Titanfall Beta Impressions-JPS

"Ever since it was announced at E3 2013, Titanfall has easily been one of the most talked about video games coming to any system. While a Microsoft exclusive on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC, many are still calling the title a system seller for the Xbox One. With the game’s release for Xbox One and PC on March 11 less than a month away, Respawn Entertainment is holding a closed beta in which JPS has gotten the opportunity to check out on Xbox One. As a result, we thought we'd give our impressions to let you know kind of what you should expect when the game releases next month."

played titanfall on PC hoping for the best. sorely disappointed. The AI is a complete joke and i wish they left it out and had the game be 12 v 12. Other than that, it felt exactly like i was playing blops 2 with mechs. Which for me was great. But I cannot get over the HORRIBLE enemy AI. Then I downloaded Loadout on steam. A free to play game. HOLY CRAP. way better than titanfall. haha learn something every day. Anyways, back to loadout. /rambles

AI is supposed to be horrible. They're for farming.

Teams of 12 would mean maps would have to be much larger in order to adequately accommodate 24 titans running round. 6 vs 6 and a possible total of 12 massive titans patrolling a map is plenty.

And the AI minions aren't supposed to pose much of a threat to players, certainly not as much as an enemy pilot. They're present to provide the matches with something of a cinematic feel, and killing them benefits anyone looking to reduce their Titanfall countdown.

It isnt working. It just looks terrible. The bots are so stupid that its actually distracting. I had a hard time finding a HUMAN to kill. And for an online shooter, thats just stupid.

Sovereign593712d ago

Keep your eyes on rooftops, that's where I get most of my pilot kills. And use the bots to your advantage. If you see a group of them getting gunned down, if you're quick you should have no trouble getting the drop on the human player taking them out.

Was just playing this on my brother's PC. It's super easy to jump right in and it's tons of fun. The guys at Respawn Entertainment have a real jewel in their hands. I have a feeling that between this game and Desinty, Call of Duty won't be the powerhouse of nex-gen.

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.

MadLad588d ago

Lol

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

Venoxn4g587d ago (Edited 587d 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."

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.

littletad868d ago

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.

Ethereal867d ago

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.
