The Titanfall Blues

Kotaku "Have you ever been invited to a party all your friends have been talking about and hyping up? This party is supposed to be the biggest thing ever and for weeks all you can think about is how awesome this moment is going to be. When the day final arrives however, reality hits you in the face. You have been to a party like this 100 times before, nothing is different. The music is awful, blaring and loud, the people are drunk, stupid and terrible and you don't find anyone you can relate too. You find yourself looking down at your drink, surrounded by all these people you don't care about thinking to yourself "What am I doing here?" This basically summarizes my experience with Titanfall."

All the hype is gone for titanfall and now people are seeing the game for what it is

EA and respawn messed up with this game because it should have been on the highly successful ps4 as a multiplatform title as well as ps3. If this game was made better in like having better graphics, more online player count and options for no bots while being on xbox 360 xbox one ps3 and ps4 it would have done a lot better.

This game had huge potential but it was squandered by stupidity of making the game skip out on being on the very successful and most powerful console on earth the ps4 and the ps3. This game had the potential to do cod numbers.

By the time titanfall 2 comes around to all consoles there will be a lot more shooters to steal it's thunder and there won't be as much hype.

DawnOfDon4433d ago

ugh. Give it up already.

The game is not overhyped, people just say that because they are mad that they can't play it. I don't think the game could run correctly with a bigger player count because if it had 12v12 there could be 24 titans on the map at one time, and the frame rate would probably go nuts and drop. The game is fine just how it is in my opinion.

Don't call it stupidity for them skipping out on PlayStation, because no one knew what would happen this gen. The game caters to the US and Eu which the Xbox 360 dominated so I can see why they would think it would be the same this gen, unfortunately for them it is the other way around

Titanfall will bring probably more hype then the first one did

@tokugawa

Mommy and daddy don't buy me anything. I bought both console's by myself I don't even live with my parents like you probably do.

I love titanfall, yes it is missing some things but it lives up to the hype for me. I don't take it serious and only play for fun with friends. It isn't the best FPS out there but it definitely is the most fun I have had on one for a long time.

People hate on the game for the wrong reasons. I get if you hate it for not having private matches, long load times, being easy to play, etc..

"amazing.... the mind of an idiot"

I believe that is you, how about you read my comment again and full understand it before you make another stupid reply, or can your brain not handle it?

AsimLeonheart4433d ago (Edited 4433d ago )

Something is considered overhyped when it fails to live up to its pre-release hype. Titanfall was hyped like crazy with a huge marketing budget, the cinematic trailers, the mind blowing gameplay videos and the fawning journalists. Everything made it out to be the second coming of the FPS genre. There was an immense hype for the game in the gaming world.
However once the game was released, critical reception has been mixed, gamer response has been muted and MS has been silent about the sales. Why isnt MS chest thumping about Titanfall sales if it was such a success and delivered on its hype? We all know that MS is anything but modest about its successes. It did not sell MILLIONS as predicted and it did not move MILLIONS of Xbones as expected. It is obvious that the game failed to live up to its hype and expectations. If that isn't overhyping and underdelivering then I don't know what is.

PONTIAC08G8GT4433d ago

Don't try to make sense, people are truly stupid on here. 6v6 is the player count. Add 1 Titan for everyone. Now you could possibly have 12 players and 12 titans. That adds up to 24. If you've played the game and played on certain maps, angel city for example, if 3 or 4 titans are fighting, you cant make your way through the street. Now some maps could fit more, but some are like angel city with tight quarters. Yes, you could fit 24 pilots on a map, but in no way could you fit 24 titans.

The 6v6 works perfectly. I think the max might be 8v8 but anything more and it would just be pure chaos (even more than it is now). But majority of haters havent played it or "heard" from their friend it's not good, so whatever. I'm playing it, I'm enjoying it, all that matters.

avidgamer14433d ago (Edited 4433d ago )

@Dawnofdon, actually I believe tokugawa was referring to hatsune, not you. Reading comprehension my friend.

