The currency is the tag and metascore is the metric - don't try to change the bet. All those "for" and "against" get their tags changed. To all the mods - pick your meta score. Here is some troll reference from your camp to save you time:
Haze (PS3) Avg Ratio: 57%
Lair (PS3) Avg Ratio: 56%
Don't go to high or you may show your true colors.No more crying, no more trolling, just pick. I would suggest the tag stay for 6 months but I am pretty easy on that.
The "Against" seem in the minority so it should not take you too long to change the tags.
What is wrong with you? This is like something Uwe Boll would do.
If the game actually does turn out crappy, they should change your tag to the Uwe Boll of gaming.

Seriously, I still can't decide if GAF's reaction to this thread is amazing or downright sad.
On one hand, you have one hell of a show. Someone set a panda on fire, threw him on a unicycle, put him on the back of a crocodile going down niagara falls. The stuff internet dreams are made of, surely.
On the other hand, a lot of folks seem to be twelve shades of butthurt. It's like Dyack raped your mother whistl pissing on your cheerios and fist-fucking your dog with a torch. Strangely enough, this seems to go by just fine here.. dare I say, it's almost encouraged.
It's one hell of a ride, I tell you (not that I actually need to tell you, you should have figured it all by now).

Man, I'm mad I missed this thread's beginnings.
Is it worth reading through?

It really seems to be the forum regulars that are taking this way too seriously...
This is the internet for christ's sake. One bet... over a tag.
Choose the meta score and man up.
FOR
EDIT: Also the 90% thing is retarded. So if the game gets 89% it's "crap"? Remember, that's what the whole bet is about. Denis is simply stating why he's confident that he'll win the bet. He thinks Too Human is their best game and will thus get higher than ED at 90%.... I think 80% would make far more sense.
(Not that below 80% is crap in my opinion.... but you know GAF won't touch a game below 80)

I hope he does because the lulz, they would be out-fucking-rageous.
So now we're going to put scores against this thing?
OK. (using Eternal Darkness as a baseline)
AGAINST*
*Where Metacritic score is < 90% in two weeks after game release, Too Human fails, even if it scored a 89%.
This is why I find these things funny, you can stretch the argument one way or another.

Personally, I don't own a 360, and I'm not likely to get one for this game, so whether the game does well or poorly makes little difference to me. That said, Eternal Darkness has a metascore of 92. If Too Human is your best game, it should be above that. Haze and Lair are really bad choices for benchmarks.
Given that a score of 92 is rather unlikely for any third-party game without months of hype, I'd say you should give it a cushion of about 5 points, i.e. 87 is a good number for this contest.
P.S. If I get a 360, I might pick this game up, maybe after playing a demo.

Wait so you say your game will be one of the best games this year and well received yet you put it up against arguably the worst two games for the PS3 this Gen. So in order for your game not to be a disaster it has to be a less disaster than the biggest disasters. Gotcha!Dyack said:
I say we stick with 90% deal. okok 85% to make it fair since most are either claiming 80 or 90% metacritic scores should be our guide.

I think Too Human looks like it could turn out alright. The graphics and art style are ugly, the false promises are a shame and I am a big skeptic when it comes to twin stick melee combat (it just makes no sense at all). I have it preordered and do plan to buy it, and despite my critisms of it, it is basically Diablo in the future with norse stuff going on, that has to be mean something.
As for how Dyack is acting in this thread, I think that it was a mistake. I would not avoid a game because of how stupid the developers act, I did buy Dementium on DS despite Gamecock acting like a dumbass, but I'm sure there are a lot of people that would do that. Just like how a country would be seen as stupid if the leader/president acts like a loon, same goes for a game company. I mean, if you have someone acting as daft as Dyack as in this thread, you do have the thought cross your mind that maybe something is making him act this way. Hopefully none of the crap going on in this thread affects the games reception critcally or financially, and I think the game is close enough to being out that nothing on the development side could be messed up; that is unless there is going to be some hate in Too Human for neogaf or something like that.

Years of negative Hype.
Haze and Lair are fucking shit.
This has been in development for the better part of my life.
If you want to look at decent scores, for this game a decent score is mid 80s on metacritic, no less.
If it were me I'd base it on EDGE's score, 8/9/10 Dyack wins, everything else, the haters win.

Too late for this thread, but maybe not the next one you feel like creating or getting involved with?...

Thank you guys for the laughs. Dyack seems to have little real confidence in TH if he wants to use the meta scores for Haze and Lair (worst games on PS3) as reference scores. Otherwise, he must be really high on something.

This thread has been very insane and entertaining. Its stuff like this that make me addicted to this forum (mostly in a lurking form). I'm not for or against Too Human. Everything i see doesn't really interest me, but i might rent it to try it out for myself.
