Titanfall 2 review - Polygon

Polygon: "Titanfall 2 is Respawn's first real test as a studio. Yes, it's a sequel, and Titanfall 2 isn't as groundbreaking or wildly inventive as the original game, but still."

they're just salty is now on the playstation LOL

Typical idiot reply from fanboys.......get a life.

Imalwaysright3490d ago

Let the conspiracy theories begin.

generic-user-name3491d ago

Titanfall 1 was 'groundbreaking' and 'wildly innovative' but now it's on PS4 and has more content.

7/10

pandehz3490d ago (Edited 3490d ago )

I don't know if its PS vs Xbox thingy here.

They are just terrible in reviewing overall. Their scores seem to value completely different things as to what gamers will enjoy.

I think they are much more like, 'hey i don't like a certain minor thing so lets chop 3 whole points off.' Just very very subjective reviewers. Pretty much stay away from polygon.

Erik73573490d ago (Edited 3490d ago )

The camapign is 4 hours, script and narrative is lack luster.

Anything higher than a 8 is kinda over rating it in my opinion. 7 is a solid game. This is no way a game people will talk about years from now. Not 9-10 worthy.

pandehz3490d ago (Edited 3490d ago )

''This is no way a game people will talk about years from now. Not 9-10 worthy.''

LOL

And Gears of War 4 got a 9 from them. Gears 4 campaign is pretty average. Its versus is average. Its horde is the only saving grace. It shouldnt have got a 9. Gears 4 wont be something ppl will talk about.

But guess what. Ttanfall on the other hand, YOU CAN BET ON IT, every other shooter will copy mechanics, controls, probably even the pilot/titan feature and many things from it. COD already ripped off Titanfall last time around and still half assed it. People talked about Titanfall at launch and trust me they will talk about if for a long long time.

Titanfall is much more innovative than most fps shooters out there easily. Overwatch owns the team based shooter category but Titanfall is doing things in gameplay that none are.

Erik73573490d ago

Oh I agree Gears of war 4 did not deserve a 9, around the same score as this.

Considering that my only experience with the Titanfall franchise is the tech test a while ago, I probably won't get all of the narrative, according to the reviewer. Now that I am aware of that, I intend on paying extra attention during the campaign, so I can get the most out of it. Looks to be a blast to play.

DivoJones3491d ago

Hah no worries.. the campaign from the original was basically an extended line of dialogue before a multiplayer match. You could probably google Titanfall campaign dialogue and catch up in under 2 minutes. Or they'll probably just recap it, since nobody on Playstation has played it before either besides the tech test.

Erik73573490d ago

Even if he did his reading and caught up on the lore supposedly from multiple reviews it seems like it's not that great of a story to care about.

pandehz3491d ago

Lol Polygon

There has to be one every game release.

I'm certain this game is better than so many of the crappy games they gave 7.

corroios3491d ago

Polygon you gave 9 to the first. A game without SP, crappy graphics, rez, lack of game modes, titans, but now you give 7 to titanfall 2.... Well, maybe should leave videogaming and try baseball or surf....

Blaze9293491d ago

Maybe because they were wow'd the first time, and the second time not so much seeing as it's essentially the same game?

"Titanfall 2 isn't as groundbreaking or wildly inventive as the original game"

That's like asking me to go through the same experience twice and still feel the same way i did the first time. TF2 beta felt exactly like the first and depending on the person, that may or may not be a bad thing. Me personally, I'm not looking forward to TF2 - at least at full price. I can wait.

corroios3491d ago

did they sad the same with Gears????

Erik73573490d ago (Edited 3490d ago )

the guy reviewing it was hyping it up cause it was a exclusive.

Erik73573490d ago (Edited 3490d ago )

The first one should of got a 6-7 as well.

mad-dog3491d ago

Polygon mad because it's on PS4 now also.

Eonjay3491d ago

Its a shame to see how certain sites use their forum to try to make certain games successful and other games fail. They were shouting from the rooftops when this wasn't on PS4. Now, that the game is on PS4, with more content and an entire Single Player game, they don't like it anymore. Microsoft's bloggers are so volatile to the industry as a whole.

gangsta_red3491d ago

Yup, they scored it low because it's now on PS4 and it's all the MS bloggers fault. Let's not read the reasons why this reviewer actually gave it a lower score.

Do you guys even think about some of the comments you leave and how crazy they sound?

More modes and a campaign doesn't mean the game is automatically better. As this particular reviewer points out. He basically says it's all familiar territory established by the first game and the new things added are not that good.

But yea, it's only because it's now on PS4. Let's not even mention or once again take into consideration that Polygon has rated more PS4 games higher than any Xbox game on that site.

Eonjay3491d ago

No ones buying it. We aren't stupid.

gangsta_red3491d ago

"No ones buying it. We aren't stupid."

Well I'm not selling. How can you and others even consider that this reviewer is purposely lowering this review because it's on PS4? That sounds extremely stupid.

Aloy-Boyfriend3491d ago (Edited 3490d ago )

Polygon done fked up enough to be taken serious. Out of all the reviews sites, they seem to make the most noob-silly complains **cough** The last of us **cough** weapon sway **cough** insta death clickers **cough**

The familiar territories just got a slight twist based on the new features of this sequel (battery pick ips for shields, grappling hook, etc), and also it's got campaign that is getting good feedback and new modes

More content according to other reviewers seem to be a Plus with this one. That was the problem with the first and this game has fixed that apparently. So what is the problem again Polygon? Wouldn't surprise me if the guy just suck at it *cough* Doom Preview*cough*

Gazondaily3490d ago

Let's be honest. It's all because of their TLOU score. These guys are so bitter and their vendetta knows no bounds- they will carry it on forever because of the 7 Polygon scored that game

Aloy-Boyfriend3490d ago

Let's be honest Septic. You either are being ignorant about Polygon, or you haven't been in this site long enough to see them caught up in several fk ups regarding their reviews and staff.

Regardless of what they said about TLoU or what they say about any game, they are damn meme of a site. That wasn't even their worst case. Take some moment to read their reviews. They complain about gameplay mechanics they can't overcome, while other reviewers didn't have any problem with it.

kraenk123490d ago (Edited 3490d ago )

Rookiegangsta and the others...

Polygon aren't real gamers...they don't have skills. How could they ever rate a skill based game?! They simply can't, so just ignore it. They are a disgrace to gaming journalism. The vegan hipsters of gaming journalism to be exact.

I agree with this. The time travel mechanics. The sense of scale. The relationship with your mech. The bosses all had personalities. It's a wonderful game.

mastershredder738d ago

Yeah it was good, but it only did the time travel bit in one level. Dishonered 2 did the same thing. Now how about a game where it's implemented throughout the gameplay? Singularity says Hello (and deserves so much more recognition).

Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.

Chocoburger825d ago

I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.

The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.

shinoff2183825d ago

I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.

Knightofelemia825d ago

Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.

A best all time mecha game list without Zone of the Enders even on the list is 100% crap to me. Worth saying twice though not intentional