Also to those that still talk about 6v6 as being an issue have obviously never played the game before. Although admittedly the game have some minor flaws, the action is pretty intense all the time and I assure you, there is WAaaaaaY too much stuff going on at one time to really care if the game is 6v6 or 64v64.

dude i was taliking about the fool that posted first not you

dedicatedtogamers4433d ago

Titanfall was/is being hyped quite a bit. Let me give you some quotes directly from Microsoft and YOU tell ME if it lived up to the hype (and as a side note, I played my fill of Titanfall on my PC and found it lacking):

"If you’ve been waiting for the biggest game of the generation before purchasing your Xbox One..."

“a brave new vision of the future of multiplayer games”,

“the first real next-gen shooter”

“the most addictive game ever.”

"sets the new bar for online multiplayer gameplay."

All quotes come from this link on the offical Xbox site:

Your bitterness is spoiling your attempt to seem rational.

Not every one likes every game. Take infamous for example. I think you would agree that it the much better game, because it is 1080p. look how many critics disagree with you.

At the end of the day many will enjoy TitanFalls and think it deserves the hype. Then there will be those who would uses all the article they could write to convince you that this or no other game deserves this much hype.

I say it deserves the hype. There are lots of other people who have also played it. go ahead and ask them what they think of the game. I am putting money on many more of them agreeing with me over the writer of this article.

venom064433d ago

i cant believe how INCEREDIBLY EASY AND LACK OF SKILL REQUIRED this game really is.. the AI is stupid, all the guns are no recoil laser beams, everybody get a Titan NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR DONT DO and its only 6vs6... honestly, this game is easier and more "lack of skill required" than CoD is... and that's saying alot.. People are finally starting to realize this..

MysticStrummer4433d ago (Edited 4433d ago )

You need to read your own posts before assessing someone else's "attempt" to be rational.

Your implication that someone might think 1080p makes a game better shows a complete lack of grasp on what the 1080p conversation is even about, and bringing Infamous into this is especially telling.

At the end of the day a person can be rational, yet hate Titanfall or be indifferent toward it.

PONTIAC08G8GT4433d ago

@Venom

So in your eyes only those who dominate should be rewarded like in COD? So the casual gamer shouldnt be able to play a game and enjoy it?

Why cant a game appeal to both people? It's not a simulation shooter, never was. If your a hardcore player, play hardpoint, last titan standing, or pilot hunter. If your casual, play attrition or CTF. Maybe you should play the game before trying to form an opinion.

Bigpappy4433d ago

@MysticStrummer: Since you have so many bubbles and I have only 2, I will respond to your attack on me and defense of Hatsune-Miku.

Here is what your buddy said:
"EA and respawn messed up with this game because it should have been on the highly successful ps4 as a multiplatform title as well as ps3. If this game was made better in like having better graphics, more online player count and options for no bots while being on xbox 360 xbox one ps3 and ps4 it would have done a lot better.

Hence my response with Infamous and 1080p.

Anyway I will put your sensitivity and emotional connection to Infamous and unwise decision to backup that obvious troll comment aside.

I already said in the same post you are attempting to criticize, that "not everyone likes every game", so why exactly are you preaching to me that some people hate TF. I already said as much.

On second thought, I really should have saved my second bubble and not responded to you. You didn't make a single good point that deserves a response.

Since I already typed this... there it is.

TekoIie4433d ago

@venom06

I would've taken your opinion on this seriously if you hadn't so desperately tried to damage control the BF4 launch.

"all the guns are no recoil laser beams"

Would love to know which game you played because i can only think of one Pilot weapon which fires a laser and at a stretch 2 Titan weapons if you include the arc cannon.

As for the recoil argument I suggest you play the game and try to consistently hit a wall running enemy with all of these weapons.

Titanfall absolutely has flaws which held it back. Personally feel this game could've had some very unique game modes but we only got your standard FPS offerings.

The strength however is that be you on the winning or losing side this game is almost always fun. They should try to add something unique which also retains the enjoyment the first created.

