Denis Dyack in 1up yours. NeoGAF is "hurting society," justifies having it shut down

Have another fucking doughnut, Dyack.

I really hope people aren't stupid enough to fall for his faux-intellectual bullshit.

You know what Denis Dyack?

I am someone who has no opinion on your game because I haven't been following it. I've heard comparisons like "Devil may Cry mixed with Diablo", and if that's the case, I'm a big fan of the DMC series. With that in mind I should be a good target for your game right?

However, the more you speak and keep coming across as an angry, paranoid and bitter man who seems to want to wage war against the the idea of free discussion about videogames amongst those who play them (such as GAF members or people on other similar forums) the less likely I am to put a Too Human disc in my 360.

I swear, this GAF drama is like downloadable content for Too Human, except I didn't have to pay for it.

He has a point that there are asshats here who make ungrounded claims about games, and Too Human has probably been the biggest victim of those sort of asshats here at GAF because it's the "cool thing" to bash Too Human here, and it does suck for Silicon Knights that it is that way. But he does sound like a whiner there and I think he's being a little too general. GAF is going to be the downfall of society? Will GAF's antics against Too Human hurt the games sales? They probably will, the antics against the game have been pretty hardcore, and he has a point. But I think he goes a bit too far.

Here's the thing- if Too Human was released in a vacuum, it would probably be a fairly well received action game. But it's not being released into a vacuum. The game has been in development for like 10 years over like four different platforms at least, and instead of giving a boring standard answer like "we're working hard to make it the best game it can be, progressing well blah blah blah" Dyack, when asked, will make stupid claims and promise the moon. Well, it looks like the moon is not being delivered, so guess what Denis? You have set yourself up for all of this. You're to blame. Don't try and spread the blame to other people- when you basically bend over and say "kick me in the ass if this isn't the game of the ever!" don't be surprised when, well, you actually get kicked in the ass.

The guy needs to shut the hell up. There's a reason why the GAF is the most popular video gaming forum in the world. It's because there isn't anal censorship BS like Dyack is suggesting. This isn't some kiss ass forum where developers can seek to use the GAF as advertising means without consequence.

If you create something that people think looks shit, they'll say it. Is he trying to suggest that we shouldn't be allowed to do that? That mods should shut us up because it might hurt his sales much less his ego?

Come on. Stop whining already.

I'm officially no longer buying the game. Don't even care if it does turn out to be good. Seriously, I don't appreciate in-direct threats like this. The guys ridiculous.

I disagree with most of what he said, but what you are doing is only helping his case.

What a joke. Maybe he should spend his time refining his game than getting all hot and bothered by forum posts. Let your product speaks for you instead of the other way around.

This explains why he was targeting mods.

I don't understand his reasoning at all. Just sounds like to me he was pissed people were making gifs of him and ones mocking his game.

Okay so let me get this straight, he gets pissy and butthurt so he starts that one idiotic for or against thread. It completely backfires so MS talks to him so he can try and cover his tracks by calling it a goddamn social experiment?

Oh and
"I was basically calling out people who had no way of assessing the game,"

How about you Put Up a goddamn demo or shut up? Seriously, you are the one that came out to challenge everyone to assess your game without anyway to play it.

Seriously, just shut up and finish your game.

I don't want to wade through that giant thread, but didn't we basically conclude that Too Human is a 10 hour mediocre game?

Denis Dyack of Silicon Knights has also been known to post drunken rants in desperate attempts to gain respect both for himself and his games. As of the 2nd of July 2007 Dyack has been unsuccessful in gaining either, I mean, how could he be? Have you seen the animations in the Too Human intro video? Psht! Good luck defending that Denis.

I have a real interest in just trying out Too Human, but I don't want to support this guy.

Thank goodness for used games.

I had no idea that posting on GAF was why I was hurting society.

Here I thought it was the fact that I'd developed an elaborate rewards system by which I attribute points with road kill achievements.

Just so you know, I have the best avatars ever.
I like Denis, personally. I've interviewed him a few times, and he's been a delight to speak to. But...he goes off the rails sometimes, and takes things a little further than he should.
