Titanfall Looking a Flop.

[b]Less than a month later, I log back into this post to in a way, eat my words. Respawn already has my $60, and I'm quite a few hours in, so already it's better than I first thought. A huge thing TF has going for it is that there really is nothing else out right now. That being said, my second run at this game has shown me TF is like a beautiful, high class lady of the night. Here's why. 1.) Great to look at 2.) A machine in the sack 3.) Doesn't inquire about your past 4.) Easily accessible 5.) Fun to play with 6.) Brings in the money 7.) One trick pony [/b]I logged on last night and made it to character level 2 before I lost interest. The maps are devoid of color and all look the same washed-out hue. The addition of AI bots keeps you from knowing if a character is a real threat or a mindless drone that's almost always a one shot kill. Movement speeds are imbalanced. I repeatedly got stuck on invisible ledges. Even if they polish this game up and iron out the kinks, it seems incredibly one-dimensional and I predict will be a gigantic flop. Feel free to call me a moron or genius.

  • It'll probably sell like hotcakes, get 9.5/10 from IGN, etc. But honestly, I see nothing that really makes this game special.

    • It was a beta test, that means that the actual game will look different. The point of a beta is to allow people to play the game and inform them of problems so that they can make it better. You are only allowed a certain amount of the game to play, there will be more to the game and look. Don't be so quick to put a game down because of the beta, it is only a test...

      If you can't tell the difference between a bot and a player in Titanfall then you're a dumbass. Bots -Stays in groups -Don't act like a ADHD child on a playground -scripted animations -Doesn't have a giant arrow over head -Dies extremely easy Player -Acts like a ADHD child on a playground -Onna Roof -On some type of high ground -Hard to kill -Running -Giant name over Head

      • Basically my first game I was like "OH WOW THIS IS AWEOMSE!" Then the game ended and I saw that 90% of my kills were on bots and it was suddenly less epic.

        • I played 10 hours of the beta and never got stuck on invisible walls. Plus the ai is a great thing to have in the game. And how is the movement unbalanced?

        • This post is a flop. Based on the beta alone, the vast majority of the people love this game. Just because you lack enthusiasm about the game doesn't mean everyone else thinks the way. You are probably in the 1% that doesn't like it.

          • So... regardless of the fact that countless drone-Gamers are going to most likely play this game non-stop, because you had a shit time and couldn't get the hang of it, it will flop? Yep, sounds like the Internet is still on course.

            • Why does everyone want the game to fail? Its easily going to be one of the best games we've had for next-gen so far. I'm buying a PS4 first and eventually an Xbox One for Titanfall.

            • The most atrocious thing about titanfall and CoD is that the engine for both games are extremely mediocre, and the thing that pisses me off the most, is that these games sell a shit ton, the developers are acting as role models for a younger generation. If devs are to make games that are half-ass'd and are just flat "C" work it tells college students or high school students that its perfectly fine to not strive for the best of quality, to not strive for the upper bars of excellence as other games do, Because what? Because we (Respawn/Infinity Ward) make these games with lower conditions and sell just fine, so you don't have to worry about pioneering or being a leader. You can get by just fine with "C" work. This mentality is disgusting

                    • [quote]the game is extremely easy. With all the easy kills, players will feel like complete badasses. The people that buy COD every year will poop their pants over this game. It is a twitch based shooter that can guarantee the player dozens of kills in just a few minutes. Its a great plan by Respawn - make it to where mindless gamers feel l33t as soon as they start playing.[/quote] Pretty much this, the game is more casual than Call of Duty.

                        It won't flop because it's explicitly (and effectively) marketed towards the casual gamer.

                        • I HATE Call of Duty with a passion and I love Titanfall. The inclusion of Titans & the jetpacks make the game feel different and fresh, but I guess people have their opinions. P.S. If anybody calls Titanfall "A COD clone with mechs" I would argue their wrong because in Titanfall (human)players actually die unlike COD.

                          • I think titanfall looks pretty cool so far. My one complaint though is that I think the pilots need more health. One shotting players (or grunts) isn't as satisfying in my opinion as having a drawn out fight where tactical decisions can be the deciding factor. I think even in call of duty there is longer time to kill on average than in this game. It's the complete opposite when fighting titan v titan. You move slowly, have a lot of health, and have several tricks you can use to turn the tide. You have to duck behind buildings, play ping pong with the vortex shield, all while making your primary and secondary shots count. And on top of all that, you can even get boosts to damage for a short time. If fighting pilot on pilot had as many decisions to make as fighting with titans does, this game would BURY every other shooter available. Sure, you can play cat and mouse with the wall running, and maybe throw a stun grenade every so often, but the maps are so big and have so many routes through them that I haven't seen any resemblance of tactical control of a map in my time playing. If they had a game mode with smaller maps and more pilots(not grunts), I'd really enjoy it. I saw they had a titan-only mode, but no pilot-only mode. This is somewhat surprising because pilots have a lot of potential for interesting encounters if the titans aren't there. It would be more like call of duty, but the added acrobatics would make it a completely different game already, not even counting the special abilities like cloaking and stuff. Also, I'm pretty bummed that there isn't a single player, because the tutorial levels set it up for one so well that it felt like something was missing being multiplayer only. And grunts. Get rid of them, make them smarter, or use them in more moderation, because what they are now contributes little to the game. If anything, make at least a third of the active entities on the battlefield real players, because grunt hunting gets old and adds that casual feel that's making everyone complain about the game. TL;DR: Titanfall seems like a good game, but there is much room for even more improvement.
