I think the bigger issue here is that this game 's downgrade was so phenomenally huge, that the end result is a game that is nothing like what was advertised. It's a massive bait and switch.

The NeoGAF thread is eye opening. Not only is lighting completely gone, but they gutted a whole lot of the complexities in texturing and environment. The game genuinely looks PS2-level empty in some dungeons.

And what really pisses me off is that they spent a whol...

It's not the people's fault. It's not our fault that we are demoed a game that is much more promising than what they end up giving us.

The "it's about the gameplay" excuse doesn't apply here. We were shown a game that was entirely different than what we ended up getting. If FROM at least let people know beforehand about the changes, it wouldn't hurt so much, but people literally bought the game expecting what was demoed. What they got was som...

I don't remember, but how much were games like MAG and Warhawk?

I am reading Warhawk was full price, but had a digital option that was much cheaper. How much was MAG again?

Great article, dude.

After playing the latest episode and see a returning character, I found myself really appreciating the pacing of episodic games. Much like TV shows, they stay with you and can come to shape your next few, literal years.

Season 1 stuck with me since its inception, and seeing the payoff in the latest episode actually left me with a surprising emotional reaction. I was happy, yet almost moved to tears, and I hadn't felt that way since th...

Oh boy, thanks!

I know there are a bunch of priorities they need to fix/update, but I really want to see how many hours I've sunk into my games. Steam, 3DS, and I think even Xbox One does this.

I've seen both terms used for TitanFall, but you are technically correct. Thanks!

Perhaps that's the source of confusion for some who assume that the grunts/A.I are "bots".

People aren't going to drop $500 for a game, if they can play on their old console. This isn't like Battlefield where the player count is neutered on last gen consoles. I don't see anything in Titanfall's beta that can't be done on the Xbox 360.

That's the problem: It's not coming to one of the two major consoles, so people are going to get overly critical of it. It's not hard to see how many people try so hard to find fault. Clinging to the OnlyUseMeBlade video (where he goes out of his way to kick bots, and ignores the game mode), and the wilful ignorance on how bots play a role in the game constantly getting spouted just show that some people are bent on putting this game down at all costs.

I really li...

Titanfall Bots aren't supposed to be like the ones in Unreal Tournament at all. You are missing the point.

Bots are meant to be dumb fodder, but I definitely agree that they could look less robotic. I wish they made the grunts actual robots, since that would at least explain why they move so archaically.

And I agree with this game's future: lots they can do to evolve and advance it. It's a damn good start, and I can't wait to see what they do with a sequel.

14 maps seems confirmed, but this is the first I'm hearing about split-screen.

This game will be really fun if they can get 4 player split-screen. It's what makes games like Halo and COD so popular, and COD actually took a step back with it this gen.

Saying they "count as kills" makes no sense. They clearly distinguish between a pilot kill and bot kill.

That's like saying killing creeps in DOTA is the same as killing the actual players. There is a clear role for bots: they serve as fodder to reduce the titan fall cooldowns. Nobody complains in a MOBA that bot kills are worth actual kills. They don't "count" towards your official KDR. No one praises a player who has 50 bot kills and 10 deaths. P...

The hand-drawn facial animations are really something, though I do think Ni No Kuni should have taken that category

Killzone doesn't have it. Only Killzone 3 did, and it was very half-heartedly implemented.

Even the new Call of Duty scaled split-screen down to 2 players. Games like Halo have always been the most consistently, fully featured titles when it comes to offering multiplayer features like split-screen.

I know it's a matter of priority, but split-screen is a huge deal to me. Titanfall not having this really sucks, but I'm hoping the sequel has room for...

OG Drake sounds good to me.

I'd be fine with a new character, and even more important: a new setting.

At this point, I want to discover it for myself...even though I'll probably watch any leaked footage.

Good old days of COD4 and WaW. I remember disliking MW2 so much but now I remember it nostalgically.