MysticStrummer4433d ago

You're saying I defended the person you were responding to? In reality I didn't read their post at all. I responded to your assertion :

"At the end of the day many will enjoy TitanFalls and think it deserves the hype. Then there will be those who would uses all the article they could write to convince you that this or no other game deserves this much hype."

So, there are only two kinds of people in this discussion. The ones who love TF, and the ones who will stop at nothing to convince others not to play it.

Don't you think you're leaving a few honest viewpoints out in your gaming world view? Honest people can have honest opinions that differ wildly from yours.

Also, you turned "better graphics, more online player count and options for no bots while being on xbox 360 xbox one ps3 and ps4" into a comment about Infamous and 1080p…?

"Better graphics" covers a lot of ground besides resolution, and Infamous was never mentioned. Your justification has failed you, and again I suspect you don't understand what "resolutiongate" is/was even about.

Sounds like we've got a grumpy gooch idiot fanboy over here.

Also, this whole paragraph from the article just describes kotaku in general.
They probably disliked his game because p. Hernandez thought the lack of feminine looking titans was sexist and Evan Narcisse found no significant way to shoehorn in the race card.

Don't read kotaku kids. Long gone are the days of Brian Crescente. I miss the good old 2008 Kotaku when they actually wrote about video games.

PSVita4433d ago

Has no one realized yet that Hatsune is an obvious Troll. Might even be a Fanboy of some other system trying to make Sony fans look bad. Either way I feel sorry for they poor guy. Him and Misterx should have a baby already..

PONTIAC08G8GT4433d ago

Will you please just leave N4G or jump off a cliff? I mean, every Xbox article you are in and you don't have anything positive or constructive to say. You only get agree's from other Xbox haters. It's tiresome reading your rants.

The game released and has been out for weeks, of course the hype dies off because everyones busy playing it not watching a new trailer or new features. Everyone knows what the game is and isn't. Just like when COD comes out everyone goes nuts and couple weeks later no one talks about it because theres nothing to speculate anymore, we have all the info. The game is selling just fine for the amount of X1 owners that are out there.

Give it up already.

kayoss4432d ago

Only if there was a FPS game with multiplayer options to play against cross console. PS4 vs Xbox One Titanfall teams.

BF4 is a much better and deeper shooter IMO

AceBlazer134433d ago

Yh from what i've seen from ppl that play all three the general ranking i get is bf>tf>cod.

Ol_Boy4433d ago

I agree. BF4 is much better.

PONTIAC08G8GT4433d ago

When the game doesn't crash it's great. It's also fun getting killed by someone with 0 health. Or when it's so laggy you cant move. And getting killed when your already behind cover due to bullet lag is the icing on the cake.

Comparing Battlefield to TF is like comparing Gran Turismo to NFS. One game is more realistic, the other is arcade. BF focuses on giant battles, real world weapons and vehicles, and realistic weather effects. TF has titans, fake weapons, burn cards (mini perks), and is futuristic. Only similarities between the two are that both are FPS.

Simco8764433d ago

lol PS fanboys....sad. I own a PS4, but I see going exclusive for the $$ and fanbase. That said, Titanfall is missing some things, but those things can be expanded and added into sequels, NOT DLC.

Titanfall 2 will be on every console and have expanded weapons/Titans/Modes/Maps. It's just the first run of the game, and since it will be on PS4 fanboys can finally shut their mouths and get on the bandwagon.

MysticStrummer4433d ago

"lol PS fanboys....sad."

Faceplant. No need to read further.

A person can be an XB1 fanboy and not like TF.

Kingnichendrix4433d ago

Ive got titan fall and its already boring, mind you i been doing a lot of attrition

Simco8764432d ago

I agree it has gotten a little stale already, but I think I have just grown out of shooters to be honest. Need some substance with the little free time I have.

incendy354433d ago

That article was hilarious. Every time I try to kill bots I run out of ammo and pilots come and kill me.. Cry me a river lol. Waaaa, I can't win at a game so it is bad :D

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.

MadLad1345d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g1345d ago (Edited 1345d ago )

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