Titanfall is a fantastic first-person shooter. Since I played the beta back in February, I was pretty well convinced that it would be the next big shooter in my life, succeeding fantastic games like CoD4: Modern Warfare, Red Orchestra 2 and Call of Duty 2. After a weekend of playing the final build, I can say without any shadow of doubt that Titanfall is one of the best FPS games I’ve played for a long, long time. Saying that, there are a fair number of issues I have with the game; although perhaps issues isn’t the right word, as they’re less problems with the game, more elements that the game is missing. In short, Titanfall is a fantastic game that should could keep me entertained for a long while, but it’s so easy to see that there is much, much more potential in what Respawn have created.
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.
I can't wait to see what they do with future Titanfall games. The potential is definitely there. I would say that Titanfall is already that "3rd" pillar in the FPS genre joining COD and BF.
Wait til Titanfall 2 comes out. That game will be epic.
Campaign could be epic, imagine fighting those giant monsters in the background with 4 titans in co-op. That would be something.
they still need to fix the frame drop.
