Max Level: Titanfall Beta Impressions

Max Level: Dear Respawn Entertainment,

You have my permission to impregnate my body with Titanfall.

I’ve had a chance to play Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall beta and if the above statement isn’t any indication as how I feel towards the first-person shooter, I’ll put it into perspective for you, IT’S FRAKKING AWESOME! But before I get ahead of myself and continue to gush about this futuristic mech title, let’s break the Titanfall beta down.

The Ai is seemingly unresponsive I had a group of imc grunts come in a drop ship and I sat there in the middle kicking them in the back. They provide little challenge and it makes it a bit frustrating. All in all I love the game maxed out last night and playing again here in a moment just wish the Ai leveled with the characters.

Pandamobile4400d ago

The AI aren't supposed to be challenging, you're supposed to slaughter them and move on. They're not supposed to be stand-ins for players, they're minions.

Haven't you ever played League of Legends or DOTA2?

GGN4399d ago (Edited 4399d ago )

You actually can rack up a decent amount points just killing the minions. Of course it would be silly to just focus them but passing them up when there is nothing better to shoot is just a waste of points. They should really improve the AI, I agree.

Edit: This coming from max rank always 1st place (not that it was hard to hit max, only took a day)

Ricegum4400d ago

The AI is what's putting me off this game. I do hope there's some improvement.

VENOMACR12274400d ago

Why though? Why focus on the AI when they aren't really important? Focus on killing titans, pilots, and getting objectives. I kill between 10-15 pilots a game and 10-15 bots. Most of those bot kills are walking over them or clearing out an objective. The hardcore gamer can focus on pilots and titans, the casual fan feels useful killing bots. It's a good medium for both play styles.

Should be a hardcore mode where the bots are really strong, that would be nice.

But don't let stupid AI bots keep you or anyone from buying the game. It's a blast to play.

DEEBO4400d ago

They are dumb but i think that's what the game developer was aiming for.
make you fill like a total badazz but can make a room with smarter a.i but then you will have players complain about bots killing them or getting in the way when they are about to get pilot kills.

iistuii4400d ago

I'm not over keen on it. Played it on X1 first then this morning maxed out on my PC, but I just can't get into it. It doesn't look next gen but does play smooth which is something I've not had much of playing b4 on PS4. Good luck to them, but I'm gonna pass.

mhunterjr4400d ago

The AI grunts aren't meant to be challenging. The challenge is supposed to be come from the human players... Otherwise, people would complain about being killed by bots.

The specters, however, will send guided missiles at your titans.

ramiuk14400d ago

well i played it maxed out on my pc today,gave it about 10 games and imo opinion its crap.
graphics poor
AI game breakingly stupid
titan killer gun,just locks on then changes target if another goes near making it impossible to killi f more than one in area!

there was about 5 enemy titans within less than a minute.
i got a titan and then once i got blew up ,it said i had another in 2 minutes without even killing anyone.

really didnt like it and i hope that its improved for launch.
i actually feel sorry for MS now and i hope sony doenst fight for it on ps4.
My plan was to get on my pc but im not.

i think the game has recieved to much hype and it doenst live upto it,infact i think its so poor that i wouldnt of done a beta as it will put alot off buying imo.

finally though it plays smooth and i wish them all the luck with it but i will stick to ghosts and bf4

GearSkiN4400d ago

At the end of the day, it's your opinion.

ramiuk14400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

exactly dude,my opinion,i hope people who buy it really enjoy it.
maybe down line when its balanced out i might enjoy.

i reallywanted to love this game,i was wanting it from the second i set my eyes on it.
im gutted its alot weaker than hype made it

its far from a system seller.

VENOMACR12274400d ago

Yikes that was tough to read.

Why call in your titan if other team has 5 on the map? You can see how many titans there are by the score board. If a team has outnumbered your titans, don't drop yours in, wait until your team kills them.

And the lock on, it locks onto an enemy. It cant help if there are 2 or 3 titans together and they keep moving around.

ramiuk14400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

it shouldnt jump from one to the other.
once its 90% targeted on one it shouldnt jump to other imo

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee7d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein41d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator41d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow141d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

ZwVw41d ago

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.

Saudi Arabia Will Own 93 Percent Of Battlefield 6 Publisher EA

When the dust settles on the $55 billion leveraged buyout of Electronic Arts, Saudi Arabia will be its only true owner, despite a “consortium” of investors being involved in the deal. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will control 93 percent of the company, according to filings with Brazil’s antitrust regulator.

blacktiger92d ago

Technically speaking, Saudi Arabia and TENCENT can buy the entire USA. ANf Democrat and Republican will not do crap!

Inverno92d ago

Letting foreign entities own half of American businesses is liberal and very progressive. So is bringing in all that talent from outside the States to replace the talentless and lazy American workers. And here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope. We're supposed to worry bout them "radical Muslims" minding their own here and ignore China/Saudi/Israel taking over.

blacktiger92d ago

Another thing I hate hearing is "liberal and very progressive"
It's 2025 and that stuff is outdated. Everything and everyway is literally the same thing wheter it's progressive, conservativ. Because they all wants the same thing have, king unlimited oney buy everything including your house.

Now they making mainstream media news that it's AI Bubble justify to highjack the price of RAM.
Another excuse for inflation!

Tacoboto92d ago

"here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope"

Lol, you actually bought what he was selling? Let's see this week alone...

Yesterday he pardoned an international drug lord, while allowing the murder of random fishermen on boats. Remember drain the swamp? He pardoned a Democratic Congressman jailed for bribery just today, nevermind that fraudulent drag queen republican that was kicked out of Congress and imprisoned for their fraud. It's so petty they're picking fights on social media with pop stars while using their music, and even using Franklin the damn Turtle to cartoonify their murders.

thorstein92d ago

You believed him!?!!

I've got some Trump $5000 bills for you, only half off.

People I do not use /s to point out my sarcasm. Should be obvious I don't believe anything coming out of Trump's mouth or any politicians mouth.

its quite ridiculous that they were able to do that. or even allowed to.

but saudis even have their grabby hands in nintendo stocks.

maximusprime_92d ago

Looking on the bright side, the games may be patched to remove any ideologies that are incompatible for the majority of the world.

S2Killinit92d ago

What do you mean? You want censorship in games?
