While 'Titanfall' Lacks Content, It Isn't Overpriced

In the week since its release, Titanfall has sparked a lot of debate among fans and critics alike. Reception of the gameplay seems to be generally positive. The game has been praised as a “revolution” for shooter multiplayer while insults usually sound like “it’s just an upgraded Call of Duty,” which still can be taken as a compliment, given the success of that series.

Agreed. Best multiplayer game in a few good years. The last FPS i enjoyed this much was Crysis 2

TomShoe4435d ago (Edited 4435d ago )

Whether it's worth $60 just depends on your sense of value.

If you love multiplayer FPS and can burn 100s of hours on it without breaking a sweat, then hell yeah, go for it.

If you're more casual or SP-focused, then wait until it's on sale.

Crysis 2 was alot of fun. I thought the cloaking messed up the fun a bit though.

RedSoakedSponge4435d ago

if thats what you think, then you probably wont like titanfall. everyone loves to use cloak (including me :P)

jetlian4435d ago

all he needs is the pulse finder thing. I use it all the time now too. Camp if you want to im coming for ya =)

man I got 24 hours in the game already and im usually not that big into mp

Charybdis4435d ago

Thinks its worth the money. Its obvious the amount of time people spend with the game will vary, but I do believe its relative good value for what the game is and how much time people will spend on it.

Nes_Daze4435d ago

I enjoyed MAG a lot, and that was $60.00. If a game can only have singleplayer and develop a great experience with that alone for $60.00, why can't a game do the same with multiplayer?

I would love to try this game out soon, so I'm hoping that eventually EA will get it on the PS4 by the time I get the console.

PC digital is overpriced.

and still bought it, I am a silly goose.

Cobberwebb4435d ago

You gotta look around, dude. £45 on Origin? No chance. I found it for £26.99 on CDKeys.com, and that's how much I think the game is worth after playing it for a while.

JasonKCK4435d ago (Edited 4435d ago )

Actually got the game for free, gift code. Was do for a freebie.

Gazondaily4435d ago

Yeah I paid £55 for the digital copy. Shluld have really bought a hard copy but I just wanted a digital one to save me from changing discs all the time. Funnily enough, I dont think I will be changing discs often cause I am hooked on this so bad.

LAWSON724435d ago

Changing discs on PC? Are you talking about Xbone or 360? PC games just install the game from the disc and assign the game to your account. That is how it was with BF4 at least.

Gazondaily4435d ago (Edited 4435d ago )

On X1 mate. Yeah you wont need the disc on PC. I wont either but hsd to swallow the steep price. Digital prices are a joke on consoles.

ginsunuva4435d ago (Edited 4435d ago )

uh, physical discs on pc are just an alternative to downloading the game.
The whole game gets installed from disc to hard drive instead of downloading/installing, to save data costs or for people with slow/no internet.

You will never switch a disc on pc anymore these days. The disc doesn't need to be on the pc at all when playing.

Debaitable4435d ago

I bought my premium for $46 and gifted standard editions at $32 a piece. Definitely worth it at those prices!

thehitman4435d ago

The game is really overpriced even though it can be fun its not worth a full 60 dollars. The campaign is a joke really only reason to do it is to get the other titans. They shouldnt have even bothered. I got the game for 34 dollars which I would not have paid more than 35-40 for.

jetlian4435d ago

it was never about the campaign. Same with plants vs zombies.

thehitman4435d ago

Never said it was about the campaign but no need to force people to play some half assed story you can barely understand whats going on. They put a narrative around it like the things matter what they are saying when all you do is have to play normal player vs player. They should have either just did w/o it or made a real campaign.

It was like they added it just to justify it having more content which it really doesnt and having a higher price tag. Game should have been no more than 40 dollars. When Sony released Warhawk it was 40 bucks online only game was fun many liked it. Same should have been for TitanFall. Anyone who disagrees either doesnt value their own money or has too much of it to care.

Paid £37 of ebay on xbone and i honestly think ive got my moneys worth allready. Just about to regenerate/prestige game has some issues but its amazing, this is next gen gameplay! (Maybe not graphics) but amazing as hell non the less!

polow got sol4435d ago

Since the multiplayer is addicting the replaybility makes it well worth 60 bucks maybe even 70.

Blackleg-sanji4435d ago (Edited 4435d ago )

U had me then u loss me

1nsomniac4435d ago (Edited 4435d ago )

Sometimes people should really think twice about what they say before they spurt it out all over the internet.

People like you are the reason the gaming industry is in the state it's in. Stupidity at its finest!

Because I really enjoy my toast every morning & I paid £20 for my toaster do you think I should go back to the people who made it & offer them another £30.....???

You pay for what you buy. I don't know where this notion has come from that you pay for how much use you get out of it. They have a separate name for that, it's called renting.

mhunterjr4435d ago

It's perfectly reasonable to assign value to something based on how useful to you it is, or how much use you'll get out of it...

The thing you've got to realize is different people value different things. If you were choosing between two similarly priced toasters; one was known to last a year, and the other 10 years, a rational person might consider the latter to be a better buy.

