it too?
Besides, I like the game. I actually do think its innovative: the storyline is interesting, the cybernetic spin on the old Norse myth is clever and the whole game is just pretty to look at.
I like how the combat controls work, the loot drop makes the game addictive and finally I love watching the Valkyries come to retrieve my dead ass, because they also sucker punch any enemies near me with their wings. Classic move.
Everyone is going to see this game differently. GamePro gave it a 4 out of 5 and IGN gave it 75 out of 100. Those aren't bad scores.

The controls aren't really innovative either...Death By Degrees had a similar fight system and in a lot of ways is more fun (and the moves have more depth).
