So, what did people see in Titanfall?
Why was it so hyped? What did it have to offer?
I promised to make this thread at about this time in my last thread on this game. The alleged "savior" of the Xbox One, which managed to lead the X1 to outsell the PS4 in March, the month it released.
[spoiler]Oh wait. It didn't.[/spoiler]
Now that the game is effectively dead and no one on these forums is militantly defending the game anymore, let's discuss what made the game even seem appealing. What did you people see in this game?
I've said it many times and I'll say it again. Bungie.net seemed out of character when the forums sang the greatness of Titanfall. Clearly everyone thought the game looked like a CoD ripoff, right? For CoD games and wannabee CoD games like Homefront, usually the forums are eager to sing the horrors of the game. Thread after thread of "lolcod is shit" and "Children's Online Daycare". Yet Titanfall, which not only looked like CoD, was even made by the people who make CoD, yet a comment saying "this looks like CoD" was strictly forbidden and condemned as childish behavior. Perhaps the forum has grown up, but the fact is that the same people who defended Titanfall absolutely despise Halo 4 for being like Call of Duty.
But back to the main point. What did Titanfall offer that the game you supposedly despise, CoD, did not? Again, in your hypocrisy, did you allow your most hated company, EA, to fool you? Let's discuss.
[spoiler]Expect a similar thread concerning Destiny in November.[/spoiler]

Edited by DEZARATH: 5/7/2014 4:47:47 PMIt's not the COD part. It's the mechs. If Respawn had added a ton of Mech options and customizations it would have gone a long way. Just three to choose from and enclosing them is a real shame. Mech gaming needs open environments. You can shove them into closed spaces and it works also, but mechs are like tanks and tank battle are fun when you got a lot of room to maneuver. TitanFall wasn't about COD for me atleast. I just hoped it would inspire Fromsoft to step up their Armored Core Series as well as other studios to create giant robot goodness.

It's the best game out rate now, just needs a little more content
-
I find it significantly more fun than CoD ever was, for one.
-
They probably acted like lemon and didn't shut up about it
-
I love it! It's rare a multiplayer game actually takes my interest but TF is definitely one of the best games I've bought in a long time :D
-
Story means nothing when every fight is a timed match in a localized arena. It gets old fast and can only be prolonged with more maps. Of course, if a game is already widely successful at that, then all other games, no matter what new innovative niche they have in their game, will never reach the same numbers.
-
I don't have an issue with the game. It is very solid. However, I don't like wasting my time on something that has no end. It's just one match after another and I just don't have time for games like that anymore. Give me a beginning, middle, and end and I will be happy.
-
I like the game. Better with more game modes. Way overpriced. I can get more fun with halo reach. Overall I give it a 6 out of 10

1 ReplyEdited by The Random: 5/7/2014 12:38:56 AMI only bought Titanfall (for PC) because I was under the impression that a friend of mine would also buy the game (for PC). He ended up buying it for Xbox One -_- I have a grand total of 4 hours of playtime on Titanfall. It's fun, but there are other games I'd much rather play.

I saw hype. Mountains and mountains of hype.

Edited by The Squatchmen: 5/7/2014 4:51:13 AMIt shat all over my childhood dreams, when I was younger I always thought of how cool and amazing games could look year after year, decade after decade. Guess the f[u]u[/u]ck what? Nope, we get trashy ass games like Titanfall and Cod that are apparently triple A games that look like original Xbox games (if that) So its like both developers have to make sure their digestive systems are acting up and have diarrhea, in which they pull down their pants, squat, and shit all the F over my dreams

1 ReplyYou mean the $60 CoD expansion pack?
-
They saw Call of Duty.
-
It was the media. IGN declared it three next big thing, the media pushed it on us hard. And when it came down to it, it was Call of Duty without the polish of CoD. It missed the entire PSN populace, was incredibly shallow, no other modes besides competitive MP. Sure it's fun, but it can only last so long when it's imitating.

I got mine for free and I'm starting to have more use out of my Xbox One than I original thought I would
-
Just curious. How exactly is it dead?
-
So how do you know it's dead? Do you have a source for population numbers or something? I don't see one in your OP.

[spoiler]You can also expect me to agree with you again[/spoiler]

2 RepliesYeah it did look like a call of duty game but it doesn't play like one. I hated cod multiplayer and I had no intention of getting titanfall until I tried the open beta and fell in love with the mobility of the gunplay. Just out of curiosity, have you played the game and just didn't like it or assumed it would be a cod clone as I did before I tried the game?

Edited by Enigmatic Dog: 5/7/2014 12:30:58 AMPlaying the "beta" (or rather "demo"), I can easily say the game was fun. It was fast, frantic, satisfying and just plain enjoyable. The game modes, while not really that interesting, offered enough variation to keep me interested in playing for the duration of the beta. ... Then it turns out the game ships with only around 5-7 new weapons, 2 new titans, a handful of new perks and only TWO new game modes for a multiplayer only game. Now wasn't their reasoning for going full on MP to ensure they delivered a nice, varied multiplayer experience with plenty of content? Because evidently they -blam!-ed that up. And really, that's the reason it's dead. It just has nothing going for it. No new interesting game modes. Nothing truly special about the base gameplay itself (the parkour aspect quickly becomes less impressive the more you play) and the Titans, the unique selling point, are downright dull to play as if I'm honest. It is a shame because it had some decent potential, but the lack of interesting content really kills it for myself and many others.