1nsomniac4435d ago (Edited 4435d ago )

It's just a crazy mentality that you could decide a standard shared price for what you yourself make out of it rather than what is actually physically in it.

The only single way of judging it accurately is by content. You pay for what you get, its as simple as that. Any other way of judging it is purely opinion based. To judge it any other way is just silly & immature.

Back in the days of GTAIV, it took me 40+ hours to complete & still wasn't 100%. It also had a truly astonishing amount of detail, 5 years worth of work that went into it, along with a huge mass of varied content. Yet its the same price as Titanfall - Is that fair??

staticdash224435d ago

For me personally, I can't really justify the price. It doesn't have the same amount of allure that another always online game like Destiny has. Their promising LOADS of content for $60 with a clearly defined/cinematic story, seamless co-op and competitive multiplayer all while having an open world/galaxy that you can explore. Raids, looting, factions, trading, upgrading skills, etc.

That sounds like $60 to me

Farmassy4435d ago

your picture is of infamous so yeah I'm not surprised that you don't think titanfall is worth it

I wonder if it would change your mind if it was on the PS4

don't worry. when titanfall 2 comes to playstation you will love it

porkChop4435d ago

Yes because if someone is a fan of inFamous they are automatically a PlayStation fanboy and hate everything else.

OR, you know, maybe some people just don't like Titanfall or don't think a multiplayer game with very little content is worth $60.

staticdash224435d ago

What does my picture have to do with my opinion?

Farmassy4435d ago

I think you are a fan of playstation... there is nothing wrong with that...

I just have noticed that a lot of fans of playstation have very strong opinions about titanfall even though most have not played it.

yall say whatever you want. I really don't care. Yes porkchop it is possible that he may have an honest opinion of titanfall but don't act like it isn't also likely that he hates it simply because this "console war" has caused gamers to be so fragmented.

I'm not surprised that he is not impresssed

Boody-Bandit4435d ago (Edited 4435d ago )

My avatar is a pic of my shifter on my racing rig so I guess judging by your assessment I shouldn't voice my opinion on anything other than racing games.

You seem to be awful defensive over TitanFall. Believe it or not, I know this is nearly hard for people like you to understand, not everyone that voices displeasure over a product is a fanboy or troll from the opposition.

TF is a real fun but flawed game.

OT:
It's my opinion that if a question has to be asked than you must question the person asking as to why they are even bringing it up in the first place.

I honestly don't have an opinion as to whether TF is over priced or not, since I rented it with the option to buy and I can buy it at a 33% discount if I opt to do so, but find it awful ironic that MGSV Prologue has already been taken apart for it's pricing with the first few reviews. Considering these outlets are taken the price into strong consideration to calculate their final score / rating of MGSV.

All I want from the media is parody. If not they come off skewed and not to be trusted or taken seriously.

Seafort4435d ago

I'm a playstation fan and yet I'm still playing Titanfall on PC.

It's a good game but not worth the asking price of £45 on EA Origin store.

I got it for £30 on launch day. I also got Dark Souls 2 on PC for £17.50 too :P

Farmassy4435d ago (Edited 4435d ago )

@brutallyhonest

to be honest with you, I don't think you know how forming an argument works. Liking racing games does not have a correlation with disliking other games for no reason

however, someone preferring one console over another DOES make them more likely to dislike games for the other console (I fully understand that that liking playstation does not predispose someone to not liking xbox games... but come on. Don't act like this doesn't happen from both xbox and playstation fans)

It would be like if I went into a "The Order" article and started saying that it looked a little boring and overdone... while having a picture of masterchief as my pic. Don't act like you wouldn't look at that and be like, "hmmm. I think I know why he might not like this game."

I am confused as to why what I am saying is controversial. All of a sudden all of these playstation fans are saints who believe that no one ever brings their own biases into these comment sections.

What I am saying is not that crazy... just think about it

@seafort
I'm glad you are enjoying titanfall. It is a fun game but 45 pounds does seem a little much. that comes out to about 90 US dollars right?

@brutallyhonest
MGSV is a two hour game... a TWO hour game. I see what you mean that you want fairness for all games but it is TWO hours. That does have a lot to do with whether the game should be purchased. I will agree that titanfall would benefit from more content but no one is going to play it for two hours and be done with it... I have already sunk 8 hours in a and I am not stopping anytime soon

@inthelab
you are breaking balls. I understand that it isn't technically an xbox exclusive... but it has been treated that way by playstation fans. You are arguing over semantics

InTheLab4435d ago

Titanfall is a multiplatform title. While it's not on playstation, it still isn't exclusive to Xbox.

jetlian4435d ago

the sp on titanfall longer than mgs:gz lol. guy on youtube has a 70 min video of mgs:gz. Gamespot guy claim it was closer to 1 hour.

I like metal gear but playing the same base 6 times looking for another item is stupid and they tried to get 40 bucks for it too.

Sharius4435d ago

your logic is so bias

what if i tell you titanfall is not exclusive for xbone?

I don't get how you can compare Titanfall to a game that isn't coming out for several months, and no one's played. It just makes your comparison look suspect.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad1336d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g1336d ago (Edited 1336d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

gurp736d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."
