Well I cancelled my Too Human pre-order Monday. I don't base game purchases on reviews generally but after getting burned by Haze and seeing the incredibly mixed reviews for Too Human I decided not to risk my $60. It wasn't so much the scores as it was the faults named in most of the reviews, the pacing and length in particular. With emptiness between battles and the game only being approx. 10 hrs. long I just decided to spend my money on more of a sure thing, The Orange Box for the 360 (and put the rest on other reserves). I'm sure I'll still at least rent Too Human but with so many potentially great games coming I want to be sure before I put down my hard earned cash.

I think it was a good decision since I got The Orange Box for about $24.00 and Portal has proven to be all it was said to be. I'd already played Half-Life 2 which is why I waited so long to get it but I'm already happy with the purchase.

Well that's all for now my friends. If anyone has played Too Human I look forward to seeing what you think of it, let me know.

I write down games that I want on a list and then add notes; Too Human was on my list, my note- only when prices drop.

WalkingP: Good strategy. I'd figure renting or buying after the price drops or getting it used would be the best way to go IMO.
CQuark: I actually thought the demo was ok but if there's only 10 hrs. of gameplay and it has alot of "empty" parts I just don't think I'm prepared to put down $60 on it.

Yea, I heard Too Human was Too Lame from two of the guys` at work so I`ed rent it first instead of blowin $60 bucks! The Orange Box is SO MUCH BETTER! Talk to you soon buddy, btw, nice banner man!

manhunt: Thanks! The banner is something I borrowed and just added my profile to. I hate that I have to wait until March for RE 5

. But yeah I'll either rent Too Human or wait for it to get down around $30 or less to buy it (probabaly rent). Take it easy man.

Hey, you're not alone, bro. I also didn't bother picking up Too Human. Read the reviews, played the demo, and I really wasn't impressed. It doesn't look like a terrible game, just the fact that it was in development for all these years and it shows up like a love/hate type of acquired taste, well, I'll wait for Mercs II. Manhunt40: Too Human is Too Lame. LOL. Good one, bro.

War_Martyr: Yeah I had high expectations for this game and it's pretty clear it's not going to live up to those. I'm picking up Mercs II as well, my son was wanting it but I'm looking forward to it as much as he is

. Good to hear from ya' man.
