Kotaku: With the recent release of Titanfall, Respawn entertainment's FPS, many are quick to jump on the back of a Titan and ride it all the way to the second star past midnight....or something. However...with Loadout you have a game that promises many of the same game concepts in a free to play package. So which is the right game for you? Let me stress now: Both games are fun, amazing games in their own right, and I'm not being down on either of them.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
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.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
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."
Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.
Physical media. Unfortunately the way games are going these days game servers will eventually be shut down and you can stare at the menu and wish you could play the game again.
This is why reading is so important. Nothing to do with digital or physical media. The game, which is online only, is being delisted because of DDOS and other hacker attacks. The case got so bad that only six players in the world log on. For PC. Rather than fix it, they continued to sell the game, broken as it is, and only now just decided to call it quits. But please, go on thinking what you will.
I'm aware of the DDOS attacks and that this case is not typical. This game would eventually have it's servers shutdown regardless of the current situation so that is a moot point. My comment was in a general sense and that there are instances in which games can be preserved physically when official support ends.
Let's recap your first sentence. I said, "the way GAMES are going these days" indicating a broader stroke than just this game. I agree, reading IS important. I was simply stating the obvious downsides of the digital marketplaces and online only trends in games these days. I could even make the argument that the online only offering which has allowed hacker manipulation has impacted the preservation of this great game. My comment is valid in the general sense and thank you for your permission to continue to think what I will.
These two games are my most played atm plus some PVZ when I am playing one I feel I am neglecting the other.
Loadout sounds fun, I don't game on pc though. This is one pc game I'd like to see on ps4.
I'm not sure this guy has even played Titanfall for more than 10 minutes. The article is riddled with errors. Still, that's no reason not to publish an article on it :|
Whatever happened to Kotaku?
Edit: Oh it isn't Kotaku, it's some lame sub-blog. I'll just crawl back in my hole and see if I can figure out how to use a smart pistol as a side arm then.
Loadout is really fun to play, it's not pay to win either. If titanfall would have taken the same approach I would have played it from day 1.
Loadout is more fun to me but It didn't stand for more than 20 hours and for Titanfall it was 4 hours . My favorite MP game at the moment and of all time is Tribes Ascend this game is curse it makes every other shooter game looks like shit to me . I used to play BF - Gears of war - Halo ...etc but not anymore . I played Tribes more than 300 hours and still play it almost every day with full enjoy .
