When key members of Infinity Ward left to form Respawn Entertainment and make Titanfall, the question they had to answer was: could the studio make a game that’s as exhilarating and compulsive as the early Modern Warfare titles that made the Infinity Ward alumni famous? As it turns out, the answer to that question is yes.
The concept of a game in which the player can take out another human opponent with a shotgun, jump out of window, run across a wall and land in a gigantic mech, before launching a salve of missiles at an enemy titan and then ripping an opposing player from the chest of the damaged robotic beast is a compelling one. It’s also a concept that the cynic inside you might understandably interpret as little more than a dressing up of a tired formula, an indication that Titanfall is about nothing but spectacle. To an extent, Titanfall is about spectacle, but it’s also a fresh, taut and incredibly well-balanced shooter that is a hell of a lot of fun.
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.
Gonna say it first.........Nice
Have decided to buy this game after reading all these reviews! So excited
Hell yeah, you could download this digitally early and I must say, the Frame-Rate is very smooth and the image is crisp.
Love this Game.
Thank You Respawn!
My Xbox On is more than ready.... I have entered the caves, there's only My HD TV, Xbox One, LIVE, a Toilet, Beer.
I Shall see you all soon in a month or two, unless Mariahelfutura comes out with an anti Titanfall, xbox or Microsoft article to comment on.
The game is just that good :D
The sheer number of positive reviews is overwhelming (the haters), lol
