In other news (and this is utter speculation), how awesome would it be if you got to choose the class of your Robot-buddy at the start of the campaign, so you could play through with different styles?

Dude shut up, that's not true, stop it.

Truth hurts man, but it's important to move on in life. Robot will never be forgotten, all those memories of the halcyon days, the naps you two took in the rays of dying sun, how you climbed robot arm covered in circuitry and featherlike solar panels, the way robot barked orders at you after you threw exploding barrels in its mouth.

Robot was a good robot. The Last Robot.

You do not; it just mimics the last thing you were doing and looks exactly like you. So if you're far away from someone and you pop it, then they won't know who to target (or you can hide around a corner and have it run ahead of you around the corner, so that people attack it instead of you). But obviously if you're in plain sight of people it won't be super useful.

I wonder if it could be used to divert someone from your sniper's nest?

The only problem with this is that Titanfall should be encouraging players to do the exact opposite of standing still in one spot.


Titans have been massively nerfed in this game, nobody really knows why seeing as the game is named after them but you're not alone in wondering what the point of them even is. They've gone from being highly customizable and fast-moving machines of death to slow and lumbering crutches with little survivability. The first game had a perfect balance between titans and pilots but this game has shifted the balance towards the pilots, even with movement being screwed up and map design being atrocious and counter-intuitive to the wall running mechanics.

Yikes.


Pass.

Those are good changes but I'm still not gonna buy on day 1, especially with Attrition being MIA
all they needed to to was ADD stuff (guns, customization, abilities), not take away mechanics that were fun and made it different from other games

did they seriously think the "waaah there's too many bots" people were the majority

To be fair, adding abilities and such tends to dramatically increase the burden of tweaking for balance

Why would they reward killstreaks with titans? Do they have some other currency to help people who are behind? Wouldn't rewarding the player on top with power just keep the scales uneven?


I'm thinking about tlou here, but in that game it gives extra supplies to the losing team in order to encourage close rounds, which ups the suspense.

It does kinda seem that the minority crowd is shouting the loudest here...

As someone who hasn't played either I looked up a video for the Attrition mode to see if I could spot the differences, keeping in mind that the levels are different.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4aljwnTtBw, TF1 There's a lot more action happening in a sort of killbox area here, but the map isn't very interesting, not sure if I can deduce the strategic flow of a match at this point. Close range play seems to be a big deal. I like that you have a sidearm pistol if you need it. Guy seems to spend most of the match in a titan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEyvxZ5llxQ, TF2 This map is a bit more spread out, and the guy playing it is still learning the area. There's definitely less bang per second early on, but the Titan stuff looks about the same. There's less emphasis on wall-running and more on grappling and and long range play. One of the guns looks like a CoD gun. Maybe a bit more gameplay variety?

TF1 gameplay looks a bit more twitch to me, less deliberate on the whole maybe?, but I guess neither TF1 or TF2 multi is really grabbing me at this point. I'd probably just be buying for the SP.

this game is cool and good, but grappling hook should def be a standard ability that every pilot has.

Yeah, this.



I also don't really think twitchiness is a selling point for me, so if it's less-so than TF1 I probably won't be offended. But it remains to be seen whether I can still have fun with multiplayer FPS games.

This game looks good in trailers, usually smooth with a lot going on, but whenever I see actual gameplay it just looks cluttered with loving text and icons and notifications. It's a real turnoff.











edit; VVVVVVVVVVVVVV That's good to hear. I do wish devs would find more inventive ways of conveying info to the player, though. TLoU manages to keep some of the info dump under control using sound, etc to convey some of it...but Uncharted 4 is back to the visual clusterfuck that started with 3.

For me it really scratched an itch I didn't know I had. It was the right mix of polish and a cool gimmick I guess. Everything felt how I would have wanted it too. I probably played the network test for like 15 hours.

Seems like a perfect game to play on the weekends. I don't really have time to be good at battlefield anymore and COD has felt way too stale to grab my interest for years.

Yeah, I mean the burden of proof is on the game at this point. So many multiplayer games on the market, it's just a mess.

Every dev swears they have the secret formula to keep people hooked. One mass delusion.

SUNKOS posted:

I regret not buying Evolve at launch because of this. I had a lot of fun with the beta (it was basically Predator: The Game) but was deterred from buying it at launch because of the negative reception and DLC controversy, which I regret now because the playerbase died months later and never recovered so I missed out on the game in its prime.

I'm not sure if Titanfall is subject to the same difficulties however because it's still easy to get a fully populated match in the game today (although not in every mode, unfortunately) whereas Evolve was literally dead before the f2p update, but if Titanfall 2 suffers the same fate as the original game I can see it still having a decent population at this point in its lifespan as the first game.

You see, I just do not get this mentality.

The burden is (and should be) on the dev team to not be a bunch of shitheels, rather than the customer feeling abstract guilt over missing out on generic garbage.

SUNKOS posted:

You misunderstood my post. I have no feelings of guilt and never feel any obligation to support any developer, whoever they are. I just regret that I missed out on Evolve back when it had a playerbase because I genuinely enjoyed the beta a lot and would have had fun with the full game for the three or four months it had a healthy population. I was relating that to Mordja's point of wanting to enjoy Titanfall 2 before the playerbase nosedives because it's the same thing, especially in comparison to Battlefield 1 which is guaranteed to still have a huge playerbase when EA is selling the game and all the DLC in bundles dirt cheap in a year or so.

Fair enough, I guess.

The marketing team for this game is really shooting themselves in the foot by not allowing the developers to mention Attrition is coming back

the fact that there even is a panic shouldn't have happened in the first place

Seems like they know they can't beat CoD so they want to at least capture some of the disappointed CoD audience, so they're advertising the similarities, sort of like how a trailer will misrepresent a movie's themes or pace in a bombastic way to capture mass attention.

I could be wrong, seems like the team knows what it's doing.
