Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall is sweeping both headlines and Xbox Live right now. It may the “it” game right now, but much like the Spice Girls, Justin Bieber, and Furbies, its shelf-life looks to be much shorter than its peers.
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.
Yeah it's going to disappear with map pack out next month and more updates coming up.
Its been a hit just get over it!
Titanfall is a great game, the best online experience in a game you can have atm. I just dont think it is going to have the fan base of the heavy shooters out there. I really think MS only secured the exclusivity to the first Titanfall for that reason exactly. Get the best shooter out atm and make it an exclusive to your name. I just dont see it having the long term success as others. Once Halo, and gears come out i really dont see Titanfall being as huge as this time around. It all comes down to competition and atm Titanfall is the best FPS out, when Halo and gears come out it will be a different story.
To say though that Titanfall in anyway isnt a great game is just stupid, the game one award after award, the game is a complete blast to play. I highly highly recommend it to anyone, ive been addicted to it since release.
TF will be fine DLC coming and gameplay doesnt get enough credit for its freedom and level of competitiveness. A lot of people don't undertstand how little a lot of Tf players that I have spoken to care about a story mode. Different game modes and overall game elements work so well together for a great experience. Not talking from a fanboy perspective but as someone who has played shooters my whole life
Its like this guys wish that tf was never done...come on come on come on come on come on...jump in that titan fucker...
