NeoGAF Bans 'Too Human' Creator, Denis Dyack

Posted by Brian Leahy - Tuesday, August 19, 2008 2:09 PM

Remember when Too Human (Xbox 360) creator Denis Dyack bet the internet that Too Human would be a good game and that a majority of gamers would like the RPG game?

Seems like things have gotten out of hand over at NeoGAF since the original bet was made, and Mr. Dyack has managed to get himself banned from the gaming forum.

Will the game live up to Dyack's hype? Find out tonight on an all-new X-Play when Adam and Morgan review Too Human. Tune in to G4 at 8PM ET.

Want to see the message written by NeoGAF moderator EvilLore? It's full of anger! Internet anger!

He writes:

As Confucius once said, “the photoshop cat juggles a ball of yarn, and unravels it all over his face.” You are Baldur, Denis. You’re the poorly animated bald Norse technogod, the Übermensch with a thousand pointless book references misunderstood by the dirty proles who aren’t worthy enough to judge you.

Your favorite Nietzsche quote, “he who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster,” is one you’ve fallen victim to yourself, if your opinion of this site is to be taken to heart. In these pitiable confrontations with us you’ve proven to be the monster of gaming development, a sore on the industry and a squanderer of your subordinates’ time and effort. Through all this, through this self-inflicted PR nightmare, you’ve conquered vast new frontiers of unwarranted hyperbole and desperate pseudo-intellectual grasping. Buy an unaccredited doctorate, change your given name to Derek, and take up the reins; Derek Smart would eagerly defer to the greatness of Dr. Dyack.

What is an appropriate action to take in response to the man who continues to post here? I won’t be tolerating a second retconned “social experiment,” a second call for NeoGAF’s closing, or a second “worst forum” insult. You decided to ignore the option for real terms for your pointless tag bet, so with the majority of reviews condemning your magnum opus to mediocrity I’ll claim a suitable prize by telling you to get the hell off NeoGAF.

OUCH. Ice burn. It's always an odd day when a forum moderator unleashes this much hate on a legitimate game developer.

That's funny... Now that the reviews are coming in I am not expecting much from Too Human any more.

Gamespot- 5.5
Gameinfromer- 6.75
Teamxbox- 6.5
IGN- 7.8

I played the demo and it was one big piece of crap.

Be sure to check out X-Play tonight for our review.

L-To the fu3king-OL. That guy got owned in so many ways. X-play better give it a 3, but I wouldn't be surprised with a 4.

Posted by Tmidiman - Tuesday, August 19, 2008 3:35 PM
Whatever. I liked what I played so far and look forward to playing the rest of the game.

The video I saw for the game a while back didn't look all the impressive. The game play footage I saw early on looked stiff and unrealistic. The demo I played not too long ago (but didn't finish as I lost interest) was... fair at best.

This game isn't bad, but it sure as hell is a long arse way from being a great game.

Good. He deserved it. Even as an Xbox fan, thats hilarious...

But, but, but, but I thought Neogaf was where all the cool kids hung out. Haha, righhhhht, sounds more like a joke forum. Can't take the heat get out the kitchen.

I'm definitely not saying that the game is good, but I’m not saying it's bad either. I'm gonna say though that Neogaf is clearly full of babies. It's such a joke reading that stuff. No wonder why people in the industry complain about immature people like that ruining the games. These are exactly the type of people you must or even quit playing games on line because of.
"I don't like what you're saying about me so now you are band from my super secret awesome clubhouse" WAAA WAA WAAA!

I have yet to play the demo for this game. And I probably wont. Just doesnt appeal to me and its not worth trying to talk my friends with 360s into DL'ing it. But that aside. With G4 being the way they are. Im sure Too Human will scrape a 4 at a minimum, if not a 5. 360 needs this game to be good. Its all ppl have been talking about for idk how long as far as whats coming out soon. And G4 is in no way going to let M$ down. G4 has yet to do so.

G4 knows the 360 needs this game and will show their bias (or atleast Morgan will) and promo the game. Whether it deserves it praise or not.

I think Too Human was an OK game but not a mind buster like the first time when i played Gears of War

Posted by mentalblock91 - Tuesday, August 19, 2008 5:18 PM
i think we may have a new peter molyneux

Posted by Tasomo - Tuesday, August 19, 2008 6:26 PM
No, Dyack is definitely NOT a new Molyneux.

Molyneux does make promises he can't ever back up, just like Dyack...but Molyneux doesn't troll websites and make himself look like a total ass in front of the world like Dyack does.

Dyack's just a clown.

I don't know bout you guys but game deserved a weak to middle 3 not a "strong" 4. Wow,but seriously a "strong" keyword being strong 4?

Posted by TheAuracle - Wednesday, August 20, 2008 4:53 PM
I think Dyack was simply defending himself; his mistake being that he clearly let his emotions and NeoGAF's flock of sheep get the better of him.

Dyack goes against the grain and against the ideals of the flock/huddled masses on NeoGAF and ends up being made an example of. It's things like this and dealing with the flame wars on EVERY SINGLE FORUM AND THREAD that prove to me that most of the gaming community have lost touch with what's golden: playing games with friends and having a good time.

This game is crap!

Posted by Syrionus - Wednesday, August 20, 2008 10:32 PM
If you liked Diablo 2, then you are going to love this game. I have played for 8 hours straight and I haven't played a game that long in a while.

Too may people want the game to fail because of the Denis Dyack. Judge the game, not the maker.
