Titanfall

[Kevlar]

Somehow no thread yet, beta is out right now and is supposed to be open beta sometime later today.

On my phone so I'll make this have info later once I am home.  Played the beta for a couple of hours the other day and thought that the game was okay but nothing really special, graphics didn't look all that good and the pacing felt weird. There wasn't a whole lot of weapons, maps or customization but that is most likely just due to beta.

At full price I wouldn't buy the game. Around $30 I might consider it but I'll probably wait until it's like $20.

Naah...Just another CoD with bots and mechs...

 

[Wellenbrecher]

Currently watching TB's video on it and while I was somewhat interested when hearing about it before, all I see there is rather boring to me.
Been there, done that. Oh, more CoD. With some huge cool mechs thrown in every now and then, admittedly. But no, no thanks.

 

[Vermillion_Hawk]

Yeah it's as everyone said. The lack of innovation is both surprising and unsurprising, what better way to revive a stagnating franchise than to insert robots and rebrand it. Hell, from what I've seen you even suck your blood back in in the exact same style as Call of Duty.

 

[Goker]

I never understood the public's astonishment with this game. From what I've seen, which includes video footage of beta gameplay as well, it seems quite boring to me. Just another game about two groups of gunmen running around and shooting people with mechs sprinkled on top so it's new.

 

[Kevlar]

With mechs sprinkled on top so it's new.

Pretty much, although I just seen this pic which seemed funny since it seems somewhat true of most complaints :

I'm honestly interested. It seems more like a MOBA/ARTS than a CoD clone. The grunts aren't just bots. You have abilities and **** and they affect grunts, titans, and humies differently.

The AI is pretty pointless and just makes up for the lack of players really. I have had times where I had walked right up to them and just started to melee them all without even getting hurt (ai is dumb).

 

[Splintert]

Is it by design or simply incomplete AI?

 

[romandude]

I'd play it. It looks like it would be fun on the MP side of things.

 

[Kevlar]

Is it by design or simply incomplete AI?

Not sure. Probably by design since all the AI does is run around and fight the other AI and you can just walk right up on them, I don't think I have been killed by an AI yet. Just finished a game where I only had two deaths and my first one was just me shooting a rocket to close to a wall :/

The AI is by design stupid. Look, that picture is a lie. Yes, all those amazing mechanics exist, too bad the primary point of the game is CoD gunplay. I've only used the freerunning aspects for getting to a fight. When you're in a gun fight, you don't have time to use them because this is CoD where time to kill is < 0.5 seconds.

You've all said it's "Like CoD". I'm curious to to what makes a CoD, or are we just lumping every shooter in the last decade under the same blanket?

"It's got guns! It's just CoD"

 

[Goker]

"It's a fast-paced multiplayer twitch shooter in small maps with small teams" is what people mean by "It's CoD".

You forgot terrible graphics, it is what makes a cod game.

 

[Sartek]

I have been quite enjoying it so far.

Played like less than 2 hours.

Suck at pilot gameplay. Barely manage a positive K/D.

But Last Titan Standing mode, where everybody has only one life and when all titans are dead, the team loses.
First game I had 2 titan and 3 pilot games. Second game I had 5 titan and 2 pilot kills. Only one titan escaped my wrath

Wish they would increase the competence of AI though. Like TB said, give them tanks or something.

 

[Lerber]

When I say "Like CoD" I mean, "The gunplay is identical to Call of Duty, as in, if you were not told the name of the game, you might say, 'Is this Call of duty?'"

 

[Cioss]

true point

 

[Goker]

Ugh, not really. He says two theme parks are not the same just because they both have rollercoasters but doesn't seem to realize that people are comparing two rollercoasters with different quirks. They give pretty much the same experience.

Mechs, parkour, double-jump, customization is what he lists as differences. Goes on to say the comparison between Call of Duty and Titanfall is non-existent. What?

 

[Kevlar]

Doesn't feel like call of duty enough though, not enough bs kill streaks and stupid items.
