"Having dominated E3, receiving several awards and winning in all its nominated categories, Titanfall was touted by many to be the second coming for competitive FPS’. "
"Is Titanfall one of the many seemingly ‘over-hyped’ games of this year joining the ranks of Infamous: Second Son, Watchdogs and Destiny?"
Gaz from Gameondaily discusses why Titanfall failed to live up to its expectations
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'm pretty sure Titan fall is still being played by more people than Second Son, and. Watch Dogs.
I'm not sure why people keep implying it went somewhere
It has disappeared off he radar but I would put it down to the simple fact that other games have come out. Also, many people haven't made the jump to next-gen yet because it was forced upon is consumers quite suddenly and there are many cross-generation titles on the way too. It's just old now.
Might have lacked content but still the most fun I've had with a shooter since bad company 2 , don't knock it till you have tried it.
It was a nice idea. I'm sure the sequel will be a lot better. But just felt like COD+mechs and a bit of parkour. COD was getting boring even before the next gens appeared, so not surprised it suffered from some amount of player fatigue.
it lacked content but it's just amazing man and well very done
sometimes it's unbelievable how fast paced and well structured the gameplay is, almost unreal, the game has expanded the online MP and render the usual MP irrelevant, Vintage Original Infinity Ward
i expect great future for the franchise, the talent is there, just add a great campaign, expand stuff and have some good soundtrack and story and you'll have a modern day classic
